The Chosen One Chapter 9: Dylan's proposal
Mima's POV The door creaked open, I barely had time to wipe my tears from my cheeks when Dylan's tall figure appeared in the doorway, his eyes shone with the same cold and sketchy look it always had. I hated how that look made my skin crawl, but it was the only thing I’d ever known from him.“What are you doing here?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady, it was still a bit shaky from crying. Dylan stepped inside without waiting for an invitation, his boots making a sharp click against the floor. His eyes roamed my body, observing my injuries and lingering for a moment too long before meeting my eyes again. “I came to offer you a deal,” he said, his tone smooth, almost deceptively casual.I frowned, narrowing my eyes. “A deal?”He moved closer, a smirk playing on his lips, as if he was savoring the moment. “Oh poor Mima. I heard all about how Stephanie is treating you. I mean, she must be doing it out of spite that you were my mate. She will continue to torture you as long as you

I finally got discharged from the pack clinic after four days and I went back to my normal life. Julia, the head maid, had been discharged a day before I was. My wounds were almost completely healed and I could move well without crutches. The scars were still there though and once in a while, I would feel aches and pains in my sides. After the night that Dylan came into my room, my wounds slowly started to heal by itself. My Wolf's presence even came out just a little. I could feel her. I wondered what motivated her to come out.I tried to not think that it was Dylan, because why would she come out for the one that rejected her? I sometimes spoke to her even though she never replied or gave me a sign that she was listening. I limped to my room when I felt my hair dragged and I almost fell backwards as I stumbled. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me who I had just encountered. I turned around and there she was, Stephanie looking at me with red eyes, puffy eyes. She looked as if sh

Zahra.What was she doing here? She told me that she was being experimented on in the—Wait. Is this what this is about? Are these experimented individuals from the pack's lab? But what is Stephanie planning to do with them? Is she planning to sell them to these sketchy men?What kind of experiments did they practice on them?My mind swirled with many unanswered questions. The men started raising their hands to point at any of the lined up people. There were 10 in total and Zahra was the 9th person. She must have not noticed me yet because she looked ahead at Stephanie, her face in a scrowl. I closed my eyes and prayed fervently in my heart that Zahra shouldn't get chosen but once again, luck wasn't on my side. The shortest of the men turned to her side and stared for a long while before pointing at her to be chosen. All eyes in the room turned to Zahra and she looked like she was about to make a scene. Oh no. She still hadn't noticed me. Stephanie smiled as the men chose 7 out of

Mima's POVI peeked out of my room, heart pounding in my chest, and scanned the hallway. It was empty. Thank the goddess. This might actually work.Gripping the strap of my bag, I stepped carefully into the corridor. I had packed everything I thought I’d need, a few knives stolen from the kitchen, a pair of pliers I’d stumbled upon near the woodshed at the back of the haid maids building, and a scarf to hide my face in case anybody recognises me. The tools clanked softly as I moved, the sound amplified in the stillness of the hallway.I pulled the scarf tighter around my head as I approached the door leading outside. I should hurry before anyone realises that I am missing. I had made sure to create an alibi. I had told one of the head maids that I felt like I had contracted a contagious illness and even went through the trouble of faking a vomit. She had told me to keep myself locked in my room all day and not come out till I am better. The cool air bit at my face as I pressed onward

Mima's POV The growl stopped suddenly, replaced by the soft click of a torch. I flinched as the beam of light hit my face, momentarily blinding me. My chest heaved, my breaths coming in shallow gasps."You're late," came a familiar voice, dry and edged with sarcasm.I blinked against the glare, my eyes adjusting to the light. The figure in front of me lowered the torch slightly, and I froze.“Zahra?”Her face came into view, thin and pale, but unmistakably hers. Relief washed over me so quickly my knees buckled, and I stumbled forward, throwing myself into her arms.“You’re still here!” I choked out, my voice muffled against her shoulder. Tears streamed freely, and I felt Zahra’s arms tighten around me, trembling.“So are you, I see you're healed better now,” she whispered, her voice breaking. “But what are you doing here, Mima? Are you insane?”I pulled back slightly, looking her in the eyes, and wiped at my tears with shaking hands. “I’m here to help you escape. I couldn’t leave yo

Mima's POV I was successfully able to sneak back into my room without anybody noticing me. Hopefully though…I fall on my bed and let out a sigh that I have been holding all through my run here. Zahra… I hope she finds somewhere safe. The days exhaustion finally gets to me and I fall asleep. For the first time since I got here, I sleep well.I woke up to banging at my door. I suspected it to be because of Zahra's disappearance. When my door is busted open and three guards walk in with Stephanie, my suspicions are affirmed. “Seize her and take her to the dungeon” Stephanie barked out orders to the guards. I don't bother to resist as doing so wouldn't help matters.Maids from every room come out to watch me be dragged off and whispers began to flood the hallway. The cell I was thrown into was the same from last time. The only difference was that this time, I wasn't chained with silver. I was just left to sit on the dirty floor. Few hours later, Dylan and Stephanie walked into my ce

