Kieran ~~ "Can you drive any faster?!" I yelled, glaring at Jin who had a calm expression on his face as he drove us in his car to the moon knows where. Seriously, how could he be so calm while Nimue's life was potentially in danger as we speak? Who knows what those witches were doing to her? Anyway, Jin gave me a demeaning side eye, completely ignoring me. I was about to yell at him yet again, but he beat me to it. "Can you relax?" He asked with a sigh. "Nimue will be fine. It's not even been up to an hour, I doubt those witches would've done anything to harm her by now. Besides, would you prefer we have a road accident while trying to find her?" I groaned in frustration, placing my focus back on the road and ignoring his obviously sarcastic question. Jin clicked his tongue, increasing his speed by just a little. "Didn't think so." He muttered, pausing for a while before adding. "By the way, have you tried calling her number again to see if her kidnappers will pick up?"
Loki's brows creased as he folded his arm in front of his chest, going into thought. I was beginning to think he wasn't as experienced as Jin said until he faked a cough, drawing our attention to him."Did you at least bring any item from the scene of the kidnap?" He arched a brow expectantly as he asked. Darn it, why hadn't I thought of that?I sighed and was about to explain that we could go back to the stadium to get something, but Jin spoke first."Here..." He brought out something from his pocket and handed it over to Loki. "This should be enough, right?"My frown only deepened when I saw what he'd given Loki. It was a small bag of dirt. When did he find the time to collect that?"Why yes, this will do, Jin." Loki nodded his head with a satisfied smirk before he turned his gaze to me. "You should stick to Jin more. He seems more... Innovative."My face heated up in embarrassment but I kept my gaze on Loki as he walked away from us and went into an inner room. I was about to foll
When I dropped the call, Jin glanced at me. "Who was that?" He asked after he placed his attention back on the road.I grunted in response, waving my hand dismissively. "It doesn't matter, dude. Just get us out of this fucking southern district already so we'll know the next step to take in finding Nimue." My tone was plain, leaving no room for further conversation.The silence that followed was nearly suffocating, but I shook my head and ignored it. I had other things to bother myself with. Other people...Finally, we got to Dad's mansion and I quickly stepped out of the car. However, Jin remained seated in his car and gave me a bob of his head. "I'll have to inform the Alpha council of our latest findings. I'll advise you to inform your father, too." He suggested, his face as stoic as usual.I blinked at him, unable to believe that he'd even suggest it. Me, tell my father that Nimue had been kidnapped under my watch? He'd have my head if he found out, no cap.Anyway, I didn't resp
The next morning, I woke up feeling woozy. I hadn't been able to get enough sleep last night cause I was busy worrying about Nimue.When I fully opened my eyes, however, I almost jumped out of my bed when I met Jin staring at me with a grin on his face. I drew in a deep breath before I snapped at him. “Dude, what the heck is wrong with you? Have you heard of this thing called ‘boundaries’?" I asked with a sarcastic tone.To my annoyance, he simply shrugged before he spoke. “Enough of this. Look at the time.” He brought out his phone and showed me. Hold up, this wasn't the ‘next morning’. It was already twelve in the afternoon. Gosh, I hadn't been able to sleep throughout the night but ended up oversleeping in the morning.I rubbed my forehead before I let out a sigh. “How did your meeting with the Alpha council go yesterday?” I asked, getting up and heading to the bathroom. I guess we won't be going to school today.Speaking of which, I picked up my phone close to my bed and scoffed
“What the fuck was that?” I exclaimed as I gently stepped away from the tree and brought out my binoculars. However, when I pointed them at the duplex, I was stunned by what I saw.There was a large hole at the side of the building and several masked figures were jumping in. Among those masked figures were werewolves and witches… which I could tell due to the spells the witches cast and how some werewolves shifted before sprinting into the building through the hole. They seemed to all be part of the same group, but that wasn't my main concern. “Nimue…” I muttered to myself as I thought of what to do. That explosion should've completely thrown her kidnappers off balance, but what could these new people want?“This whole thing is because of her Dual wolf nature.” Scratch suddenly said the smartest thing he'd ever said in a while. “We need to find a way to sneak into the building.”Yeah, obviously…I began thinking of so many ideas at once, but eventually, I settled on one. My lips
Nimue~~"Our protection spells are down!" One of the hooded witches exclaimed as they all finally broke their interlocked hands.I gasped heavily, trying to catch my breath from the effects of the spell they'd been casting on me right before the explosions."Umbra? Umbra are you there?" I called out to my wolf but got no response. Desperate, I also reached out to my other wolf. "Luna? Luna, come on, girl, we have to find a way out of here."Still no response. My stomach tightened as I feared the worst. The best-case scenario is that the ritual had probably severed my link with my wolves... Temporarily. The worst-case scenario was, that the witches might've already taken–"They're here for her!" Theodora hollered all of a sudden, her tone cold. I glanced at her just in time to see her turning her gaze to my father, who'd begun moving closer to me. "This is why I never wanted you affiliated with our coven in the first place. Do you know how many other witches and werewolves out there
As I threaded through the dark hallways of the house, I still struggled mentally to connect with my wolves again. To hear their annoying, nagging voices again. But no matter how much I tried, they didn't respond to my calls. I could still feel them but it was almost as if there was a wall separating me from them.“I have to get out of here before I transform to my… to my male form,” I muttered to myself as the sound of explosions from spells, howls from wolves, as well as the clanging of swords and the occasional gunshots, resounded from downstairs. It was utter chaos down there and it was quite obvious that the people attacking the witches were also after me. Just when I got to the hardwood stairs leading to the ground floor, I came to a halt when I met a hooded witch in a heated fight against a man who gave off the scent of a werewolf. The witch was struggling due to the close quarters of the fight but still managed to hold her own against the physically superior werewolf with h
I blinked in shame when Kieran stared at me, stunned with his mouth agape as he tried to comprehend what was before him.Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore and broke into tears, my body racking with sobs and my annoying voice, which had been deepened in my male form, cracking as I tried to find my words.I knew it! I knew no normal man would accept me in this accursed male form of mine! ARGH, I should've run away from here when I had the chance.I should've left Kieran behind and spared him the trauma of seeing me in this... In this hideous form!"What are you talking about? Even Jin has told you your male form is beautiful." Trust Umbra to come in support of this madness in my head.I scoffed, looking away from Kieran and about to give him some space when he suddenly spoke."N– Nimue?" He stuttered, still looking at me with a stunned expression. But then he shook his head and muttered. "Is... Is that really you?"My mouth quivered as I struggled to say something. But I couldn't
