BLAKE'S POVI was shocked at my father's word and couldn't hide it one bit. I also couldn't understand why he wanted me to him in search of her instead of sending out one of his commanders. "Does he perhaps suspect me? And why can't he just let her go. It would be so nice if she isn't here anymore." I said to myself with a sulking face than I'm sure he must have noticed."Alright dad. I'll do as you say," I mutter and dashed out of the room, dragging my feet as I went. I sighed, staring into oblivion. My head turned around in search of one of the commanders who were always in sight, wanting to see my father for one reason or the other but there were none. I was a bit disappointed. It was going to be a really stressful day ahead but there was nothing I could do. I couldn't go against my father's instructions. Luckily for me, I found two soldiers standing by the side of the building, gesticulating widely like that was the job they were appointed to carry out. I was pissed and Couldn't k
KYRA'S POV I turned my head backwards and was shocked to see a man standing in front of me like he was about to hurt me. Fear gripped me as my eyes drove through the height of him. "Who are you and what do you want from me?" I queried, stuttering uncontrollably like I had stuffed my mouth with something. He had a really frightful physique such that anyone who sees him immediately develops fright."I should be asking you that question, young lady? What are you doing here or haven't you heard that this place is always filled with rogues and all?" He asked with a sarcastic grin, smacking his lips at me. I shivered, trying to process the look on his face. It aligned not a bit with the words of his mouth."I'm heading to the pack just across the mountain," I muttered in a low whispering voice, my hand shaking uncontrollably. I was in fear and all my attempts to keep calm proved abortive. "You look so beautiful…You would serve a Great purpose to me. I heard someone warm me up. It's quite
KYRA'S POV I continued to struggle with the men but for how long could I struggle against those hefty men with broad shoulders and all. A single blow from one of them would send me reeling to the floor but I didn't give a damn. I continued to struggle with them, flapping my hands and legs in the air. "What kind of girl is this?" I heard one of them say as their leader approached me and cupped one of my boobs in his hand. I felt a sharp pain flow through me as his hand fiddled with my boobs. I cursed under my breath, biting my lower lips to hold in the pain I felt."Such succulent boobs she's got!' I heard him say to the one who held my hand down. He was still toying with my boobs when I heard the thick baritone voice of a man boom through to us. "Let go of her!" He ordered in a loud voice that startled me myself. The rogue stared at him and then Burst into a long laugh. The reason for their laughter wasn't far-fetched. They found it strange that he had come all by himself and wanted
ACE'S POV I couldn't believe that I had personally waded off about half a dozen men who had wanted to assault the young lady that was laying on the floor. I stared at the long stick in my hand and patted it like it was a kind of treasure. Well you couldn't blame me much for that action of mine. It had been so helpful to me. As I was still trying to catbh my breath, i turned my head and right there she laid, unconscious. I felt weak within me as I hadn't envisaged that I would have to battek with trying to wake her up after the long fight. I lowered mys before her with sweat trickling down my brows. "Are you alright?" There was no response which was quite Strange. I placed my hand on her nose and was glad when I felt her breathing against my hand.I knew she was going to be alright but then I couldn't just stare and assume she was going to be alright. Thinking of what to do, I saw my sister approaching me with a big antelope in her hand. I grinned in excitement, glad that she was fi
BLAKE'S POVIf I was to be honest with myself, then the truth remains I was as scared as my soldiers the moment we heard that sound. The weapon of the humans isn't one that should be joked with. They are much faster than us and just a single shot from it would send us reeling to the ground, dead but still, my duty remains. If I allow my spirit drop, then what happens to the spirit of my men. I had to think of a way to build their spirits."You've got nothing to be worried about. If there's anyone that should be worried here, then it should be the Marauders. They do not have the spirit of oneness that we all have and they are not as strong as we are. A single blow from one of your hands will send them to their death…""And a Single bang from their talking Machine would send us to our death even before we get the chance to land the punch," one of them chipped in, in an antagonistic manner. I fixed my gaze on him, with my hands clenched into a fist. I was upset that he was trying to thwa
Kyra's POV"No, you can't do this to me! Please, even if it's for a while, let me stay with you." I pleaded with desperation, falling at Ace's face like he was some alpha lord. They were my only hope in that forest that's ridden with all manners of rogues and beasts. I have no weapons and neither do I have the skills. It was going to be the worst Thing to ever happen to me. I swear could feel my soul leave my body at that time as I knelt in front of him."I made up my mind already and that's final. I'm not letting you go with us!" He stood his ground in a much similar way that Blake stood his ground when he rejected me and that was the more reason it hurt.Hot tears gathered in my eyes as I stared into oblivion. I couldn't think of any other thing than the humiliation I had faced over the past few days. Here I am again, getting rejected.I could see Ace staring at me with a frown and I could guess his conscience was eating him upbut it was any better. He stood his ground with his hand
