Dante POV
The night was cold and there was no sign of the stars coming out. Going through the deepest part of the forest, is always the fun part of being a wolf hunter and on this fateful night, the crew and myself are on the same mission; to capture more wolves."Bet you wouldn't see these bloody creatures out here today, after their last encounter with us." Steve, one of the crew member indicated as we pulled through the several branches."How about you try and be positive for once Steve." I yelled back as we pulled further into the forest. An object suddenly came into my line of vision and upon closer look, I realized it was some sort of bandana."Heads up guys, I believe we would be having company soon." I picked up the red bandana and walked the straight paths that it had fallen. The sound of a river side perked up my ears and forcing me to moving towards such direction.Upon arrival, a body laid beside the river unmoving. This propelled me to go check up on the person."Is she dead?" Steve asked.While the body looked completely subconscious, I knew she still had life within, giving me the believe that she was still alive."She would be fine....." I said pulling off my gun. "Here hold this for me." I said to Steve, who hesitated before picking the gun."Are you sure Mr. Collins wouldn't complain about this?" While I understood the rules of the werewolf hunter, I was still a human after all and empathy is my greatest trait."We cannot leave her and let her die, someone had to be there with her." From her facial expression, she looked completely in disarray; an indication she had been worried or scared of something.Once we arrived at the huts, I had told Steve to tell Collins that I had brought in the girl and while I knew he would complain, I already planned on speaking to him later.After giving her certain herbs, I sat beside her for a moment, wondering what a young girl would be doing alone in the forest. She didn't appeared to look like a werewolf and for most part of it, she was extremely beautiful."Is she going to live?" Steve had stepped into the hut and sat beside me."I think she would, I mean look at her, a beautiful girl like this shouldn't be exposed to the dangers of the forest." I admitted honestly. However the silence from Steve forced me to look around. "Wait, don't tell me you believe I already have a thing for this girl." I added"First off, you took her to your hut, she is on your personal clothes and above all you allowed her in your bed. I have never seen such utter kindness from you, which leads me to believe that you like her." I rolled my eyes at Steve for thinking too much."I don't know her to begin with, once in a hunter's life, you just have to show empathy." He shrugged and got up to his feet."Once you done, Collins would love to see you." He said and pulled out of the hut. While I ensure the lamp was still burning, my thought went towards Collins and what he would possibly think of such situation.*Collins is the head of all hunters and above all, he was a friend. He believed that in a matter of months, we could be able to take down major wolves in the forest and I stand by his words.Seeing him standing alone, staring into the stars beside a camp fire he already built, with a ciger in his mouth, showed how much he loved to be in his space."I heard you brought in a girl." He said pulling his cigarettes off his mouth."I couldn't leave her out there to suffer by herself." I admitted, coming to seat beside him. He had a jar of water beside him, to which I gulped down."We are hunters Dante and not just any hunters, werewolf hunters. What if she is a trap? What if these dogs think highly of us and they decide to create a distraction from our plan. Remember you cannot say if she is a wolf or not." I refused to believe that she was a wolf. Every nerve in her body proved to be human."I don't think she is a wolf." I aired out my opinion."No one knows Dante, no one knows what these species look like." He threw his ciger into the fire. "I will have you understand that taking that girl in, means she had become your responsibility and even if she isn't a bait, what do you plan on doing with her? Taking her back home? Heck what if she doesn't have a home? What are you going to do." There is no denying the fact that Collins had a point in his statement, but a gut feeling within held me attracted to the girl."She is awake." We both turned around to look at Steve step in to the camp fire. Upon hearing the news, I excused myself and retire back to my hut to see the young one looking around in total confusion."Hello there. How are you feeling?" Once she heard my voice, she got scared and moved further into the walls. Her eyes were fixated on the gun within my reach and it was obvious she had belief I had abducted her."Please don't hurt me." She pleaded."I won't hurt you, I just need to know who are you and how are you feeling." I walked closer to meet up with her, despite her anxiety."What is your name." Her eyes held nothing short of confusion. It was almost as though she was trying to figure out my question out."I can't remember my name." She said in actual shock and realization.Nadia POVMy brain was almost blank; I couldn't figure out what my name is or how I even came about here. However the demeanor of the man standing beside me, showed he wasn't an evil person. "You can't remember your name?" He asked. "Yes. I don't know who I am." I watched him walk up to the lamp and reduce it's brightness. "Please how did I get here? Who are you? What is this place?" Several questions flying around and while I hoped that answers would be given, I began to wonder if I could grasp the things he was going to say." "You were laying unconscious beside a river and I had picked you up, seeing you were much alive." I tried remembering the scene he had just said in my head, but it was totally blank. "Who are you?" He smiled and sat down beside my bed, his eyes not leaving mine. "My name is Dante and I happen to hunt down Werewolves." While the last statement seemed to be familiar, I couldn't get a perfect pictorial excerpt of the statement. "What are Werewolves?" He raise
