Ezra HartSighing, I retreat my hand from the closed door.Perhaps those words were right, I am a coward.I do not have courage to witness the bitter truth.Averting my gaze from the locked door, I attempted on moving towards the exit but the loud screeching noise coming from behind the locked door had me still on my spot.Chills ran down my spine, the sound became more louder."Coward, can't fight me" That voice made the hair on my skin rise, too painful for my ears.The screaming was replaced with a familiar laughter that I dread.Sulking in a sharp breath, I dragged my feet ahead."Ezra...help me" I froze for a mili second before turning around instantly.My feets dragged me back towards that very familiar door.My throat clogged as I heard that voice again."Please" My chest tightened.I wish I could do something.Helplessly leaning my head against the door, I let my hand trail across it.The urge to unlock the door is strong but I can not take that step.I flinch, feeling something we
« Annalise Cameron »Staring at the ceiling with so many doubts running in my head, I couldn't help but feel really anxious.This castle doesn't have a good vibes, I could feel it.But at the same time, there's more than just negative vibes as if mixed but not balanced enough.I don't want to waste my energy and time in this place.It's been hours and I see no clue of Maddox.Heck I wish he would at least mind link me? My voice can't reach him but his definitely can then what's the problem?Did he perhaps forget about mind linking because of all the stress? At this point, I couldn't help but think the worst.Does he want me back or not? I groaned, shaking my head to not let such thoughts get to me.There must be a reason if he is late.I sulked in a sharp breath, feeling suffocated.I so badly want to leave this place.It's doing me no good.I have never felt this insecure in my whole life.I got off the bed and dragged my feet towards the door but my toe bumped into the corner of the bed.I w
Maddox Lincoln -I was with my warriors, checking if the security has tightened or not.Till now it is in control but I have set a rule for the Pack members to not go anywhere near the woods.However, they need to run which is why I am setting up more warriors so the wolves could run in a group than alone.While I was giving instructions to the warriors, a loud voice reached my ear.Turning around, I spotted Bella running in my direction.She had a letter in her hand which I immediately understood what it's about."You need to see this" She breathed out, handing me the letter.I quickly opened the scroll and began reading.Lizy is not in the Lycan Kingdom? That is not possible.My demon informed me about her presence in the Kingdom then how the heck? Those greedy Lycans have asked for their death by lying about my mate.."I'm telling you, The Lycan King kept her for himself.Why would anyone want to let go off someone as powerful as Isis" Bella spoke out her thoughts.She is absolutely right
« Ezra Hart »"I don't fcking care about your opinions!" I yelled, slamming my palm on the table.This day just can't get any worse.Each one of them present in the room flinched except my sister."I told you" She said to the old man, our advisor.He is a great man but his way of thinking doesn't match with mine.He believes in the old rules and I have long ago broken those rules so I couldn't care less about what more I break.Their disappointment and judgment can stay forever, I don't care."My Lord, you might end up losing yourself in the process.Not only you are risking your life but dragging that she-wolf into this as well.Think again, risking two lives for one isn't fair" He exclaimed yet again."That she-wolf is too fragile.I bet she can't even fight one Female Lycan here.All she can do is breed" Hemanth said with bitterness and disgust."Keep him for yourself if you want" He added.I got up abruptly, pushing back the chair in the process as I marched towards the said man and wrapp
Maddox LincolnI walked in the Castle, picking up on Lizy's scent.These Lycans turned out more foolish than I had thought.I came across a closed door and used my energy to push open the locked door.I walked in the room and with a racing heart, my gaze scanned every corner of the room until it fell on the girl I was dying to see.There she was sitting on the floor and doing something with her hand.I quickly approached her and noticed how her eyes were shut close and a visible frown on her forehead."What is she doing?" I couldn't help but worry.I stretched my hand to touch her but stopped as her eyes fluttered open and widen."Lizy" Relief flashed in her eyes the moment I called out her name."Are you okay?" I asked, earning a small nod from her.I breathe out a sigh of relief before pulling her in my arms."Did he hurt you?" I asked, stroking her hair and inhaling her scent which was enough to calm my wolf."No" She whispered, tightening her hold on me."Let's go back home" I pulled aw
( Annalise Pov )I stared at the night sky, with countless questions in my head.It was confusing, from the closed door stained with fresh blood, the picture in the library to the conversation between Lycan King and his sister.He wants something from me? But it would kill me in the process.From what I remember, he is in desperate need of help.But his actions doesn't match with the vision I had of his actual self.I don't know what to believe.He is a threat to me but I don't feel it, I can't sense it.I need to know more about the man I saw in the frame with him.My visions should help me.Maybe if I focus more, I would be able to get any information.I hope to get it because that would help me get out of here without any issues.I inhaled a deep breath and sat down on the floor.I need to focus on that one frame only.'I can do it' I encouraged myself before closing my eyes shut and formed the Library in my mind, the one I had seen earlier.Little by little I made it look how exactly it wa
