Nirson I had to be plain and honest because I already lost everything and not finding or being able to reach Hermoine bugged me so much.I knew it was going to be hard for my Alpha brothers to believe that I was telling the truth but I had to try all the same."So you helped her escape without being there to receive her, how clever of you." Dante applauded me and I honestly felt stupid.I contemplated letting them in on the rest of the story,"You look like you have more to say," Seth commented."He better do because if I don't get good news, he's fate will be bad news to every ear that hears of it." Zephyr was good at threatening but he was equally good at executing his threats.Zephyr kept his lips pressed in a thin line, "you are wasting my time, I have guests out there to attend to and you've kept us away from the party too Long." He added, his eyes shuffling black and gray.I wondered how I was related to a monster like him." I sent Hermoine to receive her," I admitted, hanging
We were losing out on this one and Yes, I did feel pity for Hermoine as she struggled for her life but I knew it was a lost cause, the injury was deep and the silver damage was much so if Reign was going to successfully heal her, she was going to have to use all her essence. I stood watching for a bit as she glowed with Hermoine but both remained in the same position with no sign of recovery until I felt the mate bond we shared begin to fade, I rushed to her side and broke the connection.My mate fell in my hands like a vegetable and it got us all alarmed."Reign!" Alexia was already by my side accompanied by Nailah; both had teary faces as they mourned but I couldn't tell for who exactly.The hall was already being emptied out because after the rituals and the pronouncement, most guests already began to take their leave."Let's get her to her room, Nailah you can attend to her yeah?" I asked and she nodded in tears."Nirson you take Hermoine to the hospital wing let's see if Dr. Alb
Dante Getting Reign to safety afterwards was no stress at all but my heart bled for Hermoine and the helpless state she was in, she looked quite innocent. Looking at her, I felt pity for her, I knew the story definitely spread more than Seth had explained from the reaction of Alexia, Reign and Nailah. I knew there was definitely more to the story than our ears had accommodated already. I immediately dropped Reign on one of the hospital beds and shut the doors closed, Nirson already went to find Dr Alberto. "Stay with me baby, you have to fight this, we can fight through this." I spoke to Reign's unconscious frame hoping she could hear me. I had kept her in the same hospital ward but I knew there was nothing the doctors were going to do to save her, all I could do was rely on the woman that made us, the goddess to be kind. Lately Selene had shown mercy a couple of times so I dared to bank on her once again. I ran my mind through the possible happenings back in the manor,
Reign This was a whole new level for me. I had felt a surge of strength physically but I was not fully in touch with Eliel yet. I felt physically strong but not emotionally. I couldn't help the tears that welled up within me. Hermoine laid lifeless and not even a breath was associated with her, her fragile form was sprawled out on a bed and her face already turned blue. Her palms were white and I realized I had never really seen someone lose their life except myself. "The doctor said we need a miracle and the only miracle worker seems to be Reign," Nirson's voice held a depth of sadness that I could quite get around. "She means everything to me. She is my mate." Nirson finally declared it before everyone. Most were surprised but I didn't identify with most, I felt an attachment to Hermoine since our escapede and something drew me to her. 'there is nothing we can do to save her. I am too weak and her life orb is almost out.' Eliel informed me weakly. 'At least we can
Seth I thought I had seen enough, I thought I had heard enough but I knew I was about to experience the most."Fools," not exactly the response I had expected from Uncle Astor but he said it all the same "Say," Zephyr was already growling and we could all tell his beast was on edge.I had already learnt that Zephyr harboured an untamable beast called Ghost and from the few times so far, he was always itching for violence and recognition.That moment was not any different."You don't tell me what to do boy!" Uncle Astor openly challenged but Ghost did not get provoked any further."So it's true!" Dante laughed dryly."Why am I not surprised that you always had a sinister plan up your sleeve?" Dante was definitely not letting the matter go lightly."Yes you were always right but being right wasn't enough to stop me was it?""Then it's game over Uncle Astor,"Should you even address him with that title anymore?" Zephyr countered Axle."The right title for me is Alpha," he paused, that
