SALVADOR’S POVMy kneed were still rooted to the floor when I heard Danny speak. There was shock and anger both rippling through me. What did he mean by Hermes was spotted with Antonella? Did she run away with him because she was angry with me or did he take her away? As both questions roamed my mind, I realised that the only thing I could do was try to get her back because either way, she was gone with him. That was the only explanation to how she was missing and how she was able to leave pack grounds.Beside Danny was Martinez, who looked equally displeased as I was and I could bet that he was probably thinking that she willingly went away with Hermes instead. But he didn’t know what had happened, none of them knew.And I didn’t think any of them knew that I had finally told her how I felt about her. “We need to find her.” I said in a whisper as if trying to convince myself when I knew it was what I had to do.They both stared unmoving with confused looks in their eyes. “We have to
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 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
