Epilogue ✓***They all left the room, standing at the entrance of the building as they waited for the approaching wolf pack.They were known as the Lanisters. One of the most deadliest wolf pack in the world.Years back, it was said that they once had issue with the previous king, Kaden's father which hasn't been resolved until this day.Illiana seems to be more scared than anyone. She was some how beginning to doubt what the Moon Goddess had told her.She said it was all fake and that there was no war ahead, why then are the Lanisters coming?Is it that fate has programmed a new prophecy again? One even the Moon Goddess isn't aware of?Her legs were trembling, even with the looks on their faces, one can tell they weren't coming for a peace talk.

***FLASHBACK... ( 8 Months Ago...)Illiana ✓I was setting the candles when the door opened. " Hilda, please get me some more candles. It's in the drawer. " I said without looking at who it was." Here. " Kaden said, stretching the candles to me." Hey, " I took it from him." How was your day? " He said with a kiss on my neck." Great, what about yours?" I asked back." Stressful tho, but thankfully what I had planned to do gas been settled. "" You didn't ask Coen for help? "" He was a lot busy too. Don't worry, it's all done and settled. "" Okay. Have you eaten yet? "" I'm not hungry. "" You said that yesterday, and you're saying

***Writer ✓She had called both Hilda and Laura into the drawing room. She wanted to talk to them over two good reasons.First was to kill the boredom she was beginning to feel as Kaden has ordered for a pause in her practice. He wanted her to have a break." Is there a problem, Miss?" Hilda asked." Is there really a problem, Ana? "" I think so. " She said." What is it? " They asked in unison." I wanna ask you guys a question. "" Sure, go ahead. "" If someone has to touched your stomach and say you were expecting someone soon, what does it mean? " She threw at them.Laura and Hilda both stared at themselves for a while before bursting into a long lasted laughter." What?" She asked, darting her eyes at the

***I held his hands, they were cold. Indeed, he was really scared than I am that's why I always have a double mind to tell him about my visions.But yet, I know I still have to no matter what." You don't have to be scared, we can never escape the future as far as we still breath. Like you said, I'll have to keep reading the Book to see if I can get more visions about the prophecy. "He sighs.I know he still finds it difficult to accept the sad news fate has for us, but all will turn out to be alright, not today.. but one day it surely will." I have to go to the library." I said as I stood up from where I sat." Why?"" You know I always see things at night, maybe reading the Book, I might see a new vision that can explain what the previous one means. "She rushed to the library

***I gasped, breathing heavily as I stared around the room. Kaden looked shocked as soon as I jerked up." Ana, are you alright? "" No, I'm not alright. " I said, still breathing heavily. " We've got a big problem, Kaden. "" What are you talking about? " He looked confused." Kaden.... Something big is about to happen. Something big and dangerous..."" Talk to me, you have another vision right?" I nodded at him. "What did you see this time?"" It was after the practice, I came to rest then I started to hear voices, screaming and begging for help. They were many of them, as if some one was torturing them.They all needed help but I don't know, it doesn't seem like it makes any sense at all. And when I closed my eyes to sleep, i saw myself in this place it was

***He did do as he promised.He escorted me to the library. Him with Evans were discussing while I flipped the pages of the magic book.I acted like I wasn't interested in whatever they were talking about, but my ears were actually listening to their discussion.I didn't realize I've been flipping through the pages over and over again and this is the third time, I'd say." You can just turn to page eighty three, that's where it is." Evans said.I looked at Kaden who was now looking at me. I shyly removed my gaze at him, staring at the book before me. " Page eighty three." I said to myself.I opened to the page Evans had told me, " Why do I have to study greek first?" I asked. " Why don't we just go ahead with latin first?"" Most magic words are written mainly in greek, it

MATEOThe office was quiet except for the soft ticking of the clock on the wall, and the low hum of the ceiling fan mixed with the faint crackle of my cigar as I leaned back in my chair, my eyes fixed on the city lights glowing outside the window. It’s been a rough week, and I had barely had a good night’s sleep. Even with Clara lying next to me, I couldn’t get myself to close my eyes. Maybe that’s because I feel defeatedI softly tapped my fingers on my desk, letting my mind swirl through countless thoughts I couldn’t get myself to think of. They were just too much that I could barely focus.A knock broke the silence, snapping me out of my thoughts.“Come in,” I said, without asking who it was.The door opened, and three of my men stepped inside. They stood straight and saluted me. I could tell from the seriousness on their face that they had something important for me.“Boss,” one of them said, stepping forward.“What is it?” I asked, taking a slow puff from my cigar.Marco hesita

