Chapter Sixty-NineLaila PovI moved my hands to the back of my pants where my blades were strapped against, this stranger wanted me to trust him and go to see this Miera of a woman. His unnatural pale skin and red eyes made me question what he was, when he open his mouth to speak to me i caught a glimpse of his fangs.“Don’t bother with the knife it would be useless against me.” He said like he didn’t trust me enough to hurt him, but i obeyed and retracted my hands from the blade and allowed them drop by my side. “What are you?” I asked, the least he could do was answer my questions. The guy only stared at me with one of his brows raised as he tried to figure out if i was kidding or not. When he realized that i was serious he raked his hnads through his hair which had white strikes at the front.“Isn’t it obvious?” he asked. “I am a vampire, no more questions Miera is waiting for us.” He said and turned his back from me heading out of the room expecting me to follow him.“Wait,” he
Chapter SeventyLaila PovI stared at the glass and my reflection in it, the people behind me also stared, Kevin had that confusion on his face, the same as me but Kai and Miera didn’t seem thrilled by it. It was theirs, it belonged in there care so they knew what it was.“Why are you showing this to me?” I asked and turned back to Miera, she moved closer to me and turned to the mirror where she reached for my hands, my brows furrowed and i pulled away before she could touch. She saw my resistance but didn’t complain instead she turned to the mirror and placed her hands on it. My eyes widened as the supposed glass rippled against her touch, and for a few seconds it began to shed another image to the rest of us. It wasn’t any reflection, it showed Miera and Kia together, but they weren’t alone. There was another woman in the same room with them and she was laying on a bed, she had pale face and her eyes was closed, then another man entered but before i could see his face clearly Miera
Chapter Seventy-OneLaila PovI landed in the white snow, unable to hold up my footing, I tripped and my face kissed the snow. The ice plummeted into my face, giving off the chill that sent my body rigid and a slight brain freeze. I pushed to my back and stared at the sky which was gray and dark and had tiny pieces of snow dribble from above.I turned to my left and realized that i was in front of an open gate, most of it had been clouded with snow but it was obvious, I could see nothing further because of the fog far ahead but i could see faint traces of light. When i turned to my right, I almost jumped at the girl who was staring down at me with bright blue eyes. I pushed away, giving myself a gap from the girl who had blue eyes and when she tucked a strand of hair away from her face to the back of her ears, i realized that they were white. “Sage, what are you doing?!” a feminine voice echoed from behind the girl and when she turned to look over her shoulders I followed her line of
Chapter Seventy-TwoLaila PovThe warmth from the fire ahead pressed against my skin as i saw the entirety of the chaos, from the screams and the growl from those around pierced through the air. they were under attack and my eyes widened when i realized what was happening, i turned to my side to find Sage but the girl was nowhere by my side.“Sage!!” her name pierced through my throat and panic filled me, I raced towards the house i had followed her in the first time but when i got there the place glowed in orange-yellow lights which reflected in my eyes. I stared at the rage of fire and swallowed when it only combusted the more. How the hell was it burning this strong even with the snow? Again, the same force which pulled at me earlier pulled at me again and it was just in time as two large wolves jump in my path, one was a huge white wolf and the other was black, both of the same side and loud growl left there lips as they battled which each other as their canine sunk into one anoth
Chapter Seventy-ThreeLaila PovSage was the girl they had been looking for.I stared at her knees as the wound closed up and the only thing i could use to tell was the tiny particles attached to the surface of her skin.“She is the girl-” The mouth of the other dropped opened and Sage clawed at the hands of the man that held her above the ground.“Please- don’t hurt me,” she pleaded but the man didn’t budge instead he only stared at her. “I-” she tried to find words but it wasn’t audible enough as her airflow was slowly cut short.“Why did you lie?” He asked and she coughed. “I know what clan like yours do to wolves like me. You sell us off and make some huge bucks of the market.” She answered and held his wrists. “You don’t have a shame or care in the world about us and all you think of is what you’ll gain-”“There is more of you?” One of the men said. Sage gaze remained on the man who held her, the bitterness and anger was clear in sight.“Not anymore, your kind made sure of that.
Chapter Seventy-FourLaila PovI went back to the mirror after she told me who sage was. I needed to know what happened.“You’re not seriously going back there, you came out hurt the first time Laila-” Kevin muttered as i walked down the hallway, this time Miera didn’t follow me. She had said nothing more and it was the push i needed to fuel all of my desires to know.I pushed the door open ignoring all of Kevin’s words, i was vexed, bothered and curious. WHy didn’t Sage say anything earlier?“Laila, would you stop being so reckless!” Kevin grabbed my arms and twirled me around to face him. his brows were slack and his eyes were full of frustration and worry.“Would you stop being so stubborn?”“Just leave me alone Kevin, i can handle myself-” i said keeping my irritation under control.“You don’t get it, do you? Nothing you do is just about yourself, there's no me, or I in this-”“For f!@# sake will you just stop it!!” I finally snapped and it took Kevin aback. His wide eyes reduced
Chapter Seventy-FiveAres PovShe kept her head up while Miera examined the markings on her arms. She had said nothing after then and we weren’t going to push her until she was okay. Speaking about Okay, i turned to Atlas who was already looking at me and then back to Kevin who was against the door, his shoulders remained firm as he tried to avoid our burning gaze.“She’ll be fine, it’s just a burn.” Miera said and rose from the seat. I turned my attention to the woman, it had been almost ten years since i last saw her and she was still the same. Bloody Vamps.“What do you mean it’s just a burn?” Atlas said staring down at Miera. “She touched that glass and something like this happened, it can’t be just a burn.” he muttered. Miera stared back at Atlas and then turned to Laila who was still staring at the ceiling.“Can you tell us what happened?” Miera asked Laila, she blinked once and then again before she spoke.“I jumped.” She replied vaguely, “I was with them when Karl heard the ne
Chapter Seventy-SixLaila POVWe rushed through the hallway, the sound of our hurried feet echoing through the building with Kevin in the lead, neither Miera nor Ares was in sight and it bothered me a lot. When we reached the doors leading outside, we heard the commotion before we even saw it, the doors opened and we rushed outside to get a glimpse of the chaos.Miera and Ares stood side by side as they stared at the person opposite them, it was a man and he had most of his face covered, something about the way he dressed reminded me of the black wolves who took my mother out of her clan.“Leave Grim, i won’t be so nice to you if you took another step.” It was Miera’s threatening words that echoed through the silence. The man Grim was bulky, huge and tall. The mask covered almost enough, leaving only his dark eyes on display, when he noticed that they had more company he turned in my direction and his eyes bored into mine. He reached for his cape and tugged it down his head and face,
