Thor's POV Eric is driving me crazy.Kane is driving me crazy.My mate is driving me crazy.All my men are driving me crazy.Or maybe the problem is just me? I don't know which it is. What I know for a fact is that something is seriously wrong with me and I can't quite place my hand on what it is yet. I just feel... disconnected. I'm feeling as if I've been disconnected from an integral part of myself. Something so important that I feel useless without.'Something!... Something!... Something!...' I continually repeat the word to myself wonderingly as I pace around in frustration.'What the fuck is this important something I'm disconnected from that my brain can't grasp anymore!?... What!?... What is it!?... What the fuck is it!?...'I continually ask myself but no answer comes to me. I search my brain for the answer. I feel this SOMETHING is very close but still, I can't reach it. My brain feels to me like a difficult puzzle that I can't solve no matter how hard I try. I grow
Thor's POV"Feral!?" I shockingly repeat out loud.'Feral' The word every shifter doesn't want associate with them unless you want to get locked up in heavy silver chains inside a council dungeon"What the fuck are you talking about? Why will I be going feral?" I ask in disbelief. My eyes look from Eric to Ivar and then back to Eric again.'They can't be serious.' I think to myself as I frantically look around the room for a mirror to confirm their words. Of course, I know they will never yank my chain with something as crazy as me going feral but I still had to see for myself. I don't see any mirror in side the office so I set out to search for their toilet, closely followed by Eric and Ivar. Bear abandoned where he stood guarding the door to also follow behind us.Right there inside the lady's room, I finally confirm what I already suspected to be true to myself. My right eye; pupil, iris, and sclera, are pitch black like it belongs to a demon while the other is deep red like an A
Miranda's POVThere might be an inauguration ceremony for me after all. I'm not worried anymore. My mind is at peace now that Celine told me all I need is five minutes. I just need to be alone with Thor for five minutes to execute my next plan and everything will fall into its rightful place.The room they lock me in is obviously not meant for a Luna but it looks nice. I sniff the air around me and realize It must be a guest room that is rarely used since no essence of the prior occupant lingers in the air. The bed looks inviting, it reminds me of the fact that I've not slept in more than eighteen hours My eyes feel heavy and grainy because of lack of sleep but I dare not close them, not now anyway. I have to be ready to have my five-minute opportunity with Thor. I need to finally possess and be in control of his mind completely so he will do whatever I ask for. And the first checkbox I need to tick on the list of the things I want Thor to do for me is to kill AshYes! The sorcerer s
Miranda's POVI am on the brink of giving up. I am tired. I am hungry and I am thirsty. For how long will they keep punishing me with starvation I wonder.I look with hatred from the useless bottle of water in my hand and toward Ella who has gone back to sitting on her mate's lap with a smug look on her face. Since I don't have the power to fight her, I wish I knew sorcery, so I can make her die in the most gruesome way I can ever think of."I understand that look..." Thor's Beta whispers loud enough for everyone to hear in my ears. "You hate Ella so much you can't wait to kill her right?... Don't worry, you'll have your opportunity to kill her later when you both fight each other, okay?"He speaks with compassion as if he understands the way I'm feeling but I know he's mocking me from the sinister smile on his face. Five minutes is all I need alone with Thor, Moon goddess please grant my wish. Please! I pray silently in my heart"Well, you don't have to drink the water if you don't
Ash's POVEric assured me that my mate will one day return to me but his words aren't assuring enough to stop Sif from howling inside my head for Kane and it certainly isn't assuring enough to stop my heart from painfully aching for Thor. There's this feeling of emptiness I have inside me that Eric's words of assurance couldn't fill up no matter how genuine they sounded. He told me I shouldn't attempt to see Thor. I can't even call him. He said I should give him a month to sort things out, everything will be back in place by then.But how am I ever going to last a month when everything I think of is...'I wonder what he's doing right now I wonder if he's making love to Miranda right nowI wonder if they're out on a date right now...'I don't think I'll last a month. I want my mate now. My body, heart, and soul yearned for him. My fervent need to see him makes it impossible for me to function at anything. I haven't stopped crying ever since Eric left. I am miserable to the extent th
