||Ahana|| Scared. Anxious. Troubled. I stood dumbfounded in front of Avi and Riya in complete silence as I can't think of anything that could make her feel better. Avi had already texted me that she is now aware of the sin that I had committed if he hadn't run away and I hadn't pulled Elijah, assuming it was him, and kissed him instead with such a deadly passion. Now I can't even look at him, duh because I have done something unusual that he wasn't even wanting from his new patient. You can't see, Ahana remember? Clearing my throat, I tried to focus to infer which side Riya is standing on and stepped closer to reach out to her but I was harshly shoved back and was about to fall but someone held me tightly in manly strong arms because his biceps were tickling my waist, letting me know it's a man with a muscled giant body which gave me certain goosebumps. "You are such a bitch, Ann. How the fuck do you think you can explain that you were going to kiss my fiance?" The anger was d
AHANA=>>>A big crowd gathered in the square, people screamed with rage as their anger is focused on a still empty pillar.After a while, some girl was brought to the center. Her hands were tied behind her back, and the rope cut into her skin. Blood was dripping down from her wrists, but the witch's face showed indifference as if it didn't concern her.Noticing the accused arriving, the crowd roared and swore. Hatred was growing among the masses.The fire was already lit, enveloping the girl's body in its raging flames. The girl was silent, didn't scream in pain, and looked in the crowd up until the fire started scorching her legs.She finally screamed, and her heartbreaking scream pierced everyone's ears to the bone, it held so much power that the clouds started rambling even louder than before as if submitting to her pain.Her burning lips only whispered a name that was riding through her mind and heart."Zia"I gasped, looked around to understand what was that, and heave a deep sig
||Ajax||I was moving through the woods hastily as soon as I heard about Lavender's disappearance and felt useless for being unable to protect her when she needed me the most I wasn't with her. My paws hastily hit the muddy ground as I overpowered my pack wolves with my authority.We all were linked together, trying to find my niece as soon as possible since it's already been a day since she has been missing and my mind is filling with only worse possibilities.What if the spirits have her and she won't return to us?No, she will return to us neither what will I tell my sister that her brother couldn't even protect his niece, that he is a failure as both Alpha and uncle?"Alpha, we can smell something," Aspen informed as he paces ahead of me.We all pick up on the scent and strode toward the lake and froze at the sight of a young girl floating in midair nearby the lake. The sight horrified me so I quickly jumped up to change into my human form and peered closely at her to make sure sh
||Elijah||Sobbing, A eighth years old version of me was crawling into the corner of my room, trying not to be scared, not to be weak but I can't help it and started shivering terribly."Elijah"I flinched hearing this voice, my mind surveying around to find a way out but I couldn't so, I squinted further into the corner but the wall was failing to suppress me and I was uncovered by him.I covered my ears, not wishing to hear the footsteps approaching me as they were enough to unnerve me but soon I was yanked up, my tiny body meeting a strong one and then I dared to look into his icy eyes which were neutral and had an only disgust in them."Didn't I tell you to turn, Elijah?" His left hand squeezed my face as the other lifted my body into the air.I was scared, my whole body was sweating as I was shivering - wishing to get free but couldn't which brought tears of misery to my eyes. I couldn't understand just, why is he treating me like this?What did I do to deserve this? Why me? I do
||Ahana||My heart was throwing back and forth as my chest was heaving up and down because Ajax's breath was fanning against my neck, causing me to squirm in my place but then I felt his weight getting harsher on me as if he has passed out or something which was slowly unsettling my heart.I was now inefficient to stand barely as my legs were wobbling and I was almost about to fall but didn't want to since he needed help then a hand supported us, a powerful arm wrapping around me, assisting me in holding this iceberg."Ajax has passed out, Ms Ahana" I listen to his voice but was unable to recognise him.But soon the weight of this iceberg left my body and now I could breathe properly."I am Aspen Valentine," He introduces himself while tapping on my hand.Hearing his name, I remembered Elijah has told me about him, that he's the youngest brother of him and now listening to his voice seems so fresh like floating water which is peaceful and remarkable at the same time.I didn't underst
||Elijah||Exhausted, I went back to my cabin and collapsed on the bed thinking about what happened back in the woods because there is no way, I am finding my wolf at this stage of my life.Staring at the ceiling, my mind was stressed with questions but had no answer I felt something inside of me today and my body was feeling an invisible warmth, a different feeling surging through my soul almost like something is calling for me.This has never happened to me ever before so I don't understand what it means to me."Elijah, are you inside?" A knock at the door disturbed my thoughts.I quickly went to answer and locked my gaze with Aspen who is continuously sighing."You need to examine, Lavender" His expression was saying it all that something is off about her.Nodding, I went with him and soon reached Evelyn's room where I noticed she is worriedly looking at her daughter who is just lying on the bed and staring up at the ceiling with her dilated eyes as if contacting someone when in re
