CHAPTER SEVENTEEN.

JACQUELINE'S POV.

My hands itch to hit something so bad, to at least reduce my anger if I couldn't take everything off my mind.

I got to my chamber and stomped towards the mirror to see what I had become, and right there stood a homeless man whose face was squeezed up uglily in a frown.

This man who was staring back at me was everything I wasn't. He looked cold, helpless, vicious, cruel, and a lot more bad things, and I hated that that same man was the man I'd become.

I hated that I let people change me, but what could I do when the world suddenly turned cold and lonely for me? All the people I trusted betrayed me, and all the people I loved left me.

I would have been okay if I had been warned, but no, nothing seemed wrong til everything turned wrong. Even my father made me believe that he wouldn't leave me, not knowing he was desiring his wife's touch deeply in his heart.

If my father could do that to me, who is Rosalie and everyone else?

    CHAPTER EIGHTEEN.ROSALIE'S POV.I was beside Briana and watched her pounding the leaves we got from the woods, and her weird smile was plastered all over her face.She dropped the pestle in the mortar, and faced me, "What next?""Add the pure honey to it, and that's all," I instructed her with a bow at her.She smiled ruthlessly at me. "What does this herbs do again? What does it cure?"I stared at Briana, at first not replying to her.In my heart, I didn't want to reply to her question, but it felt like something in my soul was forcing me to answer her, which was against everything I wanted.It felt like my soul, mind, and body were in a great battle with each other, which caused a lot of pain for me, but I kept on moving on. So the alienated feeling won, and I answered her."Diseases, master.""Good."She returned to what she was doing, and suddenly, a mighty breeze began to blow, like a tornado, though not strong enough to be called a tornado, and then I heard a voice calling my n

    CHAPTER NINETEEN.BRIANA POV.It was another day to work.As the head of all healers in the pack, I was not by any reason associating myself with the other healers, and my main purpose in the pack was not to be a slave to the sick people. I was here for their alpha. Jacqueline.Everything had been going on smoothly. Jacqueline was almost slipping back into my hands until Rosalie brought her bad luck with her into the pack, and she had been standing as an obstacle to me.Normally, I don't like obstacles, nor do I always keep them near. It was either I make them leave the pack house themselves, or do things to them that would make them kill themselves.I didn't stain my hands with blood. I don't kill, but still, everyone in the pack house feared me, and that was probably how Rosa was able to gather some information about me from people.They all feared me, and I loved it that way.They all knew I wanted Jacqueline. So, to stay clear from my path, they all stayed away from the alpha, mak

    CHAPTER TWENTY.JACQUELINE'S POV.I stomped into the throne room with Carl behind me, and I met with the elders who were uneasy, "What the fuck am I hearing?" I growled out the question."The rogues broke into the pack and took away the messenger when he was returning to his alpha." An elder replied to me."How did it happen? Where was everyone when it happened?""We were not present, but an eyewitness told to us that he was targeted and taken from among them when he was going." Another answered me."How's that possible? Didn't the strong guards follow to see him off as I commanded?""They did, my alpha.""Then get them here right now, I need to question them to know whether to take their head or let them find the messenger. They'll have to choose one.""They can't be here alpha. They're dazed and look eccentric like their brains were toyed with. They're behaving like a pup."I began to pace, "How's that possible? They're strong and fearless, who would harm them without a fight?"No o

    CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE.JACQUELINE'S POV."I think it's fully covered now," I told Carl and he nodded."Yes, it is."We were already at the dwarfs' territory, and to easily conceal our identities, we changed our clothes to rags and hit the car in the woods, covering it with dry leaves and branches."Why's your hair looking neat?" I questioned Carl and drove my hands into his hair immediately, scattering everything about and pointing each tip to different angles."Now, you're looking like a wanderer," I commented and he chuckled."Let's go."We moved towards a small route and walked through it vertically, making sure that our ears were opened to pick sounds from miles away.We began to hear some sounds like rumbles, and no word could be deciphered from the sounds."I think they didn't speak English." Said Carl to me."Doesn't matter, we'll find someone who can speak English, and if there's none, I'll read their body language and expression to know what's on their minds.""Alright."We cont

    CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO.JACQUELINE'S POV.Craig Fritolar's eyes lingered on me before slowly he waved his hand to his men who were sneaking behind Carl and me, then he chuckled, "I'm not expecting something less, bloody werewolves."I stood up to my feet to look down at him since his 4ft tallness couldn't match my 6'3ft."You surprised me, Fritolar, you want to attack a boy like me from behind. Is that not cowardice to you? Because it is to me."He began to pick his brow in thought, then he spoke up, "I don't have it in mind to kill you, at least, not yet. I only wanted to capture you to make you understand you're fighting a lost battle. I bet your messenger is dead by now. You're just threatening your life for nothing."I pulled closer to him with my face turning cold, I was done with chitchat. "It's like you don't get it, Fritolar. I'm not my father, neither am I my ancestors, if I set my mind on something, I do it without thinking of the risk in it."But I must say, thank your god that

    CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE.ROSALIE'S POV.I was heading to the first person I would be treating after mixing up all my concoction, and I had two guards following me. They had made it clear to me that they were from Jacqueline. He commanded them to be with me throughout the treatment, to be sure I don't poison the people.I said nothing to that, so I just did my thing, trying to ignore their presence and pretend that I was alone.I got into the ward and met the woman looking so numb on the bed, and a healer was in there with her.I took over from her."What's her present condition?" I questioned the healer, tugging my hands into my hand gloves."She is in the last state of the disease, and she can fade away soon." I was told."She won't."I used my face mask and pulled the woman's mouth open. I scooped a spoonful of my concoction into her mouth and held her nose, blocking her nostrils for breath. I also held her mouth shut, and when she couldn't breathe, she swallowed the mixture, and I let

    CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR.ROSALIE'S POV.I couldn't move away before the combusted girl got to me. She got hold of my hair and pulled me to her height with it, almost snapping it off my scalp."Who's a child?!" She snapped."Ah!" I shouted painfully, and I was unable to wiggle her grip off. She held onto my hair too firmly."Rosalie!" Jacqueline growled in a different voice. A voice which was clothed with anger, it was also authoritative.I didn't know how fast Jacqueline moved. I just knew that in the next minute, I got back to my self-consciousness, the girl's hand had been snapped away from her shoulder, and it was dangling with its grip still on my hair with blood gushing out.He cut off the girl's hand."Arg!'' I yelped and immediately got rid of the hand away from my hair irritatingly."Stay back," Jacqueline commanded me which I harkened.I didn't need to hear that command twice. I ran to a big tree, and hid behind it, taking cover and peeping at the little girl's fearlessness.I wa

    CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE.JACQUELINE'S POV.I had successfully seen the little phoenix off to the frozen dungeon, and I headed back to my room to wash off my stress and bloodstain.I was under the shower when Rosalie's foolishness kicked back into my memory, and I felt like pacing to her room to lash out words at her to at least show her how foolish she was.I wanted to. I wanted to go there, but I couldn't. I couldn't find it in me to move over to scold her, though I was very mad at her.Jack would not let me go. He wouldn't want me to scold Rosalie, he was just too overprotective of her recently, and I hated it so much.He was in me, and normally, he should be me, but sadly, he wasn't. We were by no means alike in character whenever Rosalie was involved, and we were supposed to be.He was just stubborn and wouldn't listen to me no matter how much I cautioned him. He loved dancing to her tune like a stupid teenager who was just getting to know his crush.I would have loved to ditch him an

    CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE.JACQUELINE'S POV.My bond with Rosalie was pulling me forward into Scott's pack house like an invisible thread. My breathing was ragged, my muscles burning from the effort I had made, but I didn’t care.Nothing mattered except getting to her.I shifted back to my human form when her scent got very strong, and I moved closer on foot, leaving my sweat to tick out of all the tiny holes in my body.I sniffled the air and her scent led me to a heavy metal door at the end of a dimly lit corridor.My heart pounded in my chest as I approached, the sounds of muffled voices filtering through the thick steel. I stood by the door and listened, catching the conversation going on in the room so clearly."Tell us Rosalie, is he dead?" The phoenix king's voice demanded, his tone dripping with malice.

    CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR.JACQUELINE'S POV.This was why I was awake from my slumber, it was all for her, Rosalie. I reasoned that she wouldn't be doing so fine in my absence, and I heard each of the words she spoke to me when I was asleep.She told me, "Wake up, Jacqueline, I'm waiting for you."It got me so much ease that I couldn't but want to wake up, and when I woke up, I was alone in a lonely safe room.'What am I doing here?' I thought.I sat down on the bed and thought about it all to see if I could fish out a memory relating to my presence in a room far away from my chamber.It clicked in like rushing water..."Jacqueline, hold on now, I'll heal you....""Jacqueline, why are you not waking up? People will begin to notice your absence....""I think we have to keep him for a

    CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE.AUTHOR'S POV.Susan was so uneasy as she moved to the room Carl described to her that she would see Jacqueline.She kept her steps light, her breaths shallow, as she moved purposefully toward Jacqueline’s hidden room.The memory of Carl’s urgent instructions through the mind-link guided her.She had written down the description so that she wouldn't forget about it whenever she was ready to go.Susan rounded a corner and froze when she saw Briana.Briana was standing in her path, her arms crossed and her expression unreadable. It was like Briana was waiting for her.The torchlight Susan was holding onto flickered and fell from her hand, casting ominous shadows across Briana's sharp features.Susan’s heart banged in her ribcage, but she

    CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO.ROSALIE'S POV.I woke up in the morning to see myself in Carl's fluffy body. He had shifted to his wolf and he was wrapping himself around me, keeping me away from the cold."Carl," I called him and he replied to me with a low growl. Then he flipped us over, turning to the other side of the room."Hey, Carl." I called him again, tapping him, "Let go, you're suffocating me."He growled again but let me go.I stood up to my feet to stare around the new place we were taken to and saw it was just like the first one. It was equally a cold room.When I was away from Carl's embrace, I felt coldness hitting me, and I rubbed my palms together to generate some heat for myself.I turned to Carl and said, "I hate it here."He grunted in response and kept his posture on the floor, still in h

    CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE.ROSALIE’S POVMy heart raced when a voice from nowhere spoke out. I had to put on a fake bravery and force myself to speak. “We mean no harm. We were thrown in here against our will.”I spoke with my eyes everywhere, trying to locate the source of the voice.The voice seemed to consider those little words of mine, the light dimming slightly, but stable. “Your intentions are irrelevant. Only your hearts will decide your fate.” It said to us.The light flared, enveloping us in a blinding glow.I felt a surge of energy, a sensation both foreign and familiar as if the very essence of my soul was being laid bare.Carl groaned beside me, and I reached out, gripping his hand tightly.“Hold on,” I whispered, though I wasn’t sure who I was trying to

    CHAPTER SIXTY.ROSALE'S POV.The cold in the icy cold room was unbearable, seeping into my bones as I clung to Carl, who barely managed to stay conscious. My mind raced with desperate thoughts, each one more dangerous than the last. I had to find a way out, but the frost-covered walls loomed like a tomb around us, mocking my efforts.Carl’s shallow breathing filled the silence. "Carl," I called while shaking him back over. His words echoed in my ears when he responded, “I’m fine.” But he wasn’t fine. His body was weakening, and if I didn’t act soon, I might lose him.I know.*What can I do, Rose? We can't die here, can we?* I confined in my wolf.Rose snarled in my mind, with her voice ever sharp. *We can’t stay here. We have to find a way out, Rosalie! We’re stronger than this.*I drew a shaky breath, forcing myself to focus. My eyes scanned the room, searching for anything that might serve as a means of escape with my arms still around Carl. I watched the frost on the walls as

    CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE.ROSALIE'S POV.My heart stopped.My breath caught in my throat again. Before I could react, Scott threw his head back and let out a laugh, a chilling, devilish sound that echoed through the corridor like the wail of a tortured soul. His entire demeanour shifted, the mask of sincerity falling away to reveal something far darker than I had been thinking.“What’s so funny?” Carl demanded, stepping forward, his body tense and ready to fight.But I could see he was not stable, his legs were wobbling under him. 'Is he okay?'"I said, what's funny?!" Carl yelled at Scott.Scott’s laughter subsided, but the wicked grin remained. “Oh, you poor fools. Did you think I’d risk everything just to save you? You’re nothing more than pawns in a much larger game.”I felt the blood drain from my face. Rose howled in rage, the truth of her warnings now undeniable. *I knew it!* She exclaimed.I ignored her to focus on Scott.“What do you mean?” I asked him in a shaking voice despite

    CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT.ROSALIE'S POV.Carl and I followed Scott out of the pack, and when we got outside, we halted before three sleek black cars, which were parked right there with his guards sweeping all around them like ants do to sugar.A door was opened for us, "Enter in." We were commanded.I had lost the zeal to go with Scott. I never knew that he was planning to take us out of the pack. If he does, how then do we take care of Jacqueline?Carl peaked unto my face, "Why are we stopping? Aren't we following him anymore?""I thought going with him was a better idea. I'm sorry."Scott cut into our words and said, "Too late to apologise!"We were pushed into the car, and it zoomed off immediately, with the others coming behind us.'Why am I not thoughtful enough?' I beat myself up, 'I'm stupid! Stupid.'"Hey, hey, stop it. I'll just tell Susan about Jacqueline's location and she will take care of him for the time we will be away." Carl said to me."What if she snitch on us again?""Do

    CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN.ROSALIE'S POV.The cold floor of the hallway pressed against my footwear as I stumbled forward with Carl and was led forward by the guards who were surrounding us. Lennox was present too, and I had been seeing the demonic smirk he plastered on his face since we left the room.I stared at my hands, which had been bound in front of me to keep me from thinking of running or escaping successfully, which I was so thinking. Beside me, Carl walked with his head held high, his expression defiant despite the bruises forming on his cheek and jaw. He had been hit severally, as per Lennox's order to keep him shut and submissive.Though they didn't succeed in keeping him submissive, they were able to keep his mouth shut.I knew that he would be in a biting pain right now and he was healing ever slowly. He was beaten with silver, for he was just too stubborn, just like Jacqueline.The guards on either side of us shoved us forward disrespectfully when our pace faltered, and th
