THIRD PERSON'S POV“Everyone is dead,” The Alpha says in horror as he stares at the dead bodies of his people. ‘The Darhk's had carried out a complete massacre of everyone present in the castle in his absence. He should have known leaving wasn’t a good idea, he did have a bad feeling earlier but Aurora, his mate, had assured him that it wasn’t anything serious and that he should go. But now he doesn’t even know where she is. He speeds up the stairs desperately praying that he finds her sitting down or most likely hiding or even unconscious at worst, regardless, he just hopes desperately that she is alive. He stands in front of his room, with his door wide open and an appalling sight is before his eyes. The sight before him as he walks into his room shatters him internally, it is the most deadly assault he has ever received, the most lethal blow a being could land on him, his mate, his queen, and lover lay mutilated before him, covered in her own blood. “ No!” The Alpha screams i
JASMINE’S POV I feel his hot breath on my neck as he pushes me to the wall trapping me in front of him. I am totally naked before him. It is pitched black and the usual black wisp of smoke emerging from his body surrounds us. All I can see are his blue eyes, all I do is feel. His hands trail down from my neck to my left breast, finding my already erect nipple, he circles it with his fingers and then flicks and tweaks it. I let out a moan as he applies pressure in massaging it. He makes a soft hum of satisfaction as I arch towards him seeking for more silently. He sets my body on fire with his touch and I would be damned if I stop him. I let out a needy sound as his other hand trails down my stomach towards my aching sex. His hand moves so slow that I am about to complain when his other hand leaves my left nipple and immediately caresses my right mound and tweaks the nipple even harder than the first as he sucks on my earlobes, sending high jolts of pleasure down to my already wet pus
I hail a cab and head to the office still very nervous but excited as well. The pay of the job is not as much as I want it to be but the company stated on the employment letter that is not fixed, and that the employee's performance will determine if the pay will be increased or not. I’m determined to put in my best effort, probably even more to ensure I get the pay up to what I’m comfortable with. I am about to relax and calm my excited nerves when I feel the car collide with another. “Jeez ouch! What happened?” I ask when I bump my head on the car door. “ I think I hit a car.” The cab driver says looking very worried as he gets down from the car to inspect the damage. “I'm so sorry, it was an accident.” I hear him say apologetically. “ What bloody accident will make you not see my trafficator or are you blind?” The other driver says angrily with a thick French accent. I get out of the car before the cab driver responds. I need to settle this nicely so I won't get late, first impre
JASMINE'S POV We got every necessary document we needed to base in New York without anyone’s knowledge a few weeks from the time we were supposed to leave. We were both eighteen, and I had just turned so recently, so the travel documents and all the others were not much of a problem. Considering that we both had people we were running from, we were determined to make it work. Reina had much more at stake if the plan were to fail as her guardian, MR Lawrence, who was given access to her inheritance did not show an atom of care towards her. Reina's parents believed that he would take great care of their only child since they had known him for so many years and had no other relative, but they were completely wrong as Reina was turned into a slave in her father's house which MR Lawrence and his family had moved into after her parents were buried, she was made to serve him and his family. She had no luxury at her disposal and lived a life of a common maid and was allowed to go to the best
* Flashback To The Night Of The Escape* THIRD PERSON POV Under the extremely heavy rain, in the opposite direction of the road path Reina and Jasmine are driving through, a driver drives in full acceleration according to the instructions of his boss who seems through his demeanor seems to be desperately trying to catch up with something. The alley looks deserted and creepy, without street lights, being covered by total darkness. The only source of light for those treading on its path are the car headlights which don’t stand out due to the heavy downpour of rain. Sensing the presence of two girls heading towards his direction who are not paying attention to the road they are driving on, the boss seated on the passenger seat of the opposite car decides to inform the driver to avoid the car moving speedily towards them but gets distracted when he hears Jasmine's voice, which pikes his interest and leaves him eager to keep listening, this is until a scream tears through her lips abrupt
*Flashback to the night of the burial* Noah's POV I don’t like the idea, not one bit. I feel Liam's gaze on me probing me for a response. I turn around and face the witch who brought about the ridiculous idea. “If I were to say yes, what would be the plan?” I ask her with a hard look. “Alpha, I will cast a location spell on her and you will find her and bring her here, she will be trained extensively on how to use her powers and will also be well protected.” The Witch says with a pleading look. I stare at her wordlessly waiting for her to continue as I know there is no way she can carry the spell out because she isn’t at full strength and she has failed several previous attempts which she doesn’t know I knew about. “Please Alpha, I have found a way of locating her, I have saved enough energy up till today just for this purpose, I believe I can pull it off.” She continues, urging me to accept. Knowing the fact that it is impossible for any witch, no matter how strong she is to ca
