Kevin's POVThat was it?That was my first thought when I heard what Zeke had to say and I almost blurted out that he was being ridiculous for saying we might think his idea was useless.Why would I think that?Why would I say that to him even if it was?I glanced at Ella and realized she understood what he meant. I glanced at Liam but he had an unreadable expression on his face so I couldn't tell what he was thinking of. I sighed. That brat could be too controlled with his emotions at times. I glanced at the other men but not all of were looking in my direction so I couldn't tell what they were thinking of.I looked away from them and focused on Zeke who was still waiting for my response.I knew the point Zeke was trying to make but I needed to ask him to explain further for clarification so everyone would have no doubts."Why do you say that?" I asked him. I wasn't going to tell him that I understood his worries right now without letting him speak of what he meant. That might make t
Ella's POV"Someone is following us." Caleb said and turned around.We all looked around but everywhere was deathly silent. I didn't think anyone was following us. I couldn't even hear the sounds of animals and insects as we walked. It was as if they knew that creatures bigger than they were were on the road and had gone into hiding."I don't sense anyone." Kevin said, turning to look at Caleb. "Do you sense anyone?" He asked us, turning to his men."No," I shook my head."No." The men said.I wasn't surprised that they had said that. I didn't think that anyone was with us and had let my senses fly out the moment Caleb said someone was following us but I still couldn't sniff out anyone's scent.I was afraid he was paranoid and letting it get to him but I didn't know how I was going to tell him that without making him mad. It was possible he had heard an animal scurry off into the bush and had let his worry get the best of him and think it was someone following us.I knew how enhanced
Liam's POVDinner was great. Zeke overcooked. Well, I wouldn't say he overcooked since there was nothing left of the huge heap of food he had cooked. He had cooked that much for a reason and judging by the bright smile on his face as he looked at the empty plates on the table, I was sure that he was glad he had done that.I patted my belly, feeling full. It was the long time that I had eaten so much in a long while. We had always had to be conscious of eating too much from our food storage of canned meals as we knew we had a long way to go and there was no store around to get food for."Thanks for the meal." I said, bowing to Zeke.He smiled, nodding his head at me. "I am glad you are all okay."We were more than okay if he wanted the truth."I didn't know you could cook this much." Ella said, teasing her dad.Zeke chuckled. "Should I tell you a secret?""What is it?" Ella asked, leaning forward.I was curious to know what the secret was but I didn't lean forward like she did. I kept
Maya's POV"Let's wrap this up quickly. We have to train the wolf pups before it gets too dark. I hate sending those kids home late in the night." I said to the six ladies around me.Someone snickered not too far from me but I knew who it was, even without turning my head. It wasn't anyone other than Selene and her two friends; Sarah and Sasha. The three mischievous and bitter snakes as I liked to call them and tell my best friend, Khloe.I wondered if their parents had known what they were going to become and that was why they had named them by the first letter of a snake. I wondered what kind of snakes they would be if they really were one. Would they be anacondas, pythons or cobras? I shook my head, hating that I had poor knowledge about the crawling reptiles.I narrowed my eyes at them, squinting at their tiny forms which were too small for even for a growing wolf much more a mature female Wolfe and agreed that they had to be rattlesnakes. That was what they were, judging by how s
Ella's POV"Don't worry, Luna. We can do it." Caleb said as I tried to pick a wood and he quickly collected it from me.I rolled my eyes at him and groaned. "Not you too. I've had enough from the men of the blood moon pack.""Calling you a Luna?" He chuckled. "Isn't that what you are? When were you going to tell me you were the mate of the alpha of the blood moon pack?"I shrugged. "Maybe never.""You are mean, Luna.""Don't call me, that. You can call me Ella or Anna, whichever you find comfortable and you should stop treating me as a weakling." I said and picked up another wood to prove my point.His eyes widened and he chuckled as understanding dawned in his eyes. "Oh! You were talking about that?""Yes. This." I said, moving forward with the wood.I hadn't moved far before Damien collected the wood from me. "You should rest, Luna."I sighed, throwing my hands up in frustration. "Are you boys ever going to let me do anything?"They looked at one another, looked at me and then shook
Ella's POV"You can go back to the living room." Dad said thirty-five minutes after we have entered the kitchen. "I can do the rest by myself.""Let's do it together." I replied, not wanting to go back to the living room now and be idle or listen to the guys talk. I love being busy.He smiled and shook his head. "You should go. There is nothing much to do here anyways. We just have to leave the food to cook."I sighed. I shouldn't have been stubborn when he had explained that. "Okay, dad. Be out soon.""I will be right after you." He nodded.I walked out of the kitchen and found Kevin waiting by the door. Even though I knew he was there waiting for me, I walked past him as if I didn't know he was there."Ella," he called out, walking after me.I pretended not to hear him. He rushed towards me and I gasped as I felt his hand on mine, yanking me towards him and turned me to face him."Are you still mad at me?" He asked, staring into my eyes.Uh? I melted as I stared into his eyes. I for
