Ava's point of view It was quite early at dawn before the sun came up that Krys and I went to see Cassandra in her dungeon. I volunteered to go with her to try to see into Cassandra's memory. As soon as I stepped in, she lazily pulled her eyes open and her lucent crimson eyes fell on me. "I was expecting you. I knew you'd come to gloat," she sounded venomous, but her voice was still sharp. I thought by now she must have realized the serious trouble she was in, but it is obvious she hasn't. "I would love to, only you are not worth it Cassandra," I said, I really didn't have the time for whatever mind games she wanted to play. “Then why the hell did you come?” she shot angrily. “No need to get hostile Cassy, we just came by to have a chat among us girls.” Krys spoke, coming into view. Cassandra stared at both of us, her eyes stalking us carefully. “What do the two of you want?” Cassandra spat. “To have a talk.” Krys said through gritted teeth. The shackles she brought along
Ava's Point Of View "Zach!" I yelled in fear, at the fireballs scattered in the sky aiming for different parts in the pack. This was going to cause great destruction and deaths. There came the fireball heading towards us. I felt Zach pull me behind him.“Everyone, behind me!” He ordered his warriors and they followed suit, running to stand behind us.As the fireball approached, Zach's eyes began to glow his bright lycan color and before the fireball could crash into us, he created a golden shield, surrounding all of us.Protective shields. That was his unique lycan abilities. That is the reason why Kaden sent me to the North squad, because he wanted me to be protected.Zach stood his ground as more fireballs dropped with thundering roars at his force shield. He grunted as he struggled to keep us all protected. I look around at the dark blue sky, to the other regions where the fireballs hit and the fiery destruction visible from a mile away. One of the places hit by one of the firebal
Kaden's Point Of View My amber orbs gleamed a dangerous shade of red, my vision glowed red as well. I made full use of my Lycan side, plucking out the heads of Ymir's beastly army and witches that attacked. My sharp elongated nails dripped with their disgusting thick crimson blood. Ymir was using dark necromancy magic to bring these things to life. She was toying with us, trying to disgruntle us. She was buying herself time, I had to find her and put an end to all these madness.I pulled out the heart of an idiotic dead witch coming at me, my eyes flickered to Kole and Krys who were doing a really good job at reducing Ymir's beasts and witches.My claws were dripping wet. I glanced around as my army fought against Ymir's dark forces. It was already dead in the night, and the foul odor of blood and stench of death mixed with the midnight air.We've been fighting for quite some time but so far, there's been no sign of Ymir. I tried mindlinking Ava but it was not connecting. I was getti
Ava's Point Of View My eyes snapped open, and I gasped, my chest heaving roughly. The heated rays of the morning sun tickle my eyes to life. I woke up with a disturbing feeling, my entire body felt as though I just got stomped inside and out by a bloody elephant. Oh God it hurts!The world around me was vibrant, alive. Colors danced, and scents overwhelmed me. I felt… different.Everywhere sounded so noisy, it felt like my already super senses just got a lot super heightened. It was crazy, I could hear and see a bird humming a thousand miles away through my window, and that made my head hurt even more.The acidic taste of blood was fresh and was burning on my tongue, which made it extremely uncomfortable. All I could smell was Blood. Blood. BLOOD!I craved it.I tried to remember whatever had happened last night to make me feel this way but I just couldn't. The more I tried to think about it, the more my head hurt like a sour bitch.A strained moan escaped from my lips as I tried to
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
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 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 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 I turned for the doors instantly, and left the hall, walking into the cool refreshing midnight air. I moved into the woods, stripping naked and shifting into my wolf. I grabbed my dress with my sharp canines and darted into the woods, heading for Kaden and my secret place. I reached the magical scenery, there was a beautiful lake flowing peacefully and beautiful flowers in bloom all around. This was just the place I needed to get my mind off things.I shifted back to my human form, tossing my dress to the side of the lake. My lips stretched into a smile, loving the serenity of this special place and the quiet peace it gave. I moved closer to the lake, my eyes glazing over the tall shadow that stretched up like arrows into the sky.The fresh water looked like a beautiful puddle of blue ink, taking the reflection of the full moon hanging up in the sky. The starry night alone calmed my soul.I took a few tentative steps into the glorious luster of the water until it
Ava's Point Of View “What does it say Krys?” I ask Krys, with both my hands covering my face. I was nervous, beyond nervous –I was agitated.I don't think I have ever been more nerve wrecked like I was right now. Whatever the news Krys gives to me would determine a great change in my life forever. This was going to be an important moment in my existence.After my monthly visitor has yet to appear, I became worried that I might be pregnant.That was impossible right? I am a vampire, vampires can't give birth, but if it was possible for my mother maybe it was for me too. I mean think about it, my mother was a special breed of vampire, a Fecundi, with the special power to procreate, maybe I got some of her genes and let's not throw out the window that I am still a werewolf, which means I could defy nature and the vampire anatomy.I mean I haven't gotten any of the early symptoms of pregnancy but I would be lying if I said I didn't feel different these past few weeks. Krys was the only p
