Though i read every comment but a review and vote, and share will be appreciated. Yours truly Danish
Reed’s pov “No killing!” I said through the mind link to my warriors. Hopping out of the narrow portal and onto the fucking nowhere. I don’t have any slightest idea where I am. Maybe it is witches’ land, or maybe the rogues’ hideout, or maybe both. I couldn’t exactly pin point but there was something bad about this place. All my senses were screaming at me to run away from here. It was natural survival instinct of animal. One by one, my warriors walked out and stood behind me in their wolf form, eyes trained on the patrol guards in the forest a mile away. The early morning sun filed in around the monstrous trees, hit the forest floor and created shadows. This lush green will turn into fucking bloodbath soon because I wasn’t leaving without my fucking mate. I’d search for her even if it’s the end of me. I am done with all the plotting. All the schemes. All the mind games. Now I need her. I need her by my side and I am not taking an answer for no. Asher stood next to me with his head
Reed’s pov I am sure there must have been a time when I had nice dreams. Maybe when I lived in palaces and mansions but maybe not. That was all stress. And then there was you. Did I dream when you were here? I was too focused on our daylight hours. I never wanted to sleep in those days and now here I am again… Never wanting to sleep. Not until I found you. Not until I live the good dream again. Not until you are back… I run in the direction my heart points. My heart beats hundred times per second as if it ran down a marathon. My mind races, eating all the brain cells. But right now everything is dull for me. I don’t care for anything except her. “All of this for one puny mate?” “Shut up alpha could hear you!” “So what? I am not the only one who thinks like that.” Can hear the voices of my people through the pack link. I can feel their anger, their frustration, their resentments. A smile plastered on my face on its own as a single tear rolled down my cheek. “Where was this?
Reed’s pov “Alpha Michael Kross, the self-proclaimed rogue king, hiding behind a girl I see. You have stooped down this low… You are almost unrecognizable.” I hollered as I tried to look for my mate in the dark basement. In response I only get a loud growl. “I never thought you would be such a coward to kidnap a woman and on the top of that you begged witches for help. That’s surely makes it pathetic.” I don’t know why but I couldn’t see a damn thing except for Michael standing in the middle of the basement. I could easily smell his scent but I can’t pin point the location to where she was. My mate, Emmy. One second ago, I was hundred percent sure she was there and now I don’t know where she is now. What kind of twisted sorcery it is? I am hundred percent sure, it was the work of Ravenna. she kept playing with my mind and now she lured me in. This has to be the fucking longest day of my life. My mind was now at my limit and so was my damn body. I wanted nothing but to hug my littl
Esma’s pov (One hour ago) I winced as I tried to move my wrists. Trying to loosen them up from the ropes. Though they were laced with silver and wolfsbane, I was getting numb to pain. It may be the alpha blood flowing in my veins that was keeping me alive all this time. If I was a normal wolf, I would have died long ago. I winced once more as the blood slowly oozing out from my wrists. Or maybe not. The silver was started to get mixed with my blood now. The ropes had already started eating my skin due to silver and wolfsbane. It was acting like an acid for me. Michael was out as soon as he heard commotion outside, I know better than anyone who was behind it. He was here. I knew it. he will find me. Reed. I sensed him before I saw him. I know he was here. He was coming for me. Slowly the distance between was getting shorter with every passing every second. “You think he will save you?” I heard the voice in the dark. It was cold, devoid of any kind of emotion. Just empty. I tried t
Esma’s pov I quickly opened the gate, it was the final obstacle in between me and the long-awaited freedom I was seeking. How many days it has been? One door and I will soon in the arms of my mate. Loving and comforting as much as the thought was the reality was equally cruel. My wolf whimpered, and I knew she still wanted him and his wolf. They were fated mates after all. In the distance, I could hear the collective growls of wolves. I was quick to open the door. My blood turned cold seeing the horrific sight in front of my eyes. The blood was spilled on the ground. Countless dead bodies were lying on the ground, cold, lifeless. I gulped loudly as I see a rogue wolf scurried through the woods toward the direction of the woods, a trail of blood following him. He stopped immediately; I know he must have sensed me. He turned towards me slowly like it was painful for him to move and I know by the first look he was gravely injured. He bare his canines at me as soon as our eyes meet. C
Esma’s pov “I said Kneel.” I commanded in the alpha voice. the wolves standing in front of me flinched from my command. I stand tall trying to intimidate them with my alpha aura. I still had the alpha blood coercing in my veins. Normal wolves wouldn’t have a chance to stand let alone fight with me on equal par. Now they have three roads… One, they could kneel in front of me as I commanded. Two, they could resist and fight which is very difficult for them as I have finally released my aura. I could see them getting goose bumps. The hair on their fur are straightening and they can’t do anything about it. The beasts inside them know their places. Third was to flee and avoid blood loss. I had my bet on the third option. I don’t want blood loss either and after what Asher said I just can’t take them lightly. I quickly gathered my energy and transformed in my wolf. We can never tell what they have in their arsenal. I let my wolf take control over my body as she stand straight on the gr
