Kiara’s POV
Bernard’s sick laughter was getting on my nerves.
As I supported myself on my shaking arms, I tilted my head to throw him a glare.
“What’s so funny?” I gritted out.
“Seeing you get tamed.” He said, smirking down at me.
To twist things around a bit, Bernard suggested that I was better off getting trained under Marcus. Counting on the fact that the latter was in love with me and would not be as bad as Bernard, I happily welcomed that change in my daily routine. But I’ve never been more wrong.
Marcus as a lover was tender and caring, but Marcus was a trainer? That was a whole
The town was bustling with energy as crowds filled the roads. We had arrived at the peak hour when the market just opened and tradesmen were busy opening their stores while impatient clients eagerly cruised inside. After training, Marcus announced that he had to step into the town to take care of a few things before we set off on our journey. I offered to come with him, hoping to interact with the pack while he was busy taking care of his business. The pack acknowledged me now as it was evident from the way they would grow alert at my arrival in any store. I could sense the respect they held for my position, but there was something different about the way they looked at me. They wouldn’t look at me with the fondness Amanda was subjected to. Was their distaste towards them purely out of their reluctance to replace their Luna or did it stem from something different? Choosing to ignore it for now, I wandered through the streets. A particular shop stood out to my eyes and I was instant
“How was your day?” I asked as we hit the highway.Marcus was staring out the window as life outside passed us by like the wind. In the front, I could see Bernard enjoying a quick nap while he still could, but upon hearing my voice, his eyelids fluttered apart.I felt Marcus' body sink with a sigh, “Awful.”That was not the reaction I was hoping for.“What? Why?”“Our pack is not very pleased with us, Kiara.” He said, “They’re upset to know that we’re sheltering a vampire.”Suddenly, images from this morning came into my head. I could vividly remember feeling out of place amongst
Kiara’s POVThe moon hung low in the sky, only revealing itself every now and then. For the most part, the night was daunting and dark, making me grow alert at every small movement, every small sound. Bella and I had long crossed our regional boundary and were currently traveling through foreign lands, where danger could be looming in any corner.The witches’ kingdom lay in a place that could not be accessed easily even by supernatural creatures. Our abilities as wolves were severely diminished, and we only had to rely on our human form to finish this journey. It had been tiring to say the least, filled with adventure and adrenaline, but we were finally getting close to our destination now. Beside me, Bella was following the map we were given at the beginning of the journey, before Marcus and I parted ways.&nb
Marcus’ POVThe warm breeze from the sea was hard to miss as I strolled through the busy streets of the south. Humidity was apparent in the air, unlike the chill of the north or the gushy winds of Ingram. The mighty ocean had been magnificent last night when I arrived in town, perfect for a good night’s hunt. I had never been more gutted that I couldn’t transform into my wolf, for it would have been a splendid night.Now as I walked through the crowds, I couldn’t help but feel Kiara’s absence by my side. In any other circumstance, this would have been an amazing place for us to take a break in and enjoy. It was so different from the places we’ve lived our entire lives, and some change would have definitely done us good. Down the line, if all went well, maybe I could plan something for K
Lucien’s POVMy father was a brutal man. For him, nothing was above his desires or wishes. Not even his own son. When I went behind his back and supported the werewolves in rescuing Bella, I had given him the perfect opportunity to eliminate me. He had never been fond of me, for I was the only one that didn’t encourage his cruel ways. My younger brother, Arthur, was a much better son to him, for he always supported his notions.Because of this, my father was waiting for me to fuck up in anyway, so he could find an excuse to kill me. When I handed that excuse to him on a silver platter, he almost succeeded in killing me. It was because of Bella’s pack that I was alive.For over a week, he had people thrash me until I bled out. I was deprive
Kiara’s POVThe waves of the air carried its relentless energy, striking against the mountains with might. It threatened to crumble the we lived on, waging a war against nature. Laura was standing at the edge of the cliff, fearlessly facing the wrath of nature, the same entity that she was deriving her energy from.I could find Bella beside her, seated a little away, patiently waiting for her to join her. We arrived at this location almost an hour ago, helping Laura make the necessary arrangements to perform the spell. Once we were done, Laura sought to be alone with Kiara and asked me to move away, as it was a spell that required utmost attention and focus from Laura. No distraction could come in the way as she derived the energy from nature to cast the spell.
Kiara’s POV It felt as though someone punched me in the gut. None of her words made any sense to me but that name sent my emotions into chaos. An unknown fear had begun to grip me, the possibility of losing what I cherished most getting closer to reality. “Audrey?” Bella was the first to speak, “How the hell did she get here?” “She’s been living with us for months.” The receptionist said, “She recently completed her transformation into a witch.” “A what?” Bella shrieked, “That bitch. What did she do to my brother?” “Ma’am, you’re creating a scene in front of our guests.” She said, “May I please request you to step out?” Bella scoffed, “I’m not leaving without seeing my broth
Bernard was silent as he drove the car. He had been waiting for us when we arrived from the witches’ territory, and the astonishment on his face was hard to miss. Like myself, Bernard was dumbfounded to learn the reality of our circumstance, but unlike me, he didn’t hide the anger. If left alone, he would go for Audrey’s throat in an instant. It was a good thing that we were traveling in separate vehicles.“That bitch.” He growled, “I can’t believe she bewitched our Alpha.”“The witches can’t either.” Bella said, “They said they’ve never seen such a potent love potion till now. None that could cause such a drastic change as they have seen in Marcus.”“It had to be him.
