*The exorcism*Ava's Point Of View llIt was just some few minutes before midnight, more specifically it was twenty-three minutes past eleven. We were running out of time, we needed to exorcise whatever dark magic was compelling Tasha, she clearly wasn't acting herself.Kole told me that this was likely the effect of one of the Elders powers. Elder Hal Jordan, he had the unique powers as a Lycan to conjure up darkness capable to compell and possess anyone. Kole told me that he was notable one of the strongest Elders, his powers of mind warping and manipulation was impeccable and could make someone believe whatever he wanted. He also mentioned that Hal was a literal asshole and he was sired by Kathryna.We had come up with a plan to exorcise Hal's dark magic from Tasha, and by we I meant kole, Lorenzo and I. Yes, of course Lorenzo was on board with the plan of saving his mate. He just found her and wouldn't let anything happen to her.Kole managed to move Tasha into one of the castle r
Ava's Point Of View"She can't be dead!" I paused, staring at Tasha who couldn't stop sobbing."There has to be some mistake, she has to be alive." I keep on ranting like a woman who has gone mad."Ava," Tasha called placing a hand on my shoulder, trying to get me back to my senses. Kole and Lorenzo decided to give ussome privacy, they waited outside the room while me and Tasha spoke."I watched that monster rip her in half right before me. There is no way she would have survived that." Tasha said regretful, in almost a hushed voice."Tell me everything. Exactly what happened?" I ask, tears streaming from my eyes.“After you ran away, Lucien knew that aunt Amelia must have helped you to escape. Lucien really went mad, he had Aunt Amelia locked up and tortured by that swine Yakmesh to tell them where you were..." I feel my heart break once more, she was tortured all because of me. She was hurt, in lots of pain before she died and it was all because of me."I tried to help her escape but
Ava's point of viewI waited just outside of the cave till everyone was gone and only Kaden was left.I turn around, my breath hitching in my throat. Kaden was just in front of me, his green eyes casting down on mine. I gulp a little at how intimidating it felt having him this clos up to me. I could feel Sparks light up around my body just having him close.“Let's talk inside the cave.” He tells me walking back into the cave, I quickly follow behind him.I was frozen in my spot, just thinking about how Kaden went against his own rules all for me. Usually it was law that anyone caught tresspassing into the midnight pack territory should be executed and their heads put on a spike just outside of the territory to warn wandering intruders, but this was the first time an intruders life would be spared. He chose to save Tasha's life all because of me."What is it that you are thinking about?" Kaden asks, with etched brows."Wait, you can't read my mind?" I ask him back, completely surprised.
Ava's Point Of ViewI woke up this morning in completely good spirits. I still couldn't believe what happened last night. It still felt unreal. Everything was going great, finally for the first time in my life. I had a place I belonged, Kaden and I were going great, and Tasha also found her mate and was accepted into the pack by everyone. Tonight would be her initiation ceremony. She was going to be part of the midnight pack.We were done with our usual pack training and right now I was in the middle of the woods running with Krys.I was in my wolf form, sprinting through woods just letting go and feeling the wind on my skin. Lisa was in a bubbling mood, we both were, we were in a race with Krys and we were winning. There was no sign of the Primordial hybrid and the finishing lap was just I view. I could almost taste victory.In a surprising twist, I see her giant brown wolf speed past me like a fucking bullet. I snarl my teeth, pushing myself to go faster.I arrive at the finish spot
Ava's Point Of View“I killed his mate and I don't regret it one bit.” Kaden gritted out with no remorse.“I killed Sheila, the only woman Sebastian would ever love to save his life, if I didn't make that decision Sebastian would be dead. I would never regret doing what I did even if he hates me now for it.” Kaden said, walking ahead of me.He killed Sebastian's mate to protect him from her. What happened? As if reading my thoughts, Kaden continued.“I caught Sheila attacking Sebastian, she was about to kill him and in order to save him I ripped out her heart right in front of him. Ever since then he hated me, he wouldn't even listen to anything I had to say. Ever since that day Sebastian and I became enemies, he has tried to kill me a number of times and failed. Now, he is planning to go after you to get revenge. I have no choice but to kill him now, he is going to die, if only the fool had let me explain to him what truly happened that day.” Kaden said, sounding both angry and hurt
