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.

    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 TWENTY-SIX.In the Phoenix kingdom, a man with seven tails of many colours was pacing around in his courtyard, and just a little bit far off from him were a multitude of guards who had their eyes glued to the ground. They dare not look up to the man.The man, who was the phoenix king, was waiting for his daughter, who had insisted on going to the werewolf pack for an assignment he could have given to one of his trusted men to carry out, and he feared that his daughter could have been caught and killed by the mysterious wolf's alpha, Jacqueline.Though the king's expression couldn't be seen even if they wanted to look, since he had himself hidden in the dark."Any word from Clyve yet?" He questioned in a calm voice.The calmness of his voice got his guards taking a step backwards. They preferred him shouting like a maniac rather than being calm. The calmer he was, the more dangerous he was."No, my king." One replied and immediately turned into ashes.The king burned him alive

    CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN.ROSALIE'S POV.I haven't seen more of Jacqueline since yesterday, and I was becoming worried. Though I knew that he was okay, at least, he must be okay since nothing seemed different.Everything was normal, and none of the daily activities in the pack house were left undone.It was in the evening, and I was just done with the last person on my schedule that day. I walked out of the ward and away when I was stopped by Briana.I grumbled, "I thought you were dead or something, for me to have a peaceful day throughout yesterday."She smiled and fixed her short hair behind her ears. "You know, Rosa, you can't ever be free or be peaceful in this castle. Though you know you can go somewhere else to have a peaceful life, the choice is yours.""Alright. I heard you." I replied to her just to get her off my neck and made to walk by her side, but she stopped me. Typical Briana."What?" I dragged the word, silently telling her she was disturbing me."One more thing." She fo

    CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT.ROSALIE'S POV."Rosa!" A loud call pierced into my sleep, and I turned tiredly on my bed, growling."Rosa. Dammit! Wake up!"I wanted to listen to the voice and wake up, but I couldn't. It was like I was trapped, and not when I was having one of the weirdest dreams ever, in which Briana was included."Dammit!"And there was peace from the background, no more trial, and I was stuck in my dream with Briana.She laughed maliciously, "Your little guidance angel gives up on you so easily. What can I say? You're right here, with me."I had to do all the weird things she began to list out for me. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I just knew that when she said 'do', I did.Suddenly, I felt a calm touch on me and the real angel's voice spoke calmly into my ears, "Wake up, it's just a dream."That was more of a command than mere words. I was commanded to wake up, and I did. My eyes flung open to welcome a light-blinding room. It was sudden, and I groaned with my hand

    CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE.ROSALIE'S POV.We were on a secluded field behind the castle, and I don't think anyone would be able to locate us, maybe except Jacqueline. Carl got our scents covered."First thing first as I told you, you have to know that those people are not just ordinary people, they are lords, some, kings, but even with that, you shouldn't bow to them, you're representing a prominent figure too, a luna, this pack's luna, and you must act like one."You will have to carry yourself gracefully. If you want to greet any of them, give the person your hand for a kiss, and form a small smile on your lips with your eyes strictly locked into their eyes, and mind you, avoid getting lost in their eyes."Some of them are chronic womanizers. They charm women with their eyes. So, I'll advise: anytime you want to greet the leaders, make sure you're holding Jacqueline firmly. If you do, their powers won't work on you, but if possible, Jacqueline is not around at that moment. Don't smile whe

    CHAPTER THIRTY.JACQUELINE'S POV.I was sitting on my throne with my eyes glued on my elders as they discussed their fears about my decision to go to the banquet, which was two days away.It was funny how they were worried about me, whereas, I was not at all worried, neither did I feel any sort of fear. I was very brave that I would go there and return.It was not hidden from everyone that the banquet was made for my disposal, but what they found unknown was my real intention for acknowledging the invitation and my strict decision that I would be there."In my personal opinion, I think the alpha should ignore them. Though we know that our alpha is not a weak one, I still think they aren't worth his presence." One of the elders said and the rest began again.Saying I shouldn't go and some said if I insist on going, I should go with all the palace guards."That's a good suggestion." I said to them, and they all smiled foolishly, "But if I go with all the palace guards, then who will gua

    CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE.ROSALIE'S POV.I was not expecting Jack to listen to my words like he did, but all the same, he made everything easier for me. I wouldn't have to stress so much for Jacqueline to cooperate with me if his wolf was that obedient to me."Jack, take me away from here," I said to him, trying to prove to Jacqueline that I could be in control too.I was surprised at how fast he was. He took over Jacqueline's body and took me in his hands before all the way jumping down from the balcony."Woah!" I gasped.He then swung me to his back, where I sat with my hands holding tightly to his grey and black fur, and he dashed into the woods.I had no idea of where he was taking me to, but I bet was enjoying the ride. The way he galloped, jumped over dry leaves and dived between wet leaves, thereby leaving some drops of water on me, got

    CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO.ROSALIE'S POV.I was in a secluded space behind the castle, preparing my herbs, which I had told Carl that I would drink before going to the banquet, which was just tomorrow.I had added all the ingredients for the first round, I was stirring the extracted juice I had poured inside a small kitchen pot, and its shaft was also by my side. I was going to use it for the special drink I would be mixing for Ophelia.I couldn't forget she needed to be punished. The only way she could escape my punishment was if she didn't bother to show up at the banquet, but if she did, then, sorry, I was unable to forgive.The herb had been well cooked, so I carried the pot down from the stove and kept it aside for it to cool down its hotness.I carried the shaft with a bottle of soda and I began to mix Ophelia's portion.Then, some steps p

    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.

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-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
