Chapter 83Declan’s POVI couldn’t stop thinking about Kendal all day long.I was annoyed and at the same time, I had a strong feeling that I merely overreacted. I felt bad for judging her that quickly even if I’d promised her I’d never leave her.But I still saw no reason why someone she had no relationship with whatsoever would try to implicate her.I sank into my chair and buried my palm and pondered hard on what to do next. Just then the door knob turned and Olivia strolled in.I scoffed at seeing her because now wasn’t the right time for anyone to try and get on my nerves.“What do you want?” I scoffed with a frown plastered on my face.“What do you mean what do I want? I saw the frown on your face and I wanted to check up on you. I don’t think that’s a bad thing to do.” She whimpered with a fake countenance plastered on her face.I wasn’t even in the mood for any of this to be frank. I was perplexed and I was too tired to even reply to anything she was saying.I knew she was tr
Chapter 84Kendall’s POV As I walked through the forest which was dark and desolate, a lot of thoughts crowded my mind. I knew I was so bothered and things were happening too fast.I felt choked and sad and I couldn’t hide the disappointment of not meeting my mom and my sister here. I was so eager to run to her and tell her about how quickly Declan switched up on me.I was offended that they made such a decision to go and live with humans and they didn’t think it was necessary to tell me about it.I was all alone and I needed to find my answers all by myself. Everyone was away from me and those that were supposed to be by my side turned on me already.My head ached badly as I rubbed my stomach gently. My baby was the reason I was going to make sure I made it out of this.Life was so unfair and unpredictable at times, just a few days back I was making arrangements for the declaration of my pregnancy.It was among the arrangements that Declan came to me with the accusations he didn’t g
Chapter 85Declan’s POV“Find her!! Find her!!” I yelled angrily at the guard beside me with so much fury in my eyes.“They are on it, they are going to find her as soon as possible, we just need some time and she’ll be brought before you…”Everything he was saying just sounded like he was merely blabbing to me.How stupid were my so-called guards? How useless could they be?These are the people who are supposed to protect me when they can’t even make sure someone stays in a cell. What if it was someone who could kill me or worse? That’s the same way they’ll have let the person loose?They were so incompetent and I wasn’t going to let them off this hook that easily.“If you haven’t found her then tell me why are you here?” I snapped at him.“Just to let you know we are not it and we are not sleeping on your order. She has gotten quite far before they went after her, the only way they are getting aid is through her scent.”Although the guard was trying to be polite and picked his words
Chapter 86Kendall’s POV I woke up looking around trying to remember where I Exactly I was. I looked around and the surroundings weren’t exactly one I remember.After pondering hard I finally remembered everything that happened last night. How I met the man, how I was chased, and how he helped me till I slept off.I stood up and looked around, but he was nowhere to be found. Was he gone already? I thought he said something about wanting to be part of my journey, was that a lie too?I didn’t even know why I trusted him to begin with, he didn’t tell me anything about himself, and exactly did he find me. Popping out from nowhere was so random!He didn’t even mention his name and I followed him all the way here and even spent the night?What was wrong with me? I rubbed my stomach gently and I sighed in relief when I felt my baby kick.That was the only assurance and motivation that I needed.I started pondering if I made a very big mistake by following a strange man all the way here.Why
Chapter 87Kendall’s POVA Safe EscapeRaymond and I continued walking through the vast land. It was really scary and I was glad that I wasn’t walking on my own. I made sure I made no noise as we walked and Raymond did the same. We were hearing squeals from some unknown and unseen creatures but we weren’t seeing them. I felt like I was going to die anytime soon.Suddenly, Raymond turned to look at me and said with a low voice,“We are almost out of this land to just continue being slonwt and quiet.”I nodded my head in response, afraid to speak as I feared that my voice could wake up or attract the creatures. After working for a couple more minutes, we got out of the vast land and I heaved a sigh of relief.“That’s the most scared I’ve ever been in my life. I have never experienced such scary moment,” I said.A smile appeared on Raymond’s face and that was the first time I’ve seen him smile since we began this journey.“You did well. But thankfully we are out of that region,” he repli
Chapter 88Kendall’s POVJourney Alone“Give me a minute,” Raymond said.I watched him drop the bags he was holding on the floor. You got on one knee and began to remade through the bags. Finally, he brought out a pocket knife from the bag and my eyes widened in shock.“A pocket knife? What do you need the pocket knife for?” I asked, starting to get scared.A probably noticed the fear on my face and then said,“I am not going to harm you with this pocket knife. I need it for the peace offering.”I was still confused by what he meant by that before I saw him slash his hand with the pocket knife. A gasp immediately escaped from my lips as I watched the blood gather in his palms.“Why did you do that?” I yelled.“I told you I needed to make a peace offering for your next step of the journey,” he replied.“And that requires you slashing your hand?” I asked.“Yes, I am using a small drop of my blood to make the piece offering for your safety as you journey through the rest of the land on y
Chapter 89Declan’s POV I sank into the chair in my study, the rich aroma of wine swirling around me like a comforting embrace.Deep in thought, I picked up a glass of wine and emptied it in a single gulp.I had a lot on my mind, the most occurring one sharing a link with Kendall. Her actions got to me.I couldn’t shake the disbelief that weighed heavy on my heart. Kendall’s actions had left me reeling, questioning everything I thought I knew.How could she betray me like this? After all the time we’d spent together, shared moments, and exchanged secrets, I believed we were building something solid.I thought there was something, I thought we were finally building something but I guess she was lying all along.I knew what I did was rational and selfish and I shouldn’t have locked her up that fast but at the same time she should try to see where I was coming from.I was just trying to be sure, I was eventually going to come back to my senses after calming down and apologize to her but
Chapter 90Kendall’s POV I stared blankly as he made a blood oath in front of me.I was scared as I retorted at the sight of someone causing harm to themselves.He turned and smiled at me, still in shock, I maintained a very safe distance from him:“You don’t have anything to be afraid of, you can go and soon you’ll get to your destination.”On the one hand, I was happy I was going forward with my money but the sights which I saw almost made me change my mind.The thought that I might not make it to the human world alive, that I might get devoured by a creature or worse just die on the way.“Why are you hesitant? Don’t you want to continue your journey?” He inquired.I paused for a while because honestly I also didn’t know what I wanted to do. I didn’t know if it was wise for me to press on but where else could I go?The only family I had was the one I was trying desperately to meet. If I stopped now and continued the journey back home, where exactly was home?Declan might have my h
