Chapter forty-seven“Why did you choose him?” Steven asked as they left the dungeon, the guards had been so shocked to see them walking out with the elder and one of them had rushed off to call the alpha while another went to get the man some clothes to change into.“If we stay to talk about this and my father happens to show up, trust me, we won’t be going to Black Wind pack and I would really love to do it today. You guys are leaving tonight and I would want your mom to meet that surprise at home,” she winked.Steven chuckled at that and nodded, “fine, we will talk along the way. Besides, I can tell from your eyes that you want us to use the secret tunnels.”“Of course, it’s faster and also would keep us out of the eyes of everyone. Something tells me that the news of me healing Eric must have traveled to other packs. The last thing I want is the tearful eyes of mates begging me to heal their mates. It’s been hard avoiding the ones from my pack; I don’t want to add extras.”Steven l
Just like Rasmus had said, when they got back to Sean’s apartment, there was no sign of the demons. “Sean,” Alan called seeing them approached and noticing that he was carrying someone on his back. However, his hope was gone when he saw the physic of the person he was carrying and he knew it was not Aliyah. Sean put down Steven and Rasmus put down Mattew while Irene climbed down from his back. “We have to detoxify the poison,” she said immediately.“Where is Aliyah?” Alan asked as Sean shifted back into human and took the blanket that was handed to him by a guard.“I didn’t meet her, she was gone by the time I got there. I only saw Steven and Elder Mattew like this and sadly, Gideon is gone,” he announced.The other guard that had left to call Alan couldn’t believe his ears, Gideon had been alive and just fine minutes ago and now he was… his heart felt the pain but he tried to stay strong as he wondered how he would relay the news to their mother.Alan shook his head, “I can’t believe
“How could you have lost her to Maleeka?” Idrissa yelled at Gaziah who was kneeling in front of him while holding a little baby.“I am sorry, My King. I had wanted to go for the mother right after getting the son. I had wanted to blackmail her into coming with me with her son. I didn’t think Medlyn would act fast.” Gaziah explained with his head lowered.“Gaziah is right my king. I am sure that if it wasn’t for Medlyn, his plan would have worked. Which mother would refuse going with you to save her son?” A woman sitting on the foot of the throne smiled up at the king. “His plan would have been perfect.”Idrissa sighed and rubbed his temple. “I didn’t say the plan was bad, but this boy has only been in existence for a period of days, I don’t think the vampire prince had grown a strong bond with him. Now his mate is certain because of how he has always been protecting her. At this rate, I am afraid we would lose to Maleeka.”“If my king would listen to my suggestion, I have a way we can
Edward sat on his favorite chair in his palace with his eyes closed. A blue light of fire enveloped him like a shield and his eyes were closed. Veins popped out on his face and his hands that were tightly clenching onto the chair arms. He seemed to be unconscious but he was showing out expression of being in pain. After a long time, he gasped and snapped his eyes open and the fire light vanished immediately.He panted, his eyes a blue fire for a while before slowly dimming down to midnight blue. He closed his eyes once more with a shallow pant and placed his head on the headrest. After some minutes, he sat up on the chair and opened his eyes and then he tried summoning his nightwalker’s powers. His eyes flickered between red and blue continuously until blood sipped from his nose and he grunted in pain and shut his eyes, his clenched fist giving away and he fell weakly from his chair onto the floor. “I need more energy,” he whispered in pants.His tired eyes glanced around him, “energy
“I am not understanding Irene, what does it have to do with the rat demons?” Sean asked quietly.“The rat demons are famous for being able to project anything they touched or project anything by touching something related to that thing by blood or a strong bond,” Rasmus answered.“So, the python King has Asher and he is the one that involved the rat demons. Does it mean that he wants the rat demons to project Aliyah?” Alan asked.“Yes and my guess, they want to use it on Edward, meaning that the cat queen having the real Aliyah means nothing because the python king now has Asher and the fake Aliyah. Edward would likely give up the throne to him to have them back,” Irene explained.“Wow, he is smart,” Steven nodded.“What do you expect, he has been ruling long before Maleeka became the cat queen so of course he knows the sly ways more. Besides, we can’t forget his origin, he is a snake.”“My, my, so it’s true,” A voice said and Irene and the rest shut up immediately as they watched Ma
“No,” Vertimon cried as he climbed out of the hole and saw the snake palace enveloped in blue flame and innocent young snakes were running out and screaming. “No,” He yelled and his eyes turned bright yellow as he slowly rose midair. A big whooshing sound was heard and before long, water was flowing towards them at rapid speed, passing through the forest and breaking down trees with its force. It splashed against the snake palace and soon enveloped it like a ball, keeping the blue fire away and quenching the one inside. “Hurry up and stop him, I can’t hold on like this forever,” he yelled.Hearing that, his entourage quickly started attacking Edward and with their attacks, he lost his focus on the palace to fade them off. His blows were brutal but the men and women were not giving up, using the element of water to their advantage by quenching any fire that he started. Seeing that only made Edward angrier as he could see he can’t get through to them. He quickly closed his eyes and in a
“No!” Idrissa and Vertimon shouted.“What are you doing, I will kill them!” Beruka yelled.“No you won’t.” Edward said, his eyes not leaving her. “Because you know that if there is as much as a scratch on them, your whole kind would cease to exist. You should know that this fire is not only on the Snake palace but also on Fox and Cat palace. So tell me Fox queen, would you rather demand for what you can’t have or would you let me have my family and save your entire race, the choice is yours.”Irene sighed, now that’s the Edward she knows. She knew that he won’t give up the throne and rather would find another means to save Aliyah and Asher while still keeping his powers.Screams soon filled around them and innocent snakes started running around, trying to save themselves. Vertimon wanted to summon his water again but a servant of his told him telepathically that a blue flame surrounded the water and they are trying to quench it but instead of quenching, the fire was boiling their wate
“High Alpha,” a man shouted as he knocked on a door, “High Alpha,” he continued shouted as he banged on the door. Finally, the door opened to reveal a very annoyed Damien and the man quickly bowed on and knelt on the floor on seeing him. “Please pardon my intrusion alpha but I bring you news.”“The news better worth you waking me up otherwise I will be killing right this instant,” Damien warned.The man nodded and looked up at him. “Alpha, there was an unsettling in the demon forests and when we went to check, we found out that the demon has crowned a new king.”“What?” All tiredness and anger vanished from Damien eyes. “A new king, but…we haven’t even killed the old one. Wait, the last time I checked, Prince Edward possesses the Demon fire, so who is crowned king without the demon fire?”“Actually, the crowned demon is none other than Prince Edward or should I say, King Edward.”“What?” Damien couldn’t believe his ears. “Prince Edward is the King of the demons?”“Yes alpha and that i
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
