Sharlynn's POV
I decided to walk to Darren's house so that I would think about my time with Kyle. It felt so surreal, I remember thinking he was the most handsome man I'd ever seen but then his foul attitude disgusted me so much that I had to tutor my brain to hate him.
I expected that things would remain that way between us but it turns out that I was wrong. Veilah made Kyle my third mate and I felt bad that it took Kyle being almost rejected, getting possessed and then dying while trying to save me just for me to finally love him back. Wait love? No... Not yet. I knew that what I felt for him was intense - like too intense, even more than it was with Darren!
I didn't realize just how long I'd been thinking about Kyle until I saw that I'd almost reached Darren's house. " Lynn! Thank God it's you!" I heard Nikk say and then I swiftly turned around because I was startled by how scared he sounded.
" What is it Nikk?" I asked and Nikk suddenly av
Ila in Darren's body was happy that her plan had worked perfectly. She hoped that she would gain the trust of the Ridge and the Saunders families when she finally undoes the spell she casted on Tom, Sharlynn and Kyle.She knew that if she uses Sharlynn - the one thing that can cause them turn against each other, they might figure it out faster because they've experienced it before. So,she decided to use their trust in her in her favor.Since only she and Aveera have seen what the scroll says about the maiden of judgment, she knew that now that there is seemingly peace Sharlynn would need to go to the island of the Grehts to learn her duties as a maiden of judgment.Sharlynn would then return afterwards and let the families know that only one family can be granted salvation and when they hear it that would only lead to them turning against themselves and that may not favor her family. So, she thought of another plan... One that they would not see comi
It's been two days since Sharlynn, Tom and Kyle were healed from the vampire transitioning Ila placed on them. Sharlynn couldn't walk from place to place freely because the video of her coughing blood was uploaded on the internet. She had no idea that that even happened, she even thought it was fake but the fact that people everywhere said they saw it happen live meant otherwise. Now she had to teleport everywhere she went so that no one would notice her.But now she was going to start school and there's no avoiding all the questioning that would happen. Sharlynn sighed as she stood in front of the school building, she wasn't going to walk through the halls because that would be a dead give away.Instead, she would teleport to the back of the class immediately class started. She was disguised as a bird perching on a tree so no one recognized her at the time. When she heard the sound of the school bells ringing for the start of class she quickly telepo
Sharlynn's POVKyle took me to his pack right after school and explained to me everything that happened and to his relief I remembered all of it." Ila did this, I remember waking up and her offering me a bowl of water that I drank from without hesitation. After that I started losing my memories, things that I once knew was almost as if I never even experienced them. I forgot about...us." I said and looked at him briefly before I stared at her feet. I was inside his cabin and was starting to feel nervous about being alone with him." It's okay. Now we know that Ila is responsible for this, we have to inform the Saunders and find a way to eliminate her." Kyle said as I scoffed." You want to eliminate the woman who eliminated the woman we couldn't eliminate?" I said and he stared at me wondering what I meant and the he burst out laughing. His entire body shook as he laughed and I couldn't help but wonder how he could even carry himself when he
Sharlynn's POVI came out of the cabin feeling flustered, especially because the pack members were staring and whispering when they saw me. Suddenly, their whispering seized and I turned around to find Kyle behind me. He was dressed in a tank top and Jean trousers while I was putting on his dark blue t-shirt and a short.I knew they already figured out what happened between Kyle and me but I couldn't understand why they were so judgemental about it. Don't they have sex?My phone rang and Kyle handed my phone over to me, while he headed straight to where Kimmel was waiting for him alongside Dean and Kayla. They had a weary expression on their faces as he approached them." Hello?" I answered and I heard Darren's voice reply, " Hey babe, how're you?" He asked and I got angry, I looked at the strange number on my phone and wondered why he was using an unknown number for me." What number is this?" I asked and he paused fo
" where the hell are we going Kyle? At least tell us that!" Kimmel said when he saw Kyle heading into a tunnel in the middle of nowhere where he had led them. "Where else? I'm taking you to where Sharlynn is or did you forget the mission?" He said back to Kimmel. The conversation they were having was only heard by the both of them, because Kyle didn't want to draw attention to himself. " Stop!" He said, this time all of them heard him but an average person who wasn't a werewolf wouldn't have heard it. " She's in there..." Kyle said and they winced when the perceived the smell of wolfsbane everywhere. The tunnel was dark so they couldn't see how the wolfsbane was placed but they knew for sure that it was there. " We can't get in there...even if we make it in there we'd be useless" Dean said and Kyle concurred. " Would you please stop doing that Kayla?" Kyle said as he tried to control his irritation towards her stamping
