KYLIE'S POV
*Back to the Present*"You...." I couldn't even complete my statement, when he grabbed a handful of my hair, twisted and twirled it around his hand, until there was no room for any more twistingI felt as though my scalp was going to be separated from my skull, it was damn painful, but I bit down on my inner lips really hard till I could taste my own bloodThat action was to hide the muffled scream of pain that was threatening to come out of my lungsSeeing that I wasn't showing him any signs of pain, Karl pulled the twist of my hair backwards, with full force, making me feel the impact on my neckI couldn't help but let out a loud cry, he turned my head backwards so that I could see his face, there was an evil grin playing on his lipsThe urge to spit on him was there and I couldn't resist it"You disgusting bitch!" He growled and pushed me roughly to the ground, it was so hard that i twisted my ankle"Asswipe!" I cursed, while hissing in painKarl was too busy wiping off my spit from his face, that he didn't give me any response or even glance at my directionThat was my chance, now that he was distracted, I could attempt an escape"Oh! Impressive!— His arms were folded across his broad chest, as he walked leisurely behind me, at a distance"You know, this is one of the reasons why I love and cherish you a lot...you never give up. No matter your predicament, you are a fighter, and you are really determined, that's the very reason I picked you for these three particular missions" I didn't respond, neither did I look backwardsI kept on limping and hopping forward, focused and determined to achieve the impossibleThe impossible, which was me escaping from this psycho dick head"Don't you think it's a good thing that I killed Freddy? I mean, he was a pain in the ass, and also posed as a threat lately" who the hell was Freddy?I was going to ask, but had a change of heart, I needed to achieve my goal, as fast as my right leg could function"You know, I am starting to regret it though, he would have been the best person to handle all this missions without me having to go through all these fuck with you, but well...what can I do?" Could he just stop talking"Alright babe, strolling time is over, so let's head back inside, we need to get you ready for the tasks at hand, but I see you sprained your ankle huh!— he paused, when he noticed that I didn't respond and just kept limping forward"You know.... That wouldn't get you anywhere""Help! Hello someone help me" I screamed at the top of my voice, but no one came to my aidThey all knew who he was, and no one was ready to die by his handsI finally turned to look at him, and caught a smirk curved on his lips, the next minute, I was screaming"Why are you screaming? Here is your chance, go far away" I said to myself and began limping fasterKarl was brutally hit by a truck, and I don't see the possibility of him getting up soon"Hopp in" what! No, I couldn't take chances, he could be one of Karl's minions"What are you thinking? Let's get going" the guy driving, the same truck, that had just hit Karl said againBy the time I looked backwards, there was a police van approaching"We both know that if Karl should get hold of you again, then you're sure gone" what's the worst that could happen anywayIf later, I discover that he was one of his minions, then I would accept my fate with a clear mind"Get in, woman! The cops are getting closer""Oh right! I might use some of your help here" I said, arm outstretched, so he could pull me up, but before the action was taken, my hand slipped out of hisI fell roughly to the ground, and he zoomed off, he had to, the cops got too close"Ow! That was my only chance" I was so annoyed, it wasn't directed at anyone but myself"Here! I'll help you get up""Thanks, I really....oh my goodness Karl""Yeah babe, it's me""Look, I'm sorry...." I couldn't complete my statement, he slapped me really hard on my face, that I fell out of consciousnessARNOLD'S POVSigh! Kylie did me real dirty, I was still in shock from the News she broke to me some days ago"Honey! You look unhappy" That was my wife Sarah"Well, obviously" I responded and turned the other wayThe last thing I wanted to do right then, was talk about how I feltKylie had come to me for help, she claims that we have a son togetherA son I knew nothing about, she fucking left me, she left me brokenI couldn't believe that even after everything she did to me before leaving, my heart still beat for herI hated myself so much for that, I had chosen to let Karl take her, because I didn't want to have any contact with herSeeing her face only reopened my scars, and made them fresh againBut, this is an innocent child we're talking about, if he dies, I wouldn't be able to forgive myselfThat been said, I made up my mind to help herIt is going to be a long fight, considering how powerful Karl is, but it's for the little innocent child, and not for that bitchShe might be thinking she had fooled me into helping her son, by labeling me as the father, but that was no the case, it was just a simple act of kindnessIf you're wondering why I don't want to acknowledge the baby as mine, well, I am supposed to feel a bond with him no matter how far he was, but I felt nothing. I didn't know Kylie was capable of trying to manipulate meJust how people change swiftly.KYLIE'S POVI woke up to the sound of water running in the bathroomNo one but me, was in the dusty and airy room"Karl! Karl!" Where was he?"Who's in the bathroom? Do you mind turning off the water? , its spilling out, into the room" I said at the top of my voiceI got no response, so I stood up to go check it out, surprisingly, i wasn't tiedOn getting to the bathroom, i found out no one was there tooThe water tap wasn't going off, no matter how hard I triedI knew what was coming, Karl wanted me to drown in the roomI once told him, that in my opinion, the worst way to die, was struggling for survival and eventually die"Wherever you are Karl, I want you to know that you're a jerk, you're a fool, you're an ingrate...." I said those words with tears in my eye, the thought of dying and leaving my son in the hands of that bastard, pained me to the core"I would find a way out of this moron, you should have just tied me to a pole or something, or you would have just killed me instead
