WARNING!! There is a 20% brutal scene in this chapter. NALANI It seems like I'm in another situation now that I don't know when it started. I don't know why there had to be two men holding me left and right with the crowd—it seemed we were in a field and in the middle of it was a stage where a man had his neck placed below the blade that was also placed on the upper part of the frame.The man was staring at me, his face was blurry but I knew his eyes were filled with tears. I struggled from the men's hands as I wanted to get closer to the man in the center of this place. He seemed to be punished publicity and I don't know how these people could cheer for his death.And that man was also saying something to me that I couldn't understand but I felt pain in my heart as if I had heard what he said before. With so much difficulty, and the pain in my heart, I screamed. Wherever I am, I want to get out of here. I don't want to see this worst moment especially when the blade fell. My heart
NALANIDespite the confusing information I came across. I feel various emotions; pain, doubtful, and surprised, I still can't help but be amazed at the beauty of the whole environment. The place where I am now seems like a small island in the middle of the ocean. Full of flowers even the leaves of the big tree trunks are so pretty in a mixture of red and brown colors.According to them, they are giant wolves. The wolves of omegas are only as big as Alpha or Beta, which means that the wolves of high ranks are bigger. My family in this place are among the omegas, but Alpha's priority is our bloodline. Especially since according to them my aunt and my mother came from the bloodline of witches.That was also one of the things that surprised me. Thinking about I came from the bloodline of witches... I couldn't help but ask myself how to use magic. Can I turned someone into a frog? Can I turned a fish into human? Crazy, but that's all I understood about witches. They can do impossible thing
NALANII'm like a celebrity that wherever I go in the area of werewolves, I am known. I already have an idea that I'm a beta princess, but when so many people know me, I can't help but mentally ask, 'was I that famous before?'And about this guy, in his way of approaching us, it brought fear to me especially when he smirked and asked, "Have you come back to punish your mate?"I seem to know one more piece of information about Ross. All these clues that I got, proof that he did something bad to me before. As these proofs piled up, it hurt me more. The man went on, "But you act like you have no idea what I'm saying. And wow!" In his exclamation of wow it was accompanied by laughter and he added, "It's quite odd why you smell like a human. What happened?" His eyes flickered at Esther, asking, "And who is this wolf?"My yelp got louder when Esther's wolf suddenly getting smaller—I mean she's shifting into human form. When she shifted back as Esther, the man's eyes automatically widened a
NALANII don't know how important I really am, but it seems that because of what happened to me, I became a priority for the undergrove warriors. Apparently this was Alpha Liam's order and he was actually with them. From on top of Esther's wolf, I came down and I really couldn't control my body, I unintentionally knelt straight on the ground and alertly the gamma Alec of Undergrove move towards me.He held me by the arm and stared straight into my eyes for a moment. I felt Alpha Liam approaching as Gamma Alec looked at him, saying, "She's shaking and ghostly pale."Alpha Liam quickly crouched next to me, directly holding my arm and gave an order to his gamma, "Please, lead the warriors to where Travis and Ross is. Connect the mind-link for fast tracking."After the gamma Alec nodded, he tapped my back and stood up. Alpha Liam automatically faced me and caressed my cheek while saying, "You're safe now, don't worry."His words seemed to press the button of my emotion bursting out. My cr
NALANI They say that the best solution when you are confused is to observe. You don't have to trust anyone. I think this is what should be done, I will trust no one. I'll just stay quiet in the corner while my eyes opened. I can't stay like this, confused, know nothing about the truth and holding mercy more than right. I want Ross to open up to me. I want to understand his side of the truth. I don't want to believe that he had the order to kill my father, that he is the reason why I remember nothing. No. I will not allow anyone to take advantage of me. This is not the life I want. But I also can't help but ask myself, what if they're telling the truth? And the most annoying thing about my situation is that I don't have the ability to ask questions. I'm starting to hate looking for clues especially if they can tell me the truth. Now, Ross asked me to stay away from him because I'm not safe. I shook my head. I understood what he meant but he needed me. I know, I remembered what Eve,
NALANI I can't stay in that room. I can't handle my emotions. I don't want to believe it, I badly want to get what he said out of my mind—I want to bang my head to forget it. Because of course not! He did nothing to my family. He only said that to get me to stay away from him but shit! I can't, the information I found out is all compatible with his confession. It hurts! It's so painful! I can't accept that, and I really really can't! Running down the stairs, I don't know how many steps I took down, but it seemed like I only did it for a few seconds and I was immediately outside the packhouse. Almost all the omegas were looking at me, there were also warriors and other councils around me. They watched as I screamed as I ran so fast until I lost control of my legs and fell right on the sidewalk leading to the gate. My elbow rubbed against the rough, hard concrete. I felt it heated, but I didn't care about the pain because my heart was hurting more and more. I'm so broken. But there's
NALANI It's like we're in a fantasy world with an invisible entrance. When Esther opened it, she immediately received many questions from Travis. But from what I could see of Travis, he seemed hesitant to enter. The way he looked at Esther changed after she said that she was a witch. It's like all witches shouldn't be trusted.And that caused Esther said to assure, "I know why you reacted like that, Travis. I know what happened to you, but I'm not the only witch here." She glanced at me and said, "Nalani too." She took her clothes from my hand and put them on right in front of us.Travis eyes narrowed into slit, but before he could react with words he also took his clothes from me and decided to put them on. While getting dressed, Esther clarified, "Just like Ross said, Nalani and I are related and I deserve to hear the conversation in that room. He has a gut but he doesn't know what our exact relationship really is." As Travis looked at me and he was now covered by clothes, Esther a
TRAVIS I'm not sure if I should really trust Esther. She appeared suddenly, and she was a witch. Mostly witches are manipulators. I've been a victim once, I don't want to fall into someone's trap again.She knows something about what happened to me, I shouldn't be surprised especially if behind all this, what if she is an accomplice? After we ate, she took us to every dimension of this place. It's a house but every door has a different view.She is so powerful. Not all witches can do this. The spell wrapped around this area was too strong to remove the painful feeling. It was in Nalani's favor and so was mine. There is also a part of me that seems to like it here, but I'm don't have a fond tolerating my feelings. Since I was deceived by people like them, I pushed it out of my system to indulge in the benifits they provide, because all of that has a price.But knowing that she is Nalani's cousin and I feel like it's not just her, it's looked like she has siblings that Nalani seems to
