Chapter 88Bella’s POVI tilted my head to the other side as I struggled to keep my eyes open. I opened them and I almost shut them back. I panicked instantly as I stood up from where I was. I wasn’t at Marcus’s mansion. Rather I was in the woods under a tree in broad day light. I didn’t even know how I got there.I remembered vividly that I slept on the chair I was chained to, but now I had miraculously appeared in the woods. Well not miraculously because the sun shone brightly and as a vampire, I dared not step an inch. I sat under the tree. Whoever did that surely did it to punish me, but at least staying in a tree was better than being chained to a chair. It felt like forever but the day later got darker and it was fit for me to leave. I was already exhausted from sitting for long and basically rotating round the tree due to the rotation of the sun.I ran as fast as I could in a particular direction. It was hard at first but when I got to a point, the woods became familiar. I had
Chapter 89Christine’s POV“Watch, he is going to drop right now” I said with a grin on my face as I watched the drunk man stagger down the road. While Jace and I watched from a distance. The lad eventually dropped and I cheered.Jake shook his head. “He hesitated. You said right now”“It’s practically the same thing dude”“Oh don’t sweat it” he threw the cigarette he had on his lips. “Are you coming?” he asked, already walking to where the man was laid.“Common Jace are we going to feed on him?”“He is a gift from the heaven and yet you ask such a question?”“It’s better when they are awake. I like to watch them struggle” I smiled and he smiled back“Sometime I feel so proud of how far you have gone in this”I smirked as I walked toward him. “Don’t you miss the whining baby anymore?”“Oh we should stop this, it feels so wrong, you fucking turned me to a monster” he mimicked me in a high pitched voice and I smacked him hard on the shoulder.“Ouch” he glared at me. “Easy, vampires have
Ken’s POVBeing starved wasn’t the the first thing that they did to me. the constant spraying of vervain on me made it even worse for me. Marcus already had me. what I didn’t understand was why he continuously did this to torture me. I sat weakly on the floor with my two hands chained. Where I was in a dark room that stank so badly. It was so small and hot too. they had kept me there for a week and I hadn’t gotten a taste of blood. Now imagine how tired I had been. It was hard to even stand up properly. To seat was an equal war The door to my cell opened and I thought the guards have come as usual to give me my daily dose of vervain. I was surprised when they started undoing the shackle that had held me bound. Effortlessly the two guards jacked me and dragged me toward the door because I couldn’t feel my legs so walking was a bit hard for me. they led me through the hallway and I couldn’t count how many times I stubbed my toes on the hard surface. With the way my legs stung, I
Chapter 91Ken’s POV“psst” I heard from the the door of the cell I was kept in. At first I thought it was my imagination because it was highly unlikely for the guards to call me like that. They’d usually just walk in and drag me out in the most ruthless way ever. Each time I heard the door open, I always braced myself to be man handled by them.“Psst” I heard again and I knew I wasn’t imagining the sound. Slowly I dragged myself of the floor up until the length of the chain restricted me from reaching the door. I groaned in frustration because each time I tried to push past my limit, the shackle strapped firmly to my wrist dug into my already sore wrist, causing my injury to sting the more.“What the fuck do you want” I let out in rage and frustration“Relax it me Christine” I heard and my anger was pacified almost immediately.“Christine. How did you make it past the guards” the last time I checked, the place was heavily guarded with guards and I didn’t think they’d willingly let so
Chapter 92Ken’s POV“psst” the moment I heard that sound my eyes flung open like it was rebooted by it. I sat up from where I was laid and when I heard it again, I was certain that it belonged to Christine. I moved more closely to the door. As far as my chain could take me and when my wrist began to sting again, I had to stop.“Christine” I called out, keeping my voice as low as possible to prevent being heard.“I got the keys” she announce and my heart leaped for joy. But I couldn’t see to understand she was able to get em“How did you…” she didn’t me finish before cutting me shut.“We don’t have the time for this” she said and I kept shut.It didn’t take long before I heard the sound of keys jiggling. I felt anxious because I knew for a fact that if she was caught, it was going to be the end for her.It took a while, but the huge door blocking me freedom clicked as the key rotated inside of it. I knew it was too fast, but I could already smell my freedom from where I was.She opene
Chapter 93 When I heard Xavier said those words, I scoffed because it seemed like a joke to him. “Why the fuck would you tell me that, just get me away from” I asked because he made no sense. How the fuck was Ken. He had to be the strongest guy I have ever met. I had a mentality that nothing could kill him.“Yeah I found it hard to believe too. He is gone” he said and with the look in his eyes, it was obvious he wasn’t lying at all. I really hoped so because how much I shook at the mention of that.“But he is a vampire, isn’t it?”“He was starved before he was killed and the overlain only made thing worse” he added and that only made me feel worse. How was I supposed to survive, knowing fully well that one of my mate had dies? No wonder I felt unease all through the week and I had the impulse to check on him.“Who did it?”“Marcus did” he said and with that he walked out. At first tears trickled down my cheek, then I realized the tears didn’t make me feel eased at all. I placed my ha
94After much thought about If I was doing the right thing or not, I finally decided to knock and wait for the worse to happen. I knocked the first time, but nothing happened. Maybe I didn’t knock well enough. I thought. I knocked the second time and while my hand was still colliding with the door, it opened an nd I almost fell right in.Standing in front of my was Frederick sister, not him. Words couldn’t explain how much I was relieved to see her instead of him.“What the fuck are you doing here” she drew closer to me as she whispered. At the same time looking around in apprehension. It was obvious she was afraid for me.“I am here with questions” I blurted out and with the dead stares she sent in my direction gave me the cue that she was mad I even decided to show up after all“Do you want to die? You better leave before Frederick gets you. The fact that he isn’t looking for doesn’t mean he doesn’t still want you” she said still looking around to probably see if her brother was any
Kira’s pov“I am not coming to your boyfriend’s house” I made it clear to Christine over the phone.“Jace is not my boyfriend” she defended herself.“Oh that’s his name. Well whatever he is to you, I am not coming to that house” I said with all seriousness, but she ended up chuckling. It wasn’t as though I hated him. He just had a way of making me feel so uncomfortable. His eyes held a lot of hatred each time he gave up at me and I couldn’t help but wonder why Christine saving me pissed him off so much.“He is not home and he not coming back anytime soon, so you have nothing to worry about” she assured him.“I am not just not comfortable with him around” I said truthfully.“He is not always like this, inside he is just a cute bunny” she said and I rolled my eyes.“I knew you’d say something like that. Anyway imp almost there”“Alright” she hung up the call.After about 5 minutes, I was already at Christine’s house. I packed my car by the road side and made it across the street.Standi
