ANTONELLA’S POVI stared at him confused, something he seemed to have made me do since I woke up. I knew he was working with Freya but what did it have to do with me and why did she threaten to kill him if he didn’t hand me over to her? It couldn’t be that she just wanted to get me to my father, because I knew how poisonous she was.“Hand me over? What does she mean by that? Why does she want you to get me to her and what for?” I questioned disdainfully at him.He took a deep breath in and tossed the paper aside. “I told you, didn’t I? The plan was to hand you over to her and she was at liberty to do with you as she wanted. She wanted you as a hostage, hers so that she could use you to force your father into giving her whatever she wanted him to or have him do her bidding.” He replied.“Okay what exactly does she want from him?”“All I know is that it’s got something to do with the eastern province. I don’t know what about it but there’s definitely something there she wants badly.”I
ANTONELLA’S POVThe look on Hermes’ face was enough to send me into panic mode. My ears were still ringing from the shrieking sound we heard. I had never seen him this scared before, not in the entire time I had known him anyways. Not even when he knew Salvador and I were kidnapped.If he was this afraid of her, what should I be, knowing I was the one she was after?I had known Freya for most of my life. She was there when I was a child to the point where I acknowledged that I hated her. She never once tried to act like she cared about me, other than her enforcing rules and making it clear that she was there to replace my mother. This built up my resentment for her to a full degree. What made her think that she could ever be as pure as my mother was when the only thing I knew her as was my father’s whore.She always made sure to hide behind his powers. And he had to be the one who did most of the hard work whenever he had to deal with other packs that he wanted to conquer while she hi
SALVADOR’S POV“Maybe we should have listened to your Uncle.” Martinez snorted beside me earning a glare. As much as I hated to, I couldn’t help but agree with him on that. Maybe we should have taken a better approach knowing that we could be ambushed but it was too late crying over spilled milk.Their growls grew louder and I let my claws elongate as did my fangs. I wasn’t ready to shift as that would shred my clothes and I didn’t want to waste time searching for clothes when I change back when I should be searching for her instead.There were only three of us and at least two dozens of them surrounding us. When they charged at us at the same time, we got into the defence. Their attacks were feral, meaning they didn’t just want to cause damage but also make sure that we were dead. But that wasn’t going to happen, not on my watch.I used the fight as a means to burn off some steam that was my anger. I would have done so on Hermes but since I hadn’t laid eyes on him yet, they would hav
SALVADOR’S POVConfused, lost and broken were what I was. With Hermes dead and not a single clue on where the witch might have taken Antonella to, my mind was blank as space. I didn’t even know what questions to start asking or know how the questions were going to be answered. All I knew was that I wanted Antonella; I needed to find her but some crazy witch took her.She would have been safe had he not taken her. It was his fault the witch had her and a part of me was glad that he met his demise.“How the hell are we going to find her now?” Martinez questioned looking equally exhausted by the whole ordeal as we all were.“Finding her isn’t the big question here man, what Hermes was trying to say. How do we find out what it is and how we can get our hands on it, whatever it is?” Danny questioned taking a seat on the floor.“Maybe we just need to head back to the pack and re-strategize, we’re not going to find the answers we’re looking for if we stay here Alpha.” Martinez suggested. I d
SALVADOR’S POVIt was unusual to see my uncle scared about something. I had always looked up to him as one who was just as great as his brother, my father and that there wasn’t anything he feared. It was shocking to see him as pale as a ghost over a place.Had he been there before?It was not news that wherever it was that Demontes had his hands dipped in became evil but wasn’t that what the Eastern Province was as well? It wasn’t like it wasn’t to be expected.I scoffed, “Well that fucker owns the land, so of course it would be evil.”His eyes snapped to mine, fear visible in his eyes and he had his body shaking. What was this evil he was talking about and why did he look like he was about to die from fear at the mere mention of it?“Whatever you do, do not go there.” He rushed towards me and grabbed me by the collar.“Can you calm down and explain things better to me? What is so evil about the place that’s got you shaking in your pants uncle?”Worry washed over me and so did dread.
ANTONELLA’S POVI stirred awake, consciousness seeping in and my eyes blinked. Or I least thought it did because I couldn’t see anything. It was so dark I felt like I was still dreaming; only I wasn’t. I could smell the dinginess of wherever I was. But where was I?I didn’t have a single memory of how I got here but I got flashes from everything else that happened. Images from how Hermes took me away and how he told me Freya was out to get me. I recalled how he wanted me to run away when she attacked, and how she killed him.She killed him. She stabbed him, in a way he wouldn’t survive.Hermes was dead and Freya killed him in cold blood.She even went as far as tasting his blood, how could she do so much evil and be so?Tears pooled my eyes, and I felt them slide down my cheeks in a never ending flow my hatred for her building like a volcano ready to erupt. I couldn’t help but feel as though it was my fault that he died. Maybe if he hadn’t seen me or taken me then he would still be al
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
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
