Katherine Pov"Did you really think I wouldn't have found out about this plan all along?" I frowned, crossing my arms around my chest and tapping my feet on the ground. They were not happy to see me and I was sure of that, but with how suspicious Jude and Jade had been acting recently, I knew something was wrong somewhere. These three believed they could just sneak in and out of the vampire kingdom to take Lily. Risking the life of both alphas and the safety of every other pack member. It was the dumbest idea. Following them was also another dumb idea from me, but there was not much I could do at an abrupt time like that. Dorcas had said earlier on that it took ten seconds for the portal she created to finally close up. Jumping in at dire moments was the best option I had."Dorcas, we're sending her back. She cannot be here," Jude pointed out, grabbing me by my upper arm and leading me towards Dorcas. "We can't, I can only take us here and back once." She sighed. As I stepped t
Lily povHuddled in a cold corner of the dungeon, feeling really hungry, I couldn’t escape the heavy silence that had been around me for more than 24 hours. The chilly air made me shiver, a cruel reminder that I was stuck here.I tried to catch a rat to ease my growling stomach, but I just got weaker, struggling against the hunger pains. My once lively spirit felt dimmed, and my attempts to keep some dignity were useless in this tough situation. My hair, usually tidy, now stuck to my forehead in a messy tangle, reflecting the disorder around me. The smell of my unwashed body lingered, a harsh reminder of how things had gotten.Loneliness pressed down on me like a heavy weight. The silence was only broken by the occasional sound of rodents scurrying around, my only buddies in this cold, lonely space. The wolf inside me seemed to share my hunger, a quiet partner in this tough time.Lying on the hard stone floor, time felt like it blurred. The rhythmic drip of water served as a haunting
Lily PovDaryl, a boy of about twelve, had a face that radiated youthful innocence, with smooth skin and a sprinkling of freckles across his nose. His eyes, a shade of hazel, sparkled with a curiosity that seemed to reach beyond his age, holding a glimmer of understanding.His hair, a sandy blond, was neatly combed, falling in gentle waves around his face. Daryl’s features were rounded and friendly, with a smile that revealed a set of braces, adding a touch of endearing charm. Despite his neat appearance, there was an approachability about him, making him seem less like a sharply dressed figure and more like a kid you could easily strike up a conversation with.This combination of innocent features and well-groomed charm created a personable aura around Daryl, a nice vampire who appeared more interested in connecting than intimidating.I couldn't help but notice this nice scent surrounding Daryl, a far cry from the adventurous aroma lingering on my more laid-back outfit. His hair was
Katherine PovA voice shattered the silence, sending a chill down my spine. "Well, would you look at that? Look what the trap caught this time."I froze, the color draining from my face. The realization hit me like a punch to the gut – I had been caught. The fear that had been lurking in the background now took center stage, and I clutched the stick tighter, my eyes darting around for any sign of Jude or an escape route. "Just wait till Lilith sees you."My heart raced as I realized the vampires had found me. The shadows that used to hide now closed in on me, and fear surged through me. I ran through the forest, trying to escape, but the vampires were too fast.The moon above made everything look strange, showing the twisted branches and tangled bushes. I knew I couldn’t outrun the supernatural beings chasing me, but I had to try to survive.In the dark, I missed the connection I had with the wolf inside me, the instinctive force I was absent because Frey was absent and I needed it a
Lily pov"Lily,"I felt like breaking down, tears stinging my dry eyes and clouding my vision. An overly familiar voice called my name, and instinctively, I responded, "Jude."My voice was low and cracked, but it echoed in the dimly lit corridor. Suddenly, there he was – Jude, my older brother, a comforting presence in the darkness.Without thinking, I rushed into his arms. His familiar smell brought me comfort, and I felt safe knowing he had come to rescue me.Jude's arms held me close, like a shield against the scary things that haunted me. In that moment, it was just us, and the worries of the dungeon faded away. Time seemed to stand still as I clung to him, grateful for my brother's protection.As my sobs lessened, I pulled back to look into Jude's eyes. He looked worried, but there was also strength and determination. He promised, "Lily, we're getting you out of here."“We?” My brows furrowed. “Yeah, come on.” Jude insisted, pulling me through the exit door. He looked down at m
Katherine povThey were waiting, we were all waiting. The so-called Lilith was in some meeting with important people, this was what one of the vampires who he captured me had said. Wherever it is they had taken me was big because every sound they made had an echo to back it up. Running away again was not the best idea so I just knelt down in my position, keeping my eyes open for the perfect opportunity to take action. “This better be good,” a feminine voice said. I heard footsteps from a distance, drawing closer with every step. It sounded like the female was on heels as with how fast the steps were, I could tell she was good with her shoes. She definitely had to be Lilith. “You’re going to love it my queen,” a man replied to her, following her steps as she briskly walked to me. Then the veil was removed from my head.The room finally came into view, along with everyone in it. There was a lady with a slander stature in front of me, I looked down at her legs to see she had red hee
Jude PovI felt like a storm was tearing through me, way more than just anger. Lily slowly explained how Brenda had betrayed us by teaming up with vampires. Each word hit me hard, making the environment feel heavy with Brenda's actions.Our once safe space now felt tense as I tried to understand everything. The air seemed thick, and the flickering light created eerie shadows on the walls, showing how messed up things had become in our pack.My anger got stronger, and you could see it in the way I clenched my fists and tightened my jaw. The trust we once had was broken, and bits of that strong bond now scattered across the emotions of our pack.Brenda's betrayal hurt deep, affecting everyone in our pack. Lily explained that Brenda envied me and Jade being mated to Katherine, making everything even more complicated. The air tasted bitter with betrayal, and the smell of broken alliances lingered.The surrounding seemed to soak in the seriousness of the situation, witnessing our relations
Katherine povThe room felt like it was holding its breath, waiting for something. The person's presence stirred up strong feelings, like I was a deer caught in the headlights, unable to escape what was coming.In that strange moment, the room turned into an emotional battleground. My heartbeats matched the fear and uncertainty in the air. I couldn't look away from the person, showing both fear and defiance. It was like a setup for a big confrontation, and their presence made everything even more complicated."Casto."“As I live and breathe,” his mischievous smirk plastered on his face. My heart thumped fast in my chest and I felt so nauseous that I believed I would vomit if I heard him speak again. My heart pounded in my chest as Casto strolled into the room, and horror washed over me. He hadn’t changed a bit, and the memories of what he was and the terrible things he had done flooded back. Fear seized me, freezing me in place, and my eyes widened with the chilling realization of h
