I didn’t have it in me to retort, as I thought back to the distrustful incident. To how I easily trusted someone else over her.She shook her head before I could respond and said, “You know what, it doesn’t even matter any more. I don’t care about us anymore.” My chest tightened when I heard that. “
After getting the address of the tavern Kora was in, I hastily drove to the place as fast as I could. If I had learned anything new about her, even before arriving in the human world, it would be that an emotional Kora means something very, VERY bad happened where she is. And considering that this p
Nex’s POV“Mommy, wake up.” A small voice reached my ears as I opened my eyes, feeling more tired than I should be feeling refreshed, as I rolled onto my back.“Another… five minutes…” I uttered out.“Any more ‘five minutes’ and we’ll be late,” came Helix’s retort.I snapped my eyes open at that and
John let out a small sigh at the call and got back up. “So he says… What do you say, Nex? Want to ride with me? We can talk during the ride.”‘I did owe him for yesterday…’ I considered, recalling how I dragged him away after the cafeteria incident.“It will be better than walking,” I indirectly ans
Dori got back up, hand on her cheek as she slowly recovered from my slap. “You… You just slapped me!”I rolled my eyes at the obvious. “Yes, I am very aware of that. Since words and vague actions clearly are not getting to you, I thought I may as well go direct,” I said. “You want to talk all high a
“Sorry about that, back there,” he apologized.“No, no… It’s fine,” I answered, thinking back to what happened with Dori. Sure, she was a bitch with how she acted, and I did think she deserved the treatment that was given, but from someone who was her lover? To be mistreated in that manner from some
Beowulf's povDylan and I sat on a couch, looking silently at the mayor, who was sitting on another couch on the other side of the coffee table between us. Some cups of steaming hot tea were placed between us, but none of us was in the mood for tea.“You know, Beowulf, I always thought you were an u
“Why you insolent-!” I raised my hand up to stop Dylan once more. “Beowulf, you cannot be serious about this!”“Not your place to say, Dylan,” I simply said, not bothering to glance at him.“But Kora-”“Do you not hear me?” I turned to him with a glare at the question, my tone leaving no room for qu
“Nex… I have something to confess to you,” he said, raising more of my confusion, which then turned to fear. Did something happen while I was away for two years? Beowulf licked his lips for a moment, moisturizing them with his saliva, before continuing to speak. “I… In these past two years, I couldn
Nex’s POVWith the interrogation done, Helio and I made our way back to Beowulf and Helix, holding hands as we walked. The questions weren’t so difficult; just asking about how I was treated, what was Helio’s connection with the mafia and his life there, and what our connection was. All I was worrie
“If you can believe that, then yes.” I grew even more lost by the response, in which she seemed to have noticed. “Beowulf, a lot has happened in this kingdom while we were gone. One of them being Drake and Garon’s… relationship. So to say.”“How do you mean?” I questioned.“Well… They’re close, you
Nex’s POVI wasn’t sure what happened or why… One moment, Zeke appeared with Helix in his hold, threatening to take his life. The next we knew, he killed Raiha, and gave her as much comfort as he could in her passing. “Mom!” I was snapped out of my stupor upon hearing Helix call for me, as I turned
“Dad is already on his way to Mom, isn’t he? If they see him with me, they will think that mafia leader won. Even the leader will think that, if she is that crazy for revenge. And she will definitely try something horrible to Mom and Dad, without having to worry about what they will do. If he brings
Zeke’s POVHow do I feel about what just happened? About what I just did. I doubt it would be pride; what was there to be prideful about in this situation?I was just standing in the woods, with a gun in my hand, and one of my target in my other hand. One look at the situation before me- of Raiha co
“You already had a destined mate. Only you used him as a tool he wasn’t. Took advantage of his love for you,” I pointed out, causing her to flinch at the reminder. “As if that wasn’t enough, you tried to kill a fellow werewolf just to get what you want. You let your own father- a respectable Alpha-
Beowulf’s POVAfter I briefly met with the captain and told him that I knew where Raiha went, I left the matter of the hideout to him and his team, who arrived not long after we did. At first, he tried to either get me to stay or join me to get Raiha, but I managed to convince him otherwise. Tell hi
At first I wasn’t able to process the words that came out of her mouth. Not with the pain I was experiencing. However, slowly, I caught on to the meaning behind it, and looked up at her. “W-Wait… You promised… you wouldn’t hurt them!” I managed to shout.“Only so long as you be live feed for the bra
