Novel & Cerita I Volunteer As Tribute

Veronica hung her head. She left something out? Nicholas and I glanced at each other, before the Oracle spoke up once more, reclaiming our attention. “For the volunteers it will be painful. Perhaps you’ve guessed as much. The sacrifice of life force, even that freely given, leaves it’s toll. Knowing this, do you wish to persist?” “Yes,” I said at once. “This changes nothing for me.” I realized as soon as I said it, that I shouldn’t speak for my friends. Though I was willing to do whatever it took to save Elva, that didn’t mean the same for others.

They came to a hault on the lawn beside the pool, just steps away for the table that eveyone was standing beside at that moment. General Han stepped forward and said "Master and Madame. We are here to volunteer for testing. Each man and woman here has been informed of the process and of the dangers involved. When I told them of the need, and who the need was for, every single man and woman stood up to volunteer of their own free will. They have expressed their admiration and respect for both of you, and feel that it would be an honor to be selected to be the donor. The rest of the force is either out of town or on shift. But all have volunteered as well." Rick had tears in his eyes as much a

I remembered when I had training with Aron when it was my witch part that was present, in the middle of the training he decided to switch to a duel, he was not merciful at all Aron attacked me on all sides when he was really close to my face he raised his claws and was about to swipe at my neck when my hands transformed to claws at the last minute and I was able to block his attack, but it immediately retracted back. After that it has happened three more time also during intense fights. “ so it’s my turn to talk now huh” I said towards Chase sheepishly. “ yeah, I want to also know what’s going on in your life. I’m your best friend” “ I know and I’m sorry for keeping you in the dark. It’s not

He continued, voice casual like he was merely talking about mailing a postcard. I blinked, my brain trying to catch up. "Wait. Are you saying you… you did that for me?" He tilted his head, his smirk softening into something almost genuine. "I don't share my prey, Valencia. But for you? I'll make an exception. I always pay back what is owed in tenfold. Good or bad. I don't know whether to classify your actions as bravery or misplaced loyalty. But it doesn't change the fact that your reckless will to die was commendable."

I asked, pausing momentarily. Carefully setting the roses down, he flipped the parcel over. “It's an IV for some event. Want me to open it and check who it's from?” “Sure, why not?” I raised my sticky hands to show him that I couldn't do it myself. “It's a birthday invitation and the IV was sent by an Evelyn from The Tribe. What's that?” “Oh, you know Evelyn.” “I do?” He arched a brow. “Well, you know her father anyway. He's Stephen Kain of Kain Industries. I met up with her and a bunch of girls over a month back and we sort of bonded.” I explained to him. “We call ourselves ‘The Tribe’.”

"You cannot just stay back here and let them all fight alone in this raging war, because you are scared to see your mate who rejected you." "He isn't just my mate, Rosa." I muttered. "He is the Alpha king! The ‘tribrid’ Alpha King! Meaning, he has the power to make or break me. I am already broken enough, having lived such a secluded life for several years now. I would go crazy if he still hates me."

Private. "I'm not the best person to comment on the party, but I'm sure Talia has stories to tell. She made a friend and she secured us a tribute from the Steelbone pack." Talia smiled at Drake's words. She made a friend, Kalina. Maya was interested in the second part. "What tribute?" Maya wondered, why would Alpha Richard give them tribute? Talia shook her head with a smile, indicating that it's not a big deal. She didn't want to talk about Cassie. "Drake needs to negotiate the tribute. When that happens, you will know more than I will."

“Unchaining you was supposed to make you aware.” I squint my eyes. “Aware of what?” “That you are more useful to me alive than dead.” His luscious, tempting lips curl into a slant that is neither a smile nor a smirk. A chill creeps down my spine, followed by an unwelcome flutter inside my belly. “Dear princess, you are my Queen Tribute. I thought you were unworthy to rule beside me the second you arrived in my fortress. But I'm having doubts now. Do you know why?”

We couldn’t afford another distraction or blow out at this point, not when we'd come close to going home. Vivian ended her speech with a sweet smile and bowed her head to Hunter. In return, he gave her a long kiss, and I forced myself to watch it with an unreadable expression. “As Luna Vivian has spoken of sacrifice,” he said smoothly, “I believe it is only fitting to acknowledge another kind of sacrifice made recently, one of courage and instinct.” What? What was he talking about? I asked myself that question, but deep down, I already knew the answer. “We do not forget those who save lives. And so, in honor of that act, tonight, there will be a toast. A toast fit for total strangers who wou

Her mind wandered away and she could only see the priest lips moving but she wasn’t hearing anything he was saying. Different pack members paid their last tribute to Milan, starting from the Luna and then to Ethan and other close people of Milan. Suddenly everywhere went silent and she wonders why all the pack members were staring deeply at her. “ Dana! It’s your turn,” the priest callled softly.It was them she realized she was being called to pay her tribute to Milan. She walked up there, her feet moving trudgingly on the floor. She lowered her gaze as she step in front of everybody. She felt the burning gaze of some pack members on her skin.
