Sally's POV

Fast forward to a few days later, Athena and I were out shopping, mostly her. I just followed around out of boredom.

"You hear that?" Athena linked her arm with mine as we walked along the colorful shopping stores.

I was going to spend the weekend locked in my room but my grandfather had other plans for me. So, I decided to leave him and his plans behind and deal with the consequences later.

"Hear what?" I unconsciously walked into Macy's when Athena tagged along. Her left arm is lined with a different brand of shopping bag.

"One of the seniors at our school got into a fight." She huffed and said.

The hand casually searching for my outfit stopped as my eyes glanced to the left corner where Athena was standing, trying to act as if I didn't care while I was trying to find out if she knew who the culprit was. anyone at the same time or not.

"What's his name?" She tapped her chin. "Brian? No. Okay." Snap your fingers a few times when you remember his name. "Ryan is his name. H

    Sally's POVThe darkness is comforting. The gentle breeze blowing through my sadness felt so good on my cold and wounded body. The only source of light that accompanies me is the half-moon hanging in the sparkling night sky.I wiped the dried blood with my sweater with tears in my eyes. "Mom, Dad. How are you two?" I asked, trying not to sob like a little girl. "I'm sorry I haven't visited you for a long time because I was busy with school and my grandfather,"I grumbled the last words.My eyes were glued to their names engraved on the tombstones. "I miss you guys so much, and I feel like I'll die if I keep feeling like this." Sitting on my knees, I cried out. "Please help me.""I don't know what else to do, or where else to go." I was going to drop out of school to move back in with my grandparents from my mom's side but I was in my senior year and I wanted to remember something I did for myself and all the hard work I did to good use."Please, give me the strength to get through all

    Sally's POV"Why did you help him? Is this not what you want?" Grandma said, her voice was shaking.One of the many men came back with the big red first aid kit and put it right next to me."Leave." I opened the lid. I disinfected my hands before wearing rubber gloves. I correctly identified the bullet first and asked my grandmother to put her hand under the bullet, preventing it from moving further.Quickly put the yellow liquid on his skin and I continued to stab the scalpel into his flesh as I dug the bullet out of his chest. When the bullet was out, I sewed the wound I created and disinfected it. The bullet wound, too, I wiped the blood, stitched it, put a little more alcohol against the infection on top, and covered it with palm-sized gauze.I walked away to check my work, not bad. However, my expression was still serene, to answer my grandmother. "I just helped because you said he was your soul mate." Taking off my gloves, I threw them away before going straight to my room."Sa

    Sally's POVI woke up still tired and at the same time, I felt terrible, not sure why but I thought it was because of what happened yesterday. And recalling the way Athena looked at me, she was afraid of me, maybe she realized why I was and would start to distance myself. I guess it is better that way.Moaning when I woke up and started the day with a cold shower, just to let myself be a little awake. "Good morning, Miss. Sally," One of the house's many maids welcomed me, and I responded with a slight smile.I was expecting to see everyone in the dining room but what surprised me was the number of luggage lined up in the room. "Uh, what is this?"Grandma stepped in just in time to answer my question. "We will fly to Paris for a while." She smiled slightly. "You're on a two-week vacation anyway?"I squinted at her, suspicious. I never told her or anyone in this house about my two weeks off school, in addition, it was just getting started."Who told you?"The woman turned to face me an

    Sally's POVThe neighborhood also looks as friendly as the people here. Not that I'm saying my town is scary and full of cold people, no. Only when you were born and raised there, everything you see becomes dull.My grandparents here are an important person. The houses here are also quite large, with two floors. I am not saying that I am a rich child, but both sides of my grandparents are well-off. I can see people coming in and out of their homes.I put the cloth bag back on my shoulder and walked in to see the couple smiling at their guests. But, shortly after, the smile widened when they found out I was standing at the entrance."Hey!" I smiled brightly before they pulled me into a hug. Both seemed surprised at the visit they even mentioned it."I'm surprised they let you come here without anyone following you." My grandmother mocked.I shrugged and giggled. "They are going to Paris and they need more servants. Plus, I can take care of myself.""I was once again surprised. I think

