Ella's POVWe settled into our seats on the plane, Jayden, sitting close to me, made an effort to engage in small conversation, his words laced with genuine concern. I could feel his presence, his warmth, and it brought a sense of comfort amidst the confusion that swirled within me.I can't help but notice his attention was hundred percent towards me, engaging in small conversations now and then, his care and attention shining through every word and gesture he did. It was as if he was trying to prove his affection and showed that he cared for me just as much as Aiden did to make him jealous.I let out a deep sigh resting my head on back on the seat, the competition between the two of them weighed heavily on my mind, now that I think about it, it started since from the moment we stepped out of the car at the airport to our time spent waiting in the place, and now on the plane, their actions seemed to scream that they were locked in a contest to show who cared for me the most.It was bo
Ella's POVIt was night and the city of Vesas, Jayden and I decided to eat dinner, and then book a suite where we could use to search Edwards with ease. And plan our next steps. I saw Jayden book a luxurious hotel that seemed to offer the comfort and privacy we needed. Sitting at the cosy restaurant nearby, with our plates filled with delicious food before us. It was warm, delicious and inviting, providing us with a brief respite from the whirlwind of emotions that had consumed us throughout the day. Taking my last bite, Jayden glanced up from his meal and met my gaze, his eyes filled with determination. "You done?" He asked while I nodded. "Okay then let's go, we need to search for him with the map I told you earlier, then set up the location." He added standing up.I nodded in agreement, wiping my mouth with a napkin. "You are using your tracking scent, right that's why we need somewhere with privacy away from humans." I asked as we paid for our dinner and left.We made our way to
Ella's POVThe guard with the cobra tattoo around his neck folded his arms around his chest, and shook his head. "I'm sorry, miss, but there is no one with that name residing here." He uttered with a stern voice, sending shivers down my spine, his brows knit together."Even if we know you are looking for us, we can't just let you in if you don't have an appointment with him or our master." The other balded guard by his side added his eyes, scanning us up and down as if we were some kind of intruders. Well, that's actually what we look like.I looked at Jay with questionable eyes practically asking him if he could smell Edward's scent. And I quickly link minds with him."What's up with them? You can smell him right?" I questioned him deep in my mind."They probably don't want us in, because I can smell Edward's scent, the scent is much stronger now. There is no doubt he is in there." He explained closing his eyes and inhaling slowly."I sense they are lying too. Your tracking scent
Ella's POVI glance at Jayden and we both know what we have to do, we have to shift into our wolves and take them down. With a nod, I quickly shifted into my wolf form. Letting Lea take over, feeling the power surge through my veins. Both of us darted towards the nearest group of werewolves closest to us, my senses heightened, and instincts taking over. The clash of fur and fangs filled the air as I attacked my opponents, delivering swift and precise strikes.A guard lunged at me with great speed almost hitting me, but I evaded his attack. "It seems like you've gotten weaker, for just the two weeks you are with ease make you weaker huh?" I mocked Lea, insisting her to get stronger."You bet?" She hauled and moved swiftly retaliating with a swipe of my claws. The force behind my strike sent him crashing into a nearby wall, momentarily dazed.Even though Lea has poor fighting skills, she knows how to defend me in terms of need. If not I won't survive in the Bloodmoon pack.Seizing the
Ella's POV "It is said from the books that I've read that having multiple mates." He looked at me then at Jayden then gulped. "It is believed to be a curse." He uttered, making the air chill and everyone was quiet.My heart raced as Edward revealed the secret behind multiple mate bonds. The old man's body trembled, his face contorting with a mix of disbelief and fear. "A curse?" I whispered aside, my eyes never leaving Edwards waiting for answers and more explanation. The multiple mates always burden me, but I never bring it to be a curse.He picked up his cup of coffee but his hands shook uncontrollably, causing his coffee to spill over the edges of the cup."Edward, are you okay? Can you explain more." Jayden asked, curious as I am.With a shaky voice, Edward began to explain, the words stumbling out as if he was reliving a haunting revelation. "It is a curse that binds the mates together, entangling their lives in a complex web of love, desire, jealousy and unimaginable conseque
Ella's POVWe followed Edward through the labyrinthine corridors of his mansion, our steps echoing in the silence, we arrived at a forgotten corner—a room concealed behind a grand oak door. The air within was heavy with the scent of aged parchment and forgotten knowledge."This," Edward murmured, his voice hushed and reverent, "is where the secrets of our kind are buried—the hidden stories that hold the key to our past."My eyes widened as I beheld row upon row of towering bookshelves, their shelves groaning under the weight of countless times. It was a treasure trove of forgotten tales, waiting to be discovered.Edward's fingers brushed against the spines of the books, searching for a particular volume. His touch was gentle, almost reverential, as though he understood the power held within these ancient pages.I exchange worried looks with Jayden. What did this have to do with us? Edward stopped in front of a book, covered in a film of dust, its title etched in faded gold letters: "T
Aiden's POV I lay alone in the cosy cabin nestled in the heart of the forest, high atop the mountains where William, the rogue alpha, I train from resided. The weight of the prophecy bore down upon my soul. The crackling fire danced in the hearth, casting flickering shadows upon the wooden walls, mirroring the turmoil within my heart.Days had turned into nights since I left Ella and Jayden at the airport, and like a f**king fool, I let go of my mate, unable to bear the sight of them together. I had offered a stupid and lame excuse, a mere feeble attempt to conceal the truth that gnawed at my very being. How could I see her together with someone, and none other than my own twin brother. I agree the goddess is Wicked. This would just tear us apart. And in my desperation, I sought solace with William, the rogue alpha whose knowledge delved into the depths of ancient lore. I know he possessed the wisdom I needed, however bitter it may be. To leave my mate, I have to, in order to tame
Ella's POVI sat on the edge of my bed, feeling a sense of solitude in my quiet room. The sunrise streamed in through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the floor. I sat up staring at the empty room, my mind clouded with emotions as my body feels a little weak as always these past days, it makes Lea sleep all day. That's why I've been going to train and exercise so I can feel back to life and motivated. It's been weeks passed since we left Edward's place, where the revelation of the curse had cast a shadow over our lives. It seemed like an eternity, yet I couldn't shake off the lingering feeling of unease.And Aiden's absence weighed heavily on my heart. I had hoped that with time, our bond would strengthen and we would find solace in each other's arms. But since we returned he wasn't here and wasn't back till now. His absence and the unanswered phone calls left me feeling adrift, unsure of where our relationship stood. Was it merely the curse driving us apart, or was there somethi