Dante POVIt is obvious that Collins mind was made up. Seeing Lillith all filled with anxiety had me really becoming worried. The little time we shared last night proved to me what truly is quite unimaginable; an intense attraction for her. "Alright then, we are going to take it gentle with her." Collins said, holding up the Wolf bane in his hands. "Collins, we both know she could get hurt." I said, hoping he would reconsider the decision he has made. "Would you have me reporting to the directors of your inaction against this group? Remember your importance." Deep down, there was an intuitive feeling that made me believe Collins had a genuine hate Lillith. I watched Collins stretch her hands slashed it open with a knife. The scene was uncomfortable to behold and something I felt a way of resisting. While Collins attempted to use the Wolf bane, Lillth resisted, much to the surprise of everyone. "Lilith, I assure you it won't hurt." Collins said. The growl that emitted from her lip
Dante POVWithin every veins of my fibre, anger and rage soared through. The fact that Collins had shot Nadia without no remorse made me loose all sense of logic. "Dante, remember you would be punished if you attempt to assault Collins. Remember thw code rule of the hunting group. Yield yourself peacefully, we don't have to do this with force applied." There was no way I was going bro leave Lillith here. I looked from Collins to Nadia's dead body and in that moment, I knew where my heart lies. "You know what; screw this organization, screw you and every single one that opted to be part of it." I leaned down and picked Nadia up and stared back at them. "I am out of it." From my peripheral vision, I could still see a struggle between Collins and Steve but at this point I didn't care. Walking past several paths in the forest, my intention was to find a means to get back Nadia. It was weird, but I believed she could still be brought back to life. The awareness of other past packs that w
Dante POV I looked up and noticed the man staring down at me in confusion. He rushed over to Lillith's side, who was still unconscious."She has no life." His words fueled my anxiety. Did I do anything wrong? Did I cast the wrong spell? Did he give me the right book? Several questions kept flying through my head. However one main thing reminded constant in my subconscious thoughts; I had possessed strange energy."Listen, we need to do something, I need to help her. It is obvious the Bishap book didn't help." I pleaded to the man, whose name I am yet to discover."I have someone that could perfectly explain the whole situation. I am merely a library keeper, who knows all the books here." Staring at Lillith's lifeless body, I couldn't help but be amazed by her beauty. Even in her subconscious state, she was still very perfect."Lead me to this person you talk about, I beg you." I watched as he rushed over to his counter, pulled up a pen and a paper and scribbled something unto the piec
Nadia POVThe world was quiet for some moment, till my ears began to pick up whispers. I couldn't comprehend what was happening. The whispers increased and after a while, I heard a slight giggle, followed by a groan of frustration.Right before I could open my eyes to comprehend what was happening, a bright light illuminated my face and at that moment, I used my hand as a shield to protect my face. "Happy Birthday!" I smiled, seeing the people that had gathered in my room with several birthday presents. Slowly I got up from the bed as they urged me to snuff out the candle. It was my eighteenth birthday and I had almost forgotten about it. My family were the best and seeing their happy faces light up my day. I cut through the cake and tasted it, feeling it's goodness."So Anabelle, what is your birthday wish?" My beloved sister Rachel asked. She is the life of the house and always had a means to make everyone feel good about themselves."I haven't really thought about anyone." I admit
Dante POVThe world stopped almost the second I laid eyes on the young maiden right before me. There was something about her that pulled me close, but I couldn't lay hands to it. At her left hand, I noticed a dagger and it was apparent she was up to no good. Her pale body, coupled with her long nails gave me the hint that she was a witch."What do you want from me?" I pulled my riffles and aimed it directly at her. She had her hands up in the air, her eyes still holding signs of recognition."What is strange is that I have seen you before and this scene several times." Her statement caught me off guard. I perfectly understood the fact that witches were magical creatures, but I never knew they could speak parables as well."What are you talking about." She was about to explain, when a bright light flashed across the tunnel, almost blinding my vision."Good Job Mr. Taylor, we will take it from here." Adjusting my eyesight to the light, several men had surrounded the tunnel, all with riff