Mima's POV I sat in bed in the dead of the night tending to my wounds. I had cuts and bruises on my hands, but my face had more injuries. I dabbed on the cuts with a spirit filled Cotton wool. I winced as the cool substance came in contact with my wounds. I had looked at myself in the mirror earlier and it was a terrible sight to see.My left eye was swollen and had a blue-black colour, I had a cut on my lower lip, I had bruised cheeks from the number of slaps I received. I looked like an overused object that had been tossed aside after expiring its usefulness.I hated everything.I took out the bandage that was in my restocked first aid kit, courtesy of Julia. Madam Julia…I needed to check up on her if she was doing well. She could have also been interrogated as she had helped me earlier while I was in chains in the dungeon. I had wrapped myself up in a way that I had deemed to be good enough. I stood up from my bed and took a look outside my room window. My room was situated i

With every single day that passed, attending to the elite pack members and serving their meal as they moved into the mansion, I felt like I was losing more and more of myself. I had checked every badged person that came my way to see if I could find who entered my room nights ago but so far, I had come up with nothing.The pack had been buzzing with news of another pack that hardly showed its face. The pack meet event that the pack had been planning for weeks was almost in view and the mysterious pack had decided to attend. It must have been a big deal for the pack to want to make the event as special as possible.The large main hall was extravagantly decorated with jewels, gold, silver and accessories from around the world. Everywhere looked extremely beautiful. It must be a very big event, so I rolled the empty trolley into the kitchen. I was finally done for the day. I took a turn by the corner and finally I stood in front of Julia's room. I slowly knocked on the door and waite

