Kevin's POVWalking out with a hiss and without another word to Elizabeth, I made my way past her door knowing Liam was hot on my heels. I didn't have to turn around to check that out.I heard Elizabeth murmuring something about rude couples and them leaving without saying goodbye but I didn't care. If she was referring to me and Ella leaving her without saying goodbye to us after what she had done which she thought she had done as a favour to us, then she deserved it. She more than deserved it.I felt proud of Ella but at the same time I was worried about her. I hoped she hadn't gone too far for me to catch up to her. I hoped she was safe with the kids. I hoped she wasn't tired and deciding to rest at a place not safe for them. I had a map in my study detailing how to go to the human world from our lands and that which led there from the south is the most dangerous path and farther.The closest path is that from the Utopia town and that was why they had a mixture of humans, the ones
Kevin's POV"Ella! Ella! Wait up!" I shouted her name.She should have turned at the first call. She was a werewolf with heightened hearing and shouldn't have difficulties hearing her name when called especially when I was calling her at that distance. She should have heard me as I wasn't far to her. Not answering at the first time she was called could only mean one thing. She was distracted and was lost in her thoughts.Did she always have to make me panic? I sighed as I continued running. A distracted person on a dangerous path such as this was as good as prey for the wild and strange creatures here, an easily killed prey at that.The kids didn't hear me call as well but I didn't blame them for that. They were still young and their senses weren't as heightened as their mother's would be. Moreover, I knew without a doubt that they would be tired already with exhaustion from the long walk that they had been dealing with. That was also another disaster in the making. A tired wolf would
Ella's POVI was surprised to see Kevin though I wasn't too surprised that he was around. I didn't have to think much of it to know why he was there.One, Kevin couldn't live much without me. He was obsessed with me and I didn't mind that. I was surprised that he had last this long without me. I had even expected him to follow me immediately he saw my letter. I had expected him to meet me at the red witch's house so it wasn't much of a surprise that he was here.Two, Kevin loved his kids too much for him to let them be alone in an unfamiliar place without being there.Three, Kevin was a curious man and he couldn't have stayed at home without knowing how I planned to get the ten years back for him. He would have driven himself crazy, playing a lot of scenarios in his head.Four,...I was distracted when I felt him behind me, his breath lightly tickling my neck. I smiled as I turned to him, placing my hands on his as he wrapped them around my stomach."What are you thinking of?" He smil
Kevin's POVAfter I was sure that Ella had gone to bed and was with the kids, I moved out of the tent the moment I noticed that she was deeply asleep and her breathing had evened out.Liam was already out by the time I got out of the tent and he bowed to me.I made a gesture to him to move forward and walk towards me."Is there a problem, my lord?"I nodded. "I'm sorry for keeping you away from your sleep." I had made a signal to him earlier when Ella was with me that I would like to see him."It's no problem, your highness." He replied again with a bow.I raised a finger up and arched my eyebrows at him. "This has to stop.""What?" He asked, looking genuinely confused.I smiled, not blaming him. I knew this was going to happen. That was why I had to call him out here for us to be alone because he might be embarrassed to do this if Ella is here. We needed time to practice for him to get used to it and I also needed time to get used to it. I wasn't sure it wouldn't sound strange to me
Ella's POV"Do you hear that sound?" Kevin asked, his voice sounding excited.I strained my ears, trying to hear what he was talking about but I couldn't pick up on any sounds."I can also hear it." Liam said.I frowned, wondering why I couldn't hear it."What can you hear?" I asked.They gave me a look like they couldn't believe I didn't hear what they were saying."I can hear people. It seems like a market." Kevin said."I hope that is true." I said, excited about the prospect of meeting someone else apart from those with me. It wasn't that I was tired of seeing their faces but it would be refreshing to see someone else and interact with them.We continued walking till we got to an intersection and my eyes widened at the sight of the people there. There were a lot of people here and they were strange."Look at them, mummy." Nathan pointed at the people. "They are strange."I smiled as I ran my hand through his hair. I couldn't agree more with him. They were strange here. I almost la
Ella's POVWe got to the path that led to the human world and I didn't hesitate to move forward. I held two of the boys by the hand as I walked and Liam had the third one in his hand while Kevin took the front row."We have to go through that crack in the cave and we should be out on the road that leads to the human world."Two hours later, we were out on the road as Kevin had predicted. It wasn't hard to find it as there were some people making their way to the human world as well from the intersection market where I had pawned off that gold. All we had to do was to follow them and we were out."Where to?" Liam asked."We should find a bus here to convey us to where we want to go." I said.I had lived with the humans in the utopia town and knew a bit of the words they used while living with the psycho count and cooking with the servants he had.As far as the law was concerned in the human world, we were illegal immigrants and couldn't afford to travel by flight. That would be the fas
Ella's POV"You don't have to worry about anything like that." I told him. "We are only here to have fun ans adventure, right?""Right, mum." He nodded.I smiled. That was the spirit. We continued moving, looking at signs till we found what we were looking for in the neighborhood that we wanted to stay in. I hoped that it would be a smooth transition for us as I didn't want to call too much attention to ourselves while we were on an undercover mission.I felt excited about it already. I didn't know what was going to happen here but I suspected that it was going to be a lot more than we bargained for and it was also going to be fun."Mellus Real Estate Holdings." I muttered under my breath as I stared at the boldly written words on the billboard in front of the building.This was it. Well, I hoped this was it.This would be the seventh office that we would see while we have been out on the street but this would be the first one that I knew we could be comfortable enough to get inside.
Ella's POVI breathed in, loving the smell in the air as the realtor took us through the apartment. It smelled nice, like a new house and I wanted to stay here forever but I needed to move on. We needed to check out the whole apartment and sign the papers. Asides that, we had a lot that we needed to do."This is the whole apartment. I hope you like what you see." He said as he took us back to the front door where we had begun the journey."I love it and I'm sure others do as well." I said, acting as the spokesperson for our team."Please sign this then after making the payment. Are you making a transfer?" He asked, pushing a paper to me and placing it on the ledge that we were standing beside."I'm paying in cash." I said."Cash." He said, smiling widely.I brought out the money I already counted and gave it to him, noting how his smile widened. I didn't think anyone's smile could be that wide without spoiling the lips but it turned out that I was wrong.I signed the lease documents a
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
