Chapter 99- The Third Strike- Part 2Ares POV“Thats enough Morgana,” Atlas stated, he was at the top of the elevation she had just climbed down from. Morgana’s face turned into a deep frown and then her eyes met with the three who were next to her, they exchanged a look that made me uncomfortable. Instead of dispersing as i expected they didn’t move, they remained in their spot like they weren’t aware of the intruder in their midst.“What is? The disrespect that you have for us, then yes, i agree. It is enough.” Morgana replied, “Where is your brother? I’m exoecting two peas in a pod, not one.” As if sensing where i was, she turned and our eyes met, her face which was blank stirred into a smile. It was impecable that she could find me through the crowd- i have sure blended in and far away but she could sense me out of the majority.“Come on, I think this would make a perfect reunion,” she opened her arms wide and then like metal to a magnet, the blade which had been tossed away from
Chapter 100- The final mark(updated version)Laila POV“Ayeesha?” her name rolled off my tongue and I turned to her with my brows creased, her dark brows were no longer knitted and were more relaxed and she stared at the device in her arm ignoring the shocked look on my face.“You two were supposed to take care of them since, what was the hold up for?” she said casually and Andrea popped a mint in her mouth while Calum stared at me, he was the only one paying attention to my reaction and the other two didnt mind my break.“Ayeesha- how? No, this has to be a lie, there is no way this is- this is- is true.” I muttered words stuck in my throat, Ayeesha finally turned to me and placed her hands on her hips, i retraced my steps, my legs moving on its own accord. My eyes narrowed in anger.“Why? How-”“You probably didn’t hear it, you were passed out on the slab and you missed it,”“Missed out? missed out? How much of a traitor you are?-”“Oh please, you had the nudge that something was off
Chapter OneLaila Pov“Happy 18th Birthday Lai,” My friends echoed throwing the confetti made of presents wrappers and some other material. I smiled at them as they flooded me with hugs that sucked the air from me.“Geez, if you guys continue like this, I would be dead before I get to blow out the candles.” I joked closing my eyes as the warmth flooded through me.Harley, my childhood friend whom we basically shared everything together stood in front of me with a beaming smile, her brunette hair bounced in silky waves, it was one of the many things I envied about her. My platinum blonde hair was something I didn’t enjoy having, it was weird that in a town of over twenty thousand people I was the only one that had a striking shade of white for a hair and so I did the only thing that would make me normal, I dyed my blonde hair black. Now that I mentioned it, it was about time I covered up my roots the white as peeking out in small strands.“Happy birthday bestie.” She pulled me in a
Chapter TwoLaila PovIt was a bad dream. All of it, my eyes peered opened slowly and I sighed in relief when I realized I was in bed. Everything was just a dream, a really bad dream.“You’re up.” a voice from across the room said. Me eyes which were droopy snapped opened for good this time and I realized that I was in a bed that wasn’t mine. I tossed the blankets over me as I tried to find my footing but it was difficult as I staggered and held my head from rolling. My vision happened in doubles and my ears amplified the beating of my heart.“You should remain in bed if you don’t want to get unconscious again.” The voice said, it belonged to a woman I have never seen before. Did she save me? why don’t I re- I leaned on the wall and my eyes widened as everything came flooding back. My 18th birthday, Harley and Justine, nearly knocking into the wolf and- My knees buckle beneath me and I slide down to the floor. No none of this is real.Mum and Dad. I saw them, dead. They were de
Chapter ThreeLaila PovA white wolf? I am a from the descendant of a white wolf? Alpha Ares and Ayesha had left me alone but they had also been foolish to think that I wouldn’t be able to get out. I glanced to my side hoping to see if I could use anything, but there was nothing.“You need to get out of here Lai.” I whispered to myself. I was still in my clothes from yesterday, clothes that held so many memories. I should burn them when I get out of here. I checked my wrist, bruised and painful, if I just squeezed I could get out.“You got this,” I bit down on my lips drawing blood on my lips, my left wrist slipped though the first chains and then the second came off. I rubbed my wrist massaging them. I managed to get on my feet and quietly rushed towards the door which was locked.“That’s not do hard.” I pulled at the pin in my hair and picked the lock, it opened after the third push. Slowly I pushed the door opened and peeked out, there was no guards or camera’s in sight.Ho
