Nobela ni Dammie Lar

“Damien?” Emma gasped in shock. “How did you get here?” she whisper-yelled. Her eyes turned wide with excitement and fear as she tried to move closer to Damien but one look from Tyler had her halting in her tracks.Damien didn’t share the same feeling of shock with Emma as his features remained stoic. Tyler watched him warily unable to determine if this werewolf was a threat to them or not.“I’ll explain everything, I promise” Damien revealed. “But first we have to get you out of here. Guards” Tyler called out. “Release them” he ordered just as two guards rushed in and did as instructed.Emma felt a rush of relief at being freed but Tyler still looked guarded. Damien must have ignored his expression because he was smiling the next second as he waved his hand in the air.“Come, you must follow me for we have a lot to discuss” Emma and Tyler exchanged looks before slowly trailing after Damien. The moment they stepped into the bright light Emma closed her eyes briefly.When she was fit t

Emma sat on the hard, frozen ground. Her arms wrapped around her knees, and her trembling fingers held them with a desperate fervor. Her eyes were red and puffed from all the hours of weeping watered in the darkness. The dungeon's oppressive silence was choking her like an unwanted blanket."Why are you crying again?" Tyler asked from across the room.His voice was casual, as if they weren’t locked in a dark cell beneath the earth. He was leaning against the wall, his legs stretched out in front of him.Emma exhaled slowly, using the back of her hand to wipe her nose. "Because we're in a dungeon, Tyler. We're trapped and this isn't funny. “Remind me again what it is?" Tyler asked, arching an eyebrow at her.Emma became red instantly and she glared at him so hard that Tyler burst out laughing. “This is awful, Tyler. This is very awful."Tyler let out a soft laugh this time around. "I know it is awful but It's not that bad. I've seen worse and this is still manageable."Emma glared at

Emma looked at Tyler. This was the second time he would be saying this to her but now he had mentioned, she didn't want to let go of it. Her eyes were serious now as she stepped closer to him."You said it again," she said."Said what?" Tyler answered. His voice was low and he made it obvious he knew what she was saying by not glancing at her.."Don't pretend as if you did not hear me," Emma said, giving him this look on her face. “You said it's your job to protect me. Do you know it is the second time you are saying this to me? Why do you keep saying that? Is there something I don't know?"Tyler rubbed the back of his neck nervously and turned away from her."It's nothing," he said. "Don't mind the words. It is just a normal word I think you understand."Emma shook her head. "I can't drop it. I want to know what you mean. It is not normal and I don't understand what it means. That is why I am asking you." She practically drawled the last words whilst glaring at him "It's not importa

Cinder? Tyler stood rigid as his muscles tensed visibly. ‘Why would Emma suddenly want to know about that now?’ He watched her curiously from beneath his lashes as different thoughts went through his head.“Did you hear what I just said?” Emma huffed impatiently. “Why are you so silent all of a sudden? Do you know what Cinder is? Why did those Faes call me Cinder?” she mumbled to herself.“It's nothing you should be concerned about. Let's go” Tyler said gruffly but Emma was as curious as ever and wouldn't take no for an answer.Her eyes flared with determination as she made her way in front of Tyler, blocking his path.“That means you do know something about this Cinder that you're not telling me. Just tell me already” she said as she let out a breath of exasperation.Tyler, sensing that Emma wasn't going to let the matter slide, released a heavy sigh and crossed his arms over his chest.He stared at her seriously. “Trust me, you don't want to know what Cinder is,” he assured. “But w

Emma woke up with a start as she glanced around quickly, scanning the environment for any threats. Seeing there was none, she inched closer to Tyler, her eyes filled with concentration as she checked on his wound.Blood had stopped rushing out and she heaved a sigh of relief. He had given her quite a fright last night after getting stabbed by one of their attackers.In her panic, she had smashed a stone over one of them but Tyler had already fallen unconscious. She glanced at the wound again. She had torn a piece of her cloth and used Tyler's shirt to cover the wound while she used her cloth to secure the cloth firmly to the wound.It wasn't the best first aid method but it'll have to do for now. She could only pray to the moon goddess to make Tyler regain consciousness soon so they could leave the forest.Though it was bright as day already and the morning sun seeping through the trees made it look less intimidating but the event of last night was still fresh in her mind and she sh

Emma was still contemplating what they meant by she was a cinder when they lounged at her. She screamed.“Please stop! Don’t hurt me!” she shouted again and again.But the figures didn’t stop. They laughed louder. One grabbed her arm and another pushed her to the ground.“Let go of me!” she cried. “Please, I didn’t do anything to you guys! Just let me go my way in peace!”One of them raised his hand and another pulled her hair.“She’s just a weak girl,” one said. "See, she can't even fight us,"“She smells strange. Maybe her blood tastes better,” another laughed.Emma shook her head. “No! Please! Please stop! Don’t hurt me! Please don't hurt me!” she tried bailing herself from whatever it is they think she was but it was all to no availThey didn’t care or listen to her pleas.They moved closer and they showed their teeth. Their eyes glowed.She closed her eyes, finally accepting fate. She covered her face with her hands and murmured her last prayerThen they came footsteps. It was v

