The sound of shouting and bangs broke me from my delirium. Wincing I mustered up what energy I had left to pull myself towards my cell door hoping that I could figure out what exactly was going on. "Haidan!" The overly familiar voice sent a surge of warmth through me as I felt my conciousness begin
"You've been a healer this whole time?" I asked as Antoine sat me down on a bed for TJ to examine me. "Is it that hard to believe?" TJ asked, looking slightly offended. "Why can't I be a healer?" "Because the Elite Squad is supposed to be the ass puppies of that bastard." Asher offered with a smir
"Because you didn't need to be involved." Antoine quipped, appearing beside me and wrapping a protective arm around my waist. "I had everything under control." "Clearly." Ashton snorted, his eyes roaming up and down my body, taking in my battered state. "So much so, Haidan is luckily still in one p
"What happened?" I asked as tears began to freely flow down my cheeks. "Why is she like this?" "Side effects of the spell that was on her." A man that looked to be in his forties with bright red hair and intense green eyes responded, taking me by surprise. Whirling, I forgot about my injuries, ins
The next day, I found myself sitting at a round table with eight others. They eyed me curiously as I tried to not squirm under their scrutinizing gazes. When I woke up in the morning, Duke Randal immediately came to find me, insisting that I needed to be part of their tactics meeting. Apparently, w
"What did you say?" Gasper asked, his eyes growing huge. "You are saying that we go in there and attack just like that?" Even though I agreed with Gasper that Duke Randal's plan didn't necessarily sound all that appealing, I was curious about what else he had up his sleeve. Would he simply say that
"It's fine." I said, done with all the emotions I was being forced to feel. "Instead, shouldn't all of you be getting back before you get in trouble?" "No one is going to notice that we're missing." Henry insisted, defiantly. "Plus, from what I've heard, you have a surprise attack happening soon. D
"So, you're saying that tomorrow your group plans on using guerilla warfare to take on the Lycan King?" Ashton said, eyeing me with suspicion. I had just finished explaining everything to Henry, Richard, Ashton, and Antoine. The entire time, the men remained quiet as I spoke. But, as the words left
Ouch…"Anyway," Chloe continued, looking into the distance once again. "I’ve been observing you all morning and you’ve been acting strangely. If you don’t get it together, they’re going to grow suspicious. ""I..." I began, but stopped as Chloe got up and wiped dirt from her pants."That was all I w
[Asher’s POV]A gasp escaped me as my eyes flew open. What was… lifting a hand, I touched my forehead to find it covered in sweat. Sitting up, I watched as a black comforter fell down my body, revealing perfectly smooth skin."My scars..." I murmured as my memories of everything that happened up to
[Asher’s POV]"Asher!"Antoine’s voice drifted through the roar of the power I was slowly drawing in as Selene struggled to break free. From the sound of his tone, I knew that he already had an idea of what I was about to do and wanted to stop me."Stay back!" I called, turning to meet his terrified
[Asher’s POV]Jumping up, I kept Leah close to me as I drew on my power once again. The duo would pay dearly for what they had done. And then, once I was done with them, I would go and join Leah."Asher!" Antoine called as footsteps began to make their way towards me. "You need to calm down.""Calm
[Leah’s POV]"Stop it!" I shrieked, shoving Selene aside. "You’re hurting him!"Behind me, I could hear the yells of my comrades, but I wasn’t about to stop now. Sucking in a breath, I lifted my fingers and began to wipe the blood from Asher’s injuries."Why did you let her do this?" I murmured, fee
[Leah’s POV]I kept my gaze fixed on Asher as I continued to touch Ian. Despite the indifference that remained in his features, I could see the jealousy burning in his eyes. Good. This meant that even when the darkness had taken over, he still felt the bond between us. That meant there was a chance
[Leah’s POV]"Mallard has been around for a very long time." Craig began, growing serious. "I know that sounds impossible, but some claim he may even be immortal."Immortal…Shivering, I tried to picture being unable to die. After losing those closest to me, I found it hard to imagine carrying on. I
[Leah’s POV]"You’re Asher." I insisted. There was no way that I could mistake the sensations I was feeling from where we touched."Who?" The man asked in confusion."Leah," Ian murmured, giving my body a slight tug. "That isn’t Asher."Frowning, I continued to take in the man. The eyes that met min
[Leah’s POV]I held my breath as Craig led us into a dark hallway with a long stairwell leading down beneath the earth. Once we reached the bottom, the sound of laughter drifted towards us, filling the deafening silence that was becoming unbearable."In here." Craig announced, beginning to knock an
