Maverick's POVI looked at Ellen questioningly but Brynlee squeezed my hands tightly. As much as I wanted to respect her wishes, this wasn't one of them. "Tell me what happened, Brynlee" I asked, looking at her sternly for the first time.I saw her looking scared and my heart broke but that was the only way to get her talking. She was one hell of a stubborn person if pampered. I steered my heart into stone so she could come open."I... She... She saved me, truly. She did save me" she stuttered, incoherently.I sighed helplessly at her shaky emotions as Ellen sent me a mindlink to stop. She was going to explain everything to me and that Brynlee was in a sensitive state due to the pregnancy."She saved you? Won't you tell me how she saved you?" I asked, letting go of my stern face. I put on a smile just to tell her I wasn't angry.Then slowly she told me how she almost got crushed by the shelf but was save luckily by Cassy."Although I doubt her sincerity but she indeed saved me and I
Maverick's POVSorcery? "How could you be so sure, doctor? Sorcery can only be done by specific people. Are you trying to lay blame?" Uncle Berth asked, looking at the doctor."I wouldn't dare. I observed the blood I had extracted from His Majesty and our beta's mate. They looked the same and the composition is weird. All my life as a scientist, I have never seen such a composition...""You still haven't answered the question. A weird combination does make it a sorcery. It's impossible for just anyone.." Uncle Berth said, defensively.I furrowed my brows at his words. Even if he was being logical, he should know that the royal physician wasn't just any doctor. Everyone knows Evey royal physician must have a special ability to detect poison in the bloodstream.Besides, he was highly trained by both scientist and a powerful sorcerer. His mentor was the last sorcerer in the kingdom before his death."Uncle Berth, you of all people shouldn't be questioning him about his observations," I
Third POVA certain man walked under the full moon light, dressed in dark Cardigan which had a hoody that covered his head. He walked out of the large gate, walking towards the bushes, having his leg kick through the green grasses while he looked backwards as he moved forward.There was none who kept watch at that period of the night, and so he walked with the confidence and the comfort which the night gave him. He walked until he looked backwards and could tell within himself that the path was clear for him to transform.He took off the hoody slowly away from his head, and the moonlight shone on him so bright that it was evident who it was. Berth! The same man who was a close relative to the Alpha of the pack, and the same man who had called on Cassy to start up his own redemption plan.Slowly, he unzipped what he wore covering his torso, and then slowly, he threw his hands open, breathing in heavy air as he tried absorbing the light from the moon.And then his transformation began.
Brynlee's POVMy mind had not still drifted away from the good things which Cassy displayed as the time went on. It was as though she had other motives, yet, my hands could not place them.Since the event at the library, where I tripped and almost got crushed by a huge shelf, and how she had ran out of the shadows into grabbing the shelf from crushing me, there was something different about her..It was as though she has repented of what she was usually known for. It was as though she was different at that point, and though my mind didn't feel pleased with what she showed off, the evidences of her changed lifestyle was not easy to deny.Ellen and all that knew her perfectly before I had even arrived in the werewolf world had warned me countless times about her, and how sneaky, terrible and manipulative she was.Well, that had to be true seeing what had happened that led to the good news which I still enjoyed today. How she had tried with all of her strength and her assets to lure my m
Brynlee's POVAwwnnn! Little Elise wanted to have another time with me again. It has been damn too long since I had set eyes on her, reasons being that I was still locked up because of her own safety, hence, only others could come set eyes on me, and little Elise was no different."Aunty Lee..." her tiny little voice called out to me, and I couldn't help but crouch down to her level so I could stare into those tiny beautiful eyes of hers."Hello Elise. How you doing?" I asked her as I placed my hand around her shoulders, and the smiled at her."I came to see you. They told me you couldn't come out of the room. Why? Is it because of Uncle?" she asked with curious eyes, staring at me.What term would I use to explain to the little one that all things were fine but in was pregnant and needed to stay safe away from harm and unnecessary stress.?Besides, who would have told her that I was never allowed to step out of the room? I guess she had searched for me for a long time and had decided
Cassy's POVWe were closer now as friends and not as foes as I have envisioned us to be. The path to the victory was already cleared, and it was time to walk freely in it. If there was one thing I was proud of, that was the fact that I was very good at acting. I had my eyes all set on her. I had helped her back to her little comfortable prison. It was a prison because she was locked in there and not allowed to go out, with heavy guarded men standing at the front of the door.Comfortable because she was the Luna, and even if she wanted the lie and say that she was uncomfortable with what she went through, the uncomfortable ones wouldn't have maids and servants running errands and fulfilling all of her demands at her Beck and call.She would wish to spread her little wings and soar over our heads, which I knew was what she really wanted, but I wanted to be in her kind of position. Hence, the reasons for most of the things I did.I wanted to be like her, well taken care of, treated as t
Third POVBrynlee, who felt a little guilty at the way Ellen spoke with Cassy, couldn't help but looked at her with disapproval. If there was one thing certain to her was the fact that Cassy wouldn't harm her.How could someone who had saved her twice plan to kill or harm her? She thinks Ellen was just too overprotective, just like her brother.Maverick was also against Cassy. Apart from the issue that she wanted him to herself, which she was sure Cassy would have forgotten, there was absolutely nothing to hold her. So, why were these siblings so protective towards her whenever Cassy was around? "What was that for?" Brynlee asked as she turned around to stare at Ellen who still had her face seeming as though she was unpleased with who was around her. She needed an explanation from one of them. What was wrong with Cassy?Instead of explaining, she received a shrug from Ellen. That wasn't what she wanted. "What was what for?" Brynlee repeated, making no room for avoidant. Ellen would
"What's going on here?" The voice spoke from behind Ellen, and so she was forced to stop walk, and the turned around. Cassy only had to stretch her neck behind Ellen to see who it was, and to her utmost surprise, it turned out to be the man she had wished and hoped for.She had thought of ways to get across to anyone to save her. Brynlee was only human and couldn't access to any form of lycan call being made. Maverick would be the worst choice as he would be in the fullest support of Ellen tearing me apart before anything would happen.But then her mind had trailed to Berth, the only man who had taken no offense in what she had in mind concerning ending the relationship between Maverick and Brynlee.He was also the same who had contacted her, and also showed a green light in the sane direction in which she was headed, and so he was the best to call on..Seeing his presence was more of a relief to her, and she was able to heave off that heavy breath she had held back inside of her, esp
