Damian’s POV:“I thought you were ready,” Merida says mockingly. “You didn't play fair,” I say, still watchful for her next attack. “Agni àrd,” Merida commands and the same ball of flame flies towards me. “Oh lord,” I say, shocked as I try once more to catch it. I manage to stop it in the air with all my strength and my knees buckling, until her smile grows larger and she strikes, letting the ball of flame hit me.I fell to the floor face flat as the fire hit. “Oophf,” I groan and try to get up but I feel the pain in my arm. “What's the matter?” I hear Merida ask, her voice cracking with laughter. “I thought you could handle it,” she continued and I rise up. My gaze is hard on her and I get into position. She continues to aim at me using the elements. “What are you doing?” I ask and she raises her eyebrow.“What do you mean?” She asks and I lose my cool. “You're not training me. You're having fun,” I confess. “This is …” she starts but I don't let her finish. “Practice as
Damian’s POV“Either one of us had to die and I refused to be the one,” Elsa added. I looked at Elsa and a load of emotion claimed me. What Merida had said about her earlier is not true. “How did the training go? Was it fun?”, Dennis asked jokingly.I know he tried to piss me off knowing how much I hate Merida.“More like deadly. She tried to kill me with flame balls, twice!”. I placed emphasis on it twice. “But she can’t, knowing it will be a breach of her promise. But if she tries it, I will kill her”, Elsa looked at me and said this line.There was a brief silence while we walked toward the castle.“Caspian has not attacked yet, that is very unlikely of him”, Dennis said, breaking the silence. “Then he must have discovered that Merida is not yet dead. He knows he can’t if she is not dead. She knows his weakness”, I added.“Surprisingly, she also wants him dead”, Dennis stated again“Which is why she can’t kill us. She gets protection from us and we are also against Caspian”, El
Caspian’s POV“I…I don't know,” I pant. It hurts like hell, and I know it won't be easy to handle”, I confessed.I took a long, deep look at the line that was on my body.Raider kept looking at me through the reflection.“But why did you go for dark magic? You know it is very dangerous and can kill if you are not powerful enough”, Raider stressed.“I needed extra power to bring Elsa and her pack down since they refused our proposal before”.I left the mirror and went to get a change of clothes. I put on the cloth and faced Raider again.“Don’t you think they are too proud for not submitting to us. They could not even look for an Alpha but made that little peep squeak their Luna”“And you thought you could get it from Merida? Don’t you know how cunning she is. She know you want her dead since she was the only one who knew your secrets then”“That’s what I regret. I should have killed her immediately after she taught me to use it instead she put a curse on me”, I stressed out.“So what
Caspian’s POVAlpha Hector!I quickly put on clothed so the lines on my body would not be seen by the Alpha. I did not want him to question me about what I did behind his back. He was ruthless and even more terrible than the curse that I had acquired. I had to keep this a secret from Alpha Hector.After I put on my clothes. I use my dark magic to make the room neater. Even though using them was dangerous, at least it should save me this time around.I took another look at the body of the guard lying lifeless on the ground. I just left it there. There and then, the Alpha walked into my room and looked directly at me. He had not even notice anything wrong in the room.He spoke up first.“I can see that you are back. I sent you on a small task and you did not even dare report the outcome”, he sneered.“Welcome Alpha Hector”, I greeted in respect.“Save your greetings, I asked you to give me the report and outcome of the fight you went for with those werewolves from the Ragtag pack”, he s
Elsa’s POV.After the meeting, I headed straight to my room to do a more personal planning. I was the Luna and I would do anything to make sure those people are save because they are my people. As i headed for my room, one of the prison guards ran to me.“Luna, the man… I meant the spy stated he wanted to see you”, the guard said with a low voice.“Me?”, I pointed to myself.“Yes Luna”“Ok. you may go back to your post”He bowed in respect and quickly went to where he was coming from.I felt uncomfortable or more like my wolf felt uncomfortable.“I did not expect that the spy would want to see us so soon. Since he is from the other side, he will try to lie to you to gain his freedom”, my wolf said to me.I knew that could be true, “but I will try to win him over to our side”.“Ok but don’t be too comfortable with him”I quickly got to the prison and I entered his ward. Two chairs and a table had already been provided by the guards. I faced him directly since he was seated on the othe
CASPIANS POVMy body hurt much more than I had anticipated. I could feel the heat, the swell of dissemination filling my entire back as I lay on the bed. Raider couldn't help but look at me like a stranger who had just gotten his ass kicked. "A little help here?" I asked. I was expecting a more formal reply, which could give me the upper hand on him, but it seemed he wasn't acquainted with helping me. Did I do anything wrong?"Raider, come help me," I pleaded. "I'm definitely not touching that. I'm really sorry, but those marks are red hot; from the looks of it, I doubt you'd be able to walk again for a few days, he let out, staring at my back in disgust."Would it hurt to help me place a wet towel on them? I mean, the heat is killing me; I can barely manage to let out a breath."."You're breathing perfectly fine if you ask me," Raider concluded, grabbing a paper he had stolen from the humans. They called it a newspaper, yet it had zero information about us, those low lives."Someo
