My hands trembled as I kept them wrapped around him, holding him to myself tightly like that would heal him and take all the pain away. If I could share in his pain, I definitely would. I remained in that position until my body went numb. Occasionally, I would check to see if he was still breathin
FLASHBACK Lila "She brought you here, didn't she?" Matilda turned, asking me. I only frowned at her, giving her no response. She definitely knew that my mother brought me here. Why would she ask then? "Seeing that I wasn't going to give her a response, she spoke further, "There's a ritual tha
"Why are you telling me this? If you didn't want anyone disrupting the ritual, then why tell me all of this?" I move toward her. "Maybe I am different from your mother. Your blood is the most important thing needed for the ritual so as you can see, I have no reason not to want you here." She answer
Miguel "What do you mean by that?" Lila asked, coming closer to me and squatting to my level. For some moment before she squatted, I saw her mother in her. They were quite similar in looks. It terrified me that when I looked at the person I loved, I saw the person that was about to destroy all th
Writer's POV Matilda smiled with satisfaction, staring at the progress she had made. Now that the one playing the key role in the ritual was gone, there wasn't much for her to do any longer. She heard the door creak open and she knew it was none other than Abigail. They were the only ones who eve
Lila "I failed everyone." I fell on my knees, staring at nothing in particular. Tears welled up in my eyes when I realized what I had done. When I left, I didn't just hurt Miguel, I didn't just hurt myself or disappoint my father, I had put absolutely everyone in danger, even my mother. I saw th
He leaned closer and whispered into my ears, "And you're still as blindingly beautiful as ever, my true mate." "But no matter how beautiful I would ever be, you would always be much more beautiful." That wasn't supposed to be a joke, it was the absolute truth. I could easily fit into the horrible
Lila My joy knew no bounds as I continued to touch the carvings on the rock. Miguel couldn't properly comprehend what was going on but I could tell that he wasn't bothered, not with how my mood had gotten more life. "I need something really thick that I can write with." I said out loud when I spot
Lila Two Week After the War "How do you feel?" Miguel asked. I sighed, turning over so that my face was against his chest as I drew invincible circles on his abs, my eyes shut, feeling nothing buy his hard hand on my bare skin. "I feel like it might take eternity before I recover. I lost a lot o
"I'll kill you!" Lila yelled, preparing to use the same dagger with which Matilda had stabbed her mother, to stab her. Just then, she felt Miguel's warm hand on her shoulder. "I think your mother would be more proud if you did this the right way." He said to her. Her hands stopped midway, a tear
Writer's POV Matilda regained her balance and launched at Abigail. "I'll make sure you pay for tricking me!" She screamed, stabbing Abigail right in the back. Lila watched as the dagger went through her mother. Tears filled her eyes as the witch took it out. Blood spilled on the floor. Lila caugh
Soon enough, the Alpha King was nothing more than the witch's puppet. "Kill them all." She repeated and he moved to act just like he had been told to. He took out his claws, swinging it at anyone in his way. "I hope you enjoy this after you've known what you did." She laughed before returning int
Writer's POV "Remember to call for backup when you need to. There'll be warriors around for that." Miguel said to them as he rounded up. "We've lost too many pack members already. No matter what happens, we don't retreat, we do not surrender, not until we have gotten revenge for our dead pack memb
"Can I come in?" He asked, that was when she realized that she had left him standing outside for far too long. "Uhmmm sure, of course." She opened the door and gestured for him to come in. "Were you resting, I'm sorry for interrupting." He turned around and folded his hands behind him. "I could l
Writer's POV Lila and her mother returned to the pack just in time for another meeting. They took their seat, trying to act as normal as they could to avoid suspicions. "Anyone with another plan better than the Luna's?" Miguel asked and the room fell silent. Not even the Alpha King had a better
Writer's POV Lila had suggested that they didn't wait to Matilda to attack instead, they attacked. It was a risky decision but it was the best chance they had at Matilda. She wouldn't expect their attack giving them an advantage over her. "I know that it sounded dangerous but when you thought ab
Writer's POV "Lila?!" Miguel screamed her name as he made his way across the river, past the waterfall. "Lila!" He called her even louder, making his way into the main room. When he eventually got in, he met Lila and her mother hugging each other. He was startled however, seeing the love in Lila
