Emily POV"Young lady you better make up or you will miss the train to school",this was Aunty May calling.Today I had slept in just like any other day."Be down in five",I answered as I tossed away the tempting quilt and walked into the bathroom.I took a quick cold shower and put on my floral dress and tied my black shiny hair into a pony tail.Gosh I was looking nice I guess."How many times do I have to call you down everyday.Enily dear you need to start being punctual and responsible right now you did not spread your own bed",Aunty Laura said."I will prepare it when am back okay.Love you",I said as I ran out to catch the train to Seattle from Tacoma ,Washington .As far as i have remembered it has always been me and my two Aunties and the weird craving they always drew around the house.Little has been said about my mother and everytime I try to pry them open it seems like a forbidden topic for them.I know when they are ready we will have that conversation.I was lucky I arrived in
MAY POV"Laura am having bad dreams again.This time it's different",I said as I looked at my sister with worry written on my face."Tell me about it",Laura questioned."I saw her again.This time she is more powerful than the time we fought her years ago.Her only task is to kill Emily.Dear am worried ,how are we going to protect her",I raised my worries to her."I think we just need to tell her who she is.These carving and that bracelet cannot protect her for much longer.Its time we tell her who she is and what she is meant to be.Now is the time she learns about her abilities",she seriously said."She is only twenty and remember we promised Hailey that we will make Emily live a normal life away from that prophecy",I stated.Laura nodded her mind overcrowded with memories."Look here May,who knows how many armies Maledicta is creating.Remember Emily is the prophesied Destiny child who will bring the Mystical creatures world together and end her tyranny .Don't you want to reconnect with o
Hailey pov"Get down",Aunt May said.We got down and covered our eyes to stop the poisonous substance from entering our eyes."Police !Open up",a muscular commanding voice said outside our door and they were knocking on our door violently.For a moment the air seemed still and heavy .What is happening?What does the police want from us this time with all this brutality?I asked these unanswered questions in my head."Try to go down the basement everyone",Aunt May said.We crawled on our hinds and made our way to the steps but soon there was a violent sound as the door was kicked down by the men outside."Move faster",Aunt Laura said as she felt me slow down a little.Inside the basement the smoke from the tear has was little and it had a compartment which we had built as a panic room.We walked into the panic room and closed the heavy door to the compartment.As the door closed I heard hurried footsteps amd the door closed."Now what",I asked with alarm in my tone."We need to get out of h
Lucien Valois POV"Alpha I have picked a trace of witches scent on the northern border.What are your orders",Sabine my loyal and trusted Beta,knelt before me,her eyes cast downwards in respect.Her long blonde hair was pulled into a tight ponytail,revealing her sharp lines on her face and the piercing green eyes of hers."Gather the man we will go on a hunt for those witches",I said coldly.My history with witches started long before I was sired into a vampire.I lived as a human by that time when they took my children for rituals.That is the very time I met Lord Arctus when I was on my quest for revenge who sired me when I almost died from the witches torture."They have gathered alpha",Sabine called."Meet me their ",I said as I transformed into mist and slithered in the air towards the border.When I arrived I saw three figures flying in the moonlight.I transformed back into my form and stayed in the shadow.Just as they were passing by me ,I conjured a gust of wind and blasted them w
Lucien POV"Yes ,so does that mean my mate is the Destiny child?",I asked with a complicated expression.One thing I know about her was she was the deliver of worlds but being my mate is something else."I guess so but I will need to go down with you and verify for my self .If she is indeed the chooses and prophesied saviour",Tharros said looking for a book ."How can you actually prove that?",I asked ."Well I might need a Rose petal from the moon rose in your secret tower ,my friend",he dropped another bombshell at me."No,no,no.That rose is very powerful. Do you know what a single petal might do to me and my people if found in the wrong hands?No you better find another way ,I won't be releasing the petal",I said walking around the cave."Well there is another ,cutting her in several places.So you choose",he threatened and I growled at him my eyes turning from their usual bright red to ten levels darker."You better not lay a claw at her you hear me,Tharros",I said shaking vibrantly
Emily POV“Remember who you are. What is your name?” a figure kept asking from the shadows.“Emily. My name is Emily” I answered and the place I was standing shook violently.“no..no..no.That’s not who you are. Remember who you are!” the voice went bizarre thundering in a loud voice and then I woke up.“Emily wake up” Aunty May shook me out of my nightmares, “Tell me what was it this time” she added as he handed me a glass of water.“Aunty am scared every time this person keeps asking me to remember who I am. Whenever I say Emily it always gets angry” I narrated my whole encoutner and I watched as she remained silent.“Baby I don’t have much information on any of this but I heard that the Dragon King Tharros is here. You can go and ask him for the answers you seek” She patted the back of my palm as she told me this.I guess now was the time to meet him. I haven't had much time to discuss anything with any of the people ever since I learned that the cold vampire Lucien was my mate what
