As Cyrus stepped and stood rooted at the entrance of the morgue, he balled his fist in repudiation of the painful memories forcing their way through his head. With the chilly air of the cold room feeding off his sanity, Cyrus managed to step inside with the doctor and a drawer which has his lover’s name was pulled out.Staring at Clarissa’s body which had been pulled out for him to see, he saw that it was really her in the flesh. He couldn't believe it. Clarissa was dead; she looked so peaceful that he didn't want to even touch her. For fear that she might spring up and start screaming for the injustice that she has suffered from loving him.The more he tries to shake off the thoughts, the tighter his chest gets."You killed me. You monster. Your curse killed me." he could hear Clarissa’s voice in his head."I'm so sorry!" He mumbled more to himself with guilt-stricken tears. He raised his hand to touch her innocent face, to feel the warmth of her skin once more but unfortunately, sh
"Stop this!" Gabriella cried out running to separate them but unfortunately, she got hit by a forceful shot from Luther sending her down the field with a scratch and bruising her. Maya cried out in shock but remained rooted to a spot, more tears streamed down because she couldn’t rush over to help Gabriella. The two strongest species are fighting and she might not survive getting between them."Damn it!" Koel cursed shifting to his lycanthropy form. He howled at the wind so loud that it rippled through the air and into his brother's obstinate hearing.The duo was about to pounce on each other again when they heard the howling forcing them to a stop.Now gaining their attention, Koel watched them turn to face him, their anger dying down as they realized what they had done.Maya, seeing the wolves not fighting ran towards Riella to help her up as she held her wounded shoulder, blood dropping on the cold ground."I can't believe you guys. All of you are fucked up!" Maya yelled with confi
"I can't stay here anymore," Gabriella said to Andrew who had just finished patching up her wound. "What the hell do you mean by that?” Maya sat upright in disbelief.“Are you thinking of leaving? Where to? And what about me?" She asked, taken aback by her friend’s abrupt decision."You can't come with me Maya it is not safe. I think it’s just me, I need to be away from the brothers for a while. You understand me right?” Gabriella said, eyes brimming with tears that she’d been holding back for a while.“After everything that I have gone through, I need to have a bit of freedom and peace somewhere far away from them. I need to leave so that they can settle their differences." She said breaking down into tears."Leaving?! That seems too much." Andrew says with a convincing look.Riella smiled at him."Let's just think of it as a vacation that I decide after all the beating you gave me in practice." She said as a small smile could be seen on his face probably remembering those times."W
Gabriella was ready to leave, her bags were already in the trunk and she had said goodbye to everyone. After much argument about her taking strong werewolves as bodyguards and Riella refused, they later settled with human bodyguards. Riella was dead certain that she didn't want to do anything with the supernatural at all if she couldn't help it. After all, that was why she was stuck here in the first place. She wanted to have a wolf-free life for a while burying all her responsibilities and problems."You should talk to Cyrus. Tell him that you are leaving as well. He very much deserves to hear it from you" Luther said to her.She froze; “What?" She asked, not sure that she heard him well. Sure she expected Koel to be the one to say it but it was Luther of all people.The one who didn't want her near Cyrus at all or hated that they were mates."You heard me the first time," Luther said rolling his eyes, not going to repeat himself. He was already furious at himself for suggesting eve
"What kind of bastard would kidnap Gabriella of all people?" Luther snarled with anger as he stared at the dead bodies of his men sprawled on the floor. The cops had already coordinated the place off as yellow tapes could be seen all around the place."And why didn't I give her werewolves bodyguards instead? Why was I so at peace I conceded that human beings would suffice." He mumbled to himself, regret seeping to the surface.Koel who was still trying to assess the situation walked closer to Luther,"Don't beat yourself up, this was a planned attack. And whoever is behind this needs her alive as a hostage or we would have seen her dead body among the rest. Cyrus is already talking with his friends who can help us with this. The cops want to take an official statement from you since you are legally her husband. Pull yourself together." He said as Luther took a deep breath and exhaled just as the cop made his way towards them."Good afternoon Mr Luther and Mr Koel Reigns. I take it th
Cyrus was burning with rage as he carefully dropped Riella in the back of his car before covering her up with his jacket. He had to get to the hospital quickly so that she could be looked after.Getting in the car, he thanked the lucky stars that he had paid attention to that faint tug that pulled him across the forest just to see Riella collapsing on the ground, exhausted, and left for death.Clenching his teeth and willing himself not to do anything stupid, he started the car and drove out of there before dialing his brother's number. He needed to tell them what the latest news was.Koel picked up quickly as he spoke,"You said you would call when you are done investigating a hunch you have. Are you done?" Koel’s voice rang out from the other end of the call. Cyrus glanced back at Riella who was unconscious and replied,"I found her. I'm bringing her to the hospital too so you and Luther will have to meet me there?""What the fuck....tell me you are not joking. Did you find her? Ho
The car ride was awkward, to say the least. Cyrus was focused on driving back the same road he came from while Luther was scrolling through his phone without a care in the world. But to Cyrus that felt different.He felt like something was entirely wrong with this whole situation and he was trying to solve it."Don't think hard I don't want you to hurt yourself," Luther said out of the blue getting Cyrus to look at him with a frown on his face."What are you looking at?" Luther muttered to himself while typing a message on his phone which made him smile and had Cyrus suspicious of it."Who the hell are you talking to right now?" He said as Luther looked up from his phone shrugging his shoulders."A friend... Lisa. I'm meeting her after we are done with this." He said and Cyrus frowned."A date? What about Gabriella? We just got her back. We need to be with her right now and you are abandoning it so you can go on a date?" He asked again but Luther could not see anything bad about it."
Maya was seated on the bedside chair in the hospital room with Gabriela’s hand in hers, holding it softly and with hope as she waited for her to wake up. The last few days had been terrifying for her and she was surely thinking the worst. The doctor had said that all wounds would heal up and she would be good as new but Maya was still worried. Luckily the hospital they took her to was run by the werewolf council so almost all doctors and nurses werewolves.Maya sighed as she said,"Things have been crazy around here. You really need to wake up. I don't know if I can do this without you. Okay?!" She said placing a kiss on her forehead and just then she heard Riella groan with a squeeze of her brows.Pulling back in excitement, Maya watched as she saw Riella open her eyes.Trapped in a haze, she squinted her eyes to adjust to the light now exposed to “Where... where am I?" She mumbled before she sat upright looking scared as Maya hurried to her side."You are alright Riella, you’re sa
