ERIKA'S POVCassie was vibrant and full of energy. And it seemed she had inherited that trait from her mother, Amelia. It was a similarity between them, yet there was a big difference I was curious about. Cassie's hair was pure white, while Amelia's was matte black. So, how could they be mother and child?Cassie was showing me around the perimeter of the priestess' temple when I decided to ask her about it."Oh," she laughed. "I get that a lot. Character-wise I'm just like my mom. But when it comes to my physical appearance, I took the traits of my dad.""Where's he?" I asked.She bent her head low immediately, and I knew exactly that I had asked the wrong question."He died in battle," she said with a sad smile, "he was an elf. A handsome man who I still regret why I always complained about him not spending much time with me like mummy did.""Hey, don't say that, okay? I don't think he'll be happy hearing that you're living in regret," I said to her."You're not the first to tell me
KILLIAN'S POVTwo weeks had passed since Erika moved to the witches' coven. Every single day, my men had tirelessly trained, anticipating Sloane's attack. Some days, Sloane's men had drawn near our pack but ended up going back. But whatever their plot was, I was prepared for it. I knew every trick he had up his sleeves— or so I thought.It was the twenty-fourth night of waiting for Sloane's attack. My men had been on the tip of their toes, waiting for the slightest sign. The scouts had been on the lookout and relayed information as soon as they got it.Trevor and I were with the units mounted within the pack. Then, there was a special unit for civilian evacuation immediately the sound of war came.Ari had led the spying unit. They were very good at stealth and camouflage. The scout unit was just a division from them. They had made a camp from where they had clear eyes on Sloane's men at their various camps.Ari related information quickly to me as soon as she got it. We were in consta
ERIKA'S POVAmelia was still battling with the barrier that blocked her from going past where she was. The barrier as well had blocked the mirror orb from seeing what happened in the room where the priestess was. But from the look of things, she was battling them.The anger and frustration on Amelia's face was intimidating. Over and over again, she attacked the barrier with powerful spells but only got her magic bounced back.Just then, some werewolves made their way to where Amelia was, to battle her. With the anguish burning on her face, she turned around slowly and faced them."The priestess is very important to Mom," Cassie said, "mom had not been able to protect her own sister, so now she doesn't want to lose her own best friend as well."The next thing I saw was Amelia's hairs beginning to rise up. With a loud scream, she pulled off a necklace she had on her. Two bangles fell off her wrists immediately and the whole temple began to quake all of a sudden."What is happening?" I a
KILLIAN'S POVWake up!I tapped Erika."Wake up!"Quickly, she opened her eyes and gasped when she saw me."Killian? You're here?""We figured out Sloane's plans," I said to her.She sat up and looked around the room where we were."What about the witches? What about the battle?" She panicked."We won," I said to her, "Sloane has met his defeat.""Really?" "Yes," I said with a smile. "I'm glad we came before anything could happen to you.""What about Cassie?" She asked."Who's Cassie?""Sorry," she chuckled slightly, "she's a friend of mine.""Can you walk?" I asked her, standing up."I think so," she muttered as she attempted to stand on her feet.She was in a private ward in the witches' hospital. As we walked out, she saw other witches who were being treated."This battle was really fatal," she said."Wait till you see the heap of Sloane's men's corpses," I said to her.She looked at me and her lips cornered into a smile. "Thanks for saving us," she said to me."It's what I'm mea
ERIKA'S POVThe next morning, I had to say goodbye to the Canary Witches' coven. All the new friends I had made were so sad that I had to go early. Cassie made it the hardest for me to go. She had cried from the moment I told her that I was going up to when I left the gates.Amelia didn't want me to go, but she knew Killian cherished me so much. And when he promised her that I'd often visit and that they were welcome to visit anytime they felt like it, she was glad and it made it easier for her to let me go.Getting back to the pack, we were welcomed by another celebration organized by Ciro who has stayed back to protect the pack."From now on," Killian said to me, "we'll get to travel out a lot, together. We'll explore the best restaurants, hotels, tourist centers, and even museums. Both here and in the human world. Now, that I've finally defeated my sworn enemy, all we'll do from now on is have fun."It was like a dream come through. Those were my deepest desires. I wanted a love li
KILLIAN’S POVI woke up, yawning as I peered through the window watching as the rising dawn gradually enveloped the atmosphere. The morning haze shrouded the city in ethereal hues of white and pink.Beside me, Erika lay on the bed clutched to her pillow, seemingly fast asleep.I kissed her on the cheek and stood up. The hotel had a gym which I felt like visiting that morning. Erika was eating in the room when I returned from the gym. I glanced at the meal as I walked past, holding my appetite because I hadn't even brushed that morning.I went into the bathroom and hurried up with my shower. A few minutes later, I was on the bed, eating with her. She had been nibbling her food all that while to stall for time so that I could eat with her. I smiled, knowing what she did before joining her to eat.Erika always reviewed any food she ate. I used to dislike that behavior, but as time went on I got to figure out that it was her thing as a lady. So, I learned to tolerate it."The salad taste
