Alex stormed into his room and slammed the door shut. The rage boiling inside him was enough to melt down metal. He was angry at his father for keeping such a secret from him for years. How could he have been so selfish? And to think that his own father had awoken a demon just to gain power and prestige.As he paced back and forth in his room, he felt a strange sensation coursing through his veins. It was a feeling of power, of strength, that he had never experienced before. Suddenly, he felt like he was not alone in his body anymore. It was like something else was sharing his mind and body with him.Alex's eyes widened in terror as he realized what was happening. The demon inside him was awakening. He could feel its presence growing stronger with every passing second, and he knew that he had to do something before it was too late.He tried suppressing his emotions but he couldn't, he tried taking his mind of things but nothing was working, he could feel it he was losing himself and h
Mia, who had arranged her bags and prepared to leave the Diamond Shadow pack back to the Crystal Moon pack, strode down the staircase and saw her father sitting and reading a book She said her goodbyes and left the house.Feeling light, she made her way back to the Crystal Moon pack. Her heart was heavy, and her shoulders sagged because she was going back home empty-handed. She wasn't able to get any useful information to help keep the demon from being awakened.Immediately, she got to the Crystal Moon pack, and her stomach tied itself into knots, leaving her with an uneasy feeling. The palace seemed to be out of place because guards could be seen running around with worry looks on their faces. Mia knitted her brows into a frown and stopped a guard who was heading to the pack's hospital."What's happening? Why is every guard running around?" Mia asked, glancing around. "The spy is convulsing because she drank poison," the guard replied.Mia was confused, but before she could ask for
The moment the guard left, she turned on her heels and headed back to Alex' room. Alex was her husband, and she had every right to stay and ask questions on what was wrong with him.She pressed her lips together into a firm line of determination. "And I would not leave until I get a sensible explanation from the both of them," she muttered to herself, pulling up short in front of his door. Her stomach clenched, and her heart picked up its pace. Though she was having a funny feeling about her idea, she wasn't going to give in to fear.She took in a deep breath and pushed the door open, inviting herself into his room.Hendrix gazed over his shoulder, and lines of disapproval creased his forehead as he narrowed his eyes at her. "This is none of your concern," Hendrix growled, standing up and facing her with a fierce expression. "Leave us now."Mia shook her head, refusing to back down. "You can not dismiss me like that. I am not leaving until I know what is going on with Alex," she sa
The fresh scent of a familiar perfume caught his attention despite the state he was in."Alex." He heard a soft voice call out to him, and he turned back to look at the petite body of the woman who was standing before him. She was beautiful, and that was a fact that even the demon couldn't deny. The thoughts of her alluring scent and beauty were soon followed by darker thoughts. Kill her!Hit her!Choke her! Those were all the thoughts rambling in his head."Alex," her faint feathery voice filled the room. Her hands were shaky as she took her hands up to touch him.His aura blazed as he looked at the small woman in front of him, holding her hands up to reach out to him.A tiny part of him was hesitant to move towards her. She looked so pure and innocent, but his demon didn't think of her as that. "She is going to touch you. Kill her, make her suffer, " a large part of him commanded.The little woman in front of him seemed to be afraid of him but kept on approaching."Alex, it is m
"I-I," she stuttered before she fell unconscious in his arms.""Mia!" Alex exclaimed, shaking her body to get her to wake up.The strangled marks on her neck were getting deeper due to the demon's power, and if caution wasn't taken, she could die.Alex swallowed hard."You will be fine, Mia. You will be fine, I will protect you," he said repeatedly, sniffling as tears cascaded down his cheeks, choking his breaths.He scooped her from the ground and headed straight for his second chambers. A few minutes of running, he arrived in front of the room and kicked the door open. He willed his legs towards the bed and carefully place Mia on it. He stretched his hand and gently rubbed her neck. Agitatedly, the scars on her neck were getting fairer, almost blending with her skin. It was clear what he was doing. He was taking back the demon's power he had released into her. "Mia, you should be awake by now, " he said after the mark on her neck was completely gone. However, it did little or n
"You are unbelievable, Mia. You are simply fascinating, and there is nothing you do that does not take me by surprise," he said, holding her hands. He held her gaze, reaching a hand to brush away the wet strands of hair that stuck to her forehead. "Your eyes..." He drawled, tracing his thumb down her cheek and caressing it. "They are like a portal to your soul, and there is nothing I want more than to be lost in those beautiful orifices." Mia blinked rapidly, and a blush kissed her cheeks as heat spread up her neck. They stayed in a comfortable silence, enjoying each other's presence. Their stifling breaths filled the room."I," Alex began, breaking the silence, "I love you, Mia." A shocked, stupefied, and baffled look was on Mia's face when she heard Alex' confession. "You-you really love me, Alex?" Mia inquired, heart skipping. "You-you said you love me!" Mia beamed.A wide elated smile played on the sides of her lips. It seemed to her like she had heard the best news of her
