Chapter Seventy-SevenLaila POV“Thats enough for one day.” Miera said as Grim’s body dissolved underneath the snow, she moved her fingers clearing off any more piece of Grim left off on the ground. My chest heaved up and down as i stared at what was in front of me, my wide eyes dimmed and i turned to Atlas, who was unmoving in the snow. “Atlas-” I muttered under my breath and pushed off the ground before racing to him, i knelt beside him and with shaky hands i touched his arms. He doesn’t budge and when i push him further he falls on his back with his face up at me. There was no sign of blood on him but there was no form of movement from him. Anxiety.Fear.Guilt.All three wretched up within me, he was in this position because of me and he wasn’t moving. Tears trickled down my cheek, the drops fell on his chest as i watched everything fall apart. Atlas was hurt and it was all because of me.I cradled my face in his chest in hope of him waking up, but my mind went back to what Grim
Chapter Seventy EightMiera POV“Prophecy?” She asked clearly oblivious to what has been written.“You don't understand what is going on?” I asked and started at the twins but they were already avoiding my gaze“I know that a white wolf was meant to do great things but no one told me about stopping the world from going into complete chaos.” She answered, so she did hear about it but it didn't mean she knows the gravity of the prophecy.“Why didn't anyone tell me about the prophecy? All I heard was that I was the one to put a stop to Morgana’s madness, nothing else-” she crossed her hands other her chest. “It was enough to know that you were the reason for all that Morgan's wanted to do.” Atlas started and then leaned into the table with his palms crossed together. “We didn't need to tell you about the prophecy, it wasn't necessary-”“Well it would have given me a bigger picture to walk with.” She started and her eyes narrowed in on Atlas bit he wasn't disturbed by her glare.“Thats e
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 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 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 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@#”
