[Kian](Past)I pulled out the flag along with the fish’s teeth from its jaw that I had cracked open.Over twenty dead fishes floated lifelessly around me. I was killing them, dodging their attacks, collecting the flags, but my mind was occupied by Carys’ thoughts.Ever since we entered the Autumn pack, Carys was avoiding me. Initially, I thought she was busy with organizing hunts, but I soon realized that she was purposefully avoiding me.But why? Did I do something wrong? Was she angry, or did I do something to hurt her feelings?And she wasn’t the only one trying to distance me from her. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or not, but strangely, every time she was supposed to guide the group I was in to a hunt, Joshua took over her duties.Could it be that Joshua suspected something might be going on between us? Was she avoiding me because of him?Whatever it was, it was driving me insane.Hunts were a good outlet for my frustration. But today, the more I hunted, the more pissed
[Carys] (Past) Kian got the first prize, Levi got the second, and Joshua won the third prize by the end of the hunting games. I miraculously made it into the top ten. I couldn’t get enough flags, but maybe helping Christian had secured me more points. I couldn’t get Christian’s and Levi’s face out of my mind when they saw Kian wipe off Christian’s blood from my cleavage. It was clear both of them now suspected us. Of course, they did. But what bothered me more was Este and Ara talking about that incident to almost every female camper. Kian was as big of a deal among the female campers as Christian and Levi. Most campers were daunted by him because of the silence and distance he maintained with the others most of the time. So Kian openly talking to me and touching me had become the popular gossip in the camp. Kian drew attention towards himself right when he shouldn’t have. I could feel the eyes of the female campers on me as I passed through the corridors. They whispered behin
[Joshua] (Past) I shut the laptop, taking a deep breath as I stared at the ceiling. I let out a wry chuckle. My chuckles turned into laughter until there was nothing but deafening silence in my room. I ran my tongue over my upper teeth, swinging on the hind legs of my chair but somehow not falling. I scratched the skin around at the base of my thumb until it tore and I could see the bright red flesh. Licking the blood off my thumb, I covered my mouth with the bleeding hand. “Carys…” I groaned. I shut my eyes and the video that was playing on my laptop moments ago played with the same resolution and detail in my mind. Clenching my jaws, I picked up the laptop and threw it across the room. It crashed against the wall, shattering as it fell on the floor. Carys’ muffled moans as he pounded into her pussy filled into my ears as inexplicably as the rush to my cock. It was like watching porn, just that it wasn’t porn. She was having sex with her mate. I broke into laughter again.
[Kian](Past)One by one, all the campers entered the forests.In the end Carys, Christian, Levi, Joshua and I were left.“Let’s go together,” Levi suggested.“You think I am scared of this stupid place?” Christian scoffed. “Stupid people have haunted me enough throughout the hunt. I am so glad this stupidity is finally ending!” He landed a swift glare at Carys and entered the forest.“Don’t mind him, please,” Levi chuckled nervously, looking at Carys and her dad.“Of course not! Don’t worry, it’s fine,” Carys said, waving her hand. “He is just being himself. Isn’t it, dad?”“That friend of yours is a unique young man, isn’t he?” Her father looked at Levi and Levi’s nervous chuckles turned into coughs.Levi cleared his throat, “well… he is, I guess. That’s the beauty of life, right? Uniqueness.” He bowed at beta Logan. “I will be off now. It was nice meeting you, sir.”Levi hurried into the forest.Beta Logan stroked Carys’ frivolous strands back in their place. “It’s a Wild hunt. The
[Carys](Present)“Seriously? Are you really going to do this again? Repeat everything all over again? All these years of hard work and medication, for what? Don’t make things worse, Alpha.” Jackson’s fury was clear from his words to his glare that bore into Kian. Kian had lit up a cigarette. Or something that looked like a cigarette, but it clearly wasn’t just tobacco if Jackson was reacting so aggressively. I didn’t have to double guess on what it could be.I don’t know why, but I had followed Kian to the parking lot. Maybe it was Alpha King’s words, but I didn’t even know what to say to him.I was hiding behind one of the concrete pillars, watching them. For the time being, it was just us. Others would be here shortly.“Where in the world did you even get it?” Jackson held Kian’s wrist, preventing him from inhaling whatever that was. “I know how you’re feeling and I understand—”“No, you don’t. Jackson, you can never understand.” Kian’s voice was hoarse and a little shaky.“Fine. I
