The night begins
Kirsch's POV"What are you talking about!" Willa giggled, wiggling out of Rudy's paws. Rudy backed off, sitting on his hind legs and staring at Willa.[Why aren't you accepting my mindlink then?] I asked, still trying to mindlink her. The only reason I could think of her rejecting my request was--If our human part is put into deep sleep, then your eyes won't flicker when your wolf comes out. It would be impossible to tell who is talking at that moment except for one way--You can't hide your identity in the mindlink."Nox can wake up anytime, so I don't want to be mindlinking you when that happens." Willa rolled her eyes with a smirk, "Taran said he doesn't want the pack to know curse, remember?!"I let out a relieved exhale.[I guess I'm a little paranoid today...] I glanced around. Taran was out of our site already, but I knew he was lingering around. He had to command the battle, so he couldn't come close."So, what's going on over there?" Willa asked.[Let me check.] I said befor
Kirsch's POV [You are not my Alpha!] Nox pushed me on my chest, leaving four red marks across, [Let go of me! How dare you look at my body?!] Cerberus roared at her shouting, charging at me the next second. I couldn't take him in my human form, but if I shift I'd have to let Nox go! I pulled Nox into my arms and held her tight from behind, keeping her between me and Cerberus. He stopped instantly. [Alpha! She's trying to hurt Willa! We need Taran!] I tried to mindlink him as I held her down, but Cerberus refused my mindlink. "Let me go, mortal! How dare you pretend to be my king?!" Nox struggled in my arms but she realized her strength wasn't an opponent to mine, "Kill her! My king! Kill her now!" Cerberus's red eyes moved to Nox's body, filled with a murderous lust. "She's Willa! Cerberus! Don't you remember?! She's your little one!" I shouted to Cerberus as I fought Nox. His huge head paused at Willa's name. He huffed in distress and shook his head, trying to clear his mind.
Kirsch's POV [Still alive at the moment,] I let out a relieved chuckle, [You picked a hell of a time for a nap, Alpha.] [Nox woke up, she mindlinked us and commanded Cerberus to not put through any mindlink before Cerberus knocked me out.] Taran stopped right where he was, and in the corner of his mind, laid Cerberus in a lifeless way. [What happened to Cerberus?] I frowned, the pain of seeing my mate hurt washed over me. [I don't know. He's badly hurt and couldn't move.] Taran frowned in confusion, [We are hurt, but the wound is not too bad, so I don't really know what happened to him.] Cerberus was badly hurt? [Hmm, we did that to you.] I told him, [There was no other way for me to wake you up.] [Ouch,] Taran smirked, making a face, [Not bad, Alpha Kirsch. I don't think I have ever been wounded so bad.] [You bet.] I chuckled, and that movement caused great pain from my waist, [Nox woke up and she put Willa into deep sleep. You need to find her. She's in the woods.] [On my wa
Kirsch's POV I really didn't know how to respond to that "please", partly because Cerberus had never said that to anyone. [I won't. I'm grateful that you didn't kill me, Alpha.] I bared my neck to him, [You had the chance and you chose not to.] Taran turned and dashed toward the woods as he "threatened" me: [Your death would hurt Willa deep because your soul is bonded to her already, even before either of you get a mark from each other. If you don't care about that, then you can roll off, ALPHA Kirsch!] [I'm NOT the Alpha!] I let out a frustrated grunt, but I didn't dare die now, afraid of what he said. I never thought of it in that way, but Nox DID took me as the mad king. If her soul WAS linked to mine already by any chance, my death would definitely hurt her. [We will see about that.] Taran smirked, but his mood lightened up by a lot now. What the hell does that mean?! I WAS the beta! Recognized by the pack bond, as of NOW! I rolled my eyes and sighed, trying to get up. My wa
Willa's POV Kirsch ran away to get out of his clothes. Seriously, I didn't mind it now. He had taken off his clothes in front of me several times now, and I was getting used to having wolves around me. [Why is he running away?! I have been drooling over his naked body for so long!] A question rose from deep in my heart. Was I interested in his body?! That can't be! But... Vengeful meany! NOW he ran away for it when he had been shifting in front of me all the time?! [I guess sex with him would do the trick.] I couldn't stop my mind from running like a crazy horse. Do what trick?! How could I think about having sex with Kirsch?! I rubbed my hair in frustration, trying to clear my mind. "What got into me?!" I panicked, turning around, only to remember I was chained down. [How dare they put me in chains!] A burst of anger bubbled up under my skin from nowhere. I knew I agreed to that, but I couldn't help but feel anger toward that. I must be too nervous about the new moon. "Kirsch,
Willa's POV Silence was all I could hear. Darkness was all I could see. "Am I dead?" I mumbled, realizing I could hear myself. The self-awareness rose fear in me because now the darkness that surrounded me meant danger. "Weak!" An angry voice rose behind me, and I jerked around, only to see more darkness. "Who's there?" I asked, unable to hide the fear in my voice -- what if she was a ghost?! [Taran! Kirsch!] I tried to mindlink, only to realize I couldn't even feel the mate bond anymore. I couldn't link any mind! Okay, I WAS dead. "How could you let a mortal take your life?!" The angry voice shouted with obvious disappointment. Did she mean Natasha? How could I NOT die when I wake up with a hole already in my chest?! It wasn't like I lost to Natasha in a fight! Wait, then who was talking to me right now?! "You are Nox! Natasha said she was helping you!" I blurted, fear washed over me. "You stole my mate! You prisoned me here for years and you tortured me non-stop!" Nox shou
Willa's POV [Damn it, Natasha! I'll fucking tear you apart!] Taran's voice burst out in the mindlink, his eyes mad red. It didn't look like I was in deep sleep for long from where he currently was. [Nox?] I tried to find my voice in the mindlink, but she was nowhere to be found. [Willa? Willa?! You are awake!] Kirsch shouted, he was limping through the woods. [What happened to you? Are you hurt?] I frowned as pain burst out in my chest at that thought. [I'm alright now! I thought you died! Don't you ever scare me like that!] Kirsch blurted with his lips shivering, eyes fixed on me. I enjoyed his stare. I rolled over slowly, still couldn't control my body well as pain flashed through me. But the hole in my chest was nowhere to be found. "How the hell did you heal?! You--?!" Natasha gasped, backing away from me as if she has just seen a ghost. "You just enjoy saving me, don't you? You AND Rachel. Nox would never wake me up if it wasn't for the fact that she is afraid of wolfsbane
Willa's POV I backed away from Natasha as fast as my twisted limbs allowed me. I couldn't tell whether it was the wolfsbane or the shift, or my body was actually on fire, but everything was burning hot, and I felt like my bones were melting. "Ahhh!" A scream escaped me when my knee cap dented as if an invisible hammer smashed on it. I curled up in the pain, failing to find a way out. Natasha took her chance and jumped at me, her claws reaching for my leg that I couldn't move. I tried to roll but I could barely control my body. [Taran!] I shouted, shutting my eyes close. But I heard the noise of sharp claws slashing open the flesh! I screamed with my head covered in my arms, but then I heard something heavy crashing into the ground not too far from me. Cerberus crashed into Natasha, and it wasn't my leg that was slashed open, but her chest. His huge mouth swallowed half of Natasha's head as his canines sank deeply into her jaw. Natasha licked her paws frantically, leaving scarlet re
