NIXIE’s POV It was quite obvious that in one way or the other, what she had come to say was going to be about my father, or maybe about her or the both of them at the same time.I was still waiting for her to speak up as I stood still waiting for her to dry up her tears and say something to me.But I got the shocker of my life and not what I was expecting at all, instead of her saying anything to me, she went all silent.And even when I gave her very puzzled looks, she acted like she did not get the signals that I was passing to her and kept staring at me.The only good thing about all that was going on here was that she was trying to look better by wiping her tears and putting a fake smile on.Why did it look like everyone was just looking for ways to mess up with my emotions today and they did not think about how I was feeling on the other hand.She still kept up with her fake smiles even though I knew on the inside that she was not yet feeling good at all.I finally gathered the c
NIXIE’s POVNow that I thought about my father, I wondered why she did not inform him about whatever it was that had happened to her or was wrong with her before she came to meet me.I mean, he was one of the best in giving advice to people and we all had gotten even more than half of our wisdom today from him so I wondered why she did not speak to him yet.Even she had affirmed how she had learnt so much from him and how she said she had wanted to be like him or myself in the future.That is even if I was like him and I did not even know what to say to reply to her that day so I kept mute and gave her a smile afterwards.Maybe I would have had the confidence to tell her that I was just like my father if I had known him before this time.It hurt me indeed that I did not get to know him early because I feel that if I did, then I would be the best person to be like him because I already looked like him in character even without being around him for a long time or for long enough.I cher
NIXIE’s POVI saw Ciara sitting alongside those people I never imagined that she would know all her life. I knew that she had been in the pack way before I was but that did not mean that she would know them.Maybe she knew them from a distance at least, but talking to them this way and even sitting with them was a shock to me, still I decided to keep it in.I looked through the corner of my eyes and saw the damsel sit down and start to cry again and it was then I knew I was in for something deeper than I could handle.Since no one was saying anything yet, I decided to ask what was going on from Ciara in a thick tone that I knew would nake her respond as soon as possible and it did work but I could not believe my ears thereafter.“It’s your father.” She said as she bent her head a little as if she did not know whether or not to continue with the talk and I moved closer to her shake her to get her to talk.“My father? What happened to my father, Ciara? Someone say something!” I shouted
CIARA's POVI shuffled my feet for the umpteenth time. The elders sitting before me bore on their faces great sadness and the atmosphere was tense. I wondered how my face looked next to theirs as I was very sure that none of them was as sad as I was . Of course, why would they be ?. The great elder's death is my fault and mine entirely. I sobbed once more and let the tears run down my face in torrents ,as though they were athletes in a race , trying to outrun each other. I felt bile rise up in my throat and I swallowed my saliva. Sorrow overclouded me and I could think of nothing more than this death which was my fault. When a messenger came in , wearing an indifferent look , I felt anger course through me . Every member of the pack were supposed to be sad , or so I thought . Why not ? Only a person deviod of feelings would feel otherwise. As my eyes made their way to the Messenger's shoe , I couldn't but smile as I thought he deserved the lowliest state of squalor he was in. Hear
CIARA's POV**********************She still read books and asked questions from other doctors who knew more than she did.As if that was not enough, sometimes she left it to the moon goddess to treat or she would bring someone to work on the body themselves even without interfering.Ofcourse , she would think of me as a quack, one whose negligence had led to the demise of her beloved father.“What happened, Ciara” she asked again , tears gradually gathering in her eyes.Now I wanted to be on my own because the whole world was slowly crumbling in and around me and I did not know what to do or say than just look.I felt great pity for her ofcourse she was the who had lost the best thing that had happened to her. She was still in between the guards who did not even care how she felt while she fixed her teary eyes on me , waiting for an answer “I had tried to call you for a long time to get across to you, I tried reaching everyone and they said you did not want to be disturbed so I decide
Calebs POVI really did not expect seeing Lucian at my door. The fact that I had just come back from meeting with Titan and then Lucian comes knocking at my door was one I didn't deem to be coincidental. Maybe he knew about my meetings with Titan and Alana and had come to confront me about it. Or maybe I was overreacting. "Can I come in?" Lucian asked, shaking me from my thoughts. "Uh, yeah," I muttered as I shifted from the door and gestured for him to come in. He smiled and walked inside as I closed the door. "Your room hasn't changed much," he said as he walked over to a wooden chair and sat on it. "You know how much I like my things same," I said as I leaned my back on the door and crossed my legs. "What are you doing here, Lucian?"Lucian looked at me with a smile as he began twirling his fingers around each other. I could notice he was nervous and both anxious at the same time and he was trying his best to hold it in. I know Lucian right from when we were little and I know
Lucians POVI walked over to Harolds room with anger in my eyes. Anger that Caleb had lied about where he had gone to and anger that he might know where Alana was and had been hiding it from me. As I reached Harolds place, I heard moanings coming from within. That of a man and a woman. Why was I hearing moanings? Was he having sex? But Harold was not mated. Was he having sex outside of mating? Angrily, I pushed down his door and met him on the bed with a naked woman on top of him. She saw me and immediately came down from Harold, struggling with the blanket she wanted to use to cover her self. I recognized her immediately. It was one of the pack omegas, Dana. She pleaded and apologized as I walked towards them. I had no interest in her so I told her to leave. With fear, she immediately packed her things and ran out of the room, not bothering to cover herself. Harold on the other hand, was breathing heavily as he crawled to a corner of his bed, with his back against the headboard.
Calebs POVI groaned and growled in pain as Lucians claw dug into my belly. I could feel his sharp claw getting deeper and deeper and it hurt by the second. I didn't know when he threw the punch at me and it was way too fast for me to dodge this time. I and Lucian had practiced a lot when we were younger so I knew almost all of his moves but this time, he wasn't attacking with clarity. His punches were just random and sudden, sending me off guard with every blow that he struck on me. My mouth was now badly bloodied and I felt about six holes where I knew my teeth used to be. Some o had swallowed from his punches and some I had spit out. His punchings didn't seem to stop and just when I thought it was going to, he shot out his claws and dug it into my abdomen while pinning me to the wall. I knew me making any move to escape was only going to cause more damage to me as that would only cause his was to dig deeper. I held his hands and tried pulling it out but his grip was way to stron
