Asher's Point Of ViewHaving to leave her once again was killing me on the inside. I didn't want to be even a second away from her. Not now, of all times, when I just got her back.For the sake of everyone within those doors, this better be worth my time.I heard Ryker growl within the corner walls of my mind, but Azalea strangely kept quiet.I sauntered into the court, expecting to walk into one of the Conclave meetings. But instead, I found only Daemon seated in the Courtroom, going through a pile of files. My eyes narrowed on Daemon at the head of the table, and his obsidian eyes lifted to me. They seemed troubled and worried. This was serious.I walked closer to one of the empty seats at the table.“You wanted me here,” I said, settling on the seat, my voice breaking through the silence.Daemon cleared his throat, his eyes swiftly sweeping through papers in his hands as he dropped them back into the file.“And I'm glad you came. I know you'd prefer to be next to your mate instead
Cirilla's Point Of View There was no way I could stop moving restlessly within the walls of my room. It was a few hours past midnight and I was going crazy with countless thoughts running in my head.I couldn't stay still, nor did I have the capacity to sleep tonight. I needed to think. To clear my head and mind but even that was becoming impossible. I missed Nina now more than ever.Drawing closer to the large bed at the center of the room, I fell on the edge, burying my face in my palms, and once more the thought of Ria flooded my mind. She didn't deserve to die at the hands of someone like Mason. And now that Mason had his powers, everything would only get worse.I was up from the bed, feeling the hotness of the air in my lungs, suffocating me. I needed fresh air. I left the room in a haste, the passageway to the main stairs was completely quiet and empty. I was going down the second floor when I noticed the light coming from one of the large rooms at the distant end. I realized
Cirilla's Point Of ViewIt was another cool evening, of another day. I was out tonight with Theo and a few friends I had made in the pack. We were somewhere within our territory. Frankly, I haven't been to this part yet, and I thought I had explored a few interesting areas of the pack. But not this one.After the usual evening training at the end of the day for the Elite warriors, which by the way, I signed up to join, and passed several tests of physical, emotional, and mental, earning a spot on the team. They were quite different in everything from the pack's army including their formation and style of fighting.They were a group of skilled warriors formed by the inner court of wolves to carry out special missions for the werewolf circle. The whole team consisted of 15 warriors from different supernatural origins which was led by my very own brother. Their job was to investigate, gather information, and kill those criminals the inner court had sentenced to death. And not to exagger
Asher’s Point Of ViewHer tongue sought dominance over my mouth and I readily gave in to her.With one pull, I lifted her off the ground, her body fitting instantly like a second skin as her legs wrapped around my waist naturally and her hands buried deep in my hair, kissing me back with as much intensity.Fuck! I missed her. Every second without her next to me was like torture. The constant sound of her voice through our calls was the only thing that kept me sane.A growl resonated from Ryker as our kiss deepened and we could finally feel the presence of her wolf.Her hands were in my hair pulling me deeper into our kiss and as each second passed by, I was burning with a pure, unholy passion for her.I could feel the softness of her goddess-like body through the material of her top, leather jacket, and ripped jeans.At fast speed, I had her back against one of the trees in the forest as her moans became more erotic, and the need to take her right now and here in the woods overwhelmed
Asher's Point Of ViewI woke up to the sun hitting my face through the window with tingles and currents dancing across my chest as Cirilla nestled into my body in her sleep, her silken blonde hair sprayed over my chest. I sighed in contentment, a slow smile displayed as I thought about last night. It was the best night of my life. I couldn't possibly begin to describe the ecstasy that drowned me while claiming her. It was the best feeling ever.She was the epitome of beauty. I couldn't help but admire the way the golden rays of the sun wandered appreciatively over her body as I ran the pad of my fingers on her smooth and delicate skin, watching her stir again in my arms. She looked so angelic in the sunlight and I leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Princess, it's morning,” I murmured, placing a kiss on her cheek softly and she groaned, pulling the sheets up to cover her face. “Wake up baby,” My hand went up to the ruby necklace on her neck. My fingers slowly trailed the small moon
Cameron's Point Of View I clenched my jaw tight as a sharp scream tore from Cirilla's lips from whatever Zeriyah was doing to her and Asher's growl instantly followed, his wolf a second of unleashing but I caught his eyes and shook my head, and his face only eased when Cirilla visibly relaxed.Zeriyah turned to the table, nodding.Alex was the first to speak. “How did you first meet Mason?”I rolled my eyes as everyone's gaze shifted to Cirilla's.“At the bar, I worked as a partimer one night. He seemed nice and harmless and I had no idea what or who he truly was, I didn't know who I was myself. But he obviously knew. I thought he cared genuinely about me,”“So you had no idea who he was?” Alex repeated, and my daughter shook her head.“No, I had no idea who he was,”“What do you know about the prophecy?” Greg asked.“I only found out about it a month ago. And I know that somehow I am the reason Mason is here, but contrary to what you may all think, I am not like him and will never b
