Maya That man had heard it all. Seeing the knowing glint in his red gaze that he directed at them, there was no doubt in her mind that he knew, and somehow that scared her. Why that was, she did not know. Her partner in crime was none other than her savior, and he had given her a purpose, something she never had before. But, a cold premonition warned her that something bad was about to happen. Surely, Nathan had come to kill the girl she loved. A chill ran through her heart at the thought. Goodness, please don't! "Nathaniel-" Maya started in a thin, tight voice. "Nathan! What are you doing here?" Karen interrupted, not sensing any tension between her enemy and her maid. ****** Karen Twisting her body, she moved from Helga's lap and hurried to her feet. Facing Nathan, whose gaze seemed to be full of dark humor, she took a defensive stance, while inside her mind she felt worried. What if she used her spiritual energy and her wolf aura energy interfered again? At the thought, she
Maya She stumbled back but was restrained by the clawed hands protruding from her belly. Staring at it uncomprehendingly, Maya gripped it with one hand. Blood spilled from her mouth, wetting her chin as she followed the claw back to its source. Wide eyes, filled with confusion, met his crimson gaze. "Na...tha...niel?" she whimpered, more blood spilling from her mouth, coating her tongue with a coppery flavor. He smirked evilly at her. "You're really surprised, aren't you? You believed every word I told you." He said this as if it surprised him a little. "I don't... don't understand..." "No? Let me explain your confusion. I lied." Maya blinked uncomprehendingly at his confession. "Rylan and his misbehavior are not what you believe. I am not what you believe me to be. All the bad things you accused me of are true. And there are many more." "No... No!" It can't be true, she thought wildly, her nails clutching at the hand that was stabbing her. But, looking into those evil eyes,
Karen Before both of them could move, suddenly bones cracked, ribs split flesh with a horrendous slashing sound, and blood splattered everywhere as Maya's chest cavity split open, and something black crawled out. Hot liquid splashed over her dress, on her face, and in her hair, drenching her in sticky blood. And all she could do was blink and stare wide-eyed at the flesh that used to be Maya's chest. A strangled sound, a shock of pain that shook his living body. She lifted her horrified gaze to meet with Maya's. She also almost choked, not because of the pungent scent of blood and flesh, but because of the bewildered green eyes staring at her as if Maya could not believe what was happening to her. Almost like a lost child looking for answers. A scream filled her throat as she saw the shattered lungs trying to breathe and the shredded heart still trying to beat, only managing to kill Maya faster with more blood coming out of her body. Karen had seen many gruesome things before as sh
Xavier He never thought that he would mate with Karen who was a hybrid, like fate was playing with him, he mated with a hybrid because of a competition that he organized himself. Even though he refused to mate with a hybrid, but because Karen was a hybrid, he couldn't have her as his mate, which would have caused a threat. Hybrid mates could not take over Luna's position from the Westwood Pack. There were some rules and agreements that even he could not break. But for now, that kind of thing didn't really matter. The only thing that mattered was that he saved Karenina. He had to resist or be consumed by the sadness that was starting to creep into him. He couldn't afford to lose Karen. Not now. Not after everything they had... Or what they could have had. For a while, no one spoke, but everyone was thinking the same thing. Was Karen dead? No! Xavier growled inwardly. The wolf in him resisted that, screaming for him to save his mate immediately. Out of the blue, he clearly felt so
Xavier A movement caught his attention at the mouth of the small cave and out of it came a woman wearing a familiar dress, a ruby red stain was also drawn on her face, her dark brown hair matted in places from the drying blood. There were no visible wounds on the woman he was so intimately familiar with. Perhaps seeing his perplexity, Nathan spoke up. "Don't worry, Alpha. The blood is not hers. Though, I'm afraid that you are already too late if you want to see Maya. We had a... Well, a little disagreement, if you know." His sarcasm did not go unnoticed by Xavier. Although he did not know why or how Maya was dead. So much blood had soaked Karen that he wondered if Karen had killed the she-wolf. He hadn't thought about that possibility, not when his eyes caught the physical changes in the woman he cherished so muc
Xavier ‘If I can't find and remove the fragment, then I will eliminate Nathan's control.’ With grim resolve emanating from his golden-colored eyes, he rushed to confront Karen, responding to her attack when she returned to attack him, or so it seemed at first. Instead, he somersaulted over her head at the last second, landing a few meters behind her, and before she could turn around and attack him again, Xavier snapped her wrist, using the rope that had been thrown from his hand with controlled accuracy. As Karen turned to face him, he moved around her, immobilizing her arms to her sides, and then pulling her arms back as he lunged at her. Catching her near his chest, he easily locked her against him, controlling her attempts to break free. With his arm still around her and the other arm wrapped around her waist, Xavier used his free hand and dug his fingers into the blood clot at the back of her head, forcing her head back at a painful angle, making it impossible for her to move h
Karen That's for sure. Xavier was right. Then her eyes narrowed on Nathan. Although Xavier had stolen more than she could have imagined, Nathan was still her enemy, and although she did not remember anything that happened after her conversation with Nathan until she woke up in Xavier's arms, she was not stupid. Although her spiritual energy was gone, perhaps gone forever, somehow she could still sense the fragments of the sacred moonstone. There was a large piece that belonged to Nathan, nestled in his chest, in what should have been his heart, but there were two separate fragments inside of her. She could practically sense their dark presence deep in her chest, dark and riddled with corruption. Nathan had played this game many times before, not only controlling Karen in the past but also many other people he controlled using the damaged fragments. She didn't know what she had done while under Nathan's control, but from the scent of Xavier's blood, and Nathan's blood on her nails, it
Karen Xavier stood slightly hunched over, his fine hair flowing around his angelic face, almost hiding his expression from her. Blood dripped down across his chin from his mouth - a mouth that she couldn't help but remember kissing and getting lost in - but what brought tears to her eyes was the dagger that had stabbed him in the back, protruding out of his body for her to see. While his blades were partially sheathed in the ground, a line where the daggers had cut into the ground was beyond them, as if he was trying to use his daggers to stop his forward motion. One dagger was stuck in his right leg, stuck firmly, most likely adding to the pain that he was experiencing. Another dagger dug into his left shoulder, and another pierced his left side. A large amount of blood stained his white shirt. Staring into the face of the man she was growing t