DAMIAN’S POVI never thought Elsa would think of me like that. I was only trying to protect her from wrecking havoc mistakenly; I was only trying to be the best advisor she could ever have. “There’s nothing to think about,” Dennis voice crawled along the walls, hitting me unexpectedly. “What are you doing here?” I questioned as his shadow lingered behind me. “Is it bad to check up on your fellow pack member? I mean, you’re brooding over the Luna for no reason.”“No reason, I’m her closest friend,” I uttered, feeling the urge to battle it out with him.“Her closest friend? From my perception of things, I’m thinking otherwise.” A smirk appeared on his face. He was proposing something, something I couldn’t grasp. “She’s the Luna of the pack and my close friend; what else do I have apart from that?” I played safe. “If you ask me, I’d propose a theory.” Dennis’s smirk has turned into a smile, giving him a mischievous aura. “As much as I want to hear it, I have far more things to acco
CASPIAN’S POV My eyes had become bloodshot red. Alpha Hector had once again made a perfect entrance at the worst of times. I could only wonder how he had taken the notion to arrive every time I had killed someone. Was this his power, or was this all this planned out? “What’s happening here, boys?” Hector’s thick and domineering voice bit through the solid lies I had held up in my mind. “It’s nothing, just cleaning up the room,” I concluded, trying to hide my fear. His eyes motioned skeptically around the room, looking for the perfect answer as he sniffed. I wanted to use black magic, but I needed a farther distance to ensure he doesn’t detect it. This was pretty bad. I had fallen prey to one of the most outrageous of men, and if I landed a slight whimper, I could be headed to the afterlife. “Something seems burned,” he halted looking at the bag. Raider was scared as hell; I could feel his burning desire to run and leave me behind. It was really intense. “What’s in the bag?” He l
Melinda's POV I gasped out, and began to pant heavily. I was sweating and my heart was thumping against my ribcage. My memory seemed blank and it felt as if I was floating on thin air. "Melinda?" I heard someone called me, but the voice seemed distant. "Melinda, can you hear me?" The voice called out to me again and shook me. I gasped out again and batted my lashes, getting my blurry view clear. I felt a hand in my cheek and I shivered in fright. "Melinda, wake up. We are safe now," the voice said again. I blinked and my gaze fell on Damien, who was seating beside me. Yes Damien, behind him was the Luna, Dennis was standing beside, and Camille.I remembered everything. I remembered their names and their faces. I was locked in the spiritual realm but I somehow survived. I faced the Marcus and I think I was able to use my dark magic a bit, although, the memory wasn't clear enough. Camille walked closer and helped me seat well. "Are you alright?" The Luna asked, staring at me wi
Melinda's POVDarkness was all that surrounded me. I couldn't see, I couldn't move, I couldn't talk. I was locked in a forever darkness, but I wanted out. I don't know how it happened or what brought me into the empty space, but I knew it was my soul floating in the air.My body was at the edge of giving up and I could feel it. No matter how much I tried to move or tried to look for an escape way, something or rater, someone, kept drawing me back. It was as if there was a force holding me back. Someone was involved and the only way I could get nab is to fight him and bring him down. That way, he won't be able to clock my magic flow. But I couldn't do anything to help myself out of my vegetative state. 'Help!' I kept screaming in my head.It took days, months until it got to a year and I was still locked in. The time in the spiritual realm is faster than the time in the real world. A year could mean a week in the real world. It was forever for me. With each passing day, I kept tr
Caspian's POV We walked into the courtyard with our heads need in shame. We couldn't bring ourselves to looking at the Alpha and the disappointment enveloping his face. "It's about time," he muttered. "Now, where is the Vela Harmento?"I went on my knees immediately and Raider did the same. "I am sorry Alpha, but we lost it," I answered, remembering the battle I had with Damien and I still lost anyway. "What do you mean by you lost it?" He questioned, probably staring daggers at us. "We weren't the only one in search of the vela Harmento. Damien and the other guy, Dennis, were also in search for it. We fought to get it but unfortunately, they won. They had the hell of the lake's monster." I answered even though I lied in some point. They never had the help of anyone. They beat us singlehandedly. Besides, I was the one who got the help but i failed anyway. That damn Marcus deceived me and failed. He almost made Damien kill my body and that would have been hard to come back to it.
