AMBER’S POINT OF VIEW I walked down the street just because I do not want to go home yet. I do not want to meet the disapproving gaze of my brother Nathan, I do not want to meet the tormenting silence of my sister Valencia so I just roam the street, enjoying the calmness of the evening time, the slowness that engulfed the streets of the outlands in the evening time.I walked down the street enjoying the breeze on my face, enjoying the whooshing sound of the wind as it brings with it a refreshing coolness carrying stray nylon bags and other carelessly dumped refuse along with itself.It is about to rain, the sky is starting to become a darker version of itself, most people would seek shelter but I do not care for shelter right now, I just want to keep walking down the empty street, i just want to keep feeling the way I do right now. Free, light, at ease. I just want to keep feeling heady like I can float at any moment, nature just has a way of making life feel a little bit more bearab
NICOLE’S POINT OF VIEW That whinny little brat Hazel will not stop crying and being upset since she got back from the hospital. This attitude has been up for days, it is starting to get really annoying, it has been really annoying, I wish she somehow did not make it out of the hospital, I wish that my attempts had succeeded then we wouldn’t be having this problem… she would have been long gone, mourned and forgotten. The spoilt bratty princess keeps asking for her nanny Valenci, keeps rejecting food and now she has locked herself up in her room for some minutes now. We are standing outside her room door and by we I mean her new nanny Lisa who is being berated by an angry Dario, my maid Irene and some guards who are trying to break down the sturdy door. I am really angry right now, pissed even, Dario and I are supposed to go out today, today is supposed to be a day of fun for me. Dario and I are supposed to be at a fancy restaurant right now, Derrick Fleinn a huge celebrity just ope
AMBER’S POINT OF VIEW I hold my head in pain not even daring to open my eyes because I know the pain will be increased by the intensity of light in my eyes, I really hope that I had left the window blinds down yesterday before leaving for work because if not then I’ll have to make my way to my window with my eyes closed and do that. Ugh! Why did I think it would be wise to drink so much! I should have stopped at just one shot, why did I continue?! And now I am receiving the consequence of my action. My body aches so much it feels like it’s on fire, my throat feels like it has been through something, I am really hungry but yet I don’t think eating will be a good idea right now because my stomach feels queasy if I try to eat I might just throw up and that wouldn’t be very cutsie.Oh my head, it feels heavy and hurts really badly, why does it hurt so much? Ugh! it feels like my head was taken out and then replaced with a very big heavy bowling ball. Hang overs are the worse!‘You bro
DELANCY’S POINT OF VIEWIt is ironic how one can be a runaway one day and a Luna the next. How one can go from being homeless, with completely ripped clothes, eyes widened in hunger and loneliness and dejection, legs wearing the dusty marks of intense travel, skin shrill and shriveled…it is ironic how one can move from that to being sheltered in one of the most beautiful palace on Earth awaiting the crown of the great and mighty Silver lake.I do not deserve this, I am just fortunate to have this immense grace that is to be bestowed on me by alpha Alexandro. I am still in awe of the favor that has been granted upon me by the moon goddess, still in shock about how quickly my life has been turned for the better.Just two days ago I had to flee from Tombury, my kingdom, my home. Just two days ago I had to flee from my stepbrother and stepmother in order to escape their horrible request that would have brought dishonor to my dead father, just two days ago I had to leave the one place I ha
DELANCY’S POINT OF VIEW “You have to decide if you still want to go on with the ceremony or not after I am done telling you this.” Alpha Alexandro said looking me in my eyes with a extreme measure of seriousness. The air around the temple went from being festive to serious quickly. I looked at the priestess in front of me, she looked back at me, I can tell that she is as confused as I am about what is happening.“What do you have to tell me?” I asked with my eyes narrowed in slight anger and irritation, he could have done this yesterday, he had the whole of yesterday to tell me whatever it is he want to say, doing that at this time in front of the priestess that is about to marry us does not make any sense. But yet again maybe he has a reason for not telling me yesterday, my baba often did things… made decisions that I did not understand at first but after sometime these decisions started to make absolute sense to me, maybe it is the same with Alpha Alexandro? I have learnt to trust