Lucien POV“Tharros, will she be okay?” I asked with anxiety evident in my voice.“Don't worry pal, she is fine. Her body is just exhausted from the power she holds. Until she can master her powers and her body grows accustomed to the power, she will feel weak every time she uses it. Her whole life the power has been domain so it takes time for the body to adjust accordingly to such great power but don’t worry she is fine” Tharros scholarly explained and it made me calm down a little then I realized another matter we needed to discuss and it was that werewolf claiming my mate as his.“One more thing. I can understand what you are plotting in that head of yours, and I have been thinking for a while. At times, one is indeed paired to two mates.”I cut him off before he could finish his statement.“Are you saying she would have to choose between the two of us?” I asked alarmed by his philosophical approach to this mate thing.“In that case, she will be choosing me. Get ready to lose old b
Lucien POV When I saw the arrow that missed Emily my heart stopped for a while and rage coursed through my veins. Who was after her life and what did they hope to achieve with her death? I opened a portal and sneaked on the attacker. I caught him when he was just about to escape and he happened to be a vampire but his strength was far inferior to mine. I dragged him back with me to the place and he committed suicide then.“It seems like this war involves not only witches but everyone, " Kiran said, and my mind was all focused on Emily’s safety.I went beside her and squatted down and caressed her cheek to see if she was not injured. Whoever wanted her dead must first go through me.“Tharros where is this temple?” I asked.“ Deep inside the woods on the Northern forest…” he answered but was not given the time to finish his sentence as the werewolf stopped him mid-sentence.“I know the Northen forest like the back of my pal but I have never across any building talk about a temple,” he
Priestess Azara“What do we do now?” Rhaegos, the old vampire, grumbled, his voice heavy with impatience.I didn’t even turn to look at him. “What do you mean, what do we do? We wait, obviously,” I said, moving toward my bookshelf. My fingers skimmed the aged spines until I pulled free a thick, dust-covered tome.I placed the ancient book on the wooden table and blew off the layer of dust. The musty scent of old pages and ink wafted into the air, oddly comforting. As I flipped it open, my fingertips brushed along the fragile paper until I found the section I needed.Rhaegos narrowed his eyes as he caught the title. “What are you doing with the Book of the Damned?”“What does it look like I’m doing?” I muttered, not looking up. “I’m seizing an opportunity.”“Opportunity? Does Maledicta know about this?” His questions came rapid-fire, his nerves clearly getting the better of him.“Of course she knows,” I replied sharply. “Do you really think I’d risk messing up her grand plan?” I continu
Lucien’s POV"There must be something we can do, Tharros!" I clenched my fists and paced before the Veil. "We must support Emily in some way; we must be by her side."Kiran said softly and anxiously, "She's absorbing energy from a soul inside the Veil." "We can't just stand here."Tharros's golden eyes flickered as he crossed his arms. "Neither of you is seeing the wider picture. The Veil is more than just an opening we can prod. Even attempting to open it or tampering with it could cause uncontrollable chaos. I apologize, but I don't believe we should take the chance. I felt a wave of frustration. I struck the invisible barrier that separated the Veil from us. It vibrated menacingly as it shuddered under the force.“Yeah, we get it—you’re the oldest and the wisest,” Kiran said, stepping forward, eyes blazing. “But don’t hesitate now, Tharros. Think of the lives we could save if we bring Emily back. Even if monsters spill out of the Veil, we’ll deal with them. But if we lose her agai
Kiran’s POVRhaegos and Azara fought a vicious battle, but as usual, their cursed soldiers were defeated and had vanished into the night. "Guys, what do we do now? Lucien? I inquired, becoming more confident in him every second. A change occurred between us, a mild release of the tension that had always existed. Things had started to change as they fought side by side.Lucien's words rested in the air, confusing me: "Rhaegos told me before he disappeared that when Emily returns, she won't be ours." It didn't make sense, but I knew enough about the magical world to know that this meant something significant. I looked at Tharros, who had an anxious look on his face.“It could mean a lot of things,” Tharros said, his voice tight with worry. “As I told you before, there are dark forces at play. If it’s what I think, we might be losing Emily.” He clenched his fists.“What are you thinking? Stop speaking in riddles, man,” I snapped, frustration rising in me.Tharros met my gaze, his eyes