Dante When Uncle Astor howled, I felt the foundation of the building shake and I knew there was another element factored in. Seth immediately went straight for him and hit off the globe he held, Alexia was fast enough to break its fall and prevent it from shattering all over the place. "It breaks and we're all toast," she commented as she securely fit it into her dress pocket. She had changed to a more casual and comfortable attire. "You have no right!" Uncle Astor growled, that lovely, jolly older man was gone, standing before us was a beastly human with yellow eyes almost similar to the color Reign had so we all knew it was magic but such powerful magic was very rare. I wild list of allus he could have conspired with ran through my head and I did a mental tick off but a hard blow to my jaw made me aware of my surroundings once again. "Dante! Look out!" Alexia had yelled a little too late as I was already flying across the room only the crash in one of the drawers, it didn't tak
Seth It didn't sit well with me as a good idea but at the time, I knew that whatever needed to be done, needed to be done to save our mate and brother. "The goddess forgive the sins created by your creature, with remorse they have come to to appease and turn away your wrath." The bent over man lifted his hands and howled words to the moon goddess but Axle stopped him. "What are you doing?" Axle asked obviously already traumatized by Uncle Astor's display earlier. "I am starting the ritual," the man was courteous enough to recognize Axle as his Alpha and respond to him accordingly. "The trouble you face is much more than you know, his allies are on their way here too to take away the key to life and power." He gave the dramatic pause to allow our confusion sink deeper. "Reign," he said and it dawned on every one of us. Of course it was Reign, she was one of the Menae. A goddess herself. "Then let's get on with the rituals already." I said unwilling to give more room for delay a
ReignIt was all a very dramatic and chaotic scene and what hurt me the most was that what I suspected and anticipated the most yet denied, turned out to be my very reality.I had trusted the enemy the most all along, I had taken all my secrets and findings to him Everytime.I had always let him in on my plans time and time again. Uncle Astor was the only one I had said goodbye to when I ran away. He had tried to convince me and claimed he was going to come get me back to the pack before I shut my link then.Little wonder Chester was already waiting for me out there. I regretted a lot of things, especially not listening to Dante every time he warned me against Uncle Astor."Come with me," Zephyr grabbed me wrist on the heated hospital ward and we headed for the door while Uncle Astor displayed.I shook my head, not refusing but I was weak, I could feel the energy sap right out of me. I did not even have the strength to speak.Before I could give a response, Zephyr scooped me off the f
ReignIn all the stories told in Silver Crescent, the name Zephyr never went extinct.He had survived, he had lived through the pain and troubles and he had lived on the the tablets of our hearts."Zephyr! Stop running around," I scolded my little son.It had been three beautiful years and he really did substitute for my lost mate."Good thing you still have four mates to share your attention. How would you have managed with five?" Dante asked leaning on the door post.The bright sunlight illuminated his features."Hi," I said admiring him."When I look at him, he does grow up answering his name." Dante said and his voice caught Zephyr's attention."Dada!" He called out to Dante and ran towards him."Big boy!" Dante easily lifted Zephyr off the ground. "How's your day going?" He ruffled his hair."No! Hair! No!" Zephyr struggled in his grip and I laughed at the interaction between the two."Stop taunting my son," Axle joined us on Zephyr's room.I had initially thought naming him Zeph
"You will lose even more than you know it, the longer you stay here, the more time evades you. You mating pair is stronger than nations and will attract the wrath of more. Follow the voice within you for you are the light in the path you seek a bulb."This time their meaning was clear and I wasn't going to go down so easily without a fight.Then all of a sudden something else took over me and I stood up. I looked Chester straight in the eyes and said the words that came to my head."Oh goddess accept the soul I bring to you, my heart is sore and my spirit weak but this rogue has defiled your laws. Die!!!" I shouted and like an expired glass he exploded and shattered into several pieces.I felt weak as I rushed to Zephyr who was still bleeding out profusely.We already had company as everyone had found their way to my room at the sound."He can't die, let me save him." I pleaded with my mates who won't listen to me."Reign you've done enough, don't risk the future of the pack for my sa
ReignI knew something was wrong, I knew danger was close and if I didn't come out, I felt as though the person was going to bring down the entire building with fire to get to me because of the strict security so I decided to meet whoever myself.I had not intended to drag Zephyr along but he had insisted on coming out with me now I feared the danger he may be exposed to at Chester's hands."Chester let go of me!" I tried to protest and rescue myself from his grip but his hands were firm.He and Zephyr bore holes in each other shooting deadly glares.'come quickly, Chester is he---' I didn't finish my sentence when a blow hit me hard forcing me to move back several meters and land on my butt.This was why Axle and Dante had not recovered. The ritual was not over because no soul Sacrifice was offered."You will have no one's child but mine." Chester roared and I struggled to get on my feet."Reign!" Zephyr ran to my side from where he had equally been dealt a blow of his own from the m
