Chapter Eleven Bonding with the Twenty Virgins. Asher Tonight was the long-awaited ball, in which I would be expected to bond with all the chosens and select a mate, and I wasn't even the least bit thrilled. I had just finished speaking with the eighteenth female for tonight, and I doubted I was ever going to be able to stand the other females. They were all the same vain and shallow. They only cared about being queens and gaining power. None of them even cared about ruling the cavern or having the cavern interest at heart. "I'm also a beauty therapist." The female I was presently bonding with spoke as her eyes swept over me with lust and desire. I felt my stomach churn badly, like I would puke. She must be really stupid if she thought I would pick her, especially with the fifty pounds of makeup on her face. Gosh, I detested all these females; they were just way too desperate. "Next". I growled. Just one more female, and I will finally be done with speaking to all these
Chapter Twelve Not alone Elena Tears stung my eyes as I stood before the silvery mirror in my room, starring at my reflection. My beautiful black hair was messy and discolored. My bright gray eyes were dull, and my lips, which always held a charming smile, now held a permeant frown. I could barely recognize myself. "Elena!!!". The cruel voice of Genevieve resounded in my ears. Ever since we relocated to the Obsidian Pack, my life has been a complete misery. Not like my previous life was any better, but things only got worse with Genevieve in the picture, who made sure to always suffer and humiliate me at all costs. I couldn't keep living like this; I had to bide time and run away. I just hope it won't be too late. "Elena!!!". Her voice echoed loudly in my ears as I instantly staggered to the door and down to the living room. My stomach churned as I reached the dining room. I hadn't eaten since last night, and the chilling aroma of different delicacies wasn't helping at al
Chapter Thirteen A different kind of happiness Elena "How was today?". Gina murmured as she braided my hair. After Gina and I decided to become friends and look out for each other. We made a routine of always meeting in my room at the close of duty for every day. Gina and I normally discussed, and find out how each of our days went. "Today was actually much better than I thought. I didn't get bullied by anyone." I murmured as I smiled brightly. It just felt so good to have a friend, someone I could always talk to. "You don't seem okay." She commented, starring at me through the mirror. I contemplate telling her that Lydia is a demon, and at last I decided to open up. "Do you know that my pack Luna is a demon?". She instantly released her hold on my hair as she stumbled back. "Why would you ever say a thing like that, Elena? Don't you know if any other person hears this, you might be reported." She hissed, starring at me with wide eyes. "I'm serious. Lydia is a demo
Chapter Fourteen Mate Celine After the last ritual was performed and my pack Alpha announced Blake and me as mates, I felt happiness bubble up inside me; my life was finally perfect. For as long as I could remember, I've always had a strong quest for power, to rule and be listened to, and today all that could finally come true. Gosh, I couldn't wait to sit on that throne as Luna. "Come with me, Celine, let me formally introduce you to the Pack Beta." Noah, the Obsidian Pack Alpha, smiled brightly at me as he took my hand and led me towards another table. My wolf instantly became restless and started pacing back and forth. 'Myra, what's wrong?" I murmured, but she doesn't reply. This wasn't like Myra at all. "Lucas". Noah smiled as he did a weird handshake with a man in his late fifties. "Lucas meet Celine, the lady of the occasion and the future Luna of the Moon Crest Pack." He mumbled, as Lucas instantly took my hands in his and placed a kiss on my palms. "Nice to
Chapter Fifteen Something in the rain Elena "Come on, Elena, get up. Let's get to training." A voice sounded from beside me. I craned my neck to see it was Gina. Ever since I told Gina about my Warlock Beast. Gina and I decided that I would be undergoing secret training in the pack so that I would be able to learn how to control my beast. I stiffled a groan. "But I'm still tired.". "Don't make me force you out of that bed; now get up." She hissed, and I knew I had no option. In an instant, I rose to my feet as we ambled out of my room and descended the stairs leading to the back door. The moment we were out of the palace, I let out the breath I didn't even realize I was holding. "We will be going to the soothsayer house first, then the place where I will help you train." Gina murmured as I nodded. Without sparing a second, she led me through a corner and down to an isolated house. Gina pressed a knock on the door. Silence. Another knock. Even more deathly si
Chapter Sixteenth An Escape Asher Pain clutched my chest as I starred at the necklace of my little wolf on my neck. I haven't taken it off ever since that day. I really missed her so much, and I wished fate wasn't so cruel to us. I knew I wouldn't ever be able to forgive myself if I got married to Alora; it would be the same as betraying my little wolf. But then again, my loyalty to the pack depended solely on this. A low hiss rolled off my lips as I slammed a ceramic flower decoration across my room wall. They were just too many expectations on me, beginning from avenging Alex's death to proving my loyalty to the cavern. I just wished there was a way I could escape it all. Escape! My eyes instantly grew double its size. Wait. What if I actually escaped and ran away from the cavern? I've never thought of it before, and now seemed like the perfect timing, especially with my forced marriage to Alora happening tomorrow. Perhaps if I successfully escaped, it was only going to