Ila dropped Kyle on the ground and faced the one who called her. She couldn't believe her eyes, she had assumed that he was dead since no one spoke of him and she never also came across him since she returned.She remembered seeing Aveera kill him with an arrow dipped in blood - the one item that could kill a vampire. How was he alive?" Ron... You're alive?" She said almost breathlessly.Ila remembered that it was she and Ron who found the scroll but when Aveera came she threatened to kill Ron if she didn't handover the scroll but would let both of them go if she gave it to her.Ila didn't trust Aveera but she handed the scroll to her either way. Aveera then said she would be keeping Ron just to make sure Ila doesn't try anything dubious like trying to stab her with a wooden arrow but just as she said that, the arrow Ila had secretly aimed at Aveera's back instead pierced Ron before Aveera killed Ila with that same arrow that had Ron's blood
They all stared at the dead bodies of Ron and Ila that lay cold on the floor. They weren't sure that Ron or Ila was really dead so they stayed back to watch them for a while. The Ridge sons as well as Dean and Kayla were already healing since Ila was dead - her healing restricting magic had now failed."Are they dead?" Nikk asked as he gently placed Tom on the floor." Not yet." Darren said emotionlessly, almost immediately Ron's body burst into flames he didn't even bother to move Ila's body from Ron's burning body." Now he's dead and you're welcome." Darren said as he stretched his body and flexed his arms." How are you even alive?" Kimmel asked as the wounds on his face healed." You'll have to thank Kayla for bringing me back." Darren said as he placed both his hands on his waist and spoke with a sour expression on his face. Kimmel noticed that he was still emotionless - at least to a certain degree." I'm
It had been two days since Claudia and Reyna have been living separately from Sharlynn. Kyle said it was a pain because Sharlynn's health was still deteriorating and Reyna constantly following him everywhere was the worst thing to ever happen to him.Tom chuckled when he remembered how frustrated Kyle sounded on the phone when he talked about Reyna. She was really a handful and wouldn't give Kyle any breathing space.Claudia on the other hand followed him around too but hers was almost unnoticeable since she never bothered him - except from her occasionally judgmental stares she gave him after he feeds on humans. He leaned on the balcony and watched as Claudia caused the dead plants around his house grow because of the visitors who came to their residence after hearing of Ron's death.Tom and Nikk were not sad about his death but they also didn't feel happy about it. He remembered Nikk saying that all his life he spent trying to live by Ron's rules j
Seventeen years later In seventeen years, Hollow hills blossomed immensely and turned into a very busy city with several tourist attractions - as Ricky-Shawn the new Mayor promised. Ricky-Shawn did not remember anything about being Varris' descendants. He was just busy doing what he knew how to do best - be a tough leader. Dean and Kayla still lead their pack and got married formally just to please Kayla's parents. With the help of Kyle and Sharlynn, their pack multiplied but they still kept their pact with Ricky-Shawn's father in order to keep their existence hidden. It was the seventeenth year of Dean's reign and he had thrown a lavish party to welcome all guests from far and near that wished to celebrate with him. The second that Kyle and Sharlynn arrived with new recruits, Dean arranged for them to be taken to guest rooms to rest and ordered them to come for the banquet at night. When the time came for the banquet, Kyle and Dean were astonished by the type of song being playe
Sharlynn's POV" Aliyah, calm down!" I said when she kept glaring at me with this vicious look in her eyes." It's so tiresome to talk to your brothers. You've always known how hard it is for me to do that right? But today, your brother Jamie said something interesting about you being saddled with the duty to save one of the three families. Oh and he told me so many things, like he thinks they all died and no one was survived.At first, I thought. Maybe none of them were good enough to be saved but I'm trying to get milk from the fridge so that I can also thank you for your hospitality and there you are having sex with the same guy I thought you said wasn't good enough."" Aliyah wait," I said but she wouldn't let me speak, " just shut up! You could've chosen to save Tom, why didn't you? You know that I was carrying his child yet you did nothing to help him!" She lashed out at me and I sighed knowing that Jamie was responsible for this. He was
Sharlynn's POV " What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked as he smiled at me. Instantly I felt guilty because I knew he must've been upset or outraged at me for what I did to him. " Lynn...are you... okay?" He asked with a nervous smile and I gulped. " Is this real?" I asked instead as I got up from my bed. His eyes followed my movement the entire time. " I don't know, I've been watching you sleep as I always do since forever. This is the first time that you've actually woken up and said something to me." He said. " What is going on?" I asked but he seemed every bit as confused as I was. " Hey, you're starting to creep me out. Stop looking at me like that." He said and I covered my face with my palms. " Oh... wait. I think I get it, it's all coming back now." He said, his voice sounded low and kind of dull so I looked at him, wondering why his voice was like that. " She made you
