Ethan's P.O.VI noticed the undeniable shock on Isabella's face when Mila appeared at the door. I heard her gasp in surprise and her hand unconsciously gripped mine. My own eyes narrowed apprehensively at the figure of the approaching demon, Mila. As for myself I had been warned about her presence already and I did what I could, to hold back myself from attacking her at that very instant."Ethan... Mila you..." Isabella struggled with words beside me."It's alright Isabella." I whispered to her, squeezing her hand softly in the process. "It's gonna be alright dear. I've got this." I assured her.Mila moved up and took a seat at the table where she sat opposite me, beside my uncle. Her face wore that devious grin like a second skin and I struggled with the urge to reach out and choke the grin off her face but I stayed put, with my own eyes boring into hers."I've taken the liberty of inviting Mila here." My uncle continued. "This is the annual get-together o f the blood moons and It w
Ethan's P.O.VMy ears were ringing loudly by the sound and for a moment, all that was around was just a mess of limbs as everyone was entangled together on the floor where we were thrown by the impact of the explosive.I got up and quickly turned towards the shattered door. About five men were making their way into the room swiftly with long blades in thier hand. Even among the chaos, I could perceive the scent of moon lace on their blades. These men were not here just to have a chat with us, they meant business, to kill and to destroy.As I watched, one of the pack guards in the house with us stumbled forward to intercept the intruders. The assassins moved with relative ease and their movements were swift and precise. Our pack guard soon collapsed, never to rise again.My eyes quickly went to Mila who was struggling to rise too. Her face registered the same surprise and shock that was on everyone else' face. If this was a game she was playing on the rest of us, she was playing well
Isabella's P.O.VI had never seen Ethan so angry before. The first time I saw something close to this was with the arrival of Emily. The anger that coursed through him now was beyond what I saw back then. He was especially mad at his uncle whom he blamed for what happened there at the get-together. One minute we were all having a strained and forced get-together and then the next minute we were attacked. The men who attacked us were very skilled and I had a feeling if not for Ethan, we wouldn't have been alive by the time the pack guards finally overpowered them. Emily probably had heard about the commotion from the infirmary which doubled as her prison and as much as she was still recovering from her wounds, she came to help immediately and now she lay there in a pool of her own blood with fresh cuts on her body. I knew these wounds would not be healing soon because of the same stuff that had prevented her from healing quickly from her previous wounds. Her eyes were tightly shut a
Isabella's P.O.VMy heart jumped to my throat all at once. It seemed Ethan was finally ready to address the skeletons he had hiding in his cupboard. It seemed he was finally ready to tell me what the vials were for. I waited eagerly with anxiousness trickling through my veins as Ethan began to open the chest. The initial silence that had descended on the room was interrupted all at once by a loud rap on the door. Ethan looked up, his eyes met mine and I saw frustration flashed briefly in his eyes before he quickly put the chest back into the drawer and where it belonged. "Come in." Ethan said. The door swung open immediately revealing Brian. His eyes met mine and he frowned before turning to Ethan. "Excuse me Ethan, I didn't mean to intrude." He apologized. "It's okay Brian, you weren't intruding." Ethan replied calmly. "You seem agitated. Where's the fire?" He asked. Brian flashed a questionable look in my direction. I understood at once that he probably didn't want to speak in
Ethan's P.O.VAlmost immediately Mila finished speaking, a pack guard badged in with urgency and alarm all over his face. "Alpha... Ethan..." The man stuttered breathlessly. I didn't need him to say much, I turned immediately. "Brian with me." And then I turned to the guards. "Keep an eye on her." I motioned to Mila. Together, I and Brian ran out of the dungeons and headed straight for the car packed outside. We got in immediately and Brian took the wheel, driving as fast as the car could carry us. We arrived at the infirmary and right from outside I could see the chaos that had raged on at the place. The door was broken while dead or wounded pack guards laid on the floor. I entered the infirmary and was met with an even gross sight. Some of the healers were also wounded. With a pang I remembered that Emily was brought here too. I quickly ran through wards trying to find her and luckily I did. She was in a ward far from the one that was holding the assassin and by the look of it,
Ethan's P.O.VAll eyes snapped to my direction immediately as I stepped out from my hiding place. The assassin who I had pursued up to this point stepped back in surprise. "It's him! It's Ethan!" He said in alarm. "And you foolishly led him to us." The masked man said grumply to the one handed man before turning his gaze to me. "I heard you're quite the fighter." He said. "I've heard those rumors too." I replied with a smirk. "Even if you're as good as they say, what makes you think you can take on all 12 of us?" The man asked confidently. "You've never seen me fight, son. But I watched your lot's little dance style back at the pack and I also noted that you all fought the same way. Trust me son, I'm a fast learner." I said. My ears caught steady and subtle movement behind me and judging by the smell I perceived, I could tell it wasn't foe. Oh wait, was that the pack guards? If so, what were they doing out here? I wandered. It seemed that the assassins who stood before me did
Elena's P.O.VI paced back and forth in the living room of the spacious house that had belonged to me and Logan. It's been days now since Axel had taken Logan out of the picture and since then, I haven't been able to reach him, no thanks to Ethan. I felt trapped at the pack, the pack where I was supposed to rule and to dominate as Luna. Ethan had messed all that up with his presence at the pack and the pack elders it would seem, were all eager and ready to lick Ethan's boots, the most irritating one of them was Silas Deane, that old and foolish man! But what if I were to contact the other members? The thought crossed my mind and I stopped to think it over. Yes, that was the most reasonable thing to do at the time. I would not just sit back and let Ethan hold me in one place with my tail tucked between my legs like a loyal and pious dog. Zain was the first person to cross my mind but I wasn't really sure about Zain. He seemed to be on the fence about loyalties to the pack and loyalt
Elena's P.O.VI had succeeded in recruiting Billy that day, I let him have a glimpse of what I had in mind and surprisingly, the man was in and willing to recruit more persons to our cause. With the right number of people, even the pack guards will see sense and bow to what we proposed. In all these, one thing still troubled my thoughts. Where was Axel and what had he done with Logan? I hoped silently for Axel to have the sense enough to kill Logan and dispose the body properly and at the same time I had a feeling that there was no where Axel would stash the corpse and Logan won't eventually find. I needed to seek Axel out and the followers I was gathering would be my starting point. This was where I would start. I would first of all establish my own squad with people who I could trust and then I'll be free to do whatever the hell I wanted without fearing Ethan. I slowly and carefully went around the pack sowing seeds of defiance in the heart of few men and women, I instructed Bill