    Sally's POVDuring the first week and a half of my stay in town, my grandparents showed me around town. Although I vaguely remembered a few places from when I was a child, they still made an effort to show the area. Now, I only have a few days to spend with them before returning to my cold, harsh life.Along with our stops at coffee shops, and bookstores... people never missed bowing in respect and gratitude to my grandparents, which completely amazed me.My grandparents must have been the healers here at that time, for everyone to appreciate them. Yes, they have the respect of the townspeople but at the same time, people fear them, not that they care. I can also say that not many people know who I lived with after my parents passed away.“Sally,” my grandmother called, standing next to the oranges she was about to buy. I hummed in response."We'll take you out tonight. We have a gathering to attend." She said excitedly. "Wear something nice."My eyebrows rose in surprise. "The gather

    Sally's POVThat doesn't make any sense. My eyebrows raised in suspicion as my eyes glanced down at the red cup in their hands. Now, that makes sense, they're drunk.The girls followed where I was looking, holding their cups. They laugh. "Oh, no. We're not drunk. I promise." Nila said, raising one hand next to her head. And they both started laughing again. They are drunk."Okay, maybe, a little." She grinned like a Cheshire cat. "Come with us. We're having our little secret party in the woods. Plus, your grandparents are still talking to the town's Mayor, and it won't end until the next sunrise."I glanced at the crowd. I discovered my grandparents were still talking. I guess she's right, it's better to go than rot in boredom.“We will take good care of you, and I promise to take you home.” She smiled. I doubt my safety in her hands or anyone's for a real matter, except my grandparents, of course. But, what could go wrong? I'm drunk, I like the sound of it. I need to relax for once i

It wandered from my ass to the inside of my thigh, while his other hand rested on my waist. He sat up, his hands on my back, and I remained on his back.As his magical fingers unzipped my dress down leaving me in my underwear, which I was grateful to be wearing a black lace bra and panties. His lips were still hot on my neck, marking his territory.We were about to move on to the next stage of this one-night stand when suddenly a pain shot through my body as a bloody scream escaped me.

    Sally's POVMy grandmother placed a steaming cup in front of me. I don't know what they did, but it tasted great and even smelled good. Unlike the dishes my grandparents made, they tasted so bitter that I wanted to vomit what I ate last night.Immediately, the pounding headache I felt a few minutes ago, now miraculously disappeared. "What are you guys doing here?""That's a secret we'll never tell." My grandmother winked.I pretended to be injured. “Even your niece doesn't speak?”"Oh, of course, I'll tell you because you're the only grandchild I have and we also need someone to continue this legacy of ours, you know."And so the woman continued to tell me each ingredient of the drink, and she called it "Savior""Why 'savior'?"She clicked her tongue. "Because a hangover is a pain, and it would save us all a lot if we didn't have the effect afterward."When the cup is empty, my head feels so much better, and clearer, I can think properly."So did you ask Nila, what was in the drink sh

    Third person POVLook at Ryan carefully, his chest is moving slowly. Running to his side, Sally immediately cupped his face and called his name.“Ryan,” She started softly, and then gradually she lost patience. “Ryan.”The groan, surprised her, but sure enough, his eyes widened next. "I like hearing you say my name." His voice was hoarse.Unintentionally, she hit his chest before apologizing. "I'm sorry. Oh my God!"“Is that any way to welcome a mate who has just returned from the dead?” He was joking.Sally stared at him and said. "That's not funny at all."Sally didn't waste a second as she threw herself into his arms, crying into the crook of his neck, all the while inhaling his sweet musk. “Please don't do that again.”Ryan wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tighter, never wanting to let her go again. “I love you too,” Her breath hitched and she buried her face deeper into his neck.After a moment, they let go and looked at each other, looking for more casualties to fi

Unaware, tears rolled down her ash-stained face.“Ryan,” She began softly, her eyes roaming around his body and finding the wound, blood pouring out endlessly. This cannot happen. He is a werewolf. An Alpha. He should have been cured by now. Unless the wound is caused by silver, pure silver.Sally sobbed endlessly. She felt everyone's eyes on her, rage filling her entire being. “Let's capture the rogues and find Oliver Donne. Now."Sally's orderly roar echoed throughout the area. Picturing a mental image of what the despicable man looked like only made me angrier. And as if they saw what was going on in my head, they barked orders at each other and ran away in different directions.“Please wake up. Ryan!" She shook her head. "I need you, so do everything you can and wake up."His body slowly went limp in her arms, making it a little difficult for her to bear him. “Ryan, no, wake up. Please."Sally s

And the first thing Sally said was. “Where is Ryan?”Everyone was dumbfounded.Her face stiffened at their sudden silence. “You're all here, but none of you know where he is.”Her voice lowered. “What happened to be able to link minds?”“We tried to contact him but he did not respond.”Sally frowned, suspicious. She looked around. “Can you guys link up?”It looked as if they were trying to communicate with each other through their minds, and they looked frustrated by it.“No,” Linus said.She is upset.“There is magic here, blocking all of the swarm's mental links to each other.”Sally looked at something behind Allen. “Is that my sword?”The boy nodded with a slight smile. “My mom said you'd be here, so…” He handed the weapon to Sally.“Thank you, Allen.

