Chapter: Epilogue - Sleeping BattleEdwin was laying on the ground, he could feel everything but he couldn’t move, he felt the tears that had run down Alexa’s face, he also felt a sharp pain on his hand, made by Alexa’s claws, he felt the time go by, seven times the sun had come up and gone down, and it was the dawn of the eighth day when he felt his strength come back, he stood up, feeling empty inside as if a part of himself was missing, he looked around and everyone was awakening, almost everyone, the ones they were battling against still laid motionless on the ground, and every single person that was awakening felt confused. He charged there, remembering all the words said between Alexa and Flavius, he ordered that any of the sleeping soldiers should be restrained and taken back to a secure location, where they couldn’t run anymore. Joining the others on the northern wall he saw Elia getting patched up for Gwen, Flora came in his direction, asking for Alexa, but he signaled to her that they still had a lot of work

Chapter: Chapter 47 - The Sacrifice Alexa growled, warning the cloaked man, of her attention, and that she was ready to strike, he laughed at her attacking posture and growling advertisement, “no, no, no” he sang, like he was taunting her, that made Alexa a bit confused, Edwin was bonded in that orange light he didn’t seem hurt, but she was unable to keep seeing him like he was frozen in time, “if you kill me, dear Edwin here, will have a very agonizing and painful death,” that sent shivers down Alexa’s spine, “now, how about we take this up as civilized people and talk it up!” She glanced at Edwin and understood that she couldn’t do anything else but comply with Flaviu’s order, she turned back to her human form and looked the sorcerer right in his eyes, seeing his face for the first time, and the big scar that he had across his face made her turn her face away, but that seemed to anger the sorcerer, “oh! You don’t like my face? Did you know it was your father o made this? He ruined my good looks forever, he ruined my

Chapter: Chapter 46 - Brother and SisterDarkness surrounded them, as the moonless night sky was upon them, they heard the main army clashing against the Northern walls, arrows, flames, and swords, metal armor and screams of the wounded ripped through the night, and they were sitting still, waiting, for the attack that would come from the south, the real trouble was here, where the war could be decided, for better or worse.Edwin looked one last time to Alexa as if he wanted to memorize every tiny detail of her face showered by the light of the torches. Alexa noticed the stare and looked at him, smiling, as if saying that everything was going to be well, Charles had been relocated to help Elia, Patricia, and Schirouca, Truman, and Flora remained with them, as it was Michel team, just in the shadows, waiting to attack.The battle on the North wall was going on for a while, making everyone in the south wall jumpy and second-guessing themselves, "what if they wouldn't attack from the south wall? What if they

Chapter: Chapter 45 - DesertionThey waited until a commotion was heard from outside the door, metal clinking against the metal of their armor, boots stomping on the ground, and the doors to the dining room opening suddenly, Alexa looked towards the group of six people, that for the smell she could tell, four of them were werewolves and the other two were vampires, she crossed her arms on her chest and examining them quickly, as they bowed their heads she spoke, slowly, "Who are you? And why are you here?""We heard your message to the werewolves, how we can be accepted here, without fear and abuse, how we can be treated equally and without being wild!" A short woman spoke, taking a step forward, "We want an opportunity to show our worth, without being on a bed or taking up arms!" she finished, looking Alexa in the eyes as if defying her to contradict herself."We want to go back to our master! This isn't our fight if it isn't his, we only head Morgaine's call to pick up arms, because we were mis

Chapter: Chapter 44 - The PyreAlexa woke up the next day, with her eyes throbbing and red from the cry of the night before, but Edwin's words made a click inside of her, and all the sorrow and guilt she was feeling towards Andrew's death, she used them to fuel the rage and the beast inside of her, she stood from the bed, went to clean herself with a resolution in her mind, she chose the dark dress to symbolize the grief she was feeling, but behind the dress, she used her knitted fabric armor, and the weapons she always carried, in her head, she wore a simple crown of silver and sapphires. Edwin woke up and smiled when he saw her dressed and ready to take on the day."How are you feeling?" He asked."Do you want an honest answer or a polite one?" She retorted, with an arched brow, without stopping what she was doing."Only the honest, love, you know you don't need to hide anything from me!" He said, standing from the bed and walking towards her, and embraced her."I'm feeling r

Chapter: Chapter 43 ! HitThe thundering sound of hoofs on wood was the warning they needed, archers went to their positions on the wall, soldiers waited in line to take their place as soon as the riders went through, Truman was the first one to notice that something was wrong, one of the riders was laying on the horse and the animal was being pushed by another rider, as soon as the reached the inside of the gates, Alexa's commanding voice was heard louder than never in absolute silence, "Gwen, Sam, and Elia take Andrew inside the castle! Soldiers are ready to attack, archers find your mark and shoot as soon as they are in sight!"She didn't dismount as everyone else, she went to the other side of the castle, by the narrow streets in a gallop, "Flora, take your riders and flank that army, now!" She ordered the other woman and didn't wait to see a form of complying, she returned to the main gate, where it was possible to hear screams of vampires when they fell on the traps, when the boiling pitch was
