Lisa PoV"Oh my god," I laughed as I ripped through the forest.My paw was hitting the ground with such ferocity that it felt like the ground was shaking and would tear into two at any moment. I was running with such incredible speed that the forest zipped past me in a blur. It was incredible. All my senses were extremely heightened to the extent that I could hear and see the entire forest. The chirping of crickets, the tweeting of birds, the panting of a deer; I could even hear a bunch of squirrels scurrying up a tree.I have never felt so alive, so free. I felt like I had absolutely no worry in the world. That was the third time that I was transformed into a wolf, and it still felt like the first time."Enjoying the ride?" Nessa chuckled."You know I am," I laughed.It was such a wonder that I had such an amazing gift inside of me, and I was just experiencing it now."Not to worry," Nessa laughed, "we have so much time to spend together. I smell a river nearby, let’s check it out."
Axel PoVAnger flared within me as I stared at White Wolf. He was talking, but I no longer hear a word of whatever he was saying. I was too irritated to listen. All I wanted was results, instead, I’m getting excuses."She’s been really hard to track," he was saying, "she’s always moving. It’s almost like she knows that someone’s after her…"Of course, she knows I’m after her," I snapped at him while I struggled to keep my anger from exploding, "she escaped from the cage I put her in, and she knows I’ll stop at nothing to put her there.""I understand," he quickly apologized, "but what’s so important about this girl? I mean, you’re a powerful Alpha of a slightly large pack, you could have any girl you want. Why stay hooked on this runaway girl?""White Wolf," I growled, "you’re one second away from provoking me into a fit of ravenous anger. State the reason for your presence.""I came to inform you that I need more money. I got a new lead that I intend to explore. I’m sure I’ll find he
Klaus PoV"This is getting out of hand," Aurora called out as she splattered oil all over the pan. She was in the middle of making breakfast, yet, all her thoughts were centered on Axel's erratic actions."I know, babe," I replied as I set the table, "but there's nothing I can do.""What do you mean there's nothing you can do?" she raised her voice louder than the sizzling sound of the frying eggs. It was bacon and eggs for breakfast, my favorite. “You're the beta. The pack looks up to you.""And he's the Alpha," I replied, "the pack owes their loyalty to him.""Then maybe he should no longer be the Alpha, and the pack should swear their loyalty to someone that truly cares about them. Not an Alpha that would turn around to torture the same people he swore to protect."Aurora had a deep scowl on her face as she entered the dining room with two sets of plates perfectly balanced on her arms."Babe, what you're suggesting is ludicrous," I scoffed, "that's a rebel, anyone who tries that w
Maximo PoVI clearly remember the night I escaped my tower.Unlike the fairytales adults tell little cubs around the bonfire, I was not guarded by a fiery, fire-breathing dragon. I was guarded by ferocious wolves who were ordered to kill me if I ever tried to escape. And guess who gave the order.“Dear old daddy," I muttered, glancing at the moon goddess statue, "well, I don't blame him. I really don't. I did rip out the heart of his dearly beloved mistress on my way out of her womb.“Don't give me that face," I scoffed at the statue, "it was not my fault. Some dandy witch cursed my pregnant mother in order to send a deadly message to the king. Unfortunately, I was growing in her belly when she was cursed and the curse ran its course on me, rather than my mother.”“I know," I poured myself another drink made from the pear fruit I collected when I wandered outside the previous night, "I've told you my tragic story about a dozen times already. But what else have we got to talk about?”“
Axel PoV"I know you know where he is," I scowled deeply while I fired up the electrical lighter, "all you need to do is to tell me and this torture will stop.""Please," his pleas were muffled, "I don't know where my son is. He told no one of his disappearance, not even his wife. He just packed his bags all of a sudden and disappeared.""Lies!" I slammed my hand on the table, and the knives and blades that were carefully laid out on it rattled, "lies, that's what you have been feeding me. Perhaps, our friendly chat last night wasn't enough motivation for you to talk. Perhaps this is enough motivation."“Please, stop.”But stopping was the last thing on my mind. All I needed was answers, and I was going to get them.I ignored his screams as I presses the lighter against his skin, burning him until his flesh began to smell like roasted meat. And I was not done. I laced the burn wound with wolfsbane, and his screams turned to wails of agony. Werewolves are tough, but not against fire. A
Lisa PoV“You do realize I deserve an explanation, right?” I was in my human form, “we’ve been running for days and you still won’t tell me what exactly we’re running away from.”“It’s complicated?”“Complicated? Seriously, girl, you’re not playing that game with me. Spill, Now!”“Fine,” Nessa sighed, “don’t get all dramatic on me. I felt a pull.”“A pull?”“Yea, I know how it sounds, but I certainly felt a strange sensation that I wasn’t comfortable with. And we needed to get away from there.”Nessa was clearly agitated. I’d never felt her edge on before. In fact, she seemed scared.“Are you scared?”“I’m not,” she replied sharply, and I immediately sensed that she was.I wondered what could scare Nessa so much. She’s my wolf. My strength. If anything could scare me, then what was going to happen to me?“Well,” I replied gently, “can we stop running now? You’ve totally run me to the bone and I’m totally exhausted. I can’t even transform anymore.”“Well, I can’t feel it anymore, so I
Maximo PoVIt felt weird, being responsible for someone else.Since my birth, I’ve only looked out for myself and no one else. Well, that might not be entirely true because I’ve felt responsible for this silly prophetic child since I had her parents killed, albeit not directly. But now, I have to lead her safely back to the cave.“You’re so lucky I found you when I did,” I mumbled to the unconscious girl strapped on my back while I slowly picked my way back to the cave.“You aren’t so lucky though,” I chuckled softly, “cos you’re still going to die. I just need to get you back to the cave so I can easily shed your precious blood all over the fake goddess.”“But why,” I continued talking to an unconscious girl that couldn’t possibly hear anything I said, “why did my wolf lead me to you? And what do you have inside you that’s enough to pull me to you?”All these questions ruminated in my head with no answers.Right after I’d sent my servant on his first mission, I decided to wander the
Lisa PoVGood morning sleepyhead, Mom’s voice as always was soft and soothing, you had so much fun last night you slept past your bedtime.“Mom?”My eyes flew open when I heard her voice. There she was, sitting right in front of me with a wide smile on her face. She was dressed in a red, flowing gown. I recognized the dress. It was her favorite, and she wore it on special occasions. It was the same gown she wore on the day…“What’s going on?’ I mumbled.My head was pounding really hard as I tried to make sense of what was going on. I looked around and found out that I was in my room, just as I remembered it. The music box, my favorite toy, was playing my favorite tune while the ballerina on top of it danced slowly. The ballerina looked exactly like me. Dad designed it like that. He was a master craftsman after all. Despite the happiness that surged within me for being surrounded by familiar things, I felt something was wrong. I was not supposed to be here.“What are you doing here?” I