Ava's point of viewI woke up the next morning with the sun shining in my face. The sound of blue birds singing to me, ushering me into a new day.A soft smile touched my face as my mind ran-over through all that happened last night. I couldn't control the ticking bomb of happiness threatening to go off at any moment within my chest. Yesterday night was the best that I ever had, it was magical. The way Kaden made me feel complete, I wasn't going to ever forget it.I stretched my hands to feel the warmth of my mate beside me, but the other side was cold. I scan around to notice that Kaden is gone. It was six in the morning, I guess he had urgent matters to attend to. But I really would have wanted his face to be the first I see when I woke up. I noticed a piece of paper by a desk closest to the bed. I stretch taking it in my hands.'I woke up early and you looked pretty sleeping, I decided not to wake you. I'll see you soon, love.’ the note read and I smiled. The sound of my grumbling
Ava's Point Of View"You should also know this, Sebastian is a fox. He is very sly and incredibly cunning, so pay attention carefully to the things he says when talking, he might say something but might have some different meaning, he always had a way with words. Don't trust him Ava, he is after all a former mountain god." Krys warns.I nodded, letting her every word sink in. I needed to know everything about him to he able to win against him.Getting to the east border takes half a hour. We arrive at a path, a clearing and I know that we were here."Okay Ava, from here on it's all up to you. I'm going to be watching you closely, in case there is any danger I will pull you out." She assures me. Hopefully we won't get to that.I nod, taking a deep breath to calm down my nerves."Okay. I got this." I tell her with a faded smile.I walk straight ahead into the clearing. I can see no one. There was no one here but still I had a strange feeling that I wasn't alone. Dangerous eyes were stal

Kaiser's Point Of View I had followed the Elder, Rowan, into the thick dark woods. I knew I had him cornered, and deep down, he was terrified of the things I could do to him.I hear the loud hooting of the birds of the night; the stillness of the night sends a chill creeping up my spine. Suddenly, a dark veil lit up in the night sky, but just above the forest I was in. This was Rowan's desperate trick to keep himself alive but even this couldn't keep him alive or safe from me.“Kaiser Delacourt.” I heard his voice sound from behind me. “You and I meet again.”I roll my eyes, turning back to meet his dark eyes. His blond hair grew longer since the last time I saw him. Back then when Kaden's devil of a twin turned him and the other Elders into lycans. Somehow, they believed we were on the same level, but they were nothing but power-hungry parasites.“Oh Rowan, you picked the wrong time in the world to pick a fight with me. I won't grant you an easy death.” I grinned, my extended claws
Ava's Point Of ViewMy eyes scanned hurriedly across the meadow where I was fighting alongside Kaiser in his huge lycan form and some of our warriors, against the Elders wolves and shadow army.I tried reaching Kaden through our mate bond but I couldn't connect to him. Something was blocking our connection and mind link. The battle was getting heated as more of the Elder's rogue wolves arrived to fight against us. Deep down, I knew if we should win this battle, we would need our magic restored.I couldn't begin to describe the relief that flooded my chest as blue eyes narrowed in on Kole.He joined me and Kaiser where we stood. He was covered in blood and his eyes were glowing bright red as he was sharing partial control with his lycan wolf.We kept on with the fight, and to my surprise, the black veil that had covered the entire pack was lifted, and the night sky came into view. A small smile found my lips, as this meant the witches now had access to their magic and so did Kaiser and
Krystabelle’s Point Of ViewI was forced to step out of the pack's castle and keep watch over the pack with Kaden gone. My conversation with Ava a few hours ago left me completely worried, especially about her dreams, and that worried me more. I knew that had to be an ominous message from mother, she sent it to Ava dreams and she was expecting us to avert whatever chaos was impending.I was even more uneasy with the sudden reappearance of my brother, Kaiser. That bastard was as conniving and treacherous as they got. I didn't just believe his excuse that he came just because he was in the area and he missed home, there had to be something much more that drove him here. I know my older brother so well and I am willing to bet that he was running away, or maybe hiding from something. Whatever it truly was, I knew it couldn't be good.Kole had ordered the pack to be at alert, so everyone was on their toes, and they had the right to be, the Hunter moon was in just four days. Anything could
Ava's Point Of View It was late at night, and my restlessness led me to the moon goddess's abandoned temple east of the pack. Kaden has been gone all day and this made me all the more uneasy. Was meeting with Nadia supposed to take this long? He should be back home, right? Did something untoward happen to him?‘Relax Ava, you are worrying for no reason again.’ I heard my wolf, Lisa, weigh in.Maybe she was right, and I was just overthinking the entire thing, but I couldn't shake off the bad feeling in the pit of my guts, telling me that chaos and death were inevitable.I guess that's why I found myself here at the moon goddess temple. I needed to find her Oracle, Mene. I met her a long time ago in this temple when I was locked here. I tried looking for her again, but she was gone; I needed to see her now. If there was anyone who could tell me how to escape the disaster ahead, it would be the moon goddess oracle.I walked around the temple for minutes with zero luck in finding Mene, b