Chapter FourAres Pov“How did she managed to escape into the night without any one of you knowing?” I spat glaring at the men in my office.“We didn’t he-“ Ayesha sent him a pointed glare that had him shut up.“It shows your incompetence and for this reason you’ll be working double time.” Ayesha said firmly pacing around the room with her hands tucked behind her back.“You’re all dismissed.” I waved them off tapping my feet as they closed the doors.“You should be resting Alpha Ares, you were injured.” Ayesha said calmly folding her hands across her chest. “You were injured last night.” She added.“What about the girl? How is she?” I asked stopping by the window side as I inspected the training outside. “I haven’t checked on her but Atlas said he would stop by to see how she was doing.” My brow ticked at the mention of my twin brother, Atlas.“And you let him?” I questioned turning to her.“You know Atlas, he doesn’t take no for an answer.” She replied. She was right, Atlas wasn’t
Chapter fiveAtlas POVI didn’t expect the girl to be that pretty, yet here she was even in her grief shining in her beauty. Her soft hazel eyes looked vulnerable and her lips were chapped and in a thin line every time I stepped inside the room to give her food to eat. She looked like she’ll rather be anywhere and I made the off comment about seeing the gardens if she ate her food.When she started crying I did expect a nervous breakdown, but she was doing it right in front of me. she had lost her adoptive parents in the past week and she was in a strange place, it was normal that she shed a tear or two but when I pulled her into me my heart raced a thousand times more.Her scent put me at ease and I liked that she leaned on me, I wanted to brush her hair but as usual, my brother showed up.“What in the world is going on here?” Laila pulled away from me like I was a hot stove and my lips spread in a soft smirk directed at my brother.“Nothing that is your business.” She snapped at him
Chapter Six: Marking herLaila Pov“Get up.” Those were the first words I heard, it wasn’t Atlas comforting’s tone instead it was the harsh octave of the woman that hated me, Ayesha. My eyes peered opened and surveyed around, it was still dark from the window. “Don’t make me repeat myself shiro, get up. It is time. I frowned as I rubbed my eyes but made no effort to stand up from the bed. It was still dark why was she disturbing me this early? Had her perso- the rest of my words drowned away in the cold water that poured on my body. “The hell-“ I pranced out of bed, wet and very much cold.“Your initiation starts in the next ten minutes, we have to go.” Ayesha said instead of apologizing. Initiation? What was she talking about? She read the confusion on my face and sighed placing her hands on her hips.“Met me at the front, don’t let me come back here for you.” She said and walked out. I brushed the sticky hair away from my face, I changed out of the wet clothes, luckily Atlas had b

Morgana’s face turned into a deep frown and then her eyes met with the three who were next to her, they exchanged a look that made me uncomfortable. Instead of dispersing as i expected they didn’t move, they remained in their spot like they weren’t aware of the intruder in their midst.“What is?

Chapter 98- The Third strike- Part one of the ending.Maya POVThis was it. I was going to get my revenge on Laila for what she did to me. As I left the room, I stared at her one last time before I closed the door behind me. She didn't bother to spare me a glance nor did her eyes plead with me like i wanted, they were hard to read.“You two are done already?” I turned to the guy who was leaning by the wall, he had probably been there for a while. Malcolm, was it?“There’s not so much to talk about, our last meeting was not memorable,” I answered and glanced down at my watch, we had six hours until the main mission commenced.“I thought Morgana was the queen of holding grudges but you-” he pushed off the wall and walked closer to me. Something about Malcolm bothered me, it wasn’t the fact the Morgana blindly trusted him with her all or maybe it was the emotions bridled in his eyes, there was something he was hiding and I just couldn’t figure out what but it bothered me.“You are the qu
Chapter 97 Laila POV“Maya.” Her name tasted like ash on my tongue and my eyes fell on the woman I didn’t think of seeing soon, not here, not with the woman who was going to cause chaos. She stared down at me with her hands crossed over my chest, her hair was packed in a high ponytail. She was dressed in her signature black outfit, the turtle neck covering up her neck leaving her head as the only available skin showing. “Wait, you two want to know each other?” Andrea asked and for a moment I turned to the girl and watched her mouth drop open.“You didn’t know? Laila and Maya are sisters.” Another voice came from behind me, it wasn’t intended but the hair on my neck rose as the aura of the new person in the room clouded the place.“Wait- they are? You are kidding me right?” Andrea said but my blood rushed as i wanted to see the woman behind me, she stayed there driving me to the wall in suspense, i inhaled deeply.“Come on, cheer up Maya. You’re being reunited with your sister after
