Chapter 119Kendall’s POVI walked around the market searching for things to buy on the list Mom gave me. It took me a while because it had been a long time since I was here, things had changed and I almost didn’t recognize them anywhere.I didn’t want anyone to suspect anything about me because I knew the situation of things here might not be exactly how I left it. Even when I was still here, I held a position that didn’t allow me to do things like this.I never went to the market to tend to my needs as I always had maids who were there for my every bidding. Life was so easy then and things weren’t tough.It was so surprising how fast things could change from using rosy and then not being rosy. Ever since I ran away things have been very tough for me but I only did that to survive. I would have been killed if I stayed in the dungeon.I didn’t know who it was that hated me that much to want my head but he or she was getting a good impact on the Alpha. I feared my head and not being a
Chapter 120Declan’s POV“I want her posted everywhere in this Pack, from the market to the houses to the villas, and make sure the Price reward is there too,” I said with a very stern tone on my face.My guards aligned in front of me collecting orders from me because I didn’t want them slacking off. Time was going and I had a feeling that she was around here. I just felt it and I didn’t want her escaping from my grip once more.“Okay sir, are pictures are already everywhere necessary but we haven’t gotten any news from anyone claiming they’ve seen her around.” One of the guards uttered.“I know she’s around here and doesn’t leave all the work or the Pack members, they are just meant to be nothing but our plan b. You’re also meant to stand guard and look out for her.” I said with a serious countenance on my face.I just knew Kendall was around here and she would have seen those posters, I just hoped she wouldn’t do anything drastic before I got to her.I was so desperate at this point
Chapter 121Kendall’s POVWe finally set out and it was a huge decision we had to make. We had to contemplate it. We were overreacting because putting away everything we just got was a lot.It took a lot for me to come to terms that this wasn’t my fault: I mean I was the one causing all of these inconveniences for my family. I didn’t want to see them going through trouble and one way or the other I was adding to it.I knew everyone was tired and frustrated but I couldn’t help but think this was all my fault. If he wasn’t on my trail, this wouldn’t have happened. At least we would have been able to settle in a little bit.I knew mom spent all she had on the house we just left and she couldn’t earn anything from it. At least it would take some time for us to get a Buyer and the money would be sent to us eventually.I knew she had no means of setting any bills and I was out of money too. Things were turning out for the worse and I felt I let my family down already. I knew it all wasn’t
Chapter 122Kendall’s POVI looked closely to be sure that I wasn’t hallucinating and there was actually someone In Front of me, an old woman and she just spoke to me.I looked around to be sure this was happening and it was then I noticed my mom was still awake.I moved over to her in fear of what was happening, she immediately held me into her arms as the both of us watched the woman closely.I was startled when I heard her speak because she looked so frightening and shaggy that it sent me back immediately.Mom was also scared as we both watched the woman closely hoping she’ll come back to her senses and go away. I had no business with her whatsoever and I didn’t know her so how did she find us?Were we being followed? Was this a trap?I didn’t know what to do as I kept on looking at Mom who seemed clueless too. She just held me in her hands as we both waited for something to happen.We waited for a while and she still stood there.“I think you should talk to her, I don’t think she’
Chapter 123Declan’s POVI was in my study room, carefully packing a few important books I might need for the journey ahead. The weight of uncertainty loomed over me, but I had no choice.Answers awaited me, and I was determined to find them. As I slipped the last book into my bag, the study door creaked open, and Caden, walked in, a sealed letter in his hand.“Declan,” he said, his voice tense. “You need to see this.”I took the letter from him, breaking the seal with a sense of curiosity. The contents were exactly what I feared. It was another threat from our enemies, promising to end our entire generation and bring war to our doorstep. My blood boiled as I read the words, anger surging through me like wildfire.“Those bastards,” I muttered, crumpling the letter in my fist. “They think they can intimidate us with threats?”Caden stood firm, his expression serious. “What’s the plan, Alpha?”I took a deep breath, trying to channel my anger into determination. “We prepare. We train har
Chapter 124Kendall’s POVIt was night already and we knew we couldn’t continue the journey so we decided to lay out the tent and spend the night there.I was tired already and I was sure the same applied to my mom and sister too. We brought out our tent and then sat down ready to spend the night and continue our journey the next day:The atmosphere was damp and quiet because we didn’t have anything to talk about. I of all people was mad at Mom for what she said. She could be pushing me into danger all in the name of what an old woman said calling her a seer.We were this close to safety and I wasn’t willing to lose everything by going back then being killed and everyone I loved too. I wasn’t going to talk to her till she apologized to me.When the tent was all set we went in and secured the area around it. I sat there calmly and we just watched each other’s faces while my sister ate dinner. Who was going to blame her? She was starving and didn’t have time for all of this unnecessary
Chapter 125Kendall’s POVTerrified, I dropped him and ran back to the tent but my mom and sister were nowhere to be found.“Mom?” I called out.“Are you there?”I sighed, getting scared by the seconds. “Where are you?”I thought I felt this might be a joke and her way of punishing me because of the way I spoke to her but I didn’t think that was it. There was no sign of her and how come I didn’t hear anything?I wanted to come back and tell Mom about the mysterious man that died at my hand and all that. I was already changing my mind because his last words tallied with what that woman said.I didn’t know if I was supposed to believe it or if it was still a trap but if it was it was becoming too believable and I was starting to believe all of this was real.Maybe there was war coming and I might be the only one to stop it, the more I delayed the more people got hurt.All of this didn’t make sense to me yet, it just wasn’t adding up. If there was going to be a war or something, why me?
Chapter 126Declan’s POV I wandered through the small town’s quiet streets, my mind racing with thoughts of Kendall. I had to find her, and more importantly, I had to make sure she didn’t run off the second she saw me.It was a delicate balance.I didn’t want to appear desperate or aggressive as she would think, but I also needed her to know that I cared, that I still loved her.After grabbing a quick coffee at a local café near the woods, I decided to go out further, towards the outskirts where the town met the forest.Kendall always loved the serene beauty of nature, and I had a feeling she’d seek refuge close by. As I went, I turned onto a narrow, winding road leading deep into the forest. The tall trees formed a canopy overhead, filtering the sunlight into patterns on the ground.I couldn’t help but think of the countless times Kendall and I had talked about the forest together on our good days. The forest had always been her sanctuary, a place where she felt at peace. Maybe that
