KILLIAN'S POV "Alpha, I can provide you with some magic to boost your strength," I heard the priest's voice through the mind link. Together with Ciro, Ari, the elders, and some of my closest buddies, he was among those whom I let reach me through the mind link. "There's no need for that," I relayed back to him, "protecting the children comes first." The pups were locked in the underground sealed with the priest's magic. I didn't want anything comprising the safety of our pups. Even if we were defeated in the end, those children will be safe in that underground with the priest. And even if Sloane later employed the aid of witches to break that seal, it will require very powerful magic, and I trusted the priest to have many more wildcards up his sleeve. "I can do it," he persuaded me. But I warned him. "Stay back and watch the pups! It's an order." I'd never talked to him that way. I was still glued to the ground beneath Sloane's feet and he ranted still. "I know you, Killian, y
ERIKA'S POV The war was over, leaving its evidence buried in the ruins and the sad faces of those who lost their loved ones. But according to Killian, I had been able to reduce the number of losses by healing everyone who was still breathing. But I couldn't remember doing such. He said my wolf had awakened the previous night during the battle, but I couldn't sense the presence of any such thing. I felt normal. All the Deltas and omegas who remained helped to put some of the ruins together as well as bury our lost ones. But thank goodness, all our pups were safe. I found myself heading out to the temple of the moon goddess that afternoon. I couldn't tell how I was able to locate the temple which I had never been to before. When I got there, I stood staring at her huge statue. A nostalgic feeling roamed about inside of me. It felt like the temple was where I needed to be. Suddenly, I began hearing some ethereal noises, and it felt like my soul was about to lift off from my body, but
KILLIAN'S POV "Those five," I said to Ciro as we headed back to the pack. "They think they can betray me and then come back to beg for mercy. They're lucky I didn't even kill them off right there." "Even Diana had come last night, asking me to beg you for pardon," he told me. "Like hell, I'd do that! She walked in her father's path and now the result lies before her face. She has to accept what she has brought upon herself," I declared. "People could be foolish at times," Ciro remarked. "There are still some opposers within the pack who luckily for them, didn't join elder Jonas in his treachery," I pointed out. "A least, they must have changed now, seeing that your mate is truly powerful and worthy of Luna," Ciro said. I smiled. He seemed to be defending them probably because Sandra's father and elder sister were among those I was talking about. "Henceforth, I'll show no mercy to whoever opposes me," I declared. "And about the training, I told you about— can't you squeeze out
ERIKA'S POV The pack had been a different place for me for the past few weeks. Restoration of the building and damaged facilities had gradually begun. The pack was having a new face. But not only that, my relationship with the other wolves had taken a new turn as well. All the wolves who used to see me as a threat before now wanted to cling close to me. Even my colleagues at work had changed when I visited them. Though they still called me Erika, they seemed to have reverence for me now as someone worthy of being their Luna. "Miss Erika!" A bunch of kids came rushing at me. "My daddy says you were the hero during the previous war. Was it true?" One of them asked. I chuckled nervously. "I can't say," I returned to their curious ears. "It's rather the work of all of our brave warriors fighting together." The actual thing was that I couldn't remember if I had done any such thing as save anybody or fight during that battle. "You're so gorgeous. I'll like to be one of your closest se
KILLIAN'S POV There had been an explosion at one of the gas stations belonging to our pack in the human world. The companies were set up in such a way that they kept passing on from alpha to alpha. Each time an alpha's reign ended for some reason, the next alpha goes with our unique alpha seal to claim the company. All the staff knew was that the company owner had changed. Only the branch managers who were from our pack, but living in the human world knew what really happened behind the scenes. The damages were fatal, but no life was lost as the workers had been in a staff meeting when a damaged cable started giving off electric sparks. The government demanded that we paid for carelessness and compensate the affected neighbors. Coupled with the reconstruction going on in the pack, it was going to be a terrific week for me. No rest at all. Our park needed so many sources of income and that gas station was one of the biggest. We consumed thrice what normal humans consumed, so we didn
ERIKA'S POV "The fact that you make someone as strong as Trevor terrified, has me wondering what exactly is this wolf inside of you is," Killian said to me. "I didn't mean to," I complained. "I don't know what came over me, but I suddenly started enjoying the battle, and then gut mad at them when they couldn't keep up." "Your wolf was controlling you," He sighed. Then his eyes widened all of a sudden, "but, wait! You remember everything that happened, right? There's nothing you're forgetting?" "At the battlefield— yes. There's nothing I'm forgetting," I said to him. "Her wolf is scared of her getting hurt," Killian's wolf spoke. "I heard that," I said to him. "You heard what?" "Her wolf is scared of her getting hurt," I quoted Alek, mimicking his deep grumbling voice. Then back to my normal voice, "I heard it." "You heard Alek. Whoa. This is surprising," he said. "Matter of fact, I've been hearing you guys discussing at night for the past three or four days," I added. "I'm
KILLIAN'S POV The violent clank of their metal swords directed my ear to where they were training. I stopped for a second when I saw Erika charging at Ari with full force. There was no way in this world her sword skill could match Ari's at this point; not when she hadn't even trained up to a month. But her slash did pack some weight. I confessed when I saw Ari's feet shift back as she blocked Erika's attack. But it took Ari just two blows on Erika's stomach with the helm of her sword before Erika came falling to the earth, holding her belly. "I'm impressed," I began clapping for them. Erika glanced up at me as if in suspicion of my arrival. "What are you here for?" "Can I see you for a moment?" I asked Ari. Ari nodded and followed me to a corner. "Something has come up again. I need you to go to the human world to spy on someone for me. I'll give you the details at home," I said to her. I turned around immediately and Erika was behind me with her arms folded. "No!" I heard he
ERIKA'S POV Ari was gone the next morning. I started the day by preparing myself for a morning jog. I dressed up in a pink tracksuit and wore a pair of white sneakers to match. Wearing a black headphone that Killian had bought for me over my head, I covered it with the hood of my tracksuit and was ready to go jogging. The smell of stewed pork danced into my nose as I raced downstairs. I decided to take a sneak peek into the kitchen first. I found Lerah doing what she knew how to do best. The stew bubbled as the large chunks of meat stood in place cooking. "I wonder if I'll ever see someone else in his world who can cook better than you," I said from behind Lerah as I walked into the kitchen. "Oh, Erika!" She gasped at first. "Good morning." "Good morning, the best cook in the whole wide world," I said to her. Her cheeks reddened immediately. She couldn't hide it. "I see you're off for a morning exercise," she said, her eyes gazing at me from head to toe like I was being scann
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
