Edward appeared in his palace. He stood in the hall he had called his throne room but have never really considered making it one. He reached up and wiped out the blood on the corner of his lips and with a wave of his hand, his red demon throne appeared on the far edge of the room, right where a throne should have been. His eyes flickered between red and blue and he shook his head and reached up to numb the growing headache. Ever since he had had to his fill the blood he had so longed for, his nightwalker’s strength had fully returned to max and since then, he had been feeling like a war was going on inside him.He didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, besides, deep inside he had always known that that would happen just as he had seen in his son and knew he would fight the same battle when he grows older. At the moment, he just needs to figure out how to control the two powers inside him and find a way to merge them and until he had achieved that, he had no plan of stepping out of
“Alpha,” a young warrior ran to meet Alan and Aton who were in the training ground just to distract themselves from what happened last night as they watched the wolves training. Seeing the boy approaching them, Alan frowned but the boy quickly went on his knees on approaching them. “Alpha,” he panted, “High Howlers are here.”“What?” Aton asked, sharing a look with Alan, “what happened?”“They just showed up, Beta, and they are demanding to see Alpha,” the boy answered.Alan sighed and with a curt nod, he said, “let’s go.” They left the training ground and Sean watched them leave, he had heard the boy’s report and for some reason, he could feel it in his gut that they are here for Aliyah and her healing abilities. After all, everyone knows how hard Alpha Damien have been searching for the antidote to heal the wolves and how he had been bothering and tasking Catherine to provide the antidote.“You think they are here for Aliyah?” a voice asked and he turned to see Eric walking up to hi
“Alpha Damien,” Alan bowed on approaching the man and he greeted the High Elders as well. “Please, come inside,” he offered and turned to lead them to the conference room. On getting inside the big space, he let Damien take his seat and made sure the Elders were seated as well before he stood in front of Damien and bowed. “May I know the reason to this early morning visit, High Howlers?”Aton bowed as well, standing beside his alpha while also wondering what the reason for the visit could be.Damien sighed and glanced from Alan to Aton and back to Alan. “What happened last night?”Alan and Aton shared a look before Alan turned to Damien to ask. “What exactly are you asking about, high alpha?”“Is it true that your daughter was kidnapped by the cat demons?” Damien asked, he could see the man was playing smart with him and knew that the only way he could get what he wants was by asking directly, besides, he deserves to know everything that is happening in every wolf pack.“Yes, high alp
“Aliyah, are you sure about this?” Steven asked just as the girl reached to cut her finger with the penknife. “I don’t want you regretting later?”“Steven, this is the only time I can do this. I have to use this mask on the mark before it breaks otherwise Edward would be charging here with all that happened last night,” Aliyah said, glancing at the girl.“I just want you to know Aliyah, no matter what happened, I will always be grateful for this,” Sarah said.Aliyah glanced at the woman and smiled, “it’s the least I can do Sarah, Steven has been really helpful to me and I will never shy away from anyway that I can help him.”“Thank you, thank you so much,” Ethan said and she smiled and turned back to the medium size black wolf before closing her eyes and heaving a deep sigh. For a moment, she remembered the day she had met the boy, that blood moon night that he had captured her interest, however she ended up finding her mate then before they could even travel through their friendship.
To say that Damien attitude shocked everyone was an understatement compared to the words that left his mouth. Alan glanced from the older man to the baby boy in his mate’s arms back to the older man. Surprisingly, Asher had stopped crying when Damien made his claim and to top it up, his eyes started shining blue light just like Damien’s.“And here I was, often bothered why I don’t feel this connection with first or any of my sons, turns out that the next High Alpha won’t be from my bloodline,” Damien whispered.“Alpha, what are you saying?” an elder asked, standing up, “for powers to be passed down from alphas, it has to be of the same bloodline. No history spoke of an alpha having his successor from another wolf that has not blood link to him. Surely, you must be mistaken, don’t you think?”“I am not just the alpha of a pack, Elder Luke, I am the alpha that creates alphas, I can make any wolf an alpha if I as much as wishes it, so I don’t think what you said imply to me. However, I m
Edward chuckled amidst the pain he was going. “Tempting, I would say but if a woman like you wants the throne this badly, it simply makes me want to hold onto it even more.”The woman smiled, “but what good is it to you holding onto it when you shall be in slumber really soon?” “I shall wake up.”“Aye, but how long? Another eight hundred years? Your son would be old or dead but then if at all he age like night howlers.”“I shall wake eventually.”“To chaos and destruction, obviously. Edward, with you out of the picture, there is nothing stopping me from whatever I want. Even now, you don’t pose a threat so don’t think everything would be calm and peaceful should go into slumber nor would you wake up to a calm world.”Edward knew she spoke of the truth, he could see it in her eyes that the woman meant every word she spoke but he does not understand was what she really wanted and what her role in the world is playing. He meant it when he said the woman had no soul and so therefore made
