Kahlan POV

My heart felt heavy as I sat in the dungeon, alone as usual. This dungeon was different from the one I slept in hours back. While it was too cold there, this place barely had any air.

And it felt like I would pass out if I didn't keep inhaling. But that was the least of my problems at the moment.

I couldn't blot out the images of my parents' carcass from my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about them.

With my legs pulled up, and my face on my knee, I tried to think about my life. If I continued to refuse Eric, would I spend the rest of my life like this?

Or was there something else I could do? Eric should pay for killing my parents.

Well, I desperately want to avenge but I'm so powerless. I'm nothing compared to how powerful Eric was. Yet, I needed to try.

If only I could escape from here and plan. I could work on that actually.

Suddenly, soft steps advanced towards me. I looked up at a tall man in casual wear. He had this soft expression on his face.

    Kahlan POV My eyes went wide with shock. At first, I thought my ears were playing tricks on me. I stood up angrily. "What the fuck are you talking about, you moron?" I yelled at him. It wasn't that I didn't expect it but it was surprising that Eric's beta would be betraying him. Well, serve him right. For someone so wicked like him, the moon goddess would intentionally place his doom beside him. "Marco, that's my name," he whispered. "You are quite stubborn and then not as brilliant as I think you were." His remark caught me off guard and I felt another surge of anger. If I wasn't so locked up, I would have shifted and attacked him at this moment. Even Though he would have an upper hand since he was a beta, I would still love to smash his face. "Isn't that what you wanted to hear?" Marco continued. "You wanted to hear Eric tell you that he killed your parents?" "I want his honesty, I want the truth!" I complained. "He shouldn't do something and deny it. He's not the Alpha, he's

  • Desired By The Two Devils    Chapter 18: Tricky

    Kahlan pov I took a deep breath even though I didn't need it. Who wouldn't? Eric is my mate and I would have to reason that every time I move close to him. When must I stop this suffering? I moved closer to Eric nevertheless but he was too deep in a chat with Marco to notice me. I was not supposed to interrupt the Alpha while he talks, it was the rule that was always read over and over to me. “So, what are you going to do about it, then?” Marco asked, seriously. Eric went silent for a moment. “Prepare for war. That's the only thing.” I scoffed. As unusual, he must be thinking of bloodshed. He's always thinking of killing. I knew he was very wicked. Out of impatience, I moved toward the table in front of them and placed the tray on it. I added force so that the tray would make a sound, thereby actually distracting the Alpha. Eric and Marco looked up at me with skeptical brows. “Always thinking of killing, aren't you?” I huffed and stared down at the cookies. Not that I cared a

    Kahlan POV The maid walked back to us with another plate of cookies. She gently placed it on the table and bowed before she walked away again. I looked away, as I expected Eric to eat it and do the necessary. Instead, his thick baritone voice rang in my ears suddenly. I turned to look at him. "What?" I raised skeptical brows at him and waited. " You heard me right, Kahlan. I don't really like repeating myself but I will do that again," each word was laced with something hideous but I couldn't find out what they all meant. And his face looked even harder. A dark frown had formed on his face already. But one thing I was sure of was that he didn't look as angry as he always does. "Pick a cookie and chew. I need to get the flavor and confirm it's perfect for this occasion," he repeated. " Well, that is something that should be done by you. Why should I be the one to taste it?" I was even more skeptical. He smirked. " Because I said so. You will pick this damn thing and quit questi

  • Desired By The Two Devils    Chapter 20: A bath

    Kahlan POV I had the cookies covered before I hurried toward Eric's room. There were a lot of maids in front of his room which got me amazed for a moment. Why were they so many? Were they really preparing the Alpha or was there someone else in the room with him? Was Eric really planning to mate someone else? Wait, I'm not supposed to even be bothered about something like this, right? Yes, because I don't care. He might go to hell, and marry whoever he wished. Why? Because it wouldn't even matter. I planned to kill him anyways. I stopped in front of the maids. "I want to give some cookies to E_," I pulled myself to a sudden stop and cleared my throat meaningfully. "To the Alpha." Maybe these sharks would have had me whole if I didn't correct myself earlier. One of the maids that looked a bit older regarded me for a moment while the others stood still like a statue. "Take it," she ordered and I didn't even know what she meant. I was expecting them to part the way for me, instea

