Austin's POV.It was cowardly of me to leave after finding my mate, but I couldn't face her especially when I had called her a liar multiple times. She was once a human, but I was certain my wolf sensed her wolf.How did it happen? The most amusing part was how she turned out to be my mate. I had thought I was going to be mateless for the rest of my life, but Selene then decided to mate me with a girl who I had pushed away so much. Now what? I asked myself. I was so used to being mateless. I had a mate now and I didn't know how to go about with it. If I accepted her as my mate which I had to, then what? I wasn't even sure of her sanity with the multiple stories she kept bringing up about Kira. “You didn't go to classes today?" I heard and turned to look at Derek who made his way to where I was seated on the boulevard."I did" I replied bluntly. I canceled all my classes for the day when I found out the girl I disliked so much was my mate. I was down, but Huxley my wolf, was too deli
Christine POV.“Then let me die" I spat out in anger before turning to leave. Tears gathered in my eyes as I walked away. He was right. If I continued this way I was going to die. I kept getting weaker and weaker day after day. That strong thirst still lingered in my mouth. My voice had even gotten more gravelly. I knew the solution to my problem, but I didn't want to take it. I had a feeling that if I continued to starve myself and feed on normal food, I might be normal again.The taste of food had never been so awful. Water is way worse. Each time I tried to quench my taste with water, I always ended up vomiting all the content from my stomach. All my brain could think of was blood and I knew I was going to go insane if I as much smelled blood from any corner.My life had never been so miserable before. It felt like my heart had turned dark with the void. I was even avoiding Xavier. I was sure he wanted to help me or find out what was wrong with me, but I didn't let him.It seemed l
Christine's POVMy eyebrow knitted in confusion as I stared at him. I didn't know where the courage I got came from. I stood up from where I was, peering my eyes at him, without showing a single atom of fear. It was as if all my fear left the moment he said I should bring Mirabel to him.“What do you mean by that?"There was a lady there who spoke up. I didn't even realize her the first time I walked into the room.“It's okay" she smiled at me as she walked towards me, but her smile didn't make me trust her a bit. “We are family now, you don't have to act so tensely"“Families don't kidnap its members." I glared at her. “We are not family"She turned to look at the man who appeared to be the leader of the supposed cult. They all looked creepy. The most normal looking one was Jace. He was less distorted.“When last did you feed, you look sick" one of the men asked. He had very dark hair with the palest skin of all of them."I am not one of you. I am not a monster”Jace gave off his sig
We stood side by side and he spoke. “When that man gets closer, you'll attack him" he blurted out and I looked at him like he had lost his mind“Are you joking?" I nudged him from the side, but he didn't look like he was joking.“If you don't do it, I will" “Is this the food you talked about?"“What were you expecting, pizza and ice cream," he asked and I rolled my eye at him.I folded my arms. “I'm not doing” I stood my ground. He couldn't tell me what to do.“Even if you don't do it now, you are likely going to do it later on. Anyway, he's getting away" Jace said and before I could say a word, he was gone.My heart skipped a beat as I turned to look at the man who was filling his car with petrol. I knew he was going to be attacked by Jace at any moment. I wanted to stop Jace, but the problem was, I didn't know where he was. I panicked and thought of entering the car and driving out of there as soon as possible. But I knew Jace had the capability of going after a fast car. He was g
Kira's POVI clutched my book to my chest as I walked like my life was over. I didn't care if people stared at me. I didn't just see the need to hide my misery. Austin had ghosted for a whole day since he found out I was his mate. He probably couldn't come to terms with me being his mate. I couldn't tell if it was his ego or if he was scared of something. Whichever it was, I wished he would tell me to my face once and for all, and I'd just move on with my life.Speaking of the devil, Austin was right in front of me, approaching me, but I didn't act like I saw him. I wanted to walk past him but he held me back. His eyes were soft almost as if he was pleading with me to listen to what he had to say.I wanted to ignore him, but Anabelle was as stubborn as me. “What is it Austin?" I asked with a casual demeanor when in a real sense, I was dying on the inside.“I want to talk to you" he sounded too demanding, I hated it. “You are speaking to me now"“Not here, can we..."I didn't let him
Kira POVAs much as I wanted to walk to where she was and yank her forcefully by the hair, I didn't. I was already exhausted from the day's stress. I got into my car and started it, but it chose to act up again. I was truly frustrated. It was the fourth time, it was putting up an act.I got down from the car and looked around. I would have called Christine to give me a ride, but I couldn't stand her. I knew she couldn't stand it either. Austin would be willing to give me a ride, but that would mean I had also forgiven him for what he did.I was about to grab my phone to call Ken, but I saw him. He wasn't alone. He wasn't with the devil himself_Xavier.I felt sick to the match just at the sight of him. Why did have to be with Ken when I needed him? I didn't want Xavier around me because I couldn't stop blaming him for Christine's sudden change of attitude. I didn't know what he had done to her to make her hate me so much. Probably he gave her a kind of vampire portion that made her lik
Ken's POV“So I got my wolf recently” I heard her say and I almost didn't believe it because it was impossible. A human couldn't become a werewolf overnight. Except there was some authenticity in her story after all. “ Is that possible?" I had to ask because the scenario was truly confusing. I couldn't just wake up one morning and become a wizard. “I got it yesterday” She added even without me asking her. I suddenly remembered how different she looked that day. Her eyes looked wild in both desperation and hunger.I remember how my wolf was immediately restless at the sight of her. He didn't act angry as he had always been around her instead he was uncontrollable. There was this smell around her and it almost drove me insane. I had never experienced something like that before. I didn't say anything because I still found it hard to believe.“I know it's crazy, but I'm glad Selene chose to free me from part of the torture she out me in" she addedIt then occurred to me that if she did
Christine's POV“You don't expect me to sacrifice my friend to him, do you?“ I snapped at Jace who was persistent about me bringing Mirabel to Marcus. “I don't owe you guys anything" I added with the grimace of irritation not leaving my face. I wanted him to see how angry I was and he would probably let me beIf the door wasn't locked, I knew I wouldn't be having this conversation with him. Probably he thought I belonged to his secret cult of bloodsuckers just because I fed on a dead man.“You do realize you can't tell Marcus that?" he asked and I rolled my eyes at him. At that point, I pretty much didn't fear anyone. I didn't care if Marcus was the most dangerous vampire in LA, I wasn't going to bow to anyone. “He doesn't own me, so I don't have to speak with him. Besides, I don't even speak with her anymore, so it's going to be hard to do that"“Well since you don't feel attached to her anymore, that'll make things easier for us wouldn't it?". Jace suggested. “I am not doing it" I
