AUTHOR’S POV It was finally time.Lily thought as she smiled at the beautiful reflection of herself in the mirror.She loved him so much and she was glad that at last she would get to spend forever with him.“It’s time, my love. Time to finally start your own family.” Mr Patrick said as he fixated his eyes on her with his palms placed on her tensed shoulders.“I’m nervous, Father.” She said truthfully. “Did you feel this way too? I mean with Mom?” She asked out of curiosity even though she knew what the answer would be because every one knew for sure that her Father always loved her Mother even till the point of death.“Of course, darling.” He responded and let out an heartwarming soft laugh as his mind flooded with the memories of the past. The best thing of his life. Only that every day with Jane was the best day of his life.“Would you find it weird if I told you that I pooped my pant just minutes before the aisle walk?” He paused to laugh some more, his eyes filled with warmth a
AUTHOR’S POV She sat there, staring at them as they did her thing while anger surged through her because she despised Lily. She hated that she had to get everything good and had things at her disposal. She couldn’t bear seeing the smile that Lily had on because it only made her stomach clench the more.Deep down she knew she had to do it. She had to wipe off the smile she had on so she did it, raising her voice as she made her way to the front.“Stop the wedding.” She said again, this time her voice louder as she watched everyone turn their heads her way to check if she really meant it.“What are you doing, Beatrice?” She heard Patrick, her husband, say as he made his way towards her to pull her off the stage. She knew what he was about to do but she refused to let him. She refused to let them both lie to this innocent Male just like they had done all these while.“Don’t do anything stupid.” Patrick warned sternly as he sent her a hard glare then grabbed her arm.“Leave me, Patrick.
ELEANOR’S POV I stared at my stomach as I placed my left palm over it because I was starting to get so fond of my baby and I could feel the connection we shared. His presence made me feel alive again and I was so glad that he was mine.Maybe Cruz’s as well but I chose not to dwell on that. Damon had told me to stay away from anything that makes me sad and ensured to remind me to be happy. He had turned out to be a way better big brother that I thought he would be. This was the fifth basket of fruits that he had brought to me in a space of two weeks and the act softened my heart. Although every time I tried to tease him and call him caring, he would remind that he was only doing that because Nana would scold us both and also force me to use more bitter herbs.“Do I really have to take that?” I asked, bringing up my eyes to look at her. I could tell that she had gotten more wrinkles than before.I watched her raise her brows at me.“You ask me that every time even though the response
CRUZ’S POV I was a coward. A big one because I couldn’t even bring myself to drive off the cliff. For an unknown reason, I felt like I had to stay alive, I just had to. I didn’t want to think about how El would feel if she ever heard that I tried killing myself. She always told me I was strong and right now I believed her.I think I’m falling in love with you.Her words reverberated in my head causing me to drag in a shaky breathe.A part of me wished that I had responded and told her how I felt but it was late now. Too late to make amends.Reviving the car engine, I stirred the wheel sideway as I turned towards the road and continued my ride home.Different thoughts ran through my mind consuming every bit of it and I could only come to one conclusion and that was that Lily had to go.Driving into the compound, I parked in a safe place then headed inside, directly to my room. The house felt empty and that meant that they were yet home. I went directly into my room and threw myself o
AUTHOR’S POV Lily let another tears flow down her swollen cheeks as her eyes aches terribly. She still couldn’t believe that her best day had turned into a nightmare. It had been a day already and she hasn’t seen Cruz since then because she couldn’t bring herself to face him. She couldn’t stand to see the sadness his eyes held even though she felt sorry.“You can’t keep doing this to yourself.” She heard her Father say but she paid him no audience because whatever happened was his fault. He had told her to keep it to herself, told her that he would never accept her for what she was.Half werewolf and half witch.Her late Mother was a witch and somehow they had decided her future even before she could have a say in it.“Lily, you need to brace yourself and face him.” He informed, his right palm on her shoulder while her face remained buried in the pillow she held between her legs.Her Father had informed her that he canceled the wedding and wanted nothing to do with her anymore.“I ca
