Chapter Twenty-three

Atlas POV

She slumped in my arms as I carried her back to the house. I was on my way back to the main house when the sudden rush of danger crawled over my skin. It had led me to the castle where i saw Ares leaving but someone else was there and by the time I reached inside and found her crouched down in the corner with her breathing shallow.

Now I was at the door which I kicked open with my feet, Ares was pacing around with his hands raking through his hair. He stopped when he noticed me in the room, there was a slight discomfort in his eyes which was replaced with disdain. His eyes moved to the person cradled in my arms.

He turned to retreat, he had chosen to ignore the fact that something was back there and move on like it wasn’t a problem. It was nothing new, Ares had a way of hiding away from his problems rather than facing them head on, he might be the Alpha but his response to emotions are off the charts. Maybe that’s why he is the one leading the pack an

    Chapter Twenty-FourLaila PovThe tension in the house increased over the days, Ares was already cold to me and he made sure that i knew that. He didn’t spare me any glnace when he left the house which was nothing new but Atlas on the other hand. I hadn’t seen him since, everytime i had gone to his room he wasn’t in and i was by myself most of the time. This morning i decided to go out for an early morning, i opened my door quietly and tugged down the hem of my hoodie. There was a quick shuffle behind me and i turned to find Atlas who was stuck at the door.“Atla-” he entered back inside the room without sparing me a glance. I rushed to the door and placed my leg just before he could close the door. “Atlas-” I said calmly. He remained quiet and stayed behind the door. “Atlas, please talk to me.” “Move your leg Lai, i don’t want to hurt you.” He said and pushed the door, i realized that this was a fight where i was going to loose.“Oh-” i retreated and moved away. I started running t

    Chapter twenty-fiveLaila PovWhen Kevin told me about the race, i found out that i could use it as a perfect distraction from the problem at hand. I had dressed up in the most casual way possible, gym thighs, sports bra with a cropped hoodie to cover up. Neither Atlas adn Ares were in when i left and i jogged up to where Kevin said they were going to meet up. Ayesha who was talking to one of the guys stopped when she noticed me around, she continued but kept her eyes on me and called me over. I glanced around hoping to see Kevin but he wasn’t there yet and so i moved towards her and stood next to her.“Just make sure they’re at the borders and done with the inspection.” She said.“Yes ma’am.” the man responded and moved out leaving just me and Ayesha.“You’re here.” she stated glancing down at the watch strapped to her wrist. “Yes, i have nothing else better to do.” I answered checking the group of people that were forming around. “Will you be joining the run or will you just watc

    Chapter Twenty-six Laila POV Before the hunt, I had taken out time to go through the geographical mapping of the area, it was easy to get it especially when it was right on Ares office wall. I agree that it wasn’t the best thing to do, i mean to sneak into his office, for some reason he seemed to lock it making it easier for me to go in. I had taken pictures quickly and stepped out before someone caught me and rushed back to the room where i replicated the image on paper and studied the outline. Now that we raced into the greenlands, i placed the images in my head in front of me as i slowed down the further we moved. The rest brushed past me and moved further into the darkness while i stopped and stared. I noticed that Kevin slowed down and turned back to find me, he rushed to me. “What are you doing? It’s not time to stop-” he said with urgency. “We should be movinng, the hunters will find us in no time if we delay.” “I’ll be fine just go on ahead without me.” I said turning away

    Chapter Twenty-SevenLaila PovIt wasn’t a really smart move to go all out to the plains by myself, especially since it was my first time participating in the hunt, but from my instincts, this was the best option I could go with. It was natural to want to follow the rest of the prey into the forest where there would be more protection and a harder chance of getting found and even running away from the hunters if they eventually found them. “What are you doing Laila, you still have the chance to go back and do as Kevin says.” I muttered to myself but my legs kept on forward. It would be bad for me if I got caught a few minutes into the hunt, embarrassing if I was the first. It would just prove to Ayesha and even the rest of the pack that it wasn't any much of a big deal compared to what they expected. To say that the reaction from Atlas or even Ares would be one of disappointment, Atlas mostly, Ares, I’m not so sure. Stop.My legs primed to a halt and my ears pounded as my heart thu

    Chapter Twenty- Eight Laila Pov I gasped out as the bitter girl knocked the air out of me, it was just a gentle push that had all the air sucked out from my lung. My eyes bared at the plain sky above me as my thoughts fought hard to make a deal of what I had just seen. Then she hovered above me with her signature wicked smile. I swallowed and tried to get up to my feet but my legs wouldn’t move, her feet had locked down on my knees and while I struggled she pressed down harder making me yell out in pain. Her boots mercilessly pressed against my leggings, ripping them and fiddling the skin around my knees. “Arg-argh-.” I groaned as she removed her legs from mine and she stepped back but then came back to me and hovered. “That’s what I like to hear, the groans of someone who is powerless and useless.” She started and chewed on her bottom lips again. I glanced down at my knees and stared at the bruise on it, there was a small gash on it. I returned back to the ground and calmed my b

You’re going to save her? What happened to letting her find out things for herself.” He said watching with me. Rachael found us and walked in our direction with a slight frown on her face.“what is the girl thinking?” She asked quietly. “Kevin said she rushed into the plains, that’s nuts.” She admitted and i sighed.“Its nuts but smart, she’s one of the rest who haven’t been caught.” Ares said comfortbly, he made a small tug with his brows. Neither of us said any more as Ayesha welcomed back the new set. Most of them were exhausted and had injuries which were already healing. They found their friends and smiled in groups as they conversed ab

I had seen her come back into the thick forest from where i scouted above but when i saw her with collins i had to figure something out before she got found. Now i was rushing farther away with her in my arms as Remy chased us, I wasn’t a fan of those three especially Estelle and Remy and i did my best to avoid them at all cost. Now Remy managed to find us even with me standing at the top of the tallest tree within the area.“Can’t we move unto the ground? Isn’t that better?” Laila asked as she held unto my back as i moved. “Not yet, unless you promise me that you’ll do exactly as i say.” I said to her and diverted down to the branches. Remy moved discreetly but i could perceive his scent, he was near and if i didn’t pick up my pace, he was going to get to us.“Fine-” I noticed that the scent from behind us was gone and i saw the chance to talk to her properly. I stopped at on

The two voices continued while my eyes remained shut, my body was as tired and unmoving but the noise around kept me conscious. I redcognized the firrst person as Ares and the second as Ayesha, whereever i was, it was a bit cold and the voices echoed over the wall. “You two aren’t helping, you can talk about this outside.” This time, this voice was closer and it was Atlas. The rest of the noise blurred away as i tried to find myself and when i slowly opened my eyes, i found Atlas watching me with his eyes trailed on my face. I pushed backwards and put my back against the headboard while i glanced down at my body.“What happened?” I asked noticing the bandage on my neck on the mirror close by, i placed my fingers around the material and scrapped against it gently. “You passed out-” he answered as he accessed me.“yeah, i remember. It was that remy guy- he- that guy-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