"Wow! Look at how handsome and masculine he is. His broad and sturdy chest alone is giving me butterflies," a group of girls at the entrance giggled as they saw Alex walking out from the car."Do you not see how rich and intimidating he is? Look at his car. It is a limited edition car!" one of the girls yelled. Mia opened the door to hear what the girls were talking about. She stood still before the girls who were gossiping and struck those who were staring at Alex. She walked closer to him and held him by the hands as if claiming a prize.A small chuckle came from Alex's mouth when he saw the woman's jealous behaviour. He held his hand out and put it around her waist. They both led their way into the store, feeding the girls that were staring at him a dose of public display of affection.Alex's grips didn't leave her waist."Good morning, Mr and Mrs. You are welcome to our mall. What do you want, and what are the designs you have in mind?" A sales clerk said, walking up to them."I
Mia slept off in the car and was woken by Alex when they got to the gates of the island.A number of guards stood by the gates and instructed the car to stop for a check.The chauffeur slowed down and drove in almost immediately. The guards had recognized Mia and had the Gates opened."Good day, Your Highness." They bowed curtly and had the guard by the gate open it while the chauffeur drove in straight to the house.Stella was already by the house entrance after hearing the news of her daughter's arrival by the maids and guards By her side was her father, who stood at the entrance in his Royal regalia, waiting for her as if she was a child being brought back from a war front.Mia was elated as she saw the familiar building she had lived in all her life, memories of her friends, and how much fun they had filled her voice. A wide smile played on her face when she saw her parents waiting eagerly for her.The chauffeur stopped in front of the house and came down from the car to open t
The sun set over the vast forest as Mia and her loyal pack made their way through the dense forest. The air was thick with anticipation as they neared their destination - the territory of the Silver Moon Pack.Today was a momentous day - the day the two packs would be reunited. As the sole heir to her pack, Mia had taken on the responsibility of bringing both packs together, forging a stronger and more harmonious alliance.It had been a long journey, but Mia knew that this meeting was the beginning of a new chapter in her life and that of her pack.As they approached the borders of the Silver Moon Pack's territory, Mia stood to address her pack.Mia's heart swelled with pride as she surveyed her pack, eager for this new chapter in their lives. The challenges they had faced seemed insignificant now, their differences mere stepping stones towards a common goal. She caught the eye of some leaders, the Diamond Shadow pack's wise and noble elders and advisors; they stood there with everyon
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the tranquil garden, Alex and Mia found themselves seated on a rustic wooden bench, their fingers intertwined. It was a moment of quietude, a sanctuary of their own amidst the chaos of their lives. The fragrant aroma of blooming flowers and the soothing melody of birdsong filled the air, creating a backdrop that seemed tailor-made for a profound conversation.Mia gazed at Alex with a mix of anticipation and vulnerability. She had spent countless nights rehearsing the words she would utter, trying to capture the essence of her emotions. Now, with her heart pounding in her chest, she took a deep breath and mustered the courage to speak her truth, but before she could say anything, Alex took the lead."Mia," he began, his voice barely above a whisper. "I've been reflecting on our journey together, on the pact that once bound us and the love that has blossomed between us. I've come to realize that our marriage shouldn't
The next morning, the sun's warm rays filtered through the curtains of Alex's bedroom, gently coaxing him awake. As he slowly emerged from his slumber, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation tingling in the air. He turned and gave the still-sleeping Mia a peck on the head and a soft kiss on her lips.As he rose from his bed and began his morning routine, Alex couldn't shake off the thought of his mother's message. "She sent for me," he murmured to himself. Alex's mother had sent for him, a simple message delivered by a nurse who had become a familiar face during his past visits when Heartman was there.A mix of curiosity and trepidation brewed within him. Although he had never been close to his mother, the fact that she had reached out to him felt significant.With a mix of apprehension and hope, Alex made his way down the hallway towards his mother's room. As he neared the door, he paused, taking a deep breath to steady himself. He wasn't sure what to expect or how this en
