Aliyah stared at her as she remembered what Edward said last night. ‘Irene would not always be there to help and I will hate to depend on someone to save you,’ She sighed and licked her lips, understanding that the woman was not a threat. Her hand returned back to normal as she looked around, walking to stand in front of the woman who has not taken her eyes off of her again. “How long have you known Edward?”“Wow, that is the first thing you had to ask?” Irene rolled her eyes. “Well, that is a pretty long time,” she said and chuckled when she saw the girl’s gaze on her. “Don’t worry, my days of crushing on him are over,” she smiled, “over seven hundred years is enough time to get over a crush.”“Seven hundred what?”Irene laughed softly and dropped a dead toad inside the big bowl in front of her and Aliyah tried not to look disgusted. “Yes, it’s pretty long isn’t it? Well, I have known The Prince for nine hundred and two years to be exact. He found me when I was fifteen and sadly, he
Aliyah furrowed her brows, “I don’t understand.”“I know,” Irene said, “I’m still telling the story aren’t I?” Aliyah chuckled, embarrassed at herself, “I’m sorry.”“It’s okay,” Irene said, scooping up her mixture and bringing it to her face to have a sniff, “hmm, one more ingredient is missing, the tongue of a deer.” She placed the spoon back in the bowl and went to her drawers, searching for something. Aliyah watched her in fascination and slight disgust when she brought a jar and opened it, bringing out something that definitely looked like a tongue. She placed the jar back and walked to the bowl again, dumping the tongue inside it. She placed her hand on the bowl and closed her eyes. Seconds later, the bowl started boiling and she opened her eyes. She stirred and scooped another potion up and inhaling it, she sighed in content, “ah, now it’s ready.” She reached for a cup sitting beside her and scooped some potion inside it and handed it to her, “here you go.”“Not in th
“The Dark Prince agreed,” Irene said, putting the chicken in the oven and setting the time. “Women were the last thing in his mind. However, unbeknownst to him and the princess, a servant had seen the princess sneaking into the prince’s chamber and had followed and therefore related their discussion to his master, the first prince. Princess Mariah true to her words told her father to postpone her wedding till a year’s time and when asked why, she said she wanted to court her groom and get to know him before becoming his wife. Her answer sounded reasonable and so her father agreed. Determined to win the heart of her love, Princess Mariah started learning how to cook and when she could, she started cooking for the prince twice in a month and taking it to him.”“Wow,” Aliyah said again and Irene laughed.“Wow indeed,” she replied. “She would pluck the freshest fruits and put in the basket along with her baked foods and take to her Prince. The Prince thought she was wasting her time but h
Aliyah gasped when she finally understood what the woman was talking about. “I met Edward in the human realm and…” she paused, her eyes widening in shock. “The woman last night, she called me…” she couldn’t finish her sentences.Irene smiled, knowing the young girl has already figured it all out. “You two started the war and Selene wants you two to end it. She created a whole new world of new creatures based on a love story and her love for a happily ever after. The only problem now is that I don’t think this is about a lost love anymore. There is something more to it, a darkness brewing in the middle of this sweet love story.”“What are you talking about?”“The woman last night was a witch, aye?” Irene asked. “The witches and demons have always hated Selene’s guts and they hated her creatures the most. While one feed on humans, the other was a mockery to humans and they fear that with their very existence, the humans will know about them as well and they hated it. For the past days,
“I knew I would find you here,” Steven said to the boy fighting with a dummy. “Go easy on it, it’s not the reason for your frustration.”“What are you still doing here? Shouldn’t you be gone by now that your brother is fine?” Sean asked irritated.If Steven was offended the way he spoke to him, he didn’t show it. “Now you talked of it, that’s what I came to tell you. We are leaving tomorrow.”“Safe journey,” Sean said as he slashed his sword on the dummy and kicked it with such force that the stick keeping the dummy standing broke off and the inanimate flew for a while before crashing on the ground.“Wow,” Steven said, really impressed. “With that force you might be able to beat the Original,” he chuckled. Sean didn’t say anything to him as he marched to another dummy to begin his fight anew. “They are not your equal match, how about you fight someone your own size, maybe it would make you feel better getting your ass kicked,” he said, grabbing a sword and approaching him in stealth m
“What now?” Irene asked the man sneaking out of the room.Edward sighed and closed the door gently before walking to sit on the couch. Irene followed him, sitting opposite him with her arms crossed on her chest. “Thank you for looking after her.”“It’s nothing. Watching over her for a few hours cannot compare to the ninety years you watched over me,” she shrugged. “But I’m serious, Edward, what now?”“I will protect her if it’s the last thing I do,” he answered.Irene noticed the difference in the man and she asked, “What is it?”“I can’t help but feel like I failed her once. Like a long time ago, but that can’t be true, I have only known her for a month and yet, it feels like years.”Irene smiled at that. “You hate her, how can you have failed her before?”“I don’t hate her Irene,” he frowned.“Oh, then you love her?” she raised an eyebrow, “isn’t a month too small to fall in love?”“I want to go to the rogues field,” he avoided her question. “I want to know if I will see him. The on
A man stood in front of a big polished gate. He closed his eyes and when he opened them again, they looked determined as he reached forward to press the bell on the wall.“Elder Maximus, I will think twice before ringing that bell,” a voice said behind him and he turned to see five of his pack soldiers.Maximus smiled. “I should have known. It is typical of Alan to put a tail on me.”“Alpha did it for the future of everyone, including yours. You should think twice of what you are about doing. Your single action now can ruin many lives and even so, bring chaos upon Blue Moon pack. The last pack that involved the High howlers in a fight was eradicated. Do you wish that for the Blue moon pack?”“No,” Maximus shook his head. “You are wrong, I am trying to protect the Blue Moon pack, I gave my sons to prove that. But Alan has become stubborn and has forgotten the Alpha code.”“That’s a lie, he is living the alpha code. He is protecting Aliyah, our pack member.”“He is protecting his daught
“Edward,” Aliyah called softly, sensing the dangerous aura that was surrounding him, “it’s me,” she whispered, hoping he could hear the hidden meaning in her words.Edward stared at the girl in front of him, her long deep brown hair cascaded down her shoulders like waterfall and then the face from his dream last night flashed in his mind and slowly it merged with the one in front of him. A stinging pain in his head made him take a step back and he winced as he grabbed his head in his hands and squatted down.“Edward,” Aliyah called worriedly, squatting down in front of the man and placing her hands on his, surprised that she couldn’t feel whatever pain he was going through.Edward winced and grunted softly in pain as memories flashed in his mind, all about one girl, when she was laughing, when she was smiling, when she was twirling in circles in the garden and the flays of her skirt surrounded her, making her look like a blossoming flower and he could remember that he had stood in his
“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
