KYRA’S POVAce's voice was exactly what I needed to get myself to be calm. I was aware of the measures that had been taken to make sure that we are well secured but I couldn't help but worry about it. I had slept off while I was thinking about it. All of a sudden, my eyes flew open and I was in complete darkness, such that there was nothing to be seen. My heart raced against my chest because I knew Very well what was happening. I had been there before and I could tell you for free that it wasn't so good. I began to find a way to get out of there but there didn't seem to be any. How could I even find anything when it was dark all Over. Tears gathered in my eyes, threatening to overflow in seconds but I was aware that I had to be strong as well. "No Kyra, you're going bro be fine. You do not have to worry about anything," I assured myself as I stood Still, hoping someone would come in at once. I was still in a dilemma as to what to do when I heard some whispering sound from behind
KYRA'S POVI jerked awake, panting heavily like I was going to pass out any time soon. I was right. I had been dreaming all these while but one thing I had come to learn is to take all dreams of mine as as Serious as I take other things. I stared around and on the chair just by the bed sat Ace. He was so engrossed in his work. Like though he suspected something was wrong, he turned his eyes to me and smiled, smile that vanishd as quickly as it appeared. "What's the problem? Why do you look so troubled?" He asked with a frown laced to his brows. He looked quite serious and all worked up. I was mute for a few seconds as I gazed at him, a bit confused. I tried to understand exactly what he could do to make me so mad with him but I couldn't think of anything. "Kyra! Are you alright? Come on, speak to me!" He rose from where he was seating and dashed to where at once as quickly as he was. He wrapped his hands round me like I was some two year old child. I loved it though because it g
RAHL'S POVWhat's the problem? Why are you all these silent? Can you speak at once and make me understand what's going on?" I yelled at them when I couldn't take it any more. I was to understand why they were all trying to make me go crazy. I heaved a sigh as I waited for a response from them. "Our allies refused to grant your request. We tried to convince them but they still didn't yield," they explained and immediately, my heart fell. I didn't know what else to do to make them help me. To think these were people who I have helped times over number and now, they weren't Willing to yield to my wish. Thinking of it alone Infuriated me but I managed to calm myself. "That's fine, it's obvious they are only my allies because of what I have to offer them and not because it's suppose to be mutual." "What do you suggest we do right now sir? We need to do something as soon as possible. I have a strong urge that daughter of a bitch is trying to attack us and you know Very well what that
ACE'S POVI couldn't blame her so much as I would have wanted to as I totally understood the plight she was In. If I were in her shoes as well, I'd have done worse and that was the bitter truth. The pack had once been taken her from and her family, making her a slave for almost a quarter of her life. Being a slave is quite difficult and isn't something someone would wish to return to. She wanted but one thing and that was to have her pack safe and sound and I was going to make sure that happens no matter what it takes. "Really?" A thought swished through my head, leaving me puzzled. What manner of problem is this that's trying to raised its head at this moment. "Yes, I'd do everything for her even if it means dying. I'll make sure that this pack doesn't get captured again. That's a promise from me to the universe," I confessed aloud. I knew it wasn't going to be so easy but I was going to do it still. The love I had for Kyra was second to none. I lowered my gaze to her and righ
ACE'S POVFew minutes later, my eyes popped open and the reality of what I did dawned on me. I felt anger within me and couldn't control it."What have you done to me?" I yelled at her as she put on her clothes with a sinister grin slowly forming round her lips. I wanted to land a punch across the face but I esfb one to lay my hands on a woman. "What do you mean by what I have done to you? You agreed to do it and that's it. Why are you trying to blame me for your actions?" She slammed back at me in a loud and firm voice that took me aback. if one had told me that she could be this outspoken, I wouldn't have believed them. To think she was acting all frightened and inexperienced about thirty minutes back. I felt Infuriated at the way she spoke. "Are you nuts? Do you want to claim you don't know exactly what you did to me? You hypnotized me and made me do your wish and you're here trying to force innocent. Do you even realize who it is you're speaking to?""To hell with you and who
CHAPTER 91RAHL'S POVI tried to calm down as I stood still to hear what it was my beta had to say but the more I waited, the more my patience waned out. I wanted to yell at him but he had such a calm face that I felt I was going to offend him if I yelled at him when he literally did nothing. "Are you going to delay me further or you'll speak?" I snapped at him as I clenched my hands into a fist. My blood boiled so much that I felt I was going to explode anytime soon. "And that's exactly what I'm about to speak to you on! You need to be extremely patient especially in times like this. We cannot afford to make rash decisions because they'll eventually bounce back on us," he said to me in the same cool voice that I had always known him to have. At this point, I was extremely confused as to what to do and I couldn't even hide it even though I wanted to. I ran my hands through my hair as I glanced right at him. "I think you need to retract your words in regards to recruiting the men
KYRA'S POVOne thing was sure and that was the strong nagging feeling that clouded my thoughts. I knew all wasn't well with Ace and here he was, complicating matters for me. I Wanted to know to know what the problem was but he wouldn't speak and thinking of it alone almost made me go mad. "Is he telling the truth or is he hiding anything from me?" This question clouded my mind and troubled my heart more than I had thought it would. He glared at me for a few seconds before a smile etched itself on his face. I was familiar with that smile and knew better than trust it. He only gave that smile when he needs me to stop talking about something. I smiled back at him and rose from the bed to get to my tasks. I had to meet a lot of people and within a limited time. Thinking of it alone made me develop a headache. My hand rested on the nape of my neck, slowly massaging it to create relief. After a few touches, I felt much better than I was. I remained by the door all the while I did this ju
KYRA'S POV I moved my gaze around until it rested on Ace who stood still, obviously dumbfounded by her utterances. For the first few seconds, I found it difficult to believe my ears and I waited for him to speak in his defense but he remained silent all through, giving me the notion that he was guilty of the allegation thrown at him. I felt my heart break into a thousand pieces. The trust I had in him was broken within the twinkle of an eye."Why did you do it? No, tell me! Why did you cheat on me and to think you cheated on me with her. Don't I satisfy you enough?" I asked, my voice laced with pain. It choked and threatened to kill me. I began to pant, unable to catch my breath. He moved close to me in a bid to help me out but I pushed him off. I couldn't stand the sight of him for even a second. "I'm sorry Kyra! I'm really sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. I wasn't in my right sense when I made out with her and I've been wanting to tell you all morning since I woke up. I'm sorr
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
