Chapter Three
Jace’s POV
I stood outside the pack house building, that we don’t usually come to anymore except for when we have some really important issues to discuss or deal with, which is exactly what was going to happen today , Jac my wolf growled angrily and i clamped down on him trying to get him to control himself. I know the amount of pain we are both going through and I was angry as well but the meeting had to hold.
Walking inside the empty pack house since the other wolves has not yet arrived I had the whole house to myself , and looking at the fire place in the lounge room, I remembered how father and mother would lie there together totally enamored with each other. Where everyone else just fades away except from them.
But that place also reminds me of how father looked very pitiful after mothers death and he too was dying , I remember him crying there like a baby, and it made me hate the concept of love because it made you weak and the moon goddess mating bond kills you period.
I made up my mind never to love any woman or get a mate, and I chose a marriage of convenience when I get to be with a woman that I can tolerate , that way no matter what happens I will be strong enough and not die and leave my children to fend for themselves.
I see how everyone turns into idiots when they fall in love and mostly how they all go raving mad when they find their mate but that will never happen to me, because even if I meet my mate I am definitely rejecting her and continuing with my wife no matter what.
I stepped into the study that once belonged to my father, hearing that another Alpha will soon die after a demon killed his Luna nearly made me go mad today with rage, and I know how ridiculous this sounds but we have to stop this mating bullshit from continuing if not we will be totally extinct in a short while.
I know my twin brother Nate would stand against it as well as our omega Jordan who just found his mate but a decision has to be made and it has to be made fast before we all loose our minds or in this case die.
I was still lost in thought when I felt my brother step into the study, one of the things that scares me daily is loosing him because of some weak woman who would not even be able to fend for herself, because even though I don’t say it, he is all I have remaining.
“ I see you came back in here , I am impressed Jace , you have not stepped foot in here for 10years , I am the only one who comes here” I turned and faced him, scanning his body to see that he was alright before sitting on dad’s chair .
“ choosing to come here has its own significance Nate, I need all of you to see exactly what I have been talking about for ten years now, am tired of people dying because of love or some mating bond, it has to stop”
He shook his head and pinched his nose before looking me in the eye “ They are not dying because of love or the mating bond, we have werewolf’s who has been mates and in love for over 50years, they are still very much alive and kicking “
He sighed and continued “ Love is not the killer , neither is the mating bond, demons are and you need to realize this bro, I know we lost our parents because of this but it was not their fault or the moon goddess or love”
I just shook my head, my brother was a romantic and it was ok but that does not mean that I would not go on with my plans today , it is definitely going to start today , so I just nodded but the way he looked at me he knew I had a plan for today, maybe it’s the twin thing but we are somehow able to tell what the other is thinking about.
“What are you planning Jace, don’t be stupid” he said looking at me like I have lost my mind, I just gaffawed .
“ I am going to do what we should have done a long time ago , and you will do well not to stand in my way” I stood up and walked to the door intending to walk out.
“ I found my mate Jace ; and based on our bond you will find yours any moment from now”
Later on in the meeting I could not put my thought’s together properly, we deliberated on making the pack houses safer and to make sure the women do not go out alone no matter what, then we deligated some wolf warriors with the duty of guarding the pack houses and escorting the ladies when they step out, and to also host a meeting with the Deman chief Viklan to know what he is doing about his rogue Demons.
We concluded that if the right measures were not taken, we would appear before the magic council and have a verdict, but all through that meeting i was not there, I kept remembering my conversation with Nate.
“ What do you mean by you found your mate, when , who is she?” I immediately turned from the door and faced him, he just shrugged and then looked away from me.
“ yea I found her today , Ace confirmed it, but I don’t know who she is, neither does Ace know who her wolf is”
“ why did you not follow her atleast, knowing how eager you are to have a lover and a mate , you are very slow bro” I spoke up angrily because knowing who she is would have been easier to deal with.
Then I heard him laugh, but it was painful .
“ She ran away from me immediately she saw my eyes”
“Wait what?”
