EDWARD'S POV "What do you mean she's missing?" I asked, my voice filled with rage. I banged my fist against the table as I stood to my feet."I'm sorry; I should not have left her to be, but I felt she required privacy; she asked us to leave, and we could not defy her orders." The more explanation they gave, the more anger I felt."You have them locked up until she is found; for all I know, she may be in danger or they may have aided her escape," I ordered as a pack guard came forward and dragged them out."And you, any news yet?" I asked; my patience was running low, and they knew it. She was right around the pack grounds, but I didn't like this. I had enemies all around, but of all days, it certainly should not be tonight."They've combed all the floors, but she is nowhere; the search has been extended out towards the main grounds; she must be somewhere here; they had noticed she wasn't in her room on time; she'll be found soon," Jamal explained.Devastated and worried, I ran my ha
CALIANAS POV"You have always acted like you were too smart; you always placed yourself at the centre of everything mad decisions that were too rash, and now this is what it all comes down to." I trembled as he spoke; the words sounded like they were distant; his voice was deeper and his eyes were darker; it wasn't him anymore; it was his wolf."I'll get Jamal," I answered. My words betrayed me, as I sounded like a broken record. He pulled me by the arm and pinned me against his body. I bit on my lip as his claws elongated. I was in deep sh*t; I knew it.The full moon wasn't at its peak yet; it was no time for him to turn. I didn't know why he was acting rather strange."Edward, you are scaring me," I said as I tried to have myself detached from him. He let out a feral growl that caused my body to shock from fear. He held on to his head and screamed, this time in his human voice.He fell to the floor and rolled about; his bones twisted and broke, making a cracking sound as I stood sti
CALIANA’s POV"caliana!, caliana!!! Caliana, wake up!" A voice called as a hand shook at me. I sat up once more, and I started listening to this orb; it was Jamal.I felt an ache in my heart, something that made me really miss home. I looked around, and there I was, still in the room of the gold-tone pack, still in my nightmare.I looked down at my arm, and the bandage was still there. I winced in pain as it stung, and I felt the need to scratch it as hard as I could."Common now, we don't want to be a problem, do we?" he asked. I looked down at myself and saw how drenched in sweat I was. I bit down on my lip; it was a problem, one of the kind of which I wanted nothing of."Please, let me be. I want to go home or back to my parents. I don't really care where I want to leave here; this pack is far away," I answered as I clenched hard to the hem of my dress."It will be fine, I promise, but first I need you to calm down," Jamal asked me. I didn't understand how he could be so callous ab
CALIANAS POV.I turned in bed as I shook my head from worry, the words etched to the back of my mind as the horrid image formed each moment I closed my eyes shut. It was devastating; I hated it. The more I thought about it, dreamed about it, and envisioned it, the more it tore my part.I didn't know what pained me the most—the knowledge about him having me placed as bait that night or the knowledge that I'll be forever tied to him as a mate."Young mistress, are you in?" A voice called in with a knock alongside. I rolled my eyes; he was probably up to something else once again."Come on in," I answered. I sat up in bed as a lady walked in. I stared at her; she looked nothing like the ladies who had served me ever since I got here."What brings you here?" I asked, but she seemed to be checking me out."I'm your personal maid; the alpha asked me to stay by you at all times; he said some things about you feeling uneasy when surrounded by lots of people, so I'm here on his orders; hencefo
CALIANAS POV."Is that meant to be a joke?" I asked with a frown. I didn't like whatever it was that they were up to; it made me sick, and I had not even started anything yet."Freya?" the guard called, and someone else came in."Perhaps I had made a mistake by dozing off my lady; how about we ask Freya here?" She asked and gestured for the young lady to walk in."Freya, please tell me I'm not going crazy here. The beta came into my room; we spoke for a few seconds, and he walked right back. Out that door where you are, please tell me you saw him as well." I asked, careful in my speech; I didn't want to look like the one who was insane, yet they made me feel nothing other than that."I had not seen the beta today; if anything, Miss Rina had been the only one to move in and out of your room, and he certainly didn't look anything like the beta; although you tried walking out earlier, that was all," Freya explained as well."Can someone tell me, please, that this is nothing but a joke?!
