The next day after resting we all were getting ready to move forward.Emma came into view, her complexion was much better than previously, and she looked refreshed as if she had rested after a long time.She noticed me looking at her, she hesitated for a moment but then moved toward me.“Good morning,” she whispered, her voice tinged with reluctance. As if she was afraid that I would attack her or I might just kill her at any moment.She might be correct for that.“How do you know it’s morning and not the other way around? There is no sun practically, so it’s hard to tell,” I smirked at her.“Yeah…” she muttered.“Whatever, Morning,” I grumbled under my breath.I sat down and started eating the food that the werewolf warriors had prepared for us, even though the stored food was basically tasteless, but it will keep us alive for the rest of the day.I looked at Emma and she was salivating, looking at the food.“If you want to eat, come and sit. There is no need to eye me like a hungry
After what I told her, Emma ate in silence. She didn’t try to defend herself, nor did she try to apologize. It was important for both of us to understand that there were some things that we couldn’t forget.Maybe I could but not Grace, the one whom Emma wronged the most was Grace. She even tried to sleep with Xander, even though it was not the real Xander but she slept with that demon thinking that he was the real man and not the demon. All her sins were hers alone.After finishing the food I started leaving, but then something struck me when I saw Mason, Michael, and Dad, deep in argument.“Come along with me,” I said to Emma and didn’t wait for her reply because I knew she was going to follow me.I moved toward the trio and they looked a little tensed up.“What’s up Dad, trouble in your little demon abode?” I smirked at him.He shook his head and chuckled, understanding that I was his daughter.“We need to move. Just ask Emma what she knows about and let’s make a move.” Dad said, an
“If you are only going to talk in the shadows, then I believe you are a coward.” Dad's voice echoed in the tunnel.“You believe, Dad. He has been hiding all along, making his minions do all his dirty work. Targeting the weak people. I think at this point we do know that he is a coward.” I pipped in, trying to infuriate him, but we were greeted by his maniac laugh.“Oh, dear niece. Your tongue is poison and I like that. You will be good in my army.” he said, the mirth in his voice sent chills down my spine.“You are delusional if you think I will be anywhere near your team, except when I want to kill your people.” I snorted at him.“Your daughter speaks a lot, Robert. Don’t you think she should be tamed down?” he said, I could feel the frustration in his voice and I knew that we were moments away from successfully making him furious.“No, I don’t. But she has something that can tame you,” Dad said.A wave of energy swirled inside the tunnel, making Emma flinch by the onslaught of the d
I looked at Emma’s closed eyes and her breaths were becoming ragged.“P..please. My child,” she begged her hands tightening on my hands, and something fiery twisted my gut.Her face was becoming pale, and in no time she would die, there was no second chance and it was true I would not be able to save her but she wanted her child to be saved, and I would be doing just that.Whatever she had done in this life was not the child’s fault. The child deserves to live and I would make sure the child does and if I failed in this, I will never be able to forgive myself.Even in her dying, she was desperate to protect her child, and to fulfill her dying wish was in my hands now.“I..I will do my best,” I hurried to *ssure her that I would help her.She shakingly nodded and uttered the words, “I..Tr..ust you,”I squeezed my eyes roughly and spoke, “Keep quiet now, I want you to have some power, if it’s possible I might be able to save you too.” Is said softly.And she smiled sadly as if she knew
My eyes went wide as I looked at Lizzie’s resurrected form. But then I realized what Emma had said about Lizzie.Her soul was bound with Morax and she couldn’t die if Morax was alive. All along I was directing my power in the wrong direction, but maybe I was fueled by anger and then I completely forgot about what Emma told me.“It looks like your little dead friend didn’t tell you. Nobody can kill me, My soul is immortal and killing is no mere mortal work, it will require divine intervention. What god do you pray to? Oh, yes, yes, Selene. Now pray to her and she might save you but she can’t. Do you want to know why?” Lizzie told me, her eyes wide and grin wide on her face.All her expressions were ruthless, cruel none matched the human persona. I couldn't believe that she once was a human but maybe when she was alive, her soul was never human.“Why?” I asked, deciding to entertain her, that would give me some time to align my thoughts and then attack her again. I might not be able to
Morax just disappeared and I looked at the empty space as if he would just pop back up in the space.My vision swirled in front of me, I couldn’t concentrate.“Dad…” I stammered, I swayed on my legs.But he was looking no good, sweat was dripping down from his forehead.A low painful groan left his mouth as he took up the scene that Morax had evacuated. His clenched fists were a sign of his frustration and more than he was angry. I could feel his emotions burning in his eyes.I was so busy looking at Dad and he was distracted looking at the empty place. We were shocked and that was an understatement. We were horrified not because we lost but because we knew that Morax would come back more stronger than this.“Dad,” I repeated, trying to bring his attention toward me. We both were so focused on Morax that we forgot that the battle was still ongoing.Unconscious Lizzie was back in her form, although a little weak she was still powerful. I was taken by surprise when she launched her atta
The pain in my head was pounding like a drum, each beat sending sharp stabs through my temples. I groaned, my eyes fluttering open to a blur of unfamiliar surroundings. The first thing that registered was the throbbing ache in my head, and the second was the desperate need to know where Emma's unborn child was."Where's the child?" I blurted out, my voice hoarse and raspy. Panic clawed at my chest as I struggled to sit up, my surroundings coming into focus. The world swayed, and I felt a firm hand on my shoulder, gently pushing me back down."Calm down, Daisy," a voice said, and I turned to see Mason, his eyes filled with concern. His hand lingered on my shoulder, the touch strangely comforting."The child, Emma's child," I insisted, my words tumbling out in urgency.Mason's eyes widened, surprise and something else flickering across his face. "Easy, Daisy. You need to rest. The child is safe with Michael, you don’t have to worry about that."I blinked, confusion mixing with the pain
Grace’s POV“Why are we standing here, Gracie,” Xander groaned.We were sitting in our room when I felt something in my heart and then I brought him here on the front porch of the pack house.I didn’t know but there was something deep in my heart that was tugging me in this direction.“I don’t know, Xan. But my instincts drew me here. Like something will happen here.” I said, my voice was soft but there was a hint of urgency in it.“You are running on hormones, my dear little mate.” he huffed, clearly frustrated from my tantrums. And as we were bantering we both saw a blinding light coming out from a portal in front of the porch.“See,” I screamed at him and his eyes were wide as if he couldn’t believe himself.“I told you, something was about to happen and you thought that it was my hormones talking. But look at that.” I said in excitement and this earned me an eyeroll.“Okay, fine.” he huffed.I looked at him with squinted eyes and hissed at him, “Ever since I became pregnant. You h
