Chapter 26
Silence.
The unnerving feeling of standing in a clearing surrounded by towering trees, where not a whisper of the wind nor the rustle of trees could be heard.
Deadly silence.
All alone.
Say something!

Liza's POV I hugged Bea closely to me as we walked down the hospital hallway, heading towards the receptionist desk on the front floor of the building. "Do you know where your dad is?" I asked her gently. Bea shook her head and frowned, "Papa say no move but Bea know nobody." Aaah so she moved because all the unfamiliar faces startled her. "Don't you have anymore family?" "Papa and mama is family." Sympathy swirled inside me at that, and I rubbed her back to sooth her, "Alright then let's go and ask around for papa. I'm sure he'll notice you're gone soon." We took the elevator downstairs as I started up a small conversation with her to make her feel more comfortable. Simple things like her favourite colour and animal were asked as we took our short journey down onto the first floor. "Why cats though? I think dogs are much cooler," I commented when I found out her favourite animal was a cat. Bea shook her

Axil immediately came to my side and placed a hand on my waist, gently guiding me out of the lab and back into the conference room. I sat down in one of the chairs and tried to calm my gurgling stomach. "W... Wha... What was that?" A frown tugged at his lips as his worried eyes scanned my face, "you weren't supposed to see that," he muttered. "Axil, what was that?" I asked shakily. He sighed and ran a hand down his face, "it looks like Tiana and my uncle continued their experiments. That room must have been their lab." My lips curled in disgust, "that's sick. How could anyone do that?" Axil didn't respond but the anger in his eyes could be seen through clearly. My mind drifted back to when I had first entered the room and sensed the presence of a witch. Thinking of the time in which the spell was casted, it was possible for the witch to still be within the building. My heart strengthened in resolve as I thought of somethi

Tiana was being held at the police station, in a very secured interrogation room with about four guards who made sure she remained unconscious day in and day out. It was a smart move on their part as by doing so she’d have no way of escaping or contacting her partner in crime before they could figure out what to do with her. As I walked through the police station with the twins trailing in front of me, I couldn’t help my eyes from wandering all over the building in curiosity. I’ve never been to a police station before, but I found that it wasn’t all that different from the ones you’d see on the television. It was also bustling with people as they walked around in their uniforms. I asked curiously, “are all the people in here werewolves?” Abel answered, “most of them, yeah. We’re trying to keep up appearances as we figure out where we go forward from here. There are still people breaking out from under the stone.” “What? It’s been days.” I exclaimed in

“What!?” Abel exclaimed in surprise. I ignored him and stared intently at the flash of emotions that flitted across Tiana’s face as she registered my question. Finally, her wary eyes met my own, “What are you talking about?” I snorted and raised an eyebrow, “Don’t think I’m stupid after that shocked expression you just showed. Answer the question.” Her lips thinned into a straight line as a blank look decorated her face. I knew what that look meant. I wasn’t going to get an answer from her, but I didn’t need to get the answer directly from her lips. To prove me right, she responded, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I sneered at her blatant lies and turned to glance back at the brothers, “do me a favor?” “What is it?” Axil asked. “Listen to her heartbeat and tell me when it starts to race.” Axil’s eyes shone with anticipation as he nodded and waited for me to begin. I turned my attention back to

So, the council was looking for me? Only me? If that were the case, they probably knew nothing about my sisters’ existences. Otherwise, why else would she just state that they were looking for me? I needed to find out more about this and possibly warn the others. “The council is looking for me?” I asked her. “Sweetie, you’re like a ticking time bomb in the council’s eyes. You should be happy they’re not raising hell on earth to find you,” Tiana grumbled weakly. “Just me?” I further probed. She shot me a sarcastic glare, “You are Elena are you not? I doubt any other survivors are as important as the heir to the fucking circus show.” My heart stuttered in surprise as the familiar name met my ears. They didn’t know about me? No… they didn’t know about any of us besides Elena. Was this mother’s doing? Did she make them believe that she only had one daughter? Why? I turned my head away from her and met Axil’s curious eyes. He’s been quiet t

The silence was so loud that I could hear my own heart beating. Thump… thump… thump It was calm and steady with no signs of it ever increasing its speed, and my mind was peaceful for once. No chaotic thoughts or any visions that had me even more confused than I already was. I couldn’t see. There was darkness around me, shadowing me from the world that I found myself trapped in. I couldn’t move. My limbs were frozen in time as I continued to lay there in this suffocating silence. Why couldn’t I feel anything? Why couldn’t I see anything? Why? The darkness around me was terrifying just as much as it was enticing, and the longer I stayed there the more I found myself wanting to stay… forever. “St…” A voice! Finally! I heard something. Within this endless darkness, my ears picked up the sound of a plea and I strained myself to listen as the voice became louder. “Ru…”

With Axil's speed, we made it back to the clearing in no time. The beautiful waterfall appeared before me once more and as I slid off Axil's back, a sudden thought struck me. I was living out a fantasy that I've read and heard about so many times in novels. Like... I always knew they existed because c'mon, I'm literally solid proof. I've lived so many years thinking that I'd never enter back into the supernatural world that I began thinking of them as mere myths. But here I was now. A little witch standing next to a werewolf who says that I'm his mate and talking together in a mythical clearing that is said to be inhabited by fairies. Who'd believe that? Axil nudged me gently with his head to pull me out of my thoughts and I turned to him and handed him his clothing. He took them in his mouth then trotted behind a tree to change back. I went to sit at the side of the pond and rolled up my jeans to dip my feet into the water. The water was cold

We stayed that way for a while as I released all the tears and emotions that I had bottled up inside. I couldn’t meet his eyes anymore, so I kept my face buried into his chest. “I’m not a good person, Axil.” I mumbled brokenly, the gaping hole in my heart from back then making an appearance once more, “I’m selfish and self-centered, and I have no regard for anyone but myself and my family.” Axil wrapped his arms around me and began to rub circles into my back in a soothing manner, “and what makes you think that?” “When I first got to earth and the cops found me under that bridge, I was devastated. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. My mother was gone, my people dead and I got separated from my sisters. I had nothing anymore and I didn’t know what to do. I wanted revenge. I wanted to kill everyone who played a part in my people’s destruction. Then I was adopted into Liza’s family. They took me in and for a while, I refused to acknowledge them as my parents becau
