I wanted to call on to him but I decided not to. I had no idea why he was upset. What could have possibly gone wrong with him? Was it the fact that my father had killed Salvador that had gotten him upset or the fact that he had killed anyone at all? I let out a sigh as I decided to find out. Curiosity was taking a better part of me and I was willing to take the chances.I let out a sigh and headed outside to see Xavier. I really wanted to know what had happened to him to warrant such actions. After all, I was bored, staying all day in the room. I had decided to place my mission of running away on hold as I wanted to know what Xavier was really up to and what he wanted so I stepped out of the room almost immediately.I was greeted by beautiful smiles on the maids’ face as well as that of the guards as I passed by but neither of them had an idea of where he was. I was determined to find out. Luckily, I was able to meet a maid who finally knew where he was. Although I had never been to h
“Any news?” I questioned, my ears aching to hear something positive ….. at least for the first time in so long.“I am sorry,” He let out a sigh. “We could not get anything but give me some time, we are really close to finding her.”Just like I had expected, it was something negative again. I walked out of the room and headed to Antonella’s room. There was definitely some other information that she had that could be of help. I had to ensure there was nothing else she was hiding. I placed a knock on her door but when I couldn’t hear her response for the umpteenth time, I pushed it open.She was not on her bed and it got me a bit relieved. I had begun to imagine several things but I pushed the thoughts away.“Antonella!” I called out to her but there was no response. I arched my brows as I had not expected to be answered by silence. No. she could definitely not have escaped.“Antonella!” I called again but she was quiet. Without a second thought, I ran quickly to her bathroom but she wa
I let out a soft moan as I felt so uncomfortable. My head ached and so did every other part of my body. I tried to open my eyes but the reflection from the sun made it a bit difficult so I turned to the other side of the bed. I opened my eyelids slowly.I suddenly fluttered my eyes open when I saw a figure, standing right in front of the mirror, his hands crossed behind him. I was even more shocked when I realized I would have completely been in the state of nature save for the blanket that cladded me.No no no.. it could not be.I raised the blanket a little and peeped to be sure it was not all in my head but it really wasn’t. I let out a gasp as my fears were confirmed.Almost immediately, he turned to look at me, a smile on his face.“Hey you” He smiled as he walked closer towards me. I wished the floor could open up and swallow me up that minute.“What did you do?” I questioned, praying within me that it was all in head. Nala on the other hand was irresponsive. It felt like she re
I headed to the bathroom quickly to have a bath as I didn’t want to kept him waiting as he had said. I washed myself.“He is so nice!” Nala answered with a smile.“Oh, come on, you cannot say that. We both know he is the devil incarnate,” I answered her as I scrubbed my skin so hard like I wanted to tear it off.“Oh, come on. We owe him our lives. We are alive because of him, you know? He is our savior” she answered.“Our savior?” I scoffed and headed to my room to get prepared. “You are always in support of him. You should be with him then” I answered, jealousy taking the better part of me. She was just so odd. I got prepared quickly and headed to the dining room.A sigh escaped my lips as I pulled the doorknob. A gazillion thoughts crossed my mind all at the same thing but I decided to carry on. I walked down the stairs quickly and headed to the dining table. He was there, alongside some other men.I halted as my heart raced. Somehow, it felt like something was wrong. I stood on the
I stood up to leave for my room but I was suddenly forced to a halt by his growl.“Where do you think you are going?” He questioned, angrily. I let out a sigh as I crossed my arms.“To my room” I shrugged but then, he suddenly began to approach me. I was scared as I remembered what had happened that night. I tried to run but he was quick to hold me and refrain me from running.“More trouble!” Nala complained.He pinned me against the wall and stared at me with so much rage burning in his eyes.“What have you done to me?” He questioned, his voice sounding thicker than ever and the color of his pupils suddenly changing.I tried to talk but I was paralyzed with fear. I was scared of saying a word as he looked like he was going to kill me that very minute. “Haven’t you ruined my life enough? You and your vicious father took everything that matters from me. Is that not enough? Now, you have successfully broken the long-time bond I have with my friends all because of your actions!” He gro
Although his words bruised my heart, I was glad nothing had happened between us.Not worthy to grace his bed? I scoffed as I shook my head in disbelief.What could they have possibly been discussing? I wondered but I shrugged as I decided to let it be. it was none of my business anyway. His words however kept ringing in my ear over and over again. What could Father had done to him? I wondered as he really seemed hurt. Had Father killed any of his loved ones?Had he killed his parents just like he had killed Salvador’s? No. I shook my head. I refused to believe it and instead, decided to eat my meal. Nala on the other had was quiet and although her choice of words wasn’t always what I liked; I didn’t like her silence in discussions like that.“What do you think? What could Father have done to him?” I asked her. For a moment, she was silent. Was she upset with me? I let out a sigh and continued to eat. My day had started on a rough note and I was certain the day was going to end like th