NOAH’S POV.For decades, I’ve found myself getting less attracted to women with each passing day, up until I met the blonde in the rain and recently, my red-haired employee. Surprisingly, both have the same color of eyes, deep green, with an out worldly glow in them, one could stare and get enchanted by it seems to be drawing me into them.The last time I let myself get distracted from my goal, terrible, bloody things happened to the people I cared about and I was not about to repeat the same mistake. Removing my focus from finding my mate and focusing on the root of such a trickle of attraction would be stupid and I pride myself on being someone who prioritizes important things and doesn’t get distracted.I walk over to the car and instruct the driver on the location of the place the meeting is to be held, and I’m about to get in when I hear footsteps running towards me.“Sir! ehm Mr. Noah, I'm sorry for my lack of coordination and my uncultured manners… towards both you and your
NOAH POV“Everywhere is drop-dead silent, no moving bodies, everyone stands in a frozen state.I look up and glare at the culprits.“I'm sorry Alpha.” Both the witch and werewolf say while my second in command just smirks. It's obvious that both the witch, Zara, and the werewolf, Druid, were dueling seriously, and the spear was enchanted.Still, with a hard face, I look around to find the entire place in a mess, with weapons scattered around.“Clean this up,” I say, which they hurriedly did, they know well enough that I don't need to give a verbal warning, the look is enough to tell them it shouldn't happen again.I look up the stairs to find Liam still standing with that foolish smirk on his face. It's a wonder I've tolerated his insolence this long.He has been there through every single thing that's why I give him the benefit of doubt and that's why he is my beta, the second in command.“Ectrapian,” I say with a low voice and before he could register that I cast a spell,
THIRD PERSON POVThe air is tense as magical energy fills the room while spells are being muttered by Hecate, who has a bowl of water in her hand.She has her eyes closed and focuses solely on the bowl in her palms, channeling energy into the spell but still regarding the domineering presence in the room.The King of the underworld stands dominantly in the center of the room oozing a dark suppressing aura, right in front of her as she still carries out her spell.He chose to see her personally this time knowing the delicacy of the plan phase.The Darhk’s need to inform him of the progress in convincing the pixies to get sacrificed for the ritual.Knowing he has limited time on earth, he stands impatiently waiting for her to finish her spell.“What is the progress of the ritual right now?” he asks with a clipped tone.Lien has stood in his spot for two minutes and his aggravation keeps growing with each second Hecate doesn’t provide the answer he needs.“The witches are alread
NOAH’S POV“Why does Sharain want to see me?” I hear Jasmine's voice as she walks into my room putting her hair in a bun.“I’m not certain, she’s never direct with anything she says,” I say nonchalantly with my eyes fixed on her petite and delicate figure that always has me entranced.“Cut her some slack, she sees into the future. She’s one of a kind,” she says walking closer to me, trapping my gaze as she makes lazy strides to the chair I'm seated on.“I know this, doesn’t mean I can’t complain to you,” I say taking her hand as she sits on my lap with her eyes shimmering with happiness. “I take it you had a great day.”“I did, she’s faring well and healthy, her usual over-energetic self though sad that I left her,” she says her tone changing from cheerful to unhappy.“This makes you sad,” I state rather than ask caressing her cheek soothingly.With my hand on her back and hers on my chest, I dwell in the ecstasy of having her this close to me though bearing in mind that my wol
LIAM'S POVI’m flattered Natalie,” I say to her recovering from her verbal caress. “We are almost done with the hunger case, thanks to the mayor’s help. What’s next for you?” I ask her, paving a path for her to talk about the main reason she called.After spending a month with her, it’s safe to say that she is flirting to cover up her true emotions.She always chooses the avoidance route for every problem she faces.Always in a battle with herself on whether or not to trust anyone with these problems.I've noticed that each second her mind is whirring with different possibilities and situations where the information she’ll share about herself would be used against her.This psychological basis is most likely related to her childhood and she found different efficient means to barricade her true feelings no matter how badly she wanted to say them.I guess each person has their personal means and mine is the flirtatious face.“I’m not sure, maybe I’ll just pick on something random
