CHAPTER EIGHTY ONE

AUTHOR'S POVEVERETT AND MAKILA"So you're telling me that I am your lover from years back? That I'm a reincarnation of my best friend's uncle?"Makila inspected a rock, rolling it over in the palm of her hand. She had just unleashed a huge piece of information to him, but hardly seemed like so to her, apparently. "I'm telling you that you both have a lot in common. And the gods must be very funny because how did you end up back with him again? I'll tell you one thing—you should leave."Leave? Why would he do such a thing? Maverick was like a brother to him, and he absolutely couldn't leave him, especially not at a time when he was needed. "Why would you even suggest that? You should already know who Maverick is to me.""I know, and that's exactly why I'm telling you to leave him alone." She watched him with her bright sky blue eyes. Despite how dark it was outside, her whole being seemed to radiate a certain kind of glow that he couldn't ignore. Indeed, she was beautiful, but she hel

CHAPTER EIGHTY TWO

ORLADARKE RESIDENCEWhen my parents arrived home, I didn't quite know how to feel about it. As my mother's heels clacked against the ground, and my father's face appeared in the doorway that warm Tuesday afternoon, my world seemed to implode, then explode all at once.Yes, I was glad to see them, but what did that mean? Now, they were in direct sight of enemies, unsafe if anything went wrong. I'd missed them, but I hated to think about how they could just as easily be captured, hurt, or even killed.My mind was filled with vivid flashes of how they died in my past life. How I couldn't do anything to save them. How I could only watch, mourn and pray for them to somehow miraculously open their eyes and tell me that it was all a joke . . ."Orla, dear. Won't you give your parents a big hug?" My mother asked softly, standing before me with a wide smile. Although behind it, I could sense something else. The main question that I knew they would eventually ask.I hugged her, then moved ove

CHAPTER EIGHTY THREE

ORLABLACKWOOD MANORAfter our quick outing, we returned to Maverick's place because he wanted to show me something.By now, his home had once again again been fully repaired, and privacy had been restored to some extent. At least it wasn't filled with strangers and all anymore. But I still wondered whether it was completely safe. If there wasn't a spy amongst those workers relaying information back to Ryker's father.Or maybe I was just incredibly paranoid.I wondered how he kept his cool through it all, having to go through a similar ordeal more than once in his life. First, his parent's death, and now, the death and disappearance of people close to him.He had still not heard any news about his missing packmate, and I knew better than to ask directly about it. I just really wanted him to find some sort of solace, because the whole thing could really be messing with his head, even if he didn't show it.He led me into a room I'd never been in before. The walls were a strange mix of l

CHAPTER EIGHTY FOUR

ORLATHE BLACKWOOD MANOR "That's clearly a trap, Orla. You can’t just go," Maverick said, following closely behind me as I rushed out of the manor, frantic and barely aware of what was happening around me. "Listen to me—""I am listening to you," I said, turning around to face him. "But what do you expect me to do? Leave my parent and have them killed aga—" I cut my words, trying to not let anything slip from my mouth—"to leave them to their fate?""No. I'm simply saying that you should have a plan. If Ophelia wants you there, what are the chances of her being alone? What if she's there with Ryker or his father?"I little part of me wondered how he was able to quickly become so serious after what had just transpired between us. It made me feel more guilty. If I had stayed back home, maybe I could have done something.He had a point, though. Just going there without thinking could in the end do more harm than good. And it made no sense to just go there without having a concrete plan.