Ava's Point Of View “We have a lot to talk about Ava.” The Moon goddess, Selene said to me with a smile.“Wait, what do you mean in the Path between the afterlife?” I ask, confused about what she had meant by it.“The Path in between is a space that exists through time, between the living and the dead.” She explained.“So I am not dead?”“Of course Ava, it would take more than a Silver blade to the heart to end a hybrid like yourself. You can choose to awaken at this very moment or not, well that choice is completely up to you to make. You can decide to live or die.” She clarifies to me.“If the choice is mine then I choose to live, I'm not ready to say goodbye yet.” I stated.“Not so quick Ava, first you need to consider the catastrophe that weighs on the choice you make.” She replied.“Catastrophe?” How could there be any catastrophe with me being alive or dead?“Yes my dear. I will show you the outcomes that will happen with your choices.” She began to walk and I followed behind h
Ava's Point Of View A few minutes later, Kaden and I just lay on the bed waiting for the Hunter's Moon to pass. And it finally passed at midnight.The curse had been broken when we professed our love for one another in the deepest way possible. Our love was the key needed to break the curse and mating He was now free from death as well as the entire pack.I get up from the bed, quickly changing into a tank top and blue jeans. I heard the sounds of sirens going off, I had completely forgotten that we were in the middle of war.I still can't believe that we made love in the middle of a war. To me it sounded beautiful and romantic but in a very dark way.“Quick Kaden. Change so we can join the pack to fight.” I said to him, tossing his T-shirt to him.“Don’t worry Ava, I already gave everyone the order. To kill every single thing that breathes in this castle.” Kaden replies and my eyes widen at his words.The order was to kill everyone, and spare no one. I became worried about Pedro. H
Kole’s Point Of View I was in a hot pursuit with Hal Jordan, the last remaining Lycan Elder sired by our sister kathryna.Krys and I had made it our sole mission to exterminate every single last one of those Elders scum during this war. This was our golden opportunity to catch them all off guard and in one place. With this element of surprise we could put an end to all of our enemies in a single attack.This was going to be the end of the long battle with the Elders and us. Krys had informed me through our shared mindlink that she had eliminated the other Elders leaving remaining one. Hal.I was informed by Lorenzo of where he was spotted last. In fact that coward fled as soon as he learnt Kaden and his army had attacked. Right now, I was in a hot pursuit in the nearest woods.I pursued the fast Lycan right into a dead end, cornering and blocking all his exits so he couldn't escape me this time.“It's over Hal, surrender and I will grant you a quick death.” I said to him as he turned
Ava's Point Of View It's been a year since I've seen Kaden; he never came back for me; I stopped trying to escape after the Hunter's Moon passed. There was no reason to, the curse is unbreakable after the Hunter's Moon, Kaden is probably dead now along with the Midnight pack. I never got any news from Kole and Krys. They completely vanished without even seeking to find me.The worst part of it all is that Lucien and I mated!‘Ugh, would you please cut it out! That's not going to happen.’ I sigh at my wolf mentally.‘Understand that making up these crazy realities helps me to stay sane, alright.’ Lisa, my wolf, retorted, and I just sighed, indulging her crazy realities once more.Here we go again, it hasn't been one year at all, it has only been a day. My wolf was just making up scenarios because she's a bitch. ToThe peak of Hunter's Moon was only some hours away, so I could understand why my wolf was getting so anxious. Honestly, I was too. In some hours now, the Hunter's Moon woul
Kaden's Point Of View My growls vibrated through the earth's crust as I tore through another wolf from the elder pack, splitting him into two halves. I was covered from head to toe in blood, standing in a puddle of the blood of wolves working with Lucien and the Elders. I was going berserk without my mate, I needed to get her back or I swear I was going to fucking kill everyone breathing.I still haven't stopped thinking about her beautiful smile the night I took her to our secret garden. I would end the world just to see her smile like that again.It's been only two days since my mate was taken, but for me, it feels like an eternity being without my mate; every second without her felt like torture to my mind. Not knowing what that bastard was doing to her at this very moment kept me furibund. Saying I was going crazy was merely an understatement to describe what was happening to me. I was out of my darn mind without the little wolf. Ava's scent still lingered everywhere around me an
Ava's Point Of View I lay on the bed, not able to tell how long I was locked up in the room. It was driving me insane being locked up in here. I hated feeling like a prisoner. Oh, how I wish I was back at the pack before everything happened. I couldn't reach Kadenp through our mate bond; it was like it was gone as if there was nothing there. Something was interfering with it. Every time I reached out, all I could hear was an endless silence, but I could still feel him. I knew he was going crazy looking for me everywhere. I quickly jerk off from the bed as I hear the door knob suddenly twist. Someone was trying to come in. The doors silently push open, allowing in an unfamiliar face, holding a covered tray. "Whoa--" the stranger said, as he looked around the room with an open mouth. "This place looks nice." The stranger spoke, with an Italian accent. He placed the tray in a drawer as he carried on looking around. "And who the bloody hell are you?" I questioned, narrowing my pi
Ava's Point Of View "Kaden---" I moan a whisper, as I stirred in the bed. Beads of sweat trickled down my forehead, it was caused by the terrible dream I was having about me and Kaden being separated. It was a nightmare and once again I couldn't do anything but watch him die."No... Kaden..." I called again, feeling tears well around my eyes. A huge pain crushing me as I fight to escape the nightmare I was trapped in.I finally jolted up from the bed I laid, gasping in an ample amount of air. I paused, not able to move for a second, my eyes were stunned by the foreign environment surrounding me, I needed a minute to adjust to the environment I found myself in.'where the hell was I?' I ask myself. I couldn't remember how I got to this place that wasn't home.My hands clutch tightly to my head, as I feel a piercing ringing invade my mind. The pain came as I tried to recall what had happened before. I felt so weak, as if all my strength in me had been drained. I couldn't feel my wolf o