(Esma’s Pov) “Did you get any report on him?” I asked Asher. I was standing in front of an abandoned building. It was now our hideout. “No. nothing. As if he is disappeared in the thin air. I can’t trace him; he didn’t leave any mark.” He said and I can feel the annoyance in his voice. He was pissed at himself. We feel nothing but helpless. There’s a feeling of dread, helplessness I have been feeling since I have attended the council of alphas. Everything went downhill from that moment. “Have you tried to track his scent?” he asked finally after a beat. I nodded my head. “I did. But something is blocking our connection.” I said and just tried now, only to show my pathetic face in front of him. “We will find him Luna. If it means to the end of the world. You have my word for that.” he said and I can see the determination in his eyes. “He is lucky, he have you.” I commented and he smiled for the first time in front of me and oh boy! if he was not good looking. “No, he is lucky, h
Esma’s pov “Quick.” I ordered August while I jumped down the stairs of the house to the basement. We were approximately ten minutes away from that room they held me captive. “Asher?” I called out his name in the mind link. He responded in a second. “Yes Luna.” He said. I could feel him getting panic though the pack link. “How many are you?” I asked straight to the point. By my tone he must have noticed it too that I am in no mood to kill time. “Excluding the injured ones, roughly a more than four hundred wolves.” He said without missing a beat. “Okay, come with two hundred of your most trusted men to the basement where we held her captive.” I said and finally opened the gate of our house. “Did you tried to call out father through the mind link?” I asked as we make our way downstairs. He nodded but his eyes looked disheartened and I already know what his answer was. “I tried but something is blocking our connection.” He said and I swear the hair on my neck straightened in fear
Esma’s pov“You are certain they will be there.” I nodded and look him into the eyes.“Then, let’s get those bastards for what they have to done to us.” Dumeny growled.I clutched August’s hand in mine as I said yes too.“I have a plan.” Dumeny said in the end.“What kind of plan?” I asked looking at his face. now that I notice him, he have grown a quite in the few days since I saw him. his eyes, they were no longer belong to a carefree man whom I once used to know.They have a serious sense of duty and responsibility. Plus, I don’t know I have a ere feeling coming from his side, I don’t know how to put it in words, but he has changed a lot.In terms of power, he was already in par with an alpha. He might be powerful than his father.I rarely find myself getting out unscathed if fought against him. he has grown rapidly since last time I saw him.“We have to attack them simultaneously. Just like they did. We have to make them think and divert their attention on someone or something and
Esma’s pov“Hey Dumeny. Long time no see.” I said as I saw him standing in the middle of the hall in my house.Last time I saw him, it was the alpha’s meeting and after that I was kidnapped by Ravenna and the witches.I never heard from him after that. Hell, I didn’t saw him after that.“Same for me.” he said and out of sudden he rushed towards me and pulled me in his arms.“I am sorry you have to go through this all by your own.” he said and hugged me tightly. I can tell he was genuinely concerned for me and I hugged him back. I really missed a friend.We ended the hug and he sit in the other side of the table.August soon returns with the beer cans and I rolled my eyes.My brother knows me best. He reads my mind. He passed me the can which I took happily. He sat beside me and we just enjoyed our beers for a while.“Look Emmy. I know this is not the right time for me to ask, but you can please tell me about the day you were kidnapped?” Dumeny breaks the silence and I looked at August
Reed’s povI just stand there as Andrew was in hurry to look after Ravenna. I have never seen this man caring about anyone except for his mate and of course his children. But I was also his son. the son whom he sent assassins to take care of.The son who lost his mother, and for what reason? Because his mate come to know about the existence of his affair?“Call the doctor, will you?” he shouted at me and I sighed.“We are in the abandoned land of mine, in the middle of nowhere, the city is three hours from here and I have already called for the doctor. But he won’t be here before the morning.” I said and he just look disdain.The weather is fucked up and all the roads are closed. How much one could try, the doctor would only come by morning.“That fucking bastard. I swear I will kill him with my own hands.” he cursed out aloud and suddenly my chest hurts.This man right here, was concern for someone totally stranger to him, he was concerned for the witch and was cursing out a god? Th
