She couldn't afford to let her guard down.Unbeknownst to her, her wound slowly closed, healing instantaneously as if time itself had reversed.Jade, observing her wound heal, found his suspicions confirmed.

The Alpha's Dark Obsession 11: Unveiled truth
Alpha Xerxes paced restlessly within the confines of his chambers, his countenance etched with worry and fear. On the grand bed, a tray of delectable dishes remained untouched, a stark reminder of his preoccupied mind. Even the occasional rumble of thunder failed to capture his attention, for his thoughts were consumed elsewhere.His concerns centered on his son, Jade, who had embarked on a perilous journey a year ago in pursuit of the Soul Gem and to avenge Izabelle's tragic demise. Yet, since his departure, there had been no word from him, leaving Alpha Xerxes in astate of agonizing uncertainty. He could not fathom what might have befallen his son, and the absence of communication intensified his apprehension.However, as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Alpha Xerxes shook his head, admonishing himself for succumbing to needless worry.

The Alpha's Dark Obsession 12: Trust me
"I saw something I never should have seen," Kalista whispered. "It was a Gem, the same Gem you are searching for. I saw it that day you saved me"Jade said nothing and just allowed her to continue at her own pace. "I think he buried it to keep it hidden, but I saw it," Kalista continued. "And then... something strange happened""What happened?" Jade asked gently, his eyes never leaving hers."The glow from the Gem went into my body. At first I was so confused because it was something I've never experienced," Kalista rushed on. "When you asked me why he had attacked me, I was scared and confused. I didn't know how to tell you, and I didn't mean to lie...""The Gem's glow disappeared into your body?" Jade asked, not sure if he heard her well."Yes," Kalista nodded slowly. "Also, after I left you at the inn, the man attacked me again in the forest, but then the most shocking thing occured. I used the powers of the Gem to protect myself""You harnessed the Gem's powers?" Jade's frown dee
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 13: A clue
The next morning, word had gone round the kingdom of Northville about Kalista's home. Rumours spread that a wild animal had broken into the house and attacked Maria, but Kalista had escaped luckily.People gathered around the ruined cottage, some huddled in different groups as they gossiped within themselves. Among these humans was Kyle. He stood a little distance away from the cottage, eavesdropping on the humans as they gossiped and tried to gather information.According to what he heard, Kalista hadn't been found yet. People wondered if the wild animal had chased after her and killed her also while others covered Maria's lifeless body.Kyle remained where he was for a long while, listening to the humans gossip foolishly. He knew where Kalista was. She would be with Jade, and since Jade was still at the inn, he concluded that she would be there.Without a backward glance, he turned and walked away.His mind was a flurry of thoughts. Jade must have discovered that Kalista was a half
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 14: Another secret revealed
The sharp rays of sunlight filtering into the room roused Kalista and she opened her eyes. For a moment she appeared confused, wondering where she was and how she got there. And then the memories came. She remembered what occured the previous day. So it hadn't been a dream, she thought. Everything had actually happened.Her mother was gone forever. Jade was a werewolf, and she was a half-blood, with the powers of the Soul Gem.At the thought of her late mother, tears welled up in her eyes and she cried. She sobbed quietly for a moment, mourning the loss of the woman that had taken her in and raised her as her own. She would forever love Maria, but now she had to find out who her real parents were.The first thing she had to do was to unravel the mystery surrounding her birth. Since she was a half-blood, it meant one of her parents had been a werewolf and had fallen in love with a human. But why had she been abandoned? Didn't they want her?Her head hurt from thinking too much and sh
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 15: The Swordsmith
Kalista felt her heart slam against her chest as Gregory's words registered within her. He knew? How did he know Jade wasn't human? Had he been there that night?"That can't be true," she shook her head. "Jade is human. What makes you think he's not?""It is a long story," Gregory continued, oblivious to the shocked look on Kalista's face. "I wish I can explain how I know, but it doesn't matter"He then gripped her arms and peered into her eyes. "I'm sorry Kalista, but you must stay away from him," he said worriedly. "I fear he has a hand in your mother's death. Their kind hasn't mingled with us for years, thus it is strange that he would show up here. I plan to expose him, that's why I don't want you to be associated with him when I do"Kalista's heartbeats increased with each word that emitted from Gregory's mouth. She couldn't let Jade's secret be discovered. She had to do something"Sir Gregory," she began hurriedly. "I was with Jade all through the night. He isn't what you think
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 16: A trap
Jade stared at the man before him suspiciously. His brown eyes narrowed, scrutinizing Kai like an insect. To be honest, he didn't feel anything from the nervous looking man standing before him. He didn't feel any threat, his inner beast didn't feel the slightest danger.Maybe it wasn't him."Jade?" Kalista touched his hand when he remained quiet. "Did you have something to say to him?"Jade stared at Kai for a few more seconds before he shook his head. "You're a swordsmith", he stated."Yes sir," Kai bowed slightly to show his respect."A weapon of yours caught my attention," Jade continued. "A dagger, with a peculiar symbol at the hilt. An arrow in the sky""The dragon heart dagger," Kai nodded. "It has the symbol of Northville. It is one of my specialty""And do these daggers travel wild?" Jade asked further. "They do, sir," Kai responded. "People from different cities and kingdoms travel down here to the central city to purchase my goods. Is there a reason for your questions sir?"
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 17: The first murder
Kalista rushed through the willow forest, looking behind her occasionally to make sure she wasn't being followed. The path to her home appeared lonelier than usual and it sparked a flame of fear in her mind, propelling her to move faster so she could return to Jade on time. A part of her wondered why Jade didn't come with her. Jade had proven to her that he would do everything to protect her, thus why didn't he go with her to get her late mother's trinkets? Did he have a reason for it? Pushing the thoughts away from her mind, she hurried through the grassy path and walked up the stone steps that led to her home. Pain and anguish threatened to take over her as she remembered again that her mother was gone. The villagers had come earlier to bury her mother's dead body, carrying out the final rites according to their tradition. There wasn't much to find in the cottage that now lay ruined and abandoned. Kalista quickly made her way to the secret section in the hallway where her mother
