Kahlan POV

Shock kept me motionless and speechless for a long time. I didn't even know how long I was gone.

It felt like I didn't hear it clearly or maybe I didn't. It wasn't possible, right? I definitely heard it wrong, right?

"It can't be!" I started slowly, my voice sounding, unlike mine.

Mathias shook his head briefly. "I don't know what to tell you, Kahlan but it's all the truth. Eric killed everyone and I saw him do it. I would never lie to you about it," he expressed.

Yes, Mathias would never lie about such things. Even though he had never tried to settle the rift between me and my father, he was never on my bad side.

I collapsed on the bed, my head reeling. I shook my head briefly, unknowingly.

I didn't know when Mathias left. It was some hours later which seemed like minutes when I discovered he wasn't in the room with me.

I was just too confused and baffled. Hot tears stung my face as the words continued to replay in my head.

Did Eric kill my pack? He killed my parents? Pla

    Kahlan POVI had a feeling of dejavu immediately. It was as if I was seeing a replica of myself and Sonia. "What are you talking about?" I asked, the words made me tremble, or was I trembling before uttering the words? I'm just so confused.He sighed. "I will tell you all you need to know if you will hear me out. If you aren't interested, then I will leave," he expressed.I regarded him for a moment. " How did you enter? Did you grow wings or what?" I inquired.He smiled. " You see, Eric and I could be from the same father but we are way different, very different. While Eric is a lycan, I'm only a shapeshifter," he revealed.My heart took on a sudden beat, as a reminder. Damn! Sonia is also a shapeshifter and she's the worst. I sincerely don't know if I should be talking to Hardin or not.Ok, I'm so angry at everyone from Eric's side because Hardin is going to be telling me about Eric. Somehow, I'm interested."That's why you hate him?" The word went out of my mind before I could thi

    Kahlan POV It took forever before a slight knock sounded on the door. My heart skipped a beat at the thought that it could be Eric. Though, I knew Eric wouldn't knock. He would definitely just open the door and walk in since he owns the whole place. "Yes, come in," I invited. The door opened and the maid from earlier walked inside with a tray of whatever. She bowed slightly. "I brought you some snacks and guess what?" She said anxiously. Has something happened? She looked and sounded so happy at the same time. "What?" I said languishing. I'm not in the mood but I don't want to let them suspect anything. I just kill Eric and get this done with. I don't care! They might kill me after I've killed Eric. It doesn't even matter. I will kill myself before they do. I'm going to take the wolf bane too. We will die together. There will be no need for anyone to mock me or do things I don't like. There's no word without my mate anyways. Unless the moon goodness has pity on me and gives me

    Eric povSomehow, it just felt somehow. I mean even looking at Kahlan and I could see that something was wrong somewhere.But with the emergence of the wine, I think that was what she was trying to keep from me.My smile widened as I regarded the bottle of wine. Kahlan was planning behind me. She is slowly getting free with me which is what I was desperately wishing for.Now that I'm back, I will try to look for Hardin. He's my brother and so I don't want to fight him but if he's so bent on ruining my relationship with Kahlan, then we might as well just fight till the moon goddess separates us.I'm not going to let him ruin my chances with Kahlan as he did with Naomi. Trouble just follows wherever he goes.I watched Kahlan safely place the bottle of wine on the table, a smile on her face before she moved even closer to me.“I want you too,” her soft voice caresses my ears.I've seriously missed her. I caught her in my arms and kissed her collarbone. She giggled at this and it melted m

    Kahlan pov I stared at him, shocked for a moment. What is he trying to do? I didn't try to stop him or ask him what he was doing. Well, I don't even care. I don't care what he does, even though I'm sure he would never drink that wolfsbane. However, only wants me to stop him but that wouldn't happen. The bottle of wine fell from his grasp as he drank all the wine in the cup, including the wolfsbane. My heart made a sudden thud. I rushed towards him again. “Where is it? Where? Did you finish it?” He stared at me with those expressionless eyes. Then he slowly shook his head. “I will not let you die, Kahlan.” My heart almost stopped beating as Eric dropped to the floor. The door jerked open, the door actually falling off. “Alpha!” Nyall yelled in fear as several other men rushed inside as well. They gathered around Eric and eventually took him out. Would he die? Damn! I don't believe I'm asking myself this kind of question. Is he saying the truth? Why else would he drink th

Who knows, he might be more wicked.He smiled softly and suddenly, he was gone.My eyes went wide. "What just happened?" I muttered in shock."I'm behind you," that familiar voice said behind me.I turned around quickly and realized that Hardin was the one. How was he able to enter this place? There seems to be something else somewhere but I'm not going to bother about it. I'm concerned mainly about Eric. I want to know whatever there is about him."Tell me all I need to know," I pushed.He nodded and patted the space beside him. " You can as well sit because it's going to be a long story," there was sarcasm in his voice and a twinkle in his eyes.I ignored him. "I can choose to be wherever I want. You can start talking or leave," I expressed in a firm voice.He sighed and looked away. " It's ok if you don't want to sit. I will start my story then. Well, Eric is the strongest as I've

    Kahlan POVAfter some minutes that Hardin had left, I couldn't stop thinking. All that Hardin had explained to me kept replaying itself in my head.I don't regret what happened to him. In fact, I desperately want him to die. Even though I knew how much it would affect me. But if someone could be so wicked, why doesn't he die?The only regret I had was sleeping with him without confirming things.I don't know why that had to happen to me. Why did the moon goddess do this evil to me?Why? Why can't Mathias have appeared earlier? Why did it have to be now?The breeze murmured in my ears as if answering my questions. The air around me felt chilly and I wrapped my arms around myself.The tears left my eyes and I let it be. I don't even know what would happen to me now. What would Eric do to me when he wakes up?Would he kill me? Well, that would be better. I'm so tired of all this. I closed my sticky eyes..I opened my eyes slowly and realized I was on the cold floor. I must have slept of

    Kahlan POV I couldn't stop the tears from coming down my face. I felt miserable and stupid and had all sorts of bad feelings in the world. I couldn't see clearly as I was being dragged away. The only thing I could do was scream and shout out to my uncle I wish he could wake up at that moment. I felt like I would stop beating. Why is this happening to me? Why must people around me die? And why must Eric do this kind of evil thing to me? I tried to jerk off the men again but they held me firmly this time around until we got to the front of the Alpha's room. Wait a moment, is Eric awake? Was Hardin really telling the truth? One of the maids walked inside, perhaps to inform Eric that we were in front of his room. I was still crying but not like before. I could see now and even though I was unable to wipe it off, it was greying dried off on my face. The maid walked out again, "you can enter," she passed out the information. I tried to struggle again. I don't want to enter, I don

He asked, with eyes gone wide.I regarded him for a moment. "Is he not your brother?"He huffed and observed me for another moment. " Are you kidding me? You believe my brother but you don't believe me?"I looked away. " Your family is indeed full of mystery but you've lied to me once, I can't trust you again. I know you killed my uncle because you heard about it all. And you intentionally took the wolfsbane because you wanted to impress me," I pointed an accusing finger at him." What?" He exclaimed. " And Hardin told you all this?"I shook my head briefly. " I don't need Hardin to tell me it was you that killed my uncle. My father's heart was ripped out, the same as what had happened to my uncle. It was undoubtedly you!"Eric sighed. " I told you severally, Kahlan. I didn't kill your father. I didn't kill your pack," he stressed.I regard

    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.

    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."

    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 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
