Christine's POVMy eyebrow knitted in confusion as I stared at him. I didn't know where the courage I got came from. I stood up from where I was, peering my eyes at him, without showing a single atom of fear. It was as if all my fear left the moment he said I should bring Mirabel to him.“What do you mean by that?"There was a lady there who spoke up. I didn't even realize her the first time I walked into the room.“It's okay" she smiled at me as she walked towards me, but her smile didn't make me trust her a bit. “We are family now, you don't have to act so tensely"“Families don't kidnap its members." I glared at her. “We are not family"She turned to look at the man who appeared to be the leader of the supposed cult. They all looked creepy. The most normal looking one was Jace. He was less distorted.“When last did you feed, you look sick" one of the men asked. He had very dark hair with the palest skin of all of them."I am not one of you. I am not a monster”Jace gave off his sig
We stood side by side and he spoke. “When that man gets closer, you'll attack him" he blurted out and I looked at him like he had lost his mind“Are you joking?" I nudged him from the side, but he didn't look like he was joking.“If you don't do it, I will" “Is this the food you talked about?"“What were you expecting, pizza and ice cream," he asked and I rolled my eye at him.I folded my arms. “I'm not doing” I stood my ground. He couldn't tell me what to do.“Even if you don't do it now, you are likely going to do it later on. Anyway, he's getting away" Jace said and before I could say a word, he was gone.My heart skipped a beat as I turned to look at the man who was filling his car with petrol. I knew he was going to be attacked by Jace at any moment. I wanted to stop Jace, but the problem was, I didn't know where he was. I panicked and thought of entering the car and driving out of there as soon as possible. But I knew Jace had the capability of going after a fast car. He was g
Kira's POVI clutched my book to my chest as I walked like my life was over. I didn't care if people stared at me. I didn't just see the need to hide my misery. Austin had ghosted for a whole day since he found out I was his mate. He probably couldn't come to terms with me being his mate. I couldn't tell if it was his ego or if he was scared of something. Whichever it was, I wished he would tell me to my face once and for all, and I'd just move on with my life.Speaking of the devil, Austin was right in front of me, approaching me, but I didn't act like I saw him. I wanted to walk past him but he held me back. His eyes were soft almost as if he was pleading with me to listen to what he had to say.I wanted to ignore him, but Anabelle was as stubborn as me. “What is it Austin?" I asked with a casual demeanor when in a real sense, I was dying on the inside.“I want to talk to you" he sounded too demanding, I hated it. “You are speaking to me now"“Not here, can we..."I didn't let him
Kira POVAs much as I wanted to walk to where she was and yank her forcefully by the hair, I didn't. I was already exhausted from the day's stress. I got into my car and started it, but it chose to act up again. I was truly frustrated. It was the fourth time, it was putting up an act.I got down from the car and looked around. I would have called Christine to give me a ride, but I couldn't stand her. I knew she couldn't stand it either. Austin would be willing to give me a ride, but that would mean I had also forgiven him for what he did.I was about to grab my phone to call Ken, but I saw him. He wasn't alone. He wasn't with the devil himself_Xavier.I felt sick to the match just at the sight of him. Why did have to be with Ken when I needed him? I didn't want Xavier around me because I couldn't stop blaming him for Christine's sudden change of attitude. I didn't know what he had done to her to make her hate me so much. Probably he gave her a kind of vampire portion that made her lik
Ken's POV“So I got my wolf recently” I heard her say and I almost didn't believe it because it was impossible. A human couldn't become a werewolf overnight. Except there was some authenticity in her story after all. “ Is that possible?" I had to ask because the scenario was truly confusing. I couldn't just wake up one morning and become a wizard. “I got it yesterday” She added even without me asking her. I suddenly remembered how different she looked that day. Her eyes looked wild in both desperation and hunger.I remember how my wolf was immediately restless at the sight of her. He didn't act angry as he had always been around her instead he was uncontrollable. There was this smell around her and it almost drove me insane. I had never experienced something like that before. I didn't say anything because I still found it hard to believe.“I know it's crazy, but I'm glad Selene chose to free me from part of the torture she out me in" she addedIt then occurred to me that if she did
Christine's POV“You don't expect me to sacrifice my friend to him, do you?“ I snapped at Jace who was persistent about me bringing Mirabel to Marcus. “I don't owe you guys anything" I added with the grimace of irritation not leaving my face. I wanted him to see how angry I was and he would probably let me beIf the door wasn't locked, I knew I wouldn't be having this conversation with him. Probably he thought I belonged to his secret cult of bloodsuckers just because I fed on a dead man.“You do realize you can't tell Marcus that?" he asked and I rolled my eyes at him. At that point, I pretty much didn't fear anyone. I didn't care if Marcus was the most dangerous vampire in LA, I wasn't going to bow to anyone. “He doesn't own me, so I don't have to speak with him. Besides, I don't even speak with her anymore, so it's going to be hard to do that"“Well since you don't feel attached to her anymore, that'll make things easier for us wouldn't it?". Jace suggested. “I am not doing it" I
