The scene blurred and then I found myself on cold ground. I could hear whispers and hushed talking but I couldn’t understand that. Then slowly words fell on my ear and I could comprehend them.“She did that, oh goddess.” someone said, the voice was worried.“I told you, she is more powerful than you can even imagine.” the other replied and then my senses were engulfed in a deep buzz. I could hear nothing, feel nothing, the feeling of numbness took over my body.I opened my eyes, my whole body was aching and my emotions were everywhere as the memories of the girl’s life were fresh on her mind. Her emotions lingered in the back of my mind and then I noticed a warm hand in my hand, the hand was clutching mine desperately.“Grace…” I whispered and blinked furiously, trying to see her figure.Her figure came into view, she was there kneeling by my side, and her face was laced with concern.“Daisy,” she cried in relief.“What happened? Wha…why are you here?” I asked her in concern, I tried
“I think you should come with me,” Grace said to me after a moment.“What?” I asked with a frown.“You need to rest Daisy and it would be best if you would come with me and rest at the pack house instead of this makeshift camp,” she explained, concern etched on her face.“I can’t leave them behind. Without my power, they won’t be able to handle the souls. We were lucky that we only encountered the soul of a little girl who was easy to manipulate. What if we encountered a soul who would be so corrupted that nobody might be able to handle it? I can’t take that risk nor can you afford it.” I said.My voice was filled with determination. I knew that Grace was worried about my health and this going back home talk was coming from her heart, not from her mind.“I understand your concern, Daisy and I know whatever you are saying is indeed correct but what good could you do if you are not in your best health? You will only be a liability here not a strength. Just think about this,” Grace said.
“Daisy,” Mason looked at me with a stupefied expression.“Carry on, don’t want to disturb you from…whatever it is.” I looked at him and then the embarr*ssed Omega.She looked meekly around as if I had seen her stealing something.I huffed in frustration.Michael came into view as he came from the other side. I had seen him in the pack earlier too. He was a great soldier and very good-looking too. My eyes gleamed with ideas and a small smirk graced my face.“Don’t,” Grace warned me and I gave her an indifferent look.“I am not doing anything,” I said and sauntered toward Michael, his brow raised at my face. He knew what I was up to.“You are back,” He said.“Why, did you miss me,” I smiled at him and he chuckled as his eyes wandered at something behind me.He shook his head at me and lowered his head to whisper something in my ear.“I am not falling for the trick,” he said softly and a heavy growl came from behind.Without another look, I headed back to my room. I came here for a rest
“You don’t have to leave right now,” Mason mumbled as I ate my food and prepared to leave.“That’s the problem I have to," I replied nonchalantly.“Are you going to miss me?” he asked me, his gazes focused on mine.“I don’t know, are you?” I smirked at him and my mood soured as the same Omega entered the dining hall and served him food with a shy smile.“Last night you were way too brutal with me, I couldn’t sleep at all. My whole body is sore and aching.” I said sweetly and fluttered my eyelashes at him and he choked up on his food.“Wha..what?” he sputtered.“Don’t act like you don’t know anything,” my voice was soft and then I turned toward the omega whose face was flushed and she was looking like she was moments away from combusting from embarr*ssment.“He was a beast last night in bed,” I uttered softly.The Omega’s whole face turned red and there was something else on her face, maybe hurt. My heart clenched uncomfortable thinking about it, but I couldn’t erase the image of her s
“What are you saying Dad, I am not able to understand anything. Lizzie became a ghost and she is tied to Morax? What does this even mean?” I asked him.My emotions were running high and this revelation was no less than a shock to me. Lizzie was a powerful witch and now that she had turned into a ghost, there was no doubt that she would become one vengeful spirit.Her black magic would fuel her rage and this would only prove to go against us. We need to do something about her.“Yes, it seems that somehow when Lizzie and Emma fled the council guards, Morax caught her and killed her. This is the only explanation I can make out after my battle with Lizzie’s soul. She has become very powerful and if we didn’t do anything she would become more powerful.” Dad explained.“But why would Morax want to bind Lizzie’s soul with him? Lizzie was a powerful witch and Morax should have known that turning her into a ghost would make her more powerful and unhinged. It might be possible that she would at
“Yes, she was my mate. Why are you so surprised?” Dad asked with a chuckle, his face again had his glow, his red eyes gleamed like ruby and the moonlight was making him look like an ethereal being.“But you both were two different species. How can a witch find a mate in a demon? This is ridiculous.” I frowned at him, thinking that he was just playing with me.“Ahh, your logic. Yes, it’s true that one finds his or her mate in his or her species, but sometimes in one in a million, one can find the mate in a different world too. It’s nothing but a miracle.” he explained.“Duh, you are playing with me, right? You think it’s a joke.” I huffed in frustration.“No, I am not joking or trying to play you. It’s the truth. Your mate is nothing but a part of your soul. And the part of your soul can be born anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to be the same species.” he said as he patted my head, lovingly.“So, that…means that I can also have a mate outside the witch or demon community,” I whis
