Two days later, Mira stood behind a tree, carefully watching the cabin ahead. A red truck parked in front. A man and a woman came out of the truck, laughing and walking drunkenly towards the front door. Mira almost held her breath during the entire moment her eyes fixated on the man.
“I’m telling you, man. Nobody knows where she lives,” Grover groaned for the millionth times. The human was getting frustrated by the interrogation. “We contact her; she comes to the club for the assignment. We make the negotiation. If she’s interested, the deal’s on.”
Mira sat on her motorbike, thinking. She had enough time. Probably more than enough. Mira took out her phone and dialed the number. Her feet were tapping on the floor impatiently.“This is your operator, Jen
“We have a problem,” Liam said, running into the office as Cohen just finished briefing his team of ten Enforcers.“What?” Cohen asked.
The mention of a certain person surely threw Dalton off the edge. The Commander looked like he was close to losing his control. Everyone recognized the tension between the Commander and the redheaded huntress, but what they didn’t know was the reason behind such tension. Even Cohen was wondering who the certain someone was. Dalton was protective of his private life. Nobody knew of his private life, but it seemed like Mira had hit a sensitive button about his private life with someone.
The birds chirped outside and she realized the daylight already came. Days passed just like that since that night. All she did was staring at the ceiling of her bedroom while her fingers were touching her lips. There was no word to describe the feeling she had when he kissed her a few nights ago. It felt sinfully right. Was it a sin to have her mate kissing her? Probably not. That was what should happen when a werewolf had a mate, but she never expected her moment would come—not after what she had been through. Her childhood wasn’t exactly the prettiest experience she had. The painful experien
“He did what?” Ophelia questioned Dalton. “It has been four days and you’re telling me now?”If it wasn’t because of witnesses on that night, Dalton would never speak a word abo
She stood behind the tree once more, watching intently across where the Alpha’s office was. There, she saw Cohen talked to several of his Enforcers. He paced back and forth around them as if he was discussing a strategy. It wasn’t her intention to stalk him but after he defended her in front of the Commander, Mira realized Cohen would never back down until he got what he wanted.
As he thought his morning would get better, the Alpha groaned in annoyance as phone calls from the Werewolf’s Council came endlessly. He knew he would receive punishment for what he did a few nights ago, but he also understood it was worth every risk. If the Werewolf’s Council had her, he doubted her return. There was only one punishment for a highly wanted rogue.
A week passed and he only bunkered down in the apartment. For the whole week, Cohen reminized the six months he spent in his wolf form. For six months and the remaining three months, he spent trying to regain control of his own mind. He couldn’t control it fully but it was the best he could do at this moment. He tried to remember the things he did when he was in his wolf form. He didn’t know much about the people he hurt along the way as his memories were too fuzzy for him to remember anything much.
The crowd cheered as he landed another attack on his opponent. He panted heavily before retreating to the corner of the ring. The crowd cheered even more when his opponent collapsed.Then, the countdown began. The crowd counted with the host. By the time the countdown reached ten, his opponent was still on the f
Days turned to weeks. Liam continued to expand his search in the hope of finding Cohen somewhere. He asked the help of his allies to cover more ground. But everyone hit a dead end. It seemed Cohen disappeared in thin air.
The travel to the address of Mira’s safehouse took Cohen half a day. But he was glad for the location. It was far from his territory or his allies. He had to stop an oil tanker to travel to the safehouse. Vincent was right.
Cohen ran and just kept going. He was running aimlessly until his entire body felt exhausted from the running. He collapsed near a river and shifted back into his human form. The shift was proven painful as his wolf still wanted to force him to stay in his wolf form. He curled on the river bank, covered in mud and dirt.
An invisible force dragged Mira’s body to Amanda’s reach. She grabbed the broken glass and sliced her palm before hovered it above Mira’s slightly opened mouth, hoping that her blood was good enough to resurrect her back. Amanda ripped her own shirt to wrap around her bleeding hand and she put her hands on Mira’s neck, enchanting silently and the chain materialized. Breaking this chain had many outcomes. One of them was unleashing the demon wolf.
Damien laughed maniacally as he threw Mira off across the room. His laughter echoed into the throne room. He had just eliminated the last obstacle of his reign. Now, no one would challenge or question his reign. The throne was his alone. He had no more blood related family or relatives. Mira was the last one. Therefore, he became the sole heir to the throne according to the law. He never believed it at first when he read his father's will. His father decided to put Mira's mother as the new Queen and Mira as the first in line to the throne, making Damien the second in line. That was the reason why he decided to torment her. If she w
Vincent collapsed to the floor, looking up to the ceiling as he tried to control her emotions using the temporary mind link. He was whispering to her, hoping her to see the good memories within herself.
She was sitting on the floor before the double glass door. Her hand was reaching out as if she was trying to touch the moon. The moonlight shone exactly where she was sitting. Cohen watched her in silence. Mira had been acting weird since the wedding. At one point, she was looking very happy. Then, she looked distant and sad. He got up from the bed and sat down behind her, putting her in the middle of his legs.