This has to be a dream. “Hey Rei, I brought wine,” I get two loads of internal shock as I hear her words. Eyes greener than its previous dull look, hair golden blonde unlike its ruby red color, and skin having a soft unreal glow unlike its previous neutral appeal. The exact appearance of the floating figure I took a picture of. It can’t be right. It can’t be her. I thought those pics were thrash that I most likely took when I was drunk. The logic didn’t make sense but I put the main source of the pictures behind me. But here she stands, the perfect depiction of the outworldly image I captured on my phone. I had a bunch of reasons to dismiss those photos, one, Jasmine didn’t change her hair color back, two, Jasmine didn’t float, and three, Jasmine isn’t a magician. Besides, the background was appalling, everywhere was chaotic and there was no way such chaos could occur and not still be affecting the town. “Come in bitch, I missed you, you have a lot of explaining to do.” You
JASMINE’S POV“Is it alright if I do?” I ask Noah, whilst we eat at the dining table.“You just had another power surge, we don’t know what’s coming next, so I don’t think that’s a brilliant idea,” he says taking a bite out of his steak.“I understand your concern, but I don’t feel different. Nothing is happening to me and it’s been two days since the power surge,” I insist, urging him to understand how important it is that I do this.“Jasmine, can’t you wait a little while longer before going to see her?” he asks looking directly into my eyes and willing me to give in.“I’ve been away from Reina for months now and I haven’t reached out to her, besides text messages. I’m sure she is worried right now and is probably searching for me. We’ve never been apart for this long and it’s taking a toll on me, I miss her but I can’t even call her because I’m afraid that if I talk to her I might spill something about the supernatural existence and I don’t want her getting sucked into this. I
LIAM’S POVThe sound of the car tires rolling against the graveled path can be heard as complete silence fills the car.Reina sits facing the window looking as though she's deep in thought and my mind wanders to the events of the past few hours.I’m still in disbelief at everything that occurred and the extent to which it affected the human realm.No one expected to see an army of undead soldiers as Sharian had called them, matching through the living realm seeking to claim souls for the underworld.To think that we believed our greatest threat which isn’t much of a threat anymore were the Darhk's who were strictly in charge of causing chaos in the supernatural realm.Our angle of training now supersedes battles against the living but also includes dead souls as our foes.Taking from the entire battle, one would think that supernaturals would be crestfallen and afraid of the new development, but it’s rather the opposite. Due to the Luna’s second power surge, each supernatural h
REINA’S POVHappiness begets pain, pain begets anger and anger begets mistakes, so I’m doing you a favor. Your unhappiness is your saving grace.My uncle’s words ring in my head as I lay my head on the desk trying to put together reasons why I should endure the heartache of being without Jasmine, who is my only family left.I try to convince myself that I’m not being delusional about the fact that she’s in danger and that there’s no way she’d up and leave me without any reason.I vehemently tell myself that she is trapped somewhere that’s why she hasn’t come back to check on me, even once, and not because she simply doesn’t care enough to.Most of all, I desperately will myself to believe that the woman I’ve known and loved all my life didn’t believe that I would be fine with her disappearing on me without any pre-warning.But of course, it’s unlike her, that’s why I have to get to the root of this issue.Something must have happened to my best friend and I’ll not rest until I
NOAH’S POV“What is she doing here?” I ask sternly, once I see Jasmine walking majestically into the heart of the battle, looking as though she is blind-sighted to all the heads that keep rolling with each second.“I’m not sure Alpha, but I can sense that the vampires are on their way here,” Brian, a werewolf answers, clawing the heads off two dead souls simultaneously.“I instructed them to stay put until I gave an order, do you think she went against this?” I ask, but he doesn’t get the chance to answer when Jasmine walks up to us, clearing the lot of dead souls in her path, severing their heads from their bodies.“Ask me directly Noah,” she says fiercely with a glare which has me wondering where the tender look she had in her eyes moments ago when she saw me, went to.“Jasmine,” I say simply, not knowing how to begin an explanation while snapping the necks of three dead souls in a second.“Save it for now, but know that later, you will explain why you didn’t want me by your s
JASMINE’S POV“I don’t think I can take any more of this,” I say to Emerald, as she braids my hair.It’s been a week since I and Noah’s last practice and since then, everything between us has taken a slower grind.I tried to convince myself for the first two days that he was still being reserved because he wanted confirmation of progress with my witch essence.So to convince him, I repeatedly did extraordinary things, some of which surprised me because I had no clue I was that capable.On one occasion, out of pure desperation to get him to see that I am not as puny as I once was, I ignited a flame and made sure it consumed everything around us leaving just both of us as the only exception from its wreckage.I controlled the fire in a manner that its flames didn’t feel uncomfortable around us, but rather warm and soothing.All he gave me was one of his breathtaking smiles that annoyingly still had an effect on me.“I believe he just wants you to work harder before pursuing anyt