Kira's POV.I didn't know if I should cry or I shouldn't. I felt numb at that point, not sure of what to do. One of my mates had just rejected me and the other was still trying to come to terms with me being his mate.I couldn't understand why it happened. Was that undesirable? I asked myself. At that point, I considered myself mateless. How was I going to carry with my life. This wasn't something one could leave with. Rejection was the worse thing you could do to a desperate wolf.I got home that day exhausted as hell. I should have called one of the driver to pick me up rather than Ken who found a way of ruining the day for me. I dragged my feet up the stairs. Rebecca wasn't home and I didn't see Fay either and I was grateful for the quietness the house had.The moment I stepped foot into my room, I broke down into tears. I couldn't hold it anymore. I cried my eyes out. Tears flowed down my cheeks with reckless abandon. I didn't know how to stop because each time I thought of Ken or
“You bloody liar!“ I yelled in rage."You did something to me"I was angry, but he didn't look impressed. He wanted me to try harder. One thing was certain, he wasn't going to let me go. He brought me here for a reason, but I didn't know what it was.“You can't hold me here" I snapped at him.“I already am" he shrugged. The way he acted so confident made me wonder if he wasn't concerned that I was going to try and bolt off.Speaking of bolting, that was exactly what I planned on doing. The door was wide open. If I was swift enough, I would make it out of the room. I didn't care how big the house was, I had a feeling if I was able to get past him, I was going to make it out of the house.“You must have taken me for something" I spoke slowly, trying to calculate my way out of the house.“True. You are smart after all" the moment the last statement left his lips, I bolted off. I ran out of the room into the passageway. It took me about 2 minutes of running hard to realize I wasn't being c
FinaleThe next morning I woke up to a text from Christine that read; “come online” I still had a lot of sleep in my eyes, but when I was able to check why she told me to come online, the sleep left my eyes. It felt as though I was dreaming, but I wasn’t. Behold, behind my screen was my older self and there was a caption that said missing.What the actual fuck? I asked myself. The last time I checked, I didn’t exist anymore, so there was no was no way someone who didn’t exist was declared missing.I called Christine again because it wasn’t adding at all. The worse thing was, it was all over the internet. They said I had been missing for 6 months and that was the duration in which I had lived in my new body.“Did you see the girl? Remember her right? She asked even before I had the chance to and that only succeeded in adding to my confusion.“Remember? Christine you were the one who said you didn’t know this girl” I remembered vividly when I asked her the first time I happened to find
The other half of me My leg was placed on the edge of the window, ready to jump out when I heard a beep from my phone and I stopped. I brought it out from where I kept it firmly in my pockets and answered the call. it was from Christine. “Mirabel” she called out the moment I answered the call. “ken is awake,” she said and my heart skipped a beat. What the fuck did she say. How was that even possible? I asked myself. Well, there was only one way for me to find out. I ended the call and was about to jump down from my window once more when the door to my room suddenly opened. My mind jumped out of my body, but it calmed down when I realize it was just Rebecca, but it picked up pace when I realize I was about to do something that she had warned me not to do. “what are you doing?” she asked and I knew it was already late. If I wanted to see ken, I had to make up my mind to go against her. “I’m sorry mum,” I said and jumped down and landed perfectly from a building as high as that with
Kira’s POV“I have to tell you something” I said to Christine, but didn’t realize I was yelling. She almost choked on the cigarette between her lips.“What the fuck Kira” she frowned at me, but I didn’t care. I was desperate at that point.“I need to tell you something” I repeated like she hadn’t heard me the first time. How desperate was I. but why I wouldn’t when I got the news of me leaving this body? I needed to let her know incise me bumped into her in my next life, she wouldn’t see me as a freak.I looked around to see if there was anyone lurking around because I was most definitely going to be called a freak if they heard what I was about to say. I was certain Christine was going to think of me the same way, but I had to tell her.“I am right here” the frown on her face hardened and I had to mutter a little sorry to make her be less mad at me for almost killing her seconds ago.“I am living this body” I said in the lowest tone possible” I said, but the look on her face didn’t c
