Iram's POV Deep into the forest, I knew her presence was near.A puddle of hope came surging inside my heart.I'm going to see her. That's the most important thing to do.Not long enough, I heard a rattle from the grass. I followed the movement and quickly turned in that direction. It was too quick that I ran toward it. When I was about to jump on it, I was startled to see what it was.It was a deer. It ran fast saving its life from a predator like me.I have no time to hunt for food. I need to get Annie back.I walked slower and carefully looked at my surroundings. That was when I saw something that completely caught me off-guard.It was Annie Thompson. She was with someone. Her hand was in mid-air. Slowly moving to his face. They were face-to-face. She looked at him lovingly. Her eyes glistened under the sunlight.Something inside me wanted to come out and kill anyone in sight.I clenched my jaw and balled my fists. "Annie..."Annie turned to me with her cold eyes. She smirked and
Omnibus' POV We were headed to the Prima Tierra Pack boundary after Aruna told us of Amarantha's whereabouts.Despite my half-heart sunk at the last scene, I was with Shintara, I still chose to look for Amarantha.Apollo didn't seem to argue with me. He was right after all. Shintara already rejected me. I was no longer her mate. But there was something in me that screamed pain. I knew I was hurting her. She let me take her despite knowing that I am already mated to someone else. She was selfless and trusting. But outside, she showed me a strong woman that no one could shake. She was that kind of woman.But she was also supportive of me. Not because she wanted to see me happy with Amarantha but because she needed to join hands with her as a Chimera Wolf.I stopped in my tracks and stopped Shintara from further walking. I heard a faint sound. The rustling of the bushes."Do you hear that?" I asked her, whispering.Shintara nodded and pointed in a certain direction. "There. I can sense
Iram's POV"I don't know what you're talking about..." I looked away after hearing his question.How did he know that Amarantha is here?No. He didn't know that. The one I sent to the dungeon is not Amarantha but her alleged twin. But I will still not tell him about it. He already left his post long enough for me to understand that he is now a rogue.He chuckled. "You think I'd buy that? You can't hide her from me, Iram. She's my mate!""You came here after leaving your post to ask me this? Are you not afraid that I might punish you for leaving like that?""You think I'll be scared to death about that? You already punished me for killing her! You took away my mate and now you had the nerve to remind me of my post? I don't bloody hell care about being a Gamma. All I care about is her.""Beta Iñigo told me you are mated with his sister. Which is the truth, Omnibus? Are you just playing with me so that you could get what you want and get away with it? Just leave. You are no longer a part
Iram's POV I blinked my eyes many times in front of this human. Her expression reminded me of someone.Her image flashed in my mind.I shook my head and closed my eyes. No. I shouldn't be thinking about her. She's long dead gone.The woman whom I first loved.Inima Wahlberg.My first heartbreak.I immediately pushed the human girl away from me. That was when I realized what I just did.Lorna whimpered in pain. She fell to the ground with her elbow falling first.I stopped my urge to help her. I quickly looked away, balled my fists, and clenched my jaw. "Leave me alone!""M-my king...""Just get the bloody hell out of here!" I snapped.It made her jump. She quickly ran away with her tears brimming down her cheeks."Just fucking stop bothering me. I just don't feel loving again..." I told myself.Tears started to fall down my cheeks."Why does it have to be me, huh?" I asked while looking heavenward. I was asking the Moon Goddess. "Why does it have to be me?!" I shouted at the top of m
Annie's POVIt was me who was brought to my old chamber but when I woke up, I saw the tired and sleeping King Iram on the bedside. crouched there like wanting to watch me the whole night.I didn't know how I ended up coming back to Prima Tierra, but all I know is that when I saw him, I just couldn't turn away. It was the hardest, especially to see him cry like that.I didn't want to assume things, especially the reason behind his tears. I didn't want to assume that it was me. I know certainly that he is still into his past lover. It was too painful to even think of but when he saw me, it felt like he was referring to me. It felt like I owned those adjectives he said. It was so good to hear that I was willing to betray my promise of not coming back to him.I reached my hand to his face. I reluctantly stroke soft and subtle touches on his forehead and cheek."Why are you so stubborn? You should be more concerned about your life. Why do you always oppose what is destined to happen?" I as
Ava's POV "Do you have to tell her that, Ava?" River asked me, a bit worried.It was after Amarantha left the dungeon that River had the chance to speak. She was rather silent the whole time when I felt Amarantha's energy. When I looked at her, I already knew that it was her.But her face is different. She used a body of a werewolf when her soul is made to be a human.The reason I can shift into a white wolf is that my soul is made to be a wolf ever since. But to Amarantha, it is different. We were born as Chimera twins making Amarantha the powerless soul amongst us.But when she came to me, face to face, there was something odd about her. I can feel a wolf inside of her. I asked River about it. Was it possible that the wolf of the former owner of the vessel stayed inside that body?River shook her head. "It is impossible, Ava. The moment the soul is dead so is the wolf. We are born together. If one dies, then the other will face the same fate. In Amarantha's case, I think that wolf
Ava's POV"So, she's alive, huh?" Shintara arched her eyebrow at my news, then smirked. "How annoying...""Yeah, I know how you feel. You wanted us dead, so it's only natural that you think of this way."She scoffed and dropped her arms beside her torso. "Do I really look like I hate the two of you so much?"I shrugged. "You have all the reason. You're his former mate.""Oh, well, thanks a lot for reminding me!" She rolled her eyes and sighed. "You must be thrilled that I brought him here..." she muttered."Do I look like I'm happy?" I rolled my eyes and sighed. "I already know that he's here. Even before I came to this place. It was hard for me to finally come back after what they did to me and Amarantha.""How did you know?""I can see the future. Some future..." I revealed. It was the truth. Even before I met Ora in Scottland, I had several flashes of images. It was all about Amarantha and Omnibus.Inside that sudden trance, I saw something alarming. But it showed me Amarantha's ne
Omnibus' POV"Mark you? Are you nuts?!"Shintara sighed and rolled her eyes. She was reluctant to say something. She massaged her temples and faced me once again. "It is necessary. Whether you like it or not, you need to do this. If not..." She breathed in exasperation. "It'll be too late for Amarantha to survive," she revealed."Where is she?""I told you already! She already escaped the pack. But she's in pain. She knows what happened to us. It's draining her strength even more. Are you willing to sacrifice her strength instead of helping her?""Damn it, Shintara! This is not the right time to do this. We need to find her.""I am dead serious, Omnibus!" she snapped. "Do you think I wanted this to happen? I am gravely jealous right now because of her sacrifice and I swear I would want to be selfish but I can't. I can't let her be in pain when I know it is because of me!" Her tears started to pour out of her eyes. She sobbed silently in front of me.I could feel her pain somehow. But
