Alle Kapitel von kisses of vengeance : Kapitel 111 – Kapitel 120

Anna's POV The air was still smelling of blood and wet earth when the wind shifted. I didn’t move as I wasn't bothered even with my vines attacked and cut down The last of my vine beasts twitched on the ground with its severed stems leaking green liquid on the soil. My gaze turned toward the dark treeline where the sword came from. Two figures darted through the shadows. They landed beside the injured assassin woman and one crouched down to lift her while the other covered them. The faint hum of spiritual power mists pulsed all over their bodies. My eyes narrowed. "Does assassins have backups?" The new arrivals stepped into view and the remaining assassins who had survived stood behind them. The injured woman was already pale and shaking. She clung to the man carrying her with her eyes widened in fear as she whispered, "My Lord, you are here." The taller of the two newcomers raised a hand. "Let us forget about pleasantries now," he said sharply. "We need to focus on the en

Anna's POV Although my face looked cold and I was filled with anger, my heart was strangely calm. My eyes never left Alpha Nicholas, yet it seemed like he was far away. I kept replaying every step of my plan. The vines, the injured assassin, the battlefield, and everything that had been arranged long before I came into this body. From the moment I saw the Chariot earlier, I already knew that the Shafter Pack would never allow their children to travel alone. I was suspecting that there must be hidden guards roaming in the shadows. Those assassins dressed in black with their spiritual powers suppressed were my confirmation. But what I needed to know wasn’t just who protected him, I wanted to know if he cared about them. Were they just disposable pawns? Or were they truly important to him? I could have killed them quietly in a place far from here. My power was more than enough to do that. But I brought them here deliberately to the forest in Alpha Thornton's territory where I knew

Anna's POV Meanwhile, not far from the yard. I walked along the stone path that led to the west wing. My expression was calm but my eyes still flickered with confusion. Suddenly, a voice called from behind. "Lady Noelle!" I turned slightly and saw Wendy as she was hurrying down the path to catch up with me with her dress flapping around her legs. She bowed quickly when she reached my side. "You’re awake early, my Lady. Did you rest well?" I gave a short nod. "Yes." "And your husband?" Wendy asked carefully. "I heard there was some commotion last night." "He’s fine." My tone was flat as I didn't want to offer any room for further questions. Wendy blinked as if she had sensed something unusual in my mood. "That’s good, that’s really good," she said with awkwardness. After a moment, she leaned closer. "My lady, have you heard? Many strange things are happening in the Pack. Even the Alpha's Fort is experiencing restlessness." I raised an eyebrow. "Strange things?" "Yes," Wendy w

Anna's POV Everyone froze. The whole yard remained silent. Even the wind stopped moving. Every youth, elder and servant of Thornton Family stared at me like they were seeing a ghost that just stepped out of a dream. "Is she a sorcerer?" someone finally whispered. "How did she become a sorcerer?" "No, it's impossible," another muttered. "Lady Noelle was tested years ago in the Forest Dragon Pack by the Seer. They said she had no spiritual root, she can never become a sorcerer! All the elders witnessed it!" "How could she control vines if she wasn't?" One of the elders clutched his chest in disbelief. "That’s impossible! No one that doesn't have a spiritual root can even sense power much less control it!" The murmurs spread like wildfire. Some youths stepped back while others leaned forward with their eyes wide to confirm if what they saw was real. The King's disciples were also confused and horrified. I didn’t move, I stayed glued to the same spot quietly with my calm eyes sta

Anna's POV I sat across from Alpha Nicholas at the long wooden table. The air between us felt heavy and quiet. Alpha Nicholas was sitting straight with his eyes fixed on mine but he didn’t know what to say. His heart beat fast and his fingers trembled slightly despite how hard he was trying to appear calm. I, on the other hand, was composed. My face was still and cold but deep inside, my mind was far from calm. In front of me was the man who would make us lose the peace in our own timeline. The man who would become so evil and destroy many packs. But now, he was sitting here quietly, looking unsure and fragile. It felt unreal and I felt guilty. How many devils was he going to create to have an effect on my timeline? How many lives would he still take? But right now that he was sitting before me, he was not yet corrupted, he was not yet the monster that caused us problems in our timeline. I drew a small breath and forced my thoughts to settle. I needed answers. The assassins fr
