Kylie POV:
It was not until maybe half an hour that I stopped to explore my surroundings, or at least what I was able to spot in darkness, which was almost nothing.
A feeling of terror crept under my skin at the sudden recognition, acting on my impulse led me to a highly dangerous situation.
I take my phone from my purse to use the map and pinpoint my exact location to call a cab.
Who is going to pay for that?
Fuck! The battery is dead.
My battery dying is not something new for me, this fucking wreck is as old as I am. Well... not exactly, but it’s certainly more than four years old. Or is it five?
Who can afford the latest model? Not me.
I trip on a branch, let’s just assume it was a branch, not something like a snake.
No, most definitively it was a branch.
My heart is pounding against my ribcage, the useless, foolish organ is threatening to explode.
I use all my self control
Kylie POV:He sniffs my hand and I should be scared, I know, but defying any sort of logic, I’m not.If I wouldn’t know better, I would think that he enjoys the gentle scratching that I’m applying on his belly for he shifts his body to get more comfortable, or so I assume that’s the reason.This was not what I expected when he killed those three wolves. I thought that my life would be over in a few seconds after he took out my attackers, but it didn’t, not that I’m complaining.His fur is thick, but soft and glossy. His eyes are deep and curious, as if he searches for answers deep in my soul, my heart rate increases under his regard.I should be terror-struck... I really should...But why do I feel like I know him? I’ve never met a wolf before, and for what it counts, I really believed that they were a lot smaller.My body soon relaxes completely as I lean my back on the tree, the wolf beside
Kylie POV:My knees grow soft and I lose my balance, my body falling on the ground at his side. Tears are flowing uncontrollably from my eyes, I run my hand through my hair helplessly.“Oliver, please, wake up!” I cry out, my brain still having trouble to process the whole thing. “Please don’t die! Oliver!”Shock and despair are coursing through my veins, I place my ear on his heart fearing the worse, but hoping to hear some heartbeats.At least his heart is still beating.I check his pulse, it’s weak, but present, means that there is still hope, what can I do to help him?The sun is slowly rising so I can better explore the surroundings with my eyes, though I wish I haven’t for I can clearly see now dead human bodies instead of the wolves that attacked us. Fear is instantly installing in my being, I tremble from head to toe, my body threatens with a heart attack.‘It’
Kylie POV:What am I doing? What does it seem like I’m doing?His soul sucking eyes are following my every move, his undeniable hunger sends delicious electrifying waves through my entire body, the need to have a taste of the sweet forbidden fruit becomes almost unbearable.Time comes to a halt as I lower myself on the ground again, it seems like nothing else matter, nothing but this moment right here, right now.My brain shuts down when my eyes dare to touch his manhood, it is bigger than I remembered, and it’s already hard and ready for me. The mere thought of taking him in is making me grow warm and liquid, tension builds up inside my core, as ready to explode.His body becomes rigid, the tension in his jaw betrays his frustration. “It cannot happen, what you have in mind.”“W-why?” I stutter, embarrassment flooding through my figure.My stomach muscles clench, this was not what I was ex
Oliver POV: I cannot take my eyes of her, what is it about this woman that drives me crazy to the point that I would see nothing around me, nothing else but her? My wolf is smitten by her almost naked body and even more about her raw feelings, a myriad of emotions is crossing her beautiful features and she’s not afraid to show them, unlike any other person around me. She takes off her bra and her panties with confident moves, turning me on with a simple glance. Fuck, this is an image I want to see for the rest of my life! Her bare exquisite body and her eyes that are shining with wild lust are undoing me in every single possible way, my hands are itching to touch her smooth silky skin, my fingers are craving to pinch her nipples, my cock is painfully pulsating to be buried in her heavenly pussy. As for my wolf, he is fucking desperate to mark her, claim her as our own. A growl forms in my throat the moment she climbs on my lap and her
Oliver POV:I explore the surroundings with my eyes, and just as I thought, the dead bodies are not around anymore. I kept my senses vigilant, I am one hundred per cent sure nobody came to collect them.That means only one thing.Black magic.Anger is stirring inside me and my wolf is also fuming with rage, this better not be what I think it is. But if my suspicions turn out right, I’m going to fucking kill them all.I’m going to track them out and take my time torturing them, slowly, mercilessly, until they beg me to die. Then I’m going to torture them even more, for that is what they deserve for their atrocious acts.I take a glimpse at the beautiful woman that is sleeping beside me looking like an angel, a warm fuzzy sensation is overtaking me while I watch her peaceful figure until reality hits, she is in great danger.Nobody is to figure out that she is my mate, I should stay far away from her, keeping
