JASMINE’S POV I look at the beautiful middle-aged female in front of me, rendering my complete focus to her to avoid thinking about the unbelievably frustrating male in front of me. I left his room with an ache in my heart, a feeling I’ve never had before and it left me disoriented as I recollected every word he said to me and the implication it has on our relationship. “ I’m surprised you remember me, we didn’t even meet officially.” Sharain says to me with an impressed smile on her face. “ I remember seeing you but I’m not sure where or when.” I say to her completely ignoring Noah’s overwhelming presence in the room. His words sliced through me like a razor-sharp blade, and his lack of trust in me was like a painful jab in my heart. “ I can understand that, it has been a while. I attended your grandmother’s funeral.” She says and I immediately recollect seeing her at the extravagant party my brother threw. “ You were the lady who performed on stage right? You rendered an amaz

NOAH’S POV I watch Jasmine’s reaction to all Shania has said closely and not surprisingly I see her zone out as her breathing becomes more rapid as she digests everything that she has just heard. “ Jasmine, are you okay?” I ask her as I move to a seat closer to her, worried that she might not take it well. I take her hand in mine and rub it tenderly as she turns and faces me with a lost look. I can understand why she is feeling this way, it’s a lot to take in that you have lived life in a different skin, being someone else than who you are meant to be and suddenly your entire life purpose is told to have been predestined having connections with all you thought was normal and simple, complicating the memories you have and leaving you shallow, feeling like a newborn in a life you have lived for years. I felt a similar way once. “ Thank you.” She says to Sharain with a lost smile. “ It’s my pleasure Luna.” Sharain says as she stands up “ I’ll leave you both for now.” She says to b

JASMINE’S POV It’s a week after the heartwarming incident with Noah and I’m currently on my bed having just woken up after my afternoon nap which Noah made compulsory every day ever since he took over as my new witch instructor. Ever since the bittersweet incident with him where he finally let me have a glimpse of what lies deep within that ancient, immortal mind of his, things have become tremendously lot smoother between us, as the thick wall of seclusion that he put up isn’t present anymore and I see the real effort he is putting into being open about his emotions. Even though no sexual activity has been carried out between both of us since then, minus the usual zaps of pleasure and sensual tingles when we touch each other, we both put a boundary between our friendly communication with each other and our sexual interaction, limiting as much physical contact as we can aid our cause. Besides, I don’t think I’m even ready to think deeply about the sexual aspect of our relationship

NOAH’S POVToday is the day I dread most in the entire 365 days of the year and each time it comes, it becomes worse to bear as I remember everything that happened and how long people have had to survive with this punishment.One would think that considering how long I’ve lived, this feeling of guilt would get better as each year passes by, but that’s not the case, as it gets a whole lot worse, because I am reminded of all the things I’ve lost and all I’ve made others lose.I was furious, underneath that anger, I was scared and I took it too far, I lost control and everything went haywire.Now look at what I have- happiness, and as much as I try to deny it every day, I feel it blooming in my heart, and every day, as a result of this happiness, I become even more miserable.But today, today just happens to be the day when I have a rush of reasons crowding my mind and reminding me of why I cannot be happy when I made others suffer, reminding me of how incapable I am of being a lead

JASMINE’S POV“ You know you could have told me that your transformation would happen in a flash, at least I would have turned away on time,” I say, glaring at him as he drives us towards the mansion.“ Unlike what you believe, werewolves don't go through long agonizing pain while changing, it's just a simple morphing, just like reshaping an object made of clay- and besides, if I had warned you, I would have gotten to see that stunned and lustful gaze in your eyes,” He says to me with a teasing smirk that makes me want to kick him out of the car and make him run all the way back to the mansion in his wolf form, but instead I glare at him and remain silent.“ Thank you, Jasmine, “ He says to me suddenly with a solemn and grateful tone, bringing my eyes back to him. “For what?” I ask him clueless as to the reason for his sudden gratitude. “ For coming to get me,” He says with the calmest and most sincere tone he has ever used.He looks at me directly in my eyes and at this mome

THIRD PERSON POV Running through the dusty desert is an easy feat, nothing that can prove to be a form of resistance, even the wind seems to flow in a rhythm with a relatable aura, deadly and lethal. The void in the vast land projects the comfort of isolation, a very familiar feeling, one that clings like the sand to his shoes. Lien has his mind set on reaching his goal, even with his limited span of time to stay on the earth. The Egyptians had proven to have excellent foresight when they made the desert anti-magic, ensuring that any being who set foot in the desert and tried to claim their treasure would go through agonizing torment first. before they were killed and made to rot in the deserted land and their carcass, used as a sufficient replenishment of its ancient magic. But in every situation, there is always a loophole, and Lien knows this. He knows these risks and holds on to his determination to arrive at his destination and retrieve his target, as he races through the h

LIAM’S POV“If that’s the case, then you need to watch her and do it discretely for a while, I cannot afford her getting into trouble right now,” Alpha said and now I’m putting on a shirt, neatly tucked into trousers, a disguise to fit into the mundane appearance of a human workaholic.Which I look ridiculous in.I have to gel my hair to the back to add to the official look I have in mind.If only this human girl hadn’t chosen to be so nosy, I wouldn't be looking like a misfit in my own skin, a stranger to myself, and a clown compared to my usual style.I still wonder why the Alpha had to send me, out of all the willing participants, to babysit a meddlesome human.“ See it and be it Liam – see it and be it,” I say to my mirror reflection trying with great effort not to rip the clothes I have on off my body and throw back on a simple T-shirt and Jean trousers. “ Well, don’t you look dashing?” Alpha says with a mocking tone.“ This is so not the right time to tease me about thi

REINA'S POVWho would have thought that I would be partnered up with a literal Greek god?“ Okay then Hot dawg, let’s get to work,” I say to him and see his eyes narrow at the nickname I just used on him.Like I care if he doesn’t like it, it’s his fault for being smoking hot, making it extremely difficult to dislike him for showing up out of nowhere and interfering with my workflow.“ We’ll be leaving now?”“ Of course, time is of the essence,” I say with a goofy smile with a finger raised up and once again I’m captivated by his looks as he licks his lips ever so lightly.His unique golden eyes look at me crossly seeing that my eyes followed the movement of his tongue running over his lips attentively.His chiseled structured face brings on a frown as he looks at me weirded out and I almost laugh in his face, amused that my sense of attraction towards him seems to annoy him. He sure would attract a lot of attention with his godly looks and it would be a priceless sight to se

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.

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
