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
“She has not showed up since yesterday, could it be that she succeeded?” Kaiden said as he paced around the in the cave.“But I thought you said he wouldn’t give in, that he is stubborn?” Mary asked.“That’s what I thought too but if she didn’t show up throughout yesterday till now, doesn’t it mean that she succeeded?” He asked and sighed soon after, “so I am going to be under his shadow once more, huh, life is really unfair.”“I don’t like this, we have been hiding in this cave for days, we are cut off from the outside world. I suggest that it is time we leave this place and see what is happening,” Melissa suggested.“Where would you go? Need I remind you that I am no longer the demon king so I can’t live in the palace anymore and certainly not when m brother now rules the palace.”“We mustn’t live in the palace, we can always get a cottage or…”“Or we can go to the human realm,” Mary suggested with a smile, “I always love to be there,” she chuckled and tucked a tendril of her blue h
Kaiden and his witches appeared in the rogue field. The innocent wolves were trying to protect themselves from their members that have gone deranged. He smiled and walked through the field, head of the deranged rogues sprang up and watched them as they passed. As much as Mary know that nothing would happen to her, she still felt fear deep in her bones as they passed through the snarling wolves.An older man rushed out from a hut, his face lightened up when he saw the man and he rushed to him, kneeling in front of him. “My Lord, you are back, have you come to save us as promised? Day by day we lose more of us to them. I had thought you abandoned us, but here you are, you really are a man of your words.”Kaiden smiled but his hood hid the malicious intent in his yellow eyes. He raised his hand and placed it on the man’s head. “Do not worry, Caleb, I will fulfil my vow to you but you need to do one more thing for me. All of you,” his hooded face glanced around and he took note of the fea
“Hey, is it true what they say?” A guard asked another.“What is?” the second one replied nonchalantly.“About prince Edward, Aliyah’s mate.”“The fact that he is now the demon king or that he is in slumber?”“So it’s true.”“Which one?”“Both of them,” the first one said and the second sighed. “So how is he going to save us if he is sleeping away in his palace?”The second glanced at him and shrugged, “I don’t know. I heard Daniel said his palace is on fire.”“What? Who set it on fire?”“He did.”The first guard frowned, “I’m not understanding. Why would he set his palace on fire if he is sleeping in it?”“I think he said the fire was cold or something.”“Cold fire? Where is that done.”“Listen, Toby, I don’t understand the demon ways or nightwalkers, I don’t know which one. So stop asking me questions I can’t answer.”“I know, I know, I just…” Toby was saying when a growling sound came from the dungeon. He glanced at it and sighed, “they are at it again. Hey tell me, do you think Al
“Do you think he will ever wake up?” Scarlet asked as she folded Asher’s clothes in the duffel bag on the bed.Alan sighed, “we can only hope. I just hope that he did more harm on that woman they spoke about.”“Why would you say that?”“Think about it, if I am your enemy and we have a fight in which I was able to get you bedridden even if for a while, that moment is when I would strike because there is an eighty five percent chance that I would win, even a hundred. So if that woman had walked out of that fight and if she is aware of the state he is in, nothing would stop here from attacking now.”Scarlet sighed, “you are right, well, let’s just hope that she is more hurt than he is.”A knock on the door stopped their conversation and Scarlet’s eyes went to it as she called, “come in.”The door opened and Catherine entered, closing the door behind her. She smiled softly, “you sent for me Luna.”“Yes, how are you feeling now? You don’t look different than you did in the morning,” Scarle
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