Alex's heart pounded as he carried Mia's unconscious body through the dense forest, making his way back to the Crystal Moon pack. His mind raced with worry and desperation, knowing that her life hung in the balance. Every step he took, every breath he drew, was filled with determination to bring her back safely.Finally, the familiar sight of the pack's territory emerged from the trees. He sprinted towards the Alpha's den, his muscles burning with exertion, but his resolve unyielding. Bursting through the entrance, he was immediately met with concerned and relieved faces.The pack's healer and nurses rushed forward to tend to their Alpha as she took in Mia's motionless form. "What happened?" she asked urgently.Alex's voice cracked with emotion. "The most important thing I want now is for her to be taken to my room; you have to help and treat her there."The pack healer motioned for the others to clear a space, and together they gently laid Mia on a nearby bed. The healer's hands move
Mia, Heartman, and the sorcerer left Natalie behind at the sorcerer's place because she was already injured during the clash.Mia and Heartman ran towards the building where the final sacrifice would be made, and the sorcerer stayed behind to distract Alex while they destroyed the altar and exorcised the demon.Standing before the main room where the altar was set up, Mia and Heartman felt their hearts pounding with a mixture of anticipation and fear. They had finally located the place where the demon intended to fully possess Alex, and they knew they had to act quickly to prevent Alex's servants from catching up with them.Heartman's hands trembled slightly as he clutched the ancient book of exorcism chants, its pages worn and fragile with age. Mia stood close to him, holding the little dagger the sorcerer had given her.With a deep breath, Mia took the lead, stepping cautiously into the room. The low lighting and flickering candles cast eerie shadows on the cold stone walls. The atm
Outside the sorcerer's abode, Mia and Alex's parents chatted as they made their way home."Heartman, I told you the place looks familiar; now you believe me, right? I can't miss it; I know the place so well, and it still hasn't changed a bit all those years," Natalie said."I believe you now, Luna Natalie," Heartman said, laughing. He went ahead and teased her."Why would you want a sorcerer to change his place? It's not a rented apartment or a palace," Heartman said, laughing out loud. Mia couldn't help but join in the laugh."Heartman darling, are you mocking me?" Natalie did a baby face, trying to win Heartman.Heartman looked at her and refused to fall for her trick. Mia just looked at both of them, happy that they weren't crying or blaming themselves for how Alex turned out to be.She misses her mom too much; it hurts really bad. Her mom would have known exactly what to do right in this situation. She missed all the time she ran away from home to play with friends. If she had kno
Alex's parents were determined to assist their son in defeating the powerful demon that plagued their lives and caused so many deaths. They believed that understanding the demon's origins and weaknesses would be the key to success. With a glimmer of hope in their hearts, they embarked on a journey that would take them to the sorcerer's place and grant them access to long-forgotten texts, helping them understand what they needed to do to help Alex.Early in the morning, they left the pack with Mia, who assured them of the sorcerer's place that her mom took her to before she was killed. They ventured deep into the enchanted forest, with Heartman and Natalie feeling a sense of familiarity."Heartman, isn't this the place we came back then when we were looking for answers about Alex?" Natalie asked, looking around."Natalie, I can't say because all forests look the same, though I know this place looks and feels familiar," Heartman replied."Let's just go; when we get there, we'll know if
The dark cloud that had loomed over Alex's soul grew denser, and with each passing day, the demon lurking inside him gained strength. Its malevolent presence seeped into his thoughts, tainting his actions with a sinister allure. Alex had fought against it, but now, it seemed as if the demon's grip on his very essence was tightening, suffocating him.He noticed Alex was starting to know more about things, meaning he already knew about the trick he was playing with his mind. The demon possessed him and started ordering everyone to get the sacrifice ready fast so he could come in his full self.In fear and trembling, all his servants went about looking for all ingredients to complete the sacrifice and awaken him to take full control of Alex's body.**----------------------------------**Mia and Alex's parents were still making plans on how to help Alex and destroy the demon without coming back to seek revenge.As Mia spoke about it, the more she became tired because everything was confus
Heartman walked out of the cell and out of the dungeon. He headed towards the room where Mia and Nathalie were receiving treatment in the pack house."Nathalie, there's something you need to know," Heartman began, and Mia was about to stand up and leave them to talk when Heartman stopped her."You need to hear this, Mia. It's about your husband, Alex. He isn't dead; he has been possessed by a demon," Heartman paused, observing Mia's response before continuing."He's in the forest, going through the sacrifice to awaken the demon within him," Heartman concluded.Nathalie started crying as she heard what Heartman said. "Isn't there a solution to stop it, Heartman? We can't allow the demon to be awake; it'll destroy innocent lives," Nathalie complained."We'll have to look for the person that possesses the Mundara powers, and searching for that now isn't something that can be done in a few minutes," Heartman said sadly."I already know about the demon within Alex, and I'm the one you seek