Ava's Point Of View I walk into Kaden's office, to find a very intense stare off starring Kaden and a complete stranger. That was Kaiser, Kaden's half brother and if I reckon correctly the sixth Delacourt. Beside them, trying to stop them from ripping each other out with their eyes was Kole.“Hello brother.” Kaiser spoke with a cynical smile on his distinct features. He didn't look or share any resemblance with Kaden at all. He had light brown hair that framed perfectly around his head, and had a pair of electric blue eyes, with a well chiseled jawline. He looked a lot like a young Leonardo DiCaprio, before he grew old and fell off.He was tall, but not as tall as Kaden was, but talk enough to stand looking him in the eyes.“What the bloody hell are you doing in my pack, Kai?” Kaden gritted through his teeth, clearly not in the mood to waste any time.“Well that's no way to welcome back your little baby brother.” Kaiser chuckled, placing a finger on his lips. “When was the last time
Ava's Point Of View I heard a shrill cry erupt in the thick darkness that covered me. I couldn't see anything around, just pure and complete darkness covering and swallowing everything around.Again, I hear another sharp cry erupt in the darkness from above me. I couldn't see anything, all I could do now was depend on my senses to figure out what was going on around me.I closed my eyes, paying attention to my surroundings. Taking in every breath, every sound, every wind and the direction in which they moved.The shrill cry erupted again, this time causing my ears to bleed out.That's it! I knew what the sound was, it belonged to a vulture. That was the sound it makes just before it is ready to feast on the dead carcass of a fallen predator.But why? Why was this sound all I could hear? What did all this mean?“Ava–” I heard a familiar female voice call out to me. My ocean eyes fastened open and they drowned at the sight before them.It was Kaden. He had a golden dagger buried deep
Ava's Point Of View Kaden and I stepped into the abyss. Slowly the abyss that we knew morphed into a starry night. We were in the thick of woods. The glorious full moon was shaded by the clouds above, everything was quiet and still, not even the insects or the owls of the forest dared to rattle the stillness of the night.Suddenly we began to hear loud roars and feet stomping the ground in fury. First we made the face of the vampire woman, Nicolette, in her arms, she held a little baby. During my time in the nightmare realm, with everything going on, I didn't have enough time to look at the woman, but the more I looked at her I couldn't stop the sadness that gnawed at my heart aggressively. I crippled by a wave of sadness watching as she ran across the forest with the baby in her hand. Nicolette had beautiful short blond hair, and gleaming blue eyes that embodied the calm sea.I couldn't deny the striking resemblance she held to me. It was as if I was staring into an older and more e
Ava's Point Of ViewWe returned back to the pack at dusk, turns out Kaden had prepared more than two human criminals for me to feed on. With every blood I consumed I felt much stronger and powerful. I also grew strength in controlling my thirst for blood.There was a bonfire party tonight at the pack, to celebrate our victory against Ymir and her army. I asked Kaden what he did to Ymir's body, he told me he buried it in a lead coffin, somewhere deep in the ocean. She still had the blade of Agon in her heart so she couldn't wake up from her limbo of pain.While everyone at the pack was busy having fun at the bonfire, I was laying in my bed feeling restless. There were still a lot of questions I had, and so many answers I didn't have. What am I?It's crazy to think that I began to question my very own existence, but I couldn't explain my own existence. I couldn't be a born vampire because vampires couldn't procreate and I couldn't be a turned vampire because I wasn't human and it was im
Ava's Point Of View I quickly changed into more comfortable clothes. I was greeted with a smile by several pack members, they knew what I was but they weren't scared of me.I followed behind Kaden to the doors of the pack but I couldn't step out into the sun. The sun rays were extremely scorching on my skin. This had to be an effect of me being a vampire.“Here. Wear this.” Kaden says, giving me a ring with a strange onyx stone on it. I quickly obeyed wearing it. Kaden then gave me his hand which I took, stepping out into the sunlight. It didn't burn, I could stand the sun because of this ring.“It's a daylight ring. Krys made it for you.” Kaden explained. We reached his black BMW and we drove out of the pack's territory.We drove for hours, I didn't know where we were going, I wasn't really concerned actually, what I was really concerned about was learning more about vampires.“So you have met vampires before in the past, correct?” I asked Kaden, as he watched the road while giving
