-Ethan-My mind has been in non-stop chaos since after the meeting and conversation I had with Kristoff. I stayed in the parking space beside my cabin for almost an hour now. Lucas nearly went to get me but I mind-linked him and told him that I needed more time alone. Suddenly I remembered that I was supposed to set up a meeting with Kristoff for Angeline but I was so caught up with my own issues that I forgot to do it. I pulled out my phone and dialed his number. “Don’t tell me that you miss me that soon?” He asked jokingly“There’s something I wanted to ask but I got distracted,” I replied disregarding his awful joke. I just wanted to know if there is a possibility of having remnants of the trance even if the removable was already performed.”“You think Angeline is still tranced?” He asked seriously.“A part of me feels that she is still under the trance because, for one, there’s something about her actions that doesn’t really match with the person I know her to be.”“Like what?”
-Angeline-Lately, I noticed that Ethan is acting differently and yet still the same. “So, where have you been?” I asked the moment that he walked into the dining room. He looked at me but immediately turned his focus on Lucas who was bringing the food to the table as she said, “I was in a meeting with Kristoff and Stefan,” he replied as he took the bowls from Lucas and placed it on the table. “Is there an update regarding my request with Stefan?” I asked. Because I really want him to be my mate now. It makes me wonder why the hell did I decide to push him away in the beginning. I mean, what the hell was I thinking back then? Why did I ever think that I was fine not living with him? I got to admit that I kinda miss our banter. “We didn’t really talk about it, because Kristoff has some important news,” he replied, still not looking at me. What the hell is wrong with him? And where is the guy who said that he would go to war with Stefan if it meant that he would get to keep me?Raja
-Ethan-The moment that I stepped into the room I knew that Angeline already had an idea that I was kind of avoiding her. I can feel her eyes following every movement that I make. I know that I should feel happy about it. Maybe I should just disregard the trance and just live with her. I love her anyway, there’s no doubt about that, and despite her finding her Mate and choosing him. I still loved her. So what difference does it make if she is in the trance or not? As long as she’s with me, I will protect her. So maybe, I could just disregard the fact that she’s in a trance or not. But I can’t, no, my conscience can’t. “Is there an update regarding my request with Stefan?” I know that she would ask me this question and even though Stefan already gave me his answer I just can’t tell it to her. “We didn’t really talk about it, because Kristoff has some important news,” I lied, unable to look at her, because I was so afraid that she could see through my lie. After helping out in plac
-Angeline-After all I had been through, only a few things could surprise me. And yet the moment that Raja’s hand came in contact with my face, I was speechless. “Did you just slap me?” I asked, my body was filled with rage and horror. I am not sure what happened exactly that warranted Raja slapping me. “What did I ever do to you?” I asked, unbelieving that what happened really happened.Raja looked me straight in the eye, unblinking and no signs of regret can be seen on her face after what she had done. “What did I ever do to you, Raja?” I asked angrily this time. I know that Raja hated me when I requested the look on my face to make sure that no one would recognize me but was that enough reason for her to treat me this way?“Do you remember what was happening before I slapped you?” Raja asked calmly as if she didn't just slap me.“What do you mean?” I asked still angry as I kept on massaging my slapped cheek. “No better yet, what the hell is your problem?” I watched as Raja, Etha
-Angeline-I spent years healing, training, and planning for my revenge, to make those who have hurt and betrayed me pay for what they did. Everything was going according to plan because my plan was perfect until it wasn’t. I looked at the man in front of me as he said the words I wasn’t expecting to hear from him. “Because I am no longer married to her.” When did that happen? Why was I not aware of it? Or was he just making a joke?“What are you talking about?” I asked in confusion. “How can you not be married to her? You loved her.” Stefan looked at me with sadness in his eyes, was there something I was missing? I turned to Ethan who looked at me like I was a piece of glass that was about to break into a million pieces making me more confused by the minute. “Angeline,” Ethan called and my eyes grew big I frowned at him trying to let my eyes talk. I trusted him and I told him countless of times to never stand in my way. What the hell is he doing right now?Ethan walked to where
-Angeline-“We are being attacked!” My body started moving right before I knew what I was supposed to do. “Angeline!” I was almost out of the cabin when Ethan called out and walked towards me.“What?” I asked irritably, and as he stood so tall in front of me there was something I realized, I hated him for not giving me a heads-up that Stefan already knew who I was. I hate the fact that he didn’t even consider that I didn’t really know what the hell was happening. “You are not going anywhere,” he said, his voice commanding making me more irritated with him. “The last time I checked, you are not my Alpha,” I replied. As I turned towards where I last saw Stefan but when I turned he was nowhere to be found. “He’s gone,” Ethan said, “He is a very busy man because he needs to make sure that his people are safe.”“Which is why I need to go,” I said as I turned to walk towards the training ground. But instead of allowing me to go, I felt strong hands wrapped around my wrist pulling me ba
-Ethan-The attack was focused on Stefan’s pack which could only mean one thing. They were after her.A part of me knows that she was tranced but then again, a part of me wants to deny it because I know that the moment that I acknowledge it will be the same moment that I accept that what Angeline was showing me these days was all part of her being in a trance. I know that I was at least special to her. That a part of me is special to her but Kristoff was right. The eyes wouldn’t lie. And despite the anger that she was feeling towards Stefan I saw how she looked at him. I saw the pain in her eyes more than the anger. I saw the questions of what could have been and what happened lingering in her eyes, her unspoken questions. I saw the way they talked as she realize that there was no turning back. That the cover she carefully created for herself was no longer there. I saw a chance for them to start once again. A chance to fix what was broken. A chance for them to be reunited.I saw t
-Stefan-The attack was not the usual attack that we encountered, there were less numbers of newborns, and the moment that they were cleared, there were no additional newborns that came after. “How is Angeline?” I asked Ethan and Kristoff the moment that they stepped foot in my office.“She’s fine,” Ethan replied, “Kristoff made sure that he had removed the remnants.” “But I still want you guys to do an observation especially since I conclude that this is Mikael’s work. “You’re brother?” I asked in surprise because I wasn’t expecting to hear his name.“Yes,” Kristoff said, as he stressfully ran a hand through his hair.“But isn’t he supposed to be stowed away or something?” “He is, or was,” Kristoff’s unassurance is making me panic more. “To be honest I know that he is still trapped because the seal that we placed on his prison cell can’t really be unlocked unless there is some other way that I didn’t know. I need to do more research about it just to make sure.”I nodded.“But tha
