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
||Elijah||Ahana was staring at me as her eyes were doubting me with a hint of fear in them as if she assumes I am capable of hurting her when I can't even turn into a wolf. When my whole life, I have carried this burden of being a pathetic excuse of being the heir of Valentine's family, and last, when I was outcasted from the same family as I couldn't prove my worth.Can she understand my pain? Can she understand what I have been through all these years? Can she endure the burden of my sufferings?"Elijah?"Her soft hand ran against my cheek causing me to flinch back as she was stirring those indecent feelings inside of me."We should leave as it's getting dark, Ahana" I retorted in a grim tone.But she just shook her head, being the stubborn girl she is, and sat on the ground while squatting her legs together."I won't leave this place until you answer me," She said determined which brought a smile to my lips.I wanted to tell her everything about me, about my family and werewolves
