Chapter Six Alexa's Point Of ViewWithout thinking twice, I turned in the opposite direction and started running for my life. The vampire was still holding onto the hem of my sleeve. "Why are you running?" He yelled after me but I didn't reply. I looked back to check if Master Raga was behind us and he actually was. I let out a yelp and increased my speed. The vampire must have noticed Raga so he left my sleeve and held my hand. "I have no choice but to do this right now." He told me as his grip on my hand tightened. "Bare with me," What other choice do I have? I nodded at him and faster than I could blink, he pulled me into his arms and took off with me at full speed. The wind blew harshly over my face and I held onto him tighter as his speed increased. It got to a point I couldn't see what was before me. It amused me how he could figure out where to turn to and pass. I could only hold onto him, close my eyes, and trust that he would take us to safety. Sometime later, I felt th
Chapter EightRaven Pack - Darco's PalaceRaga's Point Of View"What did you say happened again?" I remained on my knees and kept my head bowed even though his powerful steps approached. I felt his breath against my head, which told me he was bent to my height. I felt his finger under my chin and he tilted my head up with it. My eyes met his deadly gaze and I was tempted to let my head back down. "I...I found her," "But...?" He drawled, raising his brow. "She...I couldn't get to her. She was with someone. A man. I suspect he was the same man that took her away." "How did he look like?" "I couldn't see his face. He took off with Alexa the moment she sighted me. I chased them but..." I gulped as his face hardened. "I...I couldn't keep up," I concluded, lowering my gaze. "You are the strongest and fastest warrior in the pack, yet you couldn't keep up with a mere wolf?" "He...he wasn't a mere wolf. He is different. He was super fast. Unimaginably fast. I've never seen a wolf that
Chapter Nine Alexa's Point Of ViewThe vampire has been out for two days now. When we arrived two days ago, he ordered the maids to prepare dinner for me and he disappeared after that, promising to be back in three days. I've not been seeing his repulsing face for two days. Thank the moon goddess for that. He didn't leave me without making sure he kept all eyes on me. By all eyes, I meant Xena's eyes. He claimed she was here to protect me but I knew better. I don't think he knows I don't like this chic. Or he knows but he just finds joy in annoying me. I paused in my tracks and cast a glare at "my bodyguard"."What?" She questioned, returning my glare. "Don't you get tired of following me everywhere? I'm just going to take a walk," "Believe me, I detest this as much or probably more than you do." "Then.." "But alpha personally begged me to watch you." She smirked, probably feeling smug because her alpha 'begged' her. "Even if he didn't, I would have still kept a close eye on you
Chapter Ten Alexa's Point Of ViewJust then, something clicked in my head. Alexandra. He called me by my full name. Something I've never told him. "How did you know that?" I questioned, pushing my face towards his. He raised his brow in confusion. "You called me by my full name," I told him. "I've never told you my full name. There's no way you could have known that without anyone telling you," His expression was blank. He leaned away from my face and tucked his palms in his pockets. "There are many things about you that I know that even you don't," He said simply, confusing me the more. "What do you mean?" "You are my mate," he stated. "do you expect me not to know anything about my mate?" I frowned. "Well, I know nothing about you," I said, folding my arms, and his deep chuckle echoed in the room. "Because you chose not to," he said, maintaining eye contact. "I'm here, open like a book to you. Why don't you read me, huh?" He perused. Though it was hard, I diverted my gaz
Chapter ElevenAlexa's Point Of View"Clear the area. Ace." "Yes, alpha," "Make sure a proper funeral is made for this man," Akira ordered and Ace bowed. Looking away from Ace, he turned to little Isabella who was still weeping, clutching tightly to her father's hand. He bent to her height and took her small hands in his. "Isabella," he called softly. "Do you want to go home with me?" Issa sniffled, "the palace?" She asked, her voice trembling. Akira nodded, reaching to carry her. "Before your daddy left, he told me to take good care of you while he was away. Allow me to fulfill my promise." Isabella turned to me with tear-filled eyes. Her eyes were filled with uncertainty. "Your alpha is a good person, Issa." I can't believe I'm saying this. "he'll take good care of you." I assured her. She turned back to Akira and shifted timidly towards him. Akira opened his arms, inviting her to embrace him. Reluctantly, Isabella went into his arms and Akira picked her up. In a second, she
Chapter Twelve Akira's Point Of View"This point, this point, and here," Ace explained as he pointed to the coordinates on the country map. "Those areas reported at least seven similar cases to ours. First, they thought it was a wild animal." "After seeing two fang bites at the side of their necks?" Ace scoffed in disbelief. "They are not to be blamed, Ace. These guys are being fed by the vamps. They have always believed the vampires to be their savior," Riaz said. "Or rather, had no other choice but to believe." Ace chipped in. "I mean...these creatures know our weakness but we don't know theirs." Riaz turned to me. "You should know their weakness, right? I mean..." He lowered his voice. "you have a part of them in you," Yeah, these two know about what I really am. Including my mother. The pack members don't know. They just know I have more power than a regular werewolf and using this power, I protected them from predator packs. This made them not wary of my power but rather ac
Alexa's Point Of View"Where has your alpha gone to?" I asked a maid I ran into. After Akira and I parted, I haven't seen him all evening. My thought was that he was with Isabella so I am on the way to her room. "I don't know, my lady but my guess is that he has gone on a mission," I tilted my head sideways, "mission?" "Yes, my lady." She replied and bowed curtly before leaving. Mission? That means he's out of the pack, right? I turned back, ready to leave but then I remember Isabella. Is she still asleep? I turned in the direction of her room and went there. I knocked on the door gently but I got no reply. She must still be sleeping. Careful enough not to make a sound, I pushed the door open, only to find Isabella sobbing, her legs curled up. "Isabella," I called softly as I entered fully and shut the door. I went to her and made her raise her head. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was drenched in tears. "Isabella..." I pulled her to my chest and hugged her warmly. She wrap
Chapter fourteenAlexa's Point Of ViewThe security here was not as I expected. I expected strict security like Raven Pack's but I guess this pack is lenient. Well, no one has the cause to sneak out of such a loving pack like this. No one except me that is. "Gosh," my breathing was strained. I've been climbing a hill and I've finally got to the top. I looked back to behold the pack one last time. I've only spent a few days here but I feel like I'm leaving something so important behind. Is it Isabella? No, it's more than that. I turned forward to the journey that awaited me. It's late and freaking dark. A tiger could be behind me right now and I wouldn't know. Goosebumps rose across my back as the thought of tigers crept into my mind. Goddess, I plea. Make me not run into one tonight. I brought out my knife and started cutting my way through the thick bush. I should be out of here by morning. ***I have no idea how long I've been walking but I'm dang sure I've been walking for quit
