EthanIt felt as if I’ve been away for years…as though I’ve been asleep for a very long time. I woke up and found myself on the hard ground of the forest and slowly, memories of all what happened started flowing in.Kayla was looking at everyone of us, with a mixed expression she tried to conceal with her smiles. I could tell that something was off, even if I couldn’t place my hands on what it was.I knew I owed Kayla and apology and I was willing to give that to her as long as it would make her feel better. Jason walked up to me some minutes after Kayla walked away and i ceased that opportunity to ask him about what happened.“Can you explain everything?” I asked Jason who took in a deep breath and folded his hands to his chest. He had a small look of guilt on his face and from what I observed, he blamed himself for a majority of what had happened.“Maybe, we shouldn’t have blamed Kayla for anything, even if we were so angry”, Jason started, prompting me to turn cold.“I’ve never s
KaylaEthan was the only person I could talk to. No, I didn’t really say much to him, but I could bear being in his presence unlike Jason. Jason disgusted me to the core and right now, my heart was sealed each time I thought of him. Ethan apologized and I understood. He was the most intelligent and understanding from all of them and so, it wasn’t hard to place my hands on the reason why they reacted in the way and manner they did. “I missed you, Kayla”, Ethan said as he took a hold of my hands and placed a soft kiss on it. I stiffened and wore a small smile on my face. Just then, my eyes darted over to Claire and my heart skipped a beat.“Did you just think of the fact that we are…”, I trailed off as I gazed at Ethan who was suddenly looking as if he had just seen a ghost. “Shit!” He yelped as we both shifted our eyes to gaze at Claire who was now looking at us. From the look she had on her face, it was not hard to point out the fact that she already knew we were mates.“She kno
Third person. The atmosphere was silent. Claire turned to look at Kayla who had a soft look on her face. Kayla was so convinced that Claire already learnt about the secret and so, she wanted to know her thoughts about it. Claire on the other hand was quite confused about what Kayla was pointing at. “I didn’t read anyone’s mind in this forest”, Claire protested but Kayla took in a deep breath and shook her head negatively. The last thing she wanted at this point was to listen to anything that had lies in it.“Ethan and I had a conversation, a very confidential one. You listened to our conversation and I saw it in your eyes”, Kayla insisted, causing everyone around to look at her. Jason cleared his throat after a while and decided to speak up. He was beginning to get exhausted because they had been in the forest for a day and there didn’t seem to be any sign of progress.“Kayla, I think you should step down on what you think. Claire is already going through a lot because she is try
KaylaI stared at Jason who was still kneeling on the ground. My heart fluttered and my heart raced. He was really filled with surprises. Who would have thought that he would be on his knees, begging me for forgiveness after all what he did to me the past couple of hours. “Get on your feet. It’s fine”, I said to him, but the look he had on his face was enough to say that he wasn’t fully convinced about that. At this, I pulled him up and gave him a warm embrace. It was better late than never. I would be leaving them in a couple of hours and the best thing would be to enjoy the best part of them before I finally leave. Jason took in a very deep breath after which he wore a wide smile. “Thank you, Kayla”, he said and caressed my cheeks softly. The hate I had in my heart suddenly went into thin air and my wolf danced around in excitement. Jason had one effect in me…one that was very spectacular. “We need to figure out the best way to make our way out of this forest. The earlier we
EthanThe minute the morning light struck my eyes, I jerked to my feet. My eyes shifted to the corner where Kayla slept last night but it was empty. “Kayla?” I yelped in shock as I stood up and looked around, wondering where she had gone to so early in the morning. I walked around the part of the forest where we camped, hoping that I would catch sight of her around. To my utmost surprise, she wasn’t anywhere in sight. Panic set in at that point and I called out for Claire and Jason. “I think something is wrong. Kayla is not anywhere in sight”, I explained, with my heart beating out of panic. Claire was the first to react. She took to her heels and went around the forest in search of Kayla. “Where did she go to? What is going on?” Claire screamed out of her lungs, almost at the verge of having a panic attack.I sensed trouble in the air at that point. Claire was reacting in a manner that got me scared. It seemed as if she had an idea that something might go wrong. “What’s going
Third person.Everyone exchanged glances with each other as the details of the letter started sinking into the deepest part of their hearts. “She actually left us…”, Jason said in a voice that sounded like a whisper, with fresh set of beads forming on his forehead. Ethan was too stunned that he couldn’t utter a single word. He turned to look at Claire who was staring like someone who was dumb. “Claire, what are we going to do? We can’t leave her alone in this forest”, Jason said as he walked over to clear who looked like she was at the verge of tears.Claire gulped down and wiped the small tears that dropped out of her eyes. She took in a sharp breath as she tried so hard to figure out what next to say. “This forest is a very dangerous place. I’m actually quite surprised that we are yet to get attacked by anything”, Claire said and that was when James recalled something very important. He walked over to her, with his hands folded to his chest and his heart beating heavily. “The l
Kayla. “One hundred and twenty four!” I gasped as I stopped running to catch my breath. I had been running and counting as I did. I had no idea of why I did that but I felt that it was a great means to keep my mind busy. I collapsed to the ground, panting heavily and wiping out the sweats that scattered across my face. My mind drifted off to thoughts of Claire, Ethan, Jason and James. I couldn’t help but wonder what they might be thinking at the moment. I had dropped a letter for them and I couldn’t help but hope that they would listen to the letter and stay away from me. My heart was beating heavily at this point. I had no idea of what I was doing, but it was better to die and others live, rather than being the cause of everyone’s death. The forest beast had told me that if I took the deal with him, he would ensure that the team makes their way out of the forest without any bad thing happening. But then, if I failed to live up to the deal, everyone of them including me won’t liv
Third person.The team were in shock to see how fierce Kayla was with her powers. It looked like a dream at first until they heard the rumbling noise. “Is it the forest beast? Is he here to attack?” Claire asked as she brought out a knife and took her stance. The boys looked around in fear too, grabbing their weapon and looking around to take the beast once it appears. James was the first to see and realize what was happening. He knew Kayla so well. As a matter of fact, he was her trainer and he always knew that her powers were far more than one could think of or imagine. “It’s not the forest beast”, he said with a quivering voice as he stared at the ground that was beginning to tear apart into two different part. They stopped and turned to look at James. “It’s Kayla”, James dropped. They stopped in their tracks and that was when it dawned on them them that Kayla was on the other side and she was creating a rift with their power.“Stop, Kayla!” Jason cried out and tried to jum
