Chapter Twenty SevenAshton’s POV After coming back home with Anastasia , a girl I met in Paris who had a way of cheering me up, I decided to put my all into forgetting Marg for good. Haven been introduced to sex she too began to take care of my sexual needs as well all in the bid to trick my body and my mind to forget Marg.I did not care one bit for Marg’s reaction when Anny came to pick me up in my Lamborghini, she no longer holds such importance to me, I just wanted my wolf and I to be free of her, so when I got home that day I had a good time with her after doing my assignment.I saw Viklan drop her and then zoomed off , as a matter of fact I saw Claire come back alone fuming, without her sister or Viklan.I did not care as far as they left me and mine alone , just exactly what I told my mum when she was trying to explain that she might have just been overwhelmed with emotions and the fear of her father was also part of her decisions.I have chosen to not be the good guy, good g
Chapter Twenty EightThey did not know how serious the situation was until they spoke to Ashton and heard him describe everything in details to them, but what was confusing them is that no different species are supposed to be mated together but that was the case of this two people, if they were mates then they have to think of what to do and fast because they cannot allow Ashton to cut off the bond they share.Based on the fact that Marg was waiting at home for them they both went home and told her everything they found out without mincing words or hiding any facts, she was devastated and kept crying and saying she did not know , which they knew was the truth but at that point they needed to look for a quick solution.That night while Viklan and Claire were deliberating on what to do Marg had left the house and headed to the house opposite theirs and then climbed the window and found herself inside the room that belongs to Ashton.One would think Ashton should have sprang up when he
Ashton’s POVI got back from school that day after not seeing Claire or Marg in school, i just minded my business and drove back to the house when i saw a huge crowd gathered outside Marg’s compound, and then I saw someone drop from the third floor straight to the ground, my heart skipped a bit and i just knew that it was Marg , I ran through the crowd and got to where she was lying unconscious bleeding.“ No no no no, Baby no please do not leave me, I did not mean what I said last night I only wanted to give you a taste of your own medicine , please please “ At that point her father and Claire ran out , Anastasia just honked and motioned for us to bring her into the car.We did and she drove like the hounds of hell were after her, with Mr Malik following us in his SUV, we managed to get her to the emergency room and we were told that she was in coma.“ She is currently in coma, concussion from the fall, the surgery has fixed the broken bones but I have no idea how she is still pre
Viklan’s POV End of flashback Knowing the beginning of this tragedy is a burden to me and my family,?and knowing that Loki bears a huge grudge against our family is something to be worried because the man is known to be delusional and wierd, nobody amongst them has forgotten what he did to Billy jean simply because she rejected his advances.“ This is a serious matter,?we have not heard from Loki in years and he shows up just for the daughter of his dead ex who is suddenly missing and with no trace,I do not need to be told who was responsible for what happened, but issue is how to prove that he has a hand .something he nor his father would be able to deny” We all kept quiet because we know how slippery Loki is especially after Marg got married , it felt like his really creepy self decided to come out and play.I know that the sole reason for him pulling such move is because I surported Ashton against him, he had never for one day not known that I dislike his personality and the wa
Jace’s POV Hearing about her missing is supposed to make me sad but I kind of feel indifferent about it, because A ) I do not really know this lady and B)i don’t want her to be anything to me, mate or no but I cannot tell Nate this, him coming to look for me so we can go search for our mate means he believes i will atleast not be mean enough to leave her stranded if I could help which is common courtesy.Thanks to my fast thinking habit, I was able to persuade him to split up , saying that is the only way for us to reach more grounds and reaching more grounds means really searching for her and he is all game for that. So I took my truck and he drove his SUV, I drove around with my Beta for a while looking for her but to no avail until I also suggested to my Beta to go look for her in a different direction than I am , so we can search better atleast and after I dropped him off at the next junction leading to a different avenue I took off to the avenue in the left .Few minutes into th
Nate’s POV I rushed out with my brother to go look for that innocent girl but then my brother wisely adviced that we split up, that way we can cover more grounds which means getting more searching done, and I happily obliged to do that, so he took off to the ‘em west of Hawaii and I took off to the east of it.After driving round and round keeping my eyes peeled and ears open I was not seeing her anywhere, yes we already know who took her but we have no idea where he took her to, and based on the story I was told about this guy , we don’t want him to even as much as meet her talk more think up his evil agenda on how to hurt her.Deep down I was worried about what will happen if we are too late, what if they do to her what they have been doing to wolfs recently? Yes she is human but what if? Then it will seem like Jace was right about a lot of things, we will get to experience death ourselves because if she dies we are going to be miserable for long long time, except that we are not
Chapter Thirty ThreeNo POV ( General Narration)That day has been very hectic for everyone, the demon chief and his family waiting with abetting breaths just to hear what happened to Thier child and the the twins trying to save their mate away from the kidnapper and the sender Loki.Jeremy felt the most pain because he really loves his cousin and he would not wish for anything to happen to her for any reason and he did not mind talking to his enemy Jace just for her, well many would feel like he just did that but the reason he did that was because deep down he knew how the mating system worked and he knew that there’s really nothing much he can do, because if his cousin is mates with the Alpha it means he is now under the culture of the people to be in speaking terms atleast.So that is exactly why he chose to forget about his great dislike for the guy and reach out to him to give him details about what he knew. So when he got a call that she had been found by Nate and how his
Nate’s POV Finding out who my mate was , was indeed my biggest flex, I just could not stop grinning like an idiot because however which way I looked at it , I am a blessed man, lol we the Alpha Twin of the bloodmoon family of the Rain forest is blessed and I can not help but feel fly.After telling my house keeper to help wash her and keep her well and good, I rushed off to the dinning room to eat my supper, my dining table had six other occupants and members of my elite household pack , due to the fact that werewolf’s no matter what you have heard like to stay with each other, they craved community which is why we have wolf packs and not just wolfs all over the world and coming together once in a while just like vampires and Demons and every other species. We hate isolation and I love that about us.And as the tradition of the Pack they stopped their chatter immediately I came into view, another custom we have is absolute silence except ofcourse for the sound of the cutlery as it i
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