Chapter Seventeen A wedding day Alora Today was my marriage ceremony with Asher, the love of my life, and I was so excited. I've been in love with Asher since the first day I laid eyes on him. I was just twelve years old back then, when my mother had gone to visit the Queen, and I was opportunitied to follow her. While we were in the palace, I laid eyes on Asher for the first time. I'd heard so much about him but never seen him still that day. The moment our gazes locked, I knew at once that Asher was the man for me, the one I will get married to and have all my children with, and today that dream was finally coming true. "You look so gorgeous, my darling." Lisa, the young witch who was responsible for styling my hair and doing my makeup, smiled brightly. I felt my heart melt as I starred at myself through the silver mirror in my room. I looked like a complete goddess. I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life. "Oh my gosh, Alora, you look so perfect. Asher wil
Chapter Eighteen Deadly Poison Alora "Where is my son Ethan?" Rebecca growled, pulling Ethan by his collars, as her knuckles turned white. "I swear, my queen. I don't know where....". Rebecca doesn't wait for him to finish before charging at him like a lunatic and slamming his body across the glass altar. "If you do not provide my son within the next twenty-four hours. I promise you will not live to see the dawn of a new day." She hissed before turning to the rest of the cavern. "The ceremony is over; go home, everyone." She yelled as she raced through the halls and ascended the stairs. I sat weakly on the ground, struggling to keep my tears at bay. I couldn't believe Ethan would ever do a thing like this to me, his very own sister, and Rebecca, why was she so infuriated? I mean, I was the one who was betrayed and ditched by my groom. No, something was definitely not adding up, and I was going to figure it out. Without sparing a second, I ascended the stairs and ambl
Chapter Hundred-TwentyfiveThe End.ElenaJust like a flash, 5.4.3.2.1, the Lycan king shifted into his Lycan beast as he lunged towards the demon king beast, slamming him to the ground. Lydia instantly released her grip on Rebecca, rushing to the demon king's aid, but before she could even strike an attack on the Lycan king, Ethan appeared out of nowhere, piercing his sharp fangs into her neck as it sank deep, causing her to cry and whimper.And without sparing a second, Alora instantly let go of Rebecca as she rushed to them, aiding me with the perfect opportunity to heal Rebecca of her poison as I drew level between us, my heart racing. In a second, I elongated my fangs, piercing them deep into one of my arms, before doing the same to Rebecca and mixing my blood in hers, but then nothing.I blinked, terrified. Wasn't this what Lena had instructed me to do? Could it be I got something wrong?And just then, Alora's chilling voice sounded a few inches away from me as she called out to
Chapter Hundred-Twentyfour The battle continues. ElenaBoom.I felt that familiar yet strange sensation stir inside me as happiness welled in my chest; my demonic beast was coming to life. Lydia seemed to notice the shift in energy as she rolled off me and raced away. My eyes don't trail her movements as a sudden chill grips me, followed by a piercing scream slipping off my lips.And soon, bones began to cover flesh as a wave of energy surged through me, and boom! I shifted into a hybrid of both my demonic beast and my white wolf, capturing everyone's attention as almost all bowed in reverence at the supremacy and power oozing out of me.In a blink I spotted Asher, lying helplessly on the ground, as the demon king towered above him, pressing him with all his weight such that he couldn't move. And that seemed to ignite anger inside my hybrid form as it took a leap towards them with one sole purpose in mind: to kill the demon king.I kept slamming everything in my way until I finally
Chapter Hundred-TwentythreeLet the battle begin ElenaI tear the paper to pieces, as I descended the stairs to the living room, but then Asher was no where to be seen. As if reading my thoughts Zayn ambled towards me."He went to the training ground with Ethan. Word just got out of how the demons had suddenly appeared in the werewolves pack and we're killing them ruthlessly, he thought it wise they trained harder to avoid such horrible circumstance".I stumbled backwards, as tears rolled off my eyes. I needed to put an end to this, and save werewolves, I knew they had hurt me, but my duty as the chosen one involved saving all creatures, that's why the Moon goddess had kept me till now. I couldn't go to the werewolves pack, while still protecting the warlocks, but the demons could always come to us at a fix place, so we ended this once and fall all.In a blink, I sent a mindlink across to Asher telling him to come to the living room."You seem stress Elena". Zayn murmured."The demon
