Inside the cell, the whole place was humming with noise, murmurs and groans from everyone.I stood there, my heart pounding as I stared at everyone's dissappointed look. They all looked exhausted."Lora, you need to sit down and relax," Lock called coming up beside me and I shook my head."I'm fine...it's just, I feel bad. I really do. I feel like I brought you all into this situation by coming into your life, and....""Hey," He interrupted with a grimace, "You are a blessing. You don't realize it now but you will. It will soon become obvious to everyone. Trust me,"I gave lock a smile grateful that he was one of the people who stood by me and believed in me from Day one."I don't know Lock. Just look at everyone. And trust me, I know my dad. He won't let us all go that easily. I'm scared of what he will do. And this is all my fault.""How exactly is it your fault?"I gasped at the voice behind me and turned, shocked to see Sarah staring at me."You are not at fault. We have our Alpha
Blake's POVOh the nerve of this man.Sarah and Jane Simultaneously snapped up on their feet and snarled, baring their fangs at Marcus. But he just scoffed and pinned his hard stare on Lora, who was giving him a glare of her own.."What the fuck do you want from me? And don't you dare call me you daughter, you sick bastard" She snapped, her face darkening dangerously in anger ."I would love an audience with you," Marcus returned, folding his arm over his chest, "And I suggest you watch how you talk to me. I raised and clothed you,"Lora seethed, "Leave us be and get the fuck out. I don't want to speak to you, not now and not ever,"Everyone in the cell room was tense watching the exchange. My heart warmed when I saw how everyone was ready to jump into her defense anytime.She might not be a Lycan, but she had come a long way into proving that she was family and nothing like the wolves."Lora...""You fucking heard her," Jared snapped his chest rising in anger, "She doesn't want to ta
The night was as hellish as a night in a cell could get.The heat, mosquitoes. But it seems like I was the only one bothered about the discomfort.Everyone else in the room was sound asleep, including my father. Well this is understandable, he must be used to this already.My heart twinged when I remembered that this is the condition my father has been in for more than ten years. If we had a hint that he was alive I would have done anything possible to save him.When I opened my eyes for what seemed like the hundredth time in a few hours, everything was still pitch dark.My insides boiled like I was suffocating. I had this sudden urge to run in the woods but how could I when I was a prisoner.I felt Lora shift in my arms and noticed that she was awake from her breaths."Hey baby...." I whispered as I held her tighter and brushed my lips against her hair.She shifted again, settling better against me, and the movement shook down my spine and I suddenly became aware of the growing need
LORA'S POV.".......and then she tried to hit me. Luckily I was fast enough to evade her hit, else she would have marked my flawless face"Sophia rambled on and on.I wasn't paying attention to her though. I could hear words, see her mouth moving but couldn't process a single thing she was saying in my head. I wasn't paying attention to her, and she didn't seem to notice.Even as I stared at her, the only image I could see vividly in my head was that of Blake's face before I left him in the cell. The confusion in his beautiful eyes, the hurt.It tore my heart to pieces that I didn't even stay long to say everything father asked me to say before leaving because I couldn't bear the look in his eyes.He had said he loved me. Just this morning, in his sleep he had whispered that he loved me.I love you Lora. He had said and pressed his lip on my hair.And it had taken every ounce of my strength and will power to get out of his embrace.I love you too Blake And I totally did. I loved him
Lora's POV"So do you think that this is going to work?" Sarah whispered, folding her hand over her chest with a slight frown.I shrugged. I had no idea if it was going to work though.It was pitch dark in the bushes. We had sneaked off after I shared my plans with them, and what I intended to do.All three of us had doubts though."I mean all she has to do is the same thing she does when turning. Right?" I almost laughed at Jane's question even though it wasn't funny.My heart was racing wildly."I have no idea," I responded, "I will try that with my fingers crossed I guess. Let's just hope it will"They nodded and I exhaled then stepped further away from them.Trying to turn into a dragon?Was I nuts? Maybe I was.But there was just too much at stake right now I had to exhaust all my options.I had to try every possible Thing possible."Okay. Let's get it dragon girl," Sarah cheered with a clap and I grimaced. "Can we not call me that?" I laughed and she smiled."Well it suits," S
045."We have to finalize the deal with the Hunters. It is time to get rid of those animals for good, I'm fed up with them"My heart raced wildly at what I just heard Marcus say. His voice was distant. He must be in his private study which was very very far away from my room. How then was it possible that I could hear him?Not just him. I could hear lots of distant tiny whispers but I strained my ears to focus on him more."Roger that boss," A voice said. Probably one of the warriors in the pack or or who knows?"Ensure they make it a clean work. No one must know about this, and it must not in any way be pointed back to the Werewolves. Understood?""Yes sir,""Good. Prepare your men. If the need arises we might go in and declare war too. I'm willing to do anything to ensure that I don't have to spend another way in this city with those maggots.I honestly found it hard believing what I was hearing. The Hunters?Marcus wants to get rid of the Lycans?.But why would he do that?I mean,
*46*"I love you, Blake," I said for the first time ever hoping that would at least change some things.But my heart broke when I saw Blake's face contort in pure rage and anger."I need you to go. Thank you for the heads-up but we don't need her here.""Yes we do,"He frowned when Lock approached us with a very serious expression."This is way more than your pride or your feelings Blake. This is the whole pack at stake here, so yeah we have to do something immediately. And with Lora by our side, we are way stronger,""She's not on our side,"Jared, who had walked into the living room after Lock snapped, "She decided to choose those bastards instead,""Have you asked yourself why?" Lock sneered, "Why she did it?""What else could the reason be other than the fact that she's a traitor.” My heart sank at that and I stared at Blake pleadingly, hoping that he could at least understand. "I promise you Blake, I will explain everything later. Things are complicated and.....""Why don't you
The whole room fell silent in seconds. Some of them kept staring at me like I was some sort of accomplice in the whole thing but I just ignored them.I could not blame them though. These people had welcomed me even with the feud between them and the Werewolves, and I had betrayed them.I was not even expecting them to forgive me soon enough."So what's the plan now?" I asked, in an attempt to break the uncomfortable silence and turned to Blake.His eyes searched mine, cold, and he looked away without giving me a word.My heart dropped and I looked away, hoping the hurt I felt was not on my face."There's no point dwelling on why he is doing what he's doing. We just have to look for a way to stop him," He said and Max nodded"We won't get anything tonight. We can't get anywhere. We have to wait till tomorrow,""We can't wait," Jared cut in interrupting Lock, "This is urgent,""Even if we stay here, we can't come up with a plan. There's still so much we don't know. Too many hidden secre
"You promise me you won't disappear ever again , okay, Lora? No matter what, we are in this all together"I smiled, staring into Blake's eyes as his fingers trailed down my cheek."I know. I promise," I responded, because I wasn't planning to let this go, "We are in this together. Come rain some sun. I'm sorry I hurt you,"He nodded, but didn't smile. He wasn't smiling in any way, just staring at my face with so much intensity, my heart beat increased at the heat of his stare.It was already late. Distantly I could hear the whispers from all over the house. Just a few whispers and a few heart beats. But all I could focus on was the sound of Blake's Heart beat.My Mate....I placed my palm gently on his chest.My King. The Love of my life.The man I didn't ask for, but the moon goddess blessed me with."I love you, Lora." My heart broke at the helpless sound of his voice and I could only imagine the pain he had been through, these past few days.I wrapped my arms around him in a hug,