[Carys]He just stood there, listening with his head held low, his eyes dead.I leaned against his car because if I didn’t; I knew I would fall. My legs felt too weak to carry all the burden I had been shouldering within myself. I had told him everything I was holding back, yet my heart felt heavier with every silent second we shared.My occasional whimpers and both our erratic heartbeats were the only sound echoing in the parking lot.I grabbed his wrist, “seriously Kian! The first thing you thought of was drugs? Do I not matter to you even a little? Am I so worthless to you now? That you seek an escape from reality before me? Was it that easy for you to choose a fucking drug over me? It didn’t even occur to you that I might be waiting…” I bit back my words as he looked into my eyes.I shook my head.“It’s not your fault. I expect too much. You know what? Now, I am glad the poor soul didn’t come into this world. What would I tell them about their father? That he is a fucking drug ad
[Carys]I was back in the Autumn pack.It took almost a week to complete all the formalities of retiring from the beta’s position of the Autumn packs. Meetings, oaths and contracts to maintain confidentiality, gathering and handing over all the exclusive benefits and information I had as the beta to the new beta who was yet to be chosen, and so on.It was a long, complicated and tiresome job to get rid of my only job, but finally I was jobless and I had no idea what I’d do once I ran out of the money I had. But I’d see about that once that happened. For now, I was rich, and I used the wealth to pay off the debt of a 100 million that I owed Kian. Thankfully, Verity was in contact with Jackson, and Jackson helped me in transferring the funds to Kian’s account.All my investments along with my father’s investments were returned to me because as a rogue I wasn’t allowed to hold stocks or estates in the Autumn pack or any other pack.Joshua tried to convince me time and time again to re-e
[Joshua] “Make sure everything is perfect. I can’t afford a single mistake tonight,” I talked through the phone. My steps faltered as I neared my office. Pocketing my phone, I hid my presence and gingerly got near the ajar door. The security of my office had been compromised several times ever since Carys stopped being my beta. Her absence from my life just kept getting louder every day, but that would change after tonight. And I wouldn’t let anyone interfere with my plans of making her mine again. I peeped through the ajar door. My office was dimly lit with a figure sitting on my chair behind the desk. I entered my office and stood before the invader as she flipped through the photo albums I always kept locked in my desk. I strode to the desk and snatched the album from her hand. “Don’t touch my things!” I glared at her. She smiled, “sorry for looking at your precious obsession.” “What are you doing here?” I asked. She took out another album and kept flipping through Carys’

[Carys]“At the conclusion of this meeting, this is my final verdict in compliance with the vote of other alphas — the Autumn pack will not be dissolved. As proposed by the Gamma Mic of Autumn pack, the Autumn pack will be run under emergency conditions with the gamma assuming the beta’s position and upholding the pack. The rank of the alpha of the Autumn pack will remain empty until Alpha Joshua’s child is born. AAC will assist the Autumn pack at every stage of recovery.” I didn’t attend the meeting, but turns out Verity had other ways to have a peek into everything that happened in the conference hall. “Edith Percy Nightfall’s punishment will be postponed until and after the heir of the Autumn pack reaches the age of five. She will be convicted like everyone else who was responsible for the Blank Space incident. Until then, she’ll remain under AAC’s surveillance.” I let out a sigh. “As per Alpha Dominic’s request, the Spring pack will monitor and take care of Edith Percy Nightfal
[Carys]Hoot!Snow White perched herself on Kian’s chest.“Kian’s soul has sustained severe injuries, Carys,” Moratia said. “It will take years for him to recover. The Bond that remains in his soul will help in his recovery. Keep Snow White close to him. She’ll help feed him the spiritual energy he needs through this mist. We are taking Mizkeal’s soul with us.”She looked at Death. Death turned his face towards Moratia and gave a slight nod.I lifted my gaze and looked at Moratia. The Ravens and crows that ripped Mizkeal’s soul away from Kian had long disappeared into the dark portal with his soul. The portal revolved behind Death’s divine yet haunting figure. His face was covered with a skull mask.He turned towards the portal and stretched out his hand towards Moratia. She glanced at me and smiled.“Thank you for everything, Carys,” she said before she turned around and looked into his eyes before placing her hand in his. They walked into the dark portal. Once their figures were e
[Carys]Moratia slowly looked around to see Alpha King and Liam standing near the borders with their army. After all the destruction Mizkeal caused, it was only logical for him to take things in his hand.Levi stood beside them, staring at us. I could tell by the look on his face that he tried his best to hold Alpha King back, but couldn’t. The same look was on Verity’s face.Verity tried to run towards us when Alpha King ordered one of his soldiers to take her away from the battlefield.Nox stood with the other members of the SW, looking frantically around the battlefield. He was clearly looking for Morana.Morana and Christian had fallen into the mist together, but I hadn’t seen them after that. I could only hope that they were ok.Dominic and Ash walked through the crowd of soldiers to the front-lines, taking in the situation.Of course, all of them felt the horror of Mizkeal’s wrath.“Brother!” My eyelids fluttered towards Aamna as she tried to cross the borders and come to our si
