Third person POVPutting her hands on Sally's chest, her grandmother tried to search for any remaining presence of her granddaughter, which luckily there was, although it only seemed like a fragment.“How long has she been like this?” Grandfather asked Mrs. Willow with a frown on her old face.Sally hasn't responded since she apologized to her grandmother last night. “Since last night.”“She's still here, but she's a bit weak,” Grandma said, lifting herself off the edge of the bed.Since Sally suddenly fell into a coma, Mrs. Willow thought it best to move her niece to the infirmary. Even though her wrists were still shackled, at least she had a bed.“Can you unchain her? Sally is not a monster.” Grandma said with tears in her eyes. The couple had arrived just over two hours earlier, and the second they saw Sally's condition, the woman had been crying ever since.Grandma shook her head. “No matter how much I want to, I can't. I can't let her risk everyone's lives here. There is somethi
Sally's POVShe shrugged happily before rolling her eyes at me. “Now, you need to die first because I need your body.”Pulling the dagger from behind her back, she charged at me like a bull seeing a red cloak. Fighting with all the strength she could muster, she wanted to kill me.On the other hand, I was at a disadvantage in having to avoid her attacks and had to survive with cuts and bruises. Dodging her next attack, I ducked and swung my leg out in a counterclockwise motion that tripped the girl, causing her to fall to the ground.Standing in the middle of her, I grabbed her hand that was holding the dagger and ripped it out of her hand before throwing it away. When there was no other way, I raised my fist and hit her in the face, which distracted her for a while.Quickly leaving her, I formulated a plan in my head, hoping that it would work. Looking like a drunk man, with wobbly legs, she struggled to get up and stand up. Shaking her eyes slightly, trying to clear her vision.“Sal
Sally's POVWho is the woman in my dream? Is she someone I know? I stared at Athena for a full minute before both of my grandmothers walked in with a pitcher of water and a glass to drink, smiling lovingly and warmly at me.It can't be one of those, right?When I realized that, I opened my eyes wide and looked at all three of them. Oh my God. One of them is about to die because of what fate has chosen for me.—----------I know I should have stayed in bed and rested, but as an active person like me, it's hard to stay in one place without losing your mind.I need air, fresh air. The beauty of nature captivates my eyes. I know this is a bit of an exaggeration to even compare me to a flower because let's face it, I'm far from being one, but let's get back to the point here.I'm like a flower that needs photosynthesis, you can't keep me inside all the time, otherwise I'll wither away. That sounds about right.No one knew that I woke up, I snuck out of the house and found myself on the ban
Sally's POVI wanted to trust him because of the confidence he radiated from him, however, I still doubted him. He hurt me once, so what will be different in the future if I try to trust him?My heart was beating almost uncontrollably, making it hard to breathe. My arms are holding tighter, I just need to calm down. I mean, what is life if you don't try and get it? Also, I can take more risks once or twice.I guess I'll give this thing between us a chance. I remembered what my grandmother said, soulmates don't come around often."Alright,"He seemed confused, perhaps not expecting me to say that or to give in so easily. But I'm tired of fighting everything. I want to find that peace within myself and around me.And after everything I've been through, I think I finally deserve a little happiness, because you only live once, right?When it seemed like he wasn't keeping what I said in mind, I repeated it. "Alright,"I took a deep, steady breath. “Lead me to a happy life, show me the way
Sally's POV"Oh. You're blushing.” Athena laughed again.“Wait, let me take a picture of this.”I groaned. "Athena, I swear, I will kill you in your sleep." I threaten."Okay okay." Her laughter died again. Putting on her makeup for the last time, she smiled. "Finished." And she started packing her things.“Honestly, you look a lot better with hickeys.”I gave her another glare to shut her up and left the office. For some reason, I started noticing how people looked my way and had a smirk or a grin on their faces.“Athena, do I look strange? Or is that still on display?” I whispered, feeling a bit uncomfortable.The girl giggled. “I don't think that's how you look. It smells more like you.”I squinted at her. "How do you know?"“This is exactly what happened after Albert and I did that.”Then she nudged me. “Trust me, the pack already loves you. They will be even happier if you proudly bear his mark.”She emphasized the noun. “And if you're still wondering, you smell like him.”Athena