KYLIE'S POV"Ah! My head hurts" I winced and rolled to the other side of the fluffy mattress"Oh! You're awake, thank the moon goddess" A masculine voice exclaimed and I was forced to shoot my eyes wide openSuddenly, the memories of...was it yesterday? Came flushing backI died, I fucking died....Wait! But if I died, then how am I here?I pinched my arm to be sure and it hurt, I couldn't believe it, I stretched my arms out and began staring at the back of my palms like it had some sort of amusement in it. I wiggled my fingers to make sure. Or could this be the land of the dead? It didn't look like it thoughThose were my thoughts, before I finally looked up at the person who spoke"Um...you?....""Yes, me — he responded with a small smile, then continued — I'm Freddy, we've met before. Not in my preferred circumstance, but it's all good. And, we have the same agenda" he said and I creased my brows"Wait! Wait! Wait! You're alive? You're a living flesh and blood?" I asked anticipa
KYLIE'S POV“What are you doing man, let her go” Freddy yelled. And freed me from the choking grasp of the raged Alpha Arnold.I began to cough uncontrollably. Freddy immediately poured me a glass of water from the jar standing on the little dining tableI didn't hesitate to take it and gulp down the whole content of the glass. I was panting and trying to catch my breath“What was that for?“ I asked when I finally caught my breath“You bitch! How dare you?“ “You've been saying that since you got here, I don't even know what you're mad about?“ I was getting more and more confused by the seconds“You bewitched me” okay, where was this accusation coming from?“What! — I exclaimed— bewitched you? How? Why would I even do that?“ I asked“Probably because you needed a back up, in case I didn't accept to help you get back the child that isn't even mine in the first place” He yelled“What are you on about?“ At this point, I was lost“Don't play dumb with me. I always knew you were smart and
FREDDY'S POVThey all exclaimed in shock when I disclosed what had been bothering me for the past few minutes. All the while, I had thought that she was mateless. Now it all made sense why she never felt any bond with me. I had thought it was due to stress and stuffOh my! Words could not describe how hurt and shattered I felt. Staring at Arnold, I could see in his eyes that he still loved and cared about her, which only meant that he wouldn't agree to break their bondI could see how his eyes lit up when Kylie had said that she didn't break their bondKylie on the other hand, is too occupied with the thoughts of how to get her son back into her possession, to acknowledge any feelings“What? How is that possible? Why?“ Sasha asked. She sounded heartbroken“This is so unfair” she muttered again and rushed out of the door“Um…I don't know what to say” Kylie said, she didn't know the words to console me“No, you don't have to say anything, I don't need consoling and I do not need pity” I
KYLIE'S POV“No, no, no, how is this possible? I fucking placed a spell to hide us from the eyes of the people searching” Sasha groanedKarl had found us, and he came with an army. We were not prepared, we didn't think of a plan yet. Our little group was not yet united. How can we defeat this maniac? It was like a mission impossibleIt was a good thing Arnold was here, but even with that, he wouldn't be able to defend us for long, this was an army of Werewolf soldiers we're talking about. Gosh!“This is bad, this is very bad” Sasha muttered, running her hands through her hair. And I couldn't agree moreWe were so done for, with me in my current weak state, Freddy lying unconscious and Sasha not being in the right state of mind? It was left to Arnold“Wow! It's So good to see you after, so many years Karl” Arnold said as he moved away from Freddy and walked leisurely towards Karl“It's good to see you too old friend” Karl responded, smiling ear to ear as they hugged each otherWhat!“T
KYLIE'S POVThe fist dropped with a loud thud, but I didn't feel hurt. I didn't even feel as though I was hit. Had I become immune to pain?“What? why are you shielding your face like that?“ An all too familiar voice asked“Sasha?“ I called, taking my arms away from my face. She had her right brow raised“Oh! It's you” I said, smiling sheepishly. Her hand was outstretched and she pulled me up on my feet“For a moment I thought you wanted to punch me in the face, whew!“ I exclaimed in relieve“Punch you? I only wanted to catch this little guy here” she said, opening her other palm to reveal a big black hairy spider. “Ew! It looks creepy” I said moving backwards“Yeah, I used it to perform the spell that brought you back in here, without him, it would never have worked, so you owe him one” she explained, then winkedOh! Now that she mentioned, I looked around and now I know why it smelled familiar. I was back in Freddy's house“Oh! Thanks for bringing me back” I said. She nodded and be
