LUCIEN'S POVIgnoring Emma was the most stupid decision that I had made in my entire life, I had to ensure that I was out of here before she could suspect anything.And I knew nothing could ever get past Emma.She was too smart for her own good, I had woken up earlier than her this morning, made breakfast quietly so I wouldn’t have to hold a conversation with her if she woke up.If I needed to avoid her, I had to be out of here, so I had taken my time to know all the nooks and cranny of pine field. I even saw the antique shop where Emma got the Inkwell, the shopkeeper engrossed in whatever it was he was doing. I wasn’t exactly surprised when I got home, and Emma had tried engaging me in small talks, conversation that I didn’t want to be in, so I had given her one excuse of going to take a shower, shower that ended up taking hours to finish.Honestly trying to avoid Emma, the clothes she had on was messing with my head, turning me into a complete recluse, and she didn’t even notice

LUCIEN’S POV It took a while before she responded to my kisses, and when she did.It was blissful, I nibbled, sucked, and teased her bottom lip which elicited a soft moan from her. Her soft moan turning me on.The kiss went from slow and steady to needy, and a little bit aggressive, my hand found the curves at her back, groping softly, and her hand running through the roots of my hair.This action seemed to stir the wolf in me, begging to be let out more than ever, I was having a hard time keeping it under a leash.I didn’t want to hurt her like this, and for a moment, I wished I was human. Wished that I could give her my all without afraid of a beast letting loose.Sensing my urge to pull back off she pulled me back in, one of her legs wrapping around my waist, as I teased her with my already growing bulge.This seemed to be doing the trick as she became a quivering mess pleading with me in small breathes not to stop.Letting out a small growl, I started to feel the changes, my

EMMA’S POV Ever since that day that Lucien had hung out my dirty linen for me to see, used my heart to play a game of ping pong, I couldn’t stand the sight of him.I was repulsed staying in the same space next to him, he didn’t get to treat me like that, didn’t get to say a whole lot of mean things and expect me to still be cordial with him.I mean hello, you do not get to do that.So that is why I have been ignoring him ever since then, focused entirely on my book, that seemed to confuse me a whole lot, and that stinging pain, and metal colliding with fresh was more prominent after every word I wrote.I didn’t know how to explain it, I didn’t know who to ask.I mean I could easily ask Lucien but then my ego would not let me.Right now I was on my way to the antique shop, after impolitely declining Lucien’s offer to accompany me.I didn’t necessarily want to be drawn to his bad energy.Because that was what he was a ticking time bomb that was waiting patiently to detonate taking ev

LILITH'S POVI could not explain the anger that rolled off my body after I found out the inkwell had been sold, I had been in an offensive mood ever since Brian brought the news to me, a smirk evident on his face as if mocking me. If not that I needed him, I would have dealt with him, made him beg for his life till I decided on what to do with him.At least, that would put him in his rightful position, and he wouldn't dare mess with me, for I was Lilith, the holder of lives and the one who could rule over fickle-minded men to the right path; I was their only path to salvation.I had made necessary plans in place, the pines field being one of my priorities. I needed to visit the antique shopkeeper and needed him to tell me who or whom he sold the inkwell to.As it was, my patience was running thin; I needed that inkwell like yesterday. to finally get all that I had ever wanted.I wanted power in large doses, I wanted to rule the world.I yearned for the satisfaction of seeing my own r

BRIAN’S POV I was spent at this point, I had tried going to pay a little visit to the shopkeeper, but he had placed a damn curse that smacked me right off my feet anytime I came close to the door. The door handle zapping me senseless. So I had planted trails that would lead me to the inkwell itself, although I had no lead, and I needed to discuss it with Lilith, I needed her permission. I placed a call to Lilith, the line only beeping twice before she picked up, her voice ringing through the room“It is about damn time you called Brian” she yelled, my ear ringing loudly.“You know very well why I haven’t reached out to you Lilith, “ I said exhaustion rolling into my voice“Are you sure that is the only thing keeping you busy Brian? She asked candidly, there was a long pause after The question.Which caused her to cackle, her devilish laughter reverberating through the phone, and I hated the way she always made me feel small.“I thought as much Brian, so when you are done philand

