Elisha’s POV He was fast…strong and wildly capable of doing something that was impossible for humans like me. Even though I had been gazing at the wall the entire time, I could only see Arman's face—his grin and the crimson glint that appeared in his eyes whenever he became enraged. I had convinced myself that I was merely hallucinating, but I saw his red eyes again today. As he struggled to keep the car from careening off the edge of the cliff, his eyes flared a bright crimson, and in an effort to keep me safe, he held both my head and the door of the car and embraced my body so nothing happened to me. When I opened my eyes, I found him covered in blood with cuts on his arms, legs, and other body parts. My first fear was that he would lose his arms, but his body quickly returned to its previous state, and he carried on as if nothing had happened. "Mrs. Ashford...." I thought no one was calling my name because I was deep in thought, but I heard a woman call my name for the third
Elisha’s POV “If he was not like this before, so was he a bad guy in his past?” I asked softly without blinking. The Butler smiled at me, “Well, maybe.” I groaned softly, “What’s your name?” He scratched his head, “Uhm, don’t tell this to him, he’ll be mad at me if I was telling you something about him.” I agreed with him, “Yes, your name is?” He politely answered, “I’m Marcus.” I extended my hand with a smile on my face, “I’m Elisha…” He didn’t take my hand because he was scared of Arman who was staring at him at the doorway. I blink my eyes slowly innocently and Marcus bowed his head and left the living room with a sweating forehead. Arman walked up to me and said, "You don't want to ask about the robber who stole your Dad's bank information and the one who took your fingerprint so they could open the vault and get into any account and make it look like you took all of your Dad's money?" I pouted in complete sadness and said, "If it were that easy to find that man,
Elisha’s POV"You mean what?" I take a big breath, and it feels like my mind is spinning in confusion. I don't know what she means because today I saw three big wolves, and they are wolves. But they are so big that they are even bigger than a human. I put my hand up and said, "I...I don't get it." Cristella continued driving and said, “There are no wolves in this area, it’s been a long time since wolves were gone.” I sat silently in the corner and didn’t have any idea how to explain this to Cristella—but I saw big wolves today, and I was not daydreaming or hallucinating. I saw it in my own eyes right in front of me today.Cristella added, “Unless some people owned a wolf as a pet. But wild wolves? I don’t think so…” I didn't say anything for a second, and then I didn't say anything more to my sister because I knew she wouldn't believe me. We don't get along with each other at all, and when we talk to each other, we always end up arguing and rolling our eyes. I called my mum, and l
Elisha’s POVCristella fake a laughed, and said, “I was just kidding!” Arman smiled at her, and I didn’t like it when I saw him smiling at another woman’s witty behaviour. I suddenly felt hatred towards my sister, and it wa snot my intention to feel like this. Cristella smiled at him, and swirl her tongue. I grabbed Arman’s hand and said, “Okay, I’ve seen this a lot. Cristella, please behave yourself….” Cristella shrugged her shoulders, “I didn’t do anything, right mom?” My mother was already tipsy when she went into the house without saying a word to anyone. I suppose she has many things to think about, particularly the issue with Dad and the practically unbearable scenario we are in right now.Cristella was standing in the very corner of the room with her arms crossed as she watched Arman and I walk. When I looked in her direction, she rolled her eyes in jealousy.I scowled at Arman, "I need an explaination---" "About what?" he cut me off. "I was wondering why you kept wolves
Elisha’s POV"How could he treat me this way?" I muttered as I walked up to my great-grandmother's tiny, old rag house. The house my grandma left behind has been empty for fifteen years. It looked like a cabin in the woods because the house was mostly made of rocks and wood that were found in the area. I didn't think I'd be in a situation like this, so I guess my world just turned upside down this time.I called a handyman in this small town who said he could help me slowly fix up this area. I only paid him by the hour. Then I had to clean up the area, even though it took all of my time. When I saw that my bank account amount was only $20,000, I clicked my tongue with frustration. I could be a VIP at a party just once with this money. Instead, I pay attention to what's necessary. I sat on the old couch, and I sneezed as I smelled the powder, and dirty ashes in the area. Then suddenly my phone suddenly rang, it was the electricity for the house, and they fixed it already for me. The
Elisha’s POV"I don't know, but something is out there," Kayla whispered. It scared me so much that my hand trembled. Why would I think that someone was watching me in the dark? "It was probably just a wild animal," I said."Wild animal?" laughs Kayla. "It's not the right time of year for wild animals to come to your door. Come on, let's check outside. You might be right." When we went outside, we didn't see anything. As I was about to close the door, I looked into the dark woods and saw a pair of red eyes looking at me. I gave a soft gasp because I wasn't scared, but I was a little unsure and didn't want to think about why those eyes looked so familiar. Kayla drank a glass of water and looked at me. "Are you sure you could sleep here all by yourself?" I nod my head yes and say, "Don't worry. If something bad happens, I'll call you or the cops." She put the glass on the table and said worriedly, "Okay, I guess I have to go now. Tonight, I need to see my boyfriend." She winked at