Nadia POVThe entire coven had gathered at the peak of the moon, dancing and singing across the fires of the night. The smile on the face of the queen showed that I would be fully welcomed as one of the witches to the pack. "Tonight, you have shown that you are not only a true witch, but could pose as a warrior as well." The Queen revealed, holding up the head of the witch hunter. "She didn't just bring any head to the coven, she brought to us, the head of a witch hunter. It shows how much bravery she posses and indeed you shall be inducted properly." The next few minutes were spent on rituals and eventually I felt a surge of energy running through my veins, after I had taken a potion given to me by the queen."Welcome to the Coven Anabelle." The rest of the witches all screamed in joy. I could see the smile beaming through my mother's face as she watch the induction go on.Once the ceremony was over, I was left alone heading towards my home, after a hectic day. I dashed to the bedroo
Dante POVI was lost in her eyes, the moment she came out of the woods. I wondered if she was ever stalking me."What are you doing here.. Especially with a dagger in your hands." She dropped her dagger and seemed to be contemplating about something. On a closer look to her demeanor, I noticed she was a little moody; almost in the same manner as someone who was sulking."None of your business." She indicated placing the dagger back into her cloak and attempting to leave."It would have been none of my business initially, but considering I saved your life from the witch hunters, I think I deserve some credits." I revealed with a smile up on my face. She literally rolled her eyes at me, walking casually over to my side with a look of no emotion laced up on her face."Listen to me human, I don't want to have anything to do with your creature and indeed I am truly grateful for your help, which is why I am showing mercy. I had the intention of slitting that throat of yours, the moment I lai
Nadia P.O.VIt was absolutely magical as each one of the witches dropped to their knees and stayed in the position.“Is that his power?” Alina asked, referring to Levi, whose eyes were already blazing gold.“He is the only one with the mind controlling power” I replied.“Mr. Halway way once told me that he, who has the power to control minds, has the ability to do a lot with it” I couldn't agree less with what she had just said, as it was the obvious truth.Suddenly, the witches stood up and turned around and began walking away. Not a single one dared turn around to look back.“Where do you think they are going?” I had no clue as we both watched them disappear into the woods, before the King and Levi turned their gaze to us.The King was certainly full of a smile as he and Levi approached us. Alina had propelled me to try a new act with our powers combined, and it certainly worked well.“Hours ago, I was beginning to get worried that the chosen ones weren't mentally and physically pre
LEVI POVThe witches were moving aggressively towards our City, each one of them determined to be the first to rain havoc on the land.I was propelled to use my power at first, when suddenly, out of the sky, lighting came striking; a signature magic I had come to know belonged to my father. It was our plan to hold them for as long as we can, as I knew the battle would be too much for Anabelle to handle all alone. The moment the witches laid eyes on us, they smelt authority and I could see the visible worry on their faces as they kept coming. They needed no soothsayer to describe it to them that these were people of reputable character in the city.“Listen, we have fought wars together, and I require you to know that if anything were to happen to me, don't let your guard down and also be faced with my fate, make sure you fight until the end,” Father revealed. I couldn't believe that My father could say such a thing. I turned around to stare at him in the face.“Father, nothing is goi
Nadia POV“Listen to me, the witches are here, and it appears that the Nordic witch could possibly be here too” Anxiety washed all over my body as he made mention of this.“But she was said to attack in three days from now!” Dante replied.“We don't understand why she had changed her mind, but as it stands, we need all hands on deck” The King indicated as he headed out of the throne room, while Levi followed him.Dante and I followed suit, as we didn't know what we were to do at this point. As we walked through the hallway, Alina stepped out of her room and held a sword behind her; she seemed to have been briefed about the battle as well.Levi and Alina were in my sight, and they had the same look of worry as I had within me.“I am uncertain if we are ready for this war. It came unexpectedly!” Alina stated to Levi, who seemed not to pay close attention.“But we have no choice for real, all we need to do is to make sure to hold them back from penetrating the borders” Levi finally repli