||Ahana||Stillness disseminated around the dark forest that wasn't showing any signs of life but somewhere in the darkest corners of the woods, a light was twinkling and growing larger with time, and then a beautiful woman emerged from the darkness with a mesmerizing smile appearing over her petal-like lips that were murmuring something which wasn't audible but something waked inside of me as I just gasped in air.My eyes opened wide to stare at some greenery beneath me."Where am I?"I am confused because the last time I can remember I was in the car with Elijah.My eyes shifted beside me were a blurry figure of a man squatting cross-legged with his back leaning against the ground. His eyes must be eyeing the sunset and then it hits me, it's almost evening and here I have no clue what happened in the past hours except something injecting my neck.And before that, how am I able to sense and feel everything, my senses have become sharper than before I can even infer the moment, the ma
||Ajax||I was throwing one punch after another as I am unable to grasp my anger which is boiling in my veins to murder someone but having no evidence is stopping me from doing anything."Ajax, please calm down," Aspen's advice irked my sour mood more as I hit the punching bag more intensely.Then there was a silence as I rest my head against it and inhaled sharply, my sweaty body oozing heat and making me feel warmer."I need to tell you something" Aspen sighed trying to heave my attention.My eyes lift to meet his worried ones as I noticed how apprehensive he is looking as if wasn't able to relax past these hours and something seriously is messing with his peace."Bark then," I joked but his expressions didn't change a bit.He patted the remaining space beside him as he was sitting on the couch. I voluntarily did what he was asking. We both were silent for a few seconds but then he breaks the silence with his surprisingly warm tone that I wasn't expecting as he always behaves seriou
|| Ahana|| The strong smell of cold mint hits my nostrils strongly, conferring me the presence of King Nicholas who is closer than I can expect him to be. We'll meet soon until then I want you to trust yourself, it's a goodbye for now. His voice again unnerves my head and I sighed heavily, slowly reaching the grounds I think, to search for him as I could no longer feel him. "Ahana?" I halted after hearing Elijah's voice, he instantly reached me I could hear his footsteps and now he was just behind me. "You okay?" He asked me in his concerned laced tone that thawed my heart but at the same time, it wasn't enough as I wanted more comfort than he could provide me. I am not sure of anything from this moment as everything is damn so complicated yet exemplary at the moment, the more I think of it the more I feel connected to it, werewolves, spirits, and everything supernatural fascinates me. I am not scared instead I want to know everything including the truth about myself. Nicholas
||Ahana||It was all hazy, vision blurred but soon everything cleared as I discerned myself sitting on the porch stairs but then my eyes expanded and were shocked to glimpse that I was ten years old not twenty-one, my body was lean, hands skinny yet attractive which reminded me of my younger self yet confused me as I could see everything and had no idea how?Is this one of my visions? No, it seems more like a memory."Ann!"I turned my head to see my mom staring at me with an annoyed look on her face as her finger raised to gesture at something behind me."Take him on a walk, now" My eyes flickered at our family dog who was wiggling his tail, "So stop sulking on the stairs as it's almost time for your training, so be fast"I couldn't help but pout at her and stomp my feet before taking dodo with me towards the garden but to my curiosity, I decided to walk further and entered the woods, the stillness of my surroundings was giving me nightmares, my small feet staggering while walking bu
|| Ajax ||It was like my breathing stopped the moment she collapsed on the ground, completely paled and weary. She was shivering as well as her lips were trembling which contorted my heart and wasting no time, I swept her into my arms and ran inside the bedroom.Laying her gently on the bed, I moved away and looked at Elijah who was anxiously looking at her and then glared at me."It's your fault, Ajax"I raised an eyebrow at him, slightly taken by his accusation as he had never talked to me in this tone before."What are you saying?"I rolled my eyes, paying no attention to him as she needed me.I cupped her burning cheek and felt her shudder but soon she relaxed under my warm touch and nuzzled against my palm like a pup that withered my heart in ecstasy."You decided to come here, to leave her alone in the pack just because you wanted to keep a close eye on King Nicholas who didn't do anything wrong by telling her the truth about our existence Still you doubt him"My eyes turned qu