It's almost sunset. The beautiful time on a hot sunny day that brings the right amount of wind to cool down the heat brought by the sun during the day. I'm in the middle of a golden wheat field that sways gently all around me as I search for something.Something? What am I searching for again? I straighten up to wonder but I can't remember no matter how hard I try to. "Tch" I scoff and shrug in resignation before plucking a stalk of wheat, holding it to my long golden tresses that the wind is blowing against my face. "It's exactly the same color," I whisper and smile to myself. I then hold the stalk to my nose and inhale deeply with my eyes closed. It smells earthy and of raw flour. It reminds me of Martha baking in the kitchen."Ash!..." I suddenly hear Lilly's voice shout my name from afar... Or is that Martha's voice? I wonder in confusion. I'm too far into the field to be able to tell their voices apart."Ash, they're going to kill you!" The voice screams out in warning this t
I attempt to stand up from the bed and lunge for the one nearest to me but I fall right back in. My legs feel rubbery like they can no longer support my weight. "What did you do to me!?" I shout as I glare at them with so much hatred. "Where is my mother!?"None of them speak. How can someone that just served me tea be dead!? That's simply impossible! She's harmless. She's innocent. This must be a joke. They wouldn't dare kill my mother and talk about her so casually as if she's nothing. Even though I'm in so much pain, I laugh like I just heard a bad joke and looking directly at the one I presume to be the leader."I want my mother! Take me to my mother you, meathead! If any one of you hurts as much as a single strand of hair on her head then the person is dead! You're all dead! I'm going to kill you all no matter how long it takes!..." While I hatefully shout my threats to them, they slightly turn their backs and talk under their breaths about me but I hear them clearly."Fucking
"That's enough crying! Get up, we don't have all day!" One of the council policemen snaps coldly behind me. I should indeed get up and kill the son of a bitch that speaks so coldly about my mother but I don't want to leave her lying all by herself on the floor. The carpet is completely soaked through with her blood but I feel maybe if I call her name louder, she'll hear me and wake up. I gently call her, lightly touching her face in the process..."Martha!... Mommy!... Please wake up... Ma! Wake up, please! Don't leave me! Don't leave me, Mom, please." I put my cheek to her nose again, praying in my heart for some miracle to happen... I feel something... Or could it be my imagination? I thought and make myself concentrate despite the shitty talk from the policemen and the urgency in their voices.'Oh my god, I feel something! It's the faintest puff of air but I felt it.'I can't remember the last time I've ever begged anyone for anything. Even when I was being subjected to unimagi
"Yes, we came as soon as your Dad told us. He drove down here like a madman, almost killing us in the process!" Eric complains behind Thor and I laugh, gently pushing away so I can properly look at my man."Oh, babe!" I say. I touch his head and all over his face while telling myself, this is real. It is not an illusion. My mate is standing here before me. He's holding me in his arms."I'm not dreaming or am I?..." I seriously ask, looking deeply into his eyes. "This is not an illusion?" I ask again, kissing him this time. "Eric and Lily are not playing tricks on me?" His smile widens as he shakes his head,"No, babycakes." He replies and then crushes his mouth onto mine. His lips push mine open, making way for his tongue to deeply delve and explore the insides of my mouth. I kiss him back as fiercely, clinging tightly to him with my arms wrapped around his neck and my legs around his waist."Did that feel like an illusion?" He whispers into my ear after he pulls away from our kis
I enter the doctor's office, expecting to see Doctor Anders but it's another doctor that I see sitting in his chair. The man's eyes widen with surprise as I enter. "Oh, my!..." He exclaims and immediately stands from his chair, bowing so deeply his head almost hits the desk in front of him.He recognizes me even though we've not met before. Indeed the news about me saving everyone has spread amongst the warriors. I guess they also know I'm the one with the Lycan wolf. I wonder how long it will take my Lycanthropy secret to spread to the outside world."Luna–ma'am... I'm so sorry! I– I didn't know– I mean, we weren't expecting you! I would have personally gathered everyone to welcome you if I'd known and..." "No, that won't be necessary..." I say with a smile. Gather everyone to welcome me! Isn't that doing too much? I look from him to Ella. "I was expecting to see Doctor Anders?...""Oh, that's my bad, Luna, I should have informed you ahead of time before we arrived here..."
