Orion rushed towards where Jade lay with Kalista close behind him. "Jade!" he called out and dropped to his knees instantly. Placing one hand on Jade's neck, he went still, checking to see if he would feel a pulse. There was, but very faint. Jade's temperature was boiling hot and perspiration dotted his head, plastering his hair against his skin. His brows were knitted with discomfort and his breathing came out laboured.Kalista was sobbing quietly beside him, Jade's hand clasped lightly in hers. She began to regret asking him to mark her. "This is all my fault," she whimpered. "I... I never should have asked him to place his mark on me...""Don't blame yourself Kalista,"Orion consoled her. "Jade wouldn't want you to do that. The most important thing now is finding a way to bring out the power of the gem from him."Kalista nodded and moved back as Orion lifted Jade onto his shoulders. She followed closely behind as Orion made his way out of the forest, all the while praying to the
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 51: Horn of a Unicorn
Salem carefully lifted the top of the box and Kalista sucked in a sharp breath as her eyes fell on the terrible creature within. It was a three-headed serpent, scaly skin as dark as midnight. Its glowing red eyes glared at the two women above it. Strangely its eyes locked on Kalista and it shot out of the box, fangs exposed and aiming its strike for her.In the nick of time, Salem stepped in front of Kalista and the serpent froze, baring its fangs at the witch.Everything happened so fast that Kalista only had enough time to let out a horrified gasp and flinch. She stared at the serpent over Salem's shoulder and gulped fearfully."What is that?" she whispered."The Ghidorah," Salem answered, keeping her eyes on each of the heads of the serpent. "In other languages, it is called the Kaiju. It guards the old scrolls, and only the stongest witches can tame its fury.""It almost attacked me," Kalista voiced out, taking two careful steps backwards. "It senses you as a different creature
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 52: Kalista is gone
Salem's words echoed repeatedly in Kalista's ears.We can't save Jade. He'll die.There was a loud persistent ringing in her ears and her heart felt like it would explode. When Salem tried to touch her, she swatted the witch's hand away, shaking her head in horror."You don't mean that," she whispered."Kalista...,""You don't mean that," Kalista repeated, her voice getting louder. "Jade has a quest to complete. He needs to find a way to defeat his uncle and take back Hayden.""I know all this Kalista...," Salem began to feel frustrated but Kalista didn't give her a chance to speak."You don't know anything!," she said, her voice shrill and filled with anger. "If you do, you will do all it takes to bring him back to life. You can't just give up. Jade would never give up on you if you were in his place, and if he had the slightest chance that he could save you."At a loss of words, Salem just clasped her hands together and hung her head.Her silence infuriated Kalista and she turned on
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 53: Kingdom of Nirvana
The sun was high up in the sky when Kalista slowed to a stop and collapsed beneath a large oak tree. She heaved for breath, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She had been on the run the moment the mist took her out of the village.The incident of the past few hours played back in her mind's eye. After she took the rune from Salem, she then made her way to the temple first. She needed to see Jade one last time before leaving. The temple was empty when she stepped in. The witches had all left and a healing poultice was placed beside Jade's head, but Kalista knew it wouldn't heal him completely. Her heart broke all over again when she stood beside him amd gently took his hand in hers. His brows were knitted in discomfort and his breath came out faintly. "Oh Jade," she whispered, tears falling from her eyes. "This is all my fault. I wish... I wish I never told you to mark me. You wouldn't have been hurt." She sniffed and continued. "That is why I have to do this. I can't sit back,
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 54: You're very beautiful
"The penalty is death!"Kalista came to a stop abruptly. Death? This couldn't be happening, she thought. She couldn't let these humans discover she was a supernatural creature. And worse, if they realized she was a halfblood, would that not be the end of her? How would she get out of this mess?Roland noticed she wasn't beside him and he turned to face her."Is something wrong?" he asked in concern.Kalista quickly schooled her expression and she gave him a harmless smile. "No. I'm just appalled at the rules of your kingdom. Isn't... isn't death too much? I mean, you can't just go about killing people just because they have magic.""We don't just go about killing people with magic," Roland chuckled. "We are not savages. King Astra only placed the rule so people with magic wouldn't venture into the kingdom. The rule is to protect his people."Before Kalista knew it, they arrived at a building that towered over them. Percival who was ahead of them pushed open a large iron door and Kalis

Roland paced worriedly outside the door, blue eyes filled with worry. Once in a while, he would stop and stare at the closed door, wondering what was taking Sir Percival so long. It didn't take more than a few minutes to check someone for signs of magic. Then why were they taking so long?He didn't know why he was worried. Kalista looked like every other human, young and beautiful. He was sure she wasn't a witch or a sorceress. Then why did he have this nagging feeling within him? And even if it was discovered that she had powers, why was he so bothered about a woman he just met? Shaking the thought out of his head, he resumed pacing when all of a sudden, the door was yanked open. He turned abruptly and pinned his gaze first on Kalista, then on Percival. Kalista wasn't in chains which meant Sir Percival didn't find out anything. She was human. Roland couldn't understand the relief that coursed through him at the thought. Why did he feel so relieved for her?"Everything okay?" he ask
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 56: Feral
It was dusk and the sun was sinking into the horizon when Percival stepped into his home. His shift had ended for the day and all he could think of was a warm bath and a bottle of wine.Strangely enough, he found himself thinking of the woman that had arrived at the castle that day. Kalista. She was a very beautiful woman, but she was strange. Although he had allowed her to go because the metal detector had malfunctioned and also because he felt she was really a human, still he couldn't stop feeling suspicious of her.She was strange indeed, and he found it hard to believe that a woman as beautiful as her wasn't a witch. He would just have to keep a close eye on her. If she turned out to be dangerous, he would have to destroy her quickly, to protect the people of Nirvana. That was his oath as a knight.But if she turned out to be harmless and innocent, maybe, just maybe, he could start up something with her. He had been alone for too long. He needed a female companion.Pushing Kalista
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 57: An escaped beast
The kingdom was totally silent and empty as Tyson raced towards the direction of the knights stationed for night duty. Strangely enough, there were no knights around. Even the ones that guarded the path that led to the castle were not in sight. It was eerie and Tyson began to feel terrified.As he ran, he occasionally looked behind him, checking swiftly to see if he was being followed by the white beast. The white beast was nowhere to be found, but the feeling of being watched descended on him, making fear cloak his entire figure.On one of the occasions where he turned to check behind him, he caught a blurry movement from the corner of his eye. He stopped abruptly and whirled around, his eyes darting around crazily. He strained his ears and tried to listen through the thundering of his heart, for the slightest sound.Something snapped behind him and he spun around, eyes wide opened in terror. He didn't see a thing but he could tell the beast was circling him, waiting for the moment