[Carys]I could feel everything Moratia felt.All the centuries of life, love and death flashed in her soul.Her soul was elated to see Mizkeal again, and the way he recognized her again filled her with hope, but it didn’t take long to shatter. Somewhere in him, she yearned to find the man she fell in love with. The prince who taught her how to live.But neither was Mizkeal the same, nor was his love for her. The pure love that a fae price once had for her had turned into a madness of a fae lord. He loved her, yes. But in a constant fear of losing her and that kind of love leads to desperation. And that desperation had blinded Mizkeal.I could actually understand the reason behind his desperation because I was desperate, too. I was desperate to save Kian, bring him back, and I was ready to do anything that could make that possible.Marrying him or not marrying him would depend on Moratia. And I knew whatever she chose would affect me significantly, so I had to brace myself for whateve
[Mizkeal]I didn’t care what happened inside me. I used every ounce of my soul for this last attack.The world could end at its own accord, but…I shifted my glare at Carys.To end her was my right.Peering at me, she got to her feet. Holding my gaze, she stood calmly amidst the exploding ground around her. She licked her lips before taking a deep breath.She smiled gently and shut her eyes, allowing the tears welled in her eyes to trail down her beautiful face.I landed on the ground. Dust and debris of the ground blasted all around us as I strutted towards her.I grabbed her wrist and yanked her closer, barely holding back my rage.The chimes of her crown jingled louder than the exploding earth, sending goosebumps all over my body.“Open your eyes…” I commanded in a slightly shivering tone.I grabbed her upper arms tighter.“Open your eyes!” I snarled at her.She shook her head, her lips trembling as she took in a shuddering breath through her tears.“Carys!”“You know my name, my p
[Mizkeal]Christian held back his groan, gritting his teeth as he glared at me with bloodshot eyes.“Why is everyone so stubborn here?” I sighed. “Well, pain is a choice, and you chose not to show it. I respect that.”“Shove that respect up your ancient ass and get out of my best friend’s body,” he growled, glaring right into my eyes.I chuckled wryly. “You have a strange sense of humor. How does it feel to be in that head of yours, to have a tongue sharper than your claws? There is no real damage you can do to me.”Christian laughed obnoxiously. “That’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard.”“Oh! Have you ever heard yourself?” I taunted back.Morana let out a titter with a smirk spread across her lips.I shifted my gaze to Morana, whose calculative eyes analyzed me.She was the one important to me, but I was still not sure if I could absorb my heart and Bond without damaging them both in the process.I couldn’t risk absorbing Bond while she had my heart because then… it could damage
[Mizkeal]As I soared towards the sky, a wave of raging adrenaline pumped through my veins, pounding in my ears.Carys Elffire was playing a dangerous game.She split the Bond in two parts! How the hell did she split it apart?But what I failed to understand was how she got a hold on Bond so quickly. A day ago, she couldn’t even keep its power in control and now she had split it in two?But what I wanted to know was how far she had decoded Bond and its abilities.Bond was far more powerful than before. New elements were added into Bond and I hadn’t had enough time to decipher all of them, either. So, it was important for me to know how much she had deciphered it or altered it.With a swift blow of my mana, I created a squall that tore the mist apart for a few seconds. It gave me enough time to escape.The mist swirled around me, playing with my head, bringing out the memories that were impossible for me to resist or ignore. Despite my efforts, echoes of Moratia’s voice haunted me, blu
[Carys]Parting from Mizkeal, I held his hands in mine.His calculative silver eyes narrowed on our hands before he looked into my eyes, as though he could see my soul.“I know what you are thinking. But I am not here for you,” I said, holding his gaze. “I’m here for Kian because I cannot lose him.”He smirked faintly, his eyes calling me out for being delusional.“If Kian lives on in you, as you… then I agree to that fate,” I said, looking into his eyes. “If his soul is merged in yours, then I’ll love his torn soul through you. If you go beyond that border, Alpha King will do everything in his power to stop you. He will kill my Kian and… I can’t let that happen. So, I’ve stopped them. I lied to them. I told them I can… stop you. But I know I can’t.”Mizkeal narrowed his eyes.“You’ve been madly in love, Mizkeal, with a woman. So, I know you understand my desperation, and this might be the stupidest decision I make for this world, but keeping you safe is the only way I can ensure Kian
