Cara’s povDebby hesitated for a moment. The shift in her heartbeat didn't escape my already heightened senses. I…i read about them in an old journal, a long time ago, that's where I learnt about the cupbearers “ she said but something was not adding up, she talked like she knows them on a closer level than someone who just read them in a book. ‘Debby lied’.I stared at her a little wary of her now, I couldn’t trust her completely, not after she lied to my face. I was lost in thought, my mind racing, but I tried keeping up the facade. “And you think I’m one of them? That I’ve inherited their powers?”Debby nodded slowly. “I don’t just think it, Cara. I know it from the book. The signs are the same that have been written in the book. The dreams, the strange surges of power, the way you broke those chains… you’re a Cupbearer, Cara. The last of them, perhaps.”“But… if I’m the last cupbearer” I whispered, fear creeping into my voice, “does that mean I’m in danger? Could those who destro
Cara’s POV The distant blare of the pack’s alarm echoed through the forest, merging with the pounding rhythm of my heart. Each beat vibrated through my chest, a constant reminder of how far I’d come and what I’d left behind. The sound grew fainter with every step, but I knew it wasn’t over. Not yet. Not until I was truly free. The adrenaline still coursing through my veins kept me moving, the strength in my bones unyielding. But I knew it wouldn’t last. Sooner or later, my body would give in, and I’d have to face the consequences. My limbs already felt heavy, a dull ache settling into my muscles. “I’ve escaped from Brian.” The thought brought a strange mix of relief and pain. His name made my heart ache, and for a fleeting moment, guilt flickered within me. I was running away from my mate. The bond between us, though fractured, still tugged at me, reminding me of the path I had chosen. But I shook my head, forcing away any lingering guilt. ‘I won’t feel sorry for someone who’s p
Cara’s POV “Oh my God! What in Lily's! name happened to her?”Aa thin voice shrieked, almost making my ears bleed. “Shh, she’s sleeping! You’ll wake the sleeping beauty,” another voice, older and calmer, hushed in a low tone. “She is so beautiful has a Grey white hair. Just like lily” the girl's voice kept on ringing in my head. “Aiden, I can’t believe you did this to a girl,” said a third voice, feminine this time, her footsteps echoing as she moved closer. “The strap was faulty. It was not my intention” another voice replied with bitterness to the feminine voice. “Is she dead? She’s been asleep for two days now. Please tell me she’s not dead,” the little girl's voice chimed in again, full of worry. “Hahaha, Arden! I told you to approach her peacefully in the forest, but no, you insisted on doing it the ‘fun’ way. And now, she’s been out for two days!” Two days? I’ve been unconscious for two days? My heart raced as panic washed over me. *Where am I? Am I dead?* The thought fr
Cara's POVThe undeniable alpha aura followed his footsteps. His pressure bearing down on the twins who were already trembling in horror. It has never been a time where a non-alpha challenges and wins an alpha. It's an unspeakable and undeniable rule in the whole of Ellorin.His gaze swept across the room, and for a brief moment, the air grew thick with power, forcing everyone, especially the twins, to lower their heads in submission. The nurse, who had been standing silently by, cast her eyes down in guilt, likely having alerted him through the pack link.Oh, big brother, Siden is being mean to me!” Emma’s shrill voice shattered the heavy silence as she pointed an accusatory finger at her brother."Emma, you shouldn’t be here, remember you must follow the Alpha'sinstrustions," the Alpha said, his menacing aura vanishing immediately as he addressed her. His tone softened instantly.“Okay, big brother, I’ll go to training now,” she muttered, her earlier defiance melting away. Only the
CARAThe scent of rain lingered in the air, mingling with the sharp tang of fear. My heart pounded like a war drum as I sprinted up the worn stairs of the old building. The cold, damp air bit at my skin, but I didn't stop. I couldn't stop. “Cara, wait!” Alice's voice echoed through the empty corridors, filled with concern. Her plea was swallowed by the groaning of old wood beneath our feet, but I didn’t turn back. The shadows seemed to close in around me, tightening their grip as I forced myself forward, tears burning my eyes.“Just leave me alone!” I choked out, my voice raw and trembling. I didn’t care how broken I sounded, I just needed to escape this endless nightmare to find some sliver of peace. My park is a very big pack. It has many structures and investments to its name,one of these structures being this place, the servant quarters,a place that we the Omegas and lesser packmates call home. A building that has been left in the mercy of destruction by my alpha, but seeing
CARA "it's Alice!" the person behind the door answered amidst consistent banging, I took a deep breath calming my already racing heart, for a moment I thought it was them. the pounding on the door, intensified, adding to the headache I already had from crying too much over my pitiful life. I managed to get up from where I sat, wiped my eyes, and went to open the door for her. “Oh my God, Cara, are you okay?” Alice exclaimed, grabbing me the moment the door opened. “I…I’m…” I couldn’t finish my sentence before breaking down again, but Alice was there to catch me. “Cara, you need to tell me what happened. Why did the Alpha summon you to his office? Are you in trouble? Please, Cara, tell me,” Alice pleaded, her voice full of concern. I tried to calm down, and after what felt like an eternity, I was able to speak. I told her everything, how Alpha Black planned to sell me off for his benefit. When I finished, Alice, usually so talkative, was speechless. I watched her as she
CARA The Party had already started when my escort and I arrived at the park hall. The hall was filled with important personnel in the park like the beta, with his family and the delta , followed by the elders of the park and some other important people. Also, some strange faces were also included in the party, those I immediately recognized as the emissaries of the neighboring park that have come to take us. I was led to the stage where the Alpha was entertaining his guest and also were the other four girls who were also to be taken were seated. I was surprised that I was the last to come, but it probably makes sense cause the other girls have been told a long time ago, while I was just being aware of everything this morning. I took my seat at the table where the other girls were seated with smile plastered on their faces. deep sense of disgust came over me at this girls that probably knew what they were going into but are happy and looking forward to it. I sat throughout that
CARA The leaves were wet, and the soil was sticky. Rain had just fallen, and I was drenched, despite trying to take cover under a tree canopy. It was all to no avail. It’s been three days since my escape from the pack, and to my surprise, I haven't come across any rogues, nor has my Alpha sent anyone after me. Maybe they didn’t survive the attack. I felt a pang of guilt thinking about my friend Alice. How did she fare? Is she even alive? These thoughts echoed through my mind as I lay on the damp ground, shivering. I know I’m now a wanted criminal for abandoning the pack during a crisis. I can’t go back even if I wanted to. If I’m caught, it’ll be an execution. I kissed my teeth in frustration, not knowing where to go or how to survive. My consciousness was slipping as the day wore on. I’m just a weak and pathetic Omega. The only good thing about us is our ridiculously fast healing. But I guess fast healing doesn’t work on an empty stomach. I sat up with the help of the tree, its
