The next morning, as I dressed, I couldn't stop the anxiety that was beginning to rush through me at what was about to happen. Sure, I had accepted that this was something that had to be done, and in our world, war and fighting were a normal thing, but that didn't mean that I had to be excited abou
I slowly looked around at the forest as my team travelled deeper and deeper. Just beyond was the compound of the devil himself, and instead of staying far away, here we were growing too close for comfort. "Are you double-thinking your decision?" Thia whispered, coming up beside me. "No one made you
'RUN!' I yelled after quickly linking with her. 'THEY'VE TRICKED US!' Confused Thia released the lycan she was finishing off just in time to look up and spot the massive balls of fire flying straight towards us. Not wasting any time, she quickly turned and began to run towards me as our other comr
Currently, it was two against eight, and we wouldn't be able to take all these lycans on if we couldn't get them to stop. It was clear that fear was spurring them, and their dislike and distrust of me were making matters worse. 'STOP!' I bellowed, but they continued to move and were now inches away
The first thing I felt were claws sinking into my skin. The second was flames licking at my skin. You thought you'd get away, didn't you?' The lycan laughed manically as he opened his burning lips to reveal bloody gums and teeth starting to fall out. 'Well, you were wrong!' Swiftly lowering his h
I don't know how long I stayed in Antoine's arms crying before I was finally pryed free and laid on a cot by Tj, who looked frustrated. "Did you intend to let this go until it healed completely like this?" He demanded, beginning to examine my compound fracture. "Also, did you get into a fight with
The air around us seemed to drop many degrees as Antoine took in my words. From the look on his face, it was pretty clear that he didn't expect me to say what I did. "I'll become alpha." Antoine said firmly, a look of determination forming on his face. "When that happens, he won't have a say." "T
Beginning to move forward, King Nigel laughed as a few rebels quickly backed away, clearly terrified of him. "Don't worry, I'm not ready for you....yet." Laughing, he continued to travel closer and closer towards where I stood watching. "Oh look, here is my beloved daughter." Holding up his arms, h
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