EDWARDS POV."your highness?, your highness?'' Zack called as he pulled me out of my worry."Pardon?" I asked as he mattered to me with an eyelash."I said how many men should be placed on guard duty by the tunnels?" Zack. asked and I felt all the energy in me get drained." Please, do as you wish, okay? I trust you enough Zack, I think I need some air away from all these okay?" I asked and he nodded in response as he headed for the door.I sighed deeply as I rubbed my hands against my eyes, I've been worried about Damian, she remained coupled up in her room all along and that made me feel terrible, she should not have to experience all of those, I was so close to losing her and yet she had not flinched, what could be done I needed to know but nothing came to me, it remained blank, my brain and my mind."Zack?" I called out and he walked in almost immediately. "I need to check on Jamal, and then I'll stop by to check on Caliana as well, stand guard, keep your eyes and ears open, and
EDWARDS POV."Every nook and cranny, every corridor, everywhere else I want it to be full on lockdown, I want everyone searched In and out, if anyone acts suspicious I want them arrested, cuffed and taken to the cell, if any form of resistance is shown I want them shot in the arm, the legs and I do not give a single fuck about what the repercussions I do not care what hierarchy such person is, I want everyone to be inspected thoroughly and no one would be going on break until caliana is found" I ordered."yes sir!" they all chanted in unison, zack walked up to me and gestured that I followed him up to a corner which I did."How bad is it?" I asked, I knew the look on his face, besides he had been my gamma for years, one of the best warriors I had and trained with, I knew what every motion and gesture of his meant."Please tell me this is not a nightmare?" I asked and he nodded with a tap placed on my shoulder."We aren't well in a pretty fucked up dream together and yes it's really ba
CALIANAS POV.I turned in bed, perhaps silk?, no it seemed like…I sniffed into the air, I caught the wife of the scent, it was too much, it held the scent of the earth, I popped my eyes open almost immediately as I saw like tentacle a it lay close to my face, I closed them shut once again, I knew it was a nightmare, it had to be nothing other than a nightmare.I counted down to seven as I popped my eyes open but there it was, still the same, I was laid on barefoot, grass all around me which explained the scent of nature, I felt my knees hurt dame with my arms, the burns on my skin, the scars I got from Edward, it was simply the same…I stood still as I stated the tentacle-like thing in front of me, I squinted my eyes as I caught it in motion but then again I thought it was merely a figment of my imagination.I shook my head, stared at it once more and the movement became more restless, I heard a clicking sound as it came on from behind me, I remained still and shut my eyes closed, I
Emily's pov."What's wrong Kyle you are making me anxious" I speak not knowing what he has in mind.Of course Kyle is a clown who would always find chances to pull my legs and piss me off but something tells me that's not the issue today.He draws nearer to me, I fold my legs to my chest and remain seated on the bed wondering what spooky plan he has in mind."What do you have rolled up your sleeves Kyle trust me I'm not really in the mood" u joke with him although I meant half of my statement but I would never resist a prank from Kyle, Still no response comes from him,I can swear I see beads of sweat on his face which surprises me the most.I've never seen Kyle act in such a manner, although it had not been long since we met but I've felt closer to him than I have ever been with anyone else."Come on out I have something to show you" Kyle says as he speaks up in the most faint tone ever."It's daylight Kyle, there's no shiny stars to show me , I guess that's your idea or plan for you
Luke's povThe first tap and then the second, I wait in my bed with my eyes wide open.I remain stuff not turning to face whoever approached me, my ears tingling as my senses heightened, still I'm unable to catch a scent or a sound different from the constant taps.Something tells me the taos were done on purpose in order to confuse me, the urge to turn hooks me but then I want to take the enemy off guard.I hear my drawer lid open causing me to be more furious, whoever it was surely did have lots of balls.Snuck into an alphas tom and even had the audacity to rummage through my drawer.I wasn't a heavy sleeper and everyone knew it, but above all I couldn't get any rest after I got back from alpha kai's pack.I had spent my time planning defense, re strategizing and consoling the people, I swallow hard hoping the person draws nearer. Deep within me I plan on transferring all aggressions I felt towards the person."Common stop acting all innocent you and I both know that little sleep
Kyle's pov.I ran out of the room as soon as I felt a very odd tension build up between us, I had taken advantage of Emily.Emily is going through the phase which every newly turned wolf goes through and her hormones are really spiked, I knew about it before I approached her.Deep down I knew what I did was wrong but she didn't resist me and I felt no need to back down.Afterall I loved her and I really would love to get married to her if she permits me. Luke asked me to do what needed to be done and I promised to take care of her.I had no mate for years and I did not think a mate would pop out of the sky all of a sudden. I did find her questions childish when she spoke about me finding my mate after she gets married to me.I understood her well but I was more than happy when I realized she didn't reject my offer to get married nor did she bring up her mate, all she did was verify if I was ever going to leave her.I felt guilty as soon as I left the room without waiting for her resp