Chapter 96Atlas PovMy black uniform fit into my body and i brush the imaginary crease off my shoulders then i straightened my back, my face stirred in the mirror and i noticed the black eyes underneath my eyes and the hollow around. I looked like a dead man, there was nothing to tell me that would make me look more alive. I didn’t want to look more alive when she was missing, right under my nose.“You got this Atlas-” I said and opened my door at the same time another door opened. It had been more than twelve hours since i last saw Ares and now that the both of us stood at the empty hallway, we had no choice but to face ourselves.He didnt look any much better than i did, from his hair which were tousled and his eyes which were a bit hollow, his face was darker than usual and it wasnt the color, just his countenance.“Morning.” I greeted but he only nodded and walked down the stairs with his hands by his side. I sighed and followed after him, we made a beeline for the front door. De
Chapter 95Ayeesha POV“....thats all i remember.” I started and rubbed my forehead, another pain was coming on. I resisted the urge to grab the glass of water from the counter, there were so many people around me and they all wanted answers, especially those of the council. Ares isnt here yet neither was Atlas, Just Derek, Estelle and Kevin were the faces that didnt make me want to hide away. I know that i am the chief commander but sometimes i want to step out of my position and just be, but i know that it cant happen.“Thats enough for today.” Derek said and walked up to my bed side, he faced the rest of the council members. “She has clearly not fully recovered from the poisoning and need to gather her thoughts together.”“Its been three hours, our chances of finding the girl is very low.”“We all know that, but rushing without a proper plan isnt going to be helpful either is it?” he asked and they murmured between themself. I glanced down at my palms and rubbed them together.“I’l
Chapter 94Laila POV“You love, are coming with us to see Morgana.” Andrea said as she disappeared with Sam. My brows creased and I fussed in the rope which was holding me bound, i can’t go there. I need to escape from here and get back to the pack house.“Relax Laila, there’s no need for making a fuss, just remain still because you cant leave this place. The ropes wont easily come off and with Andrea here, you will be down in no time if you break free.” Malcom said and i swallowed. There was some kind of softness that was in his voice and a confidence in what he had said. Ofcourse, they had made sure that i would be bound and made plans even if i tried to escape.‘You should stop thinking about escaping and just let things happen as they should.”“You mean take me to that psychopath? No thank you-” i said through tight lips. Malcom didnt seem bothered that i called Morgana is Psychopath and he raked his hands through his hair. His hands moved to his jaw where he rubbed it subtly and
Chapter 93Laila POVThe first thing that hits me is the pungent smell of blood, my brain had been wired to perceive the disturbing scent from far away and even with my eyes closed and the slight thudding from beneath me that made my body ache didnt take away the mess buried in my head.“What do you think she’ll look like in her transformed state? I’ve never seen a white wolf before.” A high pitched voice said from next to me. Slowly, my eyes peered opened but not wide enough to give off the fact that i was awake. Sand.Flowing water.Large heavy footsteps accompanied with several others. I was not in the garden, i was being carried and the footsteps didnt sound liek naythign i’ve heard.“She’s pretty normal and hyped up if you asked me, there is nothing special to the girl.” The person carrying me said, my body vibrated with his husky tone.“You’re just being a hater Sam, i’m sure she’ll look great.” the feminine voice from earlier said and then their was a light pause on my right.
Chapter 92ATLAS POVThe cut went through deep in my left hand and Daniel’s teeth made sure to leave a mark, i was currenlty in my room after being stitched up by one of the nurses. I was alone going through some old pictures when a knock came on the door.“Come on in.” I said and the door was pushed opened, the scent made me recognize who it was and i dropped the pictures and turned to her.“Hey,” she started with her eyes on my shoulders. “Quite a stupid thing you did down there.” Ayeesha didn’t hold back on her harsh words, she stared at my shoulders and then at my face.“Nice way to rub it in.” I muttered and turned to lean back on the chair but a sharp pains seeped through me. `“He got you good, didn’t he?” she asked and folded her hands around her chest. “You think, but i’m fine. It’s nothing you know. I can handle-” i didn’t realize that she was walking in my direction until she placed her hands on the spot and with a knowing look she pressed hard on my shoulders.“F- Arg@#”
