EPILOGUE.ATHAN’s POV.The moment I open my eyes, I see Eed lying down beside me with a huge grin on my face, a gesture which immediately irritates me and I shove her off.“How dare you?” I growl in anger, “what the hell do you think you are doing?”“It is all over, Athan” she tells me and the grin on her face widens, “everything is over now”“What…” I angrily push her against the wall and grab her neck, “I think it is high time I teach you a lesson for all the things you have caused” I dig my claws deeper into her skin and blood spills out of it making her groan in pain.“Imogen….” the moment I hear her name, I suddenly let go of her neck as reality dawns on me.“What did you do to her?”“It is all over, Athan” she tells me again.Not bothering to wait for what she has to say again, I vanish from the room and immediately appear at Aqua blade, a sight that greets me sorry.Everywhere is in flames and a lot of bodies are on the ground. A few others are trying to put out the fire and fo
IMOGEN’s POV.Twelve years ago my parents were killed by the rogue Darkmoon pack during a clash war and six years old me was left alone to walk in the ruins of that life. It was at this moment when Master found me crying and weeping at my parent’s grave and he decided to take me under his wing.He kneels beside me and gently holds onto my hand, “Will you like to come with me?”“can I?” I ask amidst tears, “now I don’t have anywhere to go, everyone has left me and I am all alone”His lips curls into a gentle smile as he ruffles my hair, “Of course little one, you can come with me but you don’t have to cry anymore. You are not allowed to shed a single tear in the place where we are going, do you understand?”With tears still streaming down my eyes, I nodded and he held out his hand. “Let us go” Master brings me with him to Aqua blades, a small enclave of the Crescent Valley that also houses the Darkshadow pack which is one of the most powerful and ruthless wolf pack but even a
ATHAN’s POVAfter I am done with Imogen , I make my way out of the dungeon still angry. Imogen is one of my most trusted weapons and seeing her behave in such a way makes me want to kill her. Announcing I am her mate and even running away when I rejected her? She must think I am an easy going person just because we have never had that kind of encounter before. Well, she is in for a big shock. Imogen is a good weapon and losing her will definitely affect the blade but it is better than letting her get away with what she did, I am not that benevolent.My thoughts are interrupted when I feel someone run up to me and when I turn, I see silver. Silver is my best trained assassin and the number one upper rank blade. I have trained him to be ruthless and follow the guidelines I have set for Aqua blade religiously.“Master” he calls out to me and I nod while still walking away.“Tell me silver, why are you here?” I ask, “Aren’t you supposed to be training some of the new recruits?” I added
IMOGEN’s POVI manage to force my eyes open as my body begins to feel the amount of cold water that is being poured on me, I can feel the aches all over my body and it feels like life is being sucked out of me anytime I take a breath.This is like five days being in this dungeon and it is so tormenting and excruciating for me. I will prefer to hear the screams of the people I have killed over the years than stay in this dungeon where I am losing my mind everyday.“Stand up, you whore” one of the guards who master Athan nicknamed Eagle snicker as the other pushed a meal towards me with his eyes glaring daggers at me like he wanted me dead at that particular moment.They are both the lowest ranking guards of Aqua blades and that is why master put them in charge of the dungeon “I don’t even know why the master still agrees we should give her food when she will be executed soon” the other one went on venting, “the audacity of you to even announce that master Athan is your mate” As I
IMOGEN’s POV.I take a lot of time in preparation to see Master. Seeing that he personally wants me to dress up for him is no joke for me and I want to impress him.The dress master sent to me is coated in gold and silver linen which give it a very unique and beautiful look and feel, it must have cost a fortune. The maid helps me clean up real good and my hair is pulled back in a ponytail giving me a feminine look. This is the very first time I am ever dressing up like this and I love how I am looking.“Done” she announce and I stand up from the vanity table to have a look at my reflection in the mirror.The gown which is clinging to me perfectly made me realise I am not as plain as I think I am. My hourglass figure is peeking out of the gown beautifully and I am wondering if the Master is going to like it. Even the colour on my lips is so bright, I didn’t know I also look good in red lipstick. I look so different and I am loving it. I am sure master will be so pleased to see me.
IMOGEN’s POVI gently open my eyes and the rays of the sun shine directly on my face, giving me a notice that the day is going to be bright. My lips curl into a smile when I remember the passionate night I just spent with my master and my mate. I can feel his kisses still lingering on my lips and my body is still vibrating from the way his hands touched me.Giving myself to master is not something I regret and I wish it can happen again, the Passionate love making and with the way master handled me, I can’t help but fall deeply in love with him again.My thought is cut short when I realise I am the only one in the room. This is the room I shared with master the night before but he is no longer here and I can feel my heart break into a thousand pieces. Did he leave because he no longer needs me?I can’t help but scoff at myself, what am I thinking by the way? Master already rejected me and I am nothing but just a play thing for me. But even at this, I can’t help but feel a thousand
ATHAN’s POVAfter I tell her to leave, I can see the pain and sadness in her eyes but it didn't mean anything to me. Imogen has never meant anything to me rather than one of my most trusted people and weapons. Rejecting her is something I will do over and over again, I am not one she can call a mate. I already have it at the back of my mind and the moment she fails to do what I have told her, I will end her life even before she can beg for it again.As I pass through the courtyard, my lips curl into a smile when I see a dozen new recruits training. Creating another Imogen is not a hard task for me to accomplish, I can make as many as I want because the one I just left is already on a death roll.“Master” I hear someone call behind me and I turn to see silver running towards me, he has a different look on his face and I can already imagine what he is thinking.“Master” he calls again as he gets to me, “i have been looking for you”“Tell me” I order while lowering myself on one of the c
IMOGEN’s POVAfter I leave the master’s chambers, I make my way to my room. I am guessing this is the end of the bond I think I share with the master, maybe fate is against me. Doing what master has asked me to do is the main priority right now but how can my mind be at peace? Another woman has come to take my place even before I can even stake my claim on the master, my heart is heartbroken beyond repair.My train of thought is interrupted when a hand prod me from behind and I turn to see Anna and some of the girls. The mocking look on their faces made me almost want to beat them to a pulp but master has forbidden me from doing anything in Aqua blade, I am more like a walking shadow in the dark.“I see the shame and pain in your eyes, Imogen” Anna mocks, “so much for being the master’s favourite”“Are you done?” I inquire, “for the fact that I no longer have the power to make you pay for what you just said doesn’t mean I can no report you to master Anna” I warn, “don’t test my patie