Chapter FourGemini’s POV It has been two weeks since I moved to Hawaii, and so far things has been good but I have not been able to shake off , those eyes ; seeing them at the airport had really distabilized me because I did not expect to see those eyes soon enough, because if am seeing those eyes does that mean I am those things that I saw in the dream?“ Hey couz , I was hoping you will come with me to the bistro today to help out” Jeremy said from the door of my room while peeking inside.“Ok then give me a minute to dress up “ he nods and and retreats , I quickly throw on a tank top and then peeled off my pj and changed into shorts, I went to the mirror and did my hair up into a loose updo with some hair framing my face, after touching up my lips with lip gloss, I put on my brown contacts before stepping out of my room to the living room.I met Jeremy outside sitting in his little convertible waiting for me, looking quite good , I jumped in and he took off driving towards the bi
Chapter FiveNate’s POV I watched her go back inside with the demon boy tailing her extremely angry at her, but I could not believe what was going on, if she is related to the son of the Demon Elder then how is she my mate? That means she is not werewolf right? Or just human too.I sat there for all of 2 minutes and I walked out of the bistro, we had maintained a level of peace between us anytime we stepped into the bistro for this past years but how am I having a mate who is related to the demon clan?I quickly drove off to our condo In town, but I dialed the number of Jordan, immediately he picked.“ Hello Alpha” I heard his calm voice reply .“ Jordan there is a girl living in the Demon chief’s house, find out who she is asap” I dropped the call totally pissed, sick and tired of the whole thing.I pressed on the pedal and accelerated totally going crazy, even ace is in shock totally silent which never really happens until there is a situation beyond our understanding , who the h
Jace’s POVThere was something off about my brother and suddenly asking the Demon chief that kind of question, it did not add up, but that was actually the least of my problems, my problem is if what Nate said was right that he found his mate, that means I would find mine soon , just that the issue is I don’t want any part of that, I don’t want a mate, I already found myself a wife and I am not going to let this destroy me having total control of my life.I headed to my house in my Porsche, I really really loved living the good life, and nothing more, I chuckled slightly knowing exactly what my brother would say if he sees this car, I don’t even know how we are identical twins, we are too different from each other.He is conservative and I believe , if you gat it , you flunt it, I was the most eligible bachelor here in Hawaii for a reason because I bring in the fun and the party, I might not laugh or smile much, but these girls are not really interested in my smiles but money and my j
Gemini’s POV I woke up feeling uneasy and wierd, events of last night kept playing in my head, i quickly got up from the bed to make use of the restroom . When I head a quiet knock on my door but due to the urgency of the bathroom run, I just ignored it to finish with my bathroom business.While relieving myself I could still hear the quiet knocks which I knew does not belong to Jeremy, because he does not possess any iota of smoothness in him, after the incidence at the bistro and how he behaved I have not set eyes in him, something wierd has been on, first it was Jeremy behaving and sounding like something from a horror movie and then the issue of last night, I listened quietly but could not hear the knocks again and then I came out after washing my face and my mouth.I was still skeptical about going out my door for fear of Jeremy doing whatever that was he did again, and how will i handle what happened yesterday, the yearning , the strange urge to push right into the house,
Nate’s POVAfter I left my brother’s place the night before I was feeling so excited at what was happening but just a little bit worried for whomsoever this mate was, because deep down I knew her life would not be easy but I’d be damned if I don’t help her get him to co-operate and be with her.Driving home I just kept thinking of my own mate and how she lived with the demon chief family, I cannot seem to get my head to believe that’s a coincidence but so far all the digging I have used my beta to do came out futile and empty. Who is she???And why can’t my wolf feel her wolf? What is different about her?These were questions that were nagging at me and try as I may I still have no answers to these questions and it’s driving me crazy, that night, I just managed to fall asleep still buried in thoughts about the whole situation.And somehow despite my heart still seeing something wrong my eyes has refused to see, I keep thinking about her and my wolf lkeeps longing for her day and nig
Jace’s POV Last night was a disaster , when I mean disaster I mean in every sense of the word, because somehow I could not get my instrument to work , and all those ladies that was organized for me by my Beta tried all they could and eventually left in anger.Nothing is more humiliating than that, I am an Alpha for crying out loud , I am a 10 , so why is this happening to me? Now I know the girls would be telling everyone how I could not get it up and finally I will be turned into a laughing stock .Still fuming from the embarrassment of last night I decided to go camping at my favorite place by the brook, that place always has a way of making me forget all my pains and just enjoy the beautiful view , although it was a tad late already say 12noon , I still wanted to go out there .Although deep down I knew I was trying to avoid my brother coming over here to insinuate that it was the handwork of the moon goddess, that is not to say that I did not think of it but I rather not dwell o
