"What are you doing! " she said loudly as she tried to protest. "Shhhh I'll explain everything later, hold tight. " I warned her before my fangs showed and ran. Kiera's Point of View Am I dreaming? Did I just see his teeth grow? His eye color changed too. It became darker blue than before. I am now looking at his face while he is running at an overwhelming speed. How can a human run at this unbelievable speed? Something is not normal.

I did everything to be a good friend, only to be treated as my so-called best friend’s scapegoat. When her husband found cigarette ash in their house, she claimed I was the one smoking. When she snuck off for a private rendezvous with her lover, she told him she was celebrating my birthday. And when she got pregnant, she pinned the blame on me again, declaring I was consumed with jealousy—that I had spiked her drink and hired someone to violate her. Enraged, her husband marched to my doorstep wielding a blade and hacked me to death. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the exact day she had asked me to cover for her affair.

Curse me and my nice personality. I look back, and he’s let the beast go, thinking I’ve run away. The beast turns around to look at Victor with so much anger on his face.

She scrambled away from me, terrified, and ran out of the room. --- ### The Beast’s Arrival I couldn't eat. I sat by the window, watching the red moon rise.

Why don't you run?” It slid closer on lionish feet. I trembled. “Could it be...” the beast whispered, “that you're terrified?”

feeling really frustrated I obliged. but turns out it was what I needed. the run was amazing. I was feeling lighter. I couldn't see Aaron's beast anywhere but I kept on running. I knew what he was trying to do but for once my beast was not having it. she was done with this cat and mouse game. she wanted to continue running but then her mate howled at her and my beast couldn't resist and stubbornly followed her mate, her Aaron. "What are you doing? don't follow him!" my human side begged the beast but the beast was in control, now, her white fur was sparkling like it was raining sparkles on the land. the beast continued to follow the howl and finally managed to find her mate.

he roared, recognizing the beast from the descriptions in the ancient texts. But the Beast did not respond. It was driven by pure instinct, a creature of destruction. Silas and his warriors fought valiantly, but their weapons seemed to have little effect. The Beast was too strong, too fast. In desperation, Silas sounded the retreat, knowing they had to regroup and find a way to combat this new threat.
