Octavia PovI gasp as he strikes his claws and hit her in the face, scratching her face and bringing out flesh. I stand there shocked as Helena falls on the floor, holding her face in horror. He walked close to her and grabbed her neck, holding it tightly. Helena's skin started changing as he held her tight, blocking her airway.“How dare you try to kill my daughter? Did you forget you were a filthy and lowly rogue when I met you?” he asked, his voice animalistic. I walk to Silver. “Silver, you have to do something,” I said, shaking him. But he stood there not moving while Lillian cried, looking away.“Silver, if Jared kills her, he will hate himself irrespective of what she did. She is his mate,” I said, shaking him to stop Jared from choking her to death, but Silver just stood there, not moving an inch. I sighed. I really hate Helena and I don’t care what happens to her, but Jared cannot be the one to kill his mate. So without thinking, I moved to Jared and snapped his neck. He fell
Octavia PovIt was the next day and also time for the prosecution. Lillian and I are both going to the arena together, as Silver and Asher are already there.“Are you okay?” I asked, softly. She sighed.“Well, even though I hate her for what she did, I don’t really think I can watch her go through all those pains' ' she said. I smiled. That is where she is different. Silver and Jared have an undying loyalty to her and would do anything for her and they don’t mind killing Helena for her, Jared might mind but right now he is more focused on getting rid of someone who is a threat to his daughter and her unborn pup and I know after she dies he is going to regret it.“You’re lucky” I said. She looked at me.“Why?” she asked.“You have a father and brother who care deeply about you,” I replied. She laughed a little.“I guess I do,” she said. We walked to the arena in silence. When we got there, the place was already packed and Silver, Asher and Jared were standing at the podium. Everywhere w
Octavia PovSilver and I walked to the pack house, heading to our room. I can not see any pack members in sight and I am sure that everyone is trying to get over the shock of what just happened because it’s not everyday you see a mother try to murder her own child and grandchild.“Mate is so sad,” Lila said, sadly.“I knew this was going to happen. He shouldn’t have killed her. He should have gotten someone to kill her, not him. No matter how much he hates her, she was still his mother.” I mind link. “I wonder what Jared is going through right now and he doesn’t even have anyone to comfort him,” she said, laying down sadly. I sighed, well our actions usually have consequences and the three of them are facing it right now. We got to the room, and I sat him on the bed and he was just looking at the wall blankly. I can’t feel his emotions or thoughts because he blocked me out. I sighed, sitting on the floor and removing his shoes. Then I stood up, heading to the bathroom to bring somethi
Octavia PovWe are currently in the evening after all of today's drama. Actually, Silver is asleep and here I am outside the pack house, wandering around. I feel so bad for everyone and right now, all the pack members are in their rooms. Nobody is outside, just a few people. It’s just hard for them to see that their former Luna is this rotten. I got to the woods. It’s still our territory, though. I got to the almost deeper side of the wood and I saw a familiar person.“Mother, what are you doing here?” I asked in surprise, walking closer to her. She was sitting down by a pond, her legs in the water. I joined her sitting beside her.“Just wanted to check up on you,” she said. So indirectly she led me here.“When have you ever checked up on me?” I asked, playing with the water on my feet.“I check up on you all the time,” she said. I scoffed, looking at the water. Well, as you might have guessed, my mother and I are not close. We just tolerate each other.“You don’t think I check up on y
Octavia PovI yawned, turning on my bed. “Silver,” I whined, stretching my hand. “Silver is not here, now put some clothes on, training starts now,” I heard my mother's hard voice. I sat up immediately and she was standing in front of me with Lila beside her. I rolled my eyes, standing up.“So, what am I going to wear?” I asked, folding my hand under my naked breast. “I improved your wardrobe to a closet, so look for something to wear,” she said, disappearing. I look at Lila. “I think mother is pregnant,'' I said, going to the closet. And wow, she really improved it. It doesn’t look like an olden day's wardrobe any more. I started looking for something to wear."Well she isn't" she said, chuckling. I shook my head, her mood swings are way over the top.“I wonder what sort of training she has on her sleeves this time,” Lila said, standing by the door.“Well, let’s not hope on anything, you know how mother is. She is not lenient with her training,” I said, bringing out what to wear
Octavia PovIt has been 2 months since I got here. I am now a better fighter and I am also very strong. Mother has put me and Lila through lots of hard tests. We have battled different monsters, and we managed to kill some with few injuries and some injuries end up very fatal, but all in all, we still killed them. I am now in sync with my powers, I can control all elements and sometimes when I get too angry the weather changes, I also have telekinesis and I also disappear and appear at will, but the most cool one is that I can make any werewolf stop moving. Mother really improved my powers, but the sad thing is she also improved Marcus's power to make everything fair, but I don’t know which power he has. Lila and I are a powerful duo. Mother has trained us and our aura has definitely changed. Now our aura is stronger than ever, our body is now more muscular and fit. I guess I have turned back to who I was years ago and the only difference is now I am not as angry and rebellious. I