ARNOLD'S POV“Noooo! Kylie” I heard the witch scream. Karl shifted back to his human form almost immediately and a smirk was plastered on his face. A car rolled to a stop in front of him, he got in and showed me his middle fingers, as the car drove off“Argh!“ I growled and shifted too, then moved towards the direction of the scream“Arnold!“ She called and I frowned. She looked terrified. I knew something was wrong“I couldn't protect her, I don't know what's wrong with my powers, they seemed weak. There was nothing I could do, I'm very sorry, but I tried, I really did” she cried. I could tell she was scared of something, of what I would do to her. But I didn't have the time now. Together, We strolled back to Fredrick's house“Find out where they're taking her” I instructed and made for my car in the parking lot“I..I can't, I told you my powers….“ She was saying, but stopped when I turned abruptly. My glare was hard“I don't care how you do it. Just Find a way, anyway. I mean, you w
Arnold's POVWe got to Fredrick's House and met the witch sitting on the porch and crying profusely“Witch!“ I called. She raised her head and Rose to her feet almost immediately“Arnold, you're…”“Alpha” I cut in and she stared at me dumbfounded“Alpha Arnold, that's how you'll address me” I clarified and she nodded frantically“Oh! Sorry Alpha Arnold” she corrected herself and I nodded in satisfaction“Why are you sitting here crying?“ I asked“Fred, he is dead. I couldn't revive him no matter how hard I tried” she responded sadly“I see…anyway, have you found out where Kylie was taken?“ I asked. My question seemed to have gotten everyone shocked as they all stared at me, mouths agape“Is there a problem?“ I asked looking from one to another, but they just kept staring“Did I say something wrong?“ I asked again“I just told you that Fredrick is dead” The witch said, she sounded angry“Yes! I heard you” I responded, my eyebrows raised “You heard? You heard and the next thing you'll
Xander’s PovAs days turned into weeks, the rift that had once threatened to tear us apart seemed to heal, replaced by a newfound sense of closeness and unity. The forgiveness Allegra had extended to me washed away the lingering doubts and fears, leaving in its wake a sense of peace and contentment that I had long yearned for.Each day brought with it a renewed sense of purpose as we embraced the opportunity to reconnect with her father, Alpha Arnold, in ways we had never thought possible. As we delved into shared memories and created new ones together, the bonds of family grew stronger, weaving us together in an unbreakable bond of love and acceptance.One afternoon, as we sat together in the garden, basking in the warmth of the sun, Alpha Arnold turned to me with a smile, his eyes filled with warmth and affection. “Xander,” he began, his voice tinged with emotion. “I never thought I'd have the chance to get to know you like this.”I smiled back, feeling a surge of gratitude for the
Allegra’s PovI asked that question, and Xander sighed, running a hand through his hair as he struggled to find the right words. “I never meant to hurt you,” he began, his voice tinged with remorse. “But I was desperate, Allegra. Desperate to protect you, to keep you safe from those who would seek to harm you.”I furrowed my brow, confusion flickering in the depths of my eyes. “Protect me?” I echoed the words, heavy with disbelief. “From what?”Xander hesitated, his gaze shifting away from mine as he wrestled with his own inner demons. “From my past,” he finally admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “From the enemies I've made, the battles I've fought, and the secrets I've kept.”My heart clenched at his words, a sense of foreboding settling over me like a dark cloud. “What secrets?” I demanded, my voice trembling with emotion. “What aren't you telling me, Xander?”Xander took a deep breath, his eyes filled with regret, as he met my gaze. “I'm not who you think I am, Allegra,” h
Allegra’s PovAs I stood in the clearing, buoyed by the wisdom and compassion of the Moon Goddess, a newfound sense of clarity washed over me like a cleansing tide. With each passing moment, the raw ache of betrayal began to ebb, replaced by a steely resolve and a determination to confront the challenges that lay ahead.Gathering my strength, I wiped away the last of my tears and squared my shoulders, ready to face Xander and my father once more. As I made my way back to the house, my heart pounded in my chest, a mixture of apprehension and determination coursing through my veins.As soon as I stepped through the door, Xander's eyes met mine, his expression a mix of relief and apprehension. Without hesitation, he rushed towards me, arms outstretched, ready to envelop me in a comforting embrace. But I held up a hand, stopping him in his tracks.“Not yet,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. “I'm not ready.”Xander's brow furrowed confused, and his eyes filled with concern. “Al