|| Aspen || I returned to the pack after the heated argument after dropping that human girl to her rightful owner. Honestly, I had no personal problems with her as she genuinely deserves respect and regard for being badass for kicking Flair's attitude ass. Still, the sad reality is that she's going to be our Luna sooner or later and it'll be a matter of time when she'll rule us. When I passed the garden, I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I am the coldest of all in the pack, and never showed any affection to anyone except my siblings. "Beta, everything is going well with the ongoing preparation of the mating ceremony" "Okay" I didn't even look at the omega in front of me as I am not used to making any talks and as I am a private person except for the pack matters or it's about our Alpha who is also my lovely big brother Ajax. With a calm gesture, I dismissed him and went inside my den - to see him precisely. When the door is pushed open by me, I saw him curled like a ball and
|| Ahana ||It has been a week since I returned, a week since I had shared an intimate kiss with Elijah and received an unexpected kiss from Ajax.I'm missing them both, don't know why but I feel like there's something wrong since I haven't heard from any of them. They didn't even bother to see me which is unsettling me more.What's wrong with me? I sincerely think caring for Elijah is acceptable but Ajax? Why do I even care for him? He is a narcissistic asshole who deserves my hate not care..."Ann?"I blinked my eyes when I heard a finger-snapping in front of me and realised that I was zoned out."Is something wrong?"I shook my head, not even bothering to answer her and was about to leave when I was unexpectedly shoved to the ground and felt an immense pain driving through my back to my whole body.That hurts...I tried to get up but two hands pressed me to the ground again which made me groan in pain."That hurt, uhh"I heard a chuckle but couldn't defer who is she except for her
|| Ajax ||Something was burning inside me, my entire body was fuming with anger but subsiding it, I entered the gym and started running on a treadmill, not caring about my wounds and later quit it."You are hurt, Ajax"I turned to face Flair who is looking annoyed as she was rolling her eyes at me."I can see that"I grumbled, walking towards the window to take a deep breath of fresh air because I am feeling suffocated and lonely.A part of me is unable to understand these strange feelings and another part of me knew what I was feeling but wasn't able to describe it which is making me more anxious than before.I wanted to stay by her side, to let her know that I cared for her that was the sole reason I accepted the duel but couldn't since I can't be selfish when it's about Elijah, he has always been precious to me and can't snatch his happiness when he deserves everything he wishes for and I'll do in everything in my grasp to give him what he wants."Ajax, you have changed"Her voice
||Elijah||The weather was awfully bad, the clouds were clattering wildly as if a storm is waiting for us but then my thoughts were interrupted by the screeching sound of the cars.My eyes flickered over at Ajax who opened the back door of the car and cradled the girl I was worried about, in his arms protectively before making his way inside without giving a glance which upset me but I suppressed it and went inside after them.Fresh blood was oozing out of Ajax's bicep but he didn't care at all like his eyes were at her, solely worried for her as she remained sleepy in the cage of his arms.Aspen and I joined him in the room where he gently lied her down on the bed and turned to finally look at me.His eyes were blank when looked at me, it felt like his soul has left his body which concerned me but I remained quiet as Aspen was giving a side glance to not ruin it."She's all yours"That was all he said before brushing past me, leaving me dumbfounded.My eyes met Aspen who was silently
||Ahana||I don't know why I am feeling this irritated with him when I was supposed to be glad that he doesn't want me to do anything with him as he can not be ever that man whom I wished to have in my life but he is the one who gives me butterflies whenever he's near me.Why can't I just stop feeling like this and now my self-respect is binding me not to accept my feelings for him?And my life has turned into a maze since I entered this town where I have started questioning my existence because I can feel that I am no longer a human, not even that girl who used to cry about being blind and now not even scared of living among supernatural beings.And Elijah, what about him? Where do my feelings stand for him and where does Ajax stand in my life?Uggh!I am already frustrated for not having these answers and now these illicit sensations towards Ajax are making it hard for me to resist him, even being sightless isn't helping me in ignoring him."Ahana"The King's voice startled me and I
||Ajax||"I wish you lose"Her wish shattered something inside me, making me feel like a pathetic being who just lost something precious that he never wishes to lose in the first place.Her eyes were blank, they were only reflecting her hate towards me that I deserved but at the same time, I wanted her affection but lost it, the moment I said, I don't want her.She left, lending me a disappointed look. Her boldness is another asset of her character that I have been admiring since I met her while pretending that I don't care.Remember, Ajax you're doing this for your brother...With determination, I left and almost moved into someone but balanced myself, and then my eyes locked with icy white ones which were continuously blazing at me."Greetings, Alpha Ajax"King Nicholas Night's lips curved into a mischievous smile as he stares down at me with disdain that I have never witnessed in anyone's eyes before him."Your Grace"I bowed my head in respect and averted my gaze off him to not gi