Alpha Killian POV: I watch how the bottle of scotch that I keep on my desk is smashing to the wall the moment I see the devasted look plastered all over the face of Nexus, my most trusted man, my beta. It means the operation failed. How is it that I’m surrounded by useless men? “What went wrong?” I demand, making him cower under my death threatening glare. “T-the attack failed.” He stutters and I really hate when someone stutters like a weakling, especially if that someone happens to be one of my men. Anger is coursing through my veins, I slam my hands on the table. “How? It was a simple task, so how did it go wrong?” I shout out, my shrilling voice echoing through the entire mansion. “The warriors were crushed by Alpha Oliver Kade’s pack, led by Oliver himself.” He puts forward. “You call those nothings warriors?” I spat in rage. “And Oliver was supposed to attend a certain event, how is it that he was st
Kylie POV: I wake up with a start, my forehead is all sweaty, my heart is pounding against my rib cage. The clock shows 7 a.m., did I sleep almost 24 hours? When is the last time this happened? Never. After I have arrived home yesterday, I took a shower, the water was cold, of course, there is no warm water in this dire building, then I went directly to sleep. I was so exhausted, yet I did not realize that until I put myself on the mattress. Now I try to blink away my dizziness, I need to get ready for work. I get startled when someone is touching my arm. “Peter, for God’s sake, you scared the hell out of me!” I sigh, my pulse coming back to a normal rate. “Why are you so jumpy, sister? Whom did you think I was?” He quirks a brow at me. Putting on a straight face, I respond nonchalantly. “No one.” “You are hiding something.” He suddenly declares. “Why would you believe that?” What gave it
Kylie POV: Her outrageous words are resounding in my mind, lashing through my body like poison, consuming my soul. I almost feel the need to throw up. Tears are pricking my eyes but as sure as hell I won’t let them fall on my cheeks, not in front of her. No, she would love that. She would enjoy watching me suffer and I’m not going to give her that satisfaction. God, I have never been so angry in my entire life! “I’m sorry, I did not shock you, did I? It was not my intention.” She breaks the uncomfortable silence, shifting her position in the chair in a manner which shows that she is anxious to hear what I have to say. Fuck, she is testing the waters, waiting for me to walk into the trap. My guts is acting up, it might be dangerous to repeat what Oliver told me. To her or to anybody else. I would not have confided in Kendra anyway, not in a million years, I cannot believe her audacity to believe that I would. “W
Oliver’s POV:I watched in amazement as the woman who resembled my mate stood facing the demon werewolf that was about to attack her.The tension in the air was palpable, and I prepared myself for a fight. I felt my own transformation start, my body shifting and contorting as I prepared to defend myself and the woman who I thought was my fated mate.But then she spoke, and I realized that something was off. As strange as it seemed, this woman looked like Kylie, but she wasn’t Kylie. I could tell by the way she moved, by the way she smelled. She didn’t have my mate’s heavenly scent.Just as the werewolf was about to lunge, she called out a name. The werewolf stopped mid-air, its body contorting and shifting until it was no longer a beast, but a man. He looked at her with wonder and awe, and I could feel the tension dissipate from the air.As they locked eyes, I could feel the connection between them. It was like a bond that could not be broken, a bond forged by fate. I could see the lo
Alpha Killian POV:“What did you do, Sandra? Why did you leave my daughter to the demon wolves? Are you out of your fucking mind?” I snap at the damn witch, squeezing her shoulders in a way that I’m aware it will leave a bruise. If something were to happen to my precious daughter, I would kill her mercilessly. Everything I did was for Kendra, and I would never endanger her like this witch did.NEVER.To be honest, what she said earlier hurt me. She even declared that she wished for me to be dead instead of her weakling mother. I only tried to protect her legacy, enhance her power and authority. I know it’s not her fault, I don’t blame her. Clearly, that mate of hers brainwashed her. Why did the Moon Goddess mocked me by pairing my daughter with that good for nothing omega?I hope he gets killed by the demon wolves. This way I would get rid of him once and for all, and with him out of the picture, Kendra will be forced to follow my guidance. An odd feeling of panic surges through my