EMMA’S POV I couldn’t express how happy I have been since this morning, Lucien and I had already made out on the kitchen counter this morning, and it felt good every single time.I was happy with the way things were, I didn’t even have to think too hard. Whatever this thing was with Lucien, I was going to make sure I saw it till the end.“What are you thinking of Emma? Lucien asked, his breath fanning the crook of my neck.We were currently cuddling on the living room couch, watching a rerun of Harry Potter the pop corn lay half eaten on the centre table.Lucien seemed to be enjoying this movie, because he had been paying attention to the movie, his hands rubbing me In a soothing manner.“Nothing” I said trying to hide the blush that had started creeping up my cheeks. “Are you sure it is nothing Emma? Lucien asked sarcasm dripping through his voice “Ugh I hate you Lucien “ I said trying to hide my face with one of the throw pillows, Lucien laughter inciting me more, but in a go

EMMA’S POV I remember passing out on the chair, fatigue encasing my small body. I didn’t exactly know what I did that had me that worn out.It was well past evening I eventually woke up, with Lucien sprawled on the space next to me, his hand trapping me between him and the centre table. I just laid beside him, taking in all his facial features, he looked breath-taking with all his facial features relaxed. I traced my finger across his face slowly, trying to memorise the dips and every path of his face.The rise of chest bringing out different emotions in me, emotions that has me in a choke hold.“Take a picture Emma, they last longer” Curses! I hissed under my breath making me flush with embarrassment, the pink in my cheeks turning a deep shade of redHis laughter causing a small smile to form on my face.“I think we need to pay Mrs Clara a visit Lucien, it’s been ages Lucien “ I sighed, sucking air through my teeth, and I kind of felt bad .“It’s been what?

LILITH’S POV My life seemed to have upended, I sat in my lair and slowly watched, watched how everything came crashing down. I stayed low and watched how everything that i had built with my blood, sweat, and tears came tumbling down.And the realisation that I had failed my own people attacked me, such force that held me captive.The blood curling screams and painful grunts always found its way to my ear every darned time, reminding me how much I had failed. But I wasn’t going to just sit here and watch my life crumble like this, I was going to fight.And fight I would. But first, I needed to keep my shadow safe, keep it safe because fucking Lyra would have known.Known that the only way she could kill me was by trapping my shadow first, and if at all I was going to go down, I had to do that with a fight.“So, what do you suggest?” My shadow asked, a huge smile plastered across her face as she stared right back at me.“I suggest we fight” I whispered slowly, gently rubbing my templ

TANESHA’S POV I could taste the blood in the air, blood wrenching cries polluting the already still air, several screams and cries cutting across each other.The fight had lasted for two nights, and three mornings to be precise, blood flew freely across the fields, several bodies sprawled across the field.“Come Tanesha, we don’t have business here. This part of the field belongs to the werewolves” Mother called gently, her dark gown billowing against her as we made our way to where our kind stood, their black cloaks forming a dark cloud as they waited patiently for us, their dark eyes ripping through mine.“She isn’t one of ours” a brawny witch hissed, her dark orbs shooting daggers at me.“She is our only path to salvation” Mother replied, her slender finger wrapping my bicep protectively.“The resistance would be here soon. All you need to do is stand by us no matter what. It is an order Tanesha” mother gritted harshly, her smooth voice made my heart swell with pride.“Sure mom”

BRIAN’S POV Fucking hell yes, finally I could taste the victory on my tongue, I could smell it, I could feel the power running through my veins in torrent. If this is what Victory finally felt like, then I was thrilled with it.“What do you think Lilith would do with this one” Andrea spat bitterly, tipping her head towards a worn-out verity. “Finish her off, I guess” I muttered through gritted teeth, her sunken eyes casting a lazy glare at me, all I wanted to do was shove her fucking tongue into her mouth, and make her choke on the darned thing.“And she?” she asked again, her broody orbs taking in Emma’s unconscious form, her facial features too relaxed for her own good.“I have no idea” I muttered slowly, rubbing my chest slowly to fucking calm my raging heart, I wasn’t supposed to feel this way.“We are home” Andrea muttered slowly as the horde ball made a descent towards the fields, a great feast already setting in motion as people hurriedly came to welcome us, their mouths pl

EMMA’S POV I felt half of my memory freeze, no matter how hard I had tried to remember the last event that had happened, I couldn’t. I couldn’t feel, couldn’t see, and worse Lyra and Caspian weren’t here, I remember pulling them through the portal, I remember following them closely behind, remember the argument I had with Lyra in the portal I could still feel her harsh voice ringing aggressively in my ear, before that crazy sound tore into us, separating us.“Welcome home” A sultry voice called out, several pair of orbs staring right back at me immediately I had tumbled into my own house.Only that my house didn’t look like it belonged to me any longer, like I was the stranger in my own home.Like I was the outsider looking in.“Stay back Emma” Lucien growled, making his way to my front, protecting me.“I assured you to hold onto your sanity a little while longer, didn’t I?” Mordecai cackled, her masked face crinkling up to show a wide smile. She was sitting on my damn couch, and