Chapter 100I boiled in rage as I ran to where Xavier was. He could hear me calling but he chose to play deaf and pretend I was important at all and it pissed me off.I tapped him hard on the shoulder when I got to where he was and he turned to look at me in frustration. “Don’t you dare look at me like that? I am the one who has the right to be angry” I said and he rolled his eyes at me as though I was the one who had the problem. He was the one trying to take my mate away from me.“you can't tell me how to look at you” he shot at me. true, but there was countless way he didn’t have to act like a jerk. Why did he have to be so mean all the time, like I was the cause of his many problems?Where are you taking ken to?” I asked he replied plainly and tried to walk inside the car, but I stopped him by holding his hand. He turned to look at me with a lot of disgust in his eyes.“do you seem to realize you have no right to be a part of his life anymore,e,” he said and I scoffed.What
Chapter 99 “hey you” my feet went as fast as they could at the sight of the witch. I totally forgot I had to follow Christine home at the sight of her and I started chasing after her instead. The sound of shuffling footsteps gave me the clue that Christine was just behind me running as well. “Hey!” I knew she could hear me because she wasn’t deaf and had no earphone plugged in, but she kept walking as though she didn’t know I was talking to her. Why did she have to be a bitch all the time_ the kind that knew the perfect way to get me mad I increased my speed and surprisingly that bitch increased her speed? Before I knew it, she was running and I knew I would be damned if I let her run off like that. I and Christine also increased our speed. “Hey stop!” I yelled. It would have been better if I at least knew her name, but I didn’t and that made it weird for me. She kept running until she got into the school female’s toilet and she ran in. “what the actual fuck” said Christine who w
Chapter 98I didn’t sleep a wink at night. Apart from the fact I was angry at the witch for playing with me the previous day. I couldn’t also sleep due to the strong migraine I developed due the beating I received from Bella. I shouldn’t have concluded that I was any match for her.“Oh my God what happened to your face?” I heard a voice and I turned to look at Christine. I had no idea I had walked past her. My mind was only fixed on one person and that was the witch who I didn’t know her name.And yes, I had forgotten to put makeup on my face because I didn’t see the point. Life was almost meaningless because ken wasn’t there.“I got into a fight” I could tell from how her eyes widened that she was surprised. Yes I wasn’t the type to get into a fight, but with the overwhelming frustration and unvented anger, it was hard not lose my mind over a slight provocation.“What the actual fuck” she let out.“Ken’s sister” I let out a distressed air. “That bitch thinks I am the reason he didn’t
Chapter 97Bella’s POVIt was hours since I woke up and I hadn’t moved an inch from my bed. Life made no sense to me anymore. It felt as though I should lay in my bed forever and wallow in my misery for eternity. Maybe that way, I will be closer to my brother who was not awake anymore. I tossed to the other side of my bed as I heard a buzz from my phone. It was no doubt from Xavier. He was probably calling to check if I was still breathing.I ignored the text at first but when I became too much, I groaned in frustration as I tossed to pick it up. “Bella for fuck sake, if you won’t take my call, at least reply my text” he said and I rolled my eyes. Did he expect me to be okay when I had a brother that was prone to be lifeless for almost 20 years or even more?The moment I tossed my phone to the bed in anger, I heard it ring by my side. “Fuck you Xavier” I groaned in frustration, but didn’t ignore the call this time. I knew he was going to keep calling me until I finally took the call,
Chapter 96I turned to leave but he didn’t let me. He pulled me back to look at him. At that point, my cheeks where soaked in tears. I didn’t wipe it off before the sped he used to pull me back deterred me from doing so. His eyes softened the more when he noticed I was crying.“Do you realize how worried I was about you” he asked and I just sobbed. Not caring if we were being stared at. “I went to your house several times and your mother wouldn’t even let me see you”I placed my hand on my head as I sighed. Poor woman. She must have gone through a lot. Now I was planning of leaving her again. No wonder there was a lot of hurt in her eyes as she yelled at me. “She was just scared” I blurted out.“So where did you go Mirabel” he asked more worriedly because I wouldn’t give him a reply.“Can we talk outside instead? I am not comfortable with these stares” I said and I noticed how reluctant he was. Almost as though he didn’t trust me enough to stay put and have a conversation with him out
Kira’s pov“I am not coming to your boyfriend’s house” I made it clear to Christine over the phone.“Jace is not my boyfriend” she defended herself.“Oh that’s his name. Well whatever he is to you, I am not coming to that house” I said with all seriousness, but she ended up chuckling. It wasn’t as though I hated him. He just had a way of making me feel so uncomfortable. His eyes held a lot of hatred each time he gave up at me and I couldn’t help but wonder why Christine saving me pissed him off so much.“He is not home and he not coming back anytime soon, so you have nothing to worry about” she assured him.“I am not just not comfortable with him around” I said truthfully.“He is not always like this, inside he is just a cute bunny” she said and I rolled my eyes.“I knew you’d say something like that. Anyway imp almost there”“Alright” she hung up the call.After about 5 minutes, I was already at Christine’s house. I packed my car by the road side and made it across the street.Standi
