603RD POV.The woods are in disturbance with the heavy turbulence being released by the two strong wolves in them. Their hastened paces cut weeded paths within the woods.Kade is almost catching up with the attacker. His brows furrow in response to his thoughts and anticipation in eagerness to know the reason behind this attacker, attacking Kaya, only when she is left alone in the room. He has sniffed the attacker, and he doesn’t know his scent, which means whoever hired him must have done that for a specific reason; they must have traveled far away from their kingdom just to hire this assassin.Kade’s now rhymes with the assassin, and brutally, he cuts through the distance between them, his body biting past the woods till he catches the assassin, but when they lose their momentum into the air, his hold on the assassin is released.They tumble continuously in the air at the loss of stamina, both their bodies hitting hard against the woods. As soon as they stop, Kade hurries up and pr
61Kaya’s POV.Once again, I’m standing in front of the mirror with my being still captured in this hell-scape by these monsters. My hatred for them hasn’t lessened, although situation may have for me.Perhaps because of the pregnancy, the triplets have actually lessened the amount of the work they give me. They still threaten me and it sends chills down my spine, but then, they allow me some hint of peace.The only thing that has changed about me however is my body. My limbs have become plump, and the baby is growing quite fast than my imagination could have assimilate. I have no idea why but perhaps because they are hybrids, it might explain the reason as to why.I slip into a flip-flops after I have worn a flaring gown that streams down my body. I’m not wearing such gown to conceal my stomach as the whole kingdom has already gotten to know the supposedly secret after what happened with the leaders of the other five packs, but because of convenience.There’s a knock on the door whic
62Kaya’s POV.It is late in the night, and I am still contemplating whether I should go to the fountain or not. “I don’t trust that man.” I say to myself as though I was talking to someone. I actually don’t know what to do at this point, because there’s a conflict inside me.As much as a part of me wants to go, the other one doesn’t trust the man. He is a confusion to my senses as a witch. I can smell magic on him, but as well, I know he’s not a wizard or anything relating to a mage. He’s an ordinary wolf in his true form, so it is indeed conflicting.The moon is already shining bright and the wind is howling with cold every now and then. With every puff of the breeze is a chilling sensation. I am at the balcony and although, I am wearing a shirt made with wolf’s fur, I can still feel the little bit of cold seeping in. With the glove in my hands, I rub my hands together and blow out a smoke of cold air through my breath.“Well, that man doesn’t seem like he’d hurt me anyway.”I mean,
63Kaya’s POV.“Some dark ages ago, when the powers of magic still rule the world, it is believed that everything is born of balance but everything is not as it seems. There is always darkness. I faced it. I was a pup when I was captured by witches. They raised me with magic till I grow up, feeding it into my energy. They said it was an experiment. An experiment to build a hybrid without it being created by the Creator himself. They wanted to shift a balance, on the believe of a betterment. It turned me. I became this. I am still a wolf but with the presence of a wolf.”As he’s telling me this and I pity with him because I can only imagine the pains you pass through when another specie captures you to experiment on you when they have not understand what your creation is about. They try to alter your very being, the way your life should be and it hurts so much. I have passed through such event and I am in fact still passing through, so as he explains, I understand his pain.“I’m sorry,
64Kaya’s POV.“Why am I not surprised to see you walking in secrecy?” Emilie begins as she stops right in front of me. I am praying she would just insult me and let me go, that nothing more is to happen.There’s a smirk on her face as she adds more while I lower my gaze, realizing that I was staring too long. “Oh, my bad. You’re a witch. Isn’t this the time people like you love, as it’s the best time to do all the evil in the world?”Why would she be accusing me of such when she knows that I have no powers?I exhale softly. “There must have been a mistake, your highness. I had been called by Commander Chester, nothing more.”“And why would Chester be in need of such a slave like you?” When she asks that, there was a change in her tone. It was as though she is troubled when I mentioned Chester’s name.I’m stealing glances at her to read her expression, my mind lurking backwards to the story Chester told me about her, when she also snaps her eyes back down at me and I clear my throat a
653RD POV.The double handled door opens with haste with the reveal of Kade, Kieran, and Kyle entering into the room.“My Lords, this is not a play anymore. They are serious. They are really going to attack.”“And how could you have been so feeble with such information that everyone in the kingdom has gotten to know?” Kieran is the first to talk, bashing his words at Chester, who’s at the other end of the strategic table.He bows his head lowly as he defends him, “My apologies, sire but I’m not sure. Perhaps not only I have a bird in our enemies post.”Kieran wants to respond back but Kade waves his hand at him. “Now, what are we up to? How many men do we have available? How can we meet up with counts before the ambush?” Kade turns to his brothers. “Since they want to be dirty, I guess the knight’s code doesn’t count anymore then, does it?”He’s asking from Kieran who shakes his head. “Not at all.” Afterwards, Kieran joins Chester along with the other two commanders to begin the plan
66Kaya’s POV.My sight opens to the front door of a house, and something about it is familiar. The skin of my forehead is still crinkling, trying to recall where this memory is from when gravity changes course and everything swiftly shifts over my vision.It feels just like when you’re opening a book so fast that you cannot even see the content well. I could feel the change in the air hitting my face and sprawling my hair around. Although my heart rate is calm, because wherever I am right now doesn’t release any eerie feelings, I am alert for anything out of the ordinary. Too much out of the ordinary, I should say.The flipping stops once again, and this time around, I’m in front of another house. I remember this place clearly. This is where we used to live together as a family before the villagers turned against us by working with the werewolves just for their own gain. From here did we move to the cottage, finally cutting ourselves off from the outside out of fear of being destroye
Kaya’s POV.As the woman steps in, her heels break the wooden door even more. It keeps leaving a crunchy sound, and each time, my heart skips a beat.There’s a devilish smile on her face as her eyes set on me. She has no weapon on her, but her claws are very sharp, giving me a hint that she must be a she-wolf from the five neighboring packs who hate the triplets.Her eyes are a shade of hazel, bright and glowing, with a freckle of crimson red. She must have the powers of an alpha for her eyes to glow such a shade of light. Her jet black hair is packed into a ponytail and braided to rest in front of her left shoulder. She’s staring at me through her lashes, leaving a frightened feeling with each step she takes forward.Her sandy skin looks thick, as though she’s gone through hell of training to be able to get to where she is. She looks fierce, and her stance is firm.“Hello, Kaya.” Her accent is one I can’t place.My eyes widen at the realization of who she is. I remember that voice. S