Gemini’s POV Oh my goodness, this is gorgeousness overload, was the only thoughts running through my head when the other hunk appeared out of nowhere looking so dark and delicious, I was first struck by how identical they were but also somehow desimilar, like the brooding one has blond curly hair that he wears messy as if his hands has run through it multiple times, while Nate had brown hair which he styled neatly and put together.My my, now I understood why people hard such racy things to say about him, he was just hot in a pull your panties down now kinda way while Nate was hot in a let’s take it slow kinda way.Today had turned out to be extremely interesting, from me accidentally finding this place, to meeting Nate and then Jace? Seems something was going on , but what surprised me was the intense pull I was feeling from both of them standing there talking.I felt my pulse rise and my heart beating so fast and loud, and then intense arousal, something I have never witnessed bef
All POV JeremyI got back from the restaurant totally tired but mad at my cousin who was supposed to come join me like four hours ago, but never showed up , in that I was left to handle everything by myself and am totally exhausted but I still want to give her a piece of my mind.So I headed straight to her room knowing that she will be sitting on her bed or the ottoman doing absolutely nothing, barged into her room without knocking fingers raised ready to yell down the whole room but I met with an empty room, but her laptop was on the bed and it was still open, so I walked to it and then looked at the screen and what I saw there , some reply to an Enquiries from paranormal girl, my blood went cold because I knew what that meant.I ran out of the room straight to my car to pick my phone which I left in the car due to anger, to call my parents. We have been afraid that this might happen, that she probably took on her father’s genes and became a werewolf instead of a demon, but since s
Gemini stood on the edge of MoonCreek, staring at the horizon where the sun was rising, the memories of the struggle still raw. In sharp contrast to the ashes and debris all around her, the blazing hues adorned the sky. Even though Loki had been vanquished, it was a bittersweet victory. The real reconstruction, psychologically and physically, was only getting started.Gemini studied the terrain, well aware of the difficulties that awaited. Every building and nook in the town that had once been a hive of activity bore the marks of battle. However, she sensed a glimmer of optimism at this precise moment when the first light of day broke through the shadows. It was time to think about MoonCreek in a new light.A voice yelled out to her, yanking her from her reverie, "Gemini!" It was Nate and Jace , their dust-caked yet determined visage shining through. They moved toward her, their presence providing stability in the midst of the mayhem. "We are beginning to gather materials for the reco
MoonCreek saw the break of morning, illuminating the ruins of the once-vibrant town with gentle light. There was a faint glow of new beginnings amid the ruins, albeit they were still blazing in some places. Gemini stood amidst the rubble, her heart heavy but hopeful at the same time as the sun rose higher in the sky.There was a strong smell of earth and ash in the air, yet underneath there was also the new taste of possibility. Driven by a common goal to rebuild their home, survivors were already congregating. They painstakingly cleared debris and salvaged all they could, despite the looming shadow of loss above them. Every crumbling block and broken window was a reminder of their hardship, but also of their tenacity.Together with her allies, Gemini helped raise a fallen beam that had been the town square's support. As they pulled it up, she caught sight of familiar faces—some haggard with tiredness, others brightened by determination. They had an unwritten agreement that brought th
In stark contrast to the loud roar of combat that had filled the skies just hours before, the air in MoonCreek was thick with the heavy weight of calm. With its towering trees and rich sceneries, the once-vibrant town was now reduced to rubble. The streets, which had once been alive, were littered with the bodies of the dead and the wreckage of the conflict, as smoke billowed from burnt homes. It served as a sobering reminder of what they had given up.At the center of it all, Gemini stood, her chest constricted as she surveyed the devastation. Her mind was reeling from all that had transpired, and her body ached from weariness. Now that Loki was vanquished, his horror had come to an end, but the victory was not satisfying. She could see their lost loved ones' faces everywhere she looked. Battle had destroyed their house, taking with it warriors, friends, and defenseless bystanders.The survivors' robotic and eerie gaits as they made their way through the rubble. While some attended t
