Before I start happily dancing to discover more varieties of animals on this planet another growl boomed out, and this one is a lot nearer than before. Right, I forgot about that sound while researching this furball in my hands. If I had paid attention earlier so there is no way this little guy could make such a dangerous sound, it's mean…pr-
Before I discovered the right words to describe it, I caught the vision of it. Unconsciously my feet drawn a step back, my eyes widened must be resembling the size of lemons as my breath stuck in my lungs.
Holy crap! What is this!?
A monster?
This thing is horrible and quiet out of my mind. It has the body of a goat and an additional head which is a lion's except that sharp scary horns of its, and has a tail of a serpen
The bird throws us near the rusty village.What's more incredible was the beauty of the bird-like creature standing tall in front of my sight. Is this... harpy? I had heard about them once in a story book, the creatures half bird and half human. But she is too pretty for being a harpy, so what is this creature called?Her face is nothing less than an angel executed to earth with those ocean green eyes of her to her long golden locks which have a hint of blue green at the end other than that her whole body is of a golden blue bird."Stop staring, it's not lady-like you know." She giggles."You c-can talk?"Her brows frowned as she asked in a panic voice, "Don't tell me you are a human girl…"
I was about to sink deeper in confusion when the door of my room abruptly opened and a loud growl boomed in the background causing me to freeze to my place…. My mind goes completely blank as I witness the panic expressions showcasing on Rhy's face. She ran inside my room and closed the door behind her. I'm not understanding what is going on here anymore as the sound from downstairs is getting higher. Sounds of grunts and growls are getting closer second by second. Was I right about the burglars? Are there thieves who broke into the house? But what's not making sense is Rhy's behavior. The Ryn I knew was brave but here she was hugging me close to her shaking body. I'm not sure she is aware of it herself but her grip is hard and crushing me. Why in the world is she not calling the cops? Wait, is there any? I guess not at all.
Daniel P. O. V A deep sigh left me when I entered my bedroom door to find my angry mate sitting on the sofa, reading a magazine and completely ignoring me. Archie is not talking to me because of sudden changes in my plans which she is not happy about. I tried to make things better for us but nothing works, she is saying nothing at all to me. I had a romantic vacation planned for both of us. I guess it was never about to happen anyway as that feels so unreal to be true. Alex called on the night before we were about to leave and eventually we had to change our plans. Today I have to leave for the capital and leave Archi behind with my pack's protection. From what Alex told me he settled most things himself but we are talking about Darkland here, you never k
Amber P. O. V After saving the world from World War 3, I was rewarded with delicious cuisine which was made by Ryn's mother. She invited us to have dinner with her family, actually, she particularly invited me as she was afraid of Alex and trying to hide it pretty well. I didn't know the reason behind it, but something seems to be wrong here. These people are trying to mask their fear but not succeeding quite well, nor is Alex being in his usual nice self with them either. From what I came to know of Alex, he never behaves roughly to anyone for no reason. My inner genius is dying to figure out the cause even though I tried to ask many times but got nothing in return. It's itching my inner self as I'm dying to know the reason behind it. Guess I have to wait till
Ammy P. O. V Ryn's eyes are showing the different emotions dancing in it, it's not menacing, more like desperation or helplessness. She might not be aware that she is hurting me. Before I could say or do anything I was forcefully dragged out of her hold by a much stronger force. "How dare you hurt her! You sure have a death wish for yourself, you little prisoner!" A growl boomed in my eardrums. Prisoner?! What nonsense is he talking about? I know he isn't very fond of this species but this is too much! "What the hell are you talking about, Alex! You can't say rubbish about Ryn just like that." I shouted, freeing me from his grip which is challenging for me of course.
Lynn P. O. V Till now things are going as planned. If everything goes as we wanted, it's not far when I would be free of her debt. And don't have to be part of anyone's twisty games. With the chirping of birds, I woke up to embrace the new day and get ready to meet my father. I'm excited to see him in person. Yeah, I talked with him twice through calls since I arrived here. He didn't say much back then, nor did he approve of my relationship with Athen and our unborn baby completely. I'm aware of this fact but still, I have little hope left which says he will soon. I strolled to Athen's room to find it empty. It's not the first time after Jolly moves out, Athen hardly comes to sleep in his room, even drowning himself at work and hardly getting any rest. You can tell this from the dark circles under his eyes

He doesn't blame her even though they are both doing this to save the most important person to them…. their daughter. ***
Unknown P. O. V In the darkness of the night, not a ray of moonlight peeking inside the room. Which seems not less than a queen's suit must belong to an important person as the entire room screams of mighty power. Inside the room is a dark throne-like chair sitting right next to the big glass window which shows the view of the entire city beneath the window surface. Nothing more than a silhouette could be made of the person inside the room. It's hard to tell if it's male or female. Loud footsteps boomed in the background before the front door of the suite crack opened by the intruder. Light escapes inside the room showing a woman sitting on the chair, wearing a red fitting suit which gives her an aura of all high and mighty. She is holding a glass o