"I saved us!? How did I do that!?" I ask in disbelief since I don't remember doing anything but cry."We lost our powers. He was separated from the rest of us. The witch's plan was for me to watch him die a painful death and all I remember doing was cry. So how did I do it? How did I save us?"You screamed..." Lily replies I frown"That was it!?... I just screamed?" I ask not understanding how that helped save people's lives."Yes!" Ella says with excitement." You screamed and combusted!..." My eyebrows shots up in surprise as I continue to listen to her talk"The General told us all about it. He said it's one of your abilities. Besides, I was there that day when Alpha Elias asked about your powers and you told us what happened when you screamed in anger once."That was the day Miranda and the Council police came to arrest me. "That was what saved us!? And I combusted!?" "Yes! You screamed and burst into blue flame. They all flee. Fighting to escape the agonizing pain your screa
Ash's POV "Come on, babe! You can do it!" Thor softly says behind me. "Control is in the mind, remember? You control your powers with what your mind will and wish for. It will do what you ask it to do. It will harm or kill anyone you wish to harm or kill." "But I'm trying!" I shout with frustration. "I'm trying but it's not working!""Try harder!" I hear Granduncle Beowulf's firm voice say. "You're Goddess Sif. The chosen one of our House Howell. You're also a Lycan so give it your all! Try harder!""If you want to do it then you have to stop panicking so you can be able to concentrate." My mom's gentle voice takes over from Granduncle Beowulf. "Calm down. Relax and try to breathe through it. You can do it. I believe in you. Breathe my darling, breathe..." "Okay!" I say, nodding my head as I take deep breaths in before letting it out slowly. "I am Lycan. I am Goddess Sif. I am the chosen one of House Howell. I can do it. Control is in the mind...Control is in the mind...Cont
My eyes widen when the ground drops from underneath everyone right before my eyes. Or should I say they're floating above the ground? What is this? What is happening all of a sudden?I look around me and realize, no, not everyone, just the werewolves! The wereapes and hybrids are standing firmly on the ground while the werewolves float above it.Wait, I'm a werewolf. Why am I not floating with the others? Why am I the only one standing with our enemies?And why is everywhere this quiet all of a sudden? What happened to the mighty growls and groans? Come to think of it, they didn't just stop growling and groaning; they're motionless. They look frozen in place? "Thor!" I hear my name and my heart skips a bit with apprehension.Ash. I would recognize that voice anywhere. I suspected they wouldn't be able to stop her. Now she's here. God, why does she have to be here now that everything is turning upside down? My eyes search among the crowd of werewolves above the ground until I see
Thor's POVThe outcome of a battle could be decided by various factors which include the skill of the commanding officers, the numbers and experience of the warriors, the instruments and weapons used, the battleground, the weather conditions... and so onMind you; I said 'could be.' No one can predict the outcome of a war. Even if you get all your ducks in a row before the battle or your warriors are already having the upper hand during the battle, unexpected circumstances can suddenly turn the tide and fuck things up for you. Back in Denmark duels and battles between packs are the norm. It's a way to expand our territories, establish honor, and settle disputes. I've fought in many battles in the fifteen years I stayed with my uncle but none as crazily wild as this. A few minutes into it, I realized despite all the training we've had, we're still far from ready. Werewolf vs Wereape is a fair fight. Werewolf vs. hybrid is death sentence, especially for the nonoriginals among us. I
What the hell! I shockingly gaspIt's not a wereape child. It's a human! A human child wearing a wereape costume! My eyes narrow in disbelief when I see more hybrids coming out from behind her. Like, they're literally coming out of thin air. When Eric and Lily opened their portals, I saw the air shimmered before the space opened and widened into a hole big enough for multitudes to pass through. This is just plain space. More of them are coming out of plain, space! I whirl around, looking for Lily, but I don't see her anywhere.The only human form I see driving a dagger into a wereape's heart is a stranger. A black woman that reminds me of a character in a famous movie series. Oh, yes. Ancient witches take the form of another when their identity is exposed or they don't want to be exposed."Lily!" I growl over the chaotic howls and growls around us and the woman turns to look at me."Lily?" I questioningly call again to double sure and she smiles. Hurrying to me as she wipes her bl
The air reeks of blood, burnt flesh, and the sickening stench of dark wolves. Mighty growls and snarls reverberate all around me, filling my head with vivid images of the battle raging nearby.Even though my Lycan is running fast and hard, the loose beach sand slows me down, making it feel as if I'm running in slow motion. Damn, dunes! And damn Thor for sending me to the farthest part of the beach where hills of sand are molded everywhere.My heart beats wildly inside my chest. It's not only because I'm extremely anxious though. It's mostly because I'm feeling my mate's emotions– rage, fear, frustration, desperation... This makes me wonder, if the mighty Thor is feeling this way, then doesn't it mean the apes have the upper hand?I stumble and growl out in pain when I suddenly feel a sharp unbearable pain on my right flank. I touch the place and subconsciously look down at my hand. What was I expecting to see? Blood? I wonder.Almost immediately, I feel another ripping pain on my l
The moment I rise to follow the rest a strong hand holds me back. I turn to look at the person and I see Thor looking down at me, clearly looking worried. I wonder if he had been behind me all this while. I couldn't have known since our essence had been masked by Lily so the enemies wouldn't be able to smell our presence.I try to switch my grim expression into a smile but I'm not sure I manage to successfully pull it off. "Baby, we...""Do you remember what we talked about when I got my Thor power?" He hurriedly asks, cutting me off mid-sentence I frown, trying to recall that particular conversation "About control?" I ask He nods"Yes, about control. You're Goddess Sif. The chosen one of House Howell and a Lycan. If the time comes then don't be afraid to summon and use your powers. Control is in the mind. You control your powers with what your mind will and wish for. It will do what you ask it to do. It will harm or kill anyone you wish to harm or kill, you understand me!?" H
