*20 MINUTES EARLIER* DRAX'S POV My heart raced as Rissa made her shocking revelation about her feelings for me.I was happy, but scared. I loved her, and I want to be with her. Whenever I am around her, my heart overflows with immense joy. I've had a crush on her right from the moment I met her in the forest.Her beauty is so captivating, it makes me double take whenever I look at her. Her perfect hourglass figure, her perky breasts, her azure blue eyes and dark brown hair that both complimented her fair skin, making her look like a literal goddess.My first thought was to continue my 'hard-to-get' act and not pursue my real intentions with her. To hide under the guise of being too focused on the mission to have any time at all for love.But no more! I can't continue deceiving myself. The truth, if I'm being honest is, I was just scared. Scared of being plagued with unrequited love. Scared of falling in love again and losing the person in the end, just like I lost Sonia.The truth is
DRAX'S POVThe nerve racking sound of helicopters and sirens clouded the air. The ground vibrated as many vehicles carrying heavy artillery roamed the surroundings outside in the streets. There was a clear indication of unrest. The smell of looming danger permeated the air all around... It was on. This was it.I had no idea what to do. Surrender or fight? Was it worth it?If we fight, there is a great possibility that we might not make it to the next hour, because I'm sure all the soldiers must have been given direct instructions to shoot on sight. All the odds were against us. We were clearly outmatched and outnumbered.I could hear the noise outside getting louder, as I perceived that more and more people were arriving the scene.I looked at the girls, and I could see terror in their eyes as they probably said their last prayers in their minds.I looked towards Billy, and I could still see the expression of guilt, fear, and regret plastered on his face. But I'm not buying that. I d
LILLY'S POVRage burned in my heart like the eruption of an enormous volcano.How could he do this to us? To me —How could he betray us like that? He sold us out for money. That means he never cared about me. He never loved me...Only now my eyes have been opened, and now I know that all he wanted was to get under my skirt and nothing more.He never had any feelings for me... He never loved me. If he did, he would never have jeopardized our mission. He would never have worked with the man who wanted to murder us.Even if he needed the money badly, he would have considered the fact that I was there, and rejected the money.Now I feel so stupid for allowed myself to be so dumb as not to see that this guy dangerous. I should have seen it coming. I should have known that he was a deadly snake with evil intensions in his heart. I should have pushed him away when he pulled me to his chest and stuck his tongue down my throat.But No! I was dumb and naive, I thought it was love. I stripped m
DRAX'S POVWell, I guess that answers my lifelong question of whether I'm cursed or not.Truth is... I'm definitely cursed.I simply can't catch a break. Just when I thought something good was finally about happening to me, and I was finally going to get the girl of my dreams, the universe had to prove me wrong and screw me over.Why did that call have to come in right when I was about kissing Rissa? Couldn't the bastard just have waited a few minutes more?"Hurry up, guys." Rissa said frantically as we made for the tunnels.I used a piece of strong metal to bend the door's locking wheel, so they would have a difficult time opening the door and getting to us from the outside.Then I closed the door tightly before I ran towards the others, leaving Billy in the room.As we began our escape, my mind was unsettled as I hoped that nobody knew about the other entrance to the hideout from the alleyway.I took out the radio and switched it on."One of the fugitives has been spotted near the to
RISSA'S POV "Fight?!" I exclaimed. Great! Just great! Initially, my brain had been flowing in a sea of oxcytocin, as I was so eager, and I honestly couldn’t wait for us to get out of there so Drax and I could have our moment. Unfortunately, Damian’s call came in, and we had to run for our dear lives. And although I wasn’t happy that our beautiful moment was unavoidably interrupted, my consolation was the fact that I finally got a positive response. Drax loved me back, and I couldn’t get over the warm feelings I was feeling all over. Of course I’m not happy that it had to take this long for him to acknowledge his feelings for me, I understood where he was coming from and the reasons why it wasn’t easy for him. Although I’m not the kind of person that would fall head over heels for a guy to the point of confessing my feelings to him, I’m very happy that I did. Finally I can calm down and relax, knowing that the man I love loves me back. Unfortunately, I didn’t know if we would
RISSA'S POV Immediately, I fell to the ground and Drax turned back to check on me. My tummy was bleeding. Drax lifted my shirt up to examine the wound. Thankfully, the bullet only nicked my side, missing my vital organs. But the problem was, I was bleeding severely. Drax applied pressure on the wound to prevent me from losing too much blood. But as we looked up behind us, the hunters were already close. Lily had run out of bullets, and they swarmed all around her to pin her down. She tried to resist, but she was no match for them. Soon, she was overpowered, in seconds they had her tied up, while the rest of them proceeded towards us. “Drax, you have to go. They’re coming for you.” I said, looking up at him with a grimace on my face, due to the intense pain I was feeling. “No, I can’t leave you here.” He said in a quavering voice, while caressing my face with one hand. “You have to go Drax. You can’t let them capture you. Leave me here; I’ll be fine I promise.” I said in fear. I d
Drax's POVMy father ran the pack so diligently, yet he always had time for his family. I never felt forgotten or alone. It felt like he had always been there for me in the time when he was alive. I always wondered how he managed to do it. It seemed like a mystery to me. I stood up from my seat and decided to take a walk for some fresh air.I hoped the garden above would be empty, so I could have some time to reflect. Especially since we were in the final stages of the battle. In a short while, Damian would be dead, I'd be cured, and the pack would be under my control... We were in the endgame.I moved towards the ladder, just below the hatch on the ceiling. As I passed the small walkway that led to the two bedroom doors, about to hold onto the ladder rails, a weird smell hit my sensitive werewolf nostrils.It smelled like sex — or specifically like a lady's wetness.What was going on?Is today some kind of sex holiday I didn't know about? Or is this a plan to get me all horny so I c
RISSA'S POV I paced around the garden slowly, as I pondered on the events that were about to take place. I wondered what it would feel like to be able to shift back and forth at my own will. — I couldn't wait. The excitement built up inside me. Very soon I'd see my brother again, and the oppressions would stop. He would live a normal and happy life. When I finally become Aplha in less than a week, I would make sure that everyone around me is happy.I continued my pondering the garden while the cool evening breeze trickled against my skin. After a few minutes, I heard a sound that came from the back entrance of the house.I bent low, and hid behind behind some shrubs, to avoid getting spotted by a guard, or someone else. I peeked through the openings and found out that it was Billy who had just returned from his mission. We have been waiting for him for hours... At least he was here now.He proceeded to the statue, so he could move it and gain access to the entrance. "You're late!" I