CHAPTER 15NORA'S POV I was shocked to the marrow when I heard those words from my brother and I had to glance twice to be sure he was the one speaking. "Did you mean what you just said?" I asked as I rose sharply like I had been sitting all hot lava all these. That explained why he didn't want her to come with us. Perhaps he doesn't want his feelings to develop into something promising.."Yes, I'm here already, ain't i?" He queried with a shrug, a frown laced to his brows. A loud hiss trailed from my lips and I quickly returned to sit beside kayra."What's the problem? Why do you both look gloomy? Did anything happen, or was it something you both were discussing before my arrival?" You could see how inquisitive he was and that gave me further reasons not to tell him anything even though I desperately wanted to tell him. It would feel so good to see him bask in curiosity. the thought alone gave me goosebumps.My gaze moved in kayra's direction and I saw she was about to utter some wo
KYRA'S POVI sat still listening to the both of them converse. I couldn't join in their conversation because I wasn't a part of their family and somehow, I could see through Ace's eyes and I could see his displeasure in them. He must dislike me so much already, especially now. I heaved a sigh of relief and then walked away from them. The bond between them brought back memories of my parents and how they had been murdered in cold blood. It brought tears to my eyes and even though I tried to prevent it from trickling down, it still found a way to do as it liked Nora noticed me when I rose to my feet but had said nothing until she saw the drop of teardrop to the floor. She flew up and walked towards me, wrapping her hands around me. "You've got nothing to worry about. It's going to be alright," she assured me, patting me like an elder sister would."Yeah, I know. I know it's going to be alright. It's just a matter of time…""That's good, and that's the reason why you shouldn't cry. When
CHAPTER 179RAHL'S POVIt was late at night and all was silent. I laid on my bed with my eyes to the ceiling as various thoughts ran through my mind. My eyes were filled with tears as I rolled around in search of Cindy. I had grown to love her and that a day without her felt like a nightmare to me but then I couldn't but punish her for betraying my trust and all. I wasn't one to be treated with leveity and this she knew but what she did do instead? She went on, acting like I wasn't of any importance to her. Tears gathered in my eyes and I made no attention of any such to prevent it from trickling down."Don't you think you should forgive her and continue like it never happened!" A voice said to me in a cool reserved manner and strangely, I began to see sense in it. I would have to go see her the next day. I was still speaking to myself when I Heard some loud noises from outside. It was weird for people to make so much noise at that time of the day. I had a strong feeling that all was
CHAPTER 178KYRA'S POVBlake and his men had just arrived at our pack , ready for the battle that was to take place soon. I was filled with uncertainty and couldn't get rid it it no matter how hard I tried. I wasn't worried about him or the fact that I was going to be seeing his face regularly. I was worried if we were going to win against Rahl. Rahl was really tricky and there was no way to tell exactly what he had in plans. True, we have the advantage of the human weapon on our side but what if he has them as well? That would be catastrophic as well. We only have a little supply of it to go round a few men so I knew what I was talking about. I was still lost in my thoughts when I heard the voice of Someone from behind. I turned and right there was Blake, his hands clasped to his side. I wasn't entirely pleased with the fact that he had come to meet me there but I wasn't going to ask him to leave as well. I had to stay there and listen to Whatever it was he had to say."And what both
CHAPTER 177CINDY'S POVMy world and Everything I had worked so hard for came crumbling on me and there was nothing I could do about it. I was helpless to the core with tears trickling down my face in large torrents. It was a dark room and the only thing I could see was the mirror of myself. I Wanted to speak, to yell and cry aloud but I couldn't dare to do that. The last time I did so was ten minutes ago and I regretted it badly. The echo had sent such great fear in me with my heart thumping heavily against my chest. I glanced around hoping those who had heard my loud yell would come to find out what the problem but I was wrong. There was no sign of anyone. It was appearant that they didn't give a damn as to what to what happened to me. My mind flashed to the past hour and how things had changed for me within a short while. I still couldn't understand how Rahl happened to find out all of these. "Damn it! Perhaps he went to report to Rahl! That good for nothing orderly!" I thought to
