KADENThere is a different type of feeling when you are on the air in a chopper on a normal day with when you are on a chopper on your way to war.One of the ways for us to win this war is to get Valerie back from Octavia. I took a glance at Amelia. She seems down and sad.Losing a parent is one thing but losing a grandmother who loved you and you love is a different type of pain.“Are you okay?” I asked her. The air was getting in the way of my words but she seems to have heard me.“I don't want to talk about it.” She said but her lips didn't move. It felt like the words were in my head.“What's going on?” I asked, using my voice.“Still don't want to talk about it.” She said again in my head.I got startled and my fingers began to shake.“Are you okay, bro?” Grey asked me.“Yeah, just feeling a bit strange.” I said to him.“Don't worry, we will get her back.” He said to me.“I know that and I believe it also.” I said to him“When do you start believing?” He asked, smirking.“Since
Kaden Both Grey and i tensed as Gerald pulled the knife and held it against Amelia’s throat, who was too shocked and tense to say anything. I knew this guy wasn’t a trustworthy person. This is what happens when you trust, and I do not trust. “None of you are having this knife. None.” He growled, the blade digging into Amelia’s throat close enough to make her wince in pain. Grey leg out a growl, ready to pounce on him but I stopped him just in his steps. “Don’t.” Gerald scoffed. “Yes better answer him, pup. Don’t you fucking try me or I will cut her head off this instant.” Grey let out a warning growl, but I stepped forward slowly. “Now buddy, don’t do anything stupid.” I calmly spoke, not wanting to cause any thing to make him do something we would all hate. He dug the knife deeper causing Amelia to cry out in pain. “Oh don’t you talk to me that way, and don’t you fucking tell me what to do. I’m the boss here. I tell people what to do, and I’m going to be in charge. Am
Scott As I hid there, behind the walls and watched as they hit Ansel, I wanted to help him. But I was injured, and I couldn’t risk being spotted. Werewolves despised Vampires. Kaden wasn’t one of the blind followers and that’s why we were friends. And Skylar too has never been a blind follower. I chuckled. The main reason I was doing all this. To save her. We didn’t work out, but she meant enough for me to get out of my long time vacation to help her. My fist tightened. I had to save them. Even if it was all for just a hug from her, I wanted that. To smell her scent again. I came back to the present, watching as they carried Scott away and began following them stealthily. That was one of a vampire’s characteristics. With my speed, I chased after the car through the alleyways, hiding from people and the guards as much as I could. I didn’t want to lose them, and in no time, I knew where they were headed, so I rushed ahead of them. Kaden’s pack home. Now heavily guar
Skylar The slap Egnar landed on my face rang a million times in my head. I gritted my teeth together, hating that he could control me. If he couldn’t, I would have ripped him apart a million years ago. “Stupid bitch. Haven’t I told you not to contribute to anything without my permission? You know how I have no tolerance for insolence!” I swallowed hard, and watched how they escorted Ansel out. He better have a plan because I cannot tolerate anymore of this. Miles was being bullied because of me. My heart sank at the thought. He didn’t deserve this. And Scott didn’t even show up. I shook my head. He couldn’t be bothered to even help me. He has always been selfish. That’s why I had to let him do the first time. Now I was with miles and I was happy until this happened. Egnar let out a laugh. “One of the stupid brothers is back home. Isn’t that amazing? Now they would be forced to come home and bring me that whore.” Fiona sighed and gave him a look. “Do you really need he
Scott They have discovered me, and now I was fast enough to run, but I chose not to. I was fast enough to kill and well, I did it. As they attacked, they ran to their deaths, with my speed, I attacked them as they attacked me, and shortly enough, I littered the hallways with bodies, the only thought in my head was rescuing Skylar. My heart ached with anticipation of seeing her, and I let out a shaky sigh. One of the things she wanted me to give up was killing, and I was literally going to show up with blood of a hundred guards on my hands, literally. The hallway was silent, too silent, only the sound of my feet stepping in the hall echoing back at me. I turned in my super hearing , and heard nothing. It was strange, did I kill everyone? Then I heard something. In the distance, I heard tropes of guards running and the sound of a helicopter hovering. I rushed to the balcony and surely enough, Egnar and the guards filled vehicles, and they seemed to be headed somewhere in a hear
Scott “Ansel should be in one of the cells under the house, but I don’t think it would be easy to access them. A lot of guards are stationed in front of the cells and they are the worst of them.” Skylar said as we walked towards the cells. I ignored the way her body curved as she walked in front of me. I ignored everything. I didn’t have the right to notice. Pushing the thought of her away, I focused on what she was saying. “To get in, we need a plan. A stable plan. We can’t just rush in there and hope we kill them before they kill us, Scott.” She gave me a glance, and I forced a smile which came out as a grimace. She let out a sigh. “I couldn’t wait for you to come back forever. Neither could fate.” Her words rang in my ear and I felt my fangs dig into my lips painfully. She was right. I could have chased after her. I could have promised to change, but I let her go. I chose this. Her eyes met mine, “I hope you meet someone who would love you more than I did-“ “No.”