Reed’s povI stared at the moon. I was the wolf who was chasing the moon. I was nothing but a shadow casted by the moon. A shadow only able to come in presence of the source of light.To me the moon has always been the light I was chasing.“Lost in thoughts?” I didn’t want to look back to know whose voice it was. I clenched my jaw tightly as I keep on staring in front of me.Andrew walked inside the room and I heard his footsteps coming closer to me. my whole body tensed up. My heart started to beat faster. Out of fear? Out of surprise? Out of idea of fighting?I don’t know the reason. Maybe all three of them. Never in my life I have ever been able to win against Andrew, my father. Yes, I killed him. I killed him with my own hands and if granted the same opportunity twice, I will not waste a single breath before killing him again.I know he hates me. I hate him too.Suddenly, the sound of the chafing of his shoes stopped and I sighed and finally turned back to look at him.The face of
Esma’s povRavenna’s words kept ringing in my head like an old stuck cassette.“Because you still have some unfinished business.”I didn’t believe what I just saw. I mean I know Ravenna was up to something. I know she was powerful. She was crazy enough to fight us but I never thought for a second, she could bring someone dead back alive and that to Reed’s father. Seriously? Reed’s father for suck’s sake? He was the royalty.He was the direct descendant of the king Lycan. He was supposed to be dead. he was killed by Reed. And the witches. He was known as the most powerful alpha of his pack around the world. he was the epitome of power and royalty. And he was bought back to life by sacrificing witch’s bodies.No wonder we didn’t find a trace of them. they were killed by our Pack but to offer their bodies as a sacrifice in order to bring back Andrew? What Ravenna was thinking?And where is Reed fits into all that. why kidnapped him? I finally looked in front of me and found Damien sitting
Esma’s pov“Child of the moon. You have faced countless hurdles across your way but you didn’t waver.” “You have a soul of a warrior and an unwavering spirit. You will the key to open his heart, his darkness.”“I surely Hope, because hope is what makes us more human. You have my blessing Esma Rockwood.” I gasped and opened my eyes.“What was that?” I was sure it was the voice of Amara. I could still hear her voice in the back of my head. or was I just hallucinating. It was a dream.I was in the complete darkness, there was nothing but dark and then there was that voice peering through the darkness. making its way.Hope. Isn’t it a strange word.The dawn breaks out as I yawned and looked out the window in front of my room. Asher was still fast asleep; I could hear his heartbeat across the door. Asher was given the next room beside me.He must be tired as hell. I was tired too but whenever I closed my eyes, the silver-grey eyes of Amara popped up in front of me. Her eyes drawing me, pe
Esma’s povMy mouth fell open as I laid my eyes on yet another beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. It all started with Diana, the witch. She was the perfect epitome of true beauty. Perfect black hair, purple blue eyes and the fair skin, people could die for.Or that I used to think until I saw Ravenna. And then I met Hecate and boom, I was smitten by her beauty. I was awe-struck. Then came the moon goddess and Roxy and hell even Damien.Now I don’t know if I should add another entry in the Miss beauty contest. Amara. I mean who named these people? Ravenna, Amara, Diana? They sound like fucking aristocrats and I am just a lowly humble peasant.Amara just hugged Damien. Although I don’t know if I could call it a hug or not, she and him were embracing each other for another long minute.It didn’t take me long enough to know what Amara meant to Damien. Amara pulled away from him and looked at his face, then her surroundings.“Where are we?” she asked.Damien looked flustered for t
He started walking towards the other door, opposite from the one we came from.“Follow me.” he ordered and we didn’t even want to ask where he was taking us.We followed him silently into the darkness.He walked in front of us. Damien. The god of chaos. All the good things and worse, all die with him whenever he put his eyes on them. For some reason I don’t know, although his back was huge and straight, I don’t know but he looked like he was carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders.There was an immerse sadness in his eyes and anger. Anger which could consume everything within.I want to ask him. I want to know. Why does the man who is one of the great gods of this world. Who defeated the unrivalled within the blink of an eye look so small and pitiful?The smell of a beast exudes from his soul, the smell of blood, oil and steel as well as violence and pent-up anger. The colour of hatred. In deep whirlpool of numerous emotions. Within that lies immense sadness…He finally stopped in fro
Esma’s pov“Here I go.” I said to myself as Lilith opened the door for us. I have been face to face with two primordial gods in last twenty four hours and Make it alive own my own.The door make a loud unpleasant noise as it makes the way for us. The room was same, dark and cold.Me and Asher, we walked inside, I could feel mine and Asher’s heartbeat quickened as we entered the room. We have been asked to bought the necklace from the place we never thought we could enter yet survive.The odds were not in our favour. The stakes were high. We were dealing with something we didn’t have any clue about. I turned my face to look at Asher. He smiled assuringly saying he is there for me. Just like he has always been.The inside of the room was completely different from the other rooms and the hallway in architecture. It was old, huge and gives off different vibe, just like Alfred Hitchcock movies.The torches that hung on the wall suddenly start to light up one by one. I watch in surprise as t