Sharlynn's POV " I'm tired Lynn. There's nothing here." Dean said as he sat down looking dejected while scanning through all the things we had checked in his grand mother's room. " You can't give up Dean, let's keep looking. Maybe it's not even in her room!" I said still trying to seem enthusiastic even though I was already tired as well. " I'm sure she died with the spell, besides even if we see the spell how do we know if there is a way to undo it huh?" He asked and I glared at him. " This is your Luna AND your child we're talking about here. At least have some faith." I said and teleported both of us into Kyle's room. " Fuck no! I'm not doing this!" Dean said when he realized where we were. " Whatever emotions are going through your head just shut it out. You're here to find a way to help your family - the one you now have." I said and immediately went through Kyle's drawer. " Was it that
Sharlynn's POV I got to the pack and was told to spend the night at the Alpha quarters because Dean had gotten tired of waiting for me so he went to bed. " I'm sorry, I don't follow!" I said in protest. " I'm sorry, he had a rethink. He said you should rest here tonight and you two will talk in the morning. He also asked me to beg you with this." The elder man who has broke the terrible news about Dean not being available said. " A daisy? Ugh! That's so last year. This doesn't work on me anymore! I'm going home." I grumbled but the man just watched me without saying a word but I knew that in his heart he was probably judging me, not like I cared anyway. " Fine... Where am I to sleep?" I asked and he said, " in the cabin next to the late Alpha's cabin." " But that particularly cabin is creepy" " So creepy" Allen confirmed. " See?" I said as I gestured at Allen who just smiled sheepishly and left me ther
Sharlynn's POVLater that night, I took Aliyah to my house because my mom called and said that they had gone home and were escorted by some of Dean's men.I was a little skeptical about Aliyah coming with us but she had no where else to go and it seemed like my obligation to take care of her." Hey Lynn!" Freddie said excitedly before he ran off to go meet my dad no doubt. I knew that I would have a lot of explaining to do when we got there but... I just couldn't lie to anyone else." Mom, Dad, I brought a friend." I said as I entered the house and pulled a very reluctant Aliyah inside." Really who did you-" my mom was saying but stopped immediately she saw Aliyah." Oh my God... You're alive!" She said and I smiled when I saw how shocked she was that Aliyah was actually not dead. I remembered how she told me I was crazy and how I vowed to prove to her that vampires really did exist. Maybe I didn't really do that or
I followed Aliyah back to the Saunders residence where some other vampires were waiting for her outside." Umm?"" They're from some weird association of vampires, they told me that Tom and everyone in the Saunders family are dead and that they've come to collect everything that belongs to them!" She said with teary eyes and I was honestly astonished at how sad she sounded because she heard of Tom's death." Why did you wait till we got here for you to say so? We could've talked about it on the way Aliyah." I said as I comforted her." And how did you know I was in the wolves' pack?" I asked." My child...she called sensed you. You must've meant a lot to Tom or something..." She said as she held her stomach." It - it's a girl?" I asked and she smiled sadly as she said." seems she'll never see her father."I felt so evil, I should've chosen Tom! If not for anything at least for Aliyah's sake, I never even
Sharlynn's POVMy hands started to shake as I opened the letter and read what was written in it.******"Dear Sharlette, I'm not even going to bother asking how you're feeling because I know it must be tough having to be the one who judges us three stubborn-goat-headed families. I'm writing my one thousand and fifty fourth letter to you because I've missed you so much during the last week.I know it may be hard for you right now but I think I have a solution to your problem. Reyna once told me the reason you had three mates was because you had three personas, each of them picked one of us. She said she chose me because I was wild and reckless like her while you chose Darren because you were both ordinary or something like that.I think you chose Darren because, he was indeed like you. Before Darren became a vampire, he was very lanky and was often bullied pretty much like you must've been - no doubt. And he lived a very poor life becaus
Sharlynn's POVI fell to the ground when Veilah told me, " So here's what I can do for you. I will allow you choose one family to save because I'm not supposed to dwell in this domain for long which means I'm about to go back to the spirit world where my defaulters will face all they deserve in about two minutes!"" Wait what? Two minutes?" I asked, alarmed that we had so little time left and she expected me to come up with a decision just like that!I had tried to think things over should in case Veilah was feeling merciful and she asked me to add another family to save I would have an answer to give her. I wasn't expecting her to tell me to save just one family, this was too much for me to bare.Even though each of the families had at one point in time, offended me I still couldn't just say I don't want them in my life. They all made efforts to work together to save me from Aveera, they've all been helpful to me at one point in time.
