Chapter 5

Lola's Pov

With a draggy step, I moved to the door of the sitting room and locked it before heading up to my room. Three steps up the stairs, I felt my head bang so hard. The scene of the heartbreak and rejection from Torian hit me again, and I cried out, scurrying up to bury myself under my duvet.

I hate myself for meeting him for the first time.

Slamming the door in frustration, I kicked off my boots and leaped to slump on the bed when I heard a creepy grunt right outside my window.

My brows arched, and fear crept in, as it was getting dark already, and I was alone in the house.

What was that, then?

As my heart thumped louder inside my chest in fear, I remembered I would be a hunter soon and needed to be brave, so I shoved off the fear and bolted to the window, rolled off the curtain and peeped through. I searched around and couldn't see anyone until I looked downwards.

My jaw dropped, with shudders running up and down my spine as every part of me stiffened in horror. I couldn't bel