Maddox LincolnI don't feel right about the situation at all.I doubt her decision but I trust her just as much.Besides, I am not in great condition either.I need to keep my demon at bay.This is the second time, I lost control.Fuck if it happens one more time then it might never let me return back.I observe her quietly as she stares up at the night sky through the window."Lizy" I called out while getting off the bed.Her brows furrowed as she rushed towards me. "Stay there Maddox.Rest for— I clamped my palm on her lips. "I am not here to rest and chill.Tell me what was all this about? What does Ezra want from you and how are you going to help him?" I pulled my hand back from her mouth."He knows I'm Isis" "I know dammit that's why he wouldn't let you go.Sick greedy bastard" I feel the urge to rip him apart."I am having visions in this Castle, one after another and I think my powers are somehow attracting something evil in the Castle." "And that's the sign we should let the Lycans
MaddoxThis piece of a shit man is really getting on my nerves.The audacity of him to touch her, that too in front of me.To add onto my irritation, he didn't budge at all, keeping his filthy hand still on her wrist."Keep your voice low Lincoln, I am sure you don't want to go through that again?" He glared back at me.Oh how I wish to bury him alive right in this library."How about you keep your hands off me?" Lizy snapped.He blinked before releasing his grip on her wrist.'My girl' "And don't think I would forgive you for putting us through hell load of a shit.Instead be grateful that I am helping you" Her sharp voice stunned him and I couldn't be more satisfied after seeing the look on his face."We are helping each other, it goes both ways" Ezra said, averting his gaze at me."You must love to keep yourself in the dark, don't you? But you do you" She scoffed before making her way towards the door.I watched her retreating back with a proud smirk.She is fierce, I absolutely love th
At the Castle -Ezra walked in the room Annalise and Maddox were assigned to.He sighs, glancing between the couple.Fortunately, Maddox had gained consciousness but his body required rest so does Annalise.Ezra is still unknown to what stopped the demon, his curiosity keeps increasing.He had been waiting for Annalise to spare some time but much to his disappointment, she is still sleeping.He left the room and walked around in the corridor where he spotted Lucas standing by the window and staring outside."What are you doing here?" Ezra asked, standing next to him and staring outside as well."Breathing" Lucas mumbled, earning a heavy sigh from Ezra."Is everyone in your Pack a weirdo.None of you ever answers decently" Ezra grumbled."We don't like to be interrogated for such a basic matter." Lucas said, turning around then leaning against the wall.Slowly a grin appeared on his face.Ezra stares at Lucas for a moment, his face relaxing as he says, "Care to share why you are breathing he
Lucas Pov—"How are you going to find him?" Ezra asked, his gaze settled on the lifeless omegas who were getting put into the vehicle."You tell me" I demand.He frowned, turning himself to face me."I can't do anything" He raised his forefinger, signaling me to not interrupt.I stopped the urge to roll my eyes but annoyance clearly morphed my face."The demon who possessed my brother was called for a different purpose.I broke the spell to free my brother but we don't know the purpose behind Maddox one.He was able to control it for a decade.There must be someone to guide him.No?" Ezra said.I find myself pondering once Ezra's words registered in my head, there must be someone to guide him.His father perhaps? But Maddox wasn't on good terms with his father.Still, he was all Maddox had."I'll ask his father" I informed Ezra."Alpha" I mind linked Maddox's father.His response came out instantly, maybe he too was waiting for the news of our mission."Alpha Maddox is under demonic possessio
Annalise pov -Terror settled in my guts at the sight in front of me.The woman who held me captive exploded right before my eyes with just a snap of Maddox's fingers.It felt like a horror movie's scenes unwrapping one after another, the only difference being that I couldn't chill and everything cringes inside.Maddox fell down flat against his back while those silhouettes still surrounding him.He wasn't even doing anything to prevent himself from them."Maddox!" My throat hurts with the yelling but I tried to call him still.My heart hammered loudly in my chest at the very first thought that came to my head.No..he can't lose against the demon.I have to stop these silhouettes.I should be able to as they are formed with my blood.The wound in my stomach made it worse for me to move.I focused on the blood that had been pooling around me.'Leave him' I command.My eyes were slowly getting heavier but I commanded again, this time my anger rolled off me with strong force.The silhouettes
