-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
-Angeline-Kristoff came as he promised and checked on me once again. Apparently, a lot of things have happened ever since I was once again placed in a trance. But this time, instead of a panicked and scared person that I had become before I was bold and unafraid of the consequences this time. No one really told me the whole story, just bits of what they were willing to provide me. Raja said that at first, she thought that I finally woke up and got my act together after the talk that we had and was glad to see that my decision was choosing Ethan. She said that she wasn’t expecting that it was the trance that was doing all that. Raja said that no one noticed what was wrong because everyone who was rooting for us was so excited about the change. I don’t know what to say and even though Kristoff and Raja both told me that it was not my fault, a part of me can’t really accept that fact. I didn’t want to hurt Ethan but I guess it was already too late for that. Seeing that he’s trying h
-Stefan-“Alright,” Kristoff said, as he looked at us. “Oh by the way,” he started to say as he looked at the two of us, “The two of you better start fixing whatever needs to be fixed, or better yet the two of you better start talking about what you hated about each other because for this alliance to work I need the two of you to have sane minds.”“There’s nothing wrong with us,” Ethan said defensively.“Cut the crap, Ethan,” Kristoff said irritably. “If your aunt is here trust me she wouldn’t tolerate this shit. If my hunch is right and Mikael is really running the show, using Angeline’s father as his cover, this won’t be an easy fight.” Kristoff sighed heavily as he looked at Ethan and me, “Mikael is not an easy opponent which is why, as you can see, we weren’t really able to kill him. We just lock him up instead because that's the only thing we can do.”Ethan and I looked at each other and I knew that Ethan was thinking exactly the same thing that I was thinking. We need to fix
-Angeline-Lucas and I entered the pack house and went straight for Stefan’s office, a room I know so well. As we faced the door Lucas turned to me and asked. “Are you ready?”“Let’s get this over with,” I replied as he nodded and knocked on the door. “Come in,” I heard Stefan say.Lucas turned the doorknob and opened the door for me to enter. Once inside, Lucas nodded to Ethan and then closed the door. I stood in front of the two of them as they both looked at me. Deciding that it would be better for the three of us, I decided to take a seat on the couch that faced both of them. “How are you?” It was Stefan who broke the silence. “I’m not gonna lie,” I replied, “So saying that I’m fine would be a lie.”Stefan nodded. “So, what am I here for?” I asked, looking at him and then at Ethan who seemed to be avoiding me. “I’m not sure how much Kristoff has told you, but to give you an insight, a war is coming,” Stefan explained, soft and calm. Not the type of Stefan that I was used t
-Ethan-The moment that she entered the room I knew that I had no choice but to face her. I know that she can sense it. But you see it’s really not easy to do just that, it’s not as if my feelings have an on-and-off switch that I can use to turn off whatever it is that I am feeling. It’s more complicated than that. And definitely harder than that.“How are you?” It was Stefan who broke the silence. “I’m not gonna lie,” she replied, “So saying that I’m fine would be a lie.”Stefan nodded as I avoided looking at her even though there was nothing I would want more than to look at her. Hold her, and make her mine. But that’s never happening.“So, what am I here for?” She asked, I could feel that she was looking at me and the temptation to look back at her was overpowering even though I was trying my best not to.“I’m not sure how much Kristoff has told you, but to give you an insight, a war is coming,” Stefan explained, surprising me with his patience and calmness. “I heard bits of it,
-Stefan-I watched as Ethan laid Angeline gently on her bed as I hung up the call with Lucas. I turned to my friend whose arrogance had disappeared.“What the hell is wrong with you?” I asked in hushed but angry tones as I pulled his arm to turn him and face me. Ethan was quiet as he looked at Angeline’s almost lifeless body. “Ethan, I am all out in understanding you but you better start talking before I lose it,” I said, “What the hell is wrong with you?”Ethan looked at me as he ran a hand through his already messed-up hair. This made me realize that something was definitely wrong with him.“I am losing my patience, Ethan,” I said running my hand through my own hair, “You better start talking.”A heavy sigh escaped his lips, as he sat by the side of the bed beside Angeline and he held her hand in his. A part of me wished that it was me sitting in that position but I know that I already lost the right to do that. I sat on the couch near the bed as I waited for my friend’s explanat
-Ethan-I looked at Angeline’s sleeping form as she fought the sickness that as per Uncle Kristoff, was caused because she wasn’t still mated. I don’t know what to say or how to feel about all of this because truth be told all I feel now is pain. I know that I haven’t given her the chance to talk to me or explain. I know that there are so many questions that were left unanswered between us and I know that we should be talking about it now. “So,” Stefan said after giving me a few minutes of silence. “Are you going to start talking or am I going to start asking?”I release a heavy breath hoping that it will take a bit of weight off my shoulder but it didn’t. I look at my friend, my best friend. We used to know each other so well. Used to have each other’s back, until, she came.“Did you know that she was supposed to be mine?” I asked not looking at him but instead, I had my eyes trained on Angeline. “She was my blind date,” I said not waiting for his reply. I know that he knows a bit
-Angeline-I don’t know how long I had been sleeping but the moment that I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see where I was.I looked at my surroundings seeing the familiar color of walls and the familiar design of the room.“Good Morning,” I turned to see Stefan’s smiling face as he looked at me. “How long was I out?” I asked, using my elbow, I tried to rise from my bed but he stopped me. “You don’t have to move so much,” he said as he looked at me brows crumpled as concern showed on his face. “You just slept for a few hours,” he said, to answer my first question, “And honestly you need to rest more.“I think I’m fine,” I replied as I pulled myself together and sat up. I was waiting for him to say something to stop me but he remained silent. Instead, he helped me by placing a pillow behind my back checking if I was comfortable in my position before taking his seat on the couch beside my bed.“Where’s Ethan?” I asked, trying to act like I didn’t care even though I did.“He’s just