Asher's Point Of View With a pang of pain in my chest, I sent one last look at my beautiful mate, her eyes fixed on me as I slid into the black truck Wren had brought to pick me up.My eyes watched her grow farther and farther through the sideview mirror until she was completely out of view.I sank deeper into the leather seats, folding my arms against my chest, with my eyes closed and just the conjured image of her calmed me, and I couldn't wait for tonight to be over already.Wren and I drove in silence, and soon, we approached the tarmac where the rest of the group waited for us consisting of demon warriors from the Conclave and warriors from my pack.As we approached, they all bowed to me. Without wasting further time, we boarded the private jet with our backpacks and duffle bags with a box of weapons specially crafted by Ugo. Our destination was Las Vegas.We received recent Intel from our informants scattered across the globe on the lookout for unusual activities regarding demo
Davina's Point Of ViewMy worst nightmare was happening. My fears were all emerging, suffocating me. Killing me from the inside.I couldn't stop the screams, the deathly howls that kept echoing in the corner walls of my mind. I couldn't drive away the gruesome scene from my mind.I didn't know how to deal with everything I had seen and what I was feeling. I felt tears prickle at the corners of my eyes, but I shut them down. I didn't want to break down. Not yet. Otherwise, I fear I may never get back up.I felt Cameron's intense stare on me, but I couldn't even look at him without relieving everything over and over again. I had closed off our mates’ link the instant we returned to the courtroom.Without a single trail of emotion in my voice, and on my face, I informed the entire court of what I had seen in Elle's mind. But this wasn't from her memories. Idalak had done this, showing me exactly what he planned on doing. It ended in the same result as I saw in Cyrene's stone. The end for
Asher's Point Of View My heart was pounding in my chest and I took deep breaths to calm it down.“Nervous?” Theo chuckled, placing a hand on my shoulder as we stared down the beautifully decorated aisle where Cirilla would be coming through any minute from now.“Nope,” I lied, my heart in complete chaos as I tried to steady my breathing. “Sure he is,” Wren voiced coldly, “He's a second from losing his shit,”I fought the urge to glare at him. “Get out of my head, demon,” My eyes remained fixed on the blank evening air. “Relax man! Just take a deep breath otherwise at the rate you'll end up having a heart attack the second you see her,” Stefan whispered from my left, and I couldn't tell if that was a warning or a piece of advice.“Enough, all of you. You're being too loud,” I refrained from shouting, keeping my voice low instead, and wondering why I chose all three of them to be my groomsmen. I should have gone with Daryl, Andy, and Cory instead.‘They are right though. Tune it down
Cameron's Point Of View Hastily, I flipped through the papers, going through them, and as soon as I was satisfied, I scribbled my signature at the bottom of the document, sealing a multibillion deal.I gently placed my fountain pen on the table, glancing up to see Trevor's face beaming with so much elation. “Happy now?” I smirked, getting off from my seat, and pinning together the suit jacket of my tux. “Hurry up and don't be late,” I told the smiling vampire, before strutting out of my office at Castle Corps. Today I had no choice but to step into town and close a deal we've been working on for several months now.I chuckled, as a smile stalked my lips. I couldn't just stop smiling. Today was a good day. The very best. I reached the elevator doors and pressed a button. As soon as it opened, I stepped through the door, at the same time, snapping my fingers, and instantly teleported myself to one of my penthouse suites in Louisiana.I glanced around the large suite and instantly my e
Asher's Point Of View“Just a little sec,” Louis yelled over the loud music playing in the bar as he kept shaking the bottle of wine. In one swift move, he flicked the top open and there was a loud popping sound followed by the dramatic mess of the alcohol pouring around.“Woah,” I heard Eric scream from a corner with a random female on his lap, while he kept chugging down one of the concoctions Louis had mixed the second the party started, and without mincing words, they were all clearly drunk.I groaned in frustration, bringing my fingers to block both of my ears as Amy, Shirley, Enzo, and Dorian were murdering Ava by Famy at a far corner which I clearly remembered wasn't even sung that way.I pulled my beer to my lips, taking a sip. I looked around from the dancing crowd and saw Julia and Wren sitting, also looking completely bored while Kayla and Carl were making out in the backseat booth of the bar, and Malia, Daryl, and Theo were unaccounted for.And here I was seated at one of
