Third person POVThe night of the third full moon was haunting and cold. Everyone had gone to sleep when suddenly. “Ryan,” She whispered his name in her dream.“I want you to find me and save me.” She said before disappearing into the clearing, in front of him was a waterfall flowing in a stream, the only light source to guide him was the moonlight shining down. The girl is standing by the river bank.Ryan woke up startled when he felt his wolf stand on all fours, his wolf suddenly woke up and got wary before screaming. “She's calling.”He was surprised by the sudden appearance of his wolf but frowned at what he had said as he gradually understood what the wolf meant.“Our partner's subconscious is calling to us.” Where is she?His wolf spoke again. With wobbly legs, Ryan got out of bed, quietly exited the house, and sniffed the air around him, trying to figure out exactly what.When he smelled the faint scent of raspberry vanilla in the air, he followed where it led him to a waterfal
Sally's POVI woke up in bed and the first thing I saw was a black curtain that had never existed in my room before. Frowning in confusion, I looked around the room, and it finally dawned on me that this was not my room.There was a faint scent of vanilla and cinnamon in the air. Why am I in his room? How did I even get here?Gently rolling back, I felt an arm on my waist. Looking up at the owner of the arm, he was still sleeping soundly, looking so peaceful. I didn't have the heart to wake him or push him away.Instead, I studied his features, he was beautiful. His parents certainly did a great job producing and birthing him. The way his eyelashes curled beautifully, how warm his chocolate eyes were when he looked at me, his perfect white skin, his sharp nose, his kissable lips (I can say this because I kissed him ), and when he smiled that place would light up.Ugh… I'm so sad.“Why don't you take a photo, it will last longer?” He said surprising me.Well, now that he's awake, I can
Sally's POV“Sister Sally,” Simon's voice seemed small at first as he quickly spoke. “Do you want to join or watch us practice today?”My eyes must have sparkled with excitement as the whole group giggled my way.“You look lovely, Sally.” Athena chirped happily. “I wish you looked like that when I invited you out for a nice shopping trip.”"I like it so much." Out of the corner of my eye, I knew Ryan wanted to protest but he kept quiet, which I was grateful for. I need this, I need.After breakfast, Simon took me to their practice area. All are fully equipped and ready to use. They have outdoor and indoor practice courts, and today, they decided to use the outdoors. The warriors even brought out a long table with weapons laid out on it, presumably for me to use.I changed into a black tank top from Athena, and even brand-new underwear. But the shirt I was wearing earlier was indeed Ryan's."Are you sure you want to do this?" Ryan asked, sounding quite scared to me.“This is just a pra
Sally's POVTo a normal man, that leg is now useless. However, I knew that wouldn't have any effect on a mythical creature like him. Maybe it's just dislocated, but he'll heal in a few weeks or months.His piercing scream echoed throughout the area, causing everyone to stand up. On the other hand, I was panting as I stood up.“Never, ever be blinded by your rage. Next time it won't end well.” I said, hoping it would go over his head. Young men like him need to lower their egos before things like this happen.“It's not broken,” I continued to assure everyone. “If so, he will have to limp starting tomorrow. It's just dislocated. I can fix it before the doctor comes.” I suggest.Everyone moved away, giving us space as I knelt next to Simon. He growled fiercely as my hand approached his injured leg.“Oh, shut up. Somebody, please keep him.” Gently and carefully, I let my finger poke around his kneecap. Correct. It's dislocated.“Now, hold him tight. This is going to be very painful.” The
Sally's POV“It looks better on you than it does on me.” He spoke hoarsely, his eyes never leaving me. But gradually, it fell to the scar on the inside of my forearm. His eyes darkened, but this time with rage.“Why don't you tell me what happened to you?” His fingers ran over the scars.I was about to say something but forgot what I was going to say when he placed a hand right between my jaw and neck, closing the space between us, and trying to kiss me again.Even though I wanted to do it again, I had to stop him. Pushing him away, I left the room without another word.I admit - yet, deep down - I want this, regardless of what's going on between us, but at the same time I'm afraid of getting hurt again. He did it once, so what's the difference next time?Slamming the door behind me, I walked further away from the house. My mind was racing so dangerously that I didn't know where I was heading.“You smell like him,” A voice said next to me, pulling me out of my thoughts.I looked at th
Sally's POVHe smiled back and faced the last rays of the sunset setting on the horizon. I couldn't help but look around until it fell into his left hand. He was holding something, a book."What do you have there?" My eyes remained glued to his hand.He lifted the book between us. “Oh, this? Just a book I started reading again, recommended by Athena.”Despite the seriousness in the air, I still laughed. “A book recommended by Athena?”I wiped tears from the corners of my eyes. “Please don't tell me this is a werewolf novel or a vampire romance novel.”He chuckled, shaking his head. “No, it's a historical romance novel.”"OH!" I was amazed at Athena's persistence in getting someone to read something she loved.“How did she succeed in getting you to read this kind of book? I know you are not the romantic type of man, not even the type who likes history.”This time he laughed. “Yes, but I have nothing to do. I could only lie depressed on the bed, waiting for death to come to me. That gir
Sally's POVOver the next few weeks, I was busy with household chores, such as reports, and evidence, and continuing the hunt for my mysterious enemy. I'm also trying to adjust to sitting on the throne and trying to multitask.It was a late Wednesday afternoon, as usual, I was locked in my father's office, rummaging through files and papers, but one paper stood out the most. Application for adoption in the name of Donne for Arnav.Arnav was adopted? How? Why?There's a photo of him and Oliver when they were about 14 years old. In the lower right corner of the photo is the date and time it was taken.September 6 - 2:45 pmMy grandmother walked into the office with two cups of coffee, and from there I smelled caffeine. I smiled and accepted it before starting the topic.“How come you never told me that Arnav was adopted?”She looked at the photo with a puzzled expression. “Because it's your aunt's matter.”I looked at her with skeptical eyes. "But everyone has the right to interfere in
Sally's POVThis question kept bothering me throughout dinner, I guess I should ask my grandmother.“Hey, Grandma,” I said, poking at the leftover rice. The woman said nothing and just looked at me. First, I sighed and took another breath.“Uhm… Let's say you were in a relationship with someone, and then you broke up. Uh… then you leave town, fast forward to years later, you come back and see him again. Somehow, the old flame of both of you flared up again, rekindling the good past, but you stopped before things got serious because you were afraid of the consequences the future would bring, just like someone else. that you care about will die.” My voice wavered."So, what do you do?" I couldn't look at her because I knew she would then start psychoanalyzing me.The woman giggled. "Is this Athena speaking or is it my niece Sally?"My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “Uhm. It's still me, Sally. Why? What did Athena do?”She shook her head, a gentle smile still on her lips. "It was intere
