BLAKE'S POVBlood.Murder.I felt beads of sweat drip down my spine, soaking up my shirt as I paced my room angrily.My blood was boiling in rage, and all I could see was red.I needed to snap some bones and shed blood, especially those fools who dared to harm my mate.The panic I felt when I saw her in danger was something I couldn't explain.I didn't know what pulled me to the market earlier. All I knew was that I needed to get there, and I had left Max and Lock in the middle of work and ran out, following my very strong instincts which led me to Lora.She was seriously in danger. Of course she told me before, I saw the letter sent to her in my presence. But I never thought that it would get to this point real soon.Why were they wolves after her life?.Why would someone have to kill her?No matter how hard I think, I could not think of any reason. Lora had no friends, so she couldn't have enemies.Although she had mentioned once or twice about her strained relationship with the re
LOLA'S POVThe sun this particular morning was not merciful at all. Scorching angrily, just like my feelings.Despite the AC in the room, I was still sweating, although I could not tell if it was the heat from the sun or the heat from my anger."You need to calm down, Lora," Sophia said, her eyes on the crotchet she was knitting, but I ignored her, still rummaging through the box on her bed. "Lora….""I need to find it, it has to be here somehow," But I've been searching for minutes, box after box, yet I couldn't find what I was looking for.My Mother's Diary."Maybe it's not," Sophia Said, but I didn't want to believe her.My mother had kept all her treasures hidden in these five different boxes and had given me the keys. I'm sure that somehow, if I find her diary there would be something written in there about me.Like why I had to be treated as an outcast in my own home and why werewolves would want to kill me.My heart squeezed as I recalled the attack from the day before. I was
Lora's POV"Are you okay, Lora?" Jane asked, touching my chin, "I heard everything that happened. I am so sorry,"She has been gushing all over me since the moment I got to their apartment."I'm fine, Jane,""Those werewolves will forever remain backstabbers," Jared cut in, "Once they see something stronger than them, they attack and try to get rid of it. It's nauseating," I had no idea if my strength was the case here. But I really hope it isn't. Ever since I was a child, I have been different. Had superior strength, speed and senses.Would they really feel threatened because of my abilities? Well I never considered that option.I gave Jared a half smile, grateful that at least, I had people who were supporting me, concerned and looking out for me.It felt really beautiful. And strange how I felt quickly at home here."She is one of them too," Sarah said walking into the sitting room with a frown. Of course she had to ruin the warmth, "Once a werewolf Always one. When you aren't lo
"Are you sure this is going to work?,""It has to. We just have to be very very careful and fast too. It has to work Lora""Let's see,"."Trust me. Just do your part and we will handle the rest,"My head was pounding as I took the stairs to my room carefully avoiding the suspicious gaze of a few of the guards I passed by.After the day I just had, what I needed was a good sleep before I could even think of what to do next.Of course I knew what to do. We had spent the last thirty minutes planning and revising our plans.It was very clear in my head. I was just still very shaken at the revelation I had gotten earlier.All these while, it had always been Yvonne?Why I never suspected that was still a big wonder to me. Why didn't I suspect this earlier?It was right there in front of me. Always have been.But I've always thought that Yvonne's hatred for me was just your typical Step mother to daughter hatred. Not enough to want to kill me.But what did I expect from a power hungry woman
Blake's Pov:"I honestly don't see why we still have to involve ourselves in this. We already found who is after her, let her deal with it herself,"I turned to give Sarah a glare and she snapped her mouth shut immediately, her eyes darting around the room nervously.I wasn't in the mood for one of her bull shits at the moment.Although I also do not blame her for how she feels.The Werewolves really did a number on us and she was amongst the ones who actually suffered most because of it.She had every right whatsoever to despise them, I do. But I wouldn't appreciate her questioning my decisions."Blake have spoken and that's final," Lock chipped in slowly, his eyes still on the painting he was doing, "You don't get a say,""Well I guess we have to , If that's what it takes to keep her out of our lives for good. Once everything is settled, Blame could finally reject her,"Ahn, that.I've not even thought about that for the past few days.Lora and I had a deal, we both did.And now she
LORA'S POVMy eyes widened, and I'm very sure my face showed how shocked I was at the moment.What did I just hear?.Were my ears deceiving me or what?"What?" I whispered.Blake's hard eyes softened as he took a few steps closer to me, and placed his hands on my shoulders squeezing them lightly."I know we had this agreement that we are supposed to sever our bond. But I don't want that anymore," He Said again and he really looked serious, "These past few weeks with you have been more than amazing Lora. You made me feel thinds I never knew I'd feel, I got to see you, know you and I decided that it wasn't fair for me to keep judging you based on your people's actions. You are totally different. And I'd love to give us a chance. A fresh chance. I have no reason to hate you, technically you aren't a werewolf,""Yeah about that…." I murmured because we haven't had the time to actually discuss it. I remember vividly coming here, with so much anger boiling in me, because this was the only pl
LORA'S POVThe shock I was feeling must have been reflected on my face because Yvonne burst into laughter and shook her head before snatching the pictures from my hand."You, my dear, have been a very naughty naughty girl," She said, still laughing.My chest rose and fell as I stared at her with heat. I could feel my blood boiling in rage not just at her but at Sarah too for this snitching. What exactly was her problem with me?Was she that desperate to get rid of me? That she would take my secret to my enemy?"I have to say you are a clever one. No one ever detects the Lycan stench on you. Maybe they found a way to hide their scent or something," Yvonne murmured, with a thoughtful expression.I tried my best to keep an indifferent composure. I'd be damned to show her how much she affected me right now, so I would never dare that."I'm sure you must feel so good about yourself right now Yvonne, thinking you now have some leverage over me," I whispered, and smiled "But trust me you don
LORA'S POVHours after dinner, I sat on the edge of my bed, staring blankly at the floor. My mind was racing with both fear and uncertainty. My mind, no matter how much I tried to deny it, kept going back to Yvonne and her visit earlier.As much as I had tried to be indifferent, I was still scared of what would happen if my father eventually finds out about Blake.As the Alpha of the pack, my father had always been strict when it came to pack rules and traditions. As werewolves, our duty was to prioritize our pack over anything else.I sighed and ran my fingers through my tangled hair, feeling helpless and alone. I wished I could confide in someone right now. But Blake already promised that he would be here tonight so I had to make doI knew that I couldn't keep my relationship with Blake a secret forever, but I didn't know how to approach my father about it. I had seen how he had reacted in the past when pack members had gone against his wishes. It was never pretty. I was lying
