Skye's POV"You look mad. Is everything alright?" Freya quickly went to my side as I stomped my way out of Alec's room.I brushed away the tears that cascaded on my cheeks and didn't turn back until I was outside.He's such a jerk! He told me nothing would change between us and now he's pushing me away!"Hey Skye...what happened, why are you crying did that guy do something to you?" Freya asked, and I looked at her, my brows furrowed."It's all your fault, if you didn't come here in the first place then everything would have been fine." I harrumphed, walking away."Fine, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sow discord between the two of you...well, maybe I did a little." I stopped, and gave her a hard glare. Her eyes dropped and she sighed, "Ok fine, I'm sorry." She said."It doesn't matter now. Alec doesn't want me here anymore, he thinks I was the reason why their enemies suddenly turned up. I just don't get it, we had a good thing going. Maybe he's bipolar or has split personalities? What
Skye's POV"So you're really a phoenix, and...not a witch?" Alec asked me, tilting his head to the side like a curious child. But not innocent looking though since he's roughly big, and well... children have soft features. But it doesn't matter, I consider him as my big baby anyway."Yeah." I curtly answered, and he looked me up and down, still shrouded with disbelief."But... aren't phoenix immortals? And you don't age, so..." He paused for a while, and I think I know where he's getting at. "How old exactly are you?" I sighed hearing exactly the question I was expecting from him.I stayed quiet for a few second before answering him, "I'm 358 years old." I said, and his mouth parted widely, his eyes became void of any hint of visible emotions in them. As if he fell into an abyss. Well, actually I'm describing him a little bit dramatically, but his face was really no good when he heard my actual age."So...umm..." He stuttered, looking at me, "You're really old huh?" He said, and my mou
Skye's POV"Skye..." I heard a disembodied voice whispering in my ears. I shuffled around the bed, feeling sore all over. "Skye..." I heard my name being called again. I slowly opened my eyes and the bright light of the sun hit my face making me groan in discomfort."Ughh... who opened the curtain, it's too bright." I complained, then I heard someone chuckle beside me."Baby, it's already afternoon. You have to get up." I fluttered my eyes to my side, trying to keep my eyes open. After a few seconds, my vision became stable and have adapt to the brightness and I saw Alec smiling at me with a gentle expression. "Alec? What are you doing in my bed?" I questioned, he think broke into a quiet laughter and kissed my temples."Have you forgotten about last night?" He smirked. I was confused by what he meant, and like five seconds after, memories came flooding in my head. Shoot! Did we...did we have sex last night?!My eyes remained on Alec's face, and he was still smiling foolishly at me
Skye's POV"What's happening Alec where are you going?" I scrambled getting out of the pack house as everyone were walking everywhere in chaos."An informer told us that Erin is alive and is being held hostage. We're gonna dispatch some warriors in the enemies area to see if it's true." He said, walking past me as he commanded the warriors to get ready."Alec, Nathan isn't in his room. I'm afraid that he went there first to save her." I said, and he cursed in the air."That stupid moron." He rubbed his temples, "I'll go with them. And I'll make sure to bring both of them back here safe and sound." He said, and quickly took off with the rest of the warriors. Not even bothering to bid me goodbye.I know why he was absorbed about this. One because Nathan and Erin was involved, but I'm sure he was mostly pressured because he knew Erin is pregnant, and it was his child, or at least that's what he knows."Are they gonna be okay?" Keira asked, as we both watched them go into the forest, morp
Skye's POVIn less than an hour, I was bathed with blood, and every surrounding were either headless corps or burnt bodies of the rogues.The place was extremely big, and I knew from the skills of the one's I fought earlier that they were just puppets, and the true enemies were still lurking in the dark.I couldn't find the place that Kristen said, but it seems I was going in circles. And just like before, I was back again at the huge stairs."Something isn't right." I whispered lowly, then heard a crack behind me. I looked back and saw nothing, but when I turn to the front again, there were three old women. Their hair were gray and dirty, and their fingers were like bones and all. They were giving off strange energy that I can't quite comprehend.Then in my peripheral vision, I saw a burly bald man, he was grinning, as he looked down at me from upstairs."Where is my mate and my friends." I asked, but it was just dead silence. Only the breeze of the cold air passing through the wind
Skye's POVI woke up to the unbearable noise I was hearing. There were growls, and I could feel the cold surface as it touched my exposed skin.I struggled to open my eyes, my vision was blurry, all I saw were people fighting not far away from me."Alec..." I called out his name as I saw a figure that greatly resembled him.Soon enough, only one remained standing and the guy with the same physique as Alec walked to me in a hurry, but when he got closer, his face also got clearer."Skye, can you get up?" Nathan helped me up, I looked at him confused why he was here, and when my vision got better, I was bewildered as to how I ended up in the forest again."Alec! Where is Alec?!" I questioned, grabbing hus arms, but he just returned it with a sad look, which he quickly replaced with gruff, trying to appear strong."Alec is inside fighting them off. We have to hurry Skye. We don't have enough time." He said."Hmm-ummm..." I heard someone groaning behind me. I looked to my side and didn't
Skye's POV"Stay put." I said to Alec, pushing hus shirt up so I can see all his visible wounds.I covered the bleeding parts with my hand, and it started glowing immediately, and when the light subsided, I also removed my hands to check if the wound has closed."You know healing magic?" Alec asked. I nodded my head, pursing my lips as I helped him get up from the ground."Let's go." I ushered him out, and we ran into the forest, we didn't stop until we were far enough, and made sure that our surroundings was safe. "Can you still keep going?" I asked Alec, and he bobbed his head up and down, but I could tell that he was still under an incredible pain.I looked around and spotted a small cave, it was hidden, surround by bushes. "We can stay there for the night." I pointed to the cave, he looked at the direction I was pointing at, and looked at me apprehensively."Will you be comfortable sleeping the night here?" He asked, and I sighed inwardly. So that is what he was thinking? He was
Alec's POVWe made it to the pack safely and when the pack members saw us, they were thrilled and happy. But even with their warm expressions I still couldn't bring to make myself smile, it's just... I've fucked up big time. And a lot of warriors lost their lives because of me. I understood what Skye meant, but I know that I'm still somehow responsible for this."You made it! I knew you were alive. I knew it." Keira ran to Skye, with dried and fresh tears on her face."Shhh... I'm here now. Where's Nathan? Is he and Erin alright?" Skye asked, then everyone around went silent. Keira's tears flowed even more, biting her lips.With that reaction, I could tell there was something going on."Skye, Alec...I have something to tell you." Keira bowed her head, her body shivering violently."Nathan's didn't make it." She said, and for a moment I feel like my world was spinning. Nathan didn't make it?"What?! No, no he was fine the last time I saw him, he kept moving him and Erin. Wait, Erin, is