Chapter Hundred-TwentytwoToo close for comfort.Elena.A sudden chill gripped me, and my hands instantly grew clammy as I led Asher into my room, slamming the door shut."Why would they even kidnap her?". He mumbled, no longer holding the tears in."Little Wolf, are you okay? Your body is heating.". He grumbled, panic evident in his voice as he scooted closer to me on the bed, wrapping a hand around my waist."I don't know, Asher, I think I need water." I snapped as he rushed quickly to the toilet tap and fetched a glass of water for me, rushing towards me as he poured the water in my mouth. In one gulp I drank it."Are you okay, little wolf?". He asked again, as I shook my head, goosebumps crawled up my skin. This was the exact feeling I felt before Rebecca was kidnapped. Something terrible was about to befall us all if we didn't act quickly, and I could feel it."Little Wolf.". He mumbled, holding my face in his hands this time."I'm worried, baby; I'm so worried. We shouldn't
Chapter Hundred-Twentyone Time is ticking Asher"Kiara just mindlinked me. The demon's invaded the cavern and they took Rebecca with them". He murmured, as I shook my head, instantly turning my gaze to my little wolf."We need to return back to the Cavern immediately"."Is everything okay". Zayn, my supposed father murmured, as I shook my head, struggling to keep my tears at bay, I couldn't afford anything happening to my beloved mother."The Queen just got kidnapped by demons". Ethan answered, as Zayn face clenched."I will be returning with you to your Cavern". He stated curtly, and without a word I strode out of his office my hands intwined with my little wolf. She gives me a light pat on my back.'Everything will be okay baby I promise'. She mumbled through our mindlink, as I smiled at her.In a blink we all entered into my Mercedes as I drove to the Cavern in so much speed, I removed the key from the ignition as the vehicle came to a halt in the castle surrounding. I instantly
Chapter Hundred-TwentyA step behindElenaHe slowly inhaled a sharp breath as he placed a knock on the door. The Lycan king's response was immediate; "Come in.". He growled, his voice laced with so much power and authority I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand. Asher swallowed an instant bile not from fear, but the sadness and nervousness that came from seeing his father again; I slowly pushed closer to him as I entwined our hands, pulling the doorknob open with my other hand.In a blink, Asher and I entered inside the Lycan king's office with Ethan trailing behind us."Have a seat.". The Lycan king mumbled, with a stern expression on his face, as Asher's features darkened."I'm better off standing.". He hissed."It wasn't a request but an order; have a seat, boy.". He growled, as Asher's nose flared and his knuckles turned white. I placed a hand slightly on his waist.'Breathe, baby, breathe.'. I grumbled through our mindlink as Asher inhaled steady breaths.'Now let
Chapter Hundred-NineteenDad or Lycan king?Elena"Please, baby... Stop.". I whimpered as he slowly pulled his lips away from mine, and I struggled to catch my breath."I'm not yet done with you, little wolf. We will continue again once we are back". He rasped, as I felt his raised to my cheeks, continue could mean anything; probably kissing or even making love. I blushed harder at the thought."I wish I could read your mind too, so I would know what's always on your mind that makes you blush all the time.".I let out a small chuckle. "Oh please, my mind isn't as dirty as yours; now let's get going.".In a blink, Asher led me through the door, our hands entwined as we descended the stairs."And where are the two lovebirds going to?". Ethan rasped as a bright smile curled on the corners of his lips, although his thoughts weren't so bright. 'If only I hadn't let Gina go, then this would have been us.'. I flashed him a reassuring smile, and as my mind reeled towards Gina, I hoped she
Chapter Hundred-EighteenBig Apple ElenaI slowly became aware of a splitting pain in my temples as a hard surface leaned further into me. Slowly, I shifted my head, but instantly regretted it as the pain seemed to further increase. In a blink, my eyes fluttered open as they came to rest on an unfamiliar curtain.Suddenly memories came flickering in. Asher and I had done it; we had successfully completed our mating process. I couldn't smile the smile that crept up my face at the realization that we could truly say we were mates and my full potentials were now in me, only waiting to be unleashed.Inhaling a deep breath, I craned my neck to face Asher, who was sprawled naked beside me, and the sight of him instantly made me wet again as desire surged through me. A replay of last night began to resurface in my head, as a blush crept up my cheeks."So you also stare at me in my sleep.". He stated suddenly as his eyes fluttered open. I quickly looked away; I couldn't believe he caught
Chapter Hundred-SeventeenThe Demon King SeedAsher"Baby, what's going on?". I shuddered as sweats broke all over me, and I was forced to crane my neck in submission; I couldn't even dare to look into her eyes for more than a second. She was taller, bigger, more intimidating, had horns on either side of her head, an eye that blazed fire, and sharp fangs that could easily slice. Her entire skin was equally covered in black and red fangs.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her shadow amble closer to me as I shuddered; she gently placed her hands on my shoulder, causing adrenaline to surge through me as I looked up; her eyes were wet with tears as she instantly sent a mindlink.'And still the same person, Asher, don't you recognize me? Why are you suddenly acting so scared?'. I felt my heart break at the sad tone of her voice; I had made a promise never to hurt her again.'I'm so sorry, love, it's just that this whole thing was so unexpected. I didn't know you were equally a hybrid of
