Silver: I woke up the next morning, struggling and gasping for breath. Mila tried to calm me down after I was fully awake but I couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling I still had. “What happened?” Mila asked when I could finally control my breath. “I don’t know. I had a nightmare I think,” I said, the details of the dream flooding my memory at once. I had seen that wolf again, the magnificent silver one I had been told was mine. She had tried to speak to me but once again I was so scared I ran away. I was terrified of werewolves in their wolf form, how could I possibly connect with a wolf that was apparently now a part of me. “What was it about?” She asked and I wondered if I was ready to divulge the story, especially in front of the other girl. “I saw a wolf. A wolf I think is mine,” I said and there was silence. “Aren’t you a little too old to not know who your wolf is?” The girl asked derisively. “I heard hybrids get their wolves quite later in life. The body has to choose i
Silver: Now we were outside, I finally had the chance to put my plan into action. Since Mila didn’t know much of what had been happening on the inside, I knew I needed to find someone else and convince them to speak with me so that I would have something to tell the King when Terah would eventually return to take me back to him. Being outside was not as fun for the girls as I had hoped. Mila could move around although to a limit, but the other girl could only sit at a place and watch what was going on. She looked like she would deliver soon and after being confined in a room in a bed for the entirety of her pregnancy, being outside now was very difficult for her. Bringing them out here was another proof of my selfishness. I didn’t fight for them to be released because I felt so bad for them. I had done that just so I could meet up with other girls for information. However, I had no other choice and I was done hating myself for my choices. I had been able to kill two birds with one
Silver:“Already?” I asked. I couldn’t leave yet. I had just gotten such a small bit of information and I just had to know more. “We have to go,” the physician said again, this time more harshly than before. “Now.”“But I haven’t found out what the King sent me here to find out,” I protested. “If I leave now, then my whole reason for coming here would be useless.”He grunted in frustration, coming closer as if he wanted to grab me by my hand. He stopped at the last second, realizing it would be inappropriate. The matron was watching us both, and by us, I mean me. She was probably wondering why I would reject the offer to return to safety with the King, and because I had said I wasn’t done finding out what he sent me here to do, she was probably doubting if I was really on their side or not. It was when I saw the physician’s wild stare that I realized something was wrong. He was frowning at me very deeply and his chest was heaving as if he was trying to hold back his anger. Coming c
Silver:My heart was pounding, both from anger and from fear. Alpha Damon struggled to meet my eyes as guilt filled him, but I didn’t care about his guilt. I was concerned about what his guilt meant for me. He didn’t say anything in response to my question and as the minutes passed, my heart became made up against him. “Won’t you answer me?” I asked. “Can you even answer me?” I saw his face change, from guilt slowly into a hardened look. He gave me a steely look, and just then, I knew he was done trying to convince me. “I told Gwyddion not to tell you anything yet. I wanted to tell you myself,” he said and my eyes widened in disbelief. That was all he could say about this?“So you’re more bothered about how I found out than what exactly I found out?” I asked. ‘’What’s going to happen now, then. What’s going to happen now that I know.”He watched me with an expression I couldn’t name for a while before letting out the words that broke me. “I’ve already come this far. A lot is at st
Silver:“You let Gwyddion say all those things to me. You were willing to use me to achieve everything just to turn around and hurt me like this,” I whispered, too hurt to speak out loud. I hated Gwyddion even more. I hated all of them, everyone that had werewolf blood in them. “He was right about your destiny, Silver,” the King said. “Your destiny is here, with me. You can just open your heart and learn to be with me.” “Learn to be with you?” I asked him, hating more and more with every passing second. “If you won’t kill me, I will kill myself,” I threatened. He furrowed his brows. “You will do no such thing.” Before I could mutter another word, there was a knock on the door and as usual whoever was on the other side opened it and came in without waiting for an instruction to come in. It was Terah. He looked at me for a second as if he wanted to tell me something but moved his eyes immediately away and faced the Alpha. “Your Highness,” he greeted the King, lying on the floor b
Silver: Terah didn’t let me be even after he called Gwyddion for the King. “What do you want?” I asked him, standing by the door of my room so he wouldn’t enter. “I’m sorry for the way I’ve treated you in the past,” he told me, looking sorry for his actions. I rolled my eyes and didn’t bother to hide my true feelings from him. “I don’t need your apology. What I did makes no overall difference in how you see me so please just tell me whenever Beta Rogu is ready to take me back to my people,” I said, entering into the room and shutting the door in his face. The door didn’t close all the way through and when I looked down, I saw his foot was holding it back. He was determined not to let me go. “What do you want?” I asked, swallowing back fear. Now I had easily switched sides, I was scared anything could happen. What if this was their plan from the start and they didn’t want to fulfill their end of the bargain. I was scared. I remembered how easy it had been for Rogu to sacrifice
“Come in,” I said in a lackluster voice.The fact that he was not Terah did not make me regret speaking to him sharply. He had also always known about the plan to destroy my people, yet he decided to use me to save their own agenda. He didn’t deserve my respect either. “Hi,” Gwyddion asked, walking up to me. “May I sit?” He asked, pointing toward the bed. I glared at him. “What do you want?” He pressed his lips together when he understood that I planned to be cold to him. He looked awkward standing alone in the room, where he looked like he would break apart if he didn’t sit down soon, but none of that bothered me. “I just finished speaking with the Alpha and I must tell you, I understand how you feel,” he said, and it only made me angrier. What did he know? “Oh you do?” I mocked. “So you understand what it feels like to know that the people who have always been around you, convincing you to help them and lying about how special you are always had plans of destroying you and your
I woke up panting, with sweat all over my body. I had dreamed of that wolf again, my wolf. I hated dreaming about my freedom only to wake up yet again in captivity. Angrily, I picked the pillow underneath my head and tossed it on the wall. That stupid wolf had tried to convince me yet again to give up my freedom for no reason. I wished I could stop dreaming about her. No matter how much they tried to convince me otherwise, I wouldn’t believe she was real. Even if she was, she probably didn’t belong to me and was just a projection to make sure I stuck to their path. I didn’t know what time it was because I had shut the windows and curtains but I knew it was still day. I paced around the room like I usually did, frustrated at having to remain here. After roaming aimlessly around, I decided to leave the room so I wouldn’t go crazy thinking about everything that would annoy me in there. I was still in a sour mood, and all the inhabitants of the house knew why, so I was sure no one woul
