Eve's pov
I turned from one side of the bed, to the other, restlessly. Dripping sweat covered my face. I opened my eyes sharply sitting upright on the bed. It was a dream! My heart was thumping furiously against my chest. I moved my hands to my face dabbing it relentlessly. I picked my pillow to my chest squeezing it to myself. Fear crept into my heart slowly. This was the first time I was having that dream and it really was scary. I stood up sluggishly pulling up the blinds. The reflection of the sun hit me in the face reminding me that I woke up late. With a groan, I left for the bathroom to freshen up. Still in the bathroom, I heard the creaking sound of the door to my room. Someone was coming in? Who was that? I hurriedly washed away the soap on my face trying to get my towel hanged by the door. The dream! I was reminded. With fear, I tied my towel round my body picking up the mop stick near me. I wasn't going to give in. I must confront whoever the intruder might be. As I stood near the door in alert, I had second thoughts. Was it Kaile? Was it Macy? Still in thoughts, the footsteps drew nearer, nearer, nearer. I could now hear my heart beat against the silence. My hand instinctively went to the knob ready to attack as well but I was caught off guard when the person pulled the door open dragging me out of the bathroom. The unaware intrude made the mop stick fall from my hand. A scream leapt out of my throat. Fear!
Not giving in, I tried dragging myself out of the masculine huge hands but it was all to no avail. The man was stronger than I am. I continued with my scream, that was the only defence I could think of. The man was stronger. Not wanting to be caught, he covered my mouth with his hands pinning me to the wall. He moved his face into the crook of my neck wisphering only what was known to him. I wasn't feeling any pleasure. All I was feeling was fear of the unknown and fear of how to survive. Then my chance came! One of his fingers entered my mouth not on purpose. Without thinking twice, I closed my teeth on the finger which was covering my mouth. That was it! My defence. He yelled hurtfully, but I wasn't ready to let go. His screams and yells brought almost everyone running into my room. Tears of relief dripped down my face. I was saved. The trauma was so much for me. Whoever pulled the mab wast from me, I wasn't aware. My mind is clouded. Slowly, I slid to the floor as more tears flowed down my eyes but I was caught at the last minute by that strong, fierce man. Kaile! He put his jacket around me possessively making me come to reality. I was on a towel all through. What I felt wasn't even making me feel embarrassed. I could not hold it anymore. I buried my face into his broad chest and wept. A tears of pain, fear, relief, confusion, all at a time. Kaile made me so relieved, he was very understanding and let me cry to my satisfaction. With hiccups, I raised my face from him looking down.
“Eve?” I heard his gentle, soothing voice. As if I was intoxicated, commanded, I raised my eyes into his directly. I broke down again. What is he doing to me? I became calm after a while.
“What happened?” He asked.
“I…I was in the bathroom, them I heard someone walk in th…then it lead to this. I did not know what he wanted to do. I did not know who he was.” I tried explaining as tears slid down his face.
“It's fine. I sure will take your revenge on him.” I nodded in approval as he helped me to the bed that was when I realized that he sent everyone of them who came to see what was happening away. A feelings crept into my heart. What is that? Admiration? Feelings? Was i touched? Maybe I was after all.
Silence permeated the room for a long while. He seemed lost in thoughts his face on mine intently. This definitely is not convenient. He is making me feel shy, embarrassed. Then the dream came again. It is really a bother to him. Should I tell Kaile about it? Should I not? Can he help me out? Come to think of it, he saved me from the rouge of wolves, he might as well help me out. I should tell him.
“Ahhhmm…” I cleared my throat wanting to get his attention. To my surprise, he did not move an inch. I was forced to poke him with a finger.
“You're still here?”
“Yes, I am. You want to say something?” He asked nicely.
“Yes, I had a dream.”
“Dream? When was that? About what?” He asked all at once. I could see the concern in his eyes even though he tried his best to hide it as possible.
“It was this morning. In the dream, I saw myself happily married to an Alpha. I noticed in the dream that it was a marriage of convenience some what yet, he took good care of me and I as well did not fail to act as I should. The pack members was not left out, they loved our union except two set of people. I did not see their face though but they were the two genders. It seemed they were plotting against myself and the Alpha. I actually cannot really remember what happened next but I saw myself trapped by a man who forced a drink down my throat. The reaction was instant, I fell down unconscious. That was what I saw before I woke up.”