Octavia PovI bring out my map and look at it. I have to go right now, so that means I have to come down to the building. I bite my lips, flying off the building. I went right, running down the street. I was not even far gone in the street and I can feel heavy steps behind me. I turn back and oh shit! So many souls were behind me. I ran faster down the street while they all growled and ran after me. I could feel them catching up, so I ran fast and after I had gone a little bit far, I turned back and started running in circles forming a big tornado. The buildings started shaking and the body parts in the street started moving, entering my tornado. After making it, I sent it to them, turning my back and running away as they all enter the big tornado. I decided to check up on Lila. “Hey, how is it going?” My mind link. “I just got the gemstone and I am going to the spot we will meet. What about you?” she asked.“I have not gotten the gem. The souls all seem to attack me after one anoth
Octavia PovThe snake tightens his hold on me, moving closer to me. I have to do something fast. I couldn’t free my hand, neither could I free myself. My head was outside, and he was shocking me to death. I can’t even breathe. Something weird about the snake is that it is glowing green. Why would a snake be glowing green? I look at the snake again and it all made sense; he is protecting the gem and what better way to protect it if not swallow it, that is why he is glowing. I closed my eyes and started moving heavy rocks. The cave shook, as I could feel it. I opened my eyes, and the snake was still moving close to me. I move the big heavy rocks telepathically and slam it on different part of the snake body. The rocks crushed the snake, and he left go of me hissing. I fell on the floor, wheezing. That damn snake wanted to squeeze my guts out. I stand up on my feet, still panting. I have to get the gem out of him, one way or the other. The snake shook his body aggressively. The cave
Five Years LaterBellona Pov“Hayden!” I yelled, running around the house. I heard soft footsteps running around the dinning.“We do not have time for this. The ball is in a few hours!” I yelled, running around the dinning. I saw Hunter running to the hallway, but before he could move, I froze him. Then I turned around, and I saw Hayden and I also froze him. I breathed out in relief, walking to Hayden and Silver came inside with Dean. “They are not dressed yet?” he asked, shocked. He and Dean left us like 2 hours ago to make sure things were okay in the ballroom. He thought when he came back they would be dressed, but those two are the most energetic pups ever. Archie was not even that troublesome, but these two always make sure to keep me on my toes.“They have been running around since,” I said, carrying Hayden.“I don’t want to celebrate my birthday,” he whined.“Well, you have to. That is why you are a prince,” I said.“No birthdays,” he said, trying to sneak out of my arms.“Hayd
Third Person PovThe breeze blows gently against the high walls of the werewolf kingdom, the soft rain beating down the earth gently. It was a full moon tonight and everyone was in their homes, cuddled up with their mates and families. The night has been a long night for the people staying close to the palace as their queen has gone into labor since early morning. Everyone is worried and anxious as the queen cries of labor bounced off the palace walls. Werewolves’ births don’t usually take this long, but she has been in labor for more than 12 hours and, as each hour goes by, her screams are becoming more painful and filled with agony. Asher, Lillian and the pups are outside of the ward, and they are all pacing nervously. She has been in labor since and none of the child has come out, when the pain became unbearable for her Misha appeared. It’s like she just knew her struggles and she has been here since, helping her with the childbirth.“Why is it taking so long?” Bellona breathes
Third Person PovIt’s been a few hours since the war happened in the vampire kingdom and they are yet to be back. The time should be around 6 in the morning. Silver and the pups had freshened up, and Lillian cooked for them. They are waiting for Octavia to come back but Silver is itching to tell her about Asher but he can’t because she has to see him herself. She asked of Zira but he told her she was with Axel. He wondered what her reaction would be to Asher, but Silver knew it wouldn’t be good. “Why are you acting weird?” Lillian asked for the 100th time, looking at Silver puzzled. She noticed her brother has been pacing away quite a lot and also stealing glances at her.“I am not,” he replied. “Why are you looking at me weird, then? Is Zira okay?” she asked, looking at him. Silver shook his head, and Lillian cursed herself. She should have just followed them to the war, but Octavia didn’t allow her. She didn’t even allow her near the conference room when they were discussing the w