CHAPTER 176BLAKE'S POVThe meeting had ended and we had decided to move thr soldiers to Kyra's pack the next Day. We couldn't waste time as we didn't want Rahl to be the first one to launch an attack. We wanted to take him byu surprise such that he wouldn't be able to regain his balance. Will you be coming with us, dad?" I asked after everyone else had gone. He Stared at me with disdain as if to ask what had suddenly come over me."And what sort of a question is that?" He snapped at once, a thick frown etched to the corners of his face. I lowered my gaze from him as ui wasn't ready for unnecessary talks."I only Wanted to be sure, that's all. I'm sorry if it didn't go well with you!* I quickly apologized,hoping it would end that way but I could only wish."You know you shouldn't be asking such questions. They sound dumb to the ears. If I decide to go with you, then who would remain here to look after the People? Won't they consider us thoughtless and without empathy for them?" He w
CHAPTER 175RAHL'S POV "How dare she do this to me!" I said aloud, slamming my hand against the table that was sitting right in front of me. I could get I hadn't gotten as upset as I was at that momen and no matter how hard I tried to get myself to be calm, it just proved abortive.."Are you sure you're telling the truth?* I asked in a thick baritone could just to be sure he was telling me nothing but the truth. I couldn't risk taking a crucial action based on some lie. I squeezed my brows just to give me that evillish look and it did work. He was shivering in no time and looked like He was going to break anytime soon. "Yes sir, I am sure sir. Why do you think I would lie to you sir when I'm full aware of what you are going to me if you find ou I'm lying?" He said with quavering voice that I couldn't but agree with him. The anger in me turned sour and i began to feel hurt instesd. I had done nothing but love her and make her feel loved. I had treated her in a way that I wouldn't have
CHAPTER 174KYRA'S POVAs I sat still with my head buried in some files, I noticed Ace stealing glances at me. I thought of Ignoring ig for the first few times but I couldn't anymore. I cleared my throat and raised my head to him. He immediately moved his gaze from me, pretending like he hadn't been stealing glances at me all these while. I cleared my throat and twisted my lips into a funny posture."Why are you staring at me in this manner?" I asked in a cool and calm voice, my eyes blinking uncontrollably like it was being controlled by a switch. He was mute for a few seconds with his eyes fixedl wholly on me. I loved it at first but then it became elongated and I couldn't bear it anymore. "Aren't you going to say a word? Is there anything in my eyes?" I went on to ask, a bit confused as to why he was staring at me in such manner. That was the first time I had seen him with such look and it kinda made it worried. When jr wouldn't speak, I rose to my feet and moved to where he wa
CHAPTER 173CINDY'S POV"No! Rahl. You cannot.do this to me. You have to help me. You cannot leave me to die here. You save me first and then we would discuss. Please, you shiu help me!" I pleaded with great desperation but he wouldn't listen to me. With every second that went by, the fire grew closer to me and the iota of hope I had left in me was starting to fade off. The heat was dangerous and hell. I turned behind, hoping to somehow find a way to escape but it proved abortive."Someone please help me!" I yelled at the top of my voice and jerked up at once, panting like I just completed a marathon. It felt like my heart was going to blow from my chest at any moment. I sat upright, moving my eyes around, searching for the fire. It was all a dream. I heaved a sigh of relief as I tried to catch my breath. I could only imagine What would have happened to me if it wasn't a dream after all."Is this a kind of warning to me? Could Rahl decide to do this to me if he finds out the truth of
CHAPTER 172BLAKE'S POVThere was so lot that had to be done in the settlement especially after the fight. We had to make sure it was up to what we had before. So many damages had been done and it wasn't going to be rectified in a minute. When we were done, we were pretty exhausted, I most especially. I wanted to do nothing but lay on my bed and sleep but then there were so many things that had to be done within a short while. I stood akimbo with my hands clasped to my waist and glared around while the peop worked with all their mights to make sure that they get the best out of the pack. I was still standing there when father Walked up to me with a weird look on his face. I found it rather weird that he had such expression and when he didn't speak at once, I wanted to ask him what the problem was but then I changed my mind against it and decided he should be the one to speak. "Blake! What is the next line of action?" He began just thr way I had thought he would. He clasped his hands
CHAPTER 171CINDY'S POVThe fear in me heightened with every second that went by and the more I pondered on the issue at hand, the more my heart palpitated against my chest. I was yet to understand why Rahl was suddenly creating a fuss over it. At the rate he was going, I was sure he wasn't going to spare me if he finds out the truth. He is going to kill me and wouldn't even spare a second to hear me out. That alone gave me goosebumps and I knew I had to think fast. I had to do what was to done at once. I sighed and then rose to my feet, pacing through the length and breadth of the room like one who was being troubled with demons. After a few seconds, I returned to the bed, sitting heavily on it like it had offended me before now. I drew the rope by the bed. It was one used as an alarm to call either of our orderlies. The moment I drew it,I heard a knock on the door and then a few seconds break before the doorknob turned, revealing my orderly who looked as serious as ever."It's time
