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 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 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
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 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
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
Kole's Point Of View I was standing across from Xanthros, the elemental lycan. He was arguably one of the strongest lycans that kathryna sired. His ability to manipulate the elements of nature was rare, and it was a skill he had learned how to utilize to the fullest, but still, I knew he was no match for me."You all should have maintained the roles we allowed you as Elders, Xanthros," I said, with my voice low.Xanthros sneered, his eyes flashing with elemental energy. "Kole, you and I both know we wouldn't miss this opportunity to take out Kaden. At first, we were content with knowing Kaden wasn't able to find the gifted one, but now he has; we can't just let him break free from his curse."Of course, they wouldn't just sit idly by and let Kaden successfully break his curse; even if it meant they would charge to their deaths, they were willing to take the risk. But I was willing to do whatever it took to keep my brother safe. Yes, I know Kaden has made a lot of terrible mistakes, b
Kaden's Point Of View I had just left my pack and was on my way to meet Nadia, the vampire who knew Ava's mother.It was very important I saw her, she had been on the run and living in hiding for years now. She knew something important about Ava's mother and it was also important to Ava. We agreed to meet somewhere on the outskirts of the city, away from unseen eyes watching her.There was something that kept me uneasy, it was grating at the back of my mind. Ava's ominous dream was sent by my mother. My mother wasn't one to make empty threats or warnings, so there was a very high chance that something terrible was coming our way. Although that wouldn't surprise me, something terrible is always coming our way, but this time the stakes were high. The lives of my entire pack were on the line, and any small overlooked detail would be the end of us.It was still baffling to me how Mother chose to send a warning to Ava about Mr when she was the very one who cursed me with this fate. Now, s
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
