Edward ran home and refused to think of the stupid thing he did. Not only did he kill the human because of her, he also stayed and guarded her till she was claimed by her people. Is he growing soft or what? How could he seek revenge for a howler and also protect her? That was impossible. He hates them to the bones, he hates their ancestors. Although it has been so long and he hardly remembers most of the things that happened when he was human, he has still not forgotten the hatred that burns deep in his bones. So no matter the form they take, he hates them and he will always hate them. So why, why did he do what he did tonight?At first, she had hurt him and rather than kill her, he helped pried open the teeth of the trap for her. And as if that was not enough, he killed an innocent human because of her. No, he shook his head, he didn’t kill the human because of her; he killed the human because he was taking advantage of innocent women, that’s all. He only wanted to rid the humans of
Aliyah opened her eyes and groaned to the stinging pain that rushed from her leg throughout her body. “You are okay, you are okay,” she heard Sean whispered as he grabbed her hand. She tightened her hand on his and her eyelids slowly fluttered open. He smiled at her seeing she was awake. “How are you feeling?”“Like a lorry ran down on me,” she replied huskily.Sean chuckled. “Well, considered what you have been through, to a human, it must surely feel like they have been run down by a lorry.” Aliyah smiled and tried to sit up but Sean held her down, “not yet, you are still too weak.”“Come on Sean, what am I, a human?” she rolled her eyes and insisted on getting up but when she moved her leg, a sharp pain shot through her and she shivered in the pain. Sean rushed and held her, helping her to lie back down. “It was a dangerous poison right?” she hissed due to the pain.“Yes, but don’t worry, Catherine is doing her best to detoxify it. You will be good to go in no time.”Aliyah nodded
“Aliyah, come on, you are stronger than you know,” Sean said seeing the fear in her eyes that she was trying so hard to hide.Aliyah nodded. “I know, it’s just…,” she sighed.Sean smiled and kissed her forehead, “hey, don’t worry. I promise I will make it up to you later.”Aliyah glanced at him with a furrowed eyebrows, “make it up to me, how?”Sean winked and leaned closer to her ear. He whispered, “you know how. Maybe, when you are completely healed, both of us would go to the same human realm and club with them.”Aliyah’s eyes brightened immediately and she spanked his chest playfully, “bad boy.” Then she said with the mind link, ‘I can’t believe you want to take me back to the very same place I’m being punished for.’Sean grinned and replied, ‘you only get punished if you get caught,’ he winked.Aliyah shook her head while smiling, ‘ah Sean, why do I love you so.’He ruffled her hair with a light chuckle and then helped her out of the bed, “let’s get this over with, okay?” She nod
“She can’t take anymore,” Sean whispered when he saw how frail Aliyah was looking. He rushed to Alan immediately. “She can’t take anymore, Alpha,” he said to him.“Sean, step aside please. The punishment clearly said it would be two hundred whipping; now it is already one hundred and fifty. She only has to endure fifty more,” an Elder said to Sean.“But she can’t take anymore, look at her. For goodness sake, she hasn’t fully recovered from the Garuda poison and you are putting her through so much stress. She would die,” Sean said.“Beta Aton, please control you son,” another Elder said.Aton sighed, “Sean, rule is rule. She broke the rule, she would take the punishment.”“I am not against that, but can’t you tell when one has had enough? Look at her dad, one more whip and she would be done for.”“Sean,” Monica rushed and grabbed his hand immediately, “let’s go Sean,” she tried to pull him away but he pried his arm away from her.Sean stood, glaring at his alpha, “fine then, if you won
Aliyah winced at the sharp pain of pierced flesh. Her eyeballs almost rolled into their sockets because of the immense pain her body was into. She could feel her blood passing through her into his mouth but what shocked her most was how relaxed her wolf was to everything. She was thinking she would be as frantic as her, thinking of the way to free themselves from his clutches otherwise he would suck them dry. But no, the damned furry creature was as relaxed as anyone without a problem would be. Suddenly, Aliyah noticed that the bite wasn’t painful anymore and although she could still feel him sucking her dry, the feeling was actually…pleasurable?Edward was determined to end the life of the good for nothing wolf that messed with his mind. Although there were many ways to kill her without even lifting a finger, but her blood has tempted him from the very first day. What better excuse to have a taste of that exquisite scent before wiping her away from the face of the earth? He was just
Aliyah sighed as she enjoyed Catherine massaged on her back as she rubbed the medicine to heal her wounds. She refused herself from thinking about what happened in the woods or to even acknowledge that a nightwalker had bitten her. “What an interesting night, don’t you think?” Catherine’s voice sipped into her thoughts.“Do you think they would be okay?” She asked about the wounded wolves.Catherine sighed, “Yes they will, but we lost more.”“How many?”Catherine exhaled deeply, “fifteen. Ten were wounded.”Aliyah shut her eyes at the numbers, they really did lose more and the sudden thought increased her burning hatred for a certain someone. “Don’t worry Catherine, we would have our revenge. Trust me.”“Yes we will, but we have to know what we are up against first.”“That’s not hard, it’s just a stupid…” Aliyah stopped, knowing that she almost spilled the beans.“Just a what?” Catherine pressed.“Nothing, don’t mind me.”Catherine nodded and kept applying the balm. “Wow, either your