ERIKA'S POV"I can't open the door, sir! I'm sorry, but I can't," the driver said to Killian."I'm not asking you if you can. I'm commanding you to do that right away," Killian said.I heard the screams of people running helter-skelter. Through the window, I could even see some peering into the lawns and nearby stores.There were a bunch of robbers outside. They had driven by in a huge black bus and jumped out carrying heavy arms."If you go out there, you'll get killed. I'm not letting that happen. Not when you're a passenger in my own vehicle," the driver was staunch with his decision."I booked this ride myself. Do you want me to break your bones before you do what I say?""Stay put, sir. I'll get everything under control," the driver persisted.Now, I started having a feeling that the driver was deliberately doing what he did. Could it be that he was an accomplice to the robber's shooting?But before we could know it, two armed robbers were by the rear windows from outside, using
KILLIAN'S POVTony was someone I had spent some time of my childhood with. I always told him stories about we werewolves and he was always enthralled by them, hoping to see me shift one day. But I was still years away from my first shift.It was just a year to my first shift when my role as the next alpha became clear to me. With Elder Jonas brawling about getting someone from his lineage into the leadership position, elder Paul and my father made me know that I had to become more serious with my training so I could continue after my father. Nobody wanted Elder Jonas to rule with his unpleasant character.My first shift happened when I was fifteen. And after then, I decided to face my life as a werewolf, distancing myself from the secret affiliation I had with the human world.I had plans of seeing Tony later on, but I get kept getting occupied with duty as time passed. With time, I left everything about him to be something of my past.I was supposed to be extremely excited to meet hi
ERIKA'S POV"This is the last baby, Luna Erika! Push!""Push!" "Push!"I swallowed hard and bit back tears as the nurses encouraged me to push out my last baby. I could feel my whole body getting numb already.Childbirth was really painful. I was still hurting from the expansion of my uterus during the first push. But there was still one more to go.However, the majority of my pain came from the things I sensed happening outside."Concentrate on pushing!" The doctor tapped me when he noticed my senses were detecting things happening outside.Soon, the head of the last baby had come out and the doctor was gently pulling him out."Yes! Almost there!" He shouted, "Keep going! Keep going!"A loud cry left my mouth and I squeezed every last ounce of strength in me and pushed out my last baby."Yay!" The doctor cried.The whole hospital became a parade of joy amidst the battle going on. I fell back on the pillow and listlessly watched everyone as they cheered and danced. I thought I'd hav
KILLIAN'S POVThe Sloane before my eyes was nothing like the Sloane I knew. Even my wolf, Alek, could sense it."This is a bad idea, Killian," my wolf growled.But that wasn't the point where I'd care about it being a bad idea or not. I'd sworn on my life that not a single pregnant lady would get harmed. It didn't matter if the rest of us would die."I'd advise you shift immediately because you won't be able to scratch me with your human form," Sloane said to me.I smirked nervously."Don't get cocky! Sloane!" I yelled, rushing at him in my human form.I leapt into the air and came at him with a heavy punch. But the moment I swung my punch, Sloane had vanished from where he stood.My eyes widened in shock."Killian, behind you!" Ciro shouted.I turned around in midair and Sloane was coming at me. Quickly, I ducked left and barely managed to dodge his punch. But he grazed my cheek before I could completely dodge."Focus on your battle, Ciro!" I roared at him, "I'll send this bastard ba
ERIKA'S POVThree months had passed after the battle with Aldres. The petition had been filed against the Congress and presented before every region of the supernatural world. Thus, the Congress became careful with their actions.The barrier had remained on since that day I set it up. It constantly drained my energy, but I barely got engaged in activities, so I didn't worry about it.Killian brought my food to the bed. He'd take me to the bathroom whenever I needed to use it. Whether I wanted to bathe or poop, he'd assist me.The doctor visited more frequently than usual. All the pregnant women were almost due. We had less than two weeks to give birth. But some of us had gone into labour already. More doctors were brought from But for the past three weeks, there had been news of constant killing and kidnapping in the supernatural world. Due to that, and added to the fact that my pregnancy was almost due, Killian stayed back in the pack more often than usual. He postponed every meetin
