Chapter 98- The Third strike- Part one of the ending.Maya POVThis was it. I was going to get my revenge on Laila for what she did to me. As I left the room, I stared at her one last time before I closed the door behind me. She didn't bother to spare me a glance nor did her eyes plead with me like i wanted, they were hard to read.“You two are done already?” I turned to the guy who was leaning by the wall, he had probably been there for a while. Malcolm, was it?“There’s not so much to talk about, our last meeting was not memorable,” I answered and glanced down at my watch, we had six hours until the main mission commenced.“I thought Morgana was the queen of holding grudges but you-” he pushed off the wall and walked closer to me. Something about Malcolm bothered me, it wasn’t the fact the Morgana blindly trusted him with her all or maybe it was the emotions bridled in his eyes, there was something he was hiding and I just couldn’t figure out what but it bothered me.“You are the qu
Chapter 99- The Third Strike- Part 2Ares POV“Thats enough Morgana,” Atlas stated, he was at the top of the elevation she had just climbed down from. Morgana’s face turned into a deep frown and then her eyes met with the three who were next to her, they exchanged a look that made me uncomfortable. Instead of dispersing as i expected they didn’t move, they remained in their spot like they weren’t aware of the intruder in their midst.“What is? The disrespect that you have for us, then yes, i agree. It is enough.” Morgana replied, “Where is your brother? I’m exoecting two peas in a pod, not one.” As if sensing where i was, she turned and our eyes met, her face which was blank stirred into a smile. It was impecable that she could find me through the crowd- i have sure blended in and far away but she could sense me out of the majority.“Come on, I think this would make a perfect reunion,” she opened her arms wide and then like metal to a magnet, the blade which had been tossed away from
Chapter 100- The final mark(updated version)Laila POV“Ayeesha?” her name rolled off my tongue and I turned to her with my brows creased, her dark brows were no longer knitted and were more relaxed and she stared at the device in her arm ignoring the shocked look on my face.“You two were supposed to take care of them since, what was the hold up for?” she said casually and Andrea popped a mint in her mouth while Calum stared at me, he was the only one paying attention to my reaction and the other two didnt mind my break.“Ayeesha- how? No, this has to be a lie, there is no way this is- this is- is true.” I muttered words stuck in my throat, Ayeesha finally turned to me and placed her hands on her hips, i retraced my steps, my legs moving on its own accord. My eyes narrowed in anger.“Why? How-”“You probably didn’t hear it, you were passed out on the slab and you missed it,”“Missed out? missed out? How much of a traitor you are?-”“Oh please, you had the nudge that something was off
Chapter OneLaila Pov“Happy 18th Birthday Lai,” My friends echoed throwing the confetti made of presents wrappers and some other material. I smiled at them as they flooded me with hugs that sucked the air from me.“Geez, if you guys continue like this, I would be dead before I get to blow out the candles.” I joked closing my eyes as the warmth flooded through me.Harley, my childhood friend whom we basically shared everything together stood in front of me with a beaming smile, her brunette hair bounced in silky waves, it was one of the many things I envied about her. My platinum blonde hair was something I didn’t enjoy having, it was weird that in a town of over twenty thousand people I was the only one that had a striking shade of white for a hair and so I did the only thing that would make me normal, I dyed my blonde hair black. Now that I mentioned it, it was about time I covered up my roots the white as peeking out in small strands.“Happy birthday bestie.” She pulled me in a
Chapter TwoLaila PovIt was a bad dream. All of it, my eyes peered opened slowly and I sighed in relief when I realized I was in bed. Everything was just a dream, a really bad dream.“You’re up.” a voice from across the room said. Me eyes which were droopy snapped opened for good this time and I realized that I was in a bed that wasn’t mine. I tossed the blankets over me as I tried to find my footing but it was difficult as I staggered and held my head from rolling. My vision happened in doubles and my ears amplified the beating of my heart.“You should remain in bed if you don’t want to get unconscious again.” The voice said, it belonged to a woman I have never seen before. Did she save me? why don’t I re- I leaned on the wall and my eyes widened as everything came flooding back. My 18th birthday, Harley and Justine, nearly knocking into the wolf and- My knees buckle beneath me and I slide down to the floor. No none of this is real.Mum and Dad. I saw them, dead. They were de
Chapter ThreeLaila PovA white wolf? I am a from the descendant of a white wolf? Alpha Ares and Ayesha had left me alone but they had also been foolish to think that I wouldn’t be able to get out. I glanced to my side hoping to see if I could use anything, but there was nothing.“You need to get out of here Lai.” I whispered to myself. I was still in my clothes from yesterday, clothes that held so many memories. I should burn them when I get out of here. I checked my wrist, bruised and painful, if I just squeezed I could get out.“You got this,” I bit down on my lips drawing blood on my lips, my left wrist slipped though the first chains and then the second came off. I rubbed my wrist massaging them. I managed to get on my feet and quietly rushed towards the door which was locked.“That’s not do hard.” I pulled at the pin in my hair and picked the lock, it opened after the third push. Slowly I pushed the door opened and peeked out, there was no guards or camera’s in sight.Ho
Chapter FourAres Pov“How did she managed to escape into the night without any one of you knowing?” I spat glaring at the men in my office.“We didn’t he-“ Ayesha sent him a pointed glare that had him shut up.“It shows your incompetence and for this reason you’ll be working double time.” Ayesha said firmly pacing around the room with her hands tucked behind her back.“You’re all dismissed.” I waved them off tapping my feet as they closed the doors.“You should be resting Alpha Ares, you were injured.” Ayesha said calmly folding her hands across her chest. “You were injured last night.” She added.“What about the girl? How is she?” I asked stopping by the window side as I inspected the training outside. “I haven’t checked on her but Atlas said he would stop by to see how she was doing.” My brow ticked at the mention of my twin brother, Atlas.“And you let him?” I questioned turning to her.“You know Atlas, he doesn’t take no for an answer.” She replied. She was right, Atlas wasn’t
Chapter fiveAtlas POVI didn’t expect the girl to be that pretty, yet here she was even in her grief shining in her beauty. Her soft hazel eyes looked vulnerable and her lips were chapped and in a thin line every time I stepped inside the room to give her food to eat. She looked like she’ll rather be anywhere and I made the off comment about seeing the gardens if she ate her food.When she started crying I did expect a nervous breakdown, but she was doing it right in front of me. she had lost her adoptive parents in the past week and she was in a strange place, it was normal that she shed a tear or two but when I pulled her into me my heart raced a thousand times more.Her scent put me at ease and I liked that she leaned on me, I wanted to brush her hair but as usual, my brother showed up.“What in the world is going on here?” Laila pulled away from me like I was a hot stove and my lips spread in a soft smirk directed at my brother.“Nothing that is your business.” She snapped at him