LILYI was so thirsty and needed something to drink. It was my routine to always have a glass of water or soft drinks with me in my room before I went to bed, but for some reasons I couldn’t tell why I forgot this time.I left my room to the kitchen, then, I began to hear faint voices., and they were two of them. I recognized one to be the butler’s voice, while the other was… Clara? What was she still doing out here by this time of the night? And what’s with the whispering voices I hear?I hid in a corner, stressing my ears to hear what they were discussing. I couldn’t get what it was they were talking about, but I sure did hear her mention a ‘cross’. What cross could they be talking about, that of the De Luca family?If that’s so, what’s her business with the cross and its significance? Well, I’ll get to know what it was with the whispering voice as soon as she’s out of here.I heard footsteps retreating from the kitchen and heading toward the staircase. I needed to hide myself or sh

CLARADisappointed!That’s all I could feel right now, and if there was any word other than that, that’s how I feel. I was one step closer to finding the truth, just one step, and everything crumbled.“Urgh!” I grunted, slapping my forehead. “Come on, Clara, you went too far.”Maybe I thought too much. Maybe I was too quick to jump to a conclusion, maybe I should have thought even harder before thinking the necklace was Mateo’s. I sat back on the couch, staring at my tea. I had lost the appetite to drink it anymore, the reason I had stayed up this late was ruined.I quickly phoned Lucaa, thankfully she was awake to answer. “Clara, any news?” she asked. “Were you able to find out?”I shook my head as if she were here with me “You’re right, Lucaa, I had the dumbest idea ever.” I hated myself for even thinking my assumption was right this whole time.“I… I don’t think I understand what you’re trying to say.” She said, “You mean Mateo isn’t the real owner of the necklace?”“He’s just retu

CLARAI couldn’t get myself to sleep, so I stayed awake throughout the night. Mateo was troubled, and the frustration in the way he breathed was suffocating. Not quite long after the call, he stormed out of the room like I wasn’t even there.I wanted to call Lucaa, to tell her what I think about Dominic, but when I checked the time, it was too late to make calls. “I’ll definitely tell her tomorrow.” I thought to myself.Morning came just as I expected. Mateo had left the house sooner, the case on ground wasn’t something he could let go. However, his concern could mean two things, either he didn’t want to lose Dominic, or just the fact that it’s something about the mafia world: “Never to watch your family die without a cause.”Then I met Lily sitting in the dining. Could there ever be a time I wouldn’t have to meet her like this? Especially not in the morning?For the first time, she didn’t seem interested in me. She only looked at me for the briefest second, shook her head, and contin

CLARA“I… I don’t know, it could be. Who knows?” I stammered, still trying to make sense out of this.If this so-called Dominic is truly the father, then does that mean there’s a little hope for me? Would he be willing to accept our child? Would he be a good father and not the kind that brought trouble for his home? As much as I wanted to believe there was hope, I felt a bit disturbed.My mind was clouded with thoughts that I found it difficult to concentrate. This was actually the first time in years I felt this confused to make the right decision for something so dear to me. Somehow, I felt meeting Dominic was meeting the end of my child. No!I was brought back to the present when Lucaa snapped her fingers at me. I looked at her, then sighed. If only she knows what I was mentally going through, she would have given me more time to figure things out.“You’ve been out for minutes now. Do you realize how long I’ve been calling your name?” I could see the frown on her face and the hint

LUCAThe night started like any other, just me, Dominic, and the kind of comfort you find when you don’t ask too many questions. Dominic and I weren’t the kind of pair that shared dinner or discussed our pasts. We had an arrangement—nothing more, nothing less. I met him two weeks ago, a chance encounter at a bar. One look, one drink, and the next thing I knew, we were tangled in sheets. It wasn’t love, but it didn’t need to be. Dominic was a puzzle I didn’t feel the need to solve. But tonight, everything changed. I was on a routine hospital run, dropping off supplies to a friend who worked the night shift, when I saw them—Dominic and a few other men, being wheeled in on stretchers. Blood. So much blood. “Dominic?” The name escaped my lips before I could stop it. He didn’t see me, his head lolling to the side as nurses rushed him toward the emergency room. His shirt was soaked in crimson, almost looking like he had lost his entire blood.“What happened to him?” I grabbed a

