THIRD PERSON POV "Rodriguez, we need to tread carefully." Hernandez, a man with piercing silver eyes, huge and tall, said to his brother as they stood at the edge of the cliff, staring at the vast, green valley. He wore a simple shirt and jemin trousers and carried a sword by his waist. Hernandez walked closer to the edge of the cliff, staring downward. "You didn't have to push her, she's still a little girl," he added as he turned around, staring at his older brother as he lit up a cigarette and they took a drag. "We didn't come all the way here to be joked around with, Hernandez," Rodriguez said, taking another drag as the wind blew and tousled his hair. He quickly shoved his hair away from his face. They've wandered for years because of their father's carelessness, and now they are back to seek what's rightfully theirs. "All we need to do now is storm into the castle, we don't have much time to waste," Rodriguez said, taking a deep breath.

MATTEOIt's been thirty minutes since Zelda left. I hoped that she didn't go to bring another of their kind because she was going to be in grave danger of death if they were found by the warriors.I stood up, pacing around the room as I waited. Beautrix was still moving around Lilith.I walked into the bathroom and walking out, I carried a bowl of water and a towel. Placing the bowl of water by the table stand, I sat beside her, sliding my hands around her neck, raising her head, and making her rest on her chest.Beatrix flew and perched by the side, watching me as I cleaned Lilith up, and when I was done, I placed the wet towel on her forehead.Minutes later, the door flew open, and Nora walked in with Zelda in her arms.She rushed over to me, placing Zelda on the floor. "Why are you the one here?" I asked her as she pulled closer to me, staring at Lilith."Who were you expecting to come?" Nora asked me as she raised her hand on top of Lilith, unsure of herself."Lilith?" she called

HORACE"Is Lilith aware of this?" I asked.I had no idea why, but I had a feeling from the day I saw the witch... I had a feeling that she was aware and that she had a connection to Nora.The way she spoke to me, I knew I couldn't kill her just like that because she wasn't scared of dying."Yes, she is," Nora responded as she embraced me tightly. "Please do not harm her, she helped me realize who I am... Without her help, I wouldn't have known," she added, and I nodded. Even though she didn't request Lilith's life again, I still wouldn't be able to kill her.I realized she was the only friend Nora ever had. "Matteo too?" I asked.She looked up at me, wondering how I knew Matteo was also aware. She felt sorry for leaving me in the dark."I'm sorry that he had to find out before you, it wasn't intentional," she said. "Please forgive me," she pleaded.My shirt was already soaked with her tears, so I carefully pulled her away from me. "Nora, you need to stop crying. I would never do anyth

GAVNER I ran my fingers through my hair before putting my shirt on. Then I slumped on the bed. She took a deep breath. "Is it Nora? Is she the one on your mind these days?" Angelica asked as she cursed. Sadness clouded her features. I didn't trust her, she could harm Nora if she ever finds out I'd been trying to get close to her. "That's none of your business, now leave here... When I need you, I'll come to you." I snarled. "You don't have to tell me, I'm already aware." Angelica stuttered, and with that, she stumped out of my chambers. ~ I pushed the door open, walking into the meeting room as my eyes scanned around. It seemed like I cut them off from their conversation as they all stared at me. The room was stuffy and clouded with anger and contempt. I walked up to an empty chair and sat comfortably. Horace looked away from me as he focused back on the men, whose eyes were blazing with determination. "It seemed like I interrupted something here, I apologize for that," I s

NORAI wondered why she cut me off, sometimes I just wish Horace didn't get to reclaim me. I think my life would have been better and simpler if he hadn't.No one will know who I am, and I won't have to be scared to die the way I am now.My mom had risked her life for me multiple times and died, but I wouldn't let that go to waste."But werewolves don't see through walls," Lilith said as our eyes met, wrinkling my eyes. I wondered how serious the statement she made was."Are you saying Horace isn't a werewolf?" I asked, becoming more inquisitive.But I knew that wasn't possible, I had seen him shift into his wolf form countless times."I'm not going to conclude that, he's a wolf, that's why he's the Alpha... Nothing more, nothing less," she said.I knew she was aware of something, but she didn't want to tell me, or probably she didn't want me to get worried.My wolf whimpered as I suddenly felt the urge to leave there and go outside, to the hallway.Lilith gazed at me like she knew wh