UNKNOWN POVthe error darkness apart from the screeching of owls and the sounds made by cricket fills the room.Everyone remains seated waiting for someone or something.Suddenly the light gets turned on and everyone remains seated apart from a boy who squints his eyes.Everyone seems to have been used to Having such unannounced brightness as they remain with their same stanceA presence up the arranged podium and they all hum in unison, like some welcome tone or beat." I have little time today but then I apologize for this sudden change in schedule.I had pushed this meeting forward all because I have a very important message to pass across"He stops speaking for a second, his eyes grazing across the crowd as if waiting to catch a glimpse of someone or something."A new member would be Initiated, he's one of us as of today and he would be treated respectfully.He is a very important asset and for some reasons I bet by place him as my second in command, I am not to be questioned an
Emily's pov."I Emily hereby …""Stop Emily" kyle's voice cuts my words short, he runs towards me as he pants harder.Hw must have been running through a long distance which amazes me."Kyle, what are you doing here?" I am unsure of the reason he cut my words short."It's okay, remember our date M how about now?" He asks to pull me by the arm.I watch the transfixed shocked Expression on Luke's face remain the same as I walk past him.Although I wonder why Kyle tan I'm just on cue, however I could not just let Luke bear the pain my parents had causes him years ago.Deep within me I had hoped something happened to cut my rejection short, I still loved Luke but realizing the fact that I made him into the bad guy while my parents literally wrecked his life.The door to my temporary room which was once Kyle's room is opened by Kyle. Without warning or prior notice he pulls me into the room and towards the bed."What were you about to do out there?" Kyle yells while questioning me."Not n
Emily's povI could hear faint steps approach me causing me to rise carefully away from my spot.Hastily I walk towards the little gate I had seen earlier hoping to see Kyle.I stop in my tracks with my face turned right and left, I could feel some sort of happiness and excitement arise within me.I could perceive a scent I had longed for, Luke's scent invading my nostrils causing my legs to move on their own accord.Drawing nearer to the scent I could feel myself becoming restless gradually, there was an odd sensation I felt yet still.it was something I could not explain.I see him speaking with Alpha Kai and it surprises me, I had expected him to remain in the pack afterall I had told him to stay away from me."Luke" I call out to him as soon as Alpha Kai points at me and turns away from me.I could not understand the reason he was here and why he was looking so sober, he looked like he had lost lots of weight, he had dark circles beneath his eyelids.He was far from the smoking hot
Luke's pov.I felt an anger arise within me as Kyle stood talking karung directly at me.Although I had done every possible thing that could be called worse to Emily but she was still my mate, The mate pull is still effective and something tells me Tani would not break off the bond yet I can still feel the insecurity I have with this Kyle of a person."I'm nothing more than a friend she has met in less than a day, but I bet I treated her better than you have done in weeks" I hold my anger in turning my fists into a bump, I feel the rage within me surface any moment from now and I might just explode and beat the crap out of the pompous bastard standing before me.Just on cue the door is opened and alpha Kai walks in hastily before standing by his brother's side."I'm sorry for the delay, may I help you please and I hope my brother here has welcomed you well" Alpha Kai asks with a calm voice and nice voice.I wonder at times If the things I heard about him being cold and gruesome lies
Emily's pov.My feets seemed to be rooted and my neck stiff as my eyes were fixed to the ground."Welcome Emily" kai's voice calls out to me with a strange cough that accompanied it.I felt my eyes move on their own accord Towards Kyle who had a confused look on his face.Just then I realized how I had made such a fool of myself, I had dashed into the room chasing after Jenna who knew what was behind these doors only for me to find the whole family sitting around the wide and long table.Seated by the table were Kai, Jenna as Kyle as well as some other servants that were tending to the food and the family.There were also some people scattered across the room but in an orderly manner which made me squint my eyes.Judging by their manner of dressing I draw a quick conclusion that they just are the security team.I know Jenna had said something about the security being tightened but I had never for once imagined that it would have anything to do with guards standing at the dining hall.
Frightened at who was at the door I disengaged from the kiss, utterly embarrassed of what I had done."Oh I had no idea I was interrupting something '' Alpha Kai says with his hands in the air."No brother you weren't interrupting anything" Kyle liedI felt a pang of pain hit me on hearing Kyle's words, he denied it too quickly without batting an eyelash notwithstanding the fact that I was seated tight before him.He tucks his hands back into his pants and moves away from me towards her brother before glancing at my way.His face is void of emotions as he turns back to face his brother."What brought you here anyways?" Kyle asks, discarding any arising conversation about what had happened between us just now."I had heard you gave up your room for someone that got me curious and just a few seconds later Jenn came whining to me that you won't let her friend be.I had to save the girl from torture but I see you have it all under control" alpha Kai says jokingly causing me to turn my fac