Oliver POV:I slam my fist into the nearest wall, I don’t give a fuck about Killian’s return. I should have spent more time with Kylie, instead of worrying that the bastard arrived home. I should have shared with her all the information that I have gathered.I sigh deeply trying to calm my raging nerves, at least I had the chance to hold her in my arms again, to know that she is safe, but now… Now I’m left with gut-wrenching pain in the pit of my stomach and a desire to kill everyone that stands in my way.“Oliver!” Kendra casts me a reprimanding glare. “We need to leave. Now!”“No! I know that he’s your father, but if he had anything to do with Kylie disappearance, I’m going to fucking rip him into pieces, Kendra!”“You will do no such thing, Oliver! Compose yourself, dammit! There are too many things at stake, we need a strategy, and you’re acting on your i
Kylie POV: I blink nervously as I stare at her in utter disbelief. I might have avoided studying her intensely until now, as her mood swings frightened me, yet I can still register the changes in her appearance. A knot forms in my stomach, her long black hair that she used to wear in curls is not dark nor wavy anymore, but covered in ash shade highlights. Her eyes the color of the sky turned almost silver. Cold, metallic, focused. And there is something more. My heart drops from my chest when recognition dawns on me, she resembles someone. She resembles me. As if we were family. Sisters. Well that would be highly unlikely, as she was trapped here for one thousand years. But maybe we do have some sort of connection? Oliver said he has some information to share with me, yet our connection broke suddenly. “The way you used to look has changed.” I did my best to talk normally, with only a hint of curiosity i
Kylie POV: My heart stops in my chest, am I imagining things? Is this real? I blink nervously trying to breathe less and avoid making a sound, I have to know if I’ve heard right or if my brain decided to play cruel tricks on me. “Kylie, baby, can you hear me?” Oliver’s husky voice is penetrating my mind, calling out to my soul and driving my heart to jump from my chest out of enthusiasm. A tingling sensation is quick to spread through my body. My soul is like an ocean, tumultuous and raging with the need to feel him near me, touch his skin. It’s not even sexually my need, more like an affectionate kind of way. “Baby!?” His voice once again is destroying my composure, it holds strong emotions, love, longing and despair and it hits me in the depth of my soul. I might be going crazy, but even so, I want to believe that this is happening, that I didn’t obsess to the point that I started hearing things.
Oliver POV:“So you’re working with Killian! I should have known! Did he demand you to trick Kylie? To trick me?” My blood is reaching boiling point, I have to fight the urge to beat him to death.Slow and cruel, painful death. I would have killed the motherfucker the moment I registered his presence, if not for the fact that I might get information out of him. I don’t care what methods I'll be forced to use, I’ll break him. In fact, the more violent, the better. I am dying to burn up some steam, my wolf agrees with me completely.“She is such a gentle soul, she trusted you blindly! I trusted you and you betrayed me!” I punch him in the liver, and it takes all the willpower in the world to stop at just that.No, never mind, I throw another punch to his face, and next thing I hear is his nose cracking. He had it coming and better be grateful that I have some self control left.“Oliver!” Ken
Motherfucker!Even more mystery.“What’s wrong?” Kendra asks, dissecting me as if she’s trying to penetrate my mind and suck the information out.“This fucking design, it was on Kylie’s pendant. The one that Jasper gave her, the one with the compass inside, the same compass that guided her to the land of the damned.”She studies the design with interest, recognition dawning on her, or so it seems.“Ohh! Now that I delve into it, I’ve seen it before, a long time ago.”“Where?” I grab her shoulders and squeeze them roughly, until I notice Blake fuming as ready to engage. I let go of her. “Sorry!” I mutter.
Oliver POV: To say I was surprised to see Kendra and Blake together is an understatement, I was beyond shocked. Yet right now, what counts is to find a solution to save Kylie. Kylie. My love, my other half, my life. It seems like ages passed since I last held her into my arms. Everytime I think about her, my heart sinks from my chest, a stabbing pain is throbbing in my head and I find it difficult to
Oliver POV:Nothing. We got absolutely nothing.I swear I’m losing my fucking mind and I don’t know what to do or whom to ask for help. The ones that I can request assistance from are already here, by my side.I have no witch acquaintances beside that Sandra, and she vanished along with Killian in the blink of an eye, leaving me with no choice other than to presume they are involved somehow. In fact, I’m sure they have some connection with everything that’s happening.Then there is Blake. I can tell that he is more than what meets the eye, but I have no idea how to reach him. I am surprised that he didn’t show up by himself for I’m convinced the news about my mate being lost has already spread like wildfire through the forest. He helped her before, won’t he help her now as well?I’m inwardly screaming in frustration, it’s already been a fucking day, what if something happened to her?No n
