ANSELYou think for a bit that a vampire will have the strength or stamina to be the fastest in this whole damn woods but no, he got shot with a poisonous arrow.“Shit! Why didn't you run as fast as you could?” I cursed and asked at the same time.“Is this what I get for saving your ass?” He asked.It was getting harder to pull him on the ground at least he has the weight.He was right. As much as I hate him right now. He just saved my life and I own it to him.“Well, I'm going to save you now. I guess we will be even then.” I said to him.“Going to save me?” He asked, sounding confused, “haven't you saved me?”I stopped moving and quietly looked around. I seem to have lost track of our attackers.I looked at Scott, he was confused but it was coming from the pain in his arm due to the arrow.“We can't be out here. It's too open.” I said to him, it doesn't look like he is understanding me.“Come on.” I lifted him again and found a secluded place and laid him there.“How are you feeling
KADEN“Shit!” I cursed as I tried to keep up with Amelia. She seems to be landing anywhere her legs take her.I could feel my injury trying to escape from the band aid put on it. “Hmm.” I moaned in pain.“You need to take it easy, bro.” Grey said to me. “I know but we have to keep up with her.” I said to him.“But your injury—.”I cut him off, “I don't care. Let's hurry!” I shot at him. “It will be better if I can just change into my wolf.” I said out loud.“You can't?” Grey asked me and I growled at him. “Maybe we are just overreacting.” He said.“Overreacting? There is no such thing as overreacting—.” I saw an arrow coming straight at us.“Get down!” I yelled at Grey, pushing him against the floor.“What was that?” He asked, holding his head, the arrow flew through his hair and got stuck in a tree.“Now, do you think I'm overreacting?” I asked him.“Let's keep up then.” I said to him. We picked up the pace.We just kept running and running. There isn't a final destination but we ne
ANSELIt's been a few hours since Scott took the deer's blood and he has started to get better.“We should be on our way.” He said.“You are the one stopping us.” I smirked at him.“What about our truce?” He eyed me.“Don't push it.” I said to him, rolling my eyes.“I feel alright, I can't make it before nightfall.” He said, standing up.“Yes.” I said, surveying the environment for any threats, “getting there before nightfall is better.” “Let's go.” He said moving away from our position. “We should be careful. In case we encounter any threat.” He said.“Yeah,” I chuckled, “so we won't get shot with poisonous arrows.” I mocked him.He gave me a stink eye and I raised my hands up in surrender, “sorry, too soon.”“You are a jerk.” He said.“I know it's part of my personality.” I said to him. He just shook his head and went his way.We got to the park in silence, both of us on our own in our thoughts.My mind was just filled with a lot of ways I'm going to kill Egnar when I lay my eyes o
KADENWe have been traveling for several hours trying to get to Scott's secret house to get the old woman to add her spell to it.Meanwhile I have been trying to stay between Grey and Gerald but the latter seem to want to be in control of the situation.“How far is this place?” Amelia asked, looking at her size, you wouldn't know a girl like her would be linked to a guy like Gerald.“Not far. We are almost there.” I said to her.“That's what you said, two hours ago.” Gerald said.“Well, it will be a lot faster if we are driving.” I said to him.“No cars.” He said, “it's dangerous, the roads are dangerous.” he said “We are walking on the road!” I yelled at him.He charged towards me, “don't you dare yell at me.”Grey walked towards us and held his shoulder. “Take a step back away from my brother.” He saidGerald scoffed and walked away. “We need a vehicle and we need it now.” Grey said.“I know that, but there aren't any right now.” I said to him.“There is now.” he pointed to a nearby
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
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
Valerie“Ansel, leave us.” Were the first words Syklar uttered as her gaze pierced through mine, and i gave her a shaky smile, clutching Elara closer to my chest as if she could protect me from Skylar’s wrath the minute Ansel left. He glanced between Skylar and i before shooting Skylar an irritated gaze.“No thank you for helping your friend in? I get that you hate us right now, but thats a bit harsh.”Skylar folded her hands across her chest as she glared at Ansel. “The only magic word you will get if you dont leave now would be sorry.”Ansel scoffed, and glanced at me one last time, before turning, walking down the hall and away from me, causing my ache and emptiness to return as he walked farther and farther away.But that was rerplaced by fear as Skylar yanked my hand and dragged me into her room in anger.She shut the door loudly, and glared at me so hard i feared i may ignite under the heat of her glare. “Start talking.” She commanded and i sighed.“I missed you so much Skylar.”
