Goosebumps rose on my flesh and a chill ran down my spine as I stared at the half-collapsed house as dirt surrounded us. At that specific moment, I felt my heart thudding in my ears. Terror gripped every cell of my whole being. My legs gave out and my fingers quivered. 'J... Jason,' I tried to reach him through the mind link but no matter how many times I tried there was no use. He wasn't responding. The mind link was cut off. But he was about to promise me. He was supposed to be out of there safe and sound. He couldn't do this to me. No. I can't accept this. Jason was there battling for his life. I must save him. Yes, I have to save him. I pulled to my shaky legs. My vision was all blurry because of the tears as I blinked rapidly. The smoke was making my eyes sting. With my heart in my mouth, I rushed towards the house with the intent to save Jason. Just when I was about to shift someone grabbed my arm and yanked me back. "You can't. You'll hurt yourself." The guy said as I shoo
"I heard you told everyone that I was dead?" Jason asked in a deadly voice. Damon seemed to stiffen up hearing his words. So Jason heard it. I was so scared and heartbroken when Damon spouted such rubbish that Jason was dead without even an ounce of evidence. It was like he wanted everyone to give up on Jason. I couldn't even explain in words what I felt at that moment. As a half-brother, Damon was supposed to ask men to continue to look for Jason and not give up so instantly but he started wailing. I don't know if his concern for Jason was genuine because it certainly felt fake and an act but still it crushed me down immensely at that moment. "You are alive. My brother is alive," Damon sobbed happily while wiping his tears with his trembling hand. The smile on his lips was so fake but the tears made it difficult to decipher what his actual emotions were. "Yes, as you see. I'm pretty much alive," Jason rumbled. "I'm so glad. You don't know how weak I felt when I saw half the hou
Julie’s povI couldn't help but hope that nothing happens to Ethan or anyone back at Sofia's house. We found Sofia at the graveyard then how come Sofia's house was set on fire? Was it Ezekiel? It had to be him. It could be that he set the place on fire so there won't be any clue left behind then he came to meet Sofia at the graveyard. It must've happened after Jason and April left the house to get to the graveyard. We've been tailing after Sofia and Ezekiel for the whole night. Though we couldn't see them, we are following through the signs and trails they left behind unknowingly. It was early dawn but the dark grey clouds were rumbling up our heads ready to pour cats and dogs any minute. It would be bad if the rain started. Leon and I haven't shared a word till now. Nor have we got any news back from Jason. All of a sudden Leon rushed back to me only to grab something just an inch away from my neck. It was an arrow. His hand got hurt but he only tsked."Pay attention to your surr
Julie’s povFlashbackYesterdayWhen I first found out Leon was my mate. I couldn't decipher the feelings at first. It was a mixture of happiness and anxiousness but when I realized I'm his second chance mate who looks exactly like his first mate, the one he loved so much. I felt bitter deep in my heart. Not knowing how to face him I just walked out of there because I didn't want anyone to see me cry. I went to the nearby cafe and barged into the restroom. Getting inside the stall I let the tears fall freely. I was balling silently in there. I didn't know for how long I sat there crying. It wasn't like I was looking for my mate or anything but why does it hurt so much knowing he loves his first mate who looks like me? He even thought I was her. All I ever wanted was not to be the second choice of anyone. I'm not my father's first choice for the Alpha position. I'm not Jason's first choice whom my father wants me to marry. And even my mate, I'm not his first choice either. Why does i
April’s povMy head was pounding in pain. It was as if someone was hammering my head violently as it continued to throb. My eyelids felt extremely heavy as if tons of weight were placed on them. No matter how much I tried I couldn't open my eyes. My body felt so light as a feather. I couldn't feel it. Amidst all the chaos within my head. I could feel a soft caress on my head. The mattress under me was soft and it was dipped from my side as if someone was there. The touch was soft, warm, and tender. It strode down from my hair to my cheek before gently stroking my closed eyelids. 'Frea?' I called for her only to hear her muffled hum. She was tired and drained just like me. I could hear faintly, someone calling my name. The voice was deep and full of emotions falling very close to my ear. The desperation in the voice forced me to fight harder against the darkness that consumed me. "Wake up, Angel." That all too familiar voice had my eyes shot opening wide as I wheezed badly as if I
Jason cut the call and was deep in thought. "You okay?" I asked softly as he nodded his head. Jason placed his hand on my forehead checking my temperature. He seemed worried and deep in thought. I realized what he was thinking about. I held his hand in mine and made him look at me. "I had recovered and I could go now, please don't be worried about me," I said, and looked at me surprised because I read his mind. He sighed before pulling my hand to his lips and dropping a kiss at the back of it. "You're still recovering, April. You need rest," he said. His blue eyes were full of concern as I shook my head and scooted closer to him. "I'm fine. It's not like we are going to war or for a fight. It's just we had to talk to Sofia, also I want to know about my ancestors and my bloodline. I want to know where I belong," I insisted. He sighed. "I knew you would make me agree somehow that's why I told Leon we'll be there but you've to promise me you won't work yourself," He said and bobbed
"You think I'm a fool. It doesn't matter if I tell you or not, you'll just end up killing me so what's the use of it?" She said coldly glaring daggers at me. I recalled how she screamed at that wizard that their mission was to kill me. I don't understand her enmity with me. The first time I met her was at the hospital while on rounds to check on the patients. "It's never too late to change, Sofia. We've already lost so many lives. You can atone for your sins by telling us the truth-" I was cut off by her laughter. She was laughing, throwing her head back as if I told her a joke or something. "Sweet of you to think you can coax me but damn, I want to tell you." She mused as her eyes glossed up with all the laughing. The four of us just stared at her. She looked like a maniac with that glint in her eyes. Leon walked over to the corner before he walked over to Julie. "Here, sit down. Don't put your weight on your foot for long," Leon said as Jason and I glanced at them only to find
Her words caused us all to stand there dead silent. My heart pounded in my ears as I pondered her words. She stared at all of us before bursting out a laugh like a maniac, she looked crazy while we heard Beta Fredrick hissing out in pain.I stepped closer to her. "Sofia, you know my ancestors paid a heavy price for what they did," I said hoping to get through to her. "Werewolves nowadays are innocent. They are not the ones who should pay for all that. And you know that you're taking revenge on the innocent who has done nothing wrong to you," I said trying to make her understand but she just rolled her eyes. "F*ck you and these f*cking innocent werewolves. For me, you are all the same. I hate every single one of you and when all the werewolves are wiped from this earth, I'll be content after ages." She said, "You're wrong Sofia. Even if you take your revenge you won't be at peace knowing you killed innocents," I gritted. I was losing my calm with her. "Leon, do you have those thor