    Sally's POVMy whole life has been a lie. I can't even handle this right now. Slowly, lowering myself to the mat, I sat and stared at the flashbacks of my life before and after everything that had happened.I remember my grandmother always saying that I was royalty in their eyes, supposed to rule the world with Ryan's pack. And she continued to emphasize the two nouns, King and queen.Also, every summer vacation when I was young, my grandfather would show me off to his guests, which made me feel very uncomfortable. And it got to the point where I remember my mother having to take me for a walk every time someone passed by."And I know you saw something in your dream, Sally. You looked pale when you walked in here." She was silent for a while. "Is that your mate? Did he call you?"My silence is the answer. Even though I tried to deny the fear that the dream brought me, I couldn't, it still lingered in my mind. The image of Ryan covered in blood and pain, stuck.At least I have to know

Because not long after I closed my eyes, my mind took me to a strangely familiar place."Sally, help." A whisper rang out around me.Standing in the middle of a barren field, 50 yards away from me, Ryan stood sullenly, his face pale, his right fist clutched tightly to his hip.I shivered as the cold wind whipped my skin but my eyes never left him. Is he okay? Why does he look so sick?When I looked closely at his deathly curled fists, they were covered in blood. Why? Whose blood is that? It can't be his, right? What happened?“Ryan,” I called, but no sound came out. I called again and again until I was tired and my throat became hoarse.He just stared at me with pain in his eyes.He may be standing but his eyes say otherwise. The light in his eyes was gone and I wondered if it was my fault.Looking closely at him, I felt like he was gone a long time ago and this was just an illusion.

    Sally's POVWhen the room became silent, the shadow moved quite quickly, as if trying not to be caught.“Do you want something to drink or something to eat?” I said, pretending to chat while Jill wrote something on paper.It writes. “There is a spy. You should be careful."I nodded in response. Then he replied through my makeup chat. “I'd love to, but I'm going to apologize and spend the week preparing for what's to come. You are invited to my coronation.”“You should be careful too.” I wrote again. He gave me a quick nod with a forced smile and left the room with his men.Kingsley turned around just as the young leader went out, quickly rushing to my left and whispering. “Something has changed here, Luna Sally.”“I know, I can feel it too.” I looked at him from a very close distance. “I need you to find someone, if he's not here that means he knows I came looking for him.”He left me in the office to plan while he went looking for the given name.

"What's going on?"“The Alexander clan attacked us.”“Ub, I understand that part, but what exactly happened?”Arnav sighed first. “Goray Alexander was murdered, and the Alexander family suspects us of being the culprit.”I frowned at the news. “Why am I just hearing this now? Why did the Alexander clan suspect it was us? Do you have any other sources to find out who killed Mr. Goray?"From a maid in the house, I slipped off my coat. “Find me something, Arnav. We need to clear our names as soon as possible before something unspeakable happens.” I gave the order and went straight to my office.I was startled to see Kingsley behind me, I forgot that he was also with me. “Let's make you feel at home while I deal with all this.”He remained silent while panting from the flight and the energy he had to put

    Sally's POVOne time I left the room. I followed a beautiful floating white orb that led me to what felt like a 5-minute walk to an abandoned warehouse.I hesitated to enter the building, but the ball went straight through the wall. Sighing, I followed it through a small entrance.As soon as I stepped inside, a shrill scream echoed throughout the space of the warehouse. The screams of a man and a woman rang out again, sending chills down my spine.Approaching the noise, I hid behind pieces of plywood. My heart stopped beating for a split second when I saw my parents in the middle of the room.My mother was stripped of her clothes and every ounce of dignity, tears streaming down her pale and bloody face.I wanted to scream and help her, but I couldn't move and not even a whisper came out. I could only cry and suppress the anger welling up inside me.My dad, on the other hand, looked completely devastated.