Maddox Lincoln-Rage bubbled inside of my chest with such intensity like a volcano ready to erupt and engulf everything in the depth of its magma.Why the hell did she go to the Lycan Kingdom?That Ezra has been nothing but a nuisance and brought trouble on Annalise every damn time.First thing I wanted to do was kill Ezra and put Bella into the cells after coming to know my mate has been abducted."Alpha" One of my Delta voices brings me back to reality."What!" I snapped at the warriors whose face morphed with fear.Thomas stayed quiet, exchanging glances with Lucas.We were almost about to execute our mission to rescue the omegas after making a plan.And at the very same time, Bella informed me about Annalise.I have lost my cool ever since."You are going to kill each one of us with that anger and your demon," Lucas exclaimed.Only now that I realized my anger has been rolling off me with such ferocity, it stunned me and left my warriors suffocating in the process.Not an ideal plac
"Why? Alina Why!?" I let out the scariest growl ever causing everyone in the hall to flinch including the woman before me, my once dearest sister who gave me this betrayal in the return of all the love I had given her."Don't fucking yell at me Ezra" She hissed, glaring at me with so much hatred which felt like a dagger straight to my chest."You are really asking me 'why'? Is this how unnoticeable I was?" She laughed, freeing her arms from the guards and stepping forward."I knew it, I always knew it but here you proved how little value I hold in the castle.Open your eyes and see me brother! I have always been there but still treated non-existent, be it you, father- mother or anyone! I was nothing in any of your eyes.Everything and everyone has always been in your and Heath's favor." Tears brimmed in her eyes."I always tried to keep you out of any conflict Alina.It was for your own good" "No, nothing was for my good.You just think I am incapable, unworthy and weak.I had to get the
Ezra HartMy steps itself come to a halt when there was no more space left to walk.Bella bumped into my back, letting out a cuss before she steps back."Why did you stop walking?" She asked, annoyance laced her voice."Wait" I said and ran my hand to what I thought was a wall but it turned out to be something wooden.My eyes squeezed shut for a second at the bright light hitting my face.I open them and stare at the girl behind me who had her phone in her hand."Oh it's called flashlight.You must be still learning all the functions of your phone.It's okay, it happens" She didn't even let me speak.I know damn well about flashlight.It just didn't come to my mind at the moment."Push it open or slide it open.C'mon make use of these muscles" Bella said, pointing at the door.If she was not Annalise's friend, I would have smashed her head to the damn door.She could have brought someone smarter and less annoying.I used all my strength and pushed forward.My eyes widened, my body falling forw
At the Lycan KingdomEzra searched for Heath in the Kingdom, set his warriors in search of Heath but so far they find nothing.He was already shaken up with Katherine and the boy's death.The woman he loved so dearly has been killed and he couldn't take it.There was a time he thought nothing would hurt more than the woman he loved to be in someone else's arms but he was wrong.Her not breathing anymore is more painful.This time he is afraid he would fail to collect himself."My Lord, no one has seen him around as if he disappeared" His warrior informed."Ezra!" Adams' voice cut through the thick silence."It will be better to find where the spell is being performed," Adams suggested."We have searched the whole Castle and found nothing.Searching the whole Kingdom will take forever and we might lose Heath till then" Ezra explained, his frown deepening with each passing second."What about the she-wolf? You said she would come" Adams asked."I don't know.." Ezra sighs, looking so defeate
Maddox LincolnJoy and relief welled up inside of me, as I stared at Annalise in the kitchen.Slow dancing to some random song, yet concentrated on cooking something for herself.I don't think she sensed my presence yet.I smiled, stepping forward but stopped when a thought flashed in my mind.I kept my gaze on her still while the shadows slowly made their way towards her.Her shoulders stiffened, probably from sensing the shadows.They crawled up to her legs, sparks welled up inside of me.The shadows were on her skin but I could feel it within me."Maddox" She gasped, turning around and setting her gaze on me.I smirk seeing her flushed cheeks."Lizy" I teased, smiling ear to ear.She shook her head, turning to focus on cooking again.I withdrew the shadows back and approached her instead."Did you find their hideout?" She asked, as I hugged her from behind.The hideout of those bastards who had abducted omegas from different packs."Not yet, they are still searching.Lucas is with the warri
Ezra Hart"How is this possible?" I exclaim in distress.The man before me glanced around the room, skepticism morphed his face."Trust me, I have no idea but my assumption has 80 percent chances of it to be true" He stays adamant."Do you have any proof?" I asked.His brows stretched upon hearing my words.I can't just believe anyone in the Kingdom and waste my time on something that is based on just assumption.I am already busy finding the culprit behind my brother's condition.I fucking need to know who called demon on him."I know you have many serious issues to solve especially about the King but these two things could be connected.Just think about it for once, a witch knows more about demons than anyone else." He reasoned."If I consider your words for once, then don't you think the witch should have been found way before?" I questioned."Forgive me My Lord but someone from the Kingdom could be the one seeking help from the witch..Again it's just my assumption" "I can't question t