“Aliyah,” Irene yelled, running into the hall and behind her was a confused Rasmus. Everyone turned on their entrance and she quickly rushed to Aliyah who was getting up to meet her. “Edward…” she called, her voice seemed to be failing for she kept opening her mouth and closing it but nothing was coming out except Edward.“No, I have to go,” Rasmus said, finally suspecting what could be going on but as he got to the door, he paused and then turned to Alan, “can I borrow a car?”“You can borrow mine,” Sean said and stepped out in front of the door, “I’m coming with you.”Aliyah dropped Irene’s hand and rushed to them, “how fast can you drive?” she asked Rasmus.“Very fast,” he replied and she ran out of conference room, followed by Steven and Sean. A few seconds later, a car pulled over in front of the hall and the passenger’s door was pushed open. With speed, Rasmus rushed and entered the car in a second. The seat changing didn’t last long as the car sped away soon after.Irene watche
In a dark room, a woman appeared and she crashed into the center table. She grabbed onto it to steady herself, her black hair covering her face as she saw through the hair strands and staggered to seat on a chair. She threw head back and winced in pain, her eyes shut tightly and she reached for her hood to cover her head. No matter what, she can’t be see, not even by herself in an accident. She grunted and reached to feel her neck with her fingers, they were burnt fingerprints and even though she tried to heal it, she couldn’t.She sat on her chair, panting heavily and when she believed she had mustered some strength, she pushed herself up and staggered to another room, pushing things down with her body. She entered a small room with a big crystal ball sitting in the middle and she limped to the table by the side, grabbing a book and flipping through the pages. She growled in annoyance and slammed the book on the table and turned and staggered out of the room once more. There was a sh
Five years later.Asher stood aside with a ball in his hand watching the playing kids. He wanted to join them but he doesn’t know how to. No matter how hard he tried, it was always hard for him to make friends and it was because of his stupid temper. “Hey,” he heard and glanced aside to see Anita, the only one that could stand being close to him without a worry in the world.“Hey,” he muttered, glancing down at his ball.Anita walked up to him and glanced at the children as well, “let’s join them.”“I can’t,” he whispered.“Why?” she asked and when he didn’t answer, she sighed. “Asher, you shouldn’t always be like this. Yes you have a temper but that doesn’t mean you have to shut yourself out. We all have a temper. Yesterday, I bit Loila for taking my candy, my daddy said I should try to control my temper and isn’t it the same thing your mommy tells you?”Asher glanced at the girl, “your daddy really said that?”“Uh-huh. Everyone has their temper and we all have to learn to control it
“Wow, just like that, Eric is now the future beta.”“I know right? But I still think they should have made him alpha. Sean is not that much stronger than him and to think Monica is now going to be my Luna,” Natasha said with a look of disgust.“Greediness is the beginning of a person’s downfall and you my dear is buying a first-class ticket.” Steven said, walking out in front of them, shocking the three girls. “I can see you are the type that likes bullying the weak.”“Future Alpha Steven, what are you doing here?” Natasha asked, surprised to see him.Steven’s eyes flashed blue as he remembered how weak and in pain Vanessa looked that night and he had to force himself to stay in control. “I’m not the type to beat around the bush so I am going to say this really clear. The next time you would raise your hand or hurt my mate intentionally or not, I will be cutting off your fingers and force feeding them on you and should your mate have a say, I will be feeding you his balls as well.”Na
When the ceremony was over, Sean and Steven were the last remaining in the training ground and Steven walked up to the rack of spears and grabbed two, tossing one at Sean who caught it effortlessly with a raised eyebrow. Steven grinned, “now that we are both future alphas, let’s have that spar.”Sean grinned and ran his fingers on his spear and when he looked up, his brown eyes turned blue and Steven’s black ones turned blue as well. They both stared at each other as they walked around, waiting for who to attack first. After a while, Sean did and Steven quickly dodged. They were both light on their feet and fast that it would make anyone watching them dizzy.All that could be heard were the clanging sounds of spear against spear as they were both of equal strength. Steven leapt up to attack but Sean slid on the ground, avoiding the attack and splashing sand on Steven’s eyes, taking that time to hit him on the legs with his spear but Steven instantly healed and turned to him, punching
