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
DAMIENIt had been one full day since we had argued and now we were sitting to dinner or rather she was poking her food while I stared at her with an uneasy gaze.“You're not hungry?” I finally asked after a couple minutes of silence.She dropped her fork down and looked up at me with a sad smile. “I guess not”I sighed, feeling annoyed at her nonchalant behavior. “Do you want to talk about it?”“No”Her reply made me get even more irritated but I kept myself in check.“Marilyn” I called her.She arched an eyebrow but she didn't meet my gaze.“Can you stop looking at the food like you're interested in it and look at me for a few seconds?” I asked irritatedShe sighed, looked up and gave me a slow, long look with a raised brow.“You're acting like a child right now. I want you to talk to me” I said annoyed.She sighed again and ran a hand through her hair. “There are some things which I can't tell you because you won't want to hear about them and I really don't need you nagging me abou
ALICIA“You should skip” my wolf said in my head.I stood up on wobbly feet, feeling lightheaded and I shook my head. “I can manage myself” I muttered.The feeling of something trickling down my nostrils made me freeze and rush to the mirror and the sight wasn't anything nice.Dark red blood slowly trickled out of my nose, the metallic taste seeping into my mouth as I parted my lips. “Holy shit, what's happening?” My voice cracked and I gripped the edge of my table tightly.My wolf was alarmed and she began pacing about.“I don't know. Your body is acting on it's own will now” she said in a panic.My legs gave out and I fell to the ground, wiping my bloody nose with a tissue that I had grabbed from the table.No no, something was awfully wrong. I should stay in for fear that someone might see me like this but I instead kept my cool. There was no telling that Balin wouldn't kill me if I didn't show up.I forced myself to stand up and I quickly wiped my nose again, the smear of blood p
BALINWhen Kabal came up to me with such a preposterous thing, I was beyond angry and irritated.There was already a lot on ground so a growing demon in my pack was certainly not what I wanted and it wasn't what was on my mind.I had immediately called for a meeting because this was a grave matter and I needed to get to the root of it. Firstly Marilyn then Michael and now a demon. Such pleasant ways to start my day.My eyes was kept trained on the crowd and I nodded to jarek who was standing with Aylin in the crowd, he bowed slightly to me. I turned my attention back to Kabal who was answering some questions.Everything seemed in place as I looked at the people, everyone seemed to be taking the news well so far but there was a sense of unease as people spoke in hushed whispers.My eyes fell on a certain figure that seemed at unease and my eyes narrowed. Alicia. She was shambling from feet to feet and discreetly wiping her nose while looking at the ground.Tilting my head, I frowned not
BALIN“She's a shifter” Kabal said gravely.There was a tense silence as I looked at him with a raised brow. He continued to stare at me, probably expecting me to be shocked or angry but I remained passive, just staring at him.After a while, I sighed and frowned at him.“She's a shifter? Wow, so insightful” I sneered.He looked taken aback by my comment and he looked away, thinking of something so I continued.“In case if you can't understand what I mean by that statement, allow me to break it down, it simply means that I have no idea what a shifter is” I said to him.Now, he looked truly shocked at my revelation and his jaw dropped slightly.“You really don't know what a shifter is?” He asked, his voice cracking.I sat up straight and stared at him weirdly. “Educate me. I never had to deal with something like it so what is it?” I asked him.His eyes fluttered close and he muttered a few words just as shadows writhed around him forming some kind of whirlwind of dust but it was showin