Elisha’s POVMy jaw dropped as I heard it from him. What was he think of me, a whore that he could fuck any time he wanted? I walked over to Arman with my mouth slightly parted in a sexy smile. Arman flashed me a grin, but he had no idea what was coming next; I abruptly yanked at his necktie, and he held his breath while staring at me.He held my wrist, and his gaze met my fierce eyes. He whispered, "Wild...." I drew forward so he could hear me clearly: "Go and fuck yourself, Arman." Then I let go of his necktie and swayed my hips as I was about to walk to the door, but I was startled when he grabbed my hand. The last time I remembered, he was sitting right there, and now he's behind me? How did he do that?"Arman—" I was shocked when he cupped my face, tilted his head, and smashed his lips against mine. It felt like he was trying to flatten or destroy my mouth. I could taste how wet his tongue was and how soft his lips were. It was both good and annoying because he kissed me agai
Elisha’s POVI softly gasped as I stared at him so hard I wanted to touch him, but he had a hard time calming down and keeping his eyes on the road while driving. I'm not sure where we're going, but I know he was trying to get away from the guys who were after us. He then drove quickly through the forest until we reached the small house in the woods. It was pretty empty outside, but when he looked at me, he smiled softly with the pain of controlling himself, "Please, come inside.” My fear was overwhelming, yet I had no choice but to follow him inside. I strolled by as he opened the door; inside was a queen-size bed, and the room didn't look too dirty or rundown. After a while of silence and suffering in silence, he replied, "I....I come here from time to time when I feel so nice to be alone." I looked at him briefly, put my hair behind my ears, took a deep breath, and asked, "Why are you in pain? I---I don't understand." Sweat trickled down his temple as he muttered lowly. "There i
Elisha’s POVGut-wrenching sobs that tore through my chest as I started to recognize the old woman walking towards me with a pitty smile on her face. Her body was covered in bruises and scars inflicted by my nasty biological father. Kaiser gave me a sweet smile, and I smiled back at him, then Arman took him from me. Arman kissed our baby’s forehead and whispered to my ear, “Go, greet your mom….”I can’t believe that I’ll be able to meet her in this surprising situation, and I couldn’t help but slowly wipe my tears away. Cole smiled at me warmly, and Steffina and Farkas were staring at me, walking towards my mom, and they were overwhelmed. “Are….Are you Elisha? Are you my daughter?” she asked while her hands were trembling, touching the side of my face. I nodded my head while crying in front of her, and whispered, “I—I’m your daughter….I am.” I took a deep breath and hugged her fragile body because she was so thin, looked malnourished, and her body was shaking. I grabbed Arman’s coa
Elisha’s POVLooking up at the sky with hot tears running down my face, I asked myself, "Why is this happening to me? That my little baby wasn't even here with me." There isn't even a scent in here that would help me find them. "Cole?! Nancy! Where are you guys? We're already here..." I took a step back as fear and a lot of questions filled my mind. At that moment, all I could think about was my son. To hug him, feel his little feet on my face, and smell his sweet scent. I miss him so much that I couldn't hold back the tears that kept falling from my melancholy eyes.Arman looked around and tried to step inside the ruined Villa, and he found nothing but all the dead bodies of his men and other hybrids. We both stared at each other with worry, and he shook his head, “Elisha, I can’t find them. Maybe we should look more….maybe they left.” I nodded my head, and Arman came towards me, and cupped my face, slowly wiping my tears, and said, “We are going to find them, okay? Just don’t lo
Elisha’s POV“Arman….” I called his name, and Steffina stood up as she finally healed from her broken ribs. She carries me to the top floor when all of the doors automatically open. She said, “What we need to do right now is to escape this place, you know what will happen if we don't! This place will explode in five minutes. We gotta go, Elisha.” I gulped hard, and cried softly, “What will happen to them? How about Arman and Farkas?” She held my hand, “They are going to be fine, my worry is you….you look like you’re dying! We gotta jump now!” I took a deep breath in and looked down in fear. She looked at me and said, "Don't tell me you're afraid of falling. Don't worry, I got you." We jumped together, she grabbed my hand, and I muttered, "Damn! I don't wanna die!" She said, "No, but hold my hand when we get to the ground." I closed my eyes, and the harsh effect of gravity made us both roll around on the ground so painfully. I thought I had died, but I'm still alive. Marcus got o