KILLIAN’S POV“Don’t tell me you’re so weak, Alpha Killian. What was all that hype from the Congress about you? Look whom they told me to be careful while fighting,” Aldres spat. I could barely see with my eyes as I lay on the warm floor after receiving countless blows from the vampire.“Stand up,” he said to me, “stand up and fight! I want to give you an honorable end!”I staggered up and spat blood out of my mouth. My spine had shifted when Aldres dropped me from the sky, but I was able to squeeze it back in form when he was punching me on the floor.I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes shut, concentrating blood on the nerves of my ears, making my hearing ten times sharper. I needed to last longer in this battle so as to buy the pack enough time to escape.With my sense super-heightened now, I suddenly sense Erika in the house. What was she doing there? But my panic eased a bit when I sensed Trevor’s presence there as well. Whatever they were doing there, they needed to be fa
ERIKA’S POVThe battle between Killian and the Vampire Lord had begun after Killian saved Edward from his head being blasted away by the vampire Lord. The vampire looked like he was still in shape like it had taken him nothing to beat Edward Blue and Black.In the first few seconds of their battle, they were evenly matched. Killian was even able to land two blows on the vampire lord.“Your moves aren’t as fast as they should. What’s wrong?” Killian asked him after landing the second blow.“Who’s going to go down first?” Lord Aldres said to him with a smile.Killian shook his head, “I overestimated you vampires.”With that, he launched himself at the vampire lord with full force and landed him with a kick. But Aldres was able to catch that kick with his arms.“Not quite heavy,” he smirked.Wing emerged from his back immediately and he flew into the air dragging Killian by the legs. Ascending to a very high altitude, he let go of Killian, and Killian came falling from the sky.Aldrs had
KILLIAN'S POVAfter making out with Erika, I slept soundly that night. But when I woke up the next morning, I had a whim that something was not right. The soldiers who had been on watch the previous night hadn't alerted me of any enemy presence. But inwardly, I kept feeling like the enemy had already come.I stood up from the bed and walked to the wardrobe, pulling out a black shirt and black trousers. I looked back at the bed, Erika was still fast asleep. Dressed up, I gently opened the room door and sneaked out of the room. My plan was to go to the outskirts of the pack and wait there for the Vampire Lord's arrival. If the battle commenced there, that'd give my pack enough time to make the escape preparations. However, when I stepped outside of the house, I sensed someone's pain come over and over again. It suddenly flashed through my mind that the pain I sensed was Edward's. It was then that I realized that the Vampire Lord had already arrived and Edward was doing the exact same
ERIKA'S POVThe next day was going to be the day that the Vampire Lord would come to battle Killian. The Elders knew nothing about this. Killian had found it difficult to rest throughout the day.In the evening, Killian went to the bar and kept drinking until I sent a servant to tell him that I needed his attention at home.He came back home, half drunk, his hair messy and his mouth reeking of liquor as he spoke."What are you doing, drinking when there's a battle to face tomorrow?" I asked him, "Is that what we should be doing by now?""Is it wrong to drink my last wine?" Killian countered my question with his own."Not actually. But you're overdoing it. What if the enemy shows up before then?" I asked worriedly."Aldres is a man of his words. He won't even come close to the perimeters of this area until tomorrow," Killian said, sounding so sure of someone whom h barely knew anything about."Please, there are better things we could do now," I beckoned on him."Like what? Pray to the
ERIKA'S POVThat night, Amiel visited me in my dream. She summoned me to the top of a rocky hill that had water running out from every rock on it. We sat on two rocks, discussing, while water rushed below our feet. The sound of the running water became somewhat of a distraction. Amiel waved her palm over the water and every drop froze where they were. Even the tiniest drops in the air froze and hung there."Wow," I gasped softly, "you're amazing.""Thank you," she said with a chivalrous smile."So, what happened with the mermaid queen?" I asked her.She giggled softly, "We no longer fought.""Ah... Why?""She submitted. We were two and she was all alone," Amiel said."I heard the mermaid queen is very powerful. I heard she controls the whole ocean," I said to Amiel."No. She's not that powerful. She doesn't even rule the whole ocean," Amiel said. "There are other beings in the water whom she is terrified of. And that's why she seeks more power.""Hmm... Really," I said. "So, would yo
KILLIAN'S POV I took to my feet immediately, rushing back to the house. I only knew little about pregnancy, but I had kept an accurate record of how long she had been pregnant. It was just six months. Was it normal for the baby in the womb to start moving? I couldn't tell for sure. But her voice seemed disturbed.When I got to the house, I barged into the room to see Erika's belly bulging up and down."What is this?" I gasped.It looked so outrageous like the baby was kicking her from inside. But what was more outrageous was that Erika wasn't feeling any pain from that."He's talking, but I can't hear him," Erika said to me. How did she know it was a "he"?"I think his Father will be the one to understand him," she said to me.Curiously, I walked closer to the bed and placed my ear on Erika's belly listening."Father, you're in danger!" A shriek flew into my ears.I shuddered back immediately, falling on the floor. That was when the kick suddenly quieted down."What happened?" Erika