Hector's pov"HOW DARE YOU ALL LET HER ESCAPE!" I growled out and the ground shook due to the force I asserted. The loud breaking sound of the newly acquired lion statue by my throne, echoed in the meeting hall. The guards were all on their knees, shivering in fright. They should. They should be scared 'cause they had caused me something important and had awaken the rage in me, ready to burn and consume everything on it path."How dare you let her slip away from your grasps? She is a weakling and you couldn't handle her?" I roared."My…my lord. She… I… I tried to…s-stop her. But she… was… wasn't weak," One of the guards covered in bandage for what I don't care for, shuttered with his head lowered, daring not to look at me. "She wasn't weak? Are you trying to say she fought against the chemical within a day and became strong?" I questioned, with amusement dancing in my voice. They all sounded stupid. The chemical was a strong one and she can't fight it off. Her getting strong sound
Damien's povI couldn't control myself. The way she stared at me and the emotions in her eyes, drew me to kiss her. I wanted to stop, but my emotions was stronger than the little warnings in my head. I kissed every part of her lips and surprisedly, she didn't push me away but kissed me back. I took my hand to her waist and she shuddered at my touch. I deepened the kiss and when we finally pulled away, we were both breathless. I looked at her and noticed the corners of her lips curled up into a warm smile.She wasn't angry or pissed off. "I care about you a lot, Elsa. I adore you. I want to be with you. I what to stay by your side as long as I can. I want to be yours," I confessed, letting out my feelings to her. She stared at me for a few seconds before she drew closer and rested her head on my chest."I adore you, I like you. I don't know the best words to use to tell you how I feel," she confessed and for a minute, it felt as if my heart stopped. I tightened my arm around her
Elsa's POV He shushed me and cover my mouth. He looked behind me, and watched the guards walk closer to the tree after hearing my voice. "Come out now, miss Luna of the crescent," The guard taunted, as he got closer.Suddenly, they heard the footsteps of a guard who had gone with the other group, distracting them momentarily. He rested his hands on his knees, panting heavily. "We've found her," he informed.The head of the guards drew his brows in confusion and looked towards the tree where he heard a female voice. "We captured her already," the informant added. The officer nodded and they all went ahead, going towards the place where they caught me, or rather, someone who looked like me. I let out a deep breath that I held in for long, in relieve of not getting caught. "Are you alright?" Damien asked, scrutinizing me from head to toe. "I should have come earlier. Sorry for wasting time and making you pass through all these."I stared at him for a few seconds, and relieve rushe
Elsa's POV I had no idea if it was night or day, which was a huge setback for me. I had to escape but my plan would only work at night. I took in a deep breath to inhale the substance Camille had given me, which I soaked a piece of material in and used it to cover my nose. No one suspected a thing. They all thought I was trying to cover my nose from the chemical they released again, and few of the guards laughed at me for trying to protect myself. They said covering my nose wouldn't stop me from getting weak. If only they knew…They all thought I was weak, as usual, but I was far from it. I had regained my strength and ready to attack. "Hey, I want to set out for a few minutes. I have been here all through the evening," one of the guards said to the other, who nodded.I watched him leave, while the other let out a deep breath and faced me. He stared at me for a few seconds before he clicked his tongue and shook his head. "You are a Luna. Such a disappointment to see you this weak
Damien's pov "We news to gey back as fast as we can. The days are running and Melinda might lose her life," Dennis reminded, walking ahead of me. Everything he said we're likes whispers, as I didn't pay attention to him. My mind was occupied with one person: Elsa.She's all alone. I had no idea if she was back or still locked up in Hector's clutch or worst still, if he killed her. I tightened my fist at the thought of it and clenched my jaw. I would never forgive myself if something bad happens to her. If only I didn't leave hesitatingly like that, I would have convinced he not to act rashly. She was probably worried and left on her own. I looked at Dennis with a frown plastered on my face. "You should have talked the Luna into not going on this mission," I said, and he stopped walking to face me. "You think I didn't? I did but she's stubborn. I already told you this," he answered, with his voice calm, but that wasn't enough. Elsa was out there in the hands of a dangerous man.
Elsa's POV I carefully tiptoed to the guard standing by the cell I was locked in. He held the key to the cell, tightly in his grip. I got closer and stretched my hand to carefully steal it, but he suddenly moved and faced me. "Nice try, my lady. Your powers won't even help you if you are to use it to get the key," he mocked and turned on the gas, which contained same substance as the powdery substance blew on us. I had no idea what it was, but I hated it. "No, please," I cried and coughed, slowly falling on my knees. Because I had an Alpha bloodline in me, it wasn't enough to kill me or put me to sleep easily. That was the reason why I was conscious even when Camille and the other werewolves fell to the floor. But there was one thing it does to me. It weakens me. Weaken me so much that I can't lift a finger. I fell to the floor and rested my back against the cell, feeling every strength in me slowly drawing out. I was like an empty shell just waiting to be blown away by the wind
