Kane. I didn’t notice the exact moment Rune left her room, but the moment her scent became faint, I knew something was wrong. I never moved so fast, rushing out of my room to hers to check if she was there and why her scent became faint. To my horror, she wasn’t. My heart dropped. Quite frankly, I never cared much about where she went or didn’t go; as long as she didn’t leave the territory, I didn’t mind, but tonight was different because not only was it late at night, but also because I just found out she was a target of the wicked plan against my pack. “Where are you, Tiny?” I tried asking using mind link, but my voice bounced back. Alarms went off in my head, and I dashed out of her room, using her scent as a guide. “I hope she wandered out alone, and this is not a case of kidnap because I will tear off the limbs of every filthy thing that touched her,” Ky growled. I found myself nodding in agreement, not because I cared for her, but because harming her meant my subjects had no

Rune.The four days without Kane let me in on a very shocking revelation. The one thing I tried my hardest to avoid finally happened, and I couldn’t move on from it.I unintentionally developed feelings for Kane outside the bond we shared. The realization struck me on the day he left while I hugged myself to sleep, missing the scent of him that lingered in the air whenever he was close. I quickly banished the thought. I tagged it as a negative reaction to his absence, as it didn’t seem likely that I had developed feelings for him out of the blue. However, I couldn’t deny the evidence any longer. My mind was stuck on the last encounter we had, the way his grey eyes stared deeply into mine with a spark of undefinable emotion in them, the feel of his rough fingers on my face, and the jittery feeling it left me with. I couldn’t tell at what point in time I developed feelings for him, but I knew I did, and I couldn’t hide it anymore.I turned in my bed towards a sleeping Kimi, who was sno

Rune.Doc didn’t kill me. Yet. Although, he tried.After my outburst, he wrapped his fingers around my neck, choking me and cutting my oxygen supply. I truly felt like I was going to die and contemplated begging for my life, but I didn’t because it was all a mind game. I was scared, but I couldn’t show them I was scared, or they’d treat me far worst than they did. My time as a servant taught me that much. Back then, I felt guilty and thought I had to take the insults and maltreatment to pay for what my father did. The more pathetic I was, the worse they treated me. Not again. Even after Doc released me–thanks to the other wolves that reminded him that killing me was not the plan–I still felt threatened by the parting gaze he shot me that I refused to eat everything they offered. They agreed it would be their loss if they killed me because it meant they would have a lesser chance of reaching their goal. But I was not convinced.It was my third day in captivity–or at least I believed

Rune.Kane pulled me into his lap almost immediately, cradling my face to his chest, whispering to me that I was fine and I didn’t have to worry about anything. He was right; I didn’t have to worry about anything because he was with me. I felt safe with him; the relief that flooded my body at perceiving his scent was enough proof, but I couldn’t stop the tears that poured from my eyes. I was overwhelmed by everything that had happened in mere days. I’d had a few near-death experiences, and each time I was saved and recovered, I always thought it was the worst thing that could’ve ever happened to me, but this was it. My body was weak, I could barely move, and I’d lost Kimi; I ran until I fainted, after which I woke up in Black’s arms. I found out last night that Mystery Wolf had a name, and it was Black. The escape was not easy. It would’ve been impossible if Black had not made a difficult decision, which I was against but didn’t have the time to protest.

Rune.The first thing I inhaled was the stench of blood as Kane marched toward us. I trailed my eyes from his face down to his hands, where blood was dripping from them. An alarm went off in my head, and I shot to my feet immediately, concern flooding my body. “Are you okay?” I asked, bewildered. Instead of replying, Kane wrapped his bloody fingers around my wrist, pulling me to him before he carried me in his arms and out of the cafeteria. Embarrassed, I shut my eyes as he took me in his arms across the entire base and back to his room. “What did I say right before I left?” He heaved heavily. “You said you wanted to find me here when you returned,” his face hardened. “I went to eat,” I defended myself. His face hardened further. “You weren’t eating when I found you,” he breathed, and I swallowed. “I was talking to Black, thanking him for saving my life,” I blinked. Kane growled in response. I did not understand where his anger was coming from. He’d been the sweetest to me before
