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
NALANICurrently spending my time appreciating the beautiful white flowers all around, and a few minutes passed—maybe half an hour—and finally, I was overcome by sleepiness, but I was still able to resist it. Esther told me earlier that she wanted to ask Travis something, but Travis moved out of the circle to console himself alone. Maybe because he sees me enjoying this magical place and he chose to let me be like this. And for Esther who wanted to talk to him she excused herself to me to follow him. I know that she believed, Travis would not speak when I'm with them. I understood her point so I don't mind.But now my body was giving up and craved rest, so I went out to this circle place and saw Esther and Travis still talking outside. I paused for a moment and decided to listen from where I was. Travis asks something about Esther to which Esther only answers that she cannot give all what he needs to know.She seems to be hiding a secret too and she really changed their conversation,
NALANI "That's so kind of you, Nalani." Esther nudged me carrying paper bags full of clothes.I gave her a sweet smile and said, "Don't mention it." And that caused us to giggle.After we made the exit from the clothes shop, we turned to the left where the way of the mini restaurants was. I only have three paper bags and I only use one hand while she has seven and she uses two hands. This is our view for others who are looking at us.Esther told me how to identify stares; when in their eyes and faces, I can see admiration, they are humans, and when the brows of others are quirking, it means they are werewolves. They could feel and smell her energy and scent. According to her, I should expect these reactions. Everyone will feel her intimidating presence when they smell her scent. She also looks like a fairy, especially with her white complexion and beautiful face but she has a strong aura.I took my eyes off the people around us and led the way to where we should eat. I don't have a c
LIAMI often do not submit to whatever trials come into my life. As an Alpha, it is my responsibility to be a father to everyone. Since the loss of my parents, I have been the guardian of my brother. He always throws a tantrum whenever I interfere with what he is doing especially when I feel something wrong.But I also know Travis. He may be childish sometimes frank, good at tormenting emotions, speak the truth directly even if it hurts others, but I know, in all the things he does if it is not caused by resentment, it has a good purpose.I don't judge him, especially for what he does to Ross that sometimes I react especially if he's gone too far. But I understand that he only does that, because he misses him and wants him to go back to the way he used to be; the Ross back then, the one who fights back, the one who doesn't let other people disrespect him, the one who doesn't let anyone to claim what is his.My whole thought was that Travis knew something about what happened to our cou
LIAMI don't know, but I feel like I'm so stupid as a brother. While I was fulfilling my obligation to our pack, the things he went through were not easy, more than hardships as an Alpha. All I do is being a leader, leader of a whole place that includes humans; a large city known for being the largest pack and close to humans.I thought I had done all my obligations as an older brother; to provide what my brother needs, to give him the things he wants, I thought, that was enough. Why didn't I even think to find out what happened to him? Why didn't I even think if he met his mate? And above all, why didn't I even think to say the things he wanted to hear from me if that was the only key for him to tell me his grievances?I mentally cursed myself, watching him hugging the jar and kneel before me as he begged me to help him and actually says, "Do something, my time is running out. I don't want to die, I don't want to leave you, I don't want to kill Ross. Please, do something, Liam."I ga