Kevin's POVI was glad that she wasn't mad at me anymore. I still itched to kiss her though and fought hard to not look at her lips. It was a good thing that we had been interrupted or I didn't know how far I would have taken the kiss. I wanted her in my bed and under my skin.I smiled as we walked to meet the others, hoping that the throbbing erection that I felt wasn't bulging out of my trousers. That would be awkward to explain. How could I tell them that we were only talking if I had my penis strutting out of my pants and begging to be out?Yeah, that must have been one intense conversation. The lips had worked so much. I could imagine and hear the responses of the men in my head.We joined the others and they raised their heads up as they sensed us. I raised my head up, daring my men to say a word.Some of them swallowed as they looked away and I knew that they had understood the signal I had given them and would stick to the warning. Ella was already worried of what they would t
Kevin's POV"Let's do this." I shouted at the men, cheering them on. "Let's do this one more round."The men groaned but it wasn't because they were complaining but were tired. I knew they were tired but they also knew as much as I did why we had to keep training even if our bones are dying in pain and begging us for some minutes of rest.I was tired as well but couldn't afford to stop because of what was at stake. I had no doubt that Kenneth of a bastard was planning something disastrous and we couldn't afford to slack on building our strength and training our muscles harder, knowing that we would be outnumbered.I wouldn't be surprised if he came and hunted us down with all his soldiers. He always seemed to go overboard with everything that he did. Even if he came with a quarter of his soldiers, we were still outnumbered, considering that we weren't up to twenty here and couldn't ask for help from our packs.I couldn't ask for help to fight this war because I didn't want my people i
Maya's POVI looked back at the door with panic as I packed my stuff into a bag. I had to leave here soon if I wanted to stay alive. Those sly girls. I shouldn't have trusted them. They had gone to the palace to check out my story and ended up telling the palace guards what I had told them and now, those ones were at the door threatening to break it down if I didn't open up and follow them to the palace at the order of the alpha's father."Open this door, Maya. We know you are in there." The head guard roared.I shook my head, forcing myself to remain calm through the hysteria I felt. I wouldn't be tricked. They couldn't have known I was in here. I had seen them from afar before they got to the door and rushed to my bedroom to pack my stuff. I had been moving silently through the bedroom as I packed my stuff and dumped them into a travel bag. There was no way they could have heard me even with their supernatural hearing."Maya, by the order of the alpha, we demand that you open this d
Melody's POV"How did you find me?" I asked once we were back to safety."I got to where we were to meet but didn't find you. I was looking for you with Neo and Nick when I heard you scream and knew something was wrong. I called dad and we traced your scent." Nathan said.I shook my head. Everything he said was confusing. He couldn't have heard me when I was far away. How could he have traced my scent when he didn't have a dog with him?""You brought a dog?" I asked."A dog?" Nick asked, looking confused."You said you traced my scent. Didn't you do that with a dog?"The boys looked at one another and laughed. "I thought you just heard dad say we were werewolves."My eyes rounded with surprise. I wondered how many surprises I was going to have to deal with today. "He wasn't kidding. I thought he was only trying to scare the witch.""My dad doesn't make empty threats."I sucked in a breath. "You are really werewolves? Can you prove it?"The boys looked unsettled. "I don't think that is
Melody's POV"Why didn't you use the drug I gave you?" She asked.I frowned, wondering what she was talking about. "Which drug?"She snorted. "The drug I gave the other day when you complained of headaches.""I told you I used it.""You lied to me that day and I knew it. If you had used the drug, you would have been dead in the next five minutes after using it."I went pale. "I'm glad I didn't use it.""You left me no choice but to do this. I was trying to make your death painless but I guess you love pain." She smiled."Why do you want to kill me?" I didn't understand her. How could a little girl like her think of killing me?"Why do you hate sweets?""It's bad for me.""Good." She cackled. "I want to kill you because you are bad for me. You can't be allowed to grow up. You would ruin my plans.""How can you know what would happen to me in the future?""Because I know." She smirked and right before my eyes, started changing until she became a grown woman with gnarled fingers and an u
