Chapter Seventy-nineLaila povHe was too fast.“Kevin wait!” I called after him but he wasn’t slowing down, he walked past a corner and then pushed the door as he stepped out into the open space. “Kevi-” he turned around making me stop abruptly.“What?” he snapped at me, his eyes were narrowed and blanketed in anger and hate, his hair had fallen over his forehead and a bit of it crossed into his eyes. His nose flared and his ears were pinker than the rest of his face.“What is it?! Do you want to give me one of those your silly pep talks to make me feel like i am being overly dramatic.” He snarled and i swallowed.“No, i am not trying to undermine your feelings, i just want to make sure you’re okay.” I stated sincerely. He seemed to relax at my words but the anger in his eyes were still there but his breathing had calmed down.“I’m fine, you don’t need to come baby sit me,” he grumbled and turned away from me, he walked to the balcony and held unto the railings as he watched over th
Chapter EightyLaila POVMy feet moved under the covers as i stirred awake from my sleep, there was a bit of restriction and i felt the slight pressure to my stomach, my eyes peeled opened and i was greeted with strong cheekbones and closed eyes, hair strands were spread across his forehead and with the way his brows were realxed, i could tell that it was Atlas, that meant one ting, the person behind me was Ares. As if sensing that I was thinking about him, his hands curled further into my side pulling me into him. His bare chest pressed against my back exuding the warmth from his body, his legs tangled further into mine and his hands curled around me. His breath fanned my neck, tickling my skin, a soft moan left his lips as he shuffled around and i swallowed and chewed on my buttom lips.I closed my eyes briefly and when i opened them i found Atlas staring at me, his eyes were dim and he watched my reaction as his brother brings me closer to him.“Hey-” he mouths and rested his head
Chapter Eighty-oneKai PovI watched as the girl fell into the snow, she disappeared into the table of snow and i tilted my head to the side. She was a werewolf, nothing is going to happen to her, she will be just fine.“What the hell did you just do?” An angry voice said from behind me, it was one of the twin boys. My eyes landed on him, he was the Beta, his brows was narrowed down at me and the aura around him was murderous.“She is slowing down a lot of things.” I answered taking my stance. “If you two stopped babying her then a lot of things start working.”“She’s not a machine, her transformation isn’t anything that you’ll start and stop just because you think s
Chapter Eighty-TwoLaila PovWhere am i? I pushed against the confines of the dark transparent walls around me. There was nothing by the side and all I could see anytime I looked was my own reflection staring back at me. “Somebody! Help!!” I yelled out but my words only bounced back to me, it was no use i was trapped in here.All i can remember was falling off the cliff and then everything turning black. Now I’m trapped in here with no idea.“Mum!!” i yelled out again hoping that this was another encounter with her but deep down i knew that it wasn’t anything like that. “You’re by yourself.” A very familiar voice said and i turned around to look at who it was but i was only greeted by my reflection.“Hello-” i said with my gaze narrowed on the reflection before me and i realized it wasn’t exactly me. My mouth of myself didn’t move as i talked instead it stared at me with a suppressive grin.“What are you?”“What do you mean?” My reflection asked with a grin, she tilted her head from
Chapter Eighty-ThreeLaila PovWhen I opened my eyes, I was standing in front of Atlas, we were back in the snow and his eyes were focused on mine.“Laila, can you hear me?” he asked and when I glanced down at my body, I realized that I wasn't in my human body. Large paws.White Fur.I was in my wolf form.“Atlas!” I said but then nothing came out of my mouth. Instead, a growl came out of my mouth, and Atlas stroked the side of my face and then I closed my eyes and leaned into his touch. “You’re the one handling me, didn’t expect that you would get that quick charge of me- “ A voice said in my head. I am not a voice, it’s me. Your wolf.“Oh, you’re my wolf-” “yes, i am.” “What happens now? Can he hear me?” “Not yet-” “Laila, can you hear me?” he asked and i moved my head to look at him, of course i could hear him.“It’s best that you go back to your human form.” my wolf said and my entire body, like it was turned over was exposed to the cold.“Laila!!” Atlas said as I collapsed
Chapter Eighty-FourLaila PovIt was the second day into my training and i couldn’t help but suspect Miera’s intention more, but right now i couldn’t say or do anything. Neither of the guys wanted to hear me as they thought it was best not to push my luck with Miera, i could see the doubt in Atlas eyes whenever i was asked to stay in one of the rooms for the meditation, no one was allowed in there and even Miera stayed outside with the rest of them.It should’ve made me feel comfortable but it wasn’t enough. “Laila, did you hear anything i said.” I turned to Miera and then Atlas, this time Ares didn’t show up and surprised me that he was missing this. He had not missed any of the training, he had been present from the very beginning and kept his eyes on me like a bird of prey.“No, sorry i just got a bit distracted. Where did you say Ares is?” I asked and turned to Atlas for an answer but Miera answered instead.“He is taking one of his breaks, and said he needs to mentally prepare
Chapter Eighty-FiveLaila POVWhen i opened my eyes after lighting up the last channel and stepped out of the room no one was there, no Atlas, or Ares and not even Miera. The place was darker and the candles were lit throughout the hallway. I closed the door behind me and made my way to the room, but a soft hissing caught my attention, it was sharp and precise that i had started following the sound that when i reached the end of the hallway i realized how far off it was. My hearing was definitely sharper than before, the hissing got consistent behind the large oak doors which had golden handles, like a magnet drawn to metals, i reached for it when a voice said from behind me.“I wouldn’t do that if i were you.” it was Kai and he had his hands crossed over his chest and his lips in a thin line. “What are you doing back here?” he asked.“Uh- I hea- i thought i heard a weird sound coming from this place.” I answered but when i turned back to the door the sound had seized and all that i c
Chapter 86Laila PovStrong hands pressed gently against my back releasing the tension that had piled up in my spine, I closed my eyes and allowed the pain to roll off and the heat moved down to my heels.Another pair of hands closed around my cheeks, long strong fingers stroking at my skin, they continued and then the hands on my face stroked my ears lobes before moving down to my jaw and slowly down to my neck. The hands on my back trailed down to the small of my back and two fingers massaged just that end. “Laila-” Atlas muttered from behind me and my eyes peered open. “Uhmm?” I answered and closed my eyes again. “Open your eyes love, look at me.” Ares said and like a sirens voice pulling Sailors to the edge my eyes fluttered open, he hovered over me with his eyes on my face. His eyes on the other hand made my entire body stiff again, they were the sharpest shade of red and they glowed, my body felt the magnetic pull and something in my chest longed for him.“Good girl.” Atlas w
