21. Keep her safe

[Kian](Present)I ran my finger over the torn edges of the last page of her diary. No wonder she tore the last page off.Taking a deep breath, I shut the diary, and I placed it on the nightstand beside Carys’ bed.What I don’t understand is why did Christian give it to me?I glanced at Carys. She was still asleep. The doctor said she’d regain consciousness in an hour or two. Tucking the blanket around her, I increased the heat of her room. After landing in the Winter pack, I secretly took Carys to one of my alpine estates located deep in the Vizsnow mountains. I had to keep her hidden for the time being. Now that she was a rogue, the entire world would come for her without having any fear of the consequences. Because there would be no consequences even if they killed her.“There’s something I don’t understand, Alpha,” Jackson said. “Why did Alpha Christian let you take her so easily? Like you said, he didn’t even try to stop you.”“Because that’s what he wanted,” I said. He was te

22. Determination

[Carys]‘You can’t leave me. Where do you think you’ll go? You cannot run away from me, Carys. I “am” your cage. No matter how far you fly, where you go, I will always have a leash on you. You will find yourself confined back within my bars.’I was floating naked in a blank space with nothing but those haunting, distorted words and their incessant echoes. The darkness around me crackled itself around me until I found myself locked in a gold cage. I tried to step out, but the shackles caught me crawling around my ankles up my legs.Like thunder, thorny rose vines crept into and around the cage.The bars of the cage slithered into golden snakes, baring their fangs at me as they slithered all around my body. They coiled tight until I felt my skin sever and heard my bones crack.‘If not my beta, what the hell are you? If not mine, you are no one’s!’I fell to my knees, panting as the thorns of the vines stabbed right through my skin. In no time, I was kneeling in the puddle of my blood.‘

23. Frozen fall

[Carys] (Past) Click. Click. Click. Another reason I didn’t like morning hunts. I turned around and glared into the lens of Joshua’s camera. The lens of his brand new camera extended out as he focused it on my face. “Will you stop it already? We are on a hunt, not some photography competition,” I said stoically. “Keep your camera aside and focus on what’s important.” “Oh, I am focusing on what’s important and God, she’s so fine.” He said, clicking my photos from all the stupid angles. “How about this?” I pressed the tip of my nose upwards, making my nose resemble that of a piggy. “Oink! Oink!” He started clicking my photos more vigorously as he broke into laughter. “I am sending these photos to beta Logan. He’d be delighted to see his daughter morph into a piglet. Haha!” “Hey!” I lunged at him. “Stop it! Give me that camera! Joshua! It’s not funny!” “Why? You made that face.” He dodged me deftly as he ran up the mountains. “You’ve been clicking my photos ever since we lef

24. Ship 333

[Carys](Present)I dropped my gaze from the marshmallows floating in the hot chocolate and placed my hand over my chest.That incident still created a warm knot in my chest that tightens and tightens until something inside me snaps. Destroys. I don’t know what it is that I lose every time Kian’s memories float back to me. But it makes me feel things as anew as I felt them back then. Everything that I shouldn’t have felt back then.But once again all of it is back and with such force that sways me right off my foot.I reached out for a roasted marshmallow, but my hands stopped on the way as tears flushed into my eyes.Shit!What the fuck! Why the fuck! Damn it!Only I know what I had lost to let go of him and his memories and all it took was a hot chocolate and some marshmallows to bring them all back. My heart clenched as I peered outside the window at the mountains.“Verity, can you take the hot chocolate away, please,” I said as I got up to draw the curtains. Revisiting old scars

25. Slaves and submission

[Carys]They took a completely unknown route, dropping off Verity at some random port before sailing out for Xafran again.The waves violently crashed against the ship, sending quakes with every drift.I had never felt so helpless ever in my life. My strength was nothing before the power of the wizard’s mind manipulation. When Nox erased Verity’s memory of their crew and the ship, I could move my lips slightly because his attention was on manipulating her mind.That’s when I realized Nox wasn’t using some extraordinary air magic to bind me. He was using a simple mind magic to make my mind believe that I was his captive. The kind of magic which might not even qualify as a middle grade magic, yet I was completely powerless against it.When we reached the shore, they covered my face with a black cloth and transported me to a van. From their talk, I could make out that they were going to sell me to some illegal slave distribution center. It was then I understood what King Elysar and Jack