Reign"Definitely we are not alone, there's a little man in there as well," Zephyr joked but I knew what I was sensing was different."What is it?" Seth asked studying me for a while."It's, it's gone. I just felt it for a moment but now it's gone" I waved it off as quickly as it had come and we walked back talking and laughing yet I kept looking back anticipating someone.I often related with Axle and Dante but I was the only one who could curb Axle, we had met the elders and they insisted that one of the rituals had been incomplete for such an anomaly to occur.The day we were going to announce I was having a baby came and my delivery date was just a few days away. In the meantime I worked with Hermoine as Beta and she was surprisingly not as dumb as I had envisaged.Nirson also worked hard and became more productive assisting Hermoine with most of the responsibilities.Everything was going smoothly save for Axle and Dante's growing conditions. It was like every day that past, the d
Reign Power left me but I didn't feel as weak as usual.Kudos to Seth, everyone knew I was pregnant, everyone sat beside me on the bed with Alexia and Nailah being the most dramatic."You need to lie down so Dr. Alberto can check you next, we don't want to ruin things for our little Alpha," Alexia teased."Or little Reign," I shot back."I think I'll take sides with Alexia this once. I really want you to have a boy" Nailah stabbed me straight in the heart taking sides with Alexia in my very before."Really Nailah," I feigned a heart break holding my chest and everyone was laughing including Hermione.She was awake and recuperating."The entire pack sure does want an Alpha, you can't exactly blame Nailah you know." Zephyr said proudly and the atmosphere was light.Everyone was happy, the bad energies had been dispelled but Axle's soul remained corrupt.Something no one could explain.The elders had told them that after the ritual of the joining gates and the soul offering, everything
ZephyrI stayed up all night, unease clawing at my chest as the clocked ticked my body drenched in cold sweat, I walked back and forth every now and then. I had to protect my mate, had to get to my brothers. Since she vanished into the flower I sensed something was off with my brothers, the connection with them had intensified then dulled and I was worried. As the tension continued to increase,a rumbling ache usurped the depth of my tummy. My heart continued beating, spreading malaise though my veins, I didn't know whether I wanted to sit down or remain standing! In this unyielding fit of distress, I tried to imagine how he would be faring on they would be faring on their own, but my muddled mind could only conjure up gruesome images, mortifying me the more.After a couple more minutes of frantic waiting, I walked to the stone hill in the forest. My sensed picked a distinct scent and I couldn't resist the hunch to follow it. As I moved deeper into the dense thicket, the smell intens
ReignJust as we got dressed to continue our search, I felt something call out to me. I looked around and Zephyr noticed my discomfort and commented."You seem to be looking for something,""Didn't we come out here to look for something in the first place?" I asked in a very cocky manner and he laughed realizing how stupid his question was."Right," he said and followed behind me as I followed the call on my soul and essence. I was so much more at ease so I could very easily pick the scent and follow my instincts to what I sought after. "There it is," I said when we got to the top of the hill we climbed.It was a yellow flower, beautiful, elegant and unique. The last time I had found it, it was purple but this color seemed to fit it very perfectly. The shape was different as well but I knew that was it."Really? That is what stressed us all along?" Zephyr saidIt looked like an ordinary flower so it had to call your attention before you could find it. Sometimes it was an actual plant
ReignWe had explored most of the forest but I was still yet to grasp a sight of the flower. I knew how the plant looked because I often used it back in Chester's pack to save the soldiers and wounded ones.There was a limit to the amount of energy I could push into a person to restore them without losing my own life so I had sought out other means to save more people."We've been going about forever, what exactly are you looking for?" Zephyr asked me, he was definitely not the type to go flower picking with a lady or treasure hunting so the unending search already greatly wearied him."Relax, it's a life plant so it doesn't have a definite form, shape or color" I said to him."You have got to be kidding me," he covered his face with both his hands and threw his head back. I watched his Adam's apple bob up and down like a simple pendulum as he spoke in that position unaware of the things he was doing to me."So how are we supposed to find it?" He asked before taking his hands off his
