*FREYA*I got on my knees and let out a scream as tears blurred my vision.I don't know what happened but raw power filled me and I let my fire take over. Something my mother had warned me about and in an instant I was standing face to face with Galen who looked horrified and dropped the gun he was holding.His lips trembled in fear."Freya Allan... don't kill me we can talk about this...I made a mistake" he pleaded but it was already too late.My fire consumed him as the night was filled with his screams of pain and watched him without any remorse until his body became nothing but a mere skeleton.I let go of it and it dropped to the ground in a pile of ashes.Whatever was controlling me it wasn't Ember and it was something more powerful.I rushed to my mother's side to make sure that she was okay. Luckily the bullet only hit her shoulder.Her face softened."I'm okay don't worry about it...but Rogue needs that antidote." I nodded quietly.I wasn't going to let anything happen to
*LAIN*I woke up to the sound of laughter and groaned in annoyance.It was my little sister Nyra, probably joking about something with my dad.I grabbed my nearest pillow and covered my ears to block out the sound.“Lain you have to wake up, its Christmas morning.”My mom was knocking on the door and Sooner or later, I knew that if I didn't get my lazy ass out of bed, she was going to grab me by the ear and force me downstairs.I groaned deeply.“I'm coming, mom, I just need a minute.”I heard her footsteps slowly fading away and tossed the covers to the ground.Ever since I turned sixteen, I turned into the black sheep of the family and I would rather not do anything fun.It's like while growing up I was killing the kid inside me, but it wasn't exactly easy to act like a kid, especially when your father is the alpha of the pack, and you're next in line.I stripped out of my clothes and stepped into the shower as the cold water drenched me.I was one of those kids who weren't too happ
*LAIN**FIVE YEARS LATER*Ever since that fateful day, I was taken in by an organization called the dark tide. It was an organization that owned half of the assassin's around the world.It consisted of humans and supernatural beings, but the humans had no idea of our existence, and we liked it that way.It made everything much easier.I was trained to kill in cold blood without any remorse. Witnessing the deaths of my family broke me, and I had become a shell of the person I used to be.I lost my wolf, Axel five years old. Was that even possible? I shrugged carelessly as I looked at the glass of whiskey that had reached halfway.I have no idea, but ever since the day I lost everything I have never been able to summon him or transform.It made me feel like a human and much more vulnerable.Working for the dark tide is like walking on a right rope while wearing a mask, and I guess that's what made it thrilling for me.They owned our lives, and they had the power to end it whenever we
*FREYA*He looks at me with wide eyes and drops something to the ground. When I glance down, I actually notice that it's a silver dagger glowing in the club.What the actual fuck?"Mate!" he yells while staring at me, adding more discomfort.I chuckled awkwardly."I'm sorry, are you Australian or something?" I asked curiously while eyeing him up and down.Before he can reply, a gunshot echoes spiking up my adrenaline as the club is filled with screams and people start running for their lives.Someone pushes me and this tall dark stranger holds me in his arms, taking me by surprise."Shit," he muttered quietly while looking around the club.I'm too buzzed to even care what he's talking about, and the chaos is making me feel a bit sick to my stomach.I let out a scream when he grabs me effortlessly and tosses me over his shoulder like I weigh nothing."Put me down!"My vision is almost blurry as he exits the back door, ushering us to safety as the bullets become more frequent and people
*LAIN*I haven't spoken to my wolf for the past five years, and when he suddenly shows up out of nowhere because of this girl, I'm left speechless.He eliminates all the bad people who wanted to hurt her and have the dark tide on my case thanks to this supposed mate connection.But I don't believe in it.Supposedly, the moon goddess paired me off with a girl. Where was she when my family was getting slaughtered by those damned vampires?Oh, right, she was busy playing matchmaker.Axel howled when he saw the girl trying to run away. And I couldn't blame him, not many humans knew about our existence, and what she saw here must be driving her crazy.My wolf ran after her and pounced on her before she got very far.“Humans are always very slow,” Axel chimed while staring into her terrified eyes.He snarled at her, and tears rolled down her cheeks.He didn't intend to make her cry.Axel got close to her, making her whimper, and she closed her eyes, crying harder.The poor girl probably tho
*DREX* I pressed the gun deeper into the boy's temple, sending him a nasty glare if he dared to blow our cover.He nodded frantically, filled with fear and licked his lips when I cocked a brow at him. The Dark Tide had decided to kidnap him as a means of tracking down Freya.His eyes widened in shock and he glared at me.A smirk curved my lips. I couldn't believe that this kid had the balls to glare at me. I'd shoot him if the Dark Tide didn't need his ass to track down Lain and Freya.The phone was on loudspeaker.“Noah, is that you?” She asked curiously.I pressed the gun deeper, and he swallowed hard, closing his eyes for a brief moment and opening them again, plastering a fake smile like he could see her.“Of course it's me, Freya,” he chipped excitedly.She sighed with relief from the other end while my team kept trying to track down her location.We only had a few minutes to do so before Lain grew suspicious.“When I saw the chaos in the club, you were the first person I though
*FREYA*I was furious when Lain snatched the phone away from me just because he was being very paranoid."I wasn't done talking to Noah, why on earth would you even hang up?" I asked, feeling irritated while he maintained his signature poker face.He shrugged carelessly and turned off my phone."The Dark Tide are trying to lure you into a fucking trap, and you stupidly fell for it. You've been on the damn phone for three minutes, and I'm sure that allowed them to enough time to have leverage on us," he ranted.He ran his fingers through his messy hair, blowing out a breath.There was something strange about this man other than turning into a badass werewolf like in the movies.It feels like there's something much darker about him, but I can't seem to figure it out.He turned to glare at me."Why are you staring at me?"I licked my lips, which suddenly felt dry, and narrowed my eyes at him."You called me your mate at the club."The word "mate" instantly made him tense, and it made me
*LAIN*When my eyes finally open, the smell of smoke fills the air, and I can't help but wonder what happened.Then it all comes back to me.Drex actually fucking shot me.I slowly get up and wince in pain when I trace where the pain is coming from, but the funny thing is that my hand isn't covered in blood like I expected it to.I had a small scar where I was shot.What the actual fuck?I can't seem to wrap my head around it.While grabbing some clothes, I realize that I haven't seen Freya since I woke up.Did Drex take her?I look around the cabin searching for her and just as I'm about to lose the little sanity I have, I see a hand behind the tree.Dread fills me, and the mere thought of seeing Freya's dead body sends me reeling.He killed her and left her here.I swallow hard and begin walking towards the tree, and when I'm finally close enough, I'm stunned to find Freya's naked body.My eyes widen in shock as I check her pulse and for injuries.She looks pretty fine.Axel growls