“Leave it, Ryan, she learned her lesson, she won’t tease you anymore.” Dad sighed as if he was back in father mode and trying to justify my mistakes.I whirled around and saw that he was the same werewolf warrior whom I almost fought when my power overtook my senses.His eyes gleamed, his wolf on the surface. It was clear that he heard me and was now here to make me realize that I had underestimated him, and maybe I did.“Yes, I don’t mean any harm. You can rest and chill.” I said lazily, aware of his anger toward me.“You make rash statements and that one day will give you trouble,” he replied, looking at me haughtily.“Indeed,” I smiled at him sweetly, clearly aware of the fact this would only make him more angry.“Kids these days think more from their hearts than minds. This anger is only useful in battle, not against your own people. Daisy, Ryan, break it off. We need to clear more areas, now that you are back. There is no more waiting. First thing in the morning we are moving. Ry
The low hum of voices filled the dimly lit meeting hall as I sat at the head of the long, oak table, flanked by Xander and the elders of the Pack. The air was thick with tension, the weight of impending danger looming over us like a storm cloud. We were in the midst of a crucial meeting about the surging rogue activity on our borders.My head was pounding from all the thoughts and amidst this chaos my satellite phone rang, alerting me, Xander caught my eye and I excused myself from the table and stepped into the shadows, my fingers tightening around the phone as I pressed it to my ear.“Grace,” Rober said from the other side, his voice tight with tension."Robert, what's going on?" I demanded, my tone edged with concern."Grace," his voice crackled through the line, urgency evident, "we've located Morax's lair. We need your help to find the entrance and attack them."My jaw clenched at the news. Morax, Lizzie’s master, whom we had been hunting for months, was finally within reach. I g
The room was filled with crying kids and the crying did not feel like a curse, it was indeed a blessing, a symphony to my ears.The nurse gave the kids to Xander and he took the bundle of joy with so much love and adoration, I couldn’t help but smile at him.All curses left my mind when I looked at him handling our kids with so much love, this man was my family. I love him.“Grace, look these are our kids,” he showed the faces of my babies to me and a laugh bubbled up my throat.I nodded. Xander leaned down and kissed me on my forehead.“You have given me the best gift, Grace, I am going to worship the land you are going to walk on. You are my goddess from now on.” Xanderr boasted and I laughed.And then suddenly the door opened abruptly.“How dare you all, keeping me out of the room, don’t you know who I am?” Daisy cursed like a sailor as she tried to enter the room while the guards were trying to keep her out.Xander rolled his eyes at her, clearly not ready for her drama.Daisy pun
Xander looked at me, his wolf growled but we needed to act fast. I with my she wolf troop marched toward the rogues, they were not expecting us and were startled when we attacked them, in just one move we had rogues covered from all three sides.From the west Kai was acting like a killing machine, eliminating rogues, from the north I was there and my troop with their agility easily defeated the rogues and Xander’s experience was making rogues run for their lives.But they had nowhere to go, with the help of Robert we had the area covered, anyone who dared to leave the battlefield would burn like crisp hips, so we all were sure of our victory.And after two days of continuous fight, we eliminated every rogue in the area. We were standing before the corpses of our foes and there was a calming peace in the area.A victorious wolf came from the west, my heart skipped a beat knowing that Kai won and I copied him and then waited for Xander, his howl came moments later and I leaped in the ai
Grace’s POV“I, Grace, The Alpha of Blood Moon Pack and Luna of Silver Moon Pack, stand here in front of the members of both packs, to announce that I am leaving the pack to fight alongside my mate. I am leaving not because I only care about my mate, it’s true that I do and I have full faith in him. But more than that, I believe that at this crucial moment, my forces need me. If in a time of crisis, I can’t be there on the battlefield helping my soldiers, then what kind of Alpha I would be? I want to lead my forces, supporting them so that I am there for them, so they are aware that before them the enemy has to deal with their Alpha. All my life my father looked down on me only because I am a woman, not worthy of the title of Pack’s Alpha. But time and again I have proved to him that my biology doesn’t define my worth. My power does, and my authority depends upon my skill. I have earned this title and today I will pay the price of this title. My mother, the Luna of the Blood Moon Pack
