Kieran~~Everything had been like a fever dream. Nimue and I found ourselves in my father's study, looking to uncover similar secrets. The way she seemed to be drawing closer to me made me oddly excited, and I couldn't help teasing her at any opportunity I got.However, what I hadn't expected was the revelation I uncovered from my father's hidden documents in his study. The documents were hospital records of my mother's illness, as well as copies of written statements from my father to the Alpha council about the 'Luna's' disheartening demise.My... My mother was dead. I'd thought something was wrong with my father's silence about her whereabouts, but I'd never expected him to be evil enough to hide it from me. I never got to say goodbye...No! I'll confront the bastard once and for all.Meanwhile, should we talk about the kiss with Nimue? Cause fuck, it was electric! I'd never felt so alive in a long time. Kissing Lucille always felt like I was forcing myself to eat a meal I didn't
"Make me, father," I stated defiantly, my eyes fixed on my father's retreating back. He paused in his tracks, turning slowly to look at me. "Go make yourself useful, Kieran. But if you want to waste your time on meaningless chatter, that's fine. Just don't waste my time alongside it." He uttered.Once again, he was ignoring me. Once again he was treating me like I was of little or no importance. But this would be the last time. I'd be damned if I didn't make him regret neglecting me for so long. He turned to leave, his guards walking behind him but I sped toward them. The guards noticed on time and tried stopping me. "Lycan Kieran, halt !" One of them ordered, drawing out a taser gun.But I soon showed the idiot why I was 'Lycan' in the first place. The moment the guard pointed the taser gun at my head, I punched his wrist, snapping it in the process. He screamed in pain, but I didn't stop there, hitting his chest with another punch before I grabbed his arm and flung him to the g
The drive to school on Monday morning the next week was agonizing. Nimue joined me and I didn't even complain. Perhaps there was trouble in paradise with her and Jin...I sniggered to myself at that thought but kept quiet, my mind still processing the events of the weekend. Apart from the revelation of my mother's death and my lost Lycan title, I still had my suspicions about Jin, especially after Lucille said he saw him covered in blood where he stood on the balcony of Nimue's room. "Ugh, are we still thinking about that?" Scratch commented inside my head. I could almost picture his eye roll as he continued. "It's well known that Lucille is incompetent in anything she does. She probably didn't see Jin clearly that night."While that was true, Lucille was still a werewolf and still had the eyesight of one. There was no way she could've made such a mistake.I shook my head. The scent of blood that night made me know a human had probably been killed there. In Nimue's room. She should
Everything had happened so fast. I didn't have any time to react and even if I did, the white light had been so bright that by the time I opened my eyes, Nimue was gone. Kidnapped. "She couldn't have just disappeared." Scratch snarled inside my head, equally vexed about our mate's kidnap. Our minds were in sync and in that moment, a howl escaped my mouth as my bones began snapping. Within a couple of seconds, I fully shifted into Scratch's wolf form and howled before racing down the bleachers.I got to the field below in a matter of seconds and began sniffing into the air with my heightened wolf smell. I was able to pick up Nimue's scent but it ended on the field grounds. It was almost as if she... Disappeared. 'Magic?' I thought to myself as I slowly shifted back into my human form.My clothes were now torn but I ignored that as I went into thought. "Crap, it all makes sense now," I muttered, rubbing my forehead with frustration. "Her abductors were witches!"The white light ha
Nimue~~I blinked repeatedly, unable to believe the message on my phone screen. Kieran wanted us to meet after the end of lectures today. At the abandoned football field. No matter how hard I thought about it, it still seemed like a bad idea and even Umbra agreed with that thought."How sure are you that it's Kieran who sent that? You don't even have his number and the caller ID is unknown." He pointed out in my head. As for Luna, she scoffed. "Please! You're just saying that because you don't want things to work out between Kieran and Nimue." She uttered with certainty.Umbra responded with disdain. "No, I'm saying that because I don't want us to get in trouble or worse. I think it's better if we call the number and confirm if it's really –"Before Umbra could finish his statement, Nadia turned back and called me. "Hello? Earth to Nimue?" Her voice brought me out of my trance as I blinked, staring awkwardly at Nadia who had a worried expression on her face. "You blanked out the
Soon enough, the chuckle became an echo of laughter, overwhelming me as I looked around erratically trying to find its source. Just then, I remembered my mother's words about the existence of curses and witches. My Dual-wolf curse was a result of a witch placing a curse on me. Witches existed but throughout my stay in Pureblood College, I'd never come across one. Until now, apparently."Gosh, are they going to be like the movies and give you a poisoned apple so they can steal your beauty?" Luna gasped Inside me, her tone exuding genuine worry. But I ignored her, waiting to hear what Umbra had to say instead. "Something tells me whatever this is... It has something to do with your Dual-wolf curse." He uttered solemnly. Scared beyond words, I asked him mentally. 'Well, what are you waiting for? Let's shift.'However, no matter how much I tried to connect with my wolves and will myself to shift, it wasn't working. It was almost as if something was suppressing them, preventing me fro
The owner of the voice stepped into the room through an open entrance. It was the man in black armor that I'd seen before I passed out!Apart from the black armor that made him look like a knight, he also had brown hair and sharp green eyes as well as a chiseled face with sideburns. I'd always said Jin and Kieran both looked like they were personally crafted by gods but this man looked like a god himself! He looked like he was in his mid-thirties, but something told me he was older. However, apart from his looks, there was an odd sense of familiarity that bubbled inside me when he turned his sharp gaze to me. That feeling only increased when I saw his gaze soften while looking at me.Anyway, the witch who'd been about to slap me before the man's interruption pulled away from me, turning her gaze to the man who approached in majestic strides."Marcel... I was merely trying to discipline the girl. It's not my fault that she has an..." She paused, bringing her fingers to my cheeks. Her
My mouth opened and closed repeatedly as I tried to process what I just heard. The words echoed in my mind, a jarring reminder of why I was shocked in the first place."I am your father." Marcel had said with such conviction and confidence that made the shock inside me turn into rage. How dare he? How dare he soil my father's name? My actual father was long dead!"Now I know you're insane!" I spat, my voice quivering with unbridled rage. "My real father is dead. Killed on a trip when I was still a young girl. And I've interacted with that man long enough to know that you look nothing like him."Marcel looked genuinely confused, arching his eyebrows as he scrutinized me. It was as if he was trying to gauge if I was lying. Why the heck would I be lying?"Wait..." Marcel scoffed, raising his hand as a thoughtful expression dawned on his face. "Don't tell me your so-called 'father' is Conan La Key?" A cold shiver went down my spine. How did this creep know my father's name?!Hesitantly