ELEANOR’S POV“Damon!” I yelled aloud as I stood still in total darkness and heard the vacuum echo the name louder, but no response came forth.Squinting my eyes and hoping that I might see in the dark, I tried to make my way forward, but somehow, I couldn’t as I remained glued to that one spot.“Ha…vi…nah…” I heard a chilly breeze whisper as it blew past, and soothing laughter followed.Still trying to wrap my head around who it was, a light shone from nowhere to land on a space right in front of me.“Havinah!” The familiar female voice called out, and this time, it was clearer.“Mum!” I whispered, tears forming in my eyes and my vision blurring.No response came except a loud ring that caused me to yell a little as I covered my ears and eyes hard, hoping the pain it came with would pass.Suddenly, everything came to a still. The air got warmer, and I felt a sense of peace surround me.“Open your eyes, Havinah.” I heard Mother say, and I gradually did as told.My eyes took in the bea
ELEANOR’S POV“Damon! My baby!” I wept, my heart continuing to ache while my eyes stayed glued to my hand.I felt him kneel beside me, his left arm wrapping around my shoulder.“I don’t understand, El. What's going on?” He asked out of confusion, causing me to raise my eyes to look at him.Was he kidding me?“The blood, Damon. I'm bleeding!” I yelled angrily, the back of my throat aching, and watched him look at my legs.“No, you are not. Did you get injured somewhere?” He asked, and I felt my rage heighten.“How the hell can't you see…” My words trailed off the moment I realized that he was right and I was wrong.The blood!It was gone.It was like it was never there.“How? I…” I sauntered and brought up my head to look his way. “I promise you I saw myself bleed. I…” My words trailed off the second he pulled me into a tight embrace and started to pat me back.“I believe you, El. I believe you.” He assured.I let my tears wet his shirt as I poured everything out. All my pains and angu

She couldn't wrap her head around why that would happen. She was the Luna after all. She could not be harmed.The tiny voice in her head reminded her causing her to sigh softly.“It’s time, Luna.” The maid informed and Diana nodded before sending her reflection one last glance before walking away.Today was an important day for the kingdom. It was her daughter’s birthday. There was a feast ongoing and rulers of different packs were there.Her heart continued to thud loudly against her chest while her fingers shook. She was having a speech today and she knew that had to be the only reason she was so unsettled.The guards pushed the doors open and let her into the full room, everyone clattering and dining. “The Queen is here!” The head of guards screamed and everywhere immediately came to a still, their heads t

Since they walked down the aisle and exchanged beautiful vows, since she and Cruz had decided to adopt Dante During the visit to the Farms, Eleanor had stumbled on him looking sad and dirty. After minutes of persuading him, he finally confessed that JoJo, his little sister, had died.The news had made Eleanor’s heart clench tight because she knew how lonely it would feel for him. She immediately took it upon herself to tell Cruz, and he was more than excited to have another child.She rolled the beautiful ring on her finger, and a smile parted her lips. She loved him so much.

ELEANOR’S POVA chilly air brushed past me, causing the hair on my body to stand at alert. My breath hitched in my throat, and my heart started to pound so loud as I watched Damon get closer.Who would have thought that he was the bad guy? “Don’t do anything stupid, Damon, please.” I pleaded, my voice quivering while my eyes stayed glued on the glittering knife he held.“Too late, El. Why use just her when I use you both? When can I finally get to rule the world?” He responded, a smirk curling up his lips.“Let her be, Damon. If you are truly a man, then face me!” Cruz dared, his pitch high as he struggled to set himself free.Damon let out a dry laugh.“A god, Cruz. That is what I will become.” He said pridefully.My eyes stung with tears, and I gently tilted my head sideways to look at the Wolf I had learned to love. My eyes trailed over his facial features, his sharp jaw, and the beauty that lay in his eyes.I knew it was the end. It's too bad that our story would have to end this
AUTHOR’S POV“Who are you?” Eleanor yelled as fear crawled through her, her fingers clutching tightly onto Cruz’s cloth while his arms were wrapped around her.She could feel her heart thumping fast.The strange man let out a long, satisfying laugh.“If it isn't the so-called Dema. How does it feel to be here, Eleanor? Especially after knowing that you can never make it out alive.” He mocked with a slight smile on his face.Cruz couldn't believe his eyes. He refused to comprehend why Eleanor’s neighbors would want to do anything to her.“What the fuck do you want, Fred?” He questioned in an obviously pissed tone.Fred twitched his lips gently.“Soon you shall know. For now, keep walking until I tell you to stop.” He ordered, causing Cruz to clench his teeth.“And if I don't?” He confronted him because, obviously, he couldn't afford to put Eleanor in more danger. At this point, he was more than willing to fight tooth and nail to get out of here.Fred dragged in the air, then chuckled m
AUTHOR’S POVHe went still. His breath hitched in his throat as he stared at her. It felt as though he had just heard the most absurd words ever existing.“How?” He questioned, a little bit scared to mention the word again because he was aware of what the dangers of being one were.Eleanor inflicted gentle pain on her fingers as she thought of the best way to explain because she, too, had no idea.“Talk to me, El!” He ordered, his voice shaking a little.The tears stinging her eyes started to let themselves roll down her cheeks. He curbed her chin up to stare at her confused expression, his other fingers running through his hair.“Fuck!” He cussed because he knew she could get killed if they knew. He was willing to lose the same person he just got back.Her sobs heightened.“I’m sorry, Cruz. I should have told you earlier. I just thought you might…despise me.” She confessed, her heart squeezing hard at each word.The pain spread through her like fire at the thought of losing him beca
