novelxo Chapter 165
165 Voices in my head II [ Warning : Slightly triggering episode ] Nathan The figure stopped and chuckled a low , eerie sound that sent a shiver down my spine .
I here I was trying to be sneaky this time I scoffed , my lip curling in disgust .
Go learn some propriety .
I spat .
And get out of my head .
Youre not real .
I know youre just an illusion and I wont let you mess with my mind .
The figure smirked , stepping closer .
Oh , but Im real enough , arent I ? You hear me , you see me , you feel my presence .
Thats all that matters .
I clenched my fists .
Stay out of my head .
It laughed again .
The sooner you accept me , Nathan , the better itll be for both of us .
It moved closer , its form shifting like smoke in the wind .
Were more alike than youd like to admit .
We share the same pain , the same hatred for Ramsey , and even the same love.
Im not interested in becoming your henchman , I cut in sharply .
If you want to punish Ramsey so badly , do it yourself .
The figures expression darkened as he glided towards me , reaching out a hand that went through mine .
Isnt it fascinating that I can reach you like this ? it mused .
You feel me because were connected .
That day through the portal , I felt it and you felt it too that delicious little darkness in your heart .
It paused , its presence growing heavier .
The darkness is your true strength and it will grow .
Im offering you the chance to nurture it properly .
To exact the revenge you truly desire .
My chest heaved with anger and fear warring inside me .
Youre wrong .
Im not evil .
I agree , the figure tilted his head , his eyes gleaming .
Not yet .
But Im allowing you to explore what you can do to your hearts content .
To do what you kept thinking about buried above the ground in that dark dungeon for four years .
Damn ! Let go already , Nathan ! I stared at the figure for a long moment , my heart pounding .
Then , without a word , I walked past the figure , ignoring it , but it showed up in front of me again .
Go fuck off , I snarled , my patience finally waning .
The next time you come to me again , Il make sure I harm you in a way youd never see coming .
I am not evil .
The illusion finally vanished , and I was alone once again .
I stood still for a moment , trembling , my hands still clenched into fists , and my breath had gone shallow .
I am not evil , I muttered desperately , trying to quell the quiet voice in my heart that was saying otherwise .
I am not evil .
I am not evil .
I didnt stop until the trembling in my hands subsided .
After several deep breaths , I turned and ran back to the pack .
Emerging from the forest and heading toward the Central Pack building , saw my father running toward me , his brows furrowed with anxiety .
Nathan , where the fuck have you been ? he demanded , but before I could respond , he 165 Voices in my head II Nathan , where the fuck have you been ? he demanded , but before I could respond , he continued urgently .
Theres been an attack at the Pup Daycare Center .
Ferals broke in and theyre speculating that theyre a lot of injured pups , My blood ran cold .
The Pups ? Yes ! he nodded , his eyes flashing with impatience .
You went for a run in that damn forest again ? his eyes hovered the length of my body .
You know what ? I dont have time for that .
Fucking do what you want , but now , your pack needs you .
I asked a Gamma to bring the car around .
No sooner had the sentence left my dads mouth than his car pulled up in front of me .
Immediately , he opened the car , and I entered , followed by him .
As we drove , I couldnt fight the urge that this was related to the apparition I saw moments ago .
When did the attack happen ? I turned to my father .
* Is that even important ? he retorted .
Just answer me , Dad … goddamnit ! I swore … feeling the tightness in my chest return .
My father stared at me suspiciously , before he sighed and replied .
About twenty minutes before I saw you .
Approximately the time that the apparition had disappeared .
I tapped on the seat of the Gamma driving .
Move this car , for fucks sake … drive faster .
I didnt wait for the car to come to a stop .
I was already out , running towards the daycare centre .
What I saw made my heart clench .
The building was in shambles windows shattered , furniture overturned , toys scattered across the floor .
Everywhere I looked , frightened pups clung to their parent , crying ; their faces etched with fear and grief .
Whos in charge here ? I demanded , my voice cutting through the commotion , waving at the people scampering to their feet to greet me .
A middle aged woman stepped forward .
Her face was pale and tear streaked .
I am Alpha Nathan Tell me what happened ? I demanded gently .
How many people were injured ? The woman shook her head .
We were in the middle of a lesson when they came Ferals at least five of them , out of nowhere .
They … they didnt directly attack the children , but they destroyed everything .
Their presence terrified the children , but they didnt seem to be concerned about them .
They just destroyed everything .
One of our nannies tried to stop .
and got scratched .
Weve sent her to the hospital , but otherwise … she swallowed hard .
It was mostly property damage and scared children .
them I released the breath I hadnt realized Id been holding .
Ill cover all the damages immediately .
I promised .
Thank you for not panicking and attacking the Ferals .
It could have been more violent than that .
Therell be a next time ? The womans eyes widened with terror .
I held her shoulders and shook my head .
I would never allow that to happen again .
Dont worry .
105 Voices in my head I I held her shoulders and shook my head .
I would never allow that to happen again .
Dont worry .
Now go home and rest up , okay ? She nodded and thanked me .
As I turned to leave , a familiar voice echoed in my mind .
That was just the beginning , the voice said , Next time you tell me to fuck off , therell be dead .