Allegra’s PovAs the truth crashed down on me like a tidal wave, I couldn't stop the overwhelming surge of emotions that threatened to consume me. Betrayal, confusion, heartbreak—they all swirled together in a maelstrom of agony, tearing me apart from the inside out. How could Xander, the one person I thought I could trust with my life, betray me in such a way? Was our entire relationship built on lies and deceit?I stumbled out of the house, my chest constricted with pain, and my vision blurred with tears. I didn't care where I was going; I just needed to get away to escape the suffocating weight of betrayal that hung heavy in the air. With each step, the forest seemed to close in around me, the trees towering above me like accusing sentinels.As I ran, my power surged within me, responding to the turmoil raging inside me. Anger, raw and potent, bubbled up from the depths of my soul, fueling my every step and propelling me deeper into the heart of the forest. With each stride, my spe
Xander’s PovAs Allegra stormed out of the room, frustration, and guilt gnawed at me, leaving me feeling utterly helpless. I knew I had upset her, but I couldn't suppress the gnawing fear that had been eating away at me since Alpha Arnold's revelation. The thought of losing her, of being left alone once again, terrified me more than anything else.I paced the room, my mind racing with conflicting emotions. On one hand, I wanted nothing more than to make Allegra happy and to support her in her quest to reconnect with her father. But on the other hand, the selfish part of me couldn't bear the thought of losing her or watching her slip away from me.As I wrestled with my thoughts, a knock on the door startled me out of my reverie. A guard stood at attention, delivering a message from Alpha Arnold requesting my presence in his office. I nodded in acknowledgment, my heart sinking at the thought of facing him again.As I made my way to Alpha Arnold's office, I couldn't shake the feeling of
Allegra’s PovAs Alpha Arnold revealed the unexpected news that I was his daughter, a whirlwind of emotions swept through me. Happiness, disbelief, and a sense of belonging all mingled together, leaving me feeling like I was standing on the precipice of a new chapter in my life. But as I turned to share my joy with Xander, I was met with a wall of silence and a stormy expression on his face.“Xander, aren't you happy?” I asked, my voice filled with hope as I searched his face for any sign of joy.He hesitated for a moment, his gaze shifting away from mine. “Of course, I'm happy for you, Allegra,” he replied, his voice strained.But I could see the truth lurking behind his words, the tension radiating from him like a palpable force. “Then what's wrong?” I pressed, unable to ignore the unease settling in the pit of my stomach.Alpha Arnold, ever-perceptive, seemed to sense the tension between us. “I'll give you two some space,” he said, rising from his seat. “But Xander, I would love to
Xander’s PovAs Allegra spent the rest of the day with Alpha Arnold, I found myself wandering the vast grounds of his estate, lost in my thoughts. Alpha Arnold had instructed one of his guards to provide us with the most comfortable room in his house, and as I made my way there, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease gnawing at the pit of my stomach.Alone in the room, I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy as I thought about Allegra spending time with Alpha Arnold. I had grown accustomed to having all of her attention, and the thought of sharing it with someone else, especially someone who could potentially be her father, left me feeling unsettled. I paced the room, wrestling with my emotions, wishing I had tried harder to convince Allegra to leave with me.Hours passed, and just as I was beginning to resign myself to the fact that I might not see Allegra for the rest of the day, she finally returned. The excitement in her face was palpable as Alpha Arnold dropped her off, and a
Allegra’s PovXander, refusing to believe or accept the possibility of me being Alpha Arnold's daughter, shakes her head, frustration bubbling to the surface. “Even if there is a chance, it changes everything,” they argued, desperation creeping into their tone. “We have our lives and our packs to think about. We can't just upend everything because of some wild theory.”He watches me closely, searching for any sign of uncertainty in my expression. But to his dismay, I felt oddly calm about the situation, my eyes fixed on the photograph in my hands.I look into his eyes, and I see that he couldn't fathom how I could entertain the idea of being Alpha Arnold's long-lost daughter, especially considering the fact that it would probably change a lot of our lives.“You can't actually be serious,” he interjected, frustration bubbling to the surface as he snatched the picture from me. “Tell me you're not actually considering this.”My gaze met his, my eyes betraying a hint of hesitation. “I kno
Allegra’s PovI never thought I'd see a garden as beautiful as this in my life. The person who planted it must have taken great care in handling it because it looks so wonderful.Even as I'm enjoying the garden, my mind keeps going back to Xander and the wound he suffered from fighting the green wood pack, formerly rogue Alpha. I hope he's well.Just as I was thinking about him, I heard his voice calling my name. Allegra," he calls out, his voice rough with urgency. “We need to leave.”I turn to him, surprise written across my features. “Leave? But what about the Greenwood pack? We can't just abandon them,” I protest, my brow furrowing in concern.He shakes his head, his resolve unwavering. “We've done all we can here. It's time to go,” he insists, his tone brooking no argument.But I'm not so easily swayed. I argue back, my voice rising with frustration as I plead my case for staying. We go back and forth, each of us standing firm in our convictions.I pleaded my case for staying, my
