Chapter77Aaron's POV.I stared at her from where I stood, while she looked at the window. Her recovery seemed faster than usual, but it wasn't clear to me why I couldn't stop staring at her. There was just something about her that brought her closer to me. “M-mary?” I finally called with worry on my face. There was no doubt. That there was something wrong. She seemed to be lost in thought for a while. Besides that, she was a wolf, and couldn't even notice my presence.“Oh, um…” She blinked twice, trying to understand whatever I was saying in the first place. “I'm sorry. Have you been there for a long period of time?” she asked with raised brows, making me nod?She looked super innocent, but whenever she stood there lost in thought, I felt like there was nothing I could do about it.“Mary, you're thinking way too much. I know it's not easy, but you have to put yourself together. Besides, we are going to save Kira, but if you–” She continued speaking with me. “Don’t recover on time,
Chapter78Mary's POV.The moment I heard the question, I blinked my eyes, trying to understand what he meant by all he was saying.It wasn't clear to me why he talked about Clark, but I got an uneasy feeling in my tummy when I heard about Clark.My heart drummed, and I didn't know how long I was in thought. However, I drifted out of thoughts when his hands touched my shoulders.“Aren't you going to answer the question?”Aaron asked, holding my hands in his.“I want to know why you, and Clark don't get along. You are both distant from each other, and we need unity in other to fight Aric,” Aaron explained, but I frowned.I really wanted to tell him that we couldn't defeat Aric with Clark, but then I didn't know how he would take it. Besides, he trusted Clark really well.It took a while, but I was finally able to look into Aaron's eyes. However, I discovered he was really close to me.His face was so close to mine, which made me kind of uncomfortable.I gulped, and backed away, but tripp
Chapter79Lucian's povI twirled around the bed, but then I snapped my eyes open. Sweat trailing my head with confusion filling my gaze. My eyes darted around the room, and I noticed I was in a strange place. However, I stopped my gaze on a figure standing in the room.Because of how dark the room was, I didn't really take note of the figure.“You're awake!” I heard a female voice, and then I saw the figure approach me. The way she screamed made me wince. I was in deep pain, my head was throbbing with a headache that refused to go away.I growled in a low tone, rubbing my head with my eyes closed as I tried to calm the throbbing pain I felt on my head.“You aren't feeling well?” This time, the voice was closer, and by the time I opened my eyes, I noticed a beautiful petite girl standing by my side.“I Just have a headache,” I explained, pulling my gaze away from her.This was the second time I had seen this girl, but I didn't know where I was, or who I was. All I knew was that I appea
Chapter80Lucian's POV.I noticed she blinked twice. Maybe she wasn't expecting the question I asked her.“Umm…” Cookie replied, and lowered her head, then she raised her eyes to look into mine.Her heart was drumming constantly, and her throat tried to gulp down the lump I guess was in her throat.“Cookie?” I noticed her hesitancy to speak, so I called out for her attention.“Yes, I'm sorry it's just that the way I found you was a bit weird. You were floating on the river with a wound. You were unconscious, and I was so scared, I wanted to call mother. However, I recalled the current of the river could take you away, so I dragged you to shore.” She explained with a worried look on her face.“Do you know what happened to you?” She asked, but I shook my head. I don't know what happened. I didn't even have the slightest clue, and it was making me worried.“I don't know, but I'm having nightmares. I can't fully recall them, but they keep coming. I don't know what else you can do to help
Chapter81Mary's POV.I had been really distant from the men these days. The truth remained that I wanted to be alone. I was still trying to reach out to Lucian. I knew he was alive, but the fact that I couldn't reach out to him was what bothered me.A knock on my door snapped me out of my thoughts, and made me twist my neck towards the door.From the scent, I could already tell who it was, but since I wanted to be alone, I kept quiet.They were Aric's men, and couldn't be trusted. I also didn't understand what was going on with my heart.Resisting Aaron was almost impossible no matter how I tried to recall the pain of the past, so I decided to stay away from him.The knock became constant, making me frown. If I didn't say anything, wasn't that supposed to give him the memo that I didn't want to speak to him.My heart squeezed when I thought about me abandoning him. I didn't know what he did to me, but each time Aaron was close to me, I got tingles I never thought I would get in years.
Chapter82Lucian's pov.I didn't understand what she was trying to say. How could I be a witch? The theory was confusing. Can't I just be normal? Cookie stared at me, her mother also smiling. I didn't know why, but It seemed they were happy to see their kind.“If you are witches, then why did the alpha of the pack let you stay?” I asked with raised brows. I was really confused.“We help the alpha. His men sometimes need medicine, so we were made the Pack healers, but it's a good post. At least we're respected.” The explanation I got was enough. I really wanted to know about myself.“How can I be a wizard?” I questioned, making Cookie smile. She inched closer, her eyes staring into mine.“You just have the bloodline of a witch, and it gives you some special abilities, but then there's no need to feel weird about It,” She explained.Martha excused herself, leaving me alone with Cookie who smiled. The way she looked at me was something I couldn't explain.She reminded me of someone, but
Chapter83 Mia's POV. I sat on my seat, anger filling my being. I knew that alpha couldn't be trusted, but I was desperate. I didn't like the fact that something else was going on. I didn't know what was going on. He was only supposed to get the girl, but then it seemed he had other plans In mind. I didn't go on the day of the invasion, and decided to go check on the shadow moon pack the next day. However, when I got there, I saw people trying to check whatever was left from the pack which was torn down. My eyes widened, and I rushed towards some of the pack members who were crying over their loss. “E-excuse me,” I stammered. “What happened here?” I asked, trying to understand what was going on. My heart was drumming faster than usual, and the need to know what happened took over me. The woman, and men looked at me with pain in their eyes, but none of them wanted to speak out. I could tell it was because of the pain they felt. “Our pack was attacked, and as you can see, we los
Chapter84Kira's pov.I felt pain all over my body after another torture that came from him. I couldn't believe I was in this mess. It still felt like a dream to me. One I wished to wake up badly.I thought everything would go great, but my life took a drastic turn. As if that wasn't enough, Lucian didn't come back as he promised, and I didn't know how long I would be able to hold back.The torture was too much, I was becoming overwhelmed by it, that my being was feeling itself being drained away.The door pushed open, and I was shocked to see the young maid who had been taking care of me.She rushed to my side once she got into the room with worry in her eyes.She couldn't dare speak against the alpha, but her eyes showed It all.“Ma'am Kira, are you alright?” She asked with raised brows, causing me to frown. I didn't like her calling me ma'am, and despite my hurt state, I cared about what she called me.I had told Melody about her calling me by my name, and nothing else. However, she
