Elisha’s POV “Jake, I really have to go.” Jake gave me a disapproving look and shook his head. "You know that I despise your mate, but I like you...I don't want to see you in discomfort or crying over anything that is making your life a living hell because I don't want that for you. I can help you, Elisha…." I bit my lower lip trying not to cry in front of him, “Really? You will do that for me?” “Y-Yes….” He smiled at me and held my hand as we exited the hospital. "Where are we going then? I'm sure that Madeline would hurt my family if she knew this." I was so scared when I thought about what Madeline could do. If she got mad, she could take away all the love in my life in just one second, and I don't want that to happen. I stopped walking and looked at Jake. "Jake, I think I can't do this." Jake let out a big sigh and asked, "Why are you so afraid of Madeline? I'm also a Lycan, I can protect you from her." "She'll hurt my family, and who knows if she's watching me right n
Arman’s POV“Arman….” I heard a soft voice, but it was not Elisha. It was Madeline, she was caressing my face as she was leaning her head, smiling softly at me. “How are you feeling right now?” I closed my eyes, squeezed it, and asked in a raspy voice, “Where am I?” I recalled that I was bound in a silver chain and held captive in an empty room brimming with electricity; they attempted to murder me by electrifying me continuously. Because I was so exhausted, all I could think of was Elisha.I just heard that she was yelling for help on an audio recording, so I thought Oliver's men had her. I was so stupid to believe that, so Oliver was able to catch me quickly. I just discovered that Oliver's family is an expert at finding Lycans. I was so careless that I thought I could escape them, but they took me in. I was so scared that I might discover Elisha in an empty basement, but it turned out they tricked me!"Where is Elisha?! Where is she?!!!!" I snarled in anger, and my voice rang th
Arman’s POVMadeline's face went back to normal after she blinked her eyes and laughed like a madwoman. "Fuck! Why should I be scared? What really happened to Elisha is just too much for me to take in. I never thought that she would be in a plane crash!" I wanted to slap her face, and my mom stopped me again, “Arman! We have to go now. You don’t have to hurt Madeline, it just a waste of time.” "Mom,are you protecting this woman? Tell me, do you know something you don't want me to know?" When I thoughtfully asked my mom, she just sighed and looked at Madeline. Then she said, "Nothing, I don't know anything. All I know is that your wife just left the Villa without telling me why. I thought it would be better for her to leave, but I was so sad that she died so quickly because of it!" "Elisha won't leave without providing any reason especially I was out there fighting for my life to live!" When I yelled at them, they were immediately rendered speechless and turned their look away from
Elisha’s POVAfter I touched my face, the nurse told me, "Don't worry, you will have surgery in the next few days, and the doctor who works at this hospital will cover all of your expenses." I sighed deeply and asked myself, "Why was he helping me?" I only recently became aware that I have facial injuries, and it appeared that I had never recognized my face in the past. The nurse fixed my IV and said, "His goal this year was to help people like you. Excuse me, I gotta go. I've got more to do." I am trying to remember my name and what happened right before I got here.I looked out the window and saw trees and flowers surrounding the sad and lonely hospital. I got out of bed but quickly realized I was too weak to take even a single step, so I went back to sleep. Perhaps if I close my eyes, I can recall this better. And yet, it's not. I have no recollection of anything, not even the vague figure of a man that crossed my thoughts a few times. *****************THREE MONTHS LATER"O
Elisha’s POVThe angry roar stopped before Granny Pearl went outside, so I never heard it again, and we both staring at each other with curiosity. She said, “I’ll be back.” Suddenly, there was complete silence, and I could listen to nothing. I held my breath when Jake grabbed my arm. When I turned around, he was standing there. Jake's hair was tangled, and he was softly breathing as he tried to stay calm. He looked away, his eyes lit up a little, and he asked, "What are you doing? Stay away from that window." I moved away innocently, looking confused. “Why?” He said something right away. "That window is getting old and should be replaced." I slowly nod my head with a lot of confusion, but I also have many questions I want him to answer. But he wasn't doing well today and had a lot going on. I gave him a shy smile and took a step back. "Uh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that I shouldn't touch that window." He sighed, “And…you don’t have to open it again, even if we have a visitor here
Elisha’s POVI grunt because I feel like something behind me in my upper back is starting to hurt again. Since day one, I've had this pain, and I don't know what it is. Because when I looked in the mirror, I didn't see anything, and even the doctors at the hospital told me that there was nothing wrong with my left upper back. I look at my upper back in the mirror. Suddenly, I jumped in shock when I saw something sparkling above the skin of my upper back. It looked like a bite mark. I softly gasped and looked again, but I didn't see anything. Then, someone knocked on my door, and I was too stunned to say anything. Jake cracked open the door and saw me looking at myself in the mirror. He couldn't believe what he saw. He saw the lightning bite mark on my upper back, and I asked him, "Do you see what I see? I'm not having a dream, right?"He took a deep breath, dropped his head, and looked at my upper back. "No, It was just a small scratch. Did you scratch your back?" I gave him a puzz
Elisha’s POVWhen I heard a deep voice outside, I slowly turned my head. He was really desperate to see me. I could hear him yelling my name from everywhere in the room, and Jake grabbed my hand and said, "We need to hide yourself." "Hide?" I wrinkled my forehead in confusion. "Why should I hide?" Granny Pearl went outside, and she screamed angrily at the man. "She's not here!" The man said desperately, "I know she's here. Bring her back to me." Jake tightly held my hand and put me inside the room, "Don't go outside; remember, that man out there is dangerous." I heard another growl outside, and when I looked, I saw that it was Bert yelling at the strange man. I didn't listen to Jake, so I ran out to see what was happening. I looked over and saw Bert's neck being ripped open with the man's bare hands, and my heart sank in fear.I softly gasped as I stared at the man, and he slowly turned his head to look at me. He put Bert down right away, and he ran and jumped up the stairs to b
Elisha’s POVWhile we were on the bumpy road, I couldn't take my eyes off of him. Sometimes, I looked at him when he wasn't looking at me, and when he looked at me, I quickly looked away to avoid his gaze. I have no idea where to look. I felt his hot gaze in the corner of my right eye, making my heart beat fast. I gave a soft gasp and turned my attention back to the road. I didn't look at him again. Honestly, I'm really screwed up, and I don't know what's wrong with my life. I feel trapped in a place where I don't even know who I am. I nervously bit on my lower lip as the car stopped in front of a massive gate made of metal and something heavy, wondering what this man would do to me if he ever got the chance.The man sitting next to me looked like he didn’t know what to do, but he stepped outside and turned around to open the car’s door for me, but I opened it myself. He stared at me, and his eyes were filled with admiration and hope. I blinked in bafflement and exited the car witho
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