VALENCIA’S POINT OF VIEW Having literally no time to dwell on the fact that Alexandro, the father of my unborn child, has just gotten married to someone else I headed for the front door of the house eager to see who this person from Alpha Dario is. Eager to hear what they have to say to me.Why has Alpha Dario sent someone to me? What is this person going to say to me? I thought to myself.I got to the sitting room and then the door.“What did they say they want?” I asked Adam who looks as bored and nonchalant as always .“I don’t know.” He shrugged and then walked away back into his room to probably get ready to go see a friend since he hardly stays in the house anymore. He is avoiding something, we are all avoiding something, everything is about to crash and burn, the thin ice is about to break and none of us want to be here to watch it happen.Amber and Nathan have not yet still spoken, we all walk around egg shells here trying not to trigger anything, we are all just trying not t
DELANCY’S POINT OF VIEWThe way he smiles just makes me want to risk everything and give in to this new feelings that I am starting to develop for him.The way he smiled at me with not just his lips and eyes but his whole heart made me feel like the most important person in the world. It was the most genuine of smiles, the most unquantifiable kindness, the most beautiful of smiles that would surely make anyone melt at his feet… anyone including me.It is getting complicated, these feelings that I have now. These feelings that I had promised that I would not have… promised? Like I can control my heart and its shenanigans, like I can tell my rebellious heart how to feel, what to feel, when to feel. I wish I could… i really do but unfortunately my rebellious heart does not listen to me, no matter how much I try to keep it in line, it just ends up doing whatever it want no matter how much my brain and I protests. No matter what my brain and I say, my heart ends up taking over and just do
DELANCY’S POINT OF VIEW“I know I made a promise to you, I know I told you that I will just be your Luna and nothing more but I am ashamed to say that I have fallen for you.” I said looking away from him, not daring to meet his gaze.“Is there any way that this love of mine can be reciprocated?” I added with my head bowed low shyly. he must think I am pathetic. He probably thinks me stupid for confessing my feelings to him in this way but I cannot help it, it’s like I have to tell him how I feel just so I can… I don’t know! I don’t know what I am doing! I probably shouldn’t be here but I cannot help it, I think about him all the time, I cannot get him out of my head. Maybe there is a chance just a small tiny chance that he feels the same way about me? Maybe we are maybe meant to be and I have to be the first one to take a step in that direction? Maybe he likes me back in secret but is just too shy to say it. ‘He doesn’t like you Delancy! He made that clear to you already, You are jus
VALENCIA’S POINT OF VIEW “What the fuck are you doing here bitch!” Lady Nicole yelled at me, her face scrunched up in rage, hatred and whatever horrible emotions she has towards me. Instinctively, Hazel’s nanny took my baby out of my arms, I felt really grateful to her for this because Lady Nicole lurched towards me and soon enough her hand landed on my face in a slap.“I’m not going to let you ruin my life with Dario! He is mine, you hear? Mine!” She yelled as she tried to slap me again. I don’t know what it was probably the realization that I have absolutely nothing to lose, probably the sudden realization that I now have a baby to protect, I don’t know what it was but something clicked, the thumping in my chest, the rage coursing through my vein, the sadness and anger from everything that had happened mixed up and I held her hand in place, stopping it from making contact with my face.“Don’t you dare Nicole! Don’t ever lay your filthy hands on me ever again!” I yelled as I pushed