As I finished saying this, I saw something flash through Kaile’s eyes but I couldn't pinpoint what exactly before he looked normal again.
“Did you see where you were? I mean did you recognize the place? How does it look like?”
“I did not notice that. I really don't know.” Kaile seemed to be thinking of what I told him. It seems to bother him a lot because of the way he scrunched up his face. What was happening? Does he know anything about it? Was he involved?
Her POVThe light was so bright, I couldn't help but turn away from it, shying away into the darkness that already surrounded me.'No... the light', a voice said suddenly out of the void.I turned around but couldn't see anything.'Come to me', the voice said again.'Come into the light'I walked hesitantly towards the light and the closer I got the brighter it became. I wanted to stop but couldn't as I continued to walk on as if propelled forward by some unseen force around me, until soon the light enveloped me and there was nothing at all.The first thing I felt was the cold. It was so cold, I missed the warmth of the light. I gingerly opened my eyes, feeling drowsy. I blinked a few times in order to get used to the darkness around me. When I felt more oriented, I tried to sit up but the pain in my head went off like a siren, reverberating through my brain, forcing me to lie down again. I laid down for a few minutes before slowly attempting to sit up again. This time the pain was be
Kaile's POVI stared at the strange woman who was also staring back."What do you mean you don't know?", I asked, a hint of disbelief in my tone."I don't remember", she answered.I blinked. Was she lying? But it didn't look like she was lying. I looked at the doctor."Could this be because of the attack?", I asked him."It's possible maybe she's concussed", he answered as he moved closer to inspect her."Open your eyes please", he told her and she did. He flashed a light in her eyes and examined her."Doesn't seem to be concussed", he said after a few minutes."I'm fine", she mumbled, causing all of us to turn our attention to her."I just can't remember", she muttered softly, her eyes down as she fidgeted with the sheets.Seeing her like that caused my heart to ache."Thank you doctor", I said and the doctor bowed before leaving the room.I nodded at the maid signaling her to leave as well and she bowed before leaving.With the two of us left alone in the room, I could properly take
Her POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror. It had been three days since Kaile saved me and brought me back here. My ankle had healed and I had the last doctor's appointment just this morning. Over these three days I had been trying my best to remember something but it always ended the same way, a crippling headache. I couldn't get past the dark void and it was frustrating. There was a knock on the door and I turned around excitedly."How are you feeling?", Macy asked as she popped her head in.I couldn't help the slight feeling of disappointment I felt when I saw it was her. Macy was wonderful, she was the maid who had come to see me when I first woke up. She had later told me her name and she was the sweetest and warmest person I'd met so far but I was hoping it was Kaile. Over the past three days I was here, Kaile had never failed to visit me even if it was brief visits late in the evening. He was so kind and he seemed genuinely concerned for me."I feel fine", I answered Macy
Kaile's POV"Thank you, Madam Cassandra, you can leave", I dismissed her after I had given her my instructions about Eve.She bowed and left. After she left, I let myself sink into my thoughts. The image of Eve smiling as she called her name flashed in my mind and I couldn't stop myself from smiling as well. Eve, the name really did suit her, the people I knew with that name had the most beautiful smiles."Kaile", Reuben called, pulling me out of my thoughts.I hadn't realized when he came into the room."What is it?", I asked."We've found the rogues we think you had a run in with", he said."That's good, well have we questioned them yet?", I asked."They're dead", he said in a matter of fact tone."Dead?", I questioned."Yes", he answered affirmatively."Where did you find them?", I asked."A little way past the inner boundary pass, almost in Ravenwood territory", he said and I furrowed my brows."Ravenwood territory? Well how did they die? Could you tell?", I asked."It looks like
Ezra's POV"Two attacks within the space of three days! This is getting out of hand!", Lincoln, one of the elder council members, barked.I sighed and looked at Romeo, my second in command, ignoring Lincoln's outburst of anger."The attack was swift, my Alpha", Romeo relayed, catching my glance."We had a small group of soldiers around the area and they were dispatched there immediately we heard news of the attack but by the time they got there, the rogues were nowhere to be found", he continued.I clenched my fists."Casualties?", I asked."There were no casualties but the village was thoroughly pillaged, everything had been catered away, some houses were set on fire but the boys were able to quickly put them out", he answered.I groaned as I mulled over his report."My alpha, this is indeed getting out of hand. How did things escalate to this point? The rogues are getting more and more audacious", another council member said."And what is the army doing to checkmate their actions? N
