Lana didn't know how long she was on the run. She only stopped when she felt her draining strength. Around her was a waterfall with a sloppy area where one could sit. Her arm and palm had completely healed. She exhaled, breathing in the safe air of the space. Opening her eyes, she studied her environment, using the peacefulness to relax.Looking down from her rocky perch, mist billowed out in soft clouds where water and gravity collided. Lana screamed into thin air, the roaring water masking her sound. It was an outburst of all emotions that she couldn't explain. The breeze played with her hair, brushing it against her shoulders. A stray water droplet landed on her arm as she pulled in another deep breath. She carefully walked to the flat boulder that rose from the center of the plunge pool when her voice began to itch from all the screaming. She eased herself onto it, sitting.From where she sat, she was able to scoop a palmful of water and drank from it, quenching her thirst. Star
Viktor was welcoming like Levi. Who wouldn't love such a pure soul? They were all around him in no time. Lana paled, waiting for Viktor to drag her out or do something negative. “Lana, dear,” he greeted before giving Levi a curt nod.Lana also waited to sense the tension between the two exes. They handled it pretty well. None of them gave the other person an attitude. They acted like professional buddies.Due to how beautiful and colorful this place was, it was difficult not to spend some time playing with one or two of the instruments. The entire Silver pack was both beautiful and creative.Dripping the last child he played hide and seek with for a few minutes, “you two, Alpha Tyler, wants your audience at the council.”Lana feigned ignorance, waiting for a precise indication that Viktor included her in the two. “Lana, did you hear me? Alpha Tyler wants to see you and Levi.”“I am sorry. I thought you were talking to someone else.”“Nope. Let us go.”Levi didn't object. He enthusiasti
The afternoon rapidly came the next day as a mother delivering a child. Tyler had Kaylee and three of the elders over to the mansion to decide on the gifts meant to be sent to the Wordsworth pack. He also involved Lana and Viktor while Elijah stayed at the training ground putting things together.After passing swarms of guards, Lana with chatting Viktor entered one of the luxurious rooms that held items of clothing on one side and ammunition on the other. There was also a partition that had jewelry, colognes, and drinks. These were excess, which Tyler chose to either gift a pack or pay the yearly tribute.“The boy is turning eighteen. I think those Jordan's sneakers would excite him,” Kaylee suggested, hands on her his.“An expensive wine for the father isn't a bad idea,” Elder Ryan added.Viktor and the rest nodded in agreement. Lana stared and admired the abundance of this pack. Even in the store, it was sculptured artistically. When the previous day passed without getting summoned,
Shortly after getting her senses together, Lana left with Levi to find Kamala, who was tending to Katida. Viktor was done getting instructions from Tyler, he then went to inform Elijah of their absence.They got ready and drove out in a van. Every one of them was armed, but Tyler refused to let Lana have any ammunition. In his defense, she had either Levi or Viktor to closely protect her and if they weren't enough, Kamala was there too.Their ride was entertaining because Kamala kept chirping about everything. She was trying to kill the awkwardness of having both her exes at the same place on the same mission. Levi tried to avoid talking to her, but also made it clear that things were okay between him and Viktor. Viktor drove the van, occasionally blasting hip-hop on the radio. Lana herself was coordinating her racing heart since it was her first time outside after what happened to her.Around eight at night, when darkness had taken over the night sky, they pulled up to the Wordsworth
Levi and Viktor were still getting a hang of her insensible sentence and movement when they heard a chilling scream. The scream was so distinctive and piercing that it made them run after Lana.Lana couldn't tell them what she saw since she wasn't sure how it happened or what it was except Kamala's face that she had seen.She turned around from the now locked doors, and as she did so, she heard it again. It was coming from behind the house. The gate was open, so they walked toward it. The voice was losing strength and it sounded confusing. It was certainly Kamala's, but it sounded different, but then they heard it for a third time. This time, it was louder and more uneasy.As they neared the back gate, Lana saw movement in a window. Kamala was desperately opening a window. Lana picked up her pace, running now. She wrenched up the window, looked over her shoulder, and then jumped from the upstairs window.Fuck!She dropped behind some hedges, where Viktor and Levi heard her scream and
Levi put his hand on Ovia's chest, slightly shoving him back. When a distance was created, he stepped between Lana and the fuming, proud punk. Levi felt his heart rate increase. Blood throbbed in his temples as his inner beast unfurled its fangs in wait. His hands opened and closed. They itched to make a fist. They itched to connect with Ovia's face.“That was a big mistake, guard. To put your hands on my expensive clothing.” And then he growled, “Coming between what I want and me is another one. Nevertheless," he gently smacked Levi across the chest, “You are insignificant. Move aside, let me take the curvy butch.”Lana was regaining her breathing, even though it was shaky. She breathed hatred and turmoil, wanting a taste of the boy's blood on her lips, smeared across her palm. He wanted to take her as the others did. He wanted to invade her body when she didn't even like his stupid hairstyle. He wanted something which has been taken away from her twice.“Look, Alpha's soon,” Levi sa
Lana gave him no chance to regain his strength. With the heel of her boots, she kicked him in the chest and the middle of his neck. Grabbing his elbow, she tried to twist and break it, but Sebastian has gotten himself. Having enough of the beating, he smacked her across the face and grabbed her by the waist, flinging her toward one of the cars. She landed on the windshield with force, shattering it.Ovia wasn’t prepared for Levi to turn. So, Ovia's eyes widened in anticipation as he saw Levi spin around. He grabbed Ovia's right hand and pulled him forward using his own momentum. Ovia stumbled forward and hit the side of an oversized SUV parked on the street near them. He bounced off the door and fell straight to his ass. The guys who stood by charged forward, jumping in to defend their future Alpha. With each punch and grunt, Levi anticipated. Lana stood to her feet and charged to help Levi. Her back against his, she snapped off the guy's by the throat and snapped his head. Having en
Viktor and Levi were out of bullets, and they prepared to defend against the attack Sebastian was throwing their way. Kamala was still fuzzy, sitting on the grassAlready, Lana had some serious damage. She felt that her vertebrae had either chipped, or her skull was broken. It could even be both.As he wheeled back to take another swing, and as she was about to dive under the nearby car, they both heard a commotion coming from down the street. He stopped in mid-swing, and she stopped in mid-dive and promptly coughed up some blood.And while she coughed, a van appeared around the corner, screeching on two tires. Tyler with two other pack members, all in black trench coats, hung out of the open van doors, whooping and hollering at the top of their lungs. She had just propped herself up on a knee when the van drove over Sebastian, hitting him with force. He bounced and skidded to a halt, tearing up the lawn next to her.All the doors to the van seemingly opened at once, and Tyler and the