Asher povIt was raining. I was standing in front of the window, at the window, looking outside, as my heart shuddered to every boom of the rainstorms. I was standing with the twins. I was looking away from outside, at something, to looking at them, and their eyes were distorted in fear. They were afraid of the rain. I breathed as I moved towards them."Hello, children, don't fear. I am here with you," I whispered, stooping down to their level."We want our mummy," responded one of the twins, his voice shaking and pathetic."Don't fear, you will meet your mummy soon, and we will stay together," I said, trying to smile."We don't know you, sir. We want our mummy!" both of them shrieked at the same time."Shut up you two, okay? You're driving me crazy here," I shouted back, banging my head. But shouting didn't appear to be doing any good, for they persisted, but louder. Their din, combined with the anger of the thunderstorm, was tightening the whole atmosphere in the room.Suddenly, and

Aurora povMy guard, who was sitting beside me, seemed to sense my unease. He placed a reassuring hand on my arm. "We'll find them, Aurora," he said, his voice low and steady.I nodded, taking a deep breath. I had to stay focused. For the twins' sake, I had to stay strong.Before long, the plane began its descent into the alpha's city. I felt a flutter in my chest as I gazed out the window at the unfamiliar landscape below.As we touched down on the runway, I felt a sense of determination wash over me. I was one step closer to finding my twins. And I wouldn't rest until they were safely back in my arms.The flight was smooth, and I spent the time going over everything that had happened so far, trying to piece together the puzzle.I could feel a sense of anticipation building up inside me. What would the alpha tell me? Would he have any news about my twins?We were greeted by one of the alpha's guards, who escorted us to the alpha's mansion. As we arrived, the alpha himself came out to

Aurora povAll my efforts to threaten Asher, to see if he was the one who kidnapped my twins, had been in vain. My patience was fading away, and I needed to find a way to get them back. With each passing day without my twins, my frustration grew.As I dwelled in my misery, my phone rang. I was surprised to hear the voice on the other end. "Hello, Aurora. It's been a while," he said, his voice loud and clear."Yes, it has," my guard replied, coughing after speaking. "Aurora, I heard what happened to you. I know it's been hard for you these past few days," the alpha said, his voice low and sympathetic."Thank you," my guard said, reading the words I wrote on my notepad. "I'm sorry I didn't inform you. I had a lot on my mind.""I understand," the alpha replied. "Who would blame you? I was paid a visit by Alpha Asher. He was the one who told me about the kidnapping of your twins. That was the main reason he came here.""Asher was in your city?" my guard asked, sounding surprised. "And he

Asher povI decided to close the paper, not wanting to know what was on it. I stormed out of the house, driving out as if I was like a thief. We went straight to where I hide my twins, and with every turn I made, I looked at my rearview mirror on my car to check if I was being followed.As I drove, my heart was racing with anticipation and fear. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched, and the thought of being followed sent a chill down my spine. I glanced at my rearview mirror again, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. Still, I couldn't relax, my senses on high alert as I navigated the winding roads. Finally, I arrived at the safe house, a nondescript building nestled in a secluded area. I breathed a sigh of relief as I pulled into the driveway, feeling a sense of security wash over me.I turned off the engine and sat for a moment, collecting my thoughts. I had been hiding my twins here for days now, and it was starting to feel like a permanent solution. But I knew it

Asher povI spent the rest of the day with Sofia, trying to reassure her that everything would be okay. But the guilt was eating away at me, making it harder and harder to keep up the act.As the sun began to set, I knew I had to get out of there before I cracked under the pressure. I made an excuse about needing to check on some pack business, and Sofia nodded understandingly."I'll be fine," she said. "I'm just going to rest for a bit."I nodded and smiled, feeling like a traitor. As I left the guard's quarters, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was walking further and further down a path from which I might never return.I made my way back to my own quarters, my mind racing with thoughts of Sofia, the baby, and Aurora. I knew I had to come up with a plan to deal with Aurora once and for all, but I was running out of time.As I entered my quarters, I was greeted by the sound of my phone buzzing. I picked it up, hoping for a distraction from my thoughts. But my heart sank as I saw t

Asher povThis was all coming down on me like a hammer, and I didn't know how to handle it. I had to be patient until Sofia gave birth, and also avoid Aurora. I would try my best not to meet her.I took a deep breath and tried to clear my head. I had to think clearly and come up with a plan. I couldn't let Aurora get to me, and I couldn't let Sofia's pregnancy complicate things further.I decided to focus on one thing at a time. First, I had to make sure Sofia was safe and healthy until she gave birth. Then, I could deal with Aurora and figure out what to do about the twins.I felt a sense of determination wash over me. I was going to get through this, no matter what it took. I was going to protect Sofia, the twins, and myself, no matter what dangers lay ahead.With newfound resolve, I headed back to my car, ready to face whatever challenges came my way.As I drove away, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched. I glanced in the rearview mirror, but saw nothing out of the