LILITH’S POV I knew the moment I stepped out with Luke, the crazy dimwit would start their little coup, planning how to send the qián jīn yuán to Greisha, what they didn’t know was that along with Greisha’s death came their own downfall.That was just how life worked, I couldn’t forgive betrayal, and they had betrayed me one too many times, and once I finally found a way to cut the string that bound me to Verity, I was going to cut her off.I couldn’t stand the stench of traitors, they irked me, I mean If you wanted to be bad, you had to remain bad to the very fucking end.This wasn’t a Gatsby story where one had a change of mind, and suddenly realised that they wanted to do good things. No, this was fucking real life.“Luke” I spat bitterly, not missing the slight look of fear that flitted across his face. “Yes ma’am?” He replied, avoiding my gaze at all cost.“Find out where Tyrone is, I am giving you just two days, two days, or I would seal your faith” I sneered lowly, enjo

LUCIEN’S POV I could feel hot coals burning the back of my eye, the people of St. Montero were just so mean. I mean, they had a fire beneath their eyes that scorched one, turning them into fucking grit and rubble.The past forty eight hours that we had spent in here, we had managed to garner a lot of hatred, and I am not even joking, a whole lot.Some had even sent us away with several curses, their eyes snickering with Anger.“How the hell are we going to find Lyra now, they don’t even want to have anything to do with us” Emma whined, her eyebrow scrunched in frustration as she sat helplessly on one of the wooden benches that lay scattered across the meadow that led up to the heart of St. Montero Our haven for now, that is if they’ve not yet sent guards down here. I wondered how someone so sacred in books, was treated like filth or rather a curse was disturbing.The harsh orange sun scorched us blindly as we helplessly gazed far away wasn’t even

LILITH’S POV Anger,I felt it before it even materialized, the thought of blowing the head of everyone seated on this table into tiny fucking bits and pieces swirling through my head. Their downturn lips infuriated me a whole lot more.“Who made the darned order” I asked a little bit calmly this time, my whole head sizzling in anger.“Nobody, Nobody is saying anything” u seethe, trying to block the jumbled thoughts playing in my head.“Trisha issued the order, ma’am, and we went through with it,” Luke from I T finally replied, hisses and sneers accompanying his reply.“You know what you guys have done, you’ve made us enemies with earth, did you see the news, did you see how Tyrone was going after our fucking heads” I shrieked, looking round the table, the remorse on their faces stifling.“Well since you all laid your fucking beds, I think you should all lie on it, The resistance would not fucking stop Because we murdered one of theirs and captured another, and what did you do?

EMMA’S POV It took four days before we finally got to St. Montago, the sea had been brutal thrashing us in its turbulent waves, I had fallen ill during the journey, so I was finally glad at the feel of dry land, my whole body still sore from being in one position all day long.“DO you need to rest? There’s an Inn here; I suggest we rest; St. Montero isn’t far from here,” Lucien said, his big, burly figure caving in with exhaustion.“Why don’t we go to St Montero today, board an Inn, and tomorrow we look for Lyra?” I suggested, pulling him slightly over the noisy Market, several stall owners calling out to people passing by.“Why Emma?“I don’t think it is safe here, Lucien; I saw hordes here when we shot down from the boat earlier,” I whispered harshly, gently looking around for anything suspicious.The street teemed with several people as they each went about their business, their noses buried deep inside whatever it

EMMA’S POV The whispers just wouldn’t stop. They thawed away at my head, each harsh whisper filling up every hole and crevice of my whole body, not even when I was falling through the unknown with a certain speed that no man on earth could ever beat. Each harsh whisper drilling the words Hunt, maim, and kill in my ear as we dropped down, making sure I didn’t leave Lucien’s embrace, a smokeless cloud hanging over us as we fell rapidly through the portal with a loud thud, the desert sounds flying into our mouths as we rapidly tried to spit the sands out frantically. The humid air clung onto us frantically as Lucien carried the knapsack that was filled to the brim with supplies across his back.“So this is it” I muttered dreadfully, staring at the vast lands that laid before me, the current of the horde island, reaching far into this place.“We need to move fast, Emma, I felt the presence of the obsidian order while we wer