AUTHOR’S POVHe could tell her shock by how her face fell. Her hands trembling and it caused him to smirk.“You don’t have to be sorry. I knew he made the first move.” He said, wanting to clear the air and her conscience.Eleanor attempted to say something and that would require spitting him out.“Shh! Say nothing. Just stay still like the obedient little doll you are.” He ordered and El nodded firmly. “That’s my good girl.” He added and started to move in and out. His butt clenching tightly as he did.“Fuck, El. Fuck!” He cussed, his hand holding her head in place while he continued to fuck her mouth faster and deeper.Eleanor’s eyes stung with tears, the pain in my throat getting worse and just like a maniac’s doll, she liked it, every single part of it caused her woman to drool some more.His waist rotating as he went while her fingernails dug into her thighs in order to spread more pain through her. The higher the pain, the better the sex.That she believed.“Fuck you, El.” He cu
ELEANOR’S POV“Sit slowly.” I heard him say and I nodded, bending low as his hands guided me. In the last few hours, the only thing I had done was nod. I couldn’t bring myself to say anything because for a weird reason, I felt shy. Not uncomfortable.My body, up to my breasts, hit the warm water and I felt my nerves relax.“Let me know when you feel uncomfortable, okay?” He said and I nodded briefly. I couldn’t tell what he was doing but soon the smell of Lavender filled my nostrils before his palms came in contact with my body again as he scrubbed it gently. It felt so good to have someone wash me up. Ever since I lost my sight, I had refused to let anyone bathe for me. I always instead of doing that myself and most times it was an uncomfortable thing.His palms found my neck and massaged them briefly, causing a low moan to escape through my pass. My body was at alert. On edge after all these while.My mind drifted briefly to Damon and the look he had on when I stepped out of his
CRUZ’S POV It happened. Finally I found her. Maybe not in the exact same condition but I was still more than pleased to have her back. Scars are what make us beautiful, after all. Plus I was willing and ready to do anything for her to get her sight back.I kept tilting my head and checking her out every minute, just to remind myself that it wasn’t a dream. I could feel my heart swelling with joy and pride.I had a daughter. I mean, we had a beautiful baby girl.Finally I was a Father.Now that I thought about it, I doubted if I was ever going to enough for a Father figure. Ivy was sleeping peacefully in the back while I rode the car with gentleness, not wanting to wake her up. While Eleanor stared ahead into nothingness and it caused my heart to ache.The charmingly bright smile she used to have, was no longer there.“You good, baby?” I broke the silence and watched her nod gently.I wanted to push it further but I don’t. We just met again after some many months so it was normal for
ELEANOR’S POV“Are you sure you are making the right choice?” Damon asked for the thirtieth time in the last hour and now I was no longer sure if I was.“Do you think I’m not?” I threw at him, wanting to know what his own opinion would be.“He abandoned you, El. He can do that anytime and you know that.” He pointed out while I stared at the darkness.Let me be your eyes, El.Cruz’s words replayed in my mind.“What if he is sorry? Sober? Anything?” I said, trying to defend him or was it myself?I needed badly to prove to myself that I wasn’t just some broken female who lacked fatherly love and badly craved it enough to settle for anything.“What if he is not?” Damon attacked and I could sense the worry in his voice, laced with disappointment. “You can’t just run back into his arms, El. Not after all these while.” He added causing me to nod as I bit on my lower lip again.“I can. I want to do this, Dam, please.” I responded and heard him sigh frustratedly before his steps get closer.“I
AUTHOR’S POV“I’m leaving with Cruz.” Eleanor announced the second, Cruz helped her down the stairs, causing Damon to look her way abruptly.“Huh!” He exclaimed, his jaw falling lower than usual out of shock. “I’m leaving with him.” She said again even though deep down a part of her warned her of how this could be a wrong idea.Damon refused to believe all he heard. In fact it had taken him more seconds than usual to process them and soon he was standing in front of her.“I would love to talk to her alone so please step aside.” Damon informed as he sent Cruz a death stare.“Fine then, I will be over there.” Cruz informed and ran his palm over Eleanor’s hair before leaning in. “Call me when you need me.” He whispered and watched her nod gently.Cruz took one last glance at the male who had tried taking his bride and threw him a smirk before walking away. His chest almost exploding with joy.She was back. She was going home with him and now his home would be home again.“You can’t just
