“I see you found Fiona,” The receptionist spoke coldly, a subtle sly smile escaping her lips as she broke the brief tense silence that shrouded the whole room.Instantly, Clark and Aaron simultaneously raised their guns and pointed them at the woman. “Put your hands where I can see them,” Clark commanded, his tone and expression utterly austere. Meanwhile, Fiona all but shrunk behind Aaron, her panic intensifying as she gripped him by the arm. “It’s her!” She exclaimed softly. “She was the one who drugged me and kept me here, saying I must stay if I ever want to find my sister again.” She added, her voice quivering with dismay.Fiona's utterance amplified Clark's anger. His jaw clenched, teeth grinding in utmost scorn, as his finger tightened around the trigger. With the gun pointed directly at the receptionist’s forehead, he moved a step closer. “Is that true?” He demanded, his tone icy cold and menacing.The receptionist's response was a malicious subtle smirk, as she gazed into Cl
Back at Clark. As he was now left alone with the woman to interrogate and torment, he continued, his expression grave. “So this is how this is gonna go.” He began, his gun still pointed at her face.“I'll ask you three questions at once, and you're going to answer them correctly right after. But if I don't like each answer, I'll have to fire another bullet right through that same hole in your knee. Understood?” He stated, his tone resolute and menacing.The Receptionist, who was already sweating profusely and trembling from the pain in her knee joint, struggled to keep her face impassive and tone steady as she answered. “I'm just the receptionist. I know nothing.” Clark squinted his eyes and gritted his jaw in absolute anger as he aimed his gun at her knee to fire again, when the woman’s voice stopped him. “But I do know one thing," she grunted. "I know you’re not going to kill me.” She stated confidently, yet breathing raggedly. “You’re a Silversmith hunter and you would never hurt
It was once a feeling of relief that gripped Aaron's chest after he'd found his sister and carried her in his arms. But after meeting the horrid sight of Nicholas and the innocent life he'd just taken, Aaron's chest became gripped and overwhelmed with rage, burning with an unnerving sense of disdain and the desire to kill Nicholas. The whistling sound of the cool night breeze filled the air and blew everywhere. Yet, it was a hot, stinging air that brushed against his skin, as if his anger was burning off his body like hot steam. At Nicholas’s utterance, “She's mine.” Aaron's teeth clenched so hard that his veins bulged at his temples.He withdrew his blazing glare from Nicholas, and they turned soft as he gazed down on his unconscious sister, looking pale as she lay in his arms.“You ruined her life, Nicholas.” Aaron began, his tone low and heavy with foreboding dread. He slowly lifted up his head to meet Nicholas, his eyes now cold, his face hardened with unwavering scorn for the
As Clark sped down the winding dimly lit road, the twins’ relief at getting Kimberly away from Nicholas was short-lived. Suddenly, the car sputtered and swerved, tires screeching in protest. Clark’s eyes widened as he struggled with the steering wheel to maintain control.“What was that!?” Aaron yelled, bracing himself against the dashboard.“I don't know, but we're losing traction!” Clark exclaimed, his face grim.Suddenly, the car veered off the road, crashing through a makeshift barricade. The twins exchanged stunned glances as they took in the scene: a sabotaged bridge, twisted metals, broken tree branches and concrete blocking their path.Kimberly, who was still lying half asleep on the backseat, had firmly held onto the seat before her, bracing herself against falling from the swerving of the car. Once the car came to rest, she deliberately put down her legs on the car floor and sat erect, her movements unsteady. “What…what's happening?” she asked with a weak voice.Aaron turne
Fiona’s eyes widened in terror as Nicholas’s words hung in the air, his burning gaze igniting an unyielding wave of submission within her. Yet, she felt a cold shiver run down her spine as his hand remained on her neck, his touch both soothing and unsettling.“What...what do you mean?” Fiona stammered, trying to process the Alpha’s declaration.Nicholas let out a subtle but foreboding smile as he spoke coolly to her. “You are mine now, Fiona. My pack, my protection, my servant. You will do my bidding, and in return, I won't only be giving your life a purpose, but you'll also be stronger and more fierce than you could ever imagine.”Fiona gulped hard, her mind reeling as she struggled to comprehend the Alpha’s words. “No...I won't,” she whispered, a spark of defiance igniting within her.Nicholas’s jaw tightened a frown.“No?” He asked, his voice steady but icy cold. “You don't have a choice. But do not worry, you will learn.” He let go of her neck and stood above her. Looking down at
Sheila sank her fangs into Kimberly’s ankle and raced through the dense woods, her massive paws barely touching the ground as if she were running mid-air with her supernatural speed. When suddenly she abruptly slowed down and came to a halt.She unsunk her fangs from Kimberly’s limb, and Kimberly came crashing to the gravelly ground, her body brushing against the pebbles, leaves, and broken twigs on the forest ground.Ignoring Kimberly, who clutched her affected leg as she reeled from the utterly agonizing pain, Sheila narrowed her eyes, slightly jerking her head to the left. In her mind, she shut out Kimberly’s painful groans as she stood quietly, her wolf ears perking up in alertness, her amber eyes piercing past the trees and gazing clearly into the dimly lit mainroad.She stood tall in portentous silence as if listening to the wind. She mentally stifled the sounds that seemed to distract her. Sounds like the wind blowing softly against h
Few moments back, when Kimberly had bitten Aaron, unaware of the drastic harm it could cause, Clark had sprinted to his brother’s side.The utterly agonizing pain of her bite had scared the crap out of Aaron as he reeled from the torment, wheezing as the muscles in his arms constricted tightly. His eyes burned red with intense pain, and with the thought of the implications haunting him in his mind.“What have you done, Kimberly…” Clark whispered as he gazed in horror, at the macabre wound on his brother’s arm, which was already seeping black blood.It was a known fact: That the hunter's blood was completely immune to Lycanthropy, but that was not the issue in this case. The major issue was another fact of life and death —A werewolf bite was not only excruciatingly painful to Hunters, but it could also cause instant death as long as the venom from the werewolve’s fangs is coursing through the victim's blood.However, these hunters, especi
Clark stormed away, gaiting past the now empty spot he had left Aaron. He stormed back to the car, his anger simmering like a pot about to boil over. As he approached, he spotted Aaron by the side of the car, trying to get a call through the car dispatch, his face illuminated by the faint glow of Clark’s phone screen. Clark’s boots crunched on the gravel as he strode towards the driver’s seat. “That’s no longer necessary, let's go home, Aaron,” He growled, his voice low and somber.Aaron’s eyes widened in confusion as he turned to face Clark. “What do you mean? What happened?” he pressed, his voice laced with concern. “Where is Kimberly?”Clark’s face twisted in a scowl as he started the engine. “I gave her a choice, just like you wanted,” he began, his tone dripping with bitterness. “I told her to choose between our family and Nicholas …” He paused, as if replaying the event in his mind. The silence that followed was oppressive, punctuated only by the sound of their steady breathin