Cameron's Point Of ViewI knew it.There was nothing left inside of me. I was nothing more than an empty shell. I felt absolutely nothing but a pain in my heart. A darkness that loomed over every inch of my mind. Just patiently waiting until it finally took over every piece of me.It wouldn't be that bad to shut it all out. To rid myself of this pain that had filled the cavity in my soul, but one glance at Theo and my mate, reminded me I wasn't the only one suffering through it. They needed me. And I needed them.But I couldn't deny it. I also felt a little fear in the smallest crevice of my heart. We would never be okay. There was no way we would ever survive this loss.It was worse than knowing she was somewhere out there but we couldn't find her.Eighteen long years of never giving up. Of searching relentlessly for our little princess, and in the end she ended up in a coffin.It was the most distraught sight for a parent. It was never supposed to be like this. A parent should never
Cirilla's Point Of View For a second I felt a surge of excruciating pain starting from my chest right where the pointed edge of the phoenix blade pierced me, spreading through my bones, and it was as though my whole soul was being sucked into a funnel.But just when I thought the pain was about to get worse, darkness covered my vision, dominating the light around me. And I felt absolutely nothing.That was when I knew it without a doubt. I was dead.At the speed of light, everything that happened within the last minutes of my life flashed before my eyes and the last image of Asher's teary and broken gaze filled with so much pain and sadness tore me completely apart and without realizing, tears pooled out of my eyes. The hurt in his eyes was heartbreaking.I sobbed silently, and abruptly, the darkness that surrounded me began to fade into a blinding light that I had to shut my eyes.By the time I pulled my eyes open, I found myself in the middle of the worst scene of my life, or rathe
Asher’s Point Of View No!A growl resonated within my chest as Mason's words filled my mind. I just knew he was lying. He had to be. There was no way Cirilla's death had to be the end of him.That couldn't be possible. The moon goddess couldn't be so cruel.I did everything to break out from whatever effect Mason's magic had on me, keeping me frozen. But I couldn't. I could barely feel Ryker anymore and even Azalea's strength had weakened greatly from the fucking veil in the sky, blocking out our powers.I could neither connect with Cirilla through our mate bond. Instead, I was forced to watch the broken state she was in and witness her pain I couldn't stop the tears that filled my eyes as her blue eyes moved around and finally fell on mine.“Don't do this,” I begged. Mason was a lying bastard. There must be another way.But the look in her eyes was final. She had made up her mind.No Cirilla!The words echoed in my head but I couldn't get them out. Suddenly her eyes glowed brightly
Cirilla's Point Of View Growling, Nina charged to the surface, and using my magic I dug my claws into the ground creating a magical force of explosion that flung them around, giving those around some time before they would get to them.I glanced over my shoulder at Shirley. She was already in her wolf form and Kayla next to me panicked as these beasts were already bridging the distance between us.Shirley had lunged instantly at one when I heard her panicking cry from over my shoulder.I turned to her just in time to stop one of those things from clawing at her.“My magic!” She screamed, “Something's wrong! I can't use my magic. It's weakening,” “What?”“The boundary spells must be down. It's a veil, it's blocking out our magic, and every source of our powers, but I don't understand why it isn't affecting you,” Kayla rushed in fear.“Back to the mansion!” I yelled, releasing volts of magic at them but they seemed completely unaffected.Shirley and Kayla started for the route leading
Davina's Point Of ViewWe had almost all the ingredients we needed for the spell, including Sheila's blood. I don't know how Asula got it, but Sheila had no idea of what we were about to do. Asula had sent Rowena to retrieve the last piece of ingredients, and she was escorted by Kane and a few of his warriors.We had left the cottage and now followed the familiar trail to the ancient magic cave. Once we entered, she turned to the stone table in the middle, unloading the required ingredients from her basket on the table.“We must begin at once and be done quickly,” She said, scrolling through the Grimoire.“And the last piece of ingredients Rowena has gone to fetch?”“Oh don't worry about her. We have all we need here. I just sent her on a little adventure with Kane. I don't want her here for the spell,”Her words surprised me but I also didn't want her here for the spell, especially with the phoenix stone out in the open.“You have to be careful of the witch. I can't believe someone i
Davina's Point Of ViewWe spent the rest of the night going around the forest. At first, each trail either led us to a dead end or took us through another circle. And Rowena's constant mumbling was a crown on the insane frustration I felt. It took me every bit of self-control not to plunge the dagger in my boots into her chest and I kept reminding myself that I needed her just as much as she needed me to get out of there. Alive.So in the meantime, we were all we had.After hours of going around in circles in the forest, we finally found our way out, bursting out in the middle of a long narrow path, and up ahead seemed like a village.We moved hastily in the darkness, and using the single torch on a stick we managed to light up to see in the darkness. We trekked up the hills and burst into the village. I stopped in my tracks, and as expected there was no single soul in sight. But something else felt wrong. The place felt deserted.“Something doesn't feel right,” Suddenly, I felt a lit
