Chapter 19Roam I COULDN'T BREATHE. No matter how much I wanted to stop myself from looking at her through the rearview mirror, I couldn't stop myself... and it was fucking painful to see her run after me.Why? Why was she still chasing me? Her words in my head that night she ranaway was crystal clear. She might not be aware that she was sending me those words, still, it pierced through my heart like a hundred knives.Maybe she was right. If I didn't happen in her life, in this lifetime or before as Halia, maybe things wouldn't always seem so tragic for her.I tried to close my eyes as I approached the next crossroad, but when I saw Jemimah fell on her knees, shouting my name and begging me to come back, my heart got torn into pieces. Never did I ever wish to break hers...With my heart slamming hardly inside my chest, I stepped on the gas and turned the car around. I watched her get up on her feet. She was biting her lower lip

Chapter 21MY LEGS FELT NUMB after almost an hour walk. We had to travel for like four hours by car because Roam's nephew finally agreed to meet him and Izzy. Left with no choice, I had to come along since it wasn't safe to stay in the house on my own.The group Syd was said to be joining had rogue wolf members now. Even when vampires wouldn't be able to get in without proper invitation, the wolves could. They just have to drag me out and the vampires could feast on me easily.Roam must have noticed my tiredness. He anchored his arm on my shoulders and pulled me gently to his chest. "I can carry you on my back if you can't walk anymore."Touched by his concern, I looked up and gave him a smile. "I'm fine but thanks."He gave my arm a gentle squeeze after he pecked a kiss on my head. "Don't worry, we're almost there."I jerked my head in response before I gazed at Izzy who didn't seem so much of himself today. He was surprisingly quiet the wh

Chapter 23 "YOU WILL find out everything soon, I promise." Roam stood up and offered me his hand. "Your mother will tell you herself."Roam's words confused me even more. How could he say that? My mother died before. If she didn't then... I don't know anymore if I could forgive her for leaving us. I suffered since the day she left. Pain consumed me until the only way left for me to escape it was making myself believe she would never return anymore.My chest tightened as I looked at Roam's hand. I didn't want to believe that my mom was still alive because if she was, then that means I would end up hating her. I don't want that. My mother was too perfect in my memories.I took in some air and shook my head, my emotions were beginning to suffocate me already. "No. Mom died when I was young.""She didn't, but your father is blaming me for what happened. That's why he was hunting me down. That's why he joined the hunters in the first place

Chapter 25 ZENIOS was a village in the heart of Nirvana. Although people in their pack seemed normal, there was something about them that would give away what they truly were.When Lawrence parked the truck a few meters away from the biggest house in the village, Izzy carried Miss Elizabeth's crate. I hopped out, but when I saw Lawrence opened the door for Nimpha, my heart suddenly felt... jealous. My shoulders became heavy and a shallow sigh left my lips when I remembered Roam.Izzy anchored his arm on my shoulders before he gave my arm a gentle squeeze. "You're worrying again. Told you, your mate's too strong to be killed by those petty hunters."If they were petty then why did we have to leave our house in the woods? Something was just not adding up here.I heard Nimpha giggle. When I looked at them again, she was already sitting on the hood of the truck with Lawrence standing between her parted legs. His arms were wrapped around N

Chapter 27 I DIDN'T know my vocabulary was too small until I saw the majestic falls near the border of Zenios and Claivan pack. The inner borders were not entirely guarded by Deltas because  Nirvana people follow their rules strictly. One of those was to never cross the border unless invited by the territory's leader. My eyes were widened like a kid who'd seen Disneyland for the first time. My lips were widely open as I stared at the beautiful masterpiece in front of us. No, I didn't really think there was a word that's already invented that could give justice to it.Not that I was being emotional but the sight of it almost made me tear up. It has freaking layers of basin-like white rocks where the bluish water flows from the top. Its sound alone was calming already. Now I couldn't wait anymore to dive into it.Birds chirped as it hopped from one tree to another. Large oak trees lined up around, and goodness if this place wasn't p