26. Rush and Ruin

A/N: Readers discretion is advised.***[Carys]They tied my hands and legs with shackles on a metallic torture bed.Had those shackles been normal iron shackles, I would have easily broken them apart, but they were probably enchanted. I grunted, struggling to pull my hands out of the shackles. They hadn’t branded me yet because their boss seemed to have had a change of heart during the time I tried to fight against the hundreds of them on my own.He asked his wizards to catch me and put me in this place, which was nothing but darkness.Even with Zara’s vision, I couldn’t see a thing. It was a cold place where even the sound of my breaths echoed.I don’t know how long they kept me there, but that place was draining my energy as if it was sucking life right off my soul. Except for the shackles cutting through my skin around my wrists and ankles, it was quite peaceful. It was as if that pitch darkness was drugging my senses, putting me in a state where struggling seemed futile and

27. Doubts

[Kian] “You should be here. With her. She’s going to leave. You can stop her. Come on, alpha. You know how dangerous this can be for her. You can’t just let her walk into the mouth of a monster. We know Xafran better than anyone else. That place has rules, but laws? There are no laws. Those magic folks are insane,” Jackson spoke from the other side of the phone. “It’s her decision, her life. Who am I to interfere?” “Alpha. I know things have happened in the past, but I also know your heart…” “No, you don’t, Jackson. If she’s leaving, guide her to the safest route and make sure she knows what she’s getting herself into. That’s the most we can do for her right now.” “Maybe if she sees you in person and if you talk to her, maybe she’ll listen—” His words settled in my chest like a severe discomfort. “Be real, Jackson,” I said, sharply. “Then why did you save her?” “Because she called for me!” I controlled a frustrated yell. “I saved her for the peace of my mind because if I didn’

28. Auction

[Kian]Ever since the pirate ship arrived at the busy port, Snow White seemed to have lost Carys. She flew all over the crowd in circles until she soared above the clouds again.Snow White was now tailing two pirates. Not the very sightly ones.“They look like… Morana, Nox and their crew,” said Jackson, looking at the video of shabby taverns and streets crammed with pirates and locals. Snow White’s wings were transmitting the live video on my tablet. “Oh goddess. Don’t tell me they have Carys.”Did they kidnap Carys or have they been working for her all along?I had met those two several times in Xafran. They were quite famous in the illegal markets and underworld. They were the worst reputed smugglers because they could smuggle anything and anyone from the brightest to the darkest of corners. I had made a few trades with them.I directed a call to my men working in Xafran. I had restarted the investigation from where my father had left off. His old connections came in handy.“I want

29. A hunt with you

[Kian] “The cameras of the room aren’t working, boss,” Nalini spoke on my earpods. “Of course, they won’t. Ruin is there.” I said, driving to the motel as fast as I could. “R-Ruin? Boss sir… Ruin is here? The dark warlock? In our motel? Should I inform the authorities?” Nalini asked. “No. Just make sure he stays there until I arrive.” “Umm… well… ok, boss.” I had to be there before 12:15. I looked at my right palm. The red magic circle had started appearing on my palm. My knuckles turned white as I clenched the steering wheel in my hands. In about ten minutes, I arrived at my motel. Getting out of the elevator, I dashed towards the room where Ruin should have brought Carys. Nalini was pacing anxiously outside the room. She walked to me, taking every breath carefully, as if her one wrong breath could trigger the murderer in Ruin. “Boss sir…” she whispered. “What is going on? Why is he here? I-I…” I raised my hand, and she turned silent. Hiding my presence completely, I turne

30. His queen of hearts

[Kian] (Past) Just a poem. Carys took a trembling breath, her eyes fluttering as she peered at Kys as if she had committed a sin by writing those words on those pages. I don’t know about her, but the way I need her, regardless of every complexity that compels us to stay apart, feels like a sin. A sin that both of us knew we’d pay heavy for. It’s just a poem. She bit her bottom lip, allowing it to torturously tease my resolve to look away. But at that moment, I couldn’t avert my gaze, no matter how hard I tried. It was painful to not know the taste of her succulent lips. Just a poem. Her hair flowed in the soft winds as she tried tucking them behind her ear. Just a poem. She smiled as the cheers poured in. Even with all her mischiefs, she held a dignified aura and a subtle innocence that I yearned to ruin. I kept telling myself it was just a poem until she smiled brightly at all the campers… except me. For the first time since we had met, she avoided looking into my eyes. An
