KIRA:I don’t know who suffered more from the attack between Bradley and me. Because we both look terrible at the moment.After the pack warriors had come around during the showdown between Bradley’s wolf and Kelvin’s, they had been able to handle the situation by subduing Kelvin’s wolf. But it took a lot before they were able to get that done even though they had come in their tens.Right after they had accomplished that, they took Bradley and me away from there while carting away with the struggling body of Kelvin who had been in his human form then. He was still not himself.The warriors had taken Bradley and me to the pack hospital which is where we both are now. The pack doctor had tended to our wounds already minutes ago now what we were made to do is rest so we could heal in time. It seems the claws that came with the possessed Kelvin had more than just ordinary swipes because it was taking time for either of us to heal.“That was your friend, wasn't it?” I hear Bradley ask, ta
REID:“We need to find a solution to your problem. We cannot keep letting you endanger the lives of others in this pack.” I say that with a bit of anger directed toward my beta seated right in front of me.It has been a week since the incident that had me having to put him down again. And for over a week, until yesterday, he was chained down to his bed. You could still see the scars that came with the silver chains used on his wrist. Must have hurt like hell.But I, for one, am not enjoying this. I should not be feeling endangered by the one I call my right-hand man. Literally makes no sense. How can I guarantee the safety of others when one of the problems comes from the one that should be assisting me in leading them?“I’m sorry, Reid,” he starts to say, reflecting soberness. “I wish I have a way of getting through this without putting the lives of others at risk but this is a tough call for me. The fact that I have no idea what is going on with me should be something I consider as
REID:“Why don’t you wait? Let me teach you a good lesson!” Hunter yells at the already retreated Diana.He was already up on his feet with the sole aim of going after her but I was quick to get up on my feet as well and then hit him square in the chest, sending him back down on his seat.It was a good thing that I sat this close to him or he would have acted as the dimwit that he always is and go make trouble for himself. I wonder when he is going to learn how to comport himself.“If you dare go after her, I will have your head!” I threaten him with a glare.He does not even look threatened by what I just did as he scowls right in my face and then looks away. It took a lot of willpower for me not to smack him right across the face.I do the right thing by looking away from him. Damn it was exhausting having to control a grown-up. Wonder when he will learn to put himself at bay because I would be sure to do that for him if this goes on like this.I was just about to reprimand him once
REID:I find Venice in her room about twenty minutes after my father left. Didn't even need to knock to get into the room because she left the door ajar.For a while, I stand at the entrance as I contemplated going over to sit beside her. She looked like she was thinking through a lot of things and I didn't want to meddle. But then I was here for a good cause.I eventually pushed myself to the bedside, taking a seat directly beside her. She doesn't even flinch or reacts to the fact that I've joined her and I stay quiet for a pretty long while until the courage to say something kicks in.“You sure about your decision?” is what I ask her. Trust me, I was not truly fine with speaking yet.She says nothing for such a long time that I thought she was going to ignore me totally. But then she speaks:“Why wouldn't I be?”I find myself nodding as if in understanding. Seems she has made up her mind about the whole thing before even confronting our father.I can't say I was a hundred percent in
“Damn it,” I curse under my breath after being unsuccessful in making a smooth jump over the high-up tree acting as a sort of barricade. Almost made me trip to the ground but I overcome the momentum... mainly because of the heavy footsteps I can hear coming from behind me.I’m not about to die now. Yeah, because one slip up could result in my death or anything related to that by those on my tail at the moment. If any of that happens to me today, I would only have myself to blame because I led myself into trouble. So much for trying to be good today.I’ve been on the run for minutes now. And that was after I was discovered lurking about the territory of those I shouldn’t have stepped my foot on. Well, my curiosity be damned because I wanted to see if I would sight something I had come across a few days ago when I had trespassed like I did today.So it happened that I had been on the hideout after trespassing that day. During the process of trying to not get discovered, something had ca
KIRA:I haven’t seen this many tattoos in a long time. The inkling on the man’s body was running down his neck and probably the rest of his body because every visible part asides from his face has inscriptions and symbols on it. If he wasn't clothed, I would be able to tell how much of the ink he possesses on his body.Of course, I recognize the man the instant he came into view. He was one of the symbols of authority of the territory I just saved my ass from through an intense escape. Although I must say this is the most closeup I have ever been to him.He is a beta, to be precise. Second only to the alpha, like every other territory.His aura proves how much force he carries about with him. Even with the distance between me and him, I could feel how much pressure he was generating. The pressure that could most likely suffocate me if I cross the line with him.The pressure and everything... I don’t give a shit about it. It’s not like he could do anything to me. Maybe.I wasn’t done t
REID:I’m starting to realize how much I hate paperwork. I’ve got a pile unattended to and I’m certain it will be that way until the motivation kicks in. As for the motivation, it doesn’t look like it’s going to come in anytime soon.Perhaps I should have joined the warriors to hunt down the intruder they told me about. It could have taken my mind off this tedious work. Wonder if they did catch the intruder because I haven’t heard anything from them yet since they began the hunt.Being the head has not been easy over the years. I have tried my best to emulate my father’s reign as alpha yet I do not seem to be getting the same result as him. Don’t know what I need to do to make it better.I suddenly feel a presence joining me through the open door of the study room I am in. As I am directly facing the entrance into the room, I have an instant view of who it is.“Hunter, you’re back,” I say to the newcomer who turns out to be my beta. The man with a lot of ink on his body that has had m
KIRA:“I think I’ve tried my best, Kira. I’ll be going back now to my duty post,” Bradley says as soon as we stop in front of the little building in sight. Looks like something that could only house a family of two or three. Apparently, it’s my house. And we are four living in it.“Thanks for fetching me as usual, Brad,” I tell Bradley with a huge smile on my face. The look he gives me tells me he is not buying my act. But I still decide to play along with it. “What?” I ask him.“Just get in. Your mom’s waiting for you,” was what he says and I give a playful nod in return as I turn to walk up the balcony into the quarters. “And don’t get yourself into any more trouble!” he calls out before I could reach the top of the mini stairway.“Yeah, yeah,” I force the words out of my mouth, already eyeing the door in front of me. I do not bother to knock before pushing it open to get myself into the apartment.The first thing my eyes catch sight of is a woman standing behind a table. The items
