Layla was adamant on not letting Rhea on the fighting grounds, because it made the warriors wary and distracted. And she found out that some warriors had seen her fight Chloe, and according to the gossip, they thought she was a living weapon.To Layla’s dismay, Rhea was beginning to have fans among the ranks. They should be training hard, not gawking and whispering about a certain white haired Lycan princess. She gloomily told Rhea, “Still. You should stay away from the fighting grounds. Alpha Xavier might misunderstand and cause another scene.”Rhea immediately got what this was all about. Layla was still pissed off about the entire incident back during the fighting match. Softly, she stepped closer to Layla, sighing. “I understand how you feel, Layla. Losing your parents in the worst possible way, and watching your brother fall in love with the daughter of your parents’ killer…”Layla flinched from Rhea’s words and abruptly looked away, frowning. Rhea softly continued. “You hate me,
When the footsteps in front of the cell retreated, there was silence. Syke slowly moved his bruised and bloody head sideways to look at Top agent, sprawled against the wall. She was not even moving at all. He could not even tell if she was breathing under all that blood.“Hey. Did you hear what they just said about Ghost?” He asked in a hoarse whisper. “I think a serious war is brewing.”Silence met his words, and he slowly blinked at her, trying to find the outline of her face under her matted blonde hair turned brown. He said again, “Hey, I don’t have the strength to keep repeating myself. Are you even alive?”“I feel dead.” Chloe let out a raspy chuckle that sent more blood out of her mouth. Syke jolted and the sudden movement cost him so much pain.He hissed in pain and annoyance. “Oh, you fucking look dead, alright. I wish you could fucking see how pathetic you look right now. The best werewolf spy in Ghost’s ranks, all beaten up by a pampered princess. Next, some amateur torture
Xavier took in a deep breath and ordered. “Give the signal, now!”There was a loud hoot from one of Xavier’s warriors a split second later, and chaos burst out in the building. The warriors began shooting down their confused opponents from the safety of the flames and soon yells and shouts of pain from the poison filled the air.“W-what…” The Alpha muttered in confusion, and in that moment, the glass roof over where he stood shattered into hundreds of pieces of sharp glass shards.Two feminine figure rolled down some ropes so elegantly, that they looked like swans. Swans of death. As they rolled down, screams erupted from the women, as glass poured all over them. Through the absolutely hellish commotion, time slowed down in front of the scared Alpha’s eyes.Rolling down from above, where two females. Lethal, lean and armed to the tooth. And beautiful. That was what terrified him the most, the pure death written all over their beauty. One had brown hair, flying through the air in slow
Megan was sprawled against the floor of her “shelter”, because it was the coldest spot of the entire structure. She terribly missed home. The freezing temperatures and the ice baths. Here, she had to take her bath with a sorry excuse of an ice bath. Chunks of ice were delivered down to her through a contraption, and by the time she got enough to fill up her tub, it was already melting.The temperatures in this place we’re not just low enough to keep the ice solid.Sometimes, watching the ice float around miserably in the tub made her more depressed than usual.As a spoiled and revered princess, she had never been exposed to such crude style of living ever. Even the food was different. She could not have the type of fish that only lived in cold waters. She could not have berries, and other food that only grew in the north. The only good thing here, was that she got to eat a lot of interesting fruits.And there was at least one very handsome person around here. The beta of this pack.Sh
“Home?” Megan asked, her eyes moving from Jimin to Xavier and back to Jimin. “Didn’t you hear him the first time?” Layla hissed in a tone that could barely hide her disgust for Alpha Ferran’s daughter. “You’re going back home, high maintenance.”“Stop calling her names,” Jimin frowned. “She has been a part of us for some time now.”“And what has she done rather than sitting down in this cozy ice castle all day?” Layla frowned. “Nothing! We do all the work while our prisoner sits back and enjoys the cool of the day. That’s so not fair.”“Point of correction,” Jimin cut in. “She is not our prisoner. She’s one of us. She has been at the Black Wolf Pack for a long time and she hasn’t caused any trouble. We’re only taking her back to her father because we need him to be on our side and he might want to see his daughter. Megan is a nice person and definitely one of us.” Megan smiled at his last remarks and Layla scoffed, noticing the smile that danced across her lips briefly. She didn’t l
“Thank you for saving our lives out there,” Chloe mumbled after looking around to see that Calistè was alone. Calistè barely smiled and walked up to them.“You owe me your life, Chloe,” Calistè smiled. “You and your friend over there. But first I want to hear everything. Tell me how you lost to Rhea?”Chloe frowned. “Rhea is stronger than we all give her credit for. Can you imagine the technique she used against me?”“What did she use?” Calistè asked.“The dance of death!” Chloe cried. “The fucking dance of death. I’ve not seen anyone who used that technique in a hundred years.”“Well you’ve seen someone who uses it,” Calistè shrugged. “You failed Ghost. Do you know what he planned to do with your body after killing you?”“I don’t even want to know,” Chloe grunted, a frown playing across her face.“Honestly, you don’t want to,” Calistè nodded. “You would be sick if you found out.”Chloe shrugged and turned to face Syke. “You’ve not said a word since. Are you dead already?”Syke did no
Chloe ran through the forest of wet grasses under the cover of the night. She had tied her thick black hair in a bun earlier to prevent it from flailing around under the wind but it had loosened and fell freely across her shoulders now.“Low key wish she gave us an easier task for our lives,” Chloe murmured.Syke knew she was talking about Calistè so he preferred to keep mute. Since he heard about the witch’s love interest in their enemy’s Laye father, he had preferred to stay away from conversations that involved her. Apparently, Chloe didn’t share the same convictions with him and she talked freely about Calistè.“Do you think she’s on our side?” Syke asked suddenly, taking Chloe by surprise.Chloe turned to face him. “Why do you ask? She does look like a nice person to me though. We shouldn’t judge her because she once loved Tae Kong. Might have fallen for him too when I was younger considering the fact that he looked like my favorite K Pop stars.Syke rolled his eyes. “I know all
Syke turned around in shock. “Did you hear that?”Chloe nodded her head. “I did. Don’t raise your voice.” Chloe turned around searching for where the sound was coming from. The night was silent and dark and the only light coming was that of the crescent moon that was shining above in the night sky. Syke was scared to death. All his life, he had gone for all sorts of missions but he had never been made to go to a graveyard. He looked around from the gate of the graveyard and caught sight of a figure moving in the shadows.“Chloe…” he started.Chloe turned around quickly at his voice. “What is the matter?”Syke shook his head in the negative. The figure had disappeared as soon as it had come. Or was he seeing things? He couldn’t tell for sure but he knew that whatever the case was, it was going to be a miracle if they got back to Calistè whole and hearty.“No one’s going to hurt you,” Chloe laughed. “Always remember, Ghosts don’t exist.”“Ghosts don’t exist,” Syke repeated to himself ov
