21: New information

THIRD PERSON POVEveryone wanted a story, perhaps an explanation... But no one wanted the truth. The ten council members of Nevanda—which were the Alphas of the Eight packs, the elder of the witch coven, and the Alpha King—sat around, all quiet.The Alpha king Ren , sat at the head of the table. It was the first time the council meeting was being held in Fenrir, and in the academy at that. They did say desperate times called for desperate measures, no? Fenrir was the original seat of the old Kings of Nevanda, it was the power Pack while Eden—The current power pack—was nothing but a footstool, however it all changed when King Ren's father—Iscar Ender, took the throne, or for lack of better words—usurped it from his lover—Eve Lucan, and then married her best friend. This was the start of Eve's enmity for the monarch, and it only escalated when she eventually married Fenrir's Pack Alpha—Alpha William, who was Talon's Father. She then vowed to take revenge on Iscar. There was a lot more

22: the locket, princess

Back in Elroy... SORAYA Being a supernatural thrives on just one feeling—rage—and to be like them even as a human, you must learn to channel yours as well. There were a lot of scenarios going on in my head, on why Ethan Farrow had Ilana on her knees, his dagger to her throat, and a murderous intent in his eyes. But none of them seemed plausible, as I thought they at least got along better than he with Daryl. "Put that dagger down, Farrow." Daryl didn't move from where he stood, he was still dangerously close to me, even though his hold had dropped from my waist. The music had stopped, and the students had scrambled out, leaving only a few onlookers, and even they were inching out carefully. Cowards. "She has something of mine, and until she gives it back, she's at risk of her blood exhausting on my dagger, and even you, cannot stop me, Prince," Ethan responded darkly. Ilana was strangely calm. In fact, I could swear she had a smile on her face despite her se

23: possessed news

SORAYA When Daryl came back with the healer, he stepped back to allow her to do her job. The healer — Miss Lena — held up her fingers. "Can you see this movement, Karter?" She asked, wiggling them. I wanted to roll my eyes because obviously I could see her fingers, but I didn't. I nodded instead. "Good. Do you feel any pain?" I shook my head. "Good. You are discharged then. You can get a tonic potion at the pharmacy just to be safe. My work here is done." She smiled and walked away, leaving Daryl and I alone. "Soraya—" I was already off the bed. "Where are you going?" He asked. "To find Ethan Farrow." "You just passed out twice." "I'm aware." I found my shoes at the foot of the bed and reached for them. "Which is exactly why I need to find Ethan Farrow." He was quiet for a moment. Then he fell into step beside me as I walked out of the clinic without being invited. "I didn't ask you to come," I said flatly. "I know." He didn'

24: more than we know

SORAYA I was falling... I couldn't help it, and then i landed with Ethan's pendant clutched in my hands. How the hell do I even have it with me? It was the same place I had seen the first vision. Plain, and void of anything living. "You are here again." The voice was the same as the last one, but it was much closer this time, like she was right in my ear. I stayed calm. "Who are you, and why am I here again?" "One question at a time little girl, I am no robot." I rolled my eyes, wondering if she could see the act. "Who are you?" A low chuckle. "It is quite unfortunate that you don't recognise my voice, I remember I spoke to you when you turned 5. Filthy human memory," she scoffed, "and so fragile." "I'm quite sure you didn't bring me here to insult me now, did you?" I was a bit braver this time. Not that the strange voice didn't scare me, but at least I had my comeback ready most especially because I needed answers and the weird voice was probably the

25: Trouble speaks

SORAYA What was it about trouble that seemed to follow me everywhere I went? "Good morning, soldiers." I scoff at the title. It is 6:30 in the evening, and we are all here standing under the looming moonlight like a tribute waiting to be offered. "Yeah, right," I hear Dolly say with a scoff beside me. Also what I was thinking. Our instructors today are the two palace instructors Sir Sinclair had been bragging about — the very best, he'd said. One is tall enough to block out the sun, and the other looks like she belongs on a magazine cover rather than behind a sword. They both had a sword strapped to their waist."Alright, listen up," the tall one barked, his voice carrying across the training grounds. "I'm Commander Aldric, and this is Lieutenant Vale. Today we will work on your sword skills." Lieutenant Vale stepped forward, her piercing blue eyes scanning our formation with undisguised disdain. "Because with the petty training you've undergone as stude

26: death wish it knew

DARYL I had followed her, and I had seen. The prickling in my chest at the betrayal I felt was not hurt... far from it. It was anger. Pure, unyielding anger that could only be quenched if I had blood on my fingers. I had told Soraya to meet me in the library, as if speaking to her would change what I saw. I did have a penchant for doing ridiculously stupid things anyway. Her scent hit me before I even saw her. Stupid, adulterated scent, yet still distracting enough to have my wolf senses purring in my head. I flexed my fingers in my gloves as she finally came to me. She was dressed in her signature black slacks and black shirt, her curls falling over her shoulders. I was going to confront her, but it felt more like I was being seduced. I could see the outline of the dagger strapped to her belt. "I'm only here because you seem to have a misconstrued notion of me." I scoffed at her words. "Since when have you ever cared about what I

27: what do you want?

SORAYA "Girl, where have you been? You missed out on what happened not quite long ago!" Adele beamed at me as I entered the room. Dolly scoffed at my presence, but I didn't really mind because I was in a dilemma. I had been trying to reach Quinn but she wasn't picking my calls. I feared the worst had happened, and as much as I wanted to go back to the settlement. I knew I couldn't because the royal soldiers will be there, and what if they caught me? Daryl's threat still rang at the back of my head and honestly I just wanted to dip and get the hell out of eden. But I couldn't, because of this silly sense of responsibility that cling to me like a second skin. I really hoped Quinn wasn't dead. "Soraya, are you okay?" Adele asked me. I sighed, pulling out my dagger from my sides and laying it on the table beside my bed, before I finally sat on my bed. "I'm fine." Dolly looked at me, her eyes glinting with curiosity or more like she was suspicious of me. "W
