Klaus' POV:After getting some useful information from Flora, I headed out to the equipment room to check.The skylight was very high from the floor.My heart sank when I estimated the height.If Davina jumped from here, she would have undoubtedly gotten injured.I could see footprints and dried bloodstains on the ground.I followed the trace, and it led me to the forbidden forest.The place was eerily silent, and I didn't see anyone on the way.My stomach began to churn with anxiety and unease.The bloodstains disappeared before the forbidden forest.Just then, the sun began to sink into the mountains, and the mist grew thicker, enveloping the trees and mountains."I didn't think Davina would have entered the forbidden forest.There are no footprints here," my wolf, Omar, said worriedly.However, that was precisely why I grew suspicious.The traces had disappeared all of a sudden, which seemed to worry me."The footprints tell that Davina has run all the way here in a mess." I squatted an
Davina's POV:A blush flamed my cheeks as I let Klaus Dress me.If I hadn't begged him to stop, he wouldn't have let go of me.It was all my fault; I flirted with him and ignited his desire.Now, I was weak in my knees; my legs refused to carry the weight of my body.The rain grew heavier, and water began to accumulate in the pit."Let's get out of here as soon as possible.Otherwise, we will get drowned in water," I said to Rufus.Klaus Nodded and picked me in his arms."Let's go up first.""No.I can walk by myself." I gently patted his arm, gesturing for him to put me down."Don't you want me to hold you in my arms?" Klaus Frowned in disagreement."It'll be faster if I carry you. You can barely stand still now."Klaus seemed overbearing and clingy for the first time.I looked at him helplessly."I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the pit if you hold me in your arms." Klaus looked up, examining the height of the pit."With the springing ability of the werewolf, I'll effortlessly
To ensure that I didn’t alert the clowns, I made a hushing sound as soon as I entered the room. The kids caught a whiff of my scent and quietened down.“Sir, why did you come here again? What are those bad people doing next door? They’re making so much noise. Are they trying to capture you?” the little girl who had beautiful blue eyes asked in a curious voice.“Yes. I’m in some trouble now, but it is nothing to worry about. They may come inside and ask you if you’ve seen me. Just tell them that you haven’t, got it?” I said as I shut the door.“Okay.” The little girl vigorously nodded her head, and then turned her attention back to the food I had brought them“Good girl,” I said in a comforting voice.At this time, the other children next to her also began to chime in.“None of us will tell them we’ve seen you.”“We won’t say anything.” They chorused in sweet but firm voices. “Aren’t you all scared?” My spirits sank a little. They were just kids. Why did they have to endure such terrib
The Little Prince (Klaus’ POV)I soothed Arron until he calmed down. I then picked him up and we continued on our way. My heart prickled with fear and worry. The things that Arron had just said matched the pink-masked clown’s claims. I needed to find Crystal as soon as possible.“No, you’re going the in the wrong direction. This isn’t the way to Mommy!” Arron was slapping my arm frantically in a bid to make me stop. He twisted his tiny body and pointed in another direction. “It’s that way. We need to go there to save Mommy.”I blinked at him in a mix of surprise and bafflement. “How do you even know where she is? Weren’t you unconscious just now?’Arron scrunched up his adorable brows. “I don’t know how to explain it, but I just know. I’ve always had some telepathic abilities, ever since I was a baby. I can just tell. Maybe it’s because Mommy and I are connected.”I nodded, even as I processed this new information. Arron seemed to possess a keen sense of connection to his surroundings
A Horrible Ceremony (Davina’s POV)I struggled and cursed, repeatedly using my strength to free myself, but I failed miserably. Lee extended his f*ingers to pinch my lips and whispered in my ear, “Be quiet. If you keep being noisy, I will have to cut your tongue off.” I shot him a murderous glare.Lee placed his palm over my eyes and sighed. “Don’t look at me like that, or I’ll want to scoop out your gorgeous eyes and make them a specimen.”I shivered slightly, but finally managed to restrain my anger and shut up.“Good girl.” Lee gave me a satisfied smile. Then he dipped his index f*inger into the pool of blood on my body and drew a strange pattern on my chest.It felt like some kind of ancient spell.His icy f*ingers traveled from my chest to my belly and then to my back. He seemed to be wrapping me with the invisible lines he drew. My entire body felt uncomfortable and I was getting increasingly uneasy. He seemed to be offering me as a sacrifice. I recalled his prayer and repentanc
You’ll Explode (Davina’s POV)I had never felt so horrible before. A burst of extremely violent energy was circulating in my body, stripping me of my strength and sanity, and forcing me to surrender.My heart was racing wildly, as if it was about to escape from my chest. At the same time, my body temperature also fluctuated drastically. Sometimes I was too hot, and at other times I was too cold.Some mechanism seemed to have activated both my lycan power and black witch power, and they burst forth from my body.Although I had regained my powers, I had lost all control over them now. The two powers were tearing my body apart.In the past, I had the energy to subdue the power of the black witch blood. I could also balance my lycan power with my black witch power, but now I just couldn’t handle it.Even worse, a third force was trying to destroy the balance between them, attempting to seize control.I felt intense pain in every inch of my body My powers had gone berserk, and my sanity ha
Kiss Her (Klaus’ POV)Klaus was being tortured, not just by one, but by three different kinds of power. Her veins stood out on the back of her hands, and her body continued to burn.I carried her back to the bed and prepared a basin of water to wipe her with. I needed to get her temperature down first.No medicine could help her, and from what I had just seen, the painkillers didn’t do much, either.If Klaus’s fever continued much longer, her body might burn to ashes before it could explode.Towels were changed one after another, the basin emptied and refilled repeatedly. The blood curse was so potent that several towels caught sparks of flames as soon as they made contact with her skin. I couldn’t even imagine the pain Klaus must be going through.The blood stains on her body were cleaned, but she was sweating endlessly.I stared at her face, twisted in agony, and my heart ached. I didn’t even understand why I was reacting like that, but I was adamant about not letting her die. I ref
Davina Pov.Breakups weren't a strange and heart-wrenching feeling anymore; they were my new normal, thanks to Vincent, my on-again, off-again boyfriend from college. I'd lost count of how many times we'd broken up, and it had become a casual feeling to just walk away from the one you love. But today, I wished he had done it over the phone. Bringing me my favorite diner and having my best meal served, only to break up with me, was absolute torture. Especially since I had no one at home to console me or tell me everything would be alright."Don't look so forlorn, Davina. I'm doing this for your happiness," he said, his voice laced with insincerity. "I don't want to hurt your feelings more than I already have. This job is eating so much of my time. You deserve someone who has time for you. I'm obviously not that candidate."I slipped a bored look out of my upright expression. "Really, Vincent? You've made this speech countless times. How long do we have to keep going on and off?" I pa