The battlefield fell silent, eerie and heavy as Loki's body collapsed to the ground. After the final strike, the once-deafening noise of magic and steel seemed muted and distant, as if the world itself was holding its breath. Standing over Loki's lifeless body, Gemini's chest heaved as her thoughts continued to digest the realization that Loki had lost. At last, the darkness that had threatened to devour MoonCreek and everything she cared about was gone.She had long anticipated this victory, but it did not seem victorious. The weight of the conflict had hollowed it out. The aftermath of their battle was all over the ground around her: the bodies of allies and fallen companions who had battled with her lay lifeless in the earth. Every setback was a sharp reminder to Gemini that there were always going to be costs associated with success.She collapsed to her knees, sadness and tiredness taking hold of her. Her thoughts quickly returned to the pivotal moments of the conflict—the intens
But it was not over, Loki stood up again ,There was raw, crackling energy between Gemini and Loki as their duel approached a fever pitch. The sheer ferocity of their conflict forced others in close proximity to flee as each collision of steel and magic shook the entire battlefield. Yet Gemini could not afford to make a mistake. She had been preparing for this moment her entire life; it was the result of every struggle that had made her the warrior she was today.With his sly smile and ruthless gaze, Loki exuded confidence. His blows were brutal, designed to inflict psychological as well as physical harm by feeding Gemini's uncertainties and anxieties. He struck with shadow magic's dark tendrils, each one bearing the weight of the warped might he had developed through the years. As he talked, his tone was laced with hatred."Is this all you’ve got, Gemini?" A column of dark fire spiraled toward her as he mockingly conjured it up. "To fail now after coming this far . Disgusting."Howeve
A tight silence descended across the battlefield as Gemini moved forward, her heart thumping fiercely inside her chest. Even before she saw Loki, she could feel his presence; the atmosphere was eerie and thick with evil power. It appeared as though the planet itself was holding its breath for what was about to happen, as the forces that had been engaged in combat just seconds before receded into the distance.And lo and behold, Loki was there. He was positioned at the edge of the battleground, his form obscured by shadows that appeared to throb and squirm with hatred. His eyes latched on Gemini, glinting with a lethal mixture of delight and cruelty. Like her, he had been waiting for this moment as well.Loki snarled, his voice low and nasty, "It seems the prodigy finally steps into the light." "I’ve been waiting for you, Gemini."Gemini inhaled deeply and clenched her sword grip. It was finally here: the encounter she had been waiting for, the turning point that would determine not ju
The battleground was a flurry of activity, with magic crackling through the atmosphere and distant sounds of steel clashing. As the troops of MoonCreek bravely fought to preserve their land, smoke and ash obscured the horizon. Gemini remained unwavering in the middle of the combat, her eyes searching the battlefield for any indication that her forces were failing, even in the face of the terrible treachery. She knew the men were tired and the line was getting thinner, but quitting up was not an option.They were all shaken by the betrayal. Their spirits were severely damaged by Kayla's abrupt change of heart, which was caused by Loki's influence. Formerly allied warriors now regarded one another with suspicion, leery of potential foes lurking within their own ranks. Fear was a contagious emotion that Gemini could sense seeping into her warriors' hearts.They were tormented not just by their fear of Loki's strength but also by the knowledge that anyone could betray them, even people th
The fragrance of magic and blood filled the air, and the frenzy of war consumed everyone. Just barely, Gemini's men were maintaining their ground. It appeared as though Loki's army would never stop as dark creatures crashed into their ranks. As the conflict dragged on, the tension was evident as waves of adversaries responded to every attack from her teammates.But something felt off in the middle of the chaos. Gemini felt something creep up her spine, something she wasn't sure what it was at first. It resembled a storm that was approaching, barely visible but definitely close. Her instincts told her that danger was approaching faster than she thought, not from Loki's army but from within herself. She had learned to trust her gut.“Gemini!”She was startled to her right by a voice calling out. One of her closest confidants, Kayla, was there. Her arm shaking from the sword, her face pale beneath her helmet. On the eastern flank, you are needed. They're succeeding!Gemini nodded, but the
Reflecting the mayhem below, the sky above MoonCreek was a seething mass of dark clouds. With the sounds of clashing steel and the roar of magic all around her, Gemini stood at the center of the battlefield, her senses sharpened. It was official—the war was on, and there was no going back.Her warriors were dispersed over the battlefield, engaging Loki's ruthless army of gloomy monsters in small-group combat. Magic crackled in the air, bursts of energy and light illuminating the battlefield as spells met. With their power already strained, her friends battled to hold their lines while orders were shouted. The black army threatened to overpower them with their sheer numbers as they poured in all directions.Heart pounding, Gemini forced herself to stay focused. They couldn't afford any mistakes because the fight was as much about strategy as it was about strength. That was something she had to learn the hard way during her arduous training. Every choice was important, and every action