Trigger Warning almost at the end of the chapter!Third Person Pov“Missed me?” he asked, the familiar smirk still on his face. Bellona could not believe her eyes, no she refused to believe what she was seeing. I must be dreaming, she thought, pinching herself hard, hard enough to sting her to the bone, but she was not waking up from the dream. She closed her eyes, hoping they were not playing tricks on her, but when she opened it, he was still standing in front of her.“Asher,” she whispered, her voice filled with shock. The last time she saw him was in the cell and the next thing she heard of him was he was dead. Was he alive all this while? But she noticed another thing. He has changed, his hair is darker and longer. His ears are longer and sharp, he is taller and muscular. What shocked her was the giant black wings behind him. Instead of hands, he had claws and two long and fat horns sitting by the two angles of his head. His aura is also dark, like death, and when she smelled him,
Bellona PovIt has been 6 days since the death of Daniel. After Lillian was done with him, the warriors burnt his body and I think everyone respects Lillian better now. Well, that is the thing about us. To earn respect, you have to prove it and Lillian has proven herself of that respect. I did not tell Silver about his last words because I feel it’s irrelevant. He is already dead, so it’s better everyone move on from the betrayal and I think we all did because nobody is talking about him again. I stand in front of the mirror, looking at myself. The time is 4 ‘0 clock in the evening and we are about to move because we plan on attacking them in the night. Am I happy about this attack? Yes, I am. And why am I happy? Because in a few hours time I am going to kill a certain king and I don’t care how it will affect our kingdoms, he bit more than he can chew so he should expect the consequences.“We are waiting for you,” Silver voice cut me out of my thoughts. “Can you help me with this am
Bellona Pov“Yes, Daniel is a spy working for Malcom,” she said. My mouth hung opened in shock. Daniel? A spy? That can’t be possible.“Misha, are you sure? Daniel has been working for me for a long time,” I said. “He is working for you and also not working for you. He is part of the men that were working for Marcus. His loyalty lies with him,” she said. I tried to think of one time Daniel’s behavior was suspicious, but I can’t even think of one. He always seems like the protective big brother, but he has been betraying me all this while? My mouth opened and closed and no words came out. But I wanted to know something.“He also knew about the kidnapping?” I asked, feeling betrayed.“Yes, part of the people who suggested it,” she said, and my heart broke into pieces. This is the ultimate betrayal. I cared for him and treated him like a brother. I gave him whatever he asked of me, as long as he asked, but how could he betray me like this and he did it so well I didn’t even suspect him
Bellona PovWe entered her hut and took our seats in her special room. She sat in front of us and looked at Silver.“Glad to finally meet you,” she said, bowing a little. We both look at her. She doesn’t know him before. She must have just heard of him. “Glad to meet you too,” Silver said politely. She smiled.“Do you want to see your pups?” she asked. “Yes, we will love to,” I said. “Okay, face the mirror, ‘’ she said. I faced the blank mirror, and she flicked her arm and they appeared in the mirror. I smiled as I looked at the three of them. They are sitting on the bed, playing. They are surrounded by so many toys and they look healthy. I breathe out, relieved. They are perfectly okay and I can’t even see any injury to them.“Told you that picture was fake. They don’t even look like someone kidnapped them. They look so relaxed,” I said, smiling happily.“Your pups have been raining hell on them, especially Archie,” Misha said, and my smile widened. I expected nothing less from the
Bellona PovIt has been three days since I got back and not much has changed but today, however; I am on a mission to find Misha. The seal is enchanted, so if she can help me get the location, that would be awesome. Then I will get my pups and also rain hell on Orion. That plan sounds simple, but I know it’s not. I just hope Misha won’t start with her ridiculous game. I am a pregnant woman, so I hope that will stop her.“You ready?” Silver voice cut me out of my thoughts. I adjusted my gown, would have preferred to wear trousers, but I am bloated so nope.“Yes,” I said, walking out of the closet.“So, will your witch friend find the seal?” he asked. “Yes,” I replied.“How long have you known her for?” he asked, taking something off the wall.“Thousands of years? What is that?” I asked, looking at the iron log he pulled from the wall.“It’s a sword,” he said, bringing it out of the iron case. I looked at the sword, it looks lightweight and small, but the blades are looking incredibly
Bellona PovI chuckled, looking at him.“Me? Why would he want me after I turned him down millions of times and I think we all know I can’t just be tamed,” I said, rolling my eyes.“That is what I thought, until he sent this,” he said, giving me a picture. I looked at it and it was the pups. They were tied up in a chair and three vampires with long canines were beside them. I looked at their faces and it was red and swollen, like they had been crying. They were also bloody like they had been beaten. But something about this picture doesn’t add up. “This is quite interesting,” I said, looking at the picture. I can feel shocked faces on me. I looked at Zira and her eyes were blue, but I knew it is red. Archie can’t be tied up. He has powers and I know he can defend himself. Dean looks beaten and worn out and his eyes look bigger and red in tears, but the Dean I know has smaller eyes and he won’t cry outside no matter what someone does to him. I rolled my eyes, burning the picture.“Why
