Nina, Melodie and Kayla trooped in along with othet pack members of Antarti. They were all here to listen to what the King had to say. "Can you guess what she's going to say to us?" Melodie asked Nina as she snaked her arm around Nina's. "It's obvious why she wants to address us after what happened yesterday," Nina said. "I want to know if Heyli's fine. I'm worried about her. After yesterday, I really wanted to see her but she didn't return. Are you sure she's still alive? Loki must've killed her," Melodie said in a panicked tone. "Shut the hell up. You talk too much," Kayla said in annoyance. "I just want to know if she's safe. That's all," Nina turned to face Nina and grabbed her by the arm. "You must never. I mean, never talk to her. She's not our friend. She lied to us about her identity. I'm sure there's a lot more we don't know. A true friend would let us know who she really is. " Melodie frowned. She turned to Kayla who acted line she didn't
Athena made sure she touched every topic she had planned on doing. There was a bit of an uproar when she mentioned that Heyli would continue training with the junior team. Someone had yelled about how dangerous it was and she had totally ignored them and also Damien who was looking at her to clarify things. "I don't have to clarify things. If they don't trust me enough to assure them safety, then they should live in fear." After the announcement, Athena wished the people good luck and reminded them of the Royal Hunting Ceremony that would be commencing in about a month's time. She left the porch, not minding if people were speaking openly about how much of a dictator she was. She found Heyli standing in the room that led to the porch and at the door stood Loki. His arms were folded before him. She walked towards Heyli. "Heyli, are you good? Loki told me about your situation and I immediately sent a chiropractor to you," "I've always been a weapon
"Are you sure you want to face them now?" Loki asked. "You can always go there another time, when it has all died down," Heyli was already dressed up in dark ripped jeans and a hoodie to cover her face. That was to protect her from being seen by people. She needed to stay away from the public eye as much as possible. "I want to go today. I really need to see them. I've been lying to them since I knew them and it wouldn't be funny or nice if I left them hanging," Loki nods. "If that's what you want. You'll have to be careful though. So no one sees you," Heyli frowned. "I thought we were going together?" Loki laughed. "Everyone knows I'm your guardian. They're not stupid. When they see me walking with anyone, they automatically think you're the one." Heyli, who had been feeling confident, was suddenly nervous. She thought he was going to go with her but now that he wasn't, she wasn't sure she was going to do it. "I can't." "You can," Loki said. He sou
Heyli went fully into freak out mode. She pulled back the hoodie to cover her face but it was already too late. Kayla's eyes widened in horror and when Melodie tried to pull her away, Harrison took a hold of Heyli's arm. Her hoodie was pulled back down. Now, she was standing before everyone and they were all looking at her. "Do you think you can escape us? Why are you hiding from us, huh?" Harrison said as he stared her down. Heyli had never seen him act this rude. She had always made sure to stay far away from him but today, he was being downright disrespectful. "I am not hiding from anyone," Heyli said with the tiny bit of confidence she had mustered up. Harrison turned back to look at his boys and they all laughed. "Kanime, huh?" Kayla stepped forward and drew Heyli behind her. "I thought I warned you to stay out of my business?" "Heyli isn't your business. You're your own business," Harrison said as he looked at her in disdain. Melodie stepped up. "She's our business
"Are you guys mad at me?" "Not at all," Kayla replied as she wiped a napkin over her mouth. Heyli had decided to take them for a treat to one of the restaurants in town. Athena gave her allowance every week and it was more than enough. She decided to take Melodie and Kayla to get food and drinks. "But Nina is mad at you," Melodie replied. She forked a chunk of spicy potato into her mouth and chewed. "Her brother was murdered by a Kanime. He was a warrior in the senior team that year there was a Kanime attack. He was killed while trying to save everyone's life." "I don't think that's enough reason for her to suddenly be angry at Heyli. She isn't one of the Kanimes that attack and her story is different from theirs. She never meant harm," Kayla countered. "I think that's enough reason," Melodie disagreed. "We just have to let her know that Heyli means no harm. Her brother was killed by an evil person," "But Heyli isn't!" Kayla exclaimed. "She was once a human running away from
Harrison was on his knees pleading for his life. Gianni had already been taken to the dungeon to be left there for the day he would be questioned. Athena was seated on her throne now and Alex sat on one of the seats that lined the large room. Two guards stood behind Harrison while Loki stood behind Alex's seat. "You have been impeached from your position as the leader of the junior team and you will be demoted back to the amateur team and watched. If you make any improvement in behavior, you'll be given a chance to return to your team. But, someone else, someone worthy of the position of a leader would be appointed as the new leader of the junior team." Harrison was horrified. Go back to the amateur team? He stayed there till he was sixteen before he was then moved to the junior team along with his friends. He couldn't imagine himself with the younger team members. It was going to be greatly embarrassing. That bitch, Heyli. He was going to make sure she paid back for this she d
"How come you're not connected with anyone?" Melodie asked. "I don't understand," Heyli said in confusion. "On the first day you shifted to a Kanime, someone was meant to take charge of you. Like your master. They control you and all that. But back at the woods, you were so confused Soni figured no one was controlling you," "Ohh, that. Alex helped me. I'm getting there." "Alright." "I'll need another burger and chips, please!" Melodie called the waitress. "Melodie!" Kayla scolded. "Remember it's not your bill to play? Have some respect." "Heyli is my friend and she's got it for me." "That's disrespectful, Melodie," I'm smiling. "It's fine, Kayla. She can have whatever she wants. You also can," Melodie stuck out her tongue at Kayla. "I'm fine. Melodie can have whatever she wants," We waited for Melodie to place her order before I continued. "Athena wanted me dead. I was sent to attack her and I nearly killed her but Alex saved her and I was caged till I shifted back to no
"Bianca should cut herself some slack," Kayla grunted as they walked down the street. "Loki doesn't even care about her," Heyli, who had been lost in deep thought, spoke. "But why would she think he's interested in me? I find that absolutely ridiculous." "Because he actually is," Melodie sneakered. "He isn't!" Heyli countered. "I don't even like him," Kayla and Melodie looked at Heyli and laughed. "You're actually serious?" "About what?" Heyli frowned in absolute confusion. "What the hell are you talking about?" "You're lying about not liking Loki. It's obvious! You really like him. I see it in the way you look at him!" Melodie said and laughed. "I see it, too." Kayla agreed. "You both are blind," Heyli said and frowned. "You know it's not a crime if you like him?" Heyli nodded. "I know it isn't a crime. That's why I'm telling you that I don't like him!" "Heyli!" Someone called behind them and they all turned to see Loki standing a few meters away. It seemed like he had