Grey Octavia chuckled as we came running towards her with Amelia behind us, and two witches left Valerie and came to us, trying to stop us. One of them faced us and the other faces Amelia. The witch in front of us smirked, and rose her hand up, but Kaden leaped on her. She narrowly dodged his attack, and used her powers to push him back, but I didn’t relent as I waited for my turn to leap on her. But with a hand, she let out a blast of power and I felt my body fly and collide with a tree. The collision caused my body to ache, but I refused to stay down, Kaden’s voice coming into my head. “Get up, Grey. We can’t afford to lose now.” I struggled to my paws, my body screaming in protest. The witch Amelia was battling with was getting beaten by Amelia, but she was also powerful. I held my breath. Amelia would beat her. Octavia was still chuckling, clearly enjoying the spectacle. “How nice to see you fools try so hard to stop something that is bigger than you.” "Come
Valerie For hours, I was trapped in that void, the only thing I was hearing was the chants of the witches as they tried to unleash my last power. They trapped me in this void, and I couldn’t move, I couldn’t scream. I just waited for them to find out my power was unleashed. I had given up. I hid at the back of my mind, my heart breaking. If she was able to get my powers then that was the end of everything I’ve tried to stop. What was the use of stoping Egnar when someone just as bad was going to do the same? I felt something open, and I realized it was the dam of my powers that I forced to close. They were successful. I closed my eyes and a tear dropped from my eye and landed on my arm. I sobbed lightly. I let everyone down. Kaden warned me and I kept pushing him away and away and I let her deceive me all because I wanted a family. My chest burned with self hatred, and I sobbed away into the darkness, but a hand tenderly touched my shoulder. “Don’t blame yoursel
ValerieI ran out of the room, unable to bear the way they all looked at me, especially Kaden with the hatred in his eyes. These men were the men who would have killed anyone who spoke to me in that manner, but because they lost their memories, i was nothing but a stranger who killed tried to kill their cousin. I even thought Ansel wouldn't be so hard on me because of the moment we had the last time, but it seemed like that meant little to nothing to him now. I meant nothing now. How was i supposed to accomplish my mission and stop doom if on my first day, they hated me? I almost caused harm to Dennis. I could have gotten that little angel injured because i was stupid enough to request for Skylar to do something that risky.I finally stopped in an emoty hallway, and cried into my hands. Maybe it was a good thing i already placed Elara in Sky’s room with the spare key I have. All the tears and frustration i felt came pourig down, and i couldnt keep it in. i was such a failure,and i ha
Valerie's POVThe first thing I saw when I stepped through the pack’s border was chaos. Blood stained the earth, and the metallic tang of it filled the air. Wolves fought viciously, claws tearing into flesh as the sounds of snarls and cries filled the forest. I froze for a moment, the intensity of it all overwhelming me. This was not the kind of welcome I’d anticipated.Then I saw her—Skylar—her usually vibrant energy now subdued as she cradled her son in her arms. My heart clenched at the sight of her cowering near a fallen tree, a rogue looming over her with deadly intent. Before I could move to help, a flash of fur blurred past me, and I saw Grey—his wolf form tearing into the rogues with feral determination..When Grey reached Skylar, she was already bleeding, her abdomen slashed open by the rogue’s claws. My stomach churned as I watched the strange woman step in, her magic weaving a protective barrier and then healing Skylar with her spellIt wasn’t long before the battle subsid
GreyAfter we left the office, Ramona let out a loud sigh. “Gosh i dont think ive ever felt that intimidated before. You alphas are sexy but damn.”I let out a chuckle, knowing that she was right, but they werent always bad. But now was a time where we had to be cautious. We were alreadfy under a lot of pressure. This wasnt the time to trust foolishly like Kaden may think i currently am doing. Yes i attracted to her but that dudnt mean i trusted her with my life. I already made up my mind to put her under survelliance. “Butr you arent like that are you? Yes sexy, but not that intimidating? Or you are more of a sneaky type?”Flirty little Ramona batted her eyelashes at me, and i rolled my eyes in response, a smirk tugging at the corner of my lips. “Sneaky isn’t my style. I’d rather people know exactly where they stand with me,” I said, my tone even. “And right now, you’re somewhere between mildly useful and highly suspicious.”Ramona feigned a gasp, pressing a hand to her chest drama
KadenI sat at the desk in the pack's office, flipping through reports with little interest. The usual mess of figures and documents had all but blurred together, but my mind wasn’t on the pack's business. It wasn’t on anything at all, really, except the pit in my stomach that hadn’t left since Patricia had slipped through our fingers and since i saw that cloaked Sky’s friend."Another dead end?" Ansel's voice broke through the silence, making me glance up. He was leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, his expression a mirror of my own frustration."Yeah," I muttered, tossing the report aside. "Nothing. No one’s seen her for days, and the trail’s gone cold."He gave a sharp nod. "I don’t like it. Feels like we’re being played."I rubbed my eyes, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on me. I wasn’t used to feeling like this—helpless, like I was chasing shadows. It hadn’t even crossed my mind until now, but the way Ansel had said it… we’re being played."Any luck wit