Nadia POVGetting up from the floor, I still looked absolutely deep in thought about what I had just witnessed. “The least you can do is say something.” Levi urged on as he stared down at me.“I need to see Dante immediately!” I voiced my thoughts.“Why would you want to see Dante? We are in the middle of training, and you want to be with your boyfriend.” I stared back at Levi with so much disdain, due to the comments he had made regarding Dante.“This is very time-sensitive, Mr. Halway, you need to understand.” I watched on as the wizard stared into space. I wondered what was going through his head and, furthermore, why he had refused to give me an answer at that instant.“I guess destiny has always been meant to happen one day, and I am guessing it is this moment.” Mr. Halway commented with a smile directed in my direction. “It took you long enough to finally see what has been there.” I stared in disbelief as I realized he knew everything, but had chosen to keep mute.After giving
Nadia POV"I love you." I confessed the moment I pulled off from his soft lips. "Dante, I know my statement earlier on had affected you and I need you to understand that I was simply scared for myself. I haven't been in this sort of situation before. The feeling was new." I confessed as Dante listened on."I had loved you from the very first day you saved me from the witches and I would never ever be grateful enough. I would forever place it as an amazing mystery that I fell in love with a human." He placed his hands on my lips, stopping any further words from coming out of my mouth."That is all the confirmation I need from you." Again, he held my chin and lean in to capture my lips in a passionate kiss. This time, I knew I needed not to hold back any longer. I wanted this and he wanted it as well.Standing up from his sitting position, Dante hoisted me up in his hands, showing to me how strong he could be. He placed me gently on the bed and slowly deepened the kiss. His hands slowl
Nadia POVDante and I stared at Levi and Alina who had goofy smiles on their faces. It was really embarrassing, knowing they had caught us in the act, with little or no excuse to evade the situation."Why are you both here?" I asked, feeling slightly embarrassed and moving away from Dante farther than I was in the moment."Well, a little birdie told us about an action happening in the training room and we realized we needed to come see for ourselves." I stared at Dante, who was staring back in disbelief as to who had let them in on the situation."I think I did." We both turned to the doorway and Mr. Halfway stepped in with a smile on his face. "I mean it has been there for a long time and the tension between you both needed to be broken and what a perfect way to break it." He finished off with a smile on his face."We were just soaked up in the moment, nothing personal going on between us." I chipped in and they all laughed out loud. Looking around, I noticed Dante's mood had chang
Nadia POVMorning came faster than I had thought and I still haven't spoken with Dante. Deep down I felt frustrated, knowing we were not on talking terms. It didn't however stopped me from not being with Mr. Halway in the training ground."Great to see you back again Anabelle." Mr. Halway all dressed in his dark robe commented. "Seems something is going on with you, I noticed how grumpy you looked while stepping into the training ground." I sat beside him and gave a fake smile, assuring that I was fine."Alright then, let's start for the day." He pulled a scroll out of his cloak and spread it wide enough to reveal unbelievable diagrams. "I need you to be equipped with the knowledge of your power." He pointed at one of the diagrams. "The world as we know it, is divided into four parts; the witch covens, the human Kingdom, the Werewolf Packs and the vampire kingdoms." Staring at the diagram, I noticed the several territories that he was pointing out and realized the humans were the maj
Nadia POVMy conclusion at the identity of Mr. Halway, simply left me star struck on a man, who has held the Valve Coven for quite some time now."I am guessing you finally know me?" He asked, seeing the reaction on my face."How are you?" He placed a hand on his lips, indicating that I needed to keep quiet."They must not know my identity.." He revealed in a hush tone, looking left and right and eventually drawing closer to meet me. "You see, humans don't have a good history with witches and being a wizard, it would spell doom for myself. I was able to cover up your track and Alina's, when I realized you were witches." It all made sense in that moment; many at times I had always thought about how my true identity would suffice and I would be cast away, but with the concealment, I fully believe it would no longer happen."You need to get some rest Anabelle, tomorrow is going to be a very long day." He stated, getting up to his feet and stretching his entire body. As he left the traini
Nadia POVWords could not describe that moment of raw emotions as we laid back on the bed. His hands all over my body, creating more intensity, I could only crave for more. Instinctively, I pulled his robes off, revealing his chiseled abs that made him simply a friction of a Greek god. He bites across my lips, forcing a moan out of my mouth, while my lower self clings together, squeezing out little juices in the process.I wanted sheer ecstasy, but the fear of what we might become afterwards filled my mind once again, and in that single moment, I mustered all the strength I could, and pushed him off."I am sorry, I can't." I said to him, getting up from the bed and adjusting my clothes back. I attempted to head over to the door, but his voice held me back."Everytime we make out, I realize that you might just be exactly who I have been searching for all these years. I can't explain but it feels so like her; you remind me of Lillth. Anabelle." Deep within, I knew he had a point, but w
