All Chapters of My Mark Is His Poison : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 12FINNLEY'S POVEveryone seemed to move around the pack house as though they were walking on egg shells.My brows were furrowed in concern as I walked around hoping to catch up with whatever had happened within the last few days. Since I was nearly non-existent, I easily blended in with everyone else as they carried out their duties, but something felt... odd. People spoke in whispers, the hallways were cleared in seconds when someone whispered that an elder was coming and even the children were not running around as much anymore.Nearly all the people I walked past held their shoulders tensely. Some of them kept flickering their eyes around uneasily while others moved with stiff, hurried steps, as though they didn't want to linger in the hallways. My heart ached to see what my pack, my own family, had become. I walked out to the small courtyard and my heart leaped happily when I sighted Elias, one of the wolves I could trust. He noticed me walking over and quickly met m

Chapter 14JULIAN'S POVI spat out threats to them in a cold, tone, and although I hated the look of fear on their faces, I did not have time to spare apologizing for being bossy and commanding."She... I swear I still don't know what you're talking about, Beta," Finnley responded, still trying to stand by his obvious lie. I had spent two days carefully following his scents and footprint whenever I saw them. Now, I had finally tracked him down. I silently applauded him for his nerve. He feigned ignorance, pretending not to understand, but I had no time for any silly little back and forths.I knew she was here. The pale look on their faces gave me all the proof I needed."So what's it going to be, Finnley?" I passed him a wicked smile. "You have only ten seconds left to make a decision." I waited for them to finally give in while we engaged in what seemed to be a tense stare-off.I held no ill intentions for Freya but they did not have to know that. All I was desperate for was to get

Chapter 16FREYA'S POV They say walls have ears, but I never realized how true the saying was until the entire pack somehow found out about my return before the sun even fully rose the next morning."I've never seen this many people wanting to take this route before," Finnley muttered as Julian returned to the cabin from the pack house.Outside, as people passed by, they either glanced at or pointed towards the cabin, muttering something."Are you sure this place is still safe enough for us?" Sera asked with concern, as though reading my own thoughts. "What if they come for her?" "No one would," Julian replied confidently. "If that was going to happen, we would have been surrounded by guards hours before now." "How are you so certain of that?" Finnley asked him."Because Cassandra saw us leave," he replied flatly. "Besides, I won't let anything happen to any of you." The assurance in Julian's voice slightly eased the tension in the room and made me sigh with relief. "Did you event

Chapter 18GIDEON'S POV During my usual morning examination the next day, the physician gave vague details of the new healer who had taken care of me. He only knew she was a former banished woman, but that was not enough information. We had had many banished for breaking pack rules and laws because Willow Ridge was not kind to defaulters. So, when I sent out the letter, I hoped desperately that my guess had not been wrong. Otherwise, I would be inviting an absolutely different person into my space.But if I was right about what I'd felt, then she would be here soon. I found myself hoping she was not going to be a one-time healer. One sent only to give me hope that I was still going to live.It had been weeks since I'd felt like myself, and just after one session with her, I could feel life returning to my body. Although I was still operating at less than a quarter of my body's full capacity, I knew that whatever she had given me was far better than what the others had.I had felt

Chapter 20ELENA'S POV "I still find it difficult to believe you're right here with me, Elena," Freya said with a smile as we settled down on the grass behind the cabin, overlooking a massive field and the setting sun."You have to tell me every single thing," she added and I let out a dramatic sigh.I was not sure how obvious it was, but my mind had been trying to process so many different emotions all at once since I stepped into the pack. Even though I had been terribly scared to have gotten roped into whatever it was Doctor Carver and Freya had in common, but I was thrilled to take on the adventure. To make things even better, when I arrived, Finnley had tried his best to help me understand everything about the pack as well as how they operated. But it was only three hours before Freya arrived, so it was nearly impossible to compress everything within that short period."Where do I even start?" I shook my head. "I just can't help but wonder what would have happened if Doctor Ca