Edward growled angrily as he smashed an expensive looking vase on the wall. He stood in the middle of the ruined room, panting like a raging beast. Rasmus sighed and included the vase in the list he was making about things to be replaced. He knew better than to ask his prince what troubled him so if he doesn’t want to end up like those decorations.“Ah,” Edward yelled and dipped his fingers into his hair. Just why won’t she stop? What the hell is she doing and why is it affecting me so much? He had already been pissed when he came home and had wanted to keep the damned wolf out of his mind but try as he may, he just couldn’t. The damned mark had left him connected with her and no matter what, he couldn’t just be able to keep her from his mind.He thought he could manage and live his life with her just being a meter away from his thoughts, however, he never expected the damned thing to be restless. He couldn’t tell what was wrong with her but he do know that the feeling was leaving him
Aliyah opened her eyes feeling drowsy. She yawned and stretched on the bed and then the details of last night flashed through her mind. Her drowsiness was forgotten as she quickly climbed out of the bed and rushed to the mirror. She glanced at her neck and her enthusiasm was lost when she saw the blood red rose sitting comfortably on her neck. She sighed and her eyes tear over. Not in pain but rather in hatred. She just wished she could be able to kill the damn nightwalker and kill him she shall. She just needs time to plan her strategy well.A knock came on the door and she quickly rushed to her wardrobe and grabbed a scarf, carefully tying it on her neck to cover the hideous mark. She put on her pajamas and hand-combed her hair, using a lot of strands to cover her neck before she went to get the door. Opening the door, she smiled softly at Sean, “good morning.”“What the heck are you doing out of the bed? Don’t you realize how hurt you are?” Sean asked, picking her up immediately an
“My lord,” Melissa appeared in the room and Cedric bowed to her. Ignoring him, she turned to the man standing close to the window. “It is done, the dark prince has fallen. I saw him with my own eyes.”The man standing near the floor to ceiling window closed his eyes and a soft smile appeared on his lips. “I know, I can feel his passing.”“You must be happy, my Lord,” Cedric asked with a grin, “your biggest threat is finally out of the picture.”“Indeed I am, Cedric, indeed I am,” the man turned to them, his eyes were a dark brown and Melissa sighed in relief for not seeing his demon eyes yet again.“There is only one problem, my lord,” she said.“And what is that now?” the man asked.“The wolf, the rogues failed in capturing her and I wanted to do so myself but the prince had used his demon power right before dying. He had carried her and the pure blood witch away in a tornado.”“What?” The man asked, shocked.“Aye my lord.” Melissa nodded. “Not all royal blood demons had mastered tha
Rasmus didn’t leave when Edward told him to. He knew Aliyah was safe back in the castle and so he lingered around and watched the fight. He had refused to take the bark from his father when he had given it to him this afternoon and had only promised to bring the prince out of the palace and in return, he would never acknowledge his father again. Bringing Edward out of the palace was the last respect he told himself he would to pay his parents and seeing how the prince was doing well on his own, he was happy he made that decision and also glad that Edward has forgiven him.Even if Edward hadn’t pointed him out, he had every intention of telling him the truth and asking for his forgiveness before the fight started and he had wanted to fight alongside him but he never expected the man to chase him out of the fight. He had been secretly watching the fight and rejoicing at Edward’s obvious victory until he heard a voice like Irene’s. He was still wondering what Irene could be doing there u
A low growl sounded and every alpha wolf that were perched on Edward were thrown miles away from him. His eyes burned red as his fangs elongated. He glared at the High Howlers who were getting ready to transform and he charged at Damien. However, a force hit him from behind and he was thrown ten steps back. He hit the brakes on the ground, digging up sand with a loud screech. He glanced up and saw Malachi, knowing he must have been the one that hit him now. He hissed, flashing his fangs at him and Malachi did the same, his eyes turning red as he attacked again.Being faster, Edward easily averted the attack but he grabbed onto Malachi’s collar and pulled him back before he ran past him. He delivered a heavy blow on him, causing the man’s head to tilt back and he heard the bone shifting. He flung him up, jumping up to meet him midair and delivering a powerful kick on his stomach, sending the man down with such force that a deep hole was created on the ground where he landed.A high chi
