Semua Bab Gifted With Two Wolves: Fated To Two Rival Kingdoms : Bab 91 - Bab 100

The forest was too still.Although the branches bent in the wind, there was no actual sound. No bird, No insect, No life. It was just the cold, harsh whisper of unease and emptiness in my mind as Kira was gone.My claws dug into the bark of the pine beneath my fingers as I tried to ground myself.. tried to think, to map out a proper plan as to how I would find and get her back to me. But the scent... her scent, it was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It was clinging to the bark of trees, it was tangled in thorns, it was even soaked into the moss of the forest floor.It was faked.It was covered.It was bloody scattered.“She was dragged at first,” Kai snarled as he paced in my head. “Then she was lifted. Then.. damn it, I can’t follow it. They masked her trail, they knew all too well what they were doing.”I swallowed hard, forcing down the knot of panic and anger climbing up through my throat. I hadn’t felt her presence in a few hours. I could feel nothing... not even a flic

The door clicked softly shut behind me as I stepped back into my chambers. Moonlight spilled across the polished floor in sharp, silver slits. The rest of the palace had gone quiet hours ago... but I didn’t need sleep.No... not tonight.I moved to my wardrobe and gently pulled it open, then pressed my palm against the back panel. A dull click responded to my touch... my secret closet. It was small, and just enough space to hide the things no one could ever find.I slid the compartment open. And carefully placed a jar filled with rain water and a pair of eyes as well as a tongue..."You shouldn’t have said yes when I asked you to help me," I murmured quietly.I closed the door and locked it again. The air in the room felt a bit colder now, though I knew it wasn’t because of the weather.It was always cold when something terrible was about to happen.I turned to my mirror. My cheek still throbbed and ached where Mother had effortlessly slapped me. Not just once but twice..A clean

"If any one of you remembers anything... Anything at all, do not hesitate to find me."And then I dismissed the last of the servants with a silent nod, then slowly watched them bow and scatter like autumn leaves in the wind. None dared ask questions. I sat on the edge of the stone hedge in my garden with my hands folded in my lap and my spine painfully straight. The breeze was cool.. too cold for summer and it cruelly bit my skin like it knew the bad and unforgivable things I had done.I could still feel the sting of Mira’s cheek beneath my palm.Goddess please forgive me.I hadn’t meant to raise my hand. But she had said words I couldn't take... and all I saw was red hot anger. That look in her eyes... like she was slipping further away from me, like she enjoyed it. I didn’t know her anymore. Or maybe I never really had.Raymond’s voice echoed in my mind from earlier, right after I had slapped his dear Mira... after he’d pulled me away from her like I was the one losing control

The cold wind of the night felt wrong and It cut across the trees like it was hell bent on hunting me... carrying the scent of blood, moss, and something odd. Something that tasted like memory if you bite down hard enough.Memory of my Kira.I dragged my claws through the dirt again, like if I dig deep enough I’ll find her buried there or anywhere. Like maybe she just fell into the ground, slipped through my fingers and vanished under the weight of everything.“Dante.” Kai slowly spoke, his voice steady. Too steady.“I said stand down.” Kai growled again.. He was my shadow and my conscience, when I’m too far gone to hear my own heartbeat and right now I guess I was about to go far.“I’m fine,” I growled back at him.“You’re not, Dante, you're not fine and I can't believe I'm the one begging you to calm down..” he replied evenly. “Your aura’s flaring up like wildfire.... You're losing your grip. You know what that means.”“Two days,” I say, still staring down the tree line like it in

I paced the edge of the clearing, my hands curled into tight fists. The calm breeze did nothing to warm the tension sitting heavy on my chest. The air around me crackled.. not with anger, but with frustration so thick it could choke.“We don’t have time for this, Odessa,” I snapped, whirling to face her. “You’re leading the search party now? Really? You should go back to your daughter.. and if she has any sense left, she should bring Kira out before this turns into a war!”Silence followed, sharp and heavy. Then... movement.Dante had said nothing as he walked past her and past me. He didn’t even look up at any of us.. He just moved to the edge of the clearing and crouched again, his fingertips brushing the earth like he was feeling something no one else could sense. His eyes were distant, unreadable, as if the world around him had faded into a background noise and it made my frustration increase.I couldn't take his silence anymore so I finally scoffed. “Is he seriously squatting rig