VALENCIA’S POINT OF VIEW “You can live with us in the palace.” Alpha Dario said again with a smile, I looked from Amber to him unsure of what to say or do, I don’t want to leave the people I have known to be my family since I moved into the Outland, I don’t want to leave Amber, Nathan and Adam. “Thank you for saving my baby, it means the whole to me… but I think I’ll just go home with my family.” I said gesturing to Adam, Amber and Nathan. Family. That is one word… one thing I have always wanted, a family, people to call home. A smiled at the thought of this, my aunty always said that I will never be part of a family, that I will die cold and alone because of my curse but apparently she was wrong I have a family now, Amber, Nathan and Adam are my family. “I will go home with my family.” I said again just because i like the sound of the word family. “I’m sorry Valencia.” Amber started, she was fiddling with her hands and avoiding my eyes, I knew immediately that something was wrong
SHEILA’S POINT OF VIEW I held her in my arms with contempt on my face, the hatred spread within me, I could hardly contain it. I hate her so much, this tiny baby in my arms!How did she even survive? Why did she survive? I wish she had died! I wish she had not survived! It would have made things a lot more easier, I would not have had to look at her and see the face of my arch enemy, I would not have had to pretend that she is mine even though I know she isn’t. She was born out of my womb but this abomination is not my child, she is Sheila Mckylie child…Sheila’s child who had developed in my womb after I took her body.I successfully killed Sheila, I successfully took over her body, if only I had known about her pregnancy, if only I had known of this abominable werewolf-witch offspring she had in her womb then I would have not gone ahead with my plan.“Ma’am do you want to breastfeed her now?” The smiling doctor asked, I glared at him. Held on the baby’s blanket a lot more tightly, w
AMBER’S POINT OF VIEW“Please save my baby.” I heard her mutter weakly, my eyes fluttered open, I was sitting by her side, near her bed on a small chair, I had spent the previous hour just staring at her wondering what we should do, who we should decide to save. The doctor had said it earlier as if this would be the simplest decision to make in the world, like picking between mother or child would be as easy as picking between cereal or toasts for breakfast.I don’t want to pick, none of us want to, we want them both alive but according to the doctor not picking would mean condemning both of them to death because although the baby will gain all the strength he will need to survive, he would still be killed by the venom that would be released by his mother’s body. The venom that a werewolf’s body releases a few moments before death.“Save my baby… please Amber,” Valencia said weakly, her eyes held on to mine in a very feeble clasp as she stared into my eyes. I gasped startled by the so
VALENCIA’S POINT OF VIEW I feel like I am drowning! I gasp! I hold my breath! I do my best to swim but nothing is working! It’s like I keep sinking, the more I try to stay afloat the more I sink, it’s like I can’t do anything to keep the current from taking me, like I am completely helpless, like I cannot stay afloat no matter how hard I try to. I do not care much for myself. It does not matter to me If I survive or not, it does not matter if I die or live, I would not be so upset if this deep unclear water claims me. No. All I care about is the baby in my hands. My baby, all I care about is getting him safely to shore. I hold him above the water as much as I can. He is whimpering, crying, probably scared. The tears escape my eyes because I cannot do anything to comfort him, I am deep under water struggling to keep him afloat, my hands are held up with him on them, I do not let go of him, I do not bring my hands down no matter how much I feel like I am about to drown. I gasp and tr
AMBER’S POINT OF VIEW “Help, somebody! Please anybody!” I yelled as I stood outside the charm shop, looking for anyone that would help us. No one is on the road right now, the street is completely diserted. People hardly come to this part of the Outland, it is most just diserted. I cried as I helplessly walked back into the charm shop. What will I do?! Moon goodness, please help us! Please don’t let Valencia die… please save my sister. I cried, I hate how helpless I feel right now, I want to help Valencia, I want to… I want nothing to happen to her, she is so so important to me, fuck! I have to do something! But what… what can I do?! I have called my brothers repeatedly but they are both not picking up! There’s no car around or even people around for me to beg to take us to the hospital! In utter frustration, I pushed the stray hair from my face as I walked back into the shop.“Valencia, please open your eyes. Please please please I beg of you!” The tears will not stop coming down f
