Enzo’s point of viewI stood by the engine room, watching Rhiannon chat with her friend as they talked about what they expected to hear from the elders.Rhiannon seemed happy and excited about what would happen once they arrived on the island. I could not believe she was that monster’s daughter. How could a father be so cruel towards his children?“Enzo? Do you want to say something before we start?” Rodrigo asked me before I shifted my attention to him, wondering why he was asking me that.“What?”“I wanted to find out if you wanted to say anything as we start,” He said“No. I’m good, a lot of people seem nervous already as it is,” I said to him. He shrugged his shoulder before walking away and heading back down as I swallowed hard.The first part of the trip was quiet and all chatter for most of the day. By evening, they seemed to get tired and Rhia made sure to stay away from me this entire time.When it was dinner, Michele and Rhia took their time setting the table in the dining r
Rhiannon’s point of view“Rhia!” Enzo’s voice came; my body felt like my soul had left it.“Rhia!” He shouted as I heard the sound of guns. What the hell was happening? I slowly tried to open my eyes as I looked at Enzo.“My ribs…” I struggled to breathe, pointing to my ribs, trying to sit up before he grabbed my hand, squeezing it.He pulled out something from my ribs as I gasped for air, sitting up. “Rhia!” He said to me as I sat down looking at Michy, who was trying to hide under the chairs.“Stay here” Enzo ordered after placing closer to there the metal table as I watched everyone trying to shoot back at people who were attacking the boat.‘Are you okay?’ Michy asked, concern in her voice.‘I will live’ I retorted before I tried to check on where the gunfire was coming from.‘Rodri! Your twelve o’clock” I shouted before he rolled over, grabbing the rifle that Kai was trying to use and throwing it to Michy.Enzo tried shooting at the boat, which was slowly coming at us as I close
Rodrigo’s point of viewI stood by the deck watching the entire time as we finally made our way to the island to dock our boat.I was glad that no one died when we were attacked, but I just could not put my hand on everything. Who would send mercenaries?“We are almost reaching” Michele said, coming closer to me, wrapping her hand around my arm as I gave her a weak smile.“Hey,” I said, kissing her temple.“IS Rhia still…”“No. She is looking at Khalid. Do not worry. She wouldn’t be so careless,” she assured me as I turned my head in her direction.“I just don’t understand. Why on earth does she have to be with a man who’s…?”“Shush” She put her finger on my mouth, smiling at me.“She’s an adult who can make her own decisions. Being with him is her choice. Whatever happens between them is their business,” she insisted as I shook my head.She risked her life for a man that she hated the idea of training her, and now she was all up in his arms. It didn’t make any sense to me.“Let her h
Rhiannon’s point of view“No!” I stepped back as they looked at me“It’s okay, child. It won’t hurt you” the woman assured me as I swallowed hard. Looking at Enzo before I went closer to the fire, I felt like my skin was burning.“It’s okay” they assured me as I made my way towards the circles stepping into the fire.“Let go of your fears, child” they said to me as I hugged myself, tears streaming down my face and shook my head in disbelief.“No! No!” I cried, my heart pounding so hard as I looked at Enzo“Enzo. Take me out of here” I cried, trying to step out, but the fire just grew bigger, going up in a bigger flame.“It’s okay. You can do it” He assured me, wanting to come closer, but Ariel stopped him as I whimpered softly, dropping my hands before I felt like something was lifting me off the ground.I closed my eyes, letting the fire take me. Tears streamed down my face as I saw a man holding my hand as I whimpered in a dark place.“What is happening to me?” I cried, closing my e
Rhiannon’s point of view“Years Rhia. Four fucking years. I always asked you and you told me that bullshit about waiting for your mate,” He growled as I swallowed hard looking around if there was any way I could get out of this.“Kai. I will advise you to turn around and leave,” I warned, taking a step back as he chuckled softly.“Who is it? Is it Khalid? Is John? Oh, let me guess. Jamie?” He asked, closing the gap. I quickly pulled on my dress.“I’m not talking about this with you”: I said grabbing my things from the ground and about to walk past him as he grabbed me by my arm pulling me closer to him.“Is this what you want?” He asked, trying to kiss me as I moved my head.“Kai!” I shouted, trying to push him off me; he pushed me back, and I fell on my butt, landing on the sand as I crawled back on my elbows about to run.“You are not going anywhere. At least I deserve this,” he growled, grabbing me on my ankle and pulling me back to him as I tried to kick him off me.“No! No!” I cr
Tristan’s point of viewThe journey back to the pack seemed like it was going to be long. After what happened with Rhiannon, I was sure this thing would blow out of proportion.I stood by the deck with my hands in the pockets of my white pants, watching them get on the boat, Rhiannon getting on board with Michele by her side.She was almost raped by her ex-boyfriend, but was acting strong.“Thank you for having us.” She quickly bowed her head before the two sisters who glanced at me and then back at Rhiannon, who turned around getting on.I glanced at Kai, who also got on the boat as I looked at John, giving him an affirmative nod before I turned around.“Goodbye!” Alaia said to me as I gave her an affirmative nod before approaching the cabin.I would get some sleep for the first part of the journey. It had been a long day after trying to convince the elders to let go of it because I was trying to sort out a problem and Alpha Drake would deal with it once we were back in the pack.A k
Rhiannon’s point of view‘So how was it?’ Dad asked, beaming with a smile as I glanced at Rodrigo to respond.As soon as we arrived, Dad wanted to know everything about what happened and what we saw.Rodrigo never mentioned what he saw in there and I never mentioned to him what I saw as well.“It was great. I think I was happy with what I saw” He said, faking a smile as I furrowed my eyebrows knowing he was lying through his teeth.“And you okay, my dear?” He turned to me as I swallowed hard.“Nothing exciting. I think it was not what I hoped for, but something I can live with,” I faked a smile as well as he nodded his head.“Excellent!” He beamed with a smile, turning around to face the window.“That calls for a celebration.” He beamed with a smile as I bowed my head, about to walk away.“IS there anything I should know about?” He asked, looking at Rodrigo.“Rhia had…”“Rodrigo?” I shouted, stopping in my tracks as Dad raised his eyebrows looking at me.“What? What happened?’ He as
Tristan“Please! Please not my daughter!” Drake pleaded while on his knees. The mighty Alpha of Crimson Claw was on his knees, begging for mercy on his daughter’s behalf.My hand was around her pretty little neck, her hands tied behind her back.I made him watch as I burned down everything he loved. His mate, Beta, and Now I was about to kill his most treasured daughter before his eyes.“Did you think of my family before you killed all of them in my eyes? Leaving me to die?” I questioned,The memories of him slitting the throat of my helpless father before my eyes all those years ago came back like it was yesterday.He turned me into the monster I am right now.“Please! Let my daughter go. Take my life instead,” He pleaded with me as I smirked, tightening my grip around her neck.“Now, why would I do that? Where’s the fun in that?” I asked as I pulled her closer to me.“You know what? I have an idea>” I suggested getting to my feet, dragging the little bitch to her feet as well.“I