GreyPatricia has been unavailable for a few days since we went on that date, and we lost the only lead we had. Kaden refused to let me live that down, blaming me for letting her slip away and also blaming Ansel for treating her badly in the past. How were we supposed to know she was going to slip away? I did feel a good vibe from her that day, and although I felt bad for trying to use her, I believed we had reached a head way in our plan.This just confirmed she was hiding something and I was on edge trying to figure it out.The young soldiers trained hard as the assistant general, Hans, trained them while I texted Patricia for the tenth time, and still got no reply.“Fucking hell.” I grunted as I refrained from slamming my phone against the training dummy at the opposite side of the field. “At ease, Soldiers. You have ten minutes to rest. Regroup immediately after the break is over.” Hans commanded and the young soldiers bolted away, wanting to use their break well.Hans walked tow
alerie“How could you give up your powers just like that? You are the strongest being under the Moon Goddess, and you would just give that up for some witch with a vendetta? What the hell were you thinking?”Coral screeched at me the minute I got up from the spell circle, and I sighed in anger.I could feel a migraine coming on, and I knew Coral wouldn’t let this go. She was the right hand. If I lost my powers, there wouldn’t be a shrine for them.But that's nothing compared to letting that prophecy come to pass. And I do not regret my sacrifice. But one month? My spell was supposed to be strong because of their will to find me, but now I realized that was going to be a big problem. I had to trigger their memories.I rubbed my temples, trying to ease the pounding in my head as Coral’s words cut through the air, her worry mingling with her anger. She had every right to be upset, and yet I couldn’t afford to dwell on my regret or second-guess my choice.“Coral,” I said, my voice resolut
Valerie My heart thundered against my ribcage as i hurriedly left the presence of Ansel, Kaden and Grey, who stared me down as i left Skylar’s room. I could swear i saw Kaden glaring at me, which made it harder for me to make my decision. There was a way i could get us all out of this, and it may even ruin everything. But i wasn't going to give up without trying my best to have my mates back, our life back. So i left the pack with Elara, and headed back to my cottage where Coral was livid as she kept calling my line. Patricia was busy with a spell and I peeled my eyes off her, clearing my throat so that they could know i was in front of them. “Hey guys.” Coral’s eyes widened as she took me in, and she let out a sigh, which instantly turned to anger as she stormed towards me. “What the hell were you thinking, Val? Why would you leave without letting me know? I was worried sick something happened to you and Elara and Patricia couldn't locate you with a locator spell..” She took a
Ansel Grey rumbled on as Kaden chirped in reply but i couldnt concentrate as i stared at them. Only ne thing was in my mind. The cloaked stranger, Skylar’s weird friend. She was the most beautiful woman i had ever seen in reality, and ve seen, been and been inside millions of women. No one was as beautiful as she was. Maybe the baby in her hands. For some reason, i couldnt just get her out of mind, despite not being able to see her face well, but the little i saw seems to have a lasting effect. I just couldnt concentrate on anything except her soft lips, her violet eyes… I couldnt concentrate on the plan to ffind out the memory wiper when this woman plagued my mind. “Hey asshole.” Grey threw a squeezed sheet of paper at me, pulling me out of my trance. Kaden rose a brow at me, and i could see him calculate what i was thinking behind his cocky stupid brain. A smirk appeared on his face and i knew he figured it out. “The cloaked woman, wasnt truly a skank was she now? If she was, yo
Valerie Skylar pulled away, her nose red from her sniffling, and I was sure that I looked the exact same way. A giggle escaped my lips, and she rolled her eyes as I called her a crybaby, teasing her despite being one myself. She slapped my arm playfully, and at that moment, I felt like everything was the way it used to be, but it wasn’t, so I was back to reality. Skylar noticed the change in my demeanor, and she sat upright, clearing her throat. “You mentioned a solution earlier at the door. I thought the Moon Goddess wasn’t replying to you any longer? How did you get a solution?” I ran my hand through my hair. “I found a seer. Well, Coral found one. She helped me with the vision.” Skylar raised a brow. “Coral? Really? The same Coral who I don’t trust and absolutely hate found you a seer, and you’re just going to go with it?” Skylar hated Coral the minute I built a temple for the Moon Goddess and she was assigned to me. I always felt it was a rivalry thing, and till now, I haven't