The Chosen One Chapter 78: The Weight of It All
MIMA'S POV “Come out. Whoever you are.” I said, facing the direction of the bushes. I tightened my grip on my blade as the bushes rustled again. My body was tense, muscles tightened, ready to lash out if necessary.I didn't have any more strength, my breath kept coming out in gaps. I didn’t have time for distractions, yet here I was, staring down Kia’s sister and her mate as they stepped hesitantly from their hiding place.I arched a brow at them, unimpressed. “You were following me.”The woman swallowed, her mate stepping slightly in front of her as if to shield her from my irritation. “ We have been following you for a while. You just didn't notice. We saw you take out the shadows,” she admitted. “We want to fight on your side.”I exhaled sharply, narrowing my eyes. “And I’m just supposed to believe that? You kidnapped me!”She hesitated but held her ground, staring at me with begging eyes. She stepped forward and I took another one back, her mate walked in front of her to stop h
The Chosen One Chapter 77: I AM THE CHILD OF THE GODDESS
Mima’s POVI kept running.Branches lashed at my arms and face, but I didn’t stop. My heartbeat pounded in my ears, my lungs burned, and my legs ached from exhaustion.The forest stretched endlessly before me but I pushed forward. My chest was hurting and my breath came in ragged gasps, but I refused to slow down.Then suddenly, the ground beneath my feet vanished and I stumbled, my hands scraping against the slippery floor as I fought to regain balance. I felt a sharp sting in my palms, but I bit down my pain, forcing myself upright. I had no time to check the damage.I must have struck a pointy wood or something.I tried getting up again, only to slip and fall into some mud again so I exhaled, forcing my breathing to slow as I crept forward on all fours instead. I couldn’t afford to be reckless. If there were rogues in the area, I needed to stay hidden.One move, Then another.The forest was eerily silent now, the only sound was the faint rustling of the wind through the trees.Then
The Chosen One Chapter 76: WHO IS VIKTOR?
Mima's POV“Urgh…” I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes. I woke up to darkness.There was only a small light coming into the room from the small cracks in the wall. My head throbbed, a dull ache spreading from the base of my skull.When I tried to move, I realized I couldn’t, my wrists were tied behind me and my ankles were bound to the legs of the chair. The ropes were tight, digging into my skin and making me wince as I pulled at it.The only sound I could hear was the pitter, patter of the rain on the roof of the building and a drip from a leaking ceiling. I inhaled slowly, forcing myself to stay calm. I need to be calm about this. Daggers. I needed my daggers.I twisted my arms, reaching for the familiar weight underneath my clothes, but it wasn’t there. My heart pounded. They had taken them. Whoever they were, they were smart enough to disarm me.I sighed to myself, thinking up possible ways to escape when I heard sounds of footsteps walking in my direction from in front of m
The Chosen One CHAPTER 75: ALPHA SUPREMACY
Rake's POVMy whole body aches as I ran into the halls, freezing in place as I came face to face with the many decorations on the wall. What the hell did I even miss? What is the meaning of all of this? I clung to my injured waist that seemed like the wound was reopening with every step that I took. A maid was passing by and I stopped her. “Excuse me.” She first looked extremely surprised at seeing me and then remembered who she was in front of. She slightly bowed, waiting for me to speak.“What is going on here? Whats with all the decorations?” “It's for the presentation of the Luna before the pack.” She replied and I could feel a vein popping out on my forehead.The what?! “Explain” my voice is hard and as if she could sense my anger, she trembled in fear.“The elders organised it for the Luna to address herself in front of the packs Nd announce herself as your stand in until your doing better.” She trembled some more and I became aware of the fact that my anger was sleeping
The Chosen One CHAPTER 74: AWAKE
Mima's POV The woods was dark and I tried my best to navigate to where I thought I'd meet whoever sent the package.There wasn't a name on the package, neither was there an address but if there's one place I could think of that the person would want to meet me, it's the fatherest part of the pack where the guards don't bother to oversee. I finally arrived at the spot and look around but there's no one there. I stand for a while, waiting but no one shows up.Did I miss the location? Or did I think wrong?A voice in my head spoke to me. “Leave.” I knew it was the goddess but this time. I'll have to be stubborn and not listen to her. I have to figure out who had those pictures of Kia and even if I need to leave for my safety, it's a risk worth taking.The voice shouted in my head, louder this time but I ignore it again. Leave child.I'm about to reply her in my head when I heard rustling from the bushes in front of me.I strike my fighting pose like Beck taught me, ready to attack i
The Chosen One CHAPTER 73: DECORATED HALLS
Mima's POV Did they need to make such a big fuss about all this? Rake isn't dead so what's the meaning of this huge celebration like someone's getting married or someone is having a child?I stopped one of the maids and asked what's going on just to be sure. “It's for the Luna's swearing in. I can't wait to meet her.” The bubbly little girl said and I just shook my head. I dismissed her and she walked away, going to carry another tray of flowers. Could this get any worse? Disgust filled me as I thought of how the elders were acting like I am here to fully take over Rake's place. What do they take me for? Some sort of airhead that they will use to project what they want on the pack? I wouldn't let them succeed in whatever foolery that they're trying too pull.I was about to walk over to one of the elders when I spotted a shadow in the corner of my eye that disrupts my course of thinking. I remembered that Kia is still holding on to my hands so I look down to him. “Why don't you g
The Chosen One Chapter 72: PUT IT OVER FIRE
Mima's POV “I'm so useless, Mima. I couldn't even help you. I couldn't help Rake. I should be the one in his place but he's there injured and I'm here with just light injuries.” “Rake stop. I don't need this from you right now. Just because you had minimal injuries compared to Rake had doesn't lessen what you went through. You just went through enough as he did. It wasn't your fault that they took you put first to put Rake at a disadvantage. More than being angry at you, I'm angry at Rake he didn't reach out to me when he could have.”Rake looked at me suspiciously. “ How would he be able to do that? You both haven't mated yet.” Confusion filled his expression.“That's true, we haven't but Rake gavee this necklace.” I pulled it out from under the neckline of my gown. “He said he would be able to communicate with me through it. He could have told me. I would have brought men to come and help you guys.” Beck nodded in understanding, amused at the necklace and then he smiled a little.
The Chosen One Chapter 71: LOOK WITHIN
Mima's POV “Now, shall we get started?” The moon goddess swooped her hands and black swirled around and the black soldiers appeared again, this time more strong than before. “Now my dear, you need to look within… there is a new power in you. Your levitation, you can link it with something else. You just need to figure out what it is. What comes to your mind when you're fueled with anger? Think, my dear.”I closed my eyes and imagined all the things that have happened to me. The death of my brother plays over and over again in my head. The death of my mum, how I was beaten over and over again by Stephanie. Everything… Anger coursed my veins and my eyes snapped open.“Good dear. You have unlocked it”.I didn't feel any different but what did she mean? The black soldiers immediately ran towards me. Their speed, faster than before. She must have upped their rank because I need to get strong faster. One comes in view and I just instinctively slam my hand into his chest, he flies backwa
The Chosen One Chapter 70: BREAKDOWN
MIMA'S POVI flinched turning away from the door as I walked into the room. I had to read it, my mind was clouded with one thought and one thought only, open the paper. In that moment, my fingers buckled tight as I fought back the urge to see what was actually written on it I couldn't give myself a moment of respite until I saw whatever it was. A small crinkling sound follows as I opened the paper and to my greatest surprise I saw, Nothing. The paper was empty, and I stared blankly into it until frustration washed over me. How would was I suppose to find who sent those pictures now? I frowned and let out a small shout in frustration, I had simply wasted my precious sanity on some blank paper. I hissed again and spun around immediately I heard the door creak open and then instinctively tucked the paper away by hurrying towards my bed and stuffing it underneath the mattress. Zahra was the first person to meet my eyes and it was clear that she understood what I've just done.