  • Desired By The Two Devils    Chapter 21: The truth

    Kahlan POV I thought it was funny until I got brushed and scrubbed until I was clean. And the funniest thing about this is that I didn't do anything. They were the ones that did all the jobs. I was led to a room where new clothes lay on the bed for me. So, I'm getting new clothes? Wonderful. "But are you sure the Alpha would still like to have the cookies when I give them to him?" I asked, skeptical. I mean I had taken almost an hour. If I was the one, I would have lost interest in the cookies. Unless, as I've concluded earlier, it was all about me and not the cookies. The woman smiled. It was the first time that I would see one of the maids smile at me. Everyone from this pack actually has pride. And well, Eric was the Alpha of proudness. That was why he always had mood swings. "Don't worry, it's the procedure. You will be fine," she assured. I let out a sigh and assisted in wearing the clothes. Within a few minutes, I was ready and looking even more beautiful. They didn't do

  • Desired By The Two Devils    Chapter 22: Exposure

    Eric POV For a moment, I saw the expression on Kahlan's face change and it looked like she was going to ask me something. I desperately want her to listen to me. I must not let Hardin win. He must fail in wanting to pull me and my mate apart. "Eric, I_," she pulled to a stop suddenly when one of the maids walked in. I cleared my throat meaningfully and turned to walk toward the desk. Well, I knew what Kahlan was going to say. She was going to taunt me as usual. She wouldn't even listen to anything around her. She was so good at just listening to her voice. She was exactly like me. I wonder why the moon goddess would give me someone like me. It makes everything harder for me. And the elders are on my neck already. I didn't want to tell them that Kahlan was my mate until she accepted. Because as long as the elders were concerned, they would force Kahlan. Who cares about how she feels anyways? Somehow, the moment I discovered that my brother was involved in this, I started to care

  • Desired By The Two Devils    Chapter 23: invisibility

    Kahlan POV For some minutes after Eric had left, I stood frozen on the floor. His words kept ringing in my ears. And well, I would have asked him to explain if the maid hadn't interrupted. Though, I couldn't stop asking myself if I was ready to believe him. Would I only believe him if he admitted to the offense? How then was I sure that he actually committed the crime? If Eric didn't do it, what would I do? But then, who could have done it? And why was Eric present that day? There was a lot I wanted to hear from Eric. No, there was a lot I could have asked from him, instead of pointing accusing fingers, and preventing him from explaining. The space would have been filled if I had listened to him earlier. I mean why didn't I think of it earlier? I took the tray and walked out of the room. There were only a few maids in front of the room, as the others had followed the Alpha. I walked back to the hall that had suddenly changed during my few minutes of absence. I walked to the wo

  • Desired By The Two Devils    Chapter 24: Explanation

    Kahlan POV I couldn't really explain how disappointed I felt at what Eric just did. But I was expecting it. I didn't treat Eric very well, how do I expect him to treat me? But he could have tried to be more understanding, right? I turned around to see where Eric went and realized it was towards Marco. I watched them for a moment, forcefully, and finally decided to leave the hall. It was pointless anyway. I shouldn't have been here in the first place. Even at that, my legs felt very heavy. I didn't want to leave the party. I wanted to stay back and watch Eric. Perhaps, he would soon be free. Suddenly, Marco walked away from Eric and towards the entrance of the hall. It looked like he was going to leave. I hurried after him quickly. Well, if I can't hear anything from Eric, Marco would be in the best position to explain it to me. And this time, I'm going to listen to all the explanations and I will decide later if I'm supposed to believe it or not. I hurried up as I wanted to me

I had trusted her, confided in her, and now she had caused me so much pain.I did not waste any time. I ordered the guards to lock Sonia up in the dungeons and prepare for her execution.