Antonella looked so innocent and it made me feel like she was being sincere. I knew however that it was all a game. She was trying so hard to get me to believe her lies but it was not going to work. My wolf however had other ideas as he continued to defend her even when the truth was glaring. “She is innocent!” My wolf grunted. I was not interested in listening to him however. I could not trust a descendant of the bastard that had killed my parents when I was just a little boy. I could not take any chances.“Freya came to your pack yesterday” She repeated.I was shocked to say the least as that was not what I had expected her to say.“What do you mean?” I questioned as I wanted to be sure I had heard her right.“Freya came. She came to your pack” She repeated, confirming her initial claim. I took few steps away from her. I let out a loud laughter as I could not believe what she had said. It could be in her head.“I believe you are not in your proper state of mind. Perhaps, you need
DEMONTES' POV"Do not touch me woman!"Freya must have been shocked by my growl because her hand didn't go below my waist anymore."You don't need to be so grumpy," she muttered. "I have already promised you that I would find your daughter."I turned and glared at her. Did she think I was joking? My last living heir had been missing and the only thing she could think about was sex?"I mean it," Freya muttered. "I would find her."I sighed and turned to face the other side of the bed. I had always known Antonella was a rebel. She hated me and my lover, Freya, but I had never expected that she would be bold enough to run away from my pack. What if she got into trouble with the enemy?As the thought flew into my head, I jumped from the bed and walked to the drawer."Are you okay, my king?" Freya asked, her eyes fixed on me.I ignored her and rummaged through the drawer in search of something to wear. I was done with sitting down and waiting for my guards to bring me the same old news th
ANTONELLA’S POVI thought it was all over when he appeared. Suddenly my life didn’t seem like a mess anymore. The mere glimpse of him had my heart filled with hope again and I felt home in his arms. He was it for me.We were hand in hand when he suddenly stopped and I was made to turn my head around. A supposed dead witch was behind him with a sword she had driven into him.When I rushed to him, I felt like my world was crumbling down. The walls of hope that sprouted in my heart suddenly crashed grinding itself into a fine grain. With the snap of a finger she took it away again.My mind was ringing with pain, I could feel his pain. My heart raced and I could feel an anger I was sure was not mine but his that he was projecting.I waited a while for his wounds to start to heal but nothing happened. I was so focused on him that I had zoned out from everything else going on around me. Like I didn’t have a witch who was hell bent on making a sacrifice out of me.“Don’t bother. He’s not goi
SALVADOR’S POVI spent the whole day searching for the items I needed. It became frustrating by the minute when I couldn’t find the herbs but when I was eventually able too, I pulled it out from its root without thinking too much about it.Danny was dead so I was left to do everything without him. There was no doubt that from the way I was feeling, a hole had been left deep in my heart. I should have been able to take his body with me, to give him a proper burial. I also wanted more than anything to grieve him but time was running out.I was lucky enough to have found the herbs the time that I did. Then I found my way to a safe house the guys and I used to hide in whenever we needed to take a break from a mission. The house didn’t feel like it used to. This time it was unusually colder than normal like the house too knew that Danny was gone.I set the herb and mountain ash aside and searched for my gun. This time I didn’t want to give her any room to escape or even survive. I didn’t a
ANTONELLA’S POVMy hands and feet were bound and so was my father’s. We have had to take a long walk and were brought to the Eastern Province. The land looked dead, like it had been cursed or something.The moment we crossed over into the border, I felt disconnected to my wolf which made me look at my father with questionable eyes.Freya didn’t seem to need her guards anymore since she had us both right where she wanted up – to be weak and have no means of escape whatsoever.The grass that should have been green like the ones close to it were dried to their roots and they were covered in ash. Thankfully my feet weren’t bare.Freya had my father tied a wooden pole where he would have no means to run off or even try to help me.She then walked towards with and pulled on my arm. She walked up to a place on the field that had this massive hole in it.I didn’t know why there was a hole there but I didn’t really care, I just wanted her to let us go. When we got to the edge, I stared at her
