Nora's POV I watched as Carlos' face became pale and confused at the mention of Aria's pregnancy. I felt angry and would have struck Carlos if I hadn't controlled my emotions. As I turned to leave he suddenly denied the pregnancy but I wasn't interested in his acceptance or denial.With my fist tightly clenched, my anger and frustration boiling over as I watched Carlos in the cell. I slammed my fist on the cage, the sound echoing through the small camp room. "You're going to pay for what you did," I growled, my eyes blazing with fury.Carlos looked up at me, his expression defiant, but I could see the regret lurking in his eyes. He knew he was at my mercy. I smirked, sitting on the vacant chair, leaving Carlos to stew in the cage. I needed to calm down, to watch his agony and how he wallowed in his regrets. But I knew this was only the beginning. Once we are back to the Lycan Kingdom, Carlos would face the full force of my wrath.Having watched him wallow in pity for a while, I wen
Nora POVI felt the unfamiliar sensation of my body as if it was engulfed by brimstones and fire. In my unconscious state, I tried to grasp my sanity yet I felt my body shaking and my muscles contorting. A feeling of my bones rearranging themselves seemed to take over and I didn't want to believe I was changing.Was I getting my wolf? As my body started to change, I felt a searing pain in my limbs, like my muscles were being torn apart and put back together again. My skin itched and burned, my senses heightened yet I remained in my human form.The pain was becoming unbearable.Just then, I heard hurried footsteps and the whirling sound of the wind on my skin. The same skin that felt like it was being torn into shreds. But with the whirling wind, I began to grasp a relief in my unconscious state."Relax, Nora. Open your eyes," he said, his voice calm and soothing. " Don't fight it."I tried to do as he said, but it was hard. As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt the burning sensation ma
Nora’s POVI wanted to ask more, to know more but I stopped myself when I saw the struggling emotions on my mother's face. With a sigh, I resigned myself to the little I could understand as I pushed my hand into my hair, cranking my neck to the side.I restrained the burning desire as frustration rushed through my veins. I hated the fact that I never got enough explanation and it always boiled down to me being different. Yet, I wanted to understand the hurt in my mother's eyes when things like this happened. “Nora.” My mother called, her tone slightly mild yet shaky. Shifting my gaze to her direction, I watched her making her way towards me. Holding my hands, she peered deep into my eyes, smiling weakly at me at the same time. Those beautiful yet penetrating smiles tug deep into my heartstrings, making me want to bury myself in her embrace. “You're different. And that's because you're special. Could you please bear with us until we are ready to let you in?” She whispered, pushing
Nora's POV For the next few days that followed, my training session with Karen became even more intensive. It was the thought of not having a wolf that drove me to the edge, making me want to give in all my best no matter how hard the task may be. All I thought about was the memorable day when I would finally transform and have my wolf. I kept itching for that day to come. With the amount of training I had engaged in, I was certain I would be able to pull through the rigorous and strength grueling transformation process easily.“ Stop daydreaming!" Karen's voice cut through. " Yes, commander,” I grinned, getting ready for our next move."Alright, Nora! Let's see what you're made of!" Karen barked, his eyes gleaming harshly. He was an entirely different person when training me. It was as if he had a split personality.I heaved heavily, my eyes scanning the new training ground. It was a full space room, filled with various obstacles and challenges."Drop and give me a hundred, now!"
Nora's POV Reluctantly, I made my way to the training ground with my head bent to the ground. Despite all the rigorous training I had subjected myself to, my wolf was yet to make her appearance leaving me frustrated and feeling like a failure. “Hey, you don't look good.” Vina’s voice made me shoot my head upwards only to see her standing in front of me. Flashing her a quick smile, I tried to bypass her but she held my arm, pulling me backwards. “Not too fast my little friend.” She pouted. Cranking her head to the side, she tightened her grip on my shoulder, “Don't tell me you're downcast because of…” “You honestly don't have an idea of what I’m going through.” I snapped, trying to pull away from her but she tightened her grip instead. “I understand what you're going through right now but acting this way isn't going to help, you know that right?” “What should I do? The days are running by, still yet nothing. I have done every single thing I can think of but…” I swallowed the re
Carlos’ POV With my legs drawn up to my chin, I had my hands strapped around it as I stared into space. The only thing on my mind at the moment was setting things right with Nora. I needed her forgiveness because, not only was I going to become a free man, I will be able to find out what exactly happened. The answers I had been searching for were in my Pack and I couldn't lay my hands on them if I remained in the confines of the cell. Biting my lower lips, I shut my eyes tightly and at once Aria’s face appeared in my head, making me snap my eyes open at once. “Aria.” I muttered, fiddling with my fingers. “I wonder what happened that night.” The night of the rejection was still fresh in my head like it happened a few minutes ago. I tried to pierce the events of the night together yet I still find it unbelievable.“Was it Aria who used my identity to plot Nora’s death?” I pondered. If truly Aria was the architect behind the plot, then she must have planned it for a long time. And
Carlos' POV Weak from being starved, I tried to sit up but my body refused to cooperate with me. It was as if the next minute I was going to pass out from hunger and dehydration. But still, I didn't hold any grudge against Nora, in fact, I was itching to see her. If only she would make her visit at this moment I would be pleased. My feelings towards her are... complicated. Even as she starved me in that dingy cell, I couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of admiration for her strength and conviction. Her determination to break me was supposed to get me angry, yet, I found myself drawn to her. “Argh!" I grunted as hunger gnawed at my belly.I couldn't help but wonder if Nora's resolve would ever waver. But her gaze always pierce through me like a cold, calculated knife. She naturally feels excited in my suffering and it seems to fuel her own sense of purpose.The purpose of her revenge for all I did to her. She wasn't vying for revenge because of the rejection but because she beli
Karen’s POV I couldn't hide my emotions anymore. I just couldn't stop my heart from beating for her anymore. At first, I thought I was just being caring toward her because of her weakness. Then I convinced myself that our interactions over the months made us closer.Not until she went back to her former pack. That's when I saw the bastard who rejected her. I couldn't be less angrier. I was prepared to punish the bastard along with her.I grew protective of her and attributed it to being her friend. Not until I observed how that bastard was trying to seek forgiveness while getting close to her again.That was when I let my emotions get the better of me. That bastard Alpha doesn't deserve Nora. She deserves someone who is ready to cherish her in all things, weak or not. I can't believe he still thinks she would accept him.He rejected her when he thought she was nothing!As I left Carlos' cell in annoyance, I decided to take a breather. I changed into my wolf and lung deep into the for