    SONIA'S POVThe news of Khalan’s miscarriage brought me great joy. I was originally mad that my plan of poisoning and killing Khalan had not worked when I heard and even saw for myself that she was in fact still alive. I had been so disturbed and worried about the pack finding out about my failed mission. In the past weeks I had lived in worry and also with caution in case Eric found out about the poisoning or at the very least, if Khalan suspects that I had anything to do with the murder attempt. I went out to meet up with the other omegas and from them I heard about Khalan’s miscarriage. They were all talking about it with some sadness in their voices but I listen intently to know what had happened. When I heard that the baby had not survived, I struggled to hide and keep my excitement to myself before the others noticed it and began any suspicion. To try hiding my guilt and act as if I was as worried as they were, I drew close to where they were discussing to try to act up.“So the

    Sonia's POVHow can Eric punish me? In front of everyone at that? I thought to myself as I paced around the room.It was really embarrassing seeing others walk by me and stare at me like I was a decoration.It was okay for him to punish other dressers but to punish me, with the way I feel for him and also with what we share together, it was really annoying.He might not think of me the way I do since the bitch was here but I'm sure he also feels the same way I do.I stared down at my hand as it shone red. It was already getting blisters and it hurt if I touch it."This was all Khalan's fault. If she wasn't here and if she hadn't seduce him, he wouldn't have bothered punishing me alongside those stupid girls."I tried to use my hands to push the door open as I always do but it hurt so bad that I can barely touch the door."Darn it," I muttered softly as I walked back to the bed. Eric had no idea that the punishment he gave me did not just hurt me physically but it also hurt me emotiona

A maid yelled from the other side of the door.I smiled to myself, I needed to drink some wine to celebrate my dear, it made me happy and joyous but I was suspicious, no maids were allowed in my chambers save for male, why was she here?"Give it to the guards, you may leave." I ordered.I heard the shuffling of feet and then she was gone, another knock interrupted my thoughts and someone came in, I lifted yo my head to see Milan; on of my guards, he bowed and carefully dropped her tray if wine on the table and left, I stood up and took a sip out of it, it was delicious and reminded me of Khalan's lips.I could almost feel the taste of her lips on me, it was heavenly and though it was brief, I d

    HARDIN'S POV I dashed through the forest, dry leaves crunching beneath my feet as the wind howled a mournful tune, as if warning me of an impending doom, but this only made me run faster, numb to the pain I had felt during the fight. Torns tore at my skin, with tree branches slapping my face as I raced between them, half blind.Nothing was working in my favor. The moonlight had been out before, but now that I was trying to run for my life, it hid behind the dark clouds, and made it even harder for me to run.How could I have been so foolish? How could I have let my guard down? I had been so annoyed at the fact that I didn't succeed in my plan to kill Eric that I didn't check my surroundings, and opened myself to the attack.Although all the men I had attacked were laying lifeless where we had battled, it didn't make me feel safe. For all I knew, there could be more men lurking around and waiting to attack me. Due to the injuries I had sustained, my senses weren't as sharp as before,

  • Desired By The Two Devils    Chapter 117: Soles

    KHALAN'S POVI watched Nyall rush out of the dungeon. My muscles screamed and my bones jerked as I cracked an aching neck and fingers. I felt so tired from the day I had very little energy left and found it easier to focus on that exhaustion as I made for my bed, my soles screaming with each step I took closer to my bed.It had barely been a minute since I fell asleep when there settled in my chest a feeling of unease, like something dark was looming over me. I tried to wake up but couldn't move, almost like my hands were held by invisible chains to the bed and my legs were being held down by a pair of arms. My heart raced with each attempt I made at freeing myself and jumping awake, every effort seemed wasted and the more I struggled, the tighter the bounds and the further I was pulled from reality. The wind made matters worst with each sweep of dust and I was certain I was going to have a heart attack when a familiar face appeared before me. My shoulders slacked seeing that hair. Hi

I wasn't too sure why he was so eager to do that to me, because he had always seem to be very good and friendly towards me.Thoughts of that dream go me so scared as hot drips of sweat flew down my Spain. I wasn't save at all,if that was the case. There was only one way to know why Hardin wanted me died by all means and that was for me to go over to the pack and ask Eric about it . It was very possible that he would be able to provide me with the answers I seeked.I got up immediately from where I had been laying down and quickly got the hot sweats cleaned off with my palms. As I tried making my move out I could only realize how Shakey my legs were. I managed to put myself together as I stormed my way to the pack.