Sally's POVHis hand that had been on my waist before moved down to the nape of my neck, embracing me in a deeper kiss. And his hand still on my waist gripped my skin tighter. I gasped, it would bruise. But what I thought was gasping for air, he must have thought differently because I think I felt something down there nudging my lady parts slightly.I can't let anything go to my head because this is revenge for what he did to me before and then tried to make me jealous. I know it's cruel, but a girl has to do what's right for her, especially when she's stubborn and stubborn like me.The grip he had on my waist earlier, loosened as it moved to my tightly clasped bra. I can't let him take over the game, otherwise I'll lose. Shaking my head, I whispered. "Take your time."He seemed distracted by me, which meant he wasn't on his guard. Smiling to myself, I stretched my right hand behind the waistband of my underwear and pulled out the handcuffs that Athena gave me, the kind the police usu
Sally's POVThe second he started tickling my belly, I was enjoying the moment of my life with my chosen soulmate to spend the rest of my life with.“I didn't know Miss Sally here was ticklish.” He seemed surprised, and I'm pretty sure he'll use this against me soon.“Say my name, I'll stop. Promise." He said as he continued to tickle me.If it weren't for his strong arm, I would have fallen to the ground, rolling around in tears. I tried to wiggle out of his grip, but when you're ticklish and in a situation like that, you're at a disadvantage."Alright." I gave up, and he immediately stopped. Taking a deep breath, I said. “Ryan,”And I swear, as soon as his name left my lips, his eyes sparkled with joy, looking like a kid in a candy store.“Say that again,” He closed the distance between us.I chuckled but repeated his name. “Ryan,”"Again,"This time, gently but firmly, his name came out “Ryan” boldly and strongly. The fact that he even asked me to constantly call him by his first n
Sally's POV“What surprised us was when we found out he was your soulmate.” She raised her eyebrows teasingly.I growled. “Grandma,”I grumbled. “Do you know we just broke up?”She gave me a sad smile. "I know. Your grandfather and I feel - no, feel very guilty about it. Because we know that we are mainly the reason. And we are very sorry.”I shook my head with a gentle smile on my lips. “It's okay, grandma. Everything has been arranged."She nodded sadly. “He's stupid for a boy his age, yes, but everyone's confused, Sally.” She sighed again.Taking a sip of tea, the woman asked. "Do you remember when you passed out after your first tattoo ceremony?"I tilted my head to the side. “That's it. Why? What does it have to do with what we're talking about now?” I inquired.She gave me another forced smile. “It has everything to do with the first mark your grandfather placed on you. Darling, we may not be witches or have witch blood, but every ritual we perform is magic and spells. Your firs
Sally's POVThree months after the devastation, to say things are back to normal is an understatement. Everyone is still saddened by the loss of half of the pack, but they are our heroes, in our hearts and our memories.I returned the next day, with my enemy's head in a sack. I asked everyone in my family if they knew what he had done and was about to do. When I asked about his parents, everyone bowed their heads in respect.Arnav informed me that both of them committed suicide because of the old Donne's rule.I need to abolish that regulation and replace it with a more reasonable penalty. They were both innocent, they were just pawns in the game and they had to pay for his actions, may their souls rest in peace.That night we held a proper funeral for them. We all paid our respects. Our allies also came to pay their respects.The ceremony was over, everyone had gone home and I stayed at the burial site and stared at Oliver's portrait, thinking that maybe I hated him just because he w
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
Third person POVReaching his lifeless side, she stepped back and knelt on both knees. 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
Third person POV"Let's go." She spoke with finality and switched to the second skin.Arriving there, they found Albert and the rest. 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. Remind me to thank your mother too.” She slings the sword behind her back before telling the boys t
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
Sally's POVThought going to bed would be the best idea for me, but turns out, it was the worst idea. 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. Arnav walked in on me and stared at t
Sally's POVWe arrived at headquarters three hours later, I had to match Kingsley's pace because he was such a weak bird. So as soon as my feet touched the ground, I rushed to find Arnav. "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. I held my breath as I watched him cry, pleading with the men around them who look
