He went after Karis, switching from cool and detached to deadly within the blink of an eye. He was blur even with my Alpha gaze, so fast I didn't catch his movement until I saw Karis's body slamming through the wall on the other side. He went after her again and again, she tried blocking obviously, but he was too strong, too fast, too everything.My heart rate was through the roof, I felt the distinct taste of death and for the first time in my life I actually feared I was going to die. He was going to kill Karis and then me. All these thoughts went through my head as I watched his hit and kick and claw his way through Karis, completely destroying the furniture and walls of the apartment in the process.I needed to do something, I had to do something or he would actually kill her.I had to do something now! I ran and intercepted one of his attacks, and received the force of his claws on my stomach. He had cut me so deep I felt the taste of blood immediately in my mouth. Karis lay mo
I pulled my head back and howled loud, groaning as I tried transitioning into my wolf as fast as I could. I could see through my periphery as the man that they had ordered to go and prep the others was leaving, he was going to start killing them. I needed to stop him immediately.My elbow connected with the man holding me as I hit him really hard, he grunted and the force of his hand on my neck left me. I turned around with all of my focus on the person that had just left. I ran straight through all the men that had gathered and over the table and then to the door, following the man as fast as I could. I could hear shouts of orders behind me and somewhere far away.I heard men speaking in Vishyan as they all ran towards where I was.I was next to the man I was following in no time and had his neck in my grasp, breaking it in one second. My vision was hazy and my mouth watered with the need for all of the men to be dead, by my hands. I turned around and saw several of the men snarli
"I know," I replied softly, my eyes going back to all the scenes in front of me.This was a good thing, and I was doing a good thing for the world. Helping the way that I could. I wasn't an expert yet and I wasn't all rainbows and flowers, but I was learning slowly."How are you feeling right now?" He asked, looking back at me closely."Good. feel better than I would have normally. I did use the Queen inside me to fight, and on a normal day I would be very exhausted and would need a few hours to recuperate" I replied."Yeah. I am glad too, you do look better than before" he said."Mmm. And of course there is this fact that it didn't cause absolute destruction on the whole world again. You should know" I said the last part sarcastically. letting him know that I was aware.His body stiffened for a second before he looked at me."Commander Susan has told you" he breathed out. He looked away before looking back at me."Let me explain," he added, beginning to look scared and frustrated."T
I pulled the duvet off me and came down from the bed, my legs walking bare on the floor as I walked out of the room and searched for the bathroom. I needed to do my business and clean up, after I was done I went into the surrounding hallway. Where are all the guys? Where did they all disappear to?The floor was quiet, as if there was nobody there. I walked all the way around till I found the stairs at the end of the hall and made my way down the stairs. I finally met all the guys in the kitchen talking and eating pizza."Hey. I am so hungry" I said the moment I got close."Hey""Cassie. You are up""Are you okay?"They all asked, I ignored them and went to the tap and got me a glass of water before settling on one of the chairs to eat."I am okay. I have been asleep for a few hours so I feel better now" I said to them as I took a slice and started eating."What's happening? What were you guys talking about?" I asked them finally, after I had swallowed the bite in my mouth."Did you k
I looked out the plane and watched the faint buildings down below as they moved past. We were finally done with our first mission and we were finally going back to the academy.The snores of Karis and some of the guys drifted to where I sat, I looked away from the window and looked into the plane. It was in the early part of the morning and all the guys had finally gone to sleep. The chatter that had filled the plane earlier had slowly drifted down as they all succumbed to the tiredness that beckoned them. I was most likely the only person that was awake.Maybe some of the commanders were still awake, because at some point words would drift to where I was.I was sleepy and very tired, but I didn't want to drift from my subconscious. I couldn't sleep for two reasons. One was the fact that I had slept off most of the afternoon and early night earlier. Second was the fact that he was waiting for me there, always waiting.I wanted to prevent seeing Hades for as long as I could help it,
School activities ensued as usual, classes resumed and I and Emily had to work extra hard to catch up on all the things we had missed. You would think it was only two weeks worth of school work but that wasn't all. There was as much training as well as tests that we had missed. And it was a very exerting period as we had to catch up with the rest of our mates.I had worried that things would change in school if we went back, but apparently I had nothing to worry about because everyone acted like we hadn't gone on a super deadly mission and came back alive. I wouldn't say that I was the same and I couldn't say the same for the guys that went with me. We had definitely changed, the mission had definitely made us better, sharper and more cautious of things, and it had also made things worse.I could see all that reflecting in my training, how the mission had shaped us to be better, how I reacted quickly and how I made better decisions. I could say the same thing for Emily. We had gro
I woke up the next morning and the first thing I thought about was what had been plaguing my mind before I had fallen asleep. I had figured out that my birthday was the day I was going away with Hades. He had been trailing his time with me slowly, waiting for the chance to take me with him, because he didn't have the strength to do that now.Maybe my immature wolf blood was what had been stopping him, but the moment I turned eighteen my blood would mature fully and then he could have me the way he wanted.My eyes were slitted as I stared at the window above my bed. was getting even weaker and slower than before, and I really hoped the commanders coming today would have the answers for me, or an insight as to what was happening to me.I must have dozed off because next thing I heard was the door to my room opening and closing, then a tense silence. I could smell him even before! opened my eyes. The smell of power and dominance, that smell that always suffocated the area whenever King
I woke up late and the first thing I felt was her presence in the room, apart from the mild Alpha female vibes Emily gave off on a normal day she also had a unique scent. A mixture of Amania and Jasmine, something I would recognize anywhere as Emily's scent.That scent permeated the whole room now, and even before I saw her or recognized her wolf, I already perceived the perfume."I know you are awake" said her voice.She was most likely on the bed on the other side of the room, sitting on the bed that my wayward roommate had but never used.I heard her phone ring and then she picked the call."Yes she is awake. You can come now" she said to whoever was on the other side before she clicked the call off.There was a tense silence as we waited for whoever had been on the receiving end of the call.My door opened and several pairs of footsteps walked in. There was Bryan and Joshua, then Achu, Anthony and Karis. Then the door closed shut."They are here" said Emily as she rose from the b
