Hepzibah appeared in a throne room and seeing the white-haired man sitting on the python carved throne, she sighed. “How dare you summon me, Idrissa?”“How dare you take so long to answer me?” the man asked, standing up from his throne. “Pure blood witches are always full of themselves.”“Why shouldn’t we be? After all, people like you need our powers to see the future?”Idrissa smiled and nodded, “I take it you took so long to know if you can see why I summoned you?”“You are a smart man, the reason you have been the python king for over a thousand years. So tell me dear king, what do you want from me?”“I take it you didn’t see a vision then,” he chuckled, however, his face soon turned serious. “Did you hear the news?”“What news?”“That a nightwalker now possesses the eternal fire.”“Oh, that,” Hepzibah shrugged.“You don’t seem surprised.”“Yes I’m not.”“Hepzibah, you must understand that from the beginning of time, the world has been dominated by demons, witches and humans.

The Blue moon pack was in celebration, Alan had thrown a three days party for the return of his daughter and the welcome of his grandson. Everywhere was full of merriment and everyone must admit that they all needed it after fighting every single night. Normally, they wouldn’t have dared have a party without the fear of being ambushed by the deranged rogues or nightwalkers. However, since Edward’s resurrection seven days ago, no single pack has been attacked again and so, they all agreed that they needed the party.Aliyah even invited Steven and his parents and they had showed up the next day, in truth, they needed the distraction as well. Aliyah got the chance to meet Sarah —Steven’s mother— for the first time and even though the lady tried to look happy, she could see the pain behind her eyes that she tried so much to hide.“I am really sorry about Gerald,” she said to Steven as they walked around the pack on the third day of the endless party which was also the last day.Steven sho
“How do you feel, Eric?” Alan asked the next morning in the pack’s clinic.“Like my heart was almost burnt to ashes,” Eric answered.“I’m sorry about that, it’s a good thing that you are still alive, it would have been quite painful to lose you just after getting you back,” Alan said. “What do you remember apart from last night?”“I can remember the fight and the pain of the poison taking over me. After that, I don’t remember anything anymore apart from a voice asking me to get Aliyah. She was a constant snow-white wolf in my mind and I could smell her presence. Last night, I was led by her smell and that is all.”“But somehow, she had managed to transform you back, taking off the poison from you and returning you back to your senses. How did she do that?” Aton wondered aloud.No one said anything for they can’t begin to explain the strangeness of it. It wasn’t helping with the fact that they have not seen Aliyah since last night but the good thing was that Asher was in the pack and i
Aliyah went over to the clinic and she sighed when she saw Eric sitting up on his bed. His long black hair was cascading down his shoulders and his black eyes still spoke of the unbearable pain he had gone through. He looked surprised seeing her but he still gifted her a warm smile. “Hi newest mother,” he said cheerily at her but Aliyah still noticed the pain in his voice.“How are you Eric?” She said, her eyes going over to Natsha who was occupying the next bed to see her glaring at her.“Aliyah, what are you doing here, are you okay child?” Eric’s mother rushed to hold her hands, “you are not hurt any where are you?”Shaking her head, Aliyah smiled at the tensed woman, “I’m fine, really, you don’t have to worry about me.”“Oh dear, we have to,” she said, “but I’m glad you are okay, really,” she smiled and let go of her hand.“You must be so full of yourself now, aren’t you?” Natasha asked.“How are you, Natasha?”“How do you think I am? Your ‘mate’ almost killed my mate and I becaus
“Aliyah, can I talk to you?” Scarlet asked from the bedroom door and Aliyah sighed and stood up from the bed, went over to the door and unlocked it. “How are you?” Scalet asked as she stepped into the room and closed the door behind her.“I’m fine,” Aliyah responded and went back to sitting on the bed.Sitting beside her, Scarlet sighed, “Edward is still sitting in the conference room, he has not stood up since you walked out that morning and it’s been ten hours since then. Won’t you go to him?”“I don’t want to talk to him Mom, and to be honest, I would be happy if you don’t force me to.”Scarlet smiled softly, “when we thought he was dead, you never recovered from the pain and now he is here and you are saying you don’t want to talk to him?” Seeing the look she was giving her, Scarlet chuckled, “Monica told me everything.”Sighing, Aliyah shrugged, “I was mourning him, mom, and I know that I am happy that he is back but mom…look at him, he is not the same.”“Everybody has been sayin
Edward turned to Aliyah on his seat and as he stared at her, he saw her wolf, she was looking back at him with eyes so blue and pure that he knew she meant every word she had said. He reached up and caressed her cheek, his hand going behind her neck and pulling down on him as he claimed her lips. A soft moan escaped Aliyah’s lips at the contact and she shivered. Edward felt his body react to her welcoming response and he quickly circled his arm on her waist and pulled her down to sit on his thighs. His hand caressed her body as he deepened the kiss, making her moan some more.He didn’t think twice and just tore open her shirt but Aliyah gasped then and her gaze went straight to the big doors. “No, not here,” she shook her head. Edward looked at her, his midnight blue eyes a littler dimmer now because of his passion and without a word, he kissed her again. “Edward, no, not here,” Aliyah repeated and pushed him away only to be shock to find out that they were now in her dimly lit room.
“Steven please, ask her. It’s the list she can do for you after all the troubles you suffered for her,” Sarah said to Steven as he paced around in the room he was given. “Please son, you promised me to bring him back, this is how you can do that. Just ask her, it’s not a big deal. She just have to do it like she did for that other guy, please Steven.”“Steven, your mother is right,” Ethan sighed and sat up from the bed to go to his son. Placing a hand on his shoulder, his black eyes met with Steven’s. “It’s not too much to ask, let it be her payment to you for all the things you have done for her. This is your brother we are talking about here, not a random wolf. I mean, we are not asking her to heal every wolf in the dungeon, at least not until we see her healing her father’s wolves. Just for your brother, or don’t you miss him? Don’t you miss your brother?”Steven sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. “I have just been contemplating about that but when I didn’t see her go to
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
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
