AZALEA'S POV“Well, someone missed your sarcasm,” Brantley walked back into the kitchen. He looked much better than when he left the kitchen.“I JUST thought that,” I giggled at the scariness of the situation.“What did you expect? Great minds think alike,” he winked.“Ah, so that’s what it was,” I continued to laugh.“Yep! I hear people getting up, so unless if you want to encounter them, we should leave now,” he suggested. My first thought was Clayton.It was enough to get me into action.“Let us be gone!” I announced dramatically.He chuckled and shook his head and led the way out. I was actually excited to see everything now that he was going to be showing me around. I glanced at him and I could tell that he was appreciative of this day out. It was definitely better than spending the day moping. I have to find out more about his situation with Bentley. I was brought out of thought when we reached the garage.The cars here are built like the ones on Earth, but it was obvious to see
CLAYTON’S POVI heard the birds chirping outside and I was drowned by a sweet scent. I opened my eyes to find myself in an unfamiliar room, until the scent registered in my mind. I was in Azalea’s room, and she was nowhere in sight. I tried to listen out for her, but I heard nothing.That’s strange.It actually bothered me that she left before I woke up, and yet I was also thankful she saved us the awkward encounter. That’s probably what her intention was when she left. I got up and headed to my room unnoticed. I could hear the different people in the house getting up.I headed to my bathroom and got ready for the day, dressing in simple jeans, a t-shirt and sneakers. By the time I headed downstairs, I could hear Ariel singing as she made everyone breakfast. I don’t know why she’s always felt the need to do that. None of us actually force her to, but she insists it brings her joy and ‘gives her something to do’.“Good morning Alpha,” she smiled as soon as I walked into the kitchen. Sh
HUGH’S POVEdgar hadn’t divulged the results of his findings yet as he was waiting for me to come to a decision. Emily wanted my daughter exposed, but no-one listened to her because everyone at base knew that Shay was MY baby girl. I wouldn’t let them expose her until I knew what the implications of that would be.It had been a rough couple of days. They’d tried everything to run Shay’s blood, but they got the same results every time. Her blood doesn’t want to reveal anything. On top of that, it’s turned silver. We didn’t know what that meant, but it sure was the talk amongst the lab team. You could tell that they were itching to share their experience with the world.“You really do believe that she’s not from this world huh,” Edgar’s voice brought me out of thought.I nodded. “I may have had my suspicions.”“Did you tell her about being adopted?” he asked.Again I nodded. “I told her the night she left.”“Wait! So, you knew she was leaving?” he asked wide-eyed.“Again, I had my suspi
HUGH'S POV“You could die,” I pointed out.Pixie smiled. “I have a feeling we won’t.”“The moment they glow when you’re near them, you come back out,” Edgar warned them. I guess he was curious about their confidence.“Got it!” they nodded.Instead of sending them both in at the same time, we sent Cyrus in first. Once more, the movement around the room had stopped as we all watched him approach the devices. They didn’t glow, so Edgar opened the individual holding boxes.Cyrus did the same thing that Shay did by testing out all the devices. He even had the same reaction she had to the last one, dropping it on the ground, and then looking at it like it was showing him some information. By now, Edgar and I were itching to find out what it told him. He picked it up, put it back and returned to us.“What did it say?” I asked him.“It doesn’t know my name or my origin. It knows my age, height, hair colour, eye colour, who my parents are and that I have no siblings. According to the blood cat
HUGH'S POV“I can only assume that Simiyan turned Azalea’s wolf into a baby so that the two would grow up together and that Azalea wouldn’t shift in this world. The consequences would’ve been great, and so they grew up as twins,” Liza explained her theory.“Well, that would explain why Kay morphed into a wolf and the light went into Shay’s chest. Kay and Shay are one person, and Kay was merely returning where she belongs,” Pixie commented.“What are you talking about?” Liza and Hogan asked.“When Kay disappeared, she led Shay to a waterfall. She said that it was time for her to leave and that they would be together again soon. She morphed into a wolf and dived off of the cliff before a light rose from the water and entered Shay’s chest. She said her senses enhanced after that and her eye colour changed to fiery colours,” I informed them.“She has her father’s eyes. Kay was definitely her wolf from what you’re saying. You say she’s crossed the barrier?” Hogan asked. We nodded.Liza sig
BRANTLEY’S POVIt had been nine days since that day, and I didn’t know what happened to Clayton and Azalea. I knew that Clayton took her to Beast’s cave, but Titus and I hadn’t been able to access it. He’d locked us out, which made me double worried for Azalea. Firstly, she took the evil out of me, and now it’s in her.Secondly, the full moon was two days ago, and I didn’t know if Beast hurt her or not.I was brought out of thought when two hands gripped my shoulders. From the tingles that shot through me, I immediately knew who it was. I was surprised honestly since I was laying on my bed and she was straddling my back. I groaned when she kneaded the one knot that was bothering me most.“You’re tense Brantley, and you’re not sleeping,” she whispered. I was surprised by the concern in her voice.I’d avoided Bentley like Azalea had told me to because I wanted her to take all the time in the world that she needed before facing me. It had been a rough couple of days for me considering ev
BRANTLEY'S POVIt was a question I really needed to ask because this was our reality. I didn’t know anything about the evil except that it haunted me for a long time and it had it out for Bentley the most.“From what I gathered, it’s out for me the most, and I’m going to guess that it’s because it knew that we were mates before we did, but I refuse to let it get the best of us. You want to be with me and I want to be with you. We’ll fight it,” she smiled, caressing my cheek. She was still laying on me.“You promise?” I whispered. She leaned down and kissed me again.“I promise,” she replied.We spent the rest of the morning together, getting to know each other. It turned out that we knew the basics about each other, based on the observations we'd made in the past. I was more than happy that she was giving me a chance to prove myself worthy. We separated for a while, just so that we could each go and get ready for the day. We met up again in the hallway and she was wearing a beautiful
BRANTLEY'S POV When Clay and I found out that we were suddenly millions richer, we spent it on building this place up. He knew of the regret I had for hurting Bentley, so he allowed me to build this diner in memory of her since we didn’t think we’d see them again. It very quickly became the most popular place for people to come. It turns out people are crazy about Bentley’s favourite foods. I only employ the best people as Bentley would’ve wanted. The only thing the place is missing is her favourite music since I didn’t know that. “I can’t believe it!” she whispered. Recognition seemed to have dawned on her as the tears shone in her eyes. I hugged her from behind. “Believe it babe.” She turned to face me. “How did you know?” “I overheard you speaking to your dad about this place when you were ten. I didn’t think I’d ever see you again, and since I lived with the regret of knowing what I did to you, I figured that opening this place would serve as a great reminder of you for me,”