We were standing in front of the huge arc-shaped rock. This place is ancient as you can tell by the unknown language runes carved on it. This is known as the portal. I'm feeling blessed right now, not knowing from how long we waited for this dream to come true. Today it's finally happening. I nodded toward Ammy to start it. It's a ritual she has to perform, one last thing to do. She placed her hand on the rune engraved as the sign of hand and lit the torch which is well known as the soul key, in the black space of arc. Rays of light took the shape of a huge circle filling the gap between the arc. The sound of gasping filled the background as everyone in this cave looked at the gateway with wet eyes. I can't explain in words what my heart is going through right at this moment. I never felt this before, this is beyond what I can understand, something new found. I ordered the children and females of my clan to become the f
Ammy P. O. V All other voices stopped except the rhythm of water flowing from the fountain and the jingling of the key fighting with air surrounding it. And then it happens, it moves from the prescribed place and flies in my direction. I didn't let my control waiver just a little more and it will be mine. The key is about to reach the glass barrier when suddenly it's frozen in its place. How could it happen? Shit! I got the answer to my questions when I heard a horrible scream and turned to look towards the person from whom it's coming. It was coming from that female guard whose eyes are stuck at the soul key. if I am not wrong so she is controlling the soul key as I did seconds ago. She is using all her powe
The silence here is scary, however, I keep walking to the source of light. I was right, the thing illuminating the whole place is the soul key. It's flying in the air, over the white marble fountain of red water. An orange glow shooting out of it complimenting the bright sun. I slowly open my eyes and this time a visible glass wall from around the fountain and inside standing a woman wearing a red hood, smiling chilling in my way, it raises goosebumps over my skin in anticipation of what's about to come next… "Well, well look what we have here… what's a little human born doing here? Have you lost my dear human?" Her words sound honey-dipped however not in agreement with her sharp features. I let my eyes waver over the woman standing in front of me, taking over
Ammy P. O. V I flinched and pulled myself backward with each step this horrible creature took forward toward me. His dark eyes are getting darker with the anticipation of the hunt, scaring me even more. No matter how hard I tried to deny it, but that's it. I have nowhere to run now. Death is here to embrace me in its darkness, this is my final moment. I dare to let my eyes anticipate the fall I would have to take if I step an inch backward from the heights I am standing at. It's beyond my range if wouldn't for the beast blocking my way. I have just been looking for another way to reach the secret cave in the deep end of the mountain core. It happened in the blink of an eye. In the next second, I tightly shut
Alex P. O. V the sound of thumping is the main cause I forced open my eyes to stop this annoying voice. My head is bursting and with each second this voice magnified itself to the next level. It's fucking annoying. This headache! A loud groan came out of my mouth and I forced open my eyes to take a look at the surroundings I'm in. The rotten smell of iron and dirt entered my nostrils. I can easily recognize it anywhere. It's underground dungeon cell and clinging of the silver bound around my hands and feet are just enough to prove me right. I raised my head from the metal ground beneath me to evaluate my cell and locate 2 guards who were trying to hide themselves as they peeked through from the other sides of the bars. It's hard to not notice their trembling bodies and the way their hands clutch the sword. It ama
Ammy P. O. V What a weird coincidence it is. I'm standing in the same spot from where I started. The same spot from where I started my discovery was the answer to the questions I was looking for. This time I'm not going to be scared, I know the danger involved in it but the reward is worth it too. And I will be grateful if I help all the people here who consider themselves responsible for the crimes that they never had done. If you are thinking I have some epic idea so no you are wrong. I have no plans, no backups, nothing well prepared, but I have that one thing that can help you do whatever you want to do in your life and that is willpower. I'm willing to do this. No, it's no more for the answers I was looking for but it's more for the lives of so many people who showed kindness towards me even thou
Ammy P. O. V The sound of metal lock clicking made contact with my eardrums. In the darkness of a cold cell, even a pin drop noise magnifies to the next level. I snapped my neck in that direction and blinked many times to clear my view to lock at the person entering inside the cell. For my human sight, it's not easy to make out an image in the dark, all I can make out is the silhouette of a tall figure. But it's not enough to tell who this person is. "Who's there?" I asked in confusion when that person didn't utter a word and just stood there observing me from far away. Despite answering my question, loud footsteps moved in my way, making me scrunched back in my seat, in the back of the corner of the cell. Silver l
Ryn P. O. V I begged my father to listen to me, to give us a chance to explain but he didn't listen a single word and ordered his guards to lock me in my room. The relationship between my father and me was limited to our clan business. We are not like normal father-daughter. Even at home we only talked to each other when it related to the clan's work. I don't feel bad about it anymore, I already passed that point and made peace with myself. I was aware of what was going to happen. That's why I had already formed a counter plan to cope with it. If they are thinking I'm going to stay here to cry my eyes out or feel sorry so it's their fault. I jumped on my feet and grabbed my weapons out of the drawer to stuff it in my leather boats. Before I make my way to
Ammy P. O. V Things get messy, the crowd gets afraid to heat up as the minutes pass by. With Ryn out of the picture and a heated argument going on between two Alphas, the room's temperature is pretty much heated. We don't want to make things more complicated. But I don't know how to clear up this misunderstanding. It's hard to break the belief upon which these people have been living here for centuries. If I were in their shoes I would have the same mindset. I can't even imagine the burden each and every one carries here on their souls as Ryn. They all are tagged with the label of prisoner's for the actions which are not done by them. These people keep locked here far away from the normal life that other species of Darkland are enjoying, when these
