#Chapter47Training-03I knew it seemed cruel. But she needed to understand this world was way crueller than I was and unforgiving to people like us, so she needed to stop being a baby and grow the fuck up."WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME I COULD HAVE DIED!" She yelled."But you didn't, did you?" I asked.I was expecting a shouted answer. Instead, I saw Cat visibly shaking, and her eyes kept changing colour from blue to blood red. I could tell her demon was about to make an appearance, so I readied myself for the onslaught that was about to come. However, nothing could prepare me for what happened next since she moved so fast.When she shifted, a white-haired creature stood before me with an aura so thick, so dense, so powerful it was slightly suffocating. She stomped her feet, and I felt the ground tremble before rising up and holding me in its clutch. Before I could even react, she stretched her hand up to the sky before bringi
#Chapter48Assurance-01ANDREAS POVKnock, knock, knock!"Come in."I opened the heavy wooden doors entering the office. He looked up when I came in, and a small smile graced his face."Andreas, right on time I was just about to call you.""Good day, your highness," I said with a bow."Have a seat," he motioned to the chair in front of his desk."So, status report. Have your contacts gotten back to you with info about those abominations?""Actually yes, I received two reports last night.""It seems they are no longer hiding in the shadows anymore, one by one they're starting to gather and they found someway to create others like them,""Shit!, this is what I didn't want to happen I knew I shouldn't have listened to Lena and just wipe them out from the beginning.""I'm curious as to why the moon goddess asked you not to kill them, they were created by that dark sorcerer so why spare a race born from evil?""She's all into that preserving of li
#Chapter49Assurance-02Going downstairs to start my search, luck was on my side since they were all in the den with their mates watching a movie. I saw Catalaya was with them as well."Hey guys," I made my presence known."Hey bro, where you been all day?" Eric asked."I was meeting with the king,""Hey Dre, you staying to watch the movie with us?" Cat asked."Dre!!????" All six of my siblings asked."Yeah, its short for Andreas. It's what I've been calling him since we started training. He was against it at first so we made a bet which I won so now I get to call him Dre." she told them with a triumphant smile like the one she had that day she won our bet. I let her win though."Keep telling yourself that," Orias said."Do you ever have anything positive to say to me?""Nope," he sassed before disappearing to the back of my mind."Wait, he let you call him that?" Brooke asked."Yeah, why do you sound so surprised?""Uhh nothing," she replied, gi
#Chapter50Decision-01CATALAYA'S POV"Hey sweetie," I heard as my room door opened.I looked up to see dad in the doorway."Hey dad," I said, putting away the clothes I'd been folding."Breakfast is ready," he told me."Just gimme a sec," was replied, kicking the closet door close before following him downstairs."There's also something I wanted to discuss with you and the others about at breakfast," he said as we walked down the stairs, which we had opted for instead of the elevator."Ok," I nodded as we walked."How's your day so far," he asked."It's good. I'm a bit sore though from my training with Dre this morning." "Dre?" He asked, puzzled."Andreas," I said."Oh," he said with a surprised look on his face and a small smirk on his lips."Why's everyone so surprised that I'm calling him that?" I asked.It's been like this for a few days now. Whenever I called Andreas by the name I gave him, everyone had weird reactions and kept givin
#Chapter51Decision-02I sat there for a few moments, thinking about what I should do. On the one hand, it'll actually be good to go back and no, not to boast, but it'll be easier if I was somewhere I was used to because starting over isn't easy. However, on the flip side, I'd have to deal with everyone who bullied me, I'd have to face my fears, and I'm not sure if I want to do that as yet. But even so, a part of me (Legacy mainly) wants to go back and prove to everyone who ever mistreated me that I'm not the weak, pathetic girl I used to be. "Sweetheart listen, I'm not saying this because obviously I'm overprotective and I worry but because I don't want you to feel like you have to face your fears now because you don't, you can take your time, this is a battle that as much as I hate it, you have to fight it on your own and I know that not because you found where you belong means your past automatically goes away. I know what you went through made its mark on your life so I hop
#Chapter52Decision-03Dre took deep, calming breaths as the veins around his eyes retracted, and his eye colour went back to its normal brown, almost black colour. "Ok, what the hell just happened," I asked, still a bit shaken by what just took place.I've seen Dre grumpy pissed moody, annoyed and most times angry; however, I've never seen him this furious before."Its cool man, sorry I flipped," Dre told Jace."Uhm, excuse me," he said, getting up from his chair and then teleporting from the dining room table before I could get a word out."I'm confused," Freya said."Its a long story one that Andreas would have to tell," Jace said to her, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear.Awww, they looked so cute.Clearing his throat, dad said, "That's all I needed to talk to you about. Sam, I'd like a word with you in my office." he then got up from the table, kissed my forehead, and walked out."Uhm Cat?" Brooke said with a worried look."Yeah?" "Can
#Chapter53Memory Lane-01ANDREAS POVThe ledge Cat stood on cracked in two, and suddenly she was falling into the flaming river Styx. When I saw her fall, my body moved on its own. I knew she could have saved herself, but I did not want to take any chance on it, so I swooped down instantly, catching her in my arms. She wasn't screaming like the first time I dropped her from the skies, nor was she shaking in fear or panic. Heck, she hadn't even released her wings which puzzled me a bit.Going back up to the floating ledge where my throne sat, I gently placed her on the chair before inspecting her to see if she had been hurt, only to find her grinning like a Cheshire cat. I stood looking at her like she had lost her damned mind."Why the hell are you smiling? You almost died." I all but yelled."Pffft as if," she scoffed smugly."First off, are you forgetting everything you taught me? Even if I'd fallen into the flames, I'd still be fine since I place a protective bar
#Chapter54Memory Lane-02Sad and heartbroken, the dragon king isolated himself from his kind as he mourned his loss. A few years later, Aphrodite returned to earth, and this time she met a shifter. However, this particular shifter was not like the others; instead of shifting into strong beasts such as tigers, lions and wolves, he could only shift into one strong beast, which was a panther. All his other forms were more docile animals, such as bunnies and smaller cats.Because of his peaceful nature, the goddess took a liking to the shifter and, in turn, returned to visit him frequently, and they eventually fell in love. However, due to the obvious that this creature had no human skin presented an obstacle to them being together, and so Aphrodite went to visit another goddess who was not affiliated with Olympus, for she was way more powerful than any Olympian. You may know her as the moon goddess.When Aphrodite visited her, she asked the moon goddess if she could grant the o
