All Chapters of The Awakening of Slave: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Senna’s POVThe next morning, back at the waterfall cave, everyone agreed that we should go out and look for sector borns. We had a safe place to bring them to. If anyone wanted help, we could offer that for them.Junie was getting ready to go but I shook my head.“No way,” I told her. “It’s not safe for you.”“Well what am I supposed to do?” she asked.“Stay here,” I told her.“Alone?” she asked, her eyes widening.“It’s safe here,” Kalev said gently. “No one can find you. The island will protect you.”“I can look after her,” Jett said. He stood up. I’d almost forgotten he was there. He’d been lurking in the shadows of the cave, out of sight.My first instinct was no. We didn’t know this boy. He was from the capital. Junie was important to me. I’d made a promise to Mira that I would protect her. Was it really a good idea to leave her here with a stranger?“That sounds good,” Kalev said. “You can both stay behind. Sit tight. Don’t go anywhere.”Korrigan and I exchanged a look. It was

Kalev’s POVWe came through the waterfall fast. So fast, that I didn’t quite believe what I was seeing when we stepped through.Junie was right. This was all my fault. I never should have trusted that noble born boy. I’d been a fool and I’d put us all in danger.But he was a child. That had clouded my judgment. A child, yes. But that didn’t make him innocent by default.Senna’s words had stung. She was right. I’d built the island for her, and her alone. It wouldn’t bend to anyone else. Not unless someone else on the island had a flora wolf.So Junie was out there, somewhere. And she was in danger. Senna was probably right. The young noble boy had betrayed us all. He’d always planned on taking someone right back to his alliance. It was Viktor. I was sure of it.I didn’t blame Senna for grabbing her bow and marching off to find Junie. But I’d be damned if I was going to let her go alone. Korrigan and Isolde had the same idea.So we ran after her and burst through the waterfall.And as s

Kalev’s POVSenna walked ahead of me with Junie close to her side. I was glad those men were dead, but Senna looked uncomfortable. I was thinking about the island, and about what I’d created. I hadn’t planned for the island to take on a life of its own. But now that it had, I didn’t know what that meant.Korrigan and Isolde walked behind us. They were tense and I could feel their tension. The sight of the men being pushed off the side of the cliff was still raw in my mind. Jett was only a child. He’d betrayed us, but he was a product of his circumstance and environment. Deep down, I couldn’t really blame him for being loyal to the nobles. Nobility was in his blood.Kalen hadn’t said a single thing since we left the ridge. I didn’t trust that men as far as I could throw a stick. I hated that Senna was allowing him to stay with us. He was a vile man, who had not only sold Senna and Junie to the games, but he’d also been hunting flora wolves.It was going to be very hard for me to have h

Senna’s POVThe rock was heading right for Kalen’s head. He wouldn’t even have time to move out of the way. Good, I thought to myself. He doesn’t deserve to live. This would be the vengeance I so desperately wanted.But half-way down the fall, the rock came to a complete stop. We all stared, stunned. The rock was suspended in mid-fall.Silence filled the cave so completely it felt like pressure in my ears. And then Verity spoke.“Flora wolf.”Her voice was not loud. It didn’t need to be. Her words caught me off. I didn’t know what she was talking about.I stared at the suspended rock first, unable to process anything beyond it. It hung there, perfectly still, with dust and fragments frozen around it in a halo. Kalen was beneath it, head tilted slightly upward, eyes locked on the impossible moment above him.No one moved. No one breathed. The cave was perfectly silent.“What?” I said.It came out sharper than I intended. But I didn’t understand what she meant. Flora wolf? Verity didn’t

Senna’s POVI didn’t stop hating him. How could I?I couldn’t. I never would. Just because Verity wanted to spare him didn’t make me suddenly forget everything he’d done.Kalen stood a few steps away from the rest of us. His eyes were full of fear. He’d been saved by Verity, but barely. He shuddered. He couldn’t even look at Kalev he was so afraid.The moment he’d let out his wolf, Verity had responded. Kalen’s wolf was small and weak. It wasn’t used to being let out. His wolf was way too vulnerable.Verity had pushed against me. She felt the needed to protect Kalen’s wolf, even if she hated Kalen himself. I’d let her out. She’d had a stand off with Orrin and won. She’d made it perfectly clear that no one was to hurt Kalen’s wolf.Which meant no one was to hurt Kalen.Truth be told, I didn’t like this. I wanted him to die, just like everyone else. I’d intentionally let the island feel my wrath. The island had responded and sent a rock straight for his head.But Verity wasn’t going to
