Night came. What I heard from Ulva confused my mind even more. I told myself that I must have made up my mind to leave and move away, but the thought of leaving without saying goodbye made my heart ache.Ulva was correct; I might be the key to breaking the curse that had been placed on Knight. But didn't they also say, that things are meant to happen? Is there anything I can do to make this all go away?"We have to leave." Lucas said to me.While Erin listens quietly, Ulva just looks at us seriously. My things are ready. The only thing waiting is our departure."It's fine. We can just leave tomorrow. " Erin consoled me.She just thinks that I'm not well or that I might be waiting for Knight to come back or something. Little did she know that there was a bigger picture in that."The moon is high up. We have to leave as soon as possible." Lucas then contradicted Erin.Erin glared at him, and he didn't even react to that. I sighed heavily and glanced at Ulva."Will you be staying here?"
I remember it clearly. Erin and I once watched this drama where the protagonists wished for the first fall of snow because they believed that with every fall of snow, a wish might be granted and a lie could be forgiven.I'm a strong believer. And so that night, I wished Ulva could find her way back home, and she wished for me to forgive Knight for all the lies he told me and chose to hide from me. And I held on to that."I'll face him," Ulva said seriously.I quickly turned to her and grabbed her arm. She eyed me with her hawk like eyes."No, it's dangerous. The last time you saw each other, he almost killed you. I'm sure he won't think twice about killing you now. " My tone was desperate."W-what the hell is happening, Athena?" Erin snapped now, looking ahead where Meshka was holding a weapon."He has brought it. Where the hell did he get that? "I don't know who Lucas is talking to, but Ulva seems to understand it."He might have gotten that from the augur. I need to face him. You g
"Kill me, just fvcking kill me." My voice cracked. I lost my strength already."Not yet," he mercilessly said.The rushing sound of footsteps echoed through the forest. I closed my eyes tightly when I felt the strong wind that seemed to pass, and there was a faint whirlwind due to the strength of the footsteps."Right on time." And then I heard Meshka's voice.When I opened my eyes, I saw the Knight, who was half naked. My heart skipped a bit. He was standing a few meters away, behind Meshka.My lips parted, seeing him here in flesh. He looked fictional, or at least that's what's embedded in my mind. The last time I saw him, he had shifted into a wolf. I saw how the ritual happened and I could almost say that it traumatized me.Until now, I still couldn't say that this is not a dream. Now that he was here in front of me, it still seemed like a dream.I know that there's a crack between us already. But I never thought that after all that I witnessed and after all the truth that I got t
I slashed her with the sword. I can't believe she would do that. My limbs trembled. I let go of the sword while looking at Ulva, who was now headed by Grendel."Ulva! Ulva!" He called her. Her head rested on his hands and thighs.She looked at him with half opened eyes. I covered my lips seeing her in that disposition. No, this is not true."You'll be the death of me, Meshka!" Grendel's voice thundered.I glanced at Meshka, who's dazed right now. I can see in his eyes that he didn't expect that to happen either. Isn't this what he wants? Doesn't he have any love for his brother?He slowly retreated. Louder footsteps woke him up. He slowly stepped back until he fully ran away when he shifted into wolf form. Knight tried to come after him, but it was too late.Knight cast a worried look at me before turning his gaze to Ulva."Grendel, bring her to the healer as soon as possible. Lucas, you should tell Amos about this. Quick! "I feel so stupid. I cannot believe all that’s happening. My
It's so ironic. On a cold winter night, my father saw Knight in the woods, here in the same place, and he saved him. That started the curse.The moment Knight left his pack, the curse materialized. My father was sent to prison. I had to find money. Peter found him and made him our target. I met him in a bar. Something happened. I fooled him. No, I fell in love with him.And I can't believe that it's all meant to happen. I feel like I'm being played with. It's not good to feel as if your life was a joke or something. It's like you're in a show and someone is controlling your life.Imagine how frustrating it is for Knight, especially. For sure an alpha man like him would be under someone's verdict and desire. For sure it was hard for him.What he said was true. If we kept on running away, it would never end. The same things will occur consistently. Bree died, and so did Ulva. How many lives must be lost before all is at peace? One's life in exchange for everyone's life? Am I thinking ab
I can't explain the rage Knight showed seconds after Meshka was caught and killed himself in front of him.His naked body flexed in the cold night. He walked back holding his head, controlling his anger, but he couldn't contain it. He walked back and forth, continuously roaring and shouting his anger out.I covered my mouth with my hands to stop the sound of my sobbing. My eyes blur as I watch him become miserable.He had the choice in his hands. If I were in his position, I would be able to kill Meshka because of my anger. But he didn't do that. He was his friend, and for sure that's what was on his mind as well.No matter how evil Meshka was, he never wanted him to die. He wanted peace. He wanted to sort things out without bloodshed. But things didn't go his way."Fuck! Fvck! Argh!"I sobbed, seeing him that way. He punched his chest, grabbed his hair, and roared loudly until he shifted into his wolf.My eyes, although they were blurry, were still able to comprehend what was happeni
We stopped in the middle of the forest. We stopped at a stone house, and it was alone in the deserted forest.I silently scanned the abandoned looking house. The floor creates noise due to its fragility. At the entrance, we were greeted by a wooden door. Knight opened it up and let me come inside before he came after me."Whose house is this?" I asked.Inside is the old equipment. Everything was there, the bed, the table, the scattered and dirty utensils in the kitchen. It appears to have been abandoned."We used to stay here when we were still young and wandering around the forest." he answered.I glanced at him. "We?"He nodded and avoided my gaze. I dropped my gaze to the floor because I got what he meant. He definitely misses his friends; not only is it obvious to him, but I know how fresh it is for him.I was only with them for a while, and just hearing their story made me sick. How much more for him? For someone like him, who had kept it all inside for so long, they are the ones
That kiss intensified. From gentle kisses, it became fiery and longing. Our lips fought. I don't know if it's because we've been through so much that we're so thirsty for each other.But the only thing I know now is that I want to make him feel how much I love him. As I've said a while ago, I want to be selfish just this once. I want to love him without thinking about anything. I want to show him how much I love him without holding back.The way he held me with care was different from his aggressive kisses. I resisted his kisses. The coldness I felt earlier now has been replaced by a warmth that caresses not only my skin but also my heart.His hands roamed around my neck and down my body. Now he is slowly getting up and positioning himself in front of me. I moaned, feeling his mouth suck my neck lightly.This scene is strange, especially in light of the past events. I loved him and it hurts me so badly.He stopped and sniffled my neck, smelling whatever it was, probably the smell of s