The whole day we were holed up in our room and when we went out it was already the next day.Grace and Xander were already present in the dining room.Xander took one look at his Beta and shook his head.“I don’t want to know,” he muttered under his breath, clearly not interested in what happened between us.I snorted, sat on the table, and started eating.And as the day progressed I realized that even though the dark Chapter called Morax had ended, it didn’t mean that all problems were solved. We were still in between the war.Like it was decided before, Xander was preparing to lead the troops to help Kai and Mason was already on his way to help his Alpha.We were standing at the front of the house, Grace held Xander’s hand, and I could see vulnerability in her eyes and I clutched Mason’s hand with desperation.“I am going to come back, don’t worry,” he *ssured me.“Indeed you have to. I will burn your soul if you won’t,” emotions swirled in my voice as I looked at him.He dipped his
“How are you feeling?” Mason asked me his eyes were fixated upon me, there was a fire burning in his eyes, there was a look of longing, a thirst.I had never seen him looking at me like this, except the time we met during our mission with Morax, there was the same intensity in his eyes that I am seeing right now.I always thought that Mason was this laid-back guy but now the possessiveness in his eyes was blinding, and my breath hitched when he moved toward me.“Great, just my bones are dancing with all the energy I had spent,” I smirked at me, as he prowled toward me like a hungry animal, which he was like a hungry wolf.“Why are you looking at me like this?” I questioned him.His eyes darkened as he stretched his hand and grazed my lips with his fingers, I trembled under his touch.His touch left me trembling on my bed.“How am I looking at you?” he asked me, his eyes fixated upon my lips.“Like you want to devour me, like you want to embrace me in a way where nobody could understan
I slumped down heavily on the floor as the door of my room burst open and werewolf warriors came inside.They searched the room through their eyes but found nothing, except the black mist. The residue of the confrontation between Morax and me.“We heard the noise,” The guard questioned as he looked at my slumped figure on the floor.I squeezed my eyes closed, my body feeling the weight of the fight that I had just fought.I just wanted to rest and sleep, maybe for a year.I opened my mouth to speak, to answer them, what really had transpired in the room. But apart from a hollow voice nothing came, my vision swam in front of my eyes. And the people I was seeing clearly were now just faceless figures, their images distorting.And with that without any prior warning, I just slumped down and fell asleep.I needed that rest, it was like someone just dragged into the dark abyss that was comforting and after weeks I was feeling safe, secure, and comfortable.After what felt like the most pea
Daisy’s POVMy head was pounding hard and even though I had said that I was ready to go with Xander on the field, I was lying to myself.I knew I couldn’t. Staying up on my feet was becoming a hard task and dots were dancing in front of my eyes.My mind was troubled with various questions. Mason being the most frequent thought. Whatever we were or whatever was going on between us was still a bone of contentment between us.I always knew that accepting the fact that I had two mates would be difficult for Mason. At the start, it was difficult for me because never in my wildest dream I thought of having two mates. But this came as a surprise to me.I just hope that Mason comes to terms with this because I couldn’t imagine my life without him. I needed my mates, needed my Mason and if he tried to break up with me, I would burn him into crisps.I internally snorted at the ridiculous thought, I could never do that.A chill ran down my spine when the re*ssuring voice never returned, somethin
“I want to come with you Xan. I don’t want to send you off to fight alone. You told me that we were in this together so why are you not understanding?” I pouted at him as he took me back to our room.“Do you think I want to leave you alone? And more so in your conditions. You are pregnant, Grace, I can’t take a risk about two important things in my life. One is my lovely mate and the other is my kids. So nope, you are not coming.” he said sternly and we entered the room.I whimpered with the thought that he was about to leave me.Xander sighed heavily, his eyes filled with a mixture of determination and concern as he looked at me. "Gracie, you know I would never willingly leave you alone, especially now. But the pack needs me, and I can't risk your safety or the safety of our unborn children."I crossed my arms, frustration bubbling within me. "Xan, I can fight too, I'm not helpless, and I won't let you face this danger alone. We can protect each other."He cupped my face gently, his
The conference room was dimly lit, the heavy atmosphere reflective of the urgency that gripped our pack. Maps sprawled across the large wooden table, marked with strategic points and the locations of recent skirmishes. Daisy sat to my left, her piercing gaze fixed on the maps as she tapped her fingers impatiently. On my right, Xander leaned forward, his eyes intense."We need to locate Morax before he am*sses more power. The hellhounds Robert sent are our best shot at finding the escaped witch," Xander declared, his voice resonating with authority.I nodded in agreement, my mind already racing through the possible scenarios. "We can't afford to underestimate Morax. If he's managed to gather more power, we'll be facing a formidable force. Daisy, was there anything that you found odd when Morax disappeared?Daisy shook her head.“Nothing, a portal opened up and he vanished, like he was never there. I tried to look around, but I was exhausted at that point and Lizzie’s attack made me muc
