Third POVMaverick staggered with his bones cracking inside of him. He felt drained and weak yet he mustered courage to stand after a few steps.Loren ran toward him, his eyes filled with sympathy but he waved at him to stop. It seems his friend didn't want to be bothered. Loren stood at his command yet waited gallantly for unforseen circumstances. He wasn't sure Maverick was himself.He knew how his friend had planned the birth of the little one and how he boasted of having a mini-buttercup. The sorrow would be great even as Loren felt it too."Take it easy, Maverick…" Loren tried to talk to him. He shook his head, composing himself. At least, he still had his mate. Yes, his mate was still alive but he was afraid what she might do." Brynlee, what do I tell her?" He asked, looking dazedly at his friend.Loren was about to respond when they heard hurried footsteps behind them."She's awake, doctor," one of the nurses had walked up to the three men who still stood outside the room. M
Cassy's POVAs soon as I left the castle, I sent a mindlink to Uncle Berth that the assignment was done and sealed."Let's wait for the result," he simply said, but I could sense a hidden excitement in his tone. "I can't wait for her to run away!" I said excitedly."Of course. She is going to be gone real soon and only the Luna I want would be here…" he replied with a chuckle.Before I could reply him, the mindlink was already cut off. I shrugged off the ominous feeling I was having in my guts, choosing to trust his words meant me.I was the Luna he wanted, right?With the excited thoughts in mind, I walked briskly to my house. When I got to my chambers, I lay on the bed with my face filled with excitement and hidden anxiety. While I basked in the glory of the outcome of finishing the assignment which I was given, I could overhear noises outside my door which caused me to jerk up from my lying posture on the bed."What could that noise be?" I asked myself. In all sincerity, I was e
Cassy's POVI opened my eyes with so much struggle, grinning slightly at the aching sensation around my forehead and the back of my head, and also around my back. But the first sight of my newest environment had driven that struggle away, causing me to shriek and scream as I wrapped my legs and arms around my entire body.I was in this dark cell, filled with humans of diverse states. Some were already out of this world, their bodies deteriorating and smelly, while some were still alive, but their bodies were a difficult sight to behold.They had these unexplainable tearing marks on their bodies, their skin looking as though they were elastic, as though the tried changing form, but they were stuck somewhere. I needed to exit that surrounding. If it was what I thought it was, then I was rather more unsafe here. Those tearings and marks which my eyes had seen seemed like those which resembled those of rogue wolves.But while I thought of means of escape, standing up and walking round to
Maverick's POV"... She's dead" I heard Loren say.I was going to hurt someone. I was going to hurt my beta if Ryker continued to take over. I was going to hurt everyone. How could she be dead? I wasn't going to allow it."Please, stop…" Loren pleaded again, holding his head. Slowly, I tried to press down the force emitting from Ryker. The world had stopped its movement, and at the moment I heard Loren's words which seemed to affirm the doctor's, my heart had become weakened.I could only stare at him with my lips parted open in denial of his words. Another would think that my focus was placed on him, but my entire thought was wrapped about the sudden departure of Brynlee. I could see his lips moving, but I could definitely not hear a word which he spoke. My legs were weakened, and suddenly became numb to the extent that I staggered on the ground, falling down and leaning on the wall."I'm sorry, Ricky" I heard his words, but paid no attention to the things he had said. Trails of h
Uncle Berth's POV"How does it feel, my lord?" The maidservant asked gently as she poured a greenish content on the warm pool of water I was in."Nothing better than now, my dear," I chuckled lightly as I sipped the delicious wine from the cup."Nothing better," I added, chuckling more. There was absolutely nothing better than what was happening right now. I saw her nod her head gently and slowly got up with the silver jug tightly held in her hands. I didn't bother asking her questions as my mind was too occupied with joy over the fruition of my plans.'Who would have thought that it would come out with such quick success. Ha! Now, everything will be mine and mine only! Let's see how you will get out of this. Well done, Cassy" Roars of laughter escaped my lips as I received massage from the maids around.This is what we call power!"My lord, do you need anything else?" Her soft voice interrupted my thoughts and I glanced away from the wine and stared at her. Even though her silky bl
Maverick's POV"Place her on the circle now," Rex's cold voice drifted into my ears as I made my way inside the barely lit room. I looked down where he was pointing at and noticed a complex circle drawing on the floor.I didn't have much time to ask him what it was as he seemed to be in a hurry with something. I calmly walked towards the circle and gently placed Brynlee's limp body on the floor. I shivered slightly when I saw how unresponsive and flexible she was not to talk about how cold her body was."We don't have time for daydreaming. Get the ritual done before it's too late. I'll go get some things and I'll be back in an hour or two," Uncle Breth loudly announced and soon the sound of retreating footsteps was heard. Taking a deep breath with nothing more in mind to do in the situation that I am in. I stood up straight then took two steps back."You may leave now, Loren," I told my beta, who had an uneasy look on his face. "It's still not too late, Ricky. I don't trust your un
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
