Brynlee's POVDarkness.Void.Burning sensation. And… a sense of loss. I saw myself running through a thick fog of darkness which threatened to envelope me. I heard a soulful growl penetrating through the darkness.It sounded familiar-it felt like someone trying to gain my attention. It was trying to tell me what I had forgotten. I tried to look around yet nothing was within my sight. I felt alone yet my heart kept longing for which I can't fathom. That was when I heard a voice calling out to me, sorrowfully. "Brynlee…""Please come back…" "I am missing you…""I am sorry I wasn't there…" "I am sorry I let it happen…!"Who was this person and why was I getting drawn to the voice? I needed to get out of this place. I needed to see the one whose sadness was so overwhelming.So, I started running nonstop through the dark fog. I don't know how long I ran but it seemed to get longer with each passing time. I just couldn't get out of it and I just don't want to give up either.Why was
Brynlee's POVDid I just growl? I looked up to see his pair of dark red eyes, glowing back at me… in shock too. Why would I utter that word to him? "She-she growled!" His voice was raspy but filled with disbelief. "Her fingers are actually moving too. This isn't a dream. My buttercup is truly awake!" His voice slowly drifted into my mind and soon after a warm hand held mine. Who exactly was this man and why was I sounding like a wolf or something?"Growl? How the fuck can a human growl, mister? What the hell have you guys done to me?" I asked, breathing heavily while trying to stand up from the bed."Brynlee-""Stop calling my name as if you know me. What the hell did you guys do to me?" I asked, holding my head in pain. I kept having a connected familiarity with him. "You-you actually don't remember me?" He asked, biting his lower lips as his eyes gazed on mine with sadness emitting endlessly."Can someone talk to-" "Brynlee," His hoarse voice called out and somehow I felt warm j
Maverick's POV"What relationship do we have?" These questions rang in my head like a broken disc. Silence took over the room as I stared at her with words tied to my throat. My heart was filled with confusing thoughts. Why did the Sound I heard from her sound like a growl? I didn't know what to say to her and how to reply to the question she was asking either. Should I tell her the truth that we were mates chosen by the moon goddess or should I just lie to her?I do not know how chaotic her mind was and how much trouble my reply would cause her."Hello?" She called out, snapping her fingers at my face."Yeah, mm… our relationship," I stuttered as I found it hard to explain what type of relationship the both of us had. I can't lie to her but I can't just help it.I should just tell her the truth, maybe she could get some pieces of memories just from it. I still want her in my hands. I knew that she was alive now and breathing and I was madly excited over it but… why can't I touch h
Uncle Berth's POV"How was it?" I asked Rex as I entered his dimly lit room. I noticed that he was cleaning an object but paused when he saw me."It went well, nothing bad happened. Except that she fell unconscious again," He answered and I nodded. Now that was out of the picture, it was time to go to the next phase of my plan."What do you intend to do now that the girl is awake? Although I had made him leave for a few days," He said, staring at me.I went silent for a while then stared at the object in his hands,"That's the ritual knife?" I asked."It isn't. It's just one of the weapons gifted to me, what's the next plan now?" He asked as he walked towards the cupboard in the room and placed the knife inside.I stared at him for a while then started thinking.The next plan should be something that he doesn't predict. Maverick dear, let's see how you are going to escape this."In this plan you will be the one to take over it because I do not think I'll be able to manipulate more now
Brynlee's pov"You are right about that," I agreed as I found out the question was meaningless."Then why are you telling me all of these? I mean how did you know about it and why are you so concerned?"He smiled at me then shook his slightly, "You have too many questions. You have to focus more on yourself right now. Just take it as me helping you out and you should be watchful from now on," He advised as he got ready to leave the room but stopped."Ah, before I forget. You have to start meditating and exercising to get used to your new power. The more days you spend laying on the bed the more your body gets closer to its limits," He added then left the place. I sat there on the bed, dumbfounded.It seems I have a lot more troubles on my plates than I thought I had. What should I do now? Maverick isn't here and I am glad about that. Finally, I can be at peace from all the troubles and head splitting confusions."I should start getting used to this place. I just recover my memory and
Maverick's POVMost times I tend to forget about Brynlee's condition. The disappointment held each time by those eyes that once loved me, was truly heartbreaking.Each fucking time, I felt like my heart was torn into pieces. That was the exact feeling I was having when I saw her looking at me while reluctantly following me to the castle.I wondered when everything would be normal again. Although I wanted to feel her love once more, I was ready to wait for her.I drove the car silently till we got to the castle. The maids were excited and my little family was waiting for her outside, eagerly. I got down from the car and let her out. "Oh, I missed you!" Ellen exclaimed, tears brimming in her eyes."Brynlee..." My mother whispered, obviously excited yet heartbroken. I sighed seeing that Brynlee was most likely confused. I walked toward her and took her hands and I pointed to them." These are my family. She is my mother and she is my sister, Ellen. She is also your best friend."Brynlee
Maverick's POV"Who are you?" Brynlee said to little Elise who stood there dumbfounded."Seriously?" She asked. It seems things aren't going well."Mm… Elise this is Brynlee," I said to her but she shot me a weird look instead."Of course I know who she is. What happened to her? Why doesn't she remember anything? Uncle, don't tell me you did something mean to Aunt Lee!" She asked, pointing at my face.I laughed out loud at her words and pintch her cubby cheeks. I wonder if this wasn't the same person telling me that Brynlee was a ghost.For a while, I smiled genuinely. "Do not think that way. Geez… I am not like that," I said, smiling."She doesn't remember anything and I want you to help me make her try to remember something. Even if it's her favorite meal, please," I desperately said and she was shocked by it. Her lashes fluttered a bit and then she said."You should have told me this from the beginning and I would've known the right way to strike up a conversation with her. Uncle,
Cassy's pov"Why can't you just let me be? Let me out of this hell!" I yelled at the man. There was silence as he just smiled at me. That had always been his answer ever since I was kidnapped into this hellhole."Don't worry, I think your time here is up," he announced, walking toward me."I won't die here! Where is that motherfucker?" I cursed, afraid yet daring. I was getting desperate. I don't care if I die here. It's the same if I wasn't going to be let out. My eyes were fixed on the man with overflowing white hair. His aura makes him look ancient and frightening. I was sure he was the sorcerer who made the poison that Brynlee consumed. I felt cold running down my spine at the thought of what might happen to me this time around. I didn't want to end up like those people in the room I just escaped from. But then I don't want to be here either because that's also death for me. It's been a month I was kept hostage and I have escaped more than ten times but always end up in the sa