“You can’t win against me, Sean,” Steven yelled. The clouds covered the sky and it was so thick that the little ray of sunlight couldn’t even pass through. The lightening drew and Sean wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth.“You don’t know that, I am still kicking,” he mocked, his fingers tightening on his spear.“That is because I am going easy on you.”“Really, and yet you are limping?” he scoffed.“We are howlers Sean, why are you protecting a nightwalker?”“I am protecting my sister and the mate she has longed for for so long. I am protecting my little nephew who you don’t want to see this world!”“He is a bad egg, he would kill us all!” Steven yelled just as a drop of rain dropped on his face. He wiped it away and glared at the boy in front of him, “you were there, you heard the witch.”“And I am telling you that she lied. Yes, he will be born with those powers she mentioned but I don’t think Selene wants to use him to eradicate her creation. Steven, the dark prince a
“Oh my God,” Aliyah screamed, her hand feeling her stomach immediately as she glanced in shock at the woman with her. “I felt a movement.”Irene rolled her eyes hearing that. “You are like two weeks pregnant, how can you feel a movement?”“I’m serious, Irene, I really felt a movement,” she chuckled, now caressing her stomach. The door suddenly burst open, surprising the two women and they both raised an eyebrow at the man that came barging in. “Is everything okay?” Aliyah had to ask when he did nothing but just scan the whole room with his sharp gaze.“I heard you scream, why?” Edward asked, going to her now to check up on her.Aliyah glanced at Irene and they both chuckled while Irene answered soon after, “Aliyah felt a movement.”Edward frowned at that, “I may not have witnessed pregnancy before but I also know that is not how it works. It’s still too soon,” he squatted beside her and caressed her hair, “are you sure that’s what you felt?”Aliyah rolled her eyes, “I know what I felt
“Are we really going to work with the nightwalkers?” A pack alpha asked.Damien sighed, “we don’t have a choice. To get rid of the vampire prince, we need the help of his kind. You lot need to see how he easily killed Elder Argon and he was a High Howler that had lived for over four hundred years. Imagine your warriors then and how easily they would be killed by him.”“Alpha Damien is right,” a High Howler sat up. “We should not belittle the strength of the Dark prince and also, we just found out that he is not just a nightwalker.”“Not just a nightwalker, what could he be then?” Alpha Ethan asked. He has been hearing stories about Alan’s daughter being mated to the vampire prince, he just couldn’t believe it was true and to think the union ruined his plan of seizing control over the Blue Moon pack. But he doesn’t need to worry now, with this, it won’t be a surprise if the pack ends up being eradicated and with Blue Moon pack gone, Black wind pack would definitely take it’s place.“He
“I have to tell Aliyah. It’s been five days already. No one knows what the High howlers are thinking or even the High chiefs. If she is there, she has to know what is happening and know how to protect herself,” Scarlet said to the man pacing around the room. “Are you even listening to anything I have been saying?”“I heard you honey, but what does telling her change? Her mate is about to be killed and after that, she and her son would follow suit. I think the thing we should be worried about is how to get her to safety,” Alan said.“And that is what telling her would do,” Scarlet replied. “That is what it would change. We can’t just sit back and watch as everything happen. I can’t lose her, Alan, I really can’t. You know how many I have lost already. I can’t lose the only one that stayed and I don’t care what that witch said.”“Calm down,” Alan said, going to her. “As long as they are together, I have every reason to believe that nothing would happen to her. We just have to have faith
“My Lord,” Melissa appeared in the center of what looked like a throne room. She bowed to the man sitting on the throne and looked up at him with a smile. “It is done and it was clear that they bought it.”“Very good, Melissa,” the man smiled. “Now we just have to wait for the tree of death to sprout and once it does, I will get it for you to take to them.” The man sniffled and smiled, “I can almost smell the war.”Melissa sighed. “One more thing my Lord. Argon is dead, I saw his corpse and it looked like he was beheaded.”The man rolled his eyes, “he failed to carry on his end of the deal. He told me he could get the war started and yet, I had to come up with a plan myself. He was no good for me when he was alive, so why should I care of his death?” he chuckled. “Besides, he was the one that wanted to be alpha of alphas. If only he knew I would have killed him right after he had done what I wanted, I am sure he would be happy now that he is dead.”Melissa nodded, she wasn’t surprised
“I will never forgive this, Malachi!” Damien yelled just as someone handed him a blanket to cover himself. “The dark prince has really broken the peace treaty.”“He started it,” Malachi pointed at Argon’s dead body. “He couldn’t just let them leave, why would he do that?”“He was trying to protect the treaty!”“That is not true. The man seems like he really wanted this war. I have seen the way he talks at us, anything about peace is wrong to him. And if you ask me, I’m glad he is dead. If the prince hadn’t killed him, I would have done so myself.”Damien glared at the man after hearing what he said. “Malachi, you are in support?”‘Everyone is in support’ Sean wanted to say. If the prince hadn’t killed the man, he would have done it too if he could. The man has been getting on his nerves since yesterday and there was no better way to end the meeting than over his death. He could tell that his alpha was in support too when he saw the man’s secret smile and the Luna’s as well.“I think w