CHAPTER EIGHTY FIVE

ORLA THE DARKE RESIDENCEOphelia's knife glinted as she pointed it at me. Gently, it swayed from left to right, not obviously, looking ready to detach from her hand and sink into my flesh at any minute.I take deep breaths until I could do so no longer. Until it became bothersome to do so.My mother laid on the floor, immobile, while my father bled out from the wound on his shoulder, and there was actually nothing that I could do with Ophelia's threats handing over my head like a dark cloud heavy with rain.When did things become so bad? When did it become a crime to care for someone and cherish them? Why did people have the right to bite the hands that fed them?As I stared at Ophelia, I wondered what went on in her head, the force behind this her erratic behaviour. What had been the trigger for this kind of thing? I actually wanted to ask, but I could sense that she was at the end of her tolerance rope. Now, all she wanted was for me to hand over everything that I had earned to her

CHAPTER EIGHTY SIX

ORLAWith Ryker's interference in my mind, I could barely think or do much else apart from aggressively twisting and screaming at intervals. I grabbed Maverick's hand and held it tight."Maverick. Please, find Ryker. He is somewhere nearby," I whispered with the only droplet of strength I had left. "Please. Just please help me.""I can't leave you all on your own here, Orla. I can’t just leave you like this.""Just go! I'll be okay. You need to find him. I can feel him . . . He's so close," my body was seized by another bout of pain and I surrendered to it, nearly falling completely unconscious in the process.My vision had doubled; the world ne sat in duplicates in my disrupted vision. The pain felt like someone had taken a long sharp knife and proceeded to stab me repeatedly.The worst pain of all was the one in my head. The one that pounded against my skull and made my head feel like it was being torn apart piece by piece. My lungs constricted and expanded forcefully. Everything I

CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN

ORLAAfter the reality of Ophelia's death completely settled on me, I also found the strength to get back up to my feet.I shared a glance with Maverick, and he looked just about as confused as I was. Her death had been so sudden, such a different ending to what we had envisioned. Yes, I was willing to use whatever I could to win this, but I never actually imagined that she'd have to die in the end.Maverick pulled me by the waist to his side, lending me his warmth even as I stood on shaky legs. In times like these, I wondered why I had been initially cold towards him. How did he manage to keep waiting for me all these years.The agony and anguish on Ryker's face was too clear to ignore. His breaths were heavy, like he was having an attack of some sorts. He gasped, clawing the air in front of him desperately in a way that I'd never seen him do. Not even when his father had been announced dead years ago.'She was his true mate,' Maverick explained through our mind link. 'The pain is fe

CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT

ORLAOphelia, despite not bringing rest to the Darke family, was finally laid to rest two days after her death. Unlike what most people saw in movies, rain didn't fall. Although I'd carried an umbrella just in case it was all some fancy hoax to get me to let my guard down.All the while they lowered her brown, shiny coffin six feet below, I watched without moving. Dressed in a black gown and holding a black umbrella, I must have appeared as the most mournful person in that gathering.And maybe they were right.Despite telling myself that it would have been useless to cry or to care about her, a part of me still saw her as the girl I'd lived with for most of my life. My sister. My family. Whether I like it or not, she had become a part of me that I simply couldn't forget, no matter how hard I tried to toss away that truth.Mom cried, although it most likely came from the fact that one of her children had tried to hurt her, or the painful truth that Ophelia didn't care about the famil

With each step he took, he came more and more aware of how wrong his actions were.What would he do if Maverick found out that he was seeing this woman secretly? Especially after everything she had done.Maybe it was why she also didn't tell him the truth he was searching for all at once. Makila herself wasn't an idiot.

CHAPTER NINETY

ORLATHE BLACKWOOD MANORSlowly, sensation returned to my body, and my mind finally caught up to it. I woke up soon after.I blinked slowly, trying to get a good look at what surrounded me so that I could fully understand where I was. The moment my eyes landed on a lone picture frame sitting at the top of a bookshelf, I knew where I was.The last thing I could remember was pain rising up all over my body so intensely that I couldn’t breathe. Maverick had been telling me about what had happened to his parents, and somehow his words had triggered something within me. A memory of a life once past.How flames licked my skin as I cried out for help. How I couldn't escape no matter how hard I tried. The way someone came through the burning building just as my body shut down, and pulled me into his arms despite the roaring flames.Maverick.He'd saved me then, and now, he was still saving me.As though he could hear my thoughts, he came over to me, and touched my forehead with the back of hi
