BILLYS POVHe had infiltrated a heavily guarded mall with Rissa before and he didn't seem bothered about it.So why did he look all tensed up after a mere infiltration mission.I pushed the statue out of the way. We both climbed down, escaping the chilly evening breeze to the warm underground lounge.We all sat down in the lounge, while Billy had his laptop and some walkie-talkies in front of him as he tried to complete the radio linking process.After a while, it worked. The radio was connected and we could tap into their audio signal whenever we wanted."Alright, it's connected." Billy explained. "If you want to hear what they're saying, tap this button." He tapped on the button and we heard some voices chattering in the background. "If you want to change the device transmitting the audio, you tap this button." He tapped on the button, and a different background noise sounded from our end."...and if you want to speak, you press this button and all the hunters with radios would be a
RISSA'S POVI woke up at midnight and found Drax was still awake, watching the prisoner, after we had our turn watching him, so I whispered to him. "Drax, you need to get some rest. He's not going anywhere... He's fast asleep."I felt really concerned about him staying awake without any sleep. Drax has always been the one to go through the inconveniences just to make sure we're all ok.He made my safety his own priority. To be honest, Drax has really grown from the nonchalant, sad, wounded man I rescued from that trap weeks ago."He may be pretending, waiting for us to lower our guard, so he can kill us or escape and alert whoever is working with him." Drax whispered back.I don't know what his talking about, because the prisoner I'm looking at right now is clearly in a deep sleep. I'm sure we could put him in a car and move him across the country without him moving a muscle.I was feeling very sleepy, but my conscience wouldn't let me leave Drax awake and all alone. It would be unfai
RISSA'S POVAfter contemplating, we agreed to do it ourselves. We walked down, a few blocks away from the park, and found a shop for hair care products. We went inside, and shopped for all the stuff we'd need to work on the hair. Then we went to the bathroom and found an empty stall.I did Lily's hair first, and in no time, she was looking all different—and beautiful. Then, with Lily's help I was able to bleach my silky brunette hair, to a new dirty blonde colour.After the hair makeover, we stood in front of the big mirror in the bathroom's open area, turning and changing poses as we admired our new look.It's not as good as plastic surgery, but I'm sure we'd be able to fool a lot of people with this new look.Only someone who looked very closely enough would be able to tell that we're the same people in the wanted posters. I can't wait to see the look on Drax's face when he sees us for the first time with our new hair."I look amazing!" Lily pouted her lips seductively as she admi
RISSA'S POVDrax nodded his head slightly. "Alright. Let me get ready. We'll set out in ten minutes." He said, then he stood up with the empty cups in his hand and left the room.We all got dressed and converged downstairs with our disguises on."There's an electronics shop down the block. I think we might be able to obtain a phone from there. Lily, you're going to go in while we be on the lookout for you outside." Drax said."Let me do it." I jumped in.Drax looked at me confused. "You can't go in there. Someone might recognize you. Besides, Lily already has the skills for pickpocketing, so it's easier for her not to get caught." Drax countered."Okay." I nodded.But I wasn't ok. I obliged to do it because I didn't want to feel left out. I wanted to make my own contributions to the team, and not just be a liability.I'm starting to feel that way. Like I'm not good enough. Like I'm worthless. Especially since I have no wolf. That inner voice in my head keeps telling me that I'm useles
RISSA'S POVWe've been on the run since the first day we met. What time do we have to want to explore any other emotions, other than the desire to stay alive?!'Just forget it.' I told myself. 'The two of you can never happen'.I finished making my bed and was about to lie down then, Lily asked me. "So, what's your story?"I did a double take at her trying to understand her question. "What?""Your story..." She said. "It's not common for an innocent girl to just oblige to being hunted down. I mean, Drax said you didn't do anything, right? How did you end up here?"I let out a sad sigh. I didn't want to relive the past anymore. My experiences were difficult and traumatic. Narrating it to her would only make me feel uneasy. Well, I just have to let it out.I sat on the bed and started. "My parents relationship was a taboo. My mom was a werewolf from the blood fang pack, but my dad was human. A hunter. One day, their paths crossed, and they fell in love.""Wait, your mom is from this pac
RISSA'S POVWhen Drax saw me return with several bags of ice cream, his face squeezed in and his eyes twitched in anger. I think he was feeling sour because I disobeyed the explicit instruction he gave us the previous night about not leaving the room for any reason whatsoever.His jaw hung low as he gave me that long blank stare of disapproval while I walked into the room and sat on the bed.He was about to protest when I quickly opened up one ice-cream cup and shoved a spoonful into his mouth, making him swallow his words alongside the ice cream.Lily bursted out a muffled chuckle as she saw him swallow the ice cream silently. Her laugh made me burst out laughing too.Drax kept a straight face, staring at us coldly. Although, I don't know he couldn't take practical jokes, or he didn't laugh because it was probably one of the things that triggered his wolfing out—But still...Come on. That shit was funny as fuck. You have to give me credit—His dead eyes oscillated between the both o
RISSA'S POVFor the record, I'll pick this option a thousand times and over if asked to choose between amusement park and rotting in that monotonous inn all day. No matter the consequences. "Oh God! I haven't had this much fun in fucking ages." I screamed immediately we stepped out of the roller coaster cars, unable to hide my excitement.Thankfully, this city of ruins still had something interesting to offer. Something that adds life to the already dying city.Something to make the already impoverished people happy, and forget their problems. To me that sounds like an award-winning strategy.The citizens are too poor and oppressed...Then find a way to keep them happy. When they're happy, they'll most likely forget the bigger problems. No wonder the roller coaster ride was very affordable. Well, they had all better be affordable—because I plan on milking them for every bit of excitement they have to offer."See?! I told you it was worth it..." Lily jumped out and said excitedly. "Wha
DRAX'S POVSlowly, all the sleepiness began to clear from my eyes, and the memories of the previous night slowly crawled it's way into my mind. The kicks, the punches... Only now did I start to feel the effects of that fight. It has been ages since I did as little as dodge a punch, let alone throw one.When my father was still alive, he used to teach me how to fight hand-to-hand combat. We would train together all day at the palace gym house.My father was a skilled fighter. Not just as a wolf, but also in human form too. So he taught me a lot about martial arts.Thanks to all his lessons, I was able to defeat those thugs that had attacked Rissa and Lily. Normally I would have opted for us to run away and avoid any physical confrontations, but then I overheard what they said to Rissa, and I understood what they were planning to do with them, and my intentions changed.I combined the leftover rage I had for those bounty hunters that raped Rissa, with the one that I felt for those thug
