Kimberly P.O.V"Knox".I shook him by his shoulder hoping he would get up but he didn't.The knock again came to the door."Alpha I have brought your meal" The maid knocked again , louder this time. I couldn't think clearly about what I should do.The door handle rattled.There is no way I could let the maid enter the room.I got up quickly and moved across the room to place the chair under the twisting knob as quietly as possible. Unable to twist the handle, the maid began to bang the door."Alpha …. Alpha?". The banging was getting louder .I swiftly moved away from the door and kneeled down beside Knox's unconscious body. I checked his pulse ,he was still breathing but his pulses were getting slower and slower , rather than his body being hot like before his temperature was falling.His skin was turning from tan to pale white and then to yellow with the passing of time.I closed my eyes and placed my hand on his chest .I focused all my phenomenon on him hoping my healing powers would stop
Knox P.O.VEverything seemed foggy around me as soon as I opened my eyes. I blinked severally trying to get a clear vision of where I was. I was met with the sight of familiar ceilings, smoky atmosphere and my nostrils were filled with a pungent smell. I wheezed as smoke made its way into my nose.I flung off the covers that were laid on me and struggled to get off the bed.I was in thin hospital clothes.There was a wet cloth placed on my forehead as I tried to stand up on my feet, they were wobbly and I felt light headed. The room was dark but I could see nonetheless because of my wolf hearing.'Dexter, are you there?' I tried communicating with my wolf, 'Can you hear me?'.'Yes I can', He answered,' where are we? Last we were with our mate'.I froze at his words, Kimberly? Where is she? Images of what I could recall began flooding in my head. I remembered the passionate moment we had shared.We were together learning about each other's body for the first time .How I made her reach the
Kimberly P.O.VI felt ice cold water splashed on my face, drenching my clothes caused me to open my eyes very fast. The light streaming down from the open door made my eyes hurt since I was already used to pitch black darkness.I squeezed my eyes shut from the scorching effect of the light."Wake up" A heavy rough voice ordered.I opened my eyes and set them on the guard standing over me.His face was hard and his eyes were glaring down at me. My eyes moved from the guard to the figure, leaning on the wall behind him.Carlos was watching the scene with a smirk.Noticing my eyes he pushed himself off the wall and strode towards where we were."Today you will be presented in front of the pack jury for your trial and we have been ordered to bring the guilty to the court. Now get up and get dressed "I just glared at him.The guard left the prison.It was just me and Carlos."I didn't do anything" l grinded out through my gritting teeth.He bent down on his knees and brought his face close to mine
Kimberly P.O.VI jerked myself forward but they held me back ."Why are you doing this? Why are you lying? I didn't mix anything in his drink" I screamed at the lying woman then turned to face the jury."It was my day off and earlier that night I was in my friend's room before I went out with a friend,Dylan, the caretaker of the horse stable at the pack house". The man in the middle of the jury raised his hand , gesturing to me to stop."Miss Stones you will be allowed to say when you have been asked. Don't interrupt the witnesses when they are saying.We will judge whether they are lying or not". He pulled out some papers and looked at them. He continued '' There have been traces of herbs found in the cup of Alpha's coffee which are usually used as drugs.Due to heavy dosage of the drug had caused him poisoning". He placed the report down.There were drugs in his system? That was why he was acting out of character."Please bring Mrs Harris' daughter in here". Guards brought a tall red-h
Knox P.O.V"A witch ? ". Witches are not allowed to enter our realm without permission and other than my mother there is only another woman who had the power of a witch . She was just like my mother, a hybrid,half witch and half werewolf but she left the pack after her family died in an attack.My mother would have not done this then it leaves that witch. Could it be that woman? She accused us for the reason her family died.She had cursed me before she left the pack and never came back. Nobody saw her after that day."Yes a witch.A magic user who knows their ways through the herbs and hallucinating magics. It takes ages for a witch to gain control over this kind of magic because this spell plays with your mind set and the person who casted the spell controls your actions without you being knowing". The healer pushed his glasses up and continued to explain."It is one kind of sleepwalking but you are awake . Because of this spell you may not remember certain things that the witch made
Knox P.O.VSebastian quickly brought me a sheet to cover Kimberly's blooded body. She was barely concious when I covered her body. Her body flinched away from my embrace when the cloth made a contact with her back . I pulled cloth away from her back to see her condition. I felt my guts twisted painfully, I closed my eyes in regret when I saw the bruises on her back . She was covered in her own blood. Marks of whip marked her back.I pulled the cloth up to cover her gently. After that I pulled her back to my embrace while running my hand through her hair tenderly.I kissed her on the side of her head . Healer was on his way ."Take care of her". I reluctantly gave Kimberly to Sebastian and walked forward while facing the crowd and elders ."Who did this?!" I growled furiously, stepped away from the platform and walked to the centre, taking slow dangerous steps.All cowards felt silent. The anger I felt was way greater than anything I ever felt and every single person present had their hea