Emily's POVMy whole body hurt. I struggled to raise my eyelids. Still, I attempted to pry them open, only to find that every single thing had changed once more.The second trial. My heart fell. Now what? The Harbinger showed up like a wraith out of the darkness before I could even collect my thoughts, his voice as steady and icy as ever. "Emily, this is the Trial of the Body." The ground beneath me suddenly transformed, and I could feel my bare feet sinking into muddy, cold soil. I raised my head. I could see figures approaching. Not strangers. No. They looked like all of the enemies I had ever came across. It was she, the Princess Azara, who led them.She came straight at me, sword raised, her eyes glowing with a cold, cruel fire. The blade gleamed in the dark as she swung at me. I managed to duck, but not before it sliced off a lock of my hair.She looked exactly like the Priestess from the Blood Moon cult—same aura, same fury. No, this wasn’t a coincidence. This trial want
Lucien’s POV“That’s bullshit! So what, we’re just supposed to sit here and do nothing? Let her go through all of that alone?” I snapped, my voice louder than intended. “Tharros, we have to go in there—we have to save her from the Veil.”“You must understand,” Tharros said calmly, “the Veil is a place of illusions and deceit. Even if we could enter, there’s no telling what awaits us inside. Most who venture in never return. We have to trust that Emily is strong enough to face whatever trials lie ahead.”His words, meant to soothe, only ignited my frustration further.“I’m with Lucien on this,” Kiran added firmly. “Emily is our friend—our mate. We can’t just stand by while she faces danger alone. If there’s even the slightest chance she’s in trouble, I’d rather walk into the unknown than sit here with a restless heart, wondering if she’s still alive.”I glanced at him, seeing Kiran in a new light. I wasn’t entirely comfortable with the idea of sharing a mate, but I couldn't deny that hi
Emily's POVThe longer I remain in this cursed land, the more I feel my sanity slipping. It’s as if the very air is laced with madness. But worse than the creeping dread is the question that haunts me: What if I fail the trials? What will become of me then?The last grain of sand dropped in the hourglass, and once more, the setting shifted.Now, I stood on soft pink fabric beneath my feet, delicate and oddly familiar. Beside me, as always, the Harbinger emerged from the shadows like a lurking specter."Congratulations, Emily. You passed your first trial," he said, his lips curling into a smirk. "But be warned—the further you go, the harder it gets. And remember—don’t trust anything you see. Memories lie." With that ominous chuckle, he vanished into the darkness.Another door appeared before me—tall, ancient, glowing with flickering strands of old magic. My hands trembled as I reached for it. Here goes nothing, I thought, grasping the cold handle and pushing it open.A gust of wind slam
Emily POVAs I gradually regained consciousness , a high-pitched sound echoed in my mind. The darkness was thick, inhumane, and absolute when my eyelids fluttered open. Where had I disappeared to?Where had I been taken? As I tried to adjust, I blinked and observed an insufficient glow flickering in the distance,the sole light source. My fingers scraped the rough stone as I crawled toward it, but before I could get there was a low, intimidating giggle resounding above me. The scene changed once again, and the air around me twisted.I muttered, "Please let me go," but no one replied. Nevertheless, I sensed them—eyes waiting, watching, lurking in the shadows. Then he showed up. The Harbringer. Once more.Cloaked in shadow, he floated out of the darkness like a ghost. I was unable to see his face. I was never able to. He was always covered in layers of cloth, as if he were hiding something too dreadful for me to see. Yet when did monsters start giving any thought about appearances? "
Emily POVI saw us standing in front of what looked like an old temple, with forms like ghosts and souls maneuvering unbothered by our arrival.“Thank you, Emily. If you had not reached out for me, I don’t know if I would have survived the nightmare.” Kiran came and hugged me, expressing his gratitude.“You are my mate after all and one of the main jobs or a mate is to look after your mate isnt it” I said and watched Lucien with a disturbed face.“Are you okay?” he coldly asked and came and looked for the wound on my hand but it had long healed on its own. One of my abilities I have recently discovered, when I get hurt I will quickly recover.“ Thank you,” he said and I think the nightmare made him remorseful again. I decided not to ask about the woman he was crying for.“Are you not going to ask me about what you saw?” his question threw me off balance.“Lucien being your mate means I trust you and care for you. I wouldn’t want to force you to talk about anything until you are ready
Emily POV“Continue if you dare…….Beware of the truth……Beware ….for the truth will break you..” the voice went on repeating this warning and the more we went deeper the more it became sounding.“What's wrong Emily?” Tharros asked after seeing the pained expression on my face.“Can you hear the warning and the distorted voices?” I asked and everyone shook their heads signaling that I was the one looking at different things.“Right, I have finally realized what's happening. Guys, we will face a series of tests and probably our worst nightmares, and we need to survive the nightmares for us to move forward to the next round. For now, just know that whatever you see or hear is just an illusion, no matter how realistic it might seem,” Tharros said. The moment he finished, a huge dark cloud formed, and we lost each other.I walked softly and came across a different version of myself fully engulfed by a lunar power and destroying everything in my path. I watched as the me then killed everyone
