Hello everyone Where do I even start from I'm sorry for not updating for a long while. I'll focus and finish this book now that I'm back to it. Enjoy!
BALINThe elder who stood before me was blabbing about the usual nonsense that had become his custom for the past two days reminding me that I only had three more days before they would choose a Luna for me.I have never been more tempted to kill someone of high status. He may be a great elder but this was my pack, he was on my soil and I happened to be the Alpha who made the rules here.“Is there someone yet?” He asked, his voice echoing in the dim roomI leaned back on my chair, my gaze returning to the plate of meat on the table, carefully cutting a piece and stuffing it into my mouth, the spicy taste making me groan.“No” I answered simply as I cut another piece with the cutlery.His fists clenched by his side, a small gesture which my sharp eyes caught and I smiled to myself. He was probably tired of me. He had been assigned to meet me every day to speak to me and my robotic answers were getting on his nerves already. I had given him the same answer for the last two days and he wa
ALICIA He looked a bit confused but the confusion soon morphed into a scowl. He didn't look surprised to see me anymore, he looked irritated.I couldn't dwell on that, I had come here for something so his mood didn't really matter to me.It had been a while since the useless mermaid went missing and even though I didn't know where she was, I was going to make sure that she never made it back alive.“Balin,” I said, forcing a smile.He muttered something incoherent under his breath and pushed his empty plate aside.“I don't like visitors when I'm eating” he said gruffly as he stared at me over.I blinked rapidly and tried to keep a passive expression on my face“You're done eating” I noted, my gaze turning to the empty plate on the neatly laid out table.His eyes darkened.“Indeed I am done but what if I hadn't been done eating? You could never have known,” Irritation was clear in his tone at this point and I was beginning to wonder if I had made the right decision by coming here.“Bu
MARILYNIt was already evening, I had spent a long time in my room, staring at my reflection in the mirror.The sound of swords clashing outside made me sigh. The warriors were sparring.I should go join them instead of spending my time here doing nothing but I didn't want to stand up at this moment.Sighing, I reached for the antique black comb on the dresser and gently drove it through my hair, untangling the knots that had formed After brushing it for a few minutes, I set it back on the table and stared at my reflection in the mirror. I didn't look any better than when I was in bold bite pack. There was only one difference. This version of me was stronger and didn't care about the opinion of others. I would prove to them that I was strong.Well if I wasn't going to train this evening, I might as well put my room in order. Standing up, I went to the bed when a knock sounded.“Come in,” I said, irritated.The door was pushed open and a maid walked in noiselessly.“Miss Marilyn,” the
BALINThere was another knock on the door and this time I knew that it was Aylin and Jarek. I could hear Aylin voice already and she seemed angry about something while jarek just kept replying with “no” “stop” “why?” And it seemed to aggravate her further as her tempo increased with each word.I stared at the door and it flew open to reveal the both of them standing in front of the door, Aylin’s hands crossed around her body while Jarek stared down at her with an irritated look. They seemed a bit shocked at the sudden opening of the door as Aylin just huffed and walked in before jarek sighed and followed her.“I didn't expect you to do that ” Aylin said, her gaze fixed on me.My eyes fell on jarek who just shook his head.Did she say why she wanted to come here?” I mindlinked him.He shook his head before replying. “No.”Aylin looked between me and him then frowned. “I'd rather you ask me your questions Instead of mindlinking your beta,” she said, indignation in her tone.I squinted m
JAREKI didn't wait for another second, I carried Aylin out in my arms, back into my room where I lay her down on the bed gently despite the nagging feeling of me just throwing her down angrily because that was what I wanted to do.“What was that?!” I yelled at her, my eyes flashing.She struggled to sit up and I wanted to just go hold her down so that she wouldn't move but I just clenched my fists by my side and watched her quietly.“He needed to know, didn't he?” She asked with a slight smirk on her face.She found this funny?“Seriously? Is this a joke to you?! I was worried!” I yelled at her.She rolled her eyes at me and blew out air.“Stop with the shitty attitude, Jarek. You're beginning to behave like a father” she sneered at me.Something snapped in me and before I could hold myself back, I had pinned her down to the bed, my large body towering over hers.“Say that again” I dared her, my eyes darkened to a dangerous hue Aylin tried to free her hand from where I had pinned it
JAREKI could sense that something was awfully wrong. Kabal rarely had something to say with people in the pack. Now, he seemed interested, a hint of curiosity in his eyes as he stood in the middle of the room and looked her over.Honestly I don't know what I felt as I noticed his gaze all over her. Whatever it was, I hated it. I didn't like the sense of insecurity that wafted up through me but I kept silent. Kabal was genuinely curious but certainly not interested in her. Hopefully.After what seemed to be eternity that he was raking his eyes over her, I groaned inwardly. This was getting awkward.“Do I have to throw you out of my room before you state your business?” I asked him, a frown on my face He tore his gaze from her to look at me. “I have business with her but I'm just trying to confirm something” he said, bowing slightly.Aylin cleared her throat, her fingers working on the pendant around her neck. “What do you want to say to me?” She asked, looking at him nowHis gaze fli
BALIN“Dimitri is planning a return…” the words echoed in my head and my insides churned.The elder was speaking but I wasn't listening anymore, my mind was distant, I had gone AWOL.My gaze unconsciously fell on jarek who was looking at me to see my reaction. That snapped me out of my daze and I looked at the elder still ranting.“Wait” my voice was a low growl and he immediately shut up.“Yes?” He asked, his arms crossed behind him.“Do you have any evidence or do you expect me to believe any thing you spit out?” I asked, my voice low.Elder oakwood spoke up. “I'm sure that Elder Matthias has no reason to play around”, he began to protest when I sent him a glare.“Elder oakwood, I see you patched your shoulder up quickly” I smirked, gesturing towards the bandaged shoulder making him wince.“Uh, well…yeㅡ” he stuttered before I cut him off “If you don't want it permanently damaged, I suggest you shut the Fuck up and not interrupt me” I threatened. He immediately shut his mouth, his
ALICIAIt was a full day since everyone in the pack was at alert. We had heard the newsThe exiled Alpha was near.It had thrown us into a state of emergency but not me. I was calm because I wanted to use this to my advantage.Balin hadn't come to his senses, he was still blinded by the mermaid and what hurt was that she wasn't even around but she seemed to have clouded his mindI was standing in front of my mirror, a dark ball of energy swirling around in my hands as I played with it.What to do now?I tilted my head and manipulated the dark orb to whatever shape I wanted.This was a simple trick I had learnt from Tabitha and now I was stuck here.I racked my brain for any useful spell that may help me in this but I was drawing a blank.And no, I didn't regret killing Tabitha, she cost me that stupid mermaid but I was pissed off that there was no one around. I had to go through her spell books alone and by myself.Suddenly something clicked as I remembered Tabitha once telling me som
