Chapter Forty-EightAtlas PovPlease be okay. Please be okay. These words echoed in my mind as we raced through the forest grounds. Ares was right next to me, as we raced through. We need to get there on time, even with Ayesha going on ahead, it was never enough assurance for us to hold unto. We reached the main road leading to the town when we heard the sound in the distance, we halted and turned to yourself, there was something going on far off. We had to get there and fast.Gunshots. That's the sound we heard. No one was allowed to use gunshots, the only set of people that could boldly use guns were the very same people who could harm our type. Hunters.The chaos found us as we found ourselves further deep into the town, most of the people rushed at us as they ran for their safety. One of the girls i recognized from the pack house slowed down when she saw us and came to me. Her face was wet in sweat and her eyes wide as she tried to catch her breath.“Alpha Ares, Beta Atlas. They
Chapter Forty-NineLaila POVMaya was much more agressive, there was the hatred brimming of her as she flicked her wrist at me, my movement had gotten faster and it was easier to dodge Maya, she wasn’t so thrilled that i managed to evade her attack and landed several punches at her. She grabbed my hands and pulled at it tightly, she raised her other hand with the ax, ready to strike when someone else grabbed her. It was Ares. His eyes were burning and full with electricity, the axe in Maya’s hand loosened and she let go. Her face which had a small smile turned into a scowl while she winced at his grip on her.“Let go.” Those two words sent Maya’s grip on my wrist loose, she let me go like i was on fire and then skipped backwards while she faced Ares. He easily towered over her and his aura rose as he brooded over her. My vision blurred for a while as i stared at them, my mouth was dried and so was my throat but it wasn’t enough to get me to pass out, not yet.“Hey-” It was Atlas, he
Chapter FiftySpicy content- Third person pov (This did not not happen in the timeline of the story, it is just a little something for readers who have come this far!!)Her fingers skimmed down the strained muscles of his chest, followed by the low growl which vibrated through him as her fingers worked its way up to his neck, his strong arms around her held her securely in place. “Laila- we have to stop.” He said to her while she left her neck exposed, just for him to see, just for him to devor. He stared at the lush clean skin and watched his resolve dissolve at her movement. The tank top she wore covered just as much but it also left not much to his imagination.“Why?” She asked in a husky voice, her eyes found his and he found the same thing buried in his own. Lust. Want. Need. Desire.“We-” his words were cut off when she grind against him. The little boy shorts she wore that clad her thighs were not much helpful. He hissed as his body responded eagerly even when he knew better t
Chapter Fifty-OneLaila POVIt took about two weeks before the incident with my ‘supposed’ sister and hunter happened, we found out that Maya was actually related to my adoptive parents but was sent away to boarding school because of her illicit behavior towards not only me but also some kids in the area. Apparently, she found herself in the hands of hunters who trained her into one of them using her anger as a tool. She turned out to be one of their high rank officers and her mission was simple, to bring back the white wolf, that was me. She was going to almost succeed if it wasn’t for what happened then. Now I stood in front of the mirror as I inspected myself in it one last time. I was going to give a report to the elders what happened, no one mentioned it to me until later when I was going to get discharged. Atlas told me that it wasn't necessary and that I could not give a report but from the look of things, the elders were already seeing me like a nuisance and someone who can
Chapter Fifty-TwoLaila pov“Up!!” the loud voice echoed and the lights came on attacking my eyes immediately. I turned to my side but regreted it immediately when my body collided to the ground. I winced as the pain shot out through my entire body, i rubbed my elbows and glared at the smaller bed i was now sleeping on.“Get up or you’ll be doing twenty laps in the next hour.” I glanced towards the door to find who it was. I had expected Ayesha to be in charge of our training but it looked like they had another plan as a man of about six two stands, with the light coming from behind him it is difficult to see his face or take in his features properly but it was enough to see his bulky frame.Kevin and Estelle were already on there feet like they didn’t have a miserable night like i did. I rose to my feet and watched as the man stepped further inside the small space, now the light had dimmed away and his sharp dark eyes pierced on me. “You must be the new girl, Laila.” he said, i igno
Chapter Fifty-ThreeAtlas povI watched her move away from the field after smiling at something Derek said. My eyes followed her until she disappeared into the training house. Derek noticed me and walked over.“She’s pretty interesting.” he said while brushing his hair back. “Fierce, although I think she's holding back on a lot of things in her head.”“Thats Laila for you.”“Is that why you two had me pulled off the field? To come train her?” he asked and we walked together.Derek was one of our finest fighters who was out on special missions, with the incident with the hunters, Ares and I thought it would be best to have someone like him train her. “She needs more of an iron fists, someone who is very experienced with facing Hunters- someone like you.” I said, and he was also the only person we could trust to get the job done.“You have Ayesha, she can do what I can.” When he mentioned Ayesha I noticed the strain in his voice.“Well, we know that but she's needed someplace else. We
Chapter Fifty-FourLaila Pov“What are you doing here?” I asked, staring down at him with my eyes narrowed at him. He didn't budge, only stared back at me and watched me. It was an intense staring competition to which I failed and blinked away and moved away from him.I turned around where I tried to keep a straight face, how long had he been here?“You seemed to be quite lost in your meditation.” He said instead and rose to his feet. I turned back to him again and brushed the sides of my leggings. I opened my mouth to ask him again but refrained myself from doing so, Ares made it clear days back that we weren’t supposed to talk to each other like friends or acquaintances.I nodded and turned to leave when he grabbed my wrist making me turn back to him.“You’re giving me the cold shoulder.” He said firmly and I tugged my hands but he wouldn’t let his grip slip up. I laughed and smacked my lips together.“I am not.” “Then why aren’t you talking to me?” his brows narrowed, he was not
Chapter Fifty-FiveAres POVI didn’t expect her to reach for the bowl at the same time i did and when she recoiled it angered me that she pulled back, it was like she was avoiding me and when she rose from where she sat without looking at me i knew that she was. I watched her disappear and the door closed behind her.“Ares, give her some slack.” Atlas said and i turned to him, he was picking out the pieces in the bowl in front of him.“I’m not doing anything.” I grumbled and dropped my fork down. He was right, i was trying to throw a fit for what happened.“Ares-” I ignored him and rose to my feet and walked towards the door.“Go easy on her.” The rest of his words died away when i closed the door behind me.It was clear that i didn’t want to go easy on her, not now not ever. With her pressed against me as i held her against the walls, i could perceive her, that scent that made her to stand out in the crowd, hte same that made me want he rlike no other. It was captivating, enchanting,
