Sean and Steven fell on the ground as soon as the smoke released them and Malachi and Damien picked themselves up. Damien shook himself, freeing his furs of death and Irene finally put down her shield.Edward’s eyes stopped burning and returned to their natural midnight blue as he rushed Rasmus who was holding an unconscious Aliyah. He took her from Rasmus and cradled her face and for the first time since that night, his face revealed warmth as he leaned over and kissed her forehead. However, he sensed something ruining his sweet reunion with her, a flicker of light on his mating mark which was always a sign that a mate is dying. His eyes turned urgent immediately as he glanced at the sleeping girl and started shaking her to wake her up.“Oh no,” Irene screamed and rushed to them, “what have they done?” she picked Aliyah’s hand as she knelt beside her. “They have numbed him,” she said and turned to Edward, “they have numbed his powers. His heartbeat is slowing and if he dies, Aliyah w
A woman with a long platinum blonde sleek ponytail landed in front of an ancient mansion. She was dressed in a black leather trousers and black leather jacket. The big black doors opened upon her arrival and the guards bowed to her as she walked past. Her knee-level black heeled boots clanked on the marble floors as she walked, her ponytail bouncing to and fro with each step.She came upon a council room with a big black throne and a woman was sitting on it, dressed in black robes and her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders. The woman’s cat like eyes shone upon seeing the new arrival and she licked her lips in anticipation to the juicy news she brought to her. “My Queen,” the platinum blonde haired woman bowed and when she looked up, her eyes flashed green with diluted pupils and the woman on the throne sat up.“I know that gaze, tell me, what is going on in the palace?” she asked.“The day we have been waiting for has finally arrived, My queen. There was a fight in the demon
“Alpha,” Aton screamed, running towards the man that was coming to him in quick strides. “Is it true?”“I don’t know,” Alan shook his head, “but I have been walking around the pack hoping to find Sean and ask him but he hasn’t showed up. And it leaves me thinking, could it be that he is with them or is all this just a fuss?”“I don’t know but the High warriors left last night and has not returned. The news is that the Black Wind pack had been attacked and the High alpha had summoned all warriors to help in the fight. According to the intel, the Nebuzars had been a big problem even for the High howlers and High chiefs until he showed up and ended the whole fight in just minutes. If it’s true then what happened that day? Was he alive and we thought he was dead? I mean, he was in a deep slumber for eight hundred years.”Alan shook his head and one could see the urgency in his eyes. “I don’t know but I do know that if this ends up being true, then I would be able to see my daughter again
Catherine removed the towel she placed on Aliyah’s forehead and turned to the patient man behind her and sighed. “Well, it was tough but she will live,” she smiled.“Oh God,” Irene sighed loudly in relief while placing a hand on her chest. She turned to Edward and smiled but the man didn’t return her smile as his gaze and attention was on the unconscious Aliyah. She turned back to Catherine and said, “that’s a relief, how long do we have to wait for her to wake up?”“In a few days, she is out of danger and I must commend you, witch, your work was flawless. I never knew that witches can successfully operate C-section. This is an eye opener.”“Oh, don’t be like that, it’s just years and years of practice,” Irene smiled.“Practice, what for?” Catherine asked.“Well, I have worked as a mid-wife to the humans for a long, long time, it all came due today and I am more than happy that I knew of it. We just panicked a little when it took long for her heart to beat, it has never taken that lon
“My lord,” Gaziah called as he entered a throne room. There were statues of snakes and pythons in two long roles that went straight to the throne. He went on his knees immediately he came close to the throne and bowed his head, “I have failed you.”The white-haired man sitting on the throne sighed when he heard that, “you didn’t bring the throne and you are covered in blood, that means the Cat demons intercepted on your mission?”“Yes, my Lord,” Gaziah confirmed. “Before we got to the royal demon palace, Medlyn and her kittens were already there, although we didn’t leave with the throne, they didn’t either. However, my lord, that is not the only thing I have come to report to you.”“What is it?” the man asked.“I gathered from hearsay of the wolves that the eternal fire has been found.”“That is not true,” the man shouted and stood up from his throne immediately, he was dressed in white robes with snake patterns on it and he glared at the man kneeling in front of him. “The eternal fir
“You are back, finally,” Ethan said when he saw his son walk into their house.“Oh, Steven, I am so glad you are okay,” Sarah, Black Wind pack’s Luna rushed and hugged her son, sobbing softly as she held him.“I am fine mom,” Steven said, holding her to comfort her.“Gerald,” Sarah sniffled.“Don’t worry mom, we will save him, I promise you. He would return back to us, you have my word.”“Sweetie, don’t worry, Gerald would join us again soon,” Ethan said and the woman nodded and finally let go of Steven. Ethan walked up to them and kissed her hair. “Go take a rest darling, you have been so stressed lately. Steven, take a walk with me.” Sarah nodded and left for her bedroom while Steven stepped out of the house with his father. “So I presume you have been with the vampire prince?”Steven nodded as a response.“How is Aliyah, they have found her?”“That night or should I say morning. Didn’t High alpha tell you?”“He did, I just wanted to ask.” Ethan sighed and they walked for a while in
Aliyah sobbed as Irene placed her son in her arms, she brought the little one’s face to hers and kissed his cheek, rubbing her tears on his chubby cheek. “He is beautiful,” she whispered, staring at him. At that moment, the baby opened his eyes and she gasped, his eyes weren’t blue like hers or Edward’s but was golden brown. She looked up at Irene who shrugged, knowing what she wanted to ask. Aliyah’s gaze went back to her son’s face, she has always imagined him with blue eyes, after all, she and Edward both has blue eyes. As if knowing what was going on in her mind, the baby’s eyes turned midnight blue like Edward’s. “Irene,” she gasped in shock, “what just happened?”Irene was also at shock at what happened, “his eyes, it just changed to blue.”To shock the women some more, the baby’s eyes turned red then, red as the mating mark on Aliyah’s neck that the color had returned now that Edward has renewed it. “Irene, are you seeing this?” Aliyah was afraid, how could her baby who is only
“What?” Aliyah asked the boy that kept staring at her.“Nothing,” Steven shrugged, “just that…”“Just that what?” she raised an eyebrow.“You look happier than you have been in the cottage.”“I am happier Steven, my son is healthy and my mate is with me, why won’t I be happier?” she chuckled and continued mixing the batter she had been mixing to make a pancake.“I know, and you must know that I am happy for you. Now I can see the what else after the fight for you,” he whispered.Aliyah looked up at him, “Steven, just because I didn’t give you an answer doesn’t mean I didn’t appreciate your effort. And I am sure that maybe in the future, if Edward hadn’t shown up, I may have considered you, that’s if you haven’t found your mate by then.”Steven shrugged, “no need talking about that anymore, I am just happy for you and you should know that it comes from the deepest part of my heart.”“Thank you and I pray that this whole fight would be over before the next blood moon and you can find yo
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