Knox P.O.VI entered the healer's room and straight to the bed where my mate was being laid on her stomach.The room had no lights on. The only source of lights were the burning candles around the room. Smell of herbs was thick in the room.It was quiet and peaceful, opposite from what was going inside me.Kimberly was naked ,laid on her back ,the only thing that was covering her was a thin sheet from the lower back till her feet. Her skin was as white as snow and the only colour left on her body were the marks of strikes, deep red and brown colour lines left a cruel decoration on her back. Each line didn't just left a scar on her back but also her soul.Two other female healers stood on the other side of the bed were treating my mate's wounds.One of them pored something what looked like water but it smelled like wet leaves and the other was applying a yellow colour paste on her wrists which were wounded from the shackles that dug into her skin.The two old healer bowed at me and left, l
Knox P.O.VI slowly walked into the dimly lit room where Kimberly had been kept for the last month.They have turned her body to make her lay on her back. The two women who were taking care of her bowed their heads and then left the room.My eyes had been fixed on the woman laying on the bed on her back.She was recovering but at a very slow rate. The broken skin had healed ,the only thing left behind was light brown scars on her back . According to the healer she had lost a lot of blood and her body had grown weak . No one can estimate when she is going to wake up .Every night I came here after the day's work and spent the entire night beside her talking about it . Most of the time I fall asleep while talking about my day. They were the most peaceful nights of sleep that I have ever got .I pulled the bedside chair and sat down.It scraped the floor under my weight. I pulled the chair close to the bed and put both my elbows on the side of the bed , took her hand between mine and placed
Knox P.O.VThree years later.Cold wind blew by ruffling through my hair as I placed the white bouquet of lilies on the tombstone . The cemetery was deserted . I looked down at the ground where I buried her the day she died . I can not believe three years have passed since I lost her that day. It was the last day I held her hand . I lost her in my arms . I tried to blink away the tears yet a single tear slid down. Pain rises from the bottom of my heart whenever I think about her. I know she does not want me to cry . It felt like yesterday she was smiling at me and the next moment I had to carry her cold body here.Her scream still haunts me in my dreams . Some say time will heal the old wounds but some just never heal . I looked at the picture that was placed before the tombstone when she was buried years ago . Her smile lightened up her entire face in the picture. Somebody said you can only understand something or someone's value until you lose it. I still can feel her loss these d
Kimberly P.O.VOur swords crashed, she began to put more force making me stumbled back ,we were fighting close to the edge of the roof . She pushed me back . This woman is a complete meneac. I was just maintaining my balance on my heels. I looked back down and then the woman before me . I am not letting this woman win this time . This time the story will be different. With all my might I pushed her back by the sword to gain my footing. Blood was dripping from my hand as it pierced my skin while I was defending myself from Victoria's attacks . I charged forward at her . I raised the sword and swung it in her direction.Knox's limits crossed when he saw what Adrian did to Juliana and how he betrayed us with his mother but Adrian was just a pawn in her game who worked for her but the real game started when Carlos , Knox's beta, entered the scene and Victoria introduced him as her son. I knew something was off about Carlos from the beginning . It turns out on the Hunter moon night it was
Kimberly P.O.VI picked a book from the top shelf and blew the dust to open it for us to find something out. "Do you find something?". I shook my head no on his question."Do you?" I asked."No". We both moved to the next book. This place is filled with old books that have not been opened for years ,journals yet so far we did not find anything. "Maybe what we did was wrong. Maybe she was not that woman and someone is manipulating our dreams or maybe history won't repeat itself". I climbed down the ladder and walked towards him."I do not know what is the truth or what is a lie , whether history will repeat itself or not but we have to be prepared for any possible outcomes ". I gave him a comforting squeeze and moved to the other shelf.Last night after we both fell asleep I dreamed about that again. This time the site was clear and I could hear them . Everything repeated in the dream about that night . Knox and I had the same dream. We saw everything that happened from the beginning