Melody's POVThe school trip was boring, more than I thought it would be. It wasn't that I had great hopes for it but I hated how I was disappointed.This wasn't it. The teachers should have just given us a free day and told us to stay at home if they didn't want to teach today rather than bringing us to a place as dry as this.The other kids were playing a game to pass the time but I wasn't interested in it. The game was boring to me as well. I stayed off from them so they wouldn't drag me into their boring game against my wish."Why are you here alone?" Nathan asked as he walked towards me.He was alone and I wondered where his brothers were."I was bored. This place is dry." I replied. "I want to go home."He chuckled. "I know. Me too. I can't believe I was looking forward so much to this.""I wasn't." I confessed.He nodded. "Too bad that we can't go home until the teachers say we can.""Why don't we play a game together?" I asked, gearing with excitement as the idea popped into m
Nathan's POVEve was back immediately the teacher left. "Aren't you excited about the trip? There is so much we can get done."I snorted. So much like what? The girl was too strange for my liking. I had been focused on the dangers of the school trip and didn't remember that Eve was here until she popped her unwanted face again.She turned to Melody, ignoring my snort. "How does your head feel now? Have you taken the drug?" She asked."Yes, my head feels better now. Thank you.""You used the drug?" Eve asked, confirming she had heard right."Yes." Melody lied. The drug was on the ground, under her shoe."I didn't see you take it.""Were you watching her?" I frowned."I was worried about her." Eve replied."I took it immediately you turned your back and walked back to your seat. I slipped it into my mouth then."Eve stared at Melody for a long time, looking as if she didn't believe her. Eventually, she nodded to herself and walked back to her seat without a word.I frowned. "You should
Maya's POVI was brimming with excitement and anxiety that both emotions bothered on hyperactivity. I felt like a child again. I felt like I was finally living after all these days of feeling dead and numb.Who could have believed that it was Kevin and Ella who made me go numb and dead inside and it was also because of them that I would feel alive again?I was excited. This was my chance to get back at Kevin for breaking my heart and Ella for stealing the position that belonged to me.I loved karma. I couldn't believe it was finally working for me after all these years and deciding to fight on my behalf. They shouldn't have messed with me. In Kevin's next life, I hoped he would think twice before hurting another female.The only person I felt for in this revenge scheme of mine was Liam but I didn't care much about him as much as I cared about what I was to do. He was going to be affected as he was always by Kevin's side and also going to be heartbroken as he was an annoyingly loyal be
Neo's POVMelody had to be kidding me. How could she have brought another person into our circle? This wasn't the time to get friendly with strangers. She didn't even know this girl for up to a day and she was already being friends with her and having her eat with us. I couldn't believe her guts. She was unbelievable.For all I knew, this girl was not an ordinary girl. I forced myself to calm down, reminding myself that she didn't know of the dangers that lay ahead of her. She didn't know that she had to be careful and was being her usual bubbly self. It wasn't her fault that I had begun to suspect everyone and everyone that crossed my path. It wasn't her fault at all.I looked at Eve and wondered if she was oblivious to how my brothers and I felt about her or was just trying to be stubborn. She would have known since that we weren't open to her being here with our scowls and I thought that she would have excused herself.Wouldn't it be better for her to leave and eat alone than eat h
Melody's POV"Can we eat lunch together?" She suddenly asked, just before we got to class."I... I uh..." I didn't know what to say. I didn't know how to tell her that I already made plans for lunch so it wouldn't seem like I was trying to reject her."I am not trying to do anything." She began.I frowned, wondering what she meant by that. I never said she was trying to do anything.She continued. "The thing is, I have a lot of friends at the school where I transferred from and I'm not used to eating alone. You seem kind and moreover, you were the first person to smile at me here and that was why I thought that we could be friends. I only asked if we could eat lunch together because I already see you as a friend."I sighed. She was extremely chatty but I preferred that to her crying. I understood what she was trying to say and found myself nodding in agreement before thinking it through. I knew how much it sucked to eat alone in a large gathering of people. It was awkward feeling to f
Melody's POVThe boys had adapted to being my friends again and I was relieved that I didn't have to worry about them suffocating me with their overprotectiveness."Where should we hang out during break time?" I asked them as we saw one another in the morning and moved towards the school entrance."Take care of yourself, kids." Uncle Liam said and waved as he turned and walked away from us."Should we hang out in the garden?" Neo suggested. "I love the smell of flowers.""Me too." I agreed, smiling at them. "I also love flowers." I also loved being in the garden with the boys. They knew so much about flowers that I always learn something new from them. I wondered where they had learned about flowers from.The bell rang to signify the start of the classes and I watched as our homeroom teacher walked in, with a new student by her side.The girl seemed shy and I felt my heart move towards her. I remembered how nervous I had been on my first day here as well, wondering what my new classma
