Esma’s pov
“Calm the fuck down all of you.” Dumeny roared for the first time and all of a sudden, the room fell in the absolute silence. Every one of them, stood attentively to bear the command of an alpha, including me.
“We are surely outnumbered but we can’t look out from the fact that we are facing mere rogues.” He said and all of them started murmuring among themselves. He was right. Wolf without a pack is just like a blade without its edge. A blunt knife to be more precise.
We wolves are powerful in packs but whenever we went rogue, our power started to diminish, the sense of sight and smell, the ability to transform back into human, all started to get lost and in no time, we become monsters without any control or our will.
I stepped up to look at the faces of the people who were risking their lives alongside ours. “All of you, every one of you is forged in the fire of intense battles and hard trai
Hello Lovely People! So much have happened while Reed was away, Ravenna have planned it all along or was it a mere coincidence? Leave a review, next update will be tomorrow. Until then, Danish
Reed’s pov I make my way through the corpses. One by one, body from body I walked through them. I didn’t look at the faces who dared tried to face me moment ago and eventually enveloped in the arms of death. They were not meant to die here, not by my hands, not for that fucker. “Stop where you are, mutt!” I lifted my head to look at the faces of the guards protecting the main gate of the castle. I have already killed the hundred since I entered inside his pack. The most powerful pack of the world. Blacklaw pack. “Don’t come in my way, run and I will spare your life.” I growled and threw my clock aside to turn in my wolf. I make sure my weapon was secured in my clothes, the one I paid a hefty price for. “Now!” the guard at the front commanded and the sky covered in absolute darkness, it took me a second to register what he was up to. They have surrounded me already.
Reed’s pov“Alpha?” I groaned internally but for some reason I feel too tired to open my eyes. There is only pain. My head, my chest . . . burning pain. My side, my arm. Pain. Pain and hushed words in the gloom. Where am I? Though I try, I cannot open my eyes. The whispered words become clearer . . . a beacon in the darkness.“His left and right ribs are severely bruised and he had a hairline fracture at the right side of the skull but he is healing faster and most of his injuries are already healed.“Then why is he still unconscious?”“He will wake when he is ready. Just give him some time.”“Any news on Miss Rockwood?” the words were anguish, breathless.“I can’t find her. I don’t know where she is, I tried the finding spell but as if she is totally disappeared from the world.” Now, I recognised that voice. it was Diana’s. the f
Esma’s pov Darkness engulfed me. It was the same kind of darkness one would have witnessed during a long slumber, or death. Death? Am I dead? I don’t know. This is oblivion. At least it felt good. It’s peace, in oblivion, in emptiness, without any worry, without any fear. It was just me now. no one to bother me, no one to hurt anyone. I could float in this abyss of nothingness forever. “And what about me? about us?” my breath hitched hearing that familiar voice of a man. I hear it so many times, calling me, pulling me towards it. I can’t put my finger where I heard it. deep down, my heart was earning to hear it again and again. “Kitten.” It calls to my deepest depths of my heart again and this time I tried to move. Who is it? who’s calling me? “It’s time to wake up Esma.” this time he called me by my name and my heart thundered. “REED?” the name automatically left my lips and all the memories gushed back like the thund
Esma’s pov“Now.” she reverted her gaze to the window, i peeked through my lashes to see it was now evening. “I suppose we should talk. I am very curious from the first time I had laid my eyes on you.”Long hair, strong smell of old shampoo, a lame beige cardiogram across her neck, natural style and almost impossible to notice makeup. She truly is beautiful, almost perfect and perfectly evil.I am not getting a good feeling about this. She reverted her gaze to my hands as I placed them on my lap cautiously. They were finally free but my legs were still tied. I can tell a lot is going in her mind at the same time too. Just like me.I have hundreds, no at least thousand questions for her to answer and by the look in her eyes I can tell she feels the same. but why? What does she want? I heard the footsteps chafing on the ground and my ears peeked up, is this her next move or something? She bough
Reed’s pov “Again.” I growled. Asher looked light of breath but still managed to stood on his feet. Asher was somehow saved from the accident as the truck directly hit my side, I took all the damage. The impact was so brutal, he ended up falling out from the window, I am glad he was alive, he was out for a day before his injuries started to get heal. I was out for a week. What Diana told me, it was a human who hit us. And he didn’t know at the first place why or what he was doing there at the first place. I snapped back from my senses as I got punched square on my face. dammit I was careless again to let my guard down. Asher go for another punch and I dodged it this time by an inch. I backed down a little to catch him off guard and before he could emphasise my next move I pulled his arm and rotates it in a lock. “Again.” I growled again as I pushed him on the ground. me and him are practice non stop from 4 in
Esma’s pov My mother taught me long ago how to interact with others as an alpha, how to read the room in worse case scenarios and hopefully coming with a good strategy to turn back the odds in our favour. It is not some complex trial and error method, just a trick. One simple trick to know about someone. Simply, if you want to know about someone just piss them off. “Emmy the best way to know about someone is what get them angry on the first place.” My mother’s words resonate in my numb ears. I guess her words of wisdom have done the trick here as well. I have to thank her for sure later, If I made it alive from here. I hit the nail right on the spot. I can tell Ravenna is pissed when I mentioned Reed but she tried her best to conceal the truth that she is trying her best not to snap my neck. The single thought is terrifying yet exciting. I am all in to push my luck. “Tiring, isn’t it? After all of your hard work and still someone bossed you around?” she cracked her neck tiredly
Esma's povWhat the hell is this place? This is beyond creepy. My heart was one minute away from busting through my rib cage. This place is scary as it gets. And darker. I looked up to see the moon but it was nowhere to be found. Strange. I remember seeing the moon light falling through the window back in dungeon where I was kept hostage. Hostage? I wonder what am I in this situation? I found myself out of breath as my mind starts thinking of the worst scenarios. Here, standing in this place, breathing with my nose was getting difficult with every breath. My throat was burning from the intense awful smell of dead and it was only getting stronger. It was suffocating me.We both walked through the alley and soon find ourselves in front of a big rusty gate of the graveyard. Wait was she really serious about the witch's graveyard? I gulped loudly readying myself for whatever the fate throws in my way. This is not a place I would ever like to visit alone, not particularly in night hour
“Mate?” I groaned as I heard the familiar voice whispering in my ear. “Mate!” I tried to move my eyelids to see, tried to move myself to the owner of the voice. it was like my hands were tied to something. Despite how much I tried to unbind myself I can’t move.“You have to open your eyes or you’ll fell to this darkness.” I heard another voice. this time it was of a woman. Again, the familiar one. It was not soothing and calming like the one before but stern and cold.“Here.” I feel my hands free fr4om the binding and th3e warmth engulfing me, embracing me. my skin feel warm. I feel the light and opened my eyes finally. As I thought, the light cleared my thoughts. I recognized the voices. First one belonged to the only person I love. Reed. Second belongs to the one who’s responsible for sending me to this hell I don’t know where I am the first place.Just where the hell I am? I asked aloud. No response. I tried to take in my surrounding, but it was no use. It was like a thick fog was
