Chapter Fifty-OneLaila POVIt took about two weeks before the incident with my ‘supposed’ sister and hunter happened, we found out that Maya was actually related to my adoptive parents but was sent away to boarding school because of her illicit behavior towards not only me but also some kids in the area. Apparently, she found herself in the hands of hunters who trained her into one of them using her anger as a tool. She turned out to be one of their high rank officers and her mission was simple, to bring back the white wolf, that was me. She was going to almost succeed if it wasn’t for what happened then. Now I stood in front of the mirror as I inspected myself in it one last time. I was going to give a report to the elders what happened, no one mentioned it to me until later when I was going to get discharged. Atlas told me that it wasn't necessary and that I could not give a report but from the look of things, the elders were already seeing me like a nuisance and someone who can

Chapter Fifty-ThreeAtlas povI watched her move away from the field after smiling at something Derek said. My eyes followed her until she disappeared into the training house. Derek noticed me and walked over.“She’s pretty interesting.” he said while brushing his hair back. “Fierce, although I think she's holding back on a lot of things in her head.”“Thats Laila for you.”“Is that why you two had me pulled off the field? To come train her?” he asked and we walked together.Derek was one of our finest fighters who was out on special missions, with the incident with the hunters, Ares and I thought it would be best to have someone like him train her. “She needs more of an iron fists, someone who is very experienced with facing Hunters- someone like you.” I said, and he was also the only person we could trust to get the job done.“You have Ayesha, she can do what I can.” When he mentioned Ayesha I noticed the strain in his voice.“Well, we know that but she's needed someplace else. We

Chapter Fifty-FiveAres POVI didn’t expect her to reach for the bowl at the same time i did and when she recoiled it angered me that she pulled back, it was like she was avoiding me and when she rose from where she sat without looking at me i knew that she was. I watched her disappear and the door closed behind her.“Ares, give her some slack.” Atlas said and i turned to him, he was picking out the pieces in the bowl in front of him.“I’m not doing anything.” I grumbled and dropped my fork down. He was right, i was trying to throw a fit for what happened.“Ares-” I ignored him and rose to my feet and walked towards the door.“Go easy on her.” The rest of his words died away when i closed the door behind me.It was clear that i didn’t want to go easy on her, not now not ever. With her pressed against me as i held her against the walls, i could perceive her, that scent that made her to stand out in the crowd, hte same that made me want he rlike no other.

Chapter Fifty-SevenLaila POVAtlas words ringed in my head as the lady assigned to me opened the door to one of the rooms, she ushered me inside and followed right after. The room was relatively large with a single large window in the middle right, the round bed had been fixed against the wall, the covers were red and the duvet white. The room smelled like wood and fresh lilies, there was a desk opposite the wall which had candles in glass casing, they were already lit and the fragrance spread through out the room. The painitng was of chocolate brown and had a bit of wood on the wall to decor, there was several linning of animal horns on the walls, it looked like something a hunter would fancy, apart from that, the room didn’t have much inside and was bare. I stood in teh middle of the room, not sure what they want me to do.“This ‘s we’re you’be staying.” This was the first time i heard the girl speak, she had a weird intonation but i could hear her clearly. She came to the bed and

Chapter Fifty-NineAtlas povThat dress. Why was she in that dress? My mouth turned dried when she entered and her eyes skimmed over the table, my hands clutched under the table as she walked towards me. My eyes were on her face but i itched to see the rest of her, when she settled down next to me my hands found way to her bare thighs, her skin was a bit cold under my hot touch, even though she shifted she made no move to take my hands away.When i found out that i wasn’t the only one who was moved by what she saw my blood raged within and so i set out the warning right after Zick made the bold statement.“Great, anyone that dares to look at her like she’s some form of entertainment will have no eyes to see for the rest of their lives.” I had walked past the doors and waited for her, the sound of her heels echoed and when the doors closed behind her, i turned to face her.“At-” the rest of her words died down when i grabbed her hands and pushed her against the wall.“What were you t