Kimberly P.O.VHe tilted my head to the side and ran his lips down the exposed column of my neck. I inhaled sharply, my chest was moving fast and shaking slightly. My dress slips off my shoulders and slithers down to the floor. I looked over my shoulder at him . His eyes followed the path from where the fabric just slid down, soon I was standing just in my sheer lace white bra and thong.He stepped back. He was just staring at me . I would have shielded my body if I hadn't noticed the hungry way his eyes were roaming on each part of my body. Each part wherever he led his eyes lit up like flame.I turned to face him and walked closer to him. My hands slid into his short hair as I wrapped around him, pushing myself into him as much as I could. I want to pull off his clothes so that there’s nothing between us as I try to deepen the already consuming kiss. His hand slid down from my face to my shoulder. I felt the tips of his fingers moving the traps of the bra down my shoulder. He went b
Kimberly P.O.V"This looks nice right?" I asked Anna and Willow who were sitting in front of the counter while I was giving small touches to the cake I made for Knox's birthday . After the death of their father the siblings stopped celebrating their birthday but I want to do something for Knox, something small but still something. Juliana was out of the states to manage some security details of a client,along with her mate. She handles James ' security farm when can not go to the town. They were co-owners of the farm. He shouldn't let this day go wasted so I made him a cake and planned a small midnight picnic ,just the two of us in the back garden of the estate . We were using the garden of Sebastian's house to keep it a secret. He has his own house but spends most of time in a pack house for work and he has no other family here until Anna came along . He had made Anna ,my level headed friend, agree to move in with him here within four days. I didn't fault Anna for agreeing to stay
Kimberly P.O.VVictoria and I spent hours to find more information about our discovery but did not come across much than we only know. At last she decided that if we want to know more then we have to go to its roots . According to her, my grandparents were the only ones who knew about the existence of this myth other than her . A half a year ago my grandmother passed away leaving behind my grandfather and my foster uncle .They have hidden the truth from everyone for so long and were fortunate when it skipped a generation. Other than me my grandfather is the only one who is still alive and can heal others but we do not know if he has the same powers as I have.My mother did not have the powers but she carried it and when I came along I inherited it. Still deep in thoughts I descended down the stairs, at the last step someone brought me out of my thoughts when they called me to get my attention. I looked up , a maid was standing before me."Miss Stone, Alpha told me to inform you that
Kimberly P.O.VVictoria raised the sword,rotated herself at the direction of the who attempted to attack her and placed the blade on his neck ,she was doing it all the while her eyes were tied ,she was focusing on the sound they were making. I was quite shocked when she mentioned the blond sword fight. I thought this only happened in movies ,seeing her doing it so smoothly was completely different . She is surrounded by seven warriors and she moves like waves between them, fighting one after the other and sometimes more than one. It was captivating to look at how gracefully she moved.This was just a training so when she places her sword on any warrior's neck or points the tip of the sword on his chest ,the warrior is out.The two warriors were left. The two warriors were standing one at each side of Victoria, facing her . She was in the centre standing there calmly with her sword held up in her hand , no one was moving ,the only sound heard was of our breathing. They both lifted th
Kimberly P.O.VNever take a bet in which you are going to get your ass kicked. After the incident on the night of Hunter moon we had come across our differences though not completely but we are trying to be friends . He has been helping me train ever since then. I wanted to strangle him and still do ,we both tried to fight this bond which was clearly a big fat zero as the result so we both decided to give it a try at least . We were both going one on one when Knox proposed a bet that if I defeat him in the fight I would have a wish granted and if he wins I have to do anything as he says . We have been fighting tooth and nail . I was winning but so I thought he tricked me into believing that he was hurt and taking the moment of distraction he defeated me . He CHEATED but the dude was persistent and in return of winning the bet he asked me to go out with himI tried all the tricks in the book to cancel the date but he knew me better than I know myself . I would lie if I said a part of
Knox P.O.V"By the way did I tell you, you look ravishing and irresistible today in this dress "."Not that I remember but I will suggest that you keep your compliments to yourself ". She started marching away from me. I tugged her back to me."If it was not Victoria's request to make a presence in the ball I would have never come ". I just smirked at her."You and I both know you are loving it". She growled at me in irritation.We moved to our next guest as Kimberly finished talking with one of the lunas . She had won everyone there already . I looked down at her ,a wide smile was there on her face , she looked breathtaking in that red gown. I wanted to growl at every male wolf who is looking at what is only for my eyes. Her beauty,her soul , her body was all mine to have but I destroyed it all. It was painful to think that standing so close yet we are too far to reach . There was no one to blame but me . I could have it all, I could claim her, touch her like I want to . I do not hav
