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
Katherine PovRight in queue, as if to have heard what was being said in the room, the entrance door once again swung open, revealing three figures. At first I did not recognize who they were but eventually after realising it, fear once again gripped me and I felt my heart drop for a split moment. "No." I gasped out as goosebumps gathered the foreskin of my arm. Jude, Jade and Dorcas had walked in. I couldn’t find Lily and I almost believed they hadn’t found her yet. But I concluded that they must have sent her back to the pack. Jude, Jade, and Dorcas being there was a surprise. Them willingly putting themselves in danger for me felt kind of unnecessary, especially because I knew I was the reason things were risky.Part of me wished they had just let me deal with the situation on my own. I've always figured out how to handle things, and their involvement seemed to make things more complicated."Welcome!" Lilith cheered, swinging her arms as they walked in.Jude and Jade's eyes wer
Katherine povThe place reeked of blood , it was covered in it too, there blood everywhere, along with dead bodies. Did I do all this? Am I a monster?It was quiet, I could hear noise but from a distance. I heard people yell and scream. Nothing seemed to make sense to me. I looked down at my paws to see how they were covered in blood. Paws?What the fuck is going on?My breathing was heavy and fast, and the adrenaline rush made me feel dizzy for a while. I began to make myself think properly, to remember and to understand why everything was in commotion. …..I stood frozen, my senses overwhelmed by the nightmarish scene unfolding before me. In the scary aftermath of watching Casto do something really bad, fear grabbed my heart, making me shiver. I felt panicky as I faced the chilling truth that Brenda, my friend, was lying on the ground, hurt for no reason.The growing red pool beneath Brenda sparked a surge of intense anger in me. It was like a boiling rage, turning my initial
JUDE PovFrey.Katherine finally regained her wolf and the first thing it did was to lose control and kill everyone and anyone. I wouldn't blame her, she looked and sounded like she had enough hatred for Casto to last them a lifetime. Knowing we had an upper hand due to Katherine’s new form ensured that we were going to be safe but if we didn’t take it to our advantage, the vampires were definitely going to get the best of us soon. Jade had yelled out her name often but she chose to ignore it. A part of me wondered maybe it was because we called out the wrong name. He called out for Katherine when it was her wolf in charge. “Frey!” I yelled and she paused. She was just about to place the neck of a man in her mouth and I assumed she was ready to snap it. Fortunately she heard me speak. The anger in her pupils dilated immediately when our eyes met. “Mate,” I heard my wolf say but I ignored it. “We need to go home Frey, we have had enough for the day,” I pleaded. Her red eyes rema