SALVADOR’S POVI was sure I looked lifeless. Two days had passed and I held on to my decision about not making Red my Luna. She could take it however she wanted but I didn’t want her in the least of ways. My love for Antonella has hit a point where it was impossible for me to want someone else even if it was just for business which I was sure this was going to be.Red didn’t bother showing up but her men did. For two days she had sent them over to ask of my decision and for two days I sent them back with the same answer refusing. I didn’t know how she planned on keeping us but I was sure I wanted to get out of the holding cell.Danny was in chains to which I was guilty for. It was her way of punishing me for refusing her by letting me watch my best friend in pain.On the third supposed day that Antonella was going to be killed, Red showed up with an angry expression. “I’m surprised that your defiance to make me your Luna doesn’t match one bit with your proclaimed love for Antonella. I
SALVADOR’S POVI hadn’t realised that I had passed out. My eyes fluttered open and I looked around where I was. Beside me was a chained Danny who seemed to be in pain. I looked at my own hands to find that I too was chained to the wall.In front of me with the most annoying smile was Red. She looked as calm as a child about to get a candy from his parent. I hated it.“Oh you’re awake” she chirped with that sickly smile of hers.I yanked at the chain and barred my teeth at her, a growl rumbling in my chest. She was startled for a second even placing a hand on her chest.“Ooh feisty, just the way I like it.” She purred almost making me gag. She pointed at me, and spoke to one of the guards standing with her. “Cut him loose.”He obeyed and did was he was told. I stayed calm as he did even though I was tempted to snap his neck and hers. I wanted to make sure that both Danny and I were lose first before doing anything but she didn’t ask for him to be cut loose.“I’m not going anywhere wit
ANTONELLA’S POVFreya was no longer in the room. She left right after my father agreed and gave her permission for the province. I didn’t know nor understand why she was hell bent on getting on that land but judging from the lengths she was going for it, her plans were no good.I had questions for my father, but my body felt too weak to move much less my mouth forming words. There were also a lot I wanted to say to him. I wanted to read him the, I told you so line just so he could remember that I had warned him about her.There were only three of us left. Myself, bleeding badly and my wounds pulsing, then my father and a guard. The other left with her to goddess knows where. Not that I cared or anything.I could feel my body healing but slower than they should. Maybe it was because I was too weak and so was my wolf.I raised my head with much difficulty and saw my father sharing a look with the guard that was in the same room as we were. It was as though they were communicating and my
SALVADOR’S POV“I’m sorry you want me to what now?” I asked unbelief etching my face. What the fuck kind of crazy was she blabbing about?“I want you to make me your Luna, Alpha King. Agree to that and I won’t just tell you about everything you want to know, I will also help you defeat the witch.” Red answered seductively.If I was any other man, I would have agreed to it since she was a very pretty woman. But the whole reason why I came to her was to save the woman I wanted to make my Luna.“Yeah, that’s not going to happen. I already have someone I want as my Luna, in fact, she’s the reason I need the information from you. You’ll have to think of something else because this isn’t going to work.”To say I was shocked was an understatement. What would make her say such a thing knowing I came here for the woman I loved?“That’s the only way I can help you though. Or don’t you want to kill the wicked witch anymore?”She had a sickly smile that I wanted to smack off her face. I glanced o
ANTONELLA’S POVI was curled on the ground with my head on my knees. My hands were still pressed against my ears trying so hard to shut the voices out. Freya was still humming, a song that she knew I hated.The room had gone back to being dark and I had nowhere to run to.“Poor little Antonella. Look at you, all pathetic now without the help of your father and friends.” Freya sang between hums. This time her voice went back to bouncing on the walls and not in my head.I felt like I could breathe a little bit even though for the most of it, I still needed more air in my lungs. I was still on the floor when I felt things, with tiny legs start to crawl on my skin. I jerked up from that position to a standing one and started to swat around my body. I didn’t know what it was, I couldn’t touch anything, couldn’t feel anything either.“Please make it stop. Please.” I begged with fresh tears streaming down my face. I was certain my face looked swollen from how much I had been crying because m
SALVADOR’S POVBefore Danny and I stood a woman dressed and accessorised in the brightest red I had ever seen. It was everywhere that it was hurtful to the eyes to see. But I couldn’t deny that she had a pretty face and a sexy body. Except for the red she had everywhere, in normal clothes she would be regarded as gorgeous. Red lips, Red Hair, Red everything.“Your King is a woman?” I asked and the man didn’t answer. The whole area became pin drop silent and every one of them bowed.“You said there were two men here to see me.” I heard her say like she didn’t notice the men on her floor.The rogue pointed at us, “These are the Alpha King and his Beta. They requested an audience with you.”He sounded nonchalant and her eyes snapped at him. “You made the fucking Alpha King knee on the ground? Are you dense?” she shrieked. He grabbed onto his neck, her claws prodding out and she looked ready to kill.I winced at how loud she was. How did she even go from being calm to crazy in a second?S
