When he thought it would be rainbow the whole day, it turned out it was raining. Mira pushed him away again after the incident at the encampment. Her attitude turned cold and he didn’t know why. For days, Mira avoided being in the same room as him. When it was time for him to sleep, she would be out of the pack mansion, continuing her former life. They never had any meals together. She was avoiding him at all cost.
Mira opened her eyes and the familiar sense washed over her. She looked around at the simplicity of the room she was in. Slowly sitting herself, her body ached in every direction. She felt like she had been run over by a bulldozer. Her eyes perked by the sound of the water coming from the door across the room.A
For the next few days, planning, brainstorming and scouting all happened. Dozens of plans and contingencies were taken into consideration if they were to work together in hunting Damien. Cohen had established a team specifically to scout Damien’s last known location. The royal vampire wasn’t like the rest of his siblings. He had dark witches and a big army working for him, covering every possible track of their whereabouts. As tricky as he was, Mira knew sooner or later he would eventually make a mistake and reveal his own location.
He sat on the chair of his office, looking exhausted and lacking sleep. Meeting after meeting had been attended regarding the Southern Werewolves Pack but everything went back to square one again. The Defense Council dismissed the Councilors’ appeal to move Enforcers into the aforementioned pack territory. Sure the Council had ten times Enforcers than Alpha Cohen’s but they could not ignore the fact that the Kingsley family was the reason why the Council still remained strong and tall after decades of wars with the vampires.
“Oh come on!” Grover groaned in annoyance after Dalton pushed him to the chair. He folded his arms over his chest. “Let me guess you want to have a word with Mira.”Grover was far from surprised. He knew to expect this to happen one way or another. That was the downside working with a well-know
He got up from the chair and went to the glass wall that had the view of his club. His hand reached for the pocket on his waistcoat and took out a photo of himself with a brunette woman. When he knew her, he knew nothing about the supernatural world. Because of her, he was tangled in her world and he didn’t complain about it.
Hearing that from Grover, Dalton realized how much the Council had caused pain to those they swore to protect. Dalton was at loss of words. He didn’t realize how blind he was in the past. He was just following orders blindly even if it means killing people. When they went after the Resistance, Dalton had nothing else in his mind. They were told that the Resistance was working with the vampires while pretending they were sheltering humans from the wars. They were supplying humans as blood banks.
The car moved again, leaving the club. Staring out of the window as her mind wandered somewhere else. Yet her fingers couldn’t stop brushing against each other. Mira looked on her fingers—the same fingers that touched the bullet earlier. There was no hint of pain. Not even the slightest. Her skin didn’t burn. Like any other werewolves, she usually would feel pain or her skin would burn whenever it touched silver or wolfsbane — anything that could potentially hurt a werewolf. Except that this time she felt nothing.
The next morning, she leaned against the porch’s pillar as she watched Cohen train with his Enforcers. Of course, the Alpha took it as a sign to parade his shirtless body everywhere. She just rolled her eyes off when he did that.
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.