The resurrection of Aliyah was the topic in everyone’s mouth, from the Demon clan to the Nightwalkers clan and to the Night Howlers clan. Even in the witches coven.Edward had thrown a party that lasted for two weeks in her honor and everyone was more than overjoyed to attend. It was such merriment and for the fact that no one holds grudges against the other again made it even more interesting and heartwarming. The woods were finally at peace and every creature from the biggest to the smallest were happy to see everywhere in calm and harmony.“I can’t believe this, I was saying that your palace was too big for me before and now you made it ten times bigger?” Aliyah said as she pushed open the big doors to Edward’s private living room, where he loved spending his time and reading. “Not everyone can teleport like you and you…” She stopped when she saw the man kneeling in front of here. “What is going on?” She asked, her initial anger totally forgotten.Edward smiled and revealed the rin
Everyone gathered in the garden hushed when they saw the man carrying a woman dressed in white walked out of the door. They had purposely had the burial at night so that Nightwalkers that would love to attend would be able to without worrying about the sun.Edward walked on the aisle that has been carpeted with white roses down to a white coffin with golden embroidery. At the top of the coffin was a statue of a white wolf with the most piercing blue eyes. Haven lived as long as they did, some of them had a good craftsmanship and they have all agreed to make the beautiful coffin for their beautiful queen.No one said anything but there were tears in the Night Howlers eyes as they watched Edward carry Aliyah to the coffin with a stiff face. Everyone present knew that the task was hard for him, after all, he had lived with the corpse for three months now.Scarlet wiped the tears on her cheeks and turned to hug Alan, she couldn’t watch anymore. From the moment she had opened her eyes in t
“No,” Aliyah said, losing her balance that she took a step back. “No, I have to warn them, I have to warn Edward but how?”“I’m sorry Mariah but Edward will have to do this on his own, he will have to protect him alone.”“No,” Aliyah said, her eyes clouded over with tears, “no,” there must be something to do, there must something that I can do, how I can help.”“You have to have faith in your mate and you have to have faith in your son. Mariah, if Asher is raised in love, I believe that he won’t go dark and the love in him will overshadow the darkness. Aspa has hated the Night Howlers and Nightwalkers since I created them. Her reason is because the Almighty did not complain about it despite the fact that the Nightwalkers feeds on human blood. But what she doesn’t know, what she has failed to understand is that the main purpose for their existence is love and the ending purpose is still love. Love is the foundation of Nightwalkers and Night Howlers but love is not the foundation for Gh
“Hello Mariah,” A mystical voice called and the girl lying on the floor opened her eyes. “Long time no see,” the voice smiled.Aliyah sat up on what looked like cloud even though it had a strong floor. She glanced up, the mistiness of her surrounding affected her vision for some seconds before she blinked continuously to adapt her vision. A strong headache overcame her then and she closed her eyes and held her temple as the memories came pouring in like sea. She sighed when it was all over and glanced up once more, “I guess I am bound to meet you once more, Selene.”Selene chuckled and made an appearance before her. “And here I was thinking that it would take another hundred years for you to remember.”Aliyah smiled softly at that and heaved a deep breath, “tell me, Selene, did it work?”“Yes, you not only saved your people, you saved my creation. Thank you, Mariah.”Aliyah glanced at her, squinting her eyes at the bright light that enveloped the woman until she tuned it down. “I am h
“He is coming for us,” Mary shrieked and they all started chanting to create a spell. As they were about to teleport, a fire rope clung onto their legs and with a force, they were pulled and smacked on the hilltop. Looking up, they saw the man hanging midair, his eyes were burning red and he looked nothing like the wailing man a second ago.“Try, but you can never untie that rope,” Edward said, his voice soft and collected like he was just asking about the weather. “And with it attached, I will always find you.”“Perhaps, now is the time brother,” Kaiden said, his eyes shining yellow as he grew extra five feet tall, his face red as he clawed his long and pointed black nails on the rope but like Edward said, it didn’t snap.“Let’s take the fight where there is audience and bigger space,” Edward and in the next second, they all appeared in the center of the space and wolves and nightwalkers screamed, running out of the way. “I regretted killing you the other time, but now I wished I was
Sean held onto Monica as a gust of wind left Edward, pushing past the witches and them as well. He closed his eyes and thought of Aliyah’s face, he could feel that this was the end. Edward would be breaking out of the witches hold really soon and would be massacring everyone. He couldn’t help but blame the High Howlers and High Chiefs, if they hadn’t rushed in killing Edward before, he wouldn’t have woken up to be heartless as he was now and perhaps, he would have understood that whatever Aliyah did, she did it to save her people and his.With two giant strides, Edward smacked a witch out of the formation and the force broke the woman before she even landed on the ground.“Quickly, close the space,” Irene yelled and the two witches standing at the sides hurriedly came closer and held hands. “Let’s raise a shield.” And with that, they all started chanting in an ancient language.Edward growled and targeted another witch, this time, before his hand could touch her, a shield rose and he