Arman’s POVThe scream of Elisha echoed through the building as I was in the midst of a fight with Lazaro, who had gone to the top floor looking for an exit. So I stopped chasing Lazaro, and he laughed, "Would you want to lose your mate just to kill me? Hey, kid. You need to save her! and let me fucking go!" Are you sure you can get away from me? Lazaro, no. There is no way out. That's right, I have the key to this building!" Lazaro's expression turned pale.I stopped and jumped up and down every floor to find Elisha. On the last floor, I saw her gasping for air as Jake tried to choke her to death. Jake was on top of her while she was on the floor and could no longer move. In a fit of rage, I leaped behind Jake and gave him a swift spin of the neck. When he opened his eyes in shock, I opened my palm and used all my effort to sever his head from his body, then kicked his lifeless body away from Elisha.I heard Elisha coughing in pain, and when I looked at her, I realized that she had
Elisha’s POVI let out a scream of agony as I strained to bear the pain. Steffina extracted all the golden bullets from my flesh with her fangs and her bare hands. I shook in pain, and all I could see was hazy pixels."Don't sleep, just bear the pain!" she whispered. "You'll lose yourself if you sleep..." She smiled at me and took the last bullet inside. "You'll be fine in a few hours, but we still need to get out of here, and take you to the hospital." I stood up, "I'm not leaving this place without Arman." As she helped me walk down the hall, I opened my mouth to breathe properly and quietly cried. The second time we took the elevator, I put my hand on hers and said, "Thank you." She smiled at me, and hugged me. “Everything is going to be fine, Elisha….Baby Kaiser is waiting for you. You need to stay strong.” The elevator opened to the top floor, but we didn't see anyone there. I said, "Just find Farkas, and I'm going to find Arman." Steffina was hesitant, but I held her hand,
Elisha’s POVAs I screamed in fear, everyone stumbled and involuntarily threw themselves against every wall in the room. Everything broke, even mirrors and glasses. Steffina looked at me blankly while she put her hands over her ears. She grabbed my arm and said, "Let's go find them." We both run upstairs as we take our way going to the lift, but someone behind us chases us. “Run as fast as you can Elisha….” I wasn't aware that I had an open wound on the side of my stomach, which is why I felt a little weak. It would take too long to heal, because the freak who tried to kill me was a hybrid, not a human. I put a pressure on my stomach, and breathed heavily, and Steffina still grabbed my hand as we arrived at the elevator. We pressed the button going to the last floor, and the hybrid who chased us almost stepped in, but I broke his arm, and he yelled in pain as he lost his left arm. I closed my eyes and sat on the floor, "Fuck...Where have you been, Steffina? How did you get into th
Elisha’s POVArman grabbed Jake by the collar and lifted him above the roof. Madeline tried to help Jake, but I grabbed her legs, spun her twice, and threw her outside the restaurant. Every door and window in the hotel was locked, and she knew there was no way to outrun death."You're stuck in here, Madeline." She stepped back and punched the wall to create a massive hall to another room, and she ran to another room while I was chasing her. She stopped for a moment and showed me her fangs. “Elisha! I have no idea that you can outsmart me, so come here, and let’s end this!” "Oh," I said, shaking my head. You have taught me that you cannot fool me twice, so thank you." When she fired the trigger, I dove for cover, dodging the few shots that were headed my way. When she ran out of bullets, she threw the gun and attacked me, trying to scratch my face.“You don’t deserve a life, Elisha! You better die! Die! Die! Die!” I screamed at her, “And you deserved another scratch, Madeline.” I ga
Elisha’s POVSophia laughed hysterically, grabbed my hand, and whispered, "She's alive, like me...There is life after death." To me, it sounds like she's not Sophia anymore. I stomped on her foot and yanked on her arm to throw her. She snarled at me, and her eyes widened when I approached her and kicked her in the face.After she let out a piercing cry of pain, I took a few steps back, at which point she regained her composure, stood up tall, and gazed at me with a grin. She summoned the air with her strength to control the situation, drew her sword, and pointed it at me. Do you think I'm scary, Elisha? We're sisters, right?" she asked as she came over to me without shielding her eyes. While running as fast as she could, she aimed her sharp sword straight at me, but I dodged out of the way and threw a chair at her. And when I looked around, I saw that the blood had spread out and mixed together on the floor. The hotel's employees—the waiters, the cooks—gave their lives for this figh
Elisha’s POVAs the night fell, we waited for Lazaro and his team to show up. I was getting so scared about what would happen. Everyone is already in their position, and we are anticipating what will take place later tonight. I inhaled deeply and then exhaled as I continued to monitor the forest and all of the guards standing outside.We looked at each other, and I could feel Arman's excitement as he looked forward to seeing all the traitors tonight. I fix his tie and look deeply into his eyes. I fear losing this man, but I trust that he knows what he's doing. We locked our hands together, and I smiled at him, and said, “We can do it.” “Yes,” Farkas was already sharpening his claws as he waited for the front door to open. I let out a deep breath and sighed. I could really feel them coming, and they were already standing in front of the entrance door.My pupils dilated, and the staff member at the front desk opened the door. Lazaro stood there like a real devil, smiling in a mean wa
