Grace’s POVXander and Daisy entered the room and when his eyes landed on me, he rushed toward and took me in his warm embrace and apologized.I was startled by the sheer intensity of his voice, his voice was trembling, and I had never seen him like this.‘Xan,” I whispered and urged him to look at me.“You were hurt because I wasn’t there.” he said, guilt danced in his eyes and that broke my heart. My emotions choked my voice but before I could say anything Daisy interrupted.“It’s not your fault Xander, it’s mine. She entrusted me with the pack so it was my duty to look after everything. Protect the Alpha of the pack, but I failed. I failed the person who gave me the job because of my skills, I failed you, Grace.” Daisy said.Her every word was like a hammer to my heart. These two people were thinking that this was their fault. I couldn’t imagine if something would have happened to me, what they would have done.They would have driven themselves to death.Oh, goddess.“You guys are
I shared an amused smile with Xander. I knew he would break but I didn’t know that Reynolds would break like soggy bread.“Fine, if that’s what you want I won’t stop you, but remember this one lie and I will snap your neck right now and will make sure that you won’t die here among the Alphas. That’s your greatest fear, right, dealing with other wolves who you think are not of your status. So one misstep and I promise you I will send you to the place where you will pray for death every single second.” I snarled at him."Reynolds," I said sharply, my eyes locked onto his, "How about you start with Morax."His eyes widened in shock at the mention of the name, a flicker of recognition crossing his face.“Ho…how do… you know him?” he stammered, his eyes wide with surprise or fear, I wasn’t sure but I was hoping that fear should have been because of me.“If this would have been a tea time conversation, I would have indulged Grace to answer your question, but as you know this isn’t. This is
Xander growled once again as he grappled with the unknown force, he somehow was able to get free from the invisible restraints and he whirled as his furious eyes scanned the empty cell.Xander's furious roar echoed through the cell as his wolf surged forward, reacting to the unseen force that had attacked him. Lucas growled in anger and his eyes turned chilled gray as he fought the invisible force.The room had already turned frosty and the air around me was giving me chills, goosebumps erupted on my skin.The scene that I was witnessing was chaotic in every sense. Xander was fighting something that was not visible to us at all. But his heavy breathing and powerful punches were evident that something sinister was present in the cell.The cracking of bones echoed in the cell as Xander's relentless *ssault began to break through the invisible enemy’s resistance.With determination, Xander charged ahead, his intent clear, to confront and, if necessary, kill the enemy who was attacking us
Robert rushed inside the cell, his eyes were wide with panic and his breaths were heavy. He looked around and his eyes landed on Daisy, who was still lying still in Mason’s arms.Mason was not aware of Robert’s presence but when he saw him, he backed away understanding what a crucial situation it was.He placed a gentle hand on her forehead, his experienced touch *ssessing her condition. After a thorough examination, he spoke, his eyes were not wrinkled like before, as his worry left his body.This was a good sign."That’s a development,” he mused and when he looked at our confused face he added “She seems stable. Her inner powers aren't in conflict, and she's in no danger of losing control," Robert *ssured, his eyes focused on Daisy's unconscious form. The immediate threat to her well-being seemed to have p*ssed.As Robert tended to Daisy, his eyes landed on the charred remnants of the intruder and he smirked as he touched the ashes. His expression shifted from concern to a sense of
“Are you sure you want to do this?” I asked Daisy, as she packed her bags.“Yes, I am d*mn sure,” she answered.“You just woke up, the incident with the Reynolds happened just two days ago, you need to rest to renew your power.” I tried to explain my worry.It was true I was worried about Daisy. I didn’t want her to over exert herself, for the sake of my responsibility. But as far as I knew Daisy, she would just do that on her own. She always wanted to prove herself, and now that she knew what her powers could do, I was sure that she wasn’t going to stop until she had Morax in her hands.“Ha ha, like you have something to say for that. You yourself, went directly to meet Reynolds after waking up. So don’t tutor me.” Daisy retorted.“I was resting for a whole week, don’t say that when you didn’t even rest for twenty four hours,” I exclaimed.“You were unconscious, not sleeping, there is a difference. So please, Grace,” Daisy squinted her eyes at me and mock glared at me.“Are you tryin
Daisy’s POVI left Grace and others at the packhouse and moved along with Dad and other warriors to find out more about Morax’s lair and his magic. He was a dangerous demon and I was sure Dad wasn’t telling us everything about him, other than that he was dangerous.But also, I couldn’t imagine that he was my father’s brother. They might have some history between them and I couldn’t even imagine how he felt as I don't even have any siblings.I was drawn out of my thoughts when our car stumbled on a gravely path, we were on our way to the borders. Action was needed and this was the need of an hour.The environment of the car was filled with anticipation, and I could feel some nervous energy from Dad, too. I swiftly squeezed his hand and his eyes snapped at me, they were bloodshot red, a sign of him being a pure demon and not a hybrid like me.He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted when the car abruptly stopped.“Let’s move, we can’t move further in this car.” the warri
As we moved deeper into the forest we came across different stone structures, all of which followed the same pattern. Dad was right when he mentioned that Morax was a powerful being as we could feel the dark magic hovering over us, but not many knew how my body hummed whenever I came near even the smallest hint of magic. The hunger to devour that magic was blinding. But I had to keep this urge to devour the magic in control.We came to a stop in front of a haphazard pile of rocks, an anomaly amid the various stone circles that we witnessed earlier. It was clear that this site was relatively new, as there were no obvious signs of lichen or moss on the stones. The air around us seemed charged with an unsettling energy, and I could sense a darkness that lingered in the shadows. But not like the dead weight we were experiencing earlier, no this dark magic was charging, my feet rose up slightly, making goosebumps erupt on my whole body. I controlled my magic and I came back to the floor.I
I whirled around as the evil laughter echoed around us. The atmosphere turned evil in a second and the sinister voice kept coming closer to us.In an instant, everyone shifted into defense mode, the hellhounds barking incessantly as their instincts sensed the impending threat. The forest, once quiet, now crackled with an ominous energy.“Got you, traitor,” a voice echoed and laughed. I knew whose voice it was.Lizzie.But where was she? I couldn’t see her.Oh, Selene, Lizzie was dead.In a swirl of black smoke, Lizzie's spirit materialized, her evil presence twisting the very air around her. But she wasn’t the Lizzie I was accustomed to. She was something else entirely, her face was completely changed. The scars on her face and arms took on an eerie shape, a bizarre testament to the darkness that had consumed her, that had ruled her.Dad stepped forward, his magic swirling around him.“Leave or be ready to die here,” Dad snarled at her.“Dad, we can’t…” I tried to say but he raised hi