“ ANASTASIA.. DRACO... ”( Seven Months Later )"Call me, Lucas! Call me my husband!" She cried in pains."But, my lady. You... ”" Call me my husband!" She yelled at the nurse who did that Immediately.Not quite long, Lucas walked in straight to her side." Hold me tight, don't let me go." She said in pains and tears." I will never leave you my love. I'm here for you, okay? " He assured her.She nodded continuously while the nurse asked her for a push.She screamed, her grip tight on Luca's hand. She kept gasping for air.The nurse ordered for another push which she did. Again and again, this she went on until sometime like a head was seen."I see it. I see it. One more push my lady.""Ahhhhh!!!"There came the cry of a baby filling the air."What do we have?" One of the nurse asked."It's a boy!"Lora stared at Lucas who offered her an assuring that everything was gonna be o

“ THE WAR... ”The time has come.On the battlefield stood the hunters and the demons.The night had already surfaced fully because that was the perfect time for wars like this especially when it has to do with this two creatures.Lucas sat on his black horse coated in pure golden armor with some other of his men who were actually his war front men.While the rest of his armies stood at the back. And from the gathering Lora walked silently to the front with her head covered with her coat cap, hiding her identity.No one seemed to have noticed her entrance until she made it to the front beside where Lucas stood.According to fate... Lora was meant to fight along side with him.Both leaders rode to the middle of the battlefield as a normal way to do. Luca's eyes held darkness, darkness the hunter leader feared not.He laughed evilly. "Do you think I'm scared? No. I've patiently waited for this moment to come and I'll mak

“ LORA IS ORDAINED... ”( A Week Later )"The war is in two days time, likewise your one year training is coming to an end. Lucas will be waiting for you. You always read his letters, don't you? " Asked Nyk as they stroll around the castle." Yes, " she replied with a nod. "I still have them with me.""That's good." She sighed deeply. " Tonight, you'll be fully ordained by the witch sisters. You'll be becoming a true witch, you have to get yourself ready before the time. "" I will. "Nyk nodded again.They kept quiet, none saying a word to each other as they kept walking.Lora groaned, rubbing her head slightly. Nyk looked at her."Are you okay?""Yes, it's just a little headache, I'll be fine."But the little headache was becoming so severe. She stopped walking, touching her head. Just then, she felt her stomach grumping and she felt neusea."Lora, is everything alright?" Nyk asked, holding her."I think

“ SAVED... ” ~ Matilda ~I picked the courage to talk to priestess Nyk. Even if they don't listen to me, I wanna live a clear mind.I knocked at her door."Come in." She permitted immediately without asking who it was. I guess she's kinda having a visitor.I walked, shutting the door gently behind me. Indirectly, or I'd say quietly taking in as much air as my nostrils can occupy." Matilda." She called my name in a surprise.No one expects me for a chat so, it's definitely not her fault seeing me."Please have a seat." She offered me and I sat while she dropped her ink, shifting the brown scroll beside. "Okay. Is there any way I can help you?""I wanna tell you something, it's been bothering me for some days now. " I started." Okay." She nodded. I'm listening. "" It's concerning Lora. " I said and her eyes widened in surprise."What does that mean? What has happened to her?!" She asked in a yell.

“ DARK LORA III... ”He flipped each page of the book over and over again. Life has been bored for him without Lora.It's been five months her haven't seen or heard from her and all he wished for was her safety.Only twice and that was two months ago his mother sent Lora's letter to him. Since then, no letter, nothing.Brian walked in with a scroll which contained the reports of the kingdom affairs.Taking it from him, he read through the reports, dropping it on his desk. He rubbed his eyes, everything was going well in the kingdom. But what about him?Even recalling his moments with her wasn't making things better, he wanted to see her. He wants her standing right beside him, promising him that she'd never leave his side.But still, he knew going to the witche's castle was the only option to keep her safe likewise everyone else.At night, when it was time for him to sleep, he would feel the bed empty.

“ DARK LORA II... ”" Lora..." It called once again.She knelt with a single leg. "Yes, mistress. Your servant is at your service. "She smirked evilly" Yes, I can see that." Said the voice. " Finally, I found you dear child. I've waited for months for your arrival, and now I've seen you, you'll be of a great task for me."" Your wishes are my command." She said still on her knee.Out of the witche's lips came a devilish laughter. It was so strong and hard to the listeners ears.~~~~~~~~~~~~She stretched her body as soon as she got down from the bed.Whew! What a long night.She looked at the sky. “ Oh! No. ” It's almost to nine.She rushed for a shower. She didn't take much time for the dressing, she ran to professor Morgan's class.She tried her possible best to make her entrance unknown as professor Morgan wrote on the board but, it ended up being in vain.
