Alpha Khalid POV
Laurie may be an annoying young lady, but she’s really helped me clear my head off. I refused telling her the whole thing, because I didn’t want to conclude yet. It may all just be my illusion, and nothing serious. I think I’m really gonna lose my mind.
After a long drive, I finally got to the palace, and I parked my car, before stepping out, after which I walked my way through the veranda, maintaining a straight face, and the burning aura around me, as usual, sending shivers down the guards and maids spines.
They kept bowing one after the other, while I just walked pass them, like they weren’t even there. That’s how I am, that’s who I am, and I can’t change it for anyone. I finally got to my room, and stripped out of my clothes, before hitting the shower immediately.
Stepping into the jacuzzi, I relaxed underneath, and closed my eyes, as I let the warm water, do some magic on my flawless skin.
My mind wandered off to her again, and I felt my demon, groaned inside me. As much as I wanted to know what the whole feeling is all about, my fear couldn’t let me be more curious. The thought of the possibility of her, being my mate, keeps popping up in my head, but I kept dismissing it, however, my demon wanted that so badly, all he wants to think about, is she, being his mate. I find the whole thing crazy.
The sudden the urge to see her face, came consuming again, and the more I tried to hold it back, the more it kept hitting at me, and I just couldn’t help it. My demon is not helping matters, but only getting it worsened, and it’s so fucking annoying.
My mind wandered off to what happened days ago between I and Astrid, as I just couldn’t help, but doubt if it has anything to do with that girl. Just what the heck is she doing to me? Why’s she dominating all ofm my thoughts? Why does she seem to be taking over all of me?
Letting out a soft sigh, I opened my eyes, which were now as black as charcoal, my body burning in what I can’t seem to explain, my heart came thumping violently against my chest, hurting like hell, like it was going to pop out anytime soon, and the more I tried to control the pains, the more it kept taking over me.
My breath started hitching, and now coming out in more like a grunt, I gritted my teeth, and shut my eyes tightly, while clenching my fists, as my nails, which were now claws, dug dangerously into my palms, and soon, the jacuzzi was filled my own blood, but the pain still didn’t stop, I felt my heart, throbbing in pains, like someone was trying to rip it off my chest. Just what is this pains all about?
While still shutting my eyes, I felt something dropped from them, and opening my eyes slowly to see what it was, I found out that they were my own tears, my own tears of blood. In my entire life, I’ve never experienced what it is like, having tears in my eyes, I’ve never experienced so much pains, and I can’t seem to decipher where it’s all coming from.
“Argh!” I finally cried out, as I couldn’t take the excruciating pains no more, and that was all I remembered, as darkness took over me…
Octavia POV
Gathering all the remaining strength left in me, I stood up, but fell down again, as my legs couldn’t carry me no more. I felt my whole body, both external and internal, hurting like they were being set on fire, I felt my bones and muscles, hurting like they were tied up in a pile, my eyes were heavy and weak to even get a glimpse of anything, my throat was dried, as a result of thirst.
Staring down at my body weakly, a drop of tears came rolling down my cheeks, as I felt my whole life, shattering into pieces. I wished I could see mother or father, maybe I’ll still have some hope, if I get to see them. How sure I a that mother Lia is not lying to me? How sure I am that my parents are still alive and healthy?
As much as I want to be strong, and not give up, with every seconds that passes by, I felt my hope, leaving me slowly, even if I want to act like everything is ok, deep down inside me, everything isn’t fine with me. I really want to see my parents, I really need them at this time of my life, I need their hugs, I need them to tell me that everything will be fine.
I yawned tiredly and hungrily, as I crawled back slowly, until my back was touching the wall, and without holding back, I crashed on it, as I let my tears escaped my eyes freely. What kind of a life am I living? I feel like I’ve always been the problem, I feel like I was a curse from onset, I feel like I’m nothing, but a tool of destruction.
I felt my wolf cringed in pains, as I tried moving my hand. She’s been through alot too. What do you expect? She lives inside me, so we’re in this together.
I heard footsteps, approaching the prison, and I forced my eyes opened, as fear gripped me. Though I’m in the dark here, and don’t know when it’s daybreak out there, but I can’t help, concluding that it’s already time for my punishment. Why can’t he just kill me once and for all? Why does he wants to always see me suffer?
The footsteps stopped after a few minutes, as silence enveloped the entire place, igniting my fear the more.
With all the strength in me, I slowly raised my head to check who it was, but froze on my spot, as I was welcomed with a figure, dressed in all black, with a cloak over the body, and the hoodie cap, covering his or her face. As much as I want to conclude that it was the devil himself, the aura was saying the different thing, the aura I was feeling around the figure, isn’t as dangerous as that of the devil. But, who is this?…
