LILITH’S POV I could feel the anger swirl within me, Brian was taking his precious time to show up for the meeting, my forehead ticking with several emotions as I waited for him.The boardroom filled with agitated beasts as they sat, tapping their feet furiously against the table frustration written in bold letters on their faces.The ticking of the clock adding to their agitation. “Can’t we just start this meeting without Lucien?” Luke from I T department asked, the invisible wheels in his head working overtime as he tried his possible best to school his emotions.“For the hundredth time no” I snapped, shutting him up. The anger in his face evident as he glared at the pen in his hands, setting it on fire with the gaze in his eyes.“Luke! Half of the table cried put, smoke teasing their nostrils as the coughed, my mind reeling at his little tactics. “Where the hell is Brian?” Trisha asked through gritted teeth, agitation evident in her

LUCIEN’S POV There was something different about Pines field, although I could not exactly place a finger on it. Things about Pines field didn’t feel the same. It felt distant. And clearly, it didn’t feel as welcoming as it used to be, something about it just felt different, felt out of place, it just felt utterly different and cold. After drilling the placard on Emma’s front door, I decided to take a nice long walk. I wanted to feel that familiar semblance, wanted to breathe in fresh air and not the filth that horde island was filled with. The familiar streets breathing relief down my neck as I let myself take it all in, the burst of freshly groomed flowers giving me a certain peace that I craved for .I wanted to drink it all in, but there was that nagging feeling settling at the back of mind, growing wings as it set across my head. Leaving distaste and utter frustration in it’s wake.That particular sensation of impending doom didn’t subside a bit.

EMMA’S POV “Arghhhh.”I was so stupid, so so stupid.What the well was I expecting“Fuck !It was one thing getting lost in the moment it was another thing going through with it. Damn I looked so stupid, Heck I even sounded stupid.Even though it was something that I had badly wanted to do, but now that I had done it I wasn’t so sure about it. the look in Lucien’s eyes after had sent me reeling with shock and more importantly shame.“Uggh” What the hell was I going to do. There was no way in hell that I could stand before Lucien without getting embarrassed.I didn’t know what I expecting. I should have known that with Lucien it was never a straight line, one had to walk in damn circles. I just wanted to Bury myself and cry all because stupid Lucien left me out to dry.Anger sizzling through me as I made my way to the bathroom, the memory of us having sex plunging into my mind as I felt myself tingle with excitement and desir

LUCIEN’S POV The house had suddenly grown too cold, and it was all Emma’s doing. Ever since her breakdown in this damn living room things hadn’t been the same again. Things had started to spiral out of control and I had to watch Emma painfully loose herself to whatever insanity was going on. She felt different, looked different and even acted different. The sudden shift in her behaviour haunted me, it was all my fault.If only I had listened to her, if only I had seen the damn shadows she had talked about. We would not even be here.Emma had become detached, yes she was crazy about publishing her new book and she even met with this British publisher almost every time, or even spent hours on the phone with the blonde bloke.When she wasn’t with him, when she was not occupied with things that could keep her on her feet, she was a different person entirely. She was a mess, screaming and crying till her voice became hoarse, or sometimes she was yelling incoherent words that didn’t make

EMMA’S POV These past days had been hectic, I felt like I was slowly loosing myself. I felt I was going insane, these shadows were popping off everywhere and anywhere.They had me in a chokehold, smothering me with their ominous presence and there was nothing I could do about it.I could not exactly explain this to Lucien because he didn’t see the same things I saw, he could not feel them. They didn’t show any form of mercy, the only time I was free from Their hold was when I was busy with work.And my book was almost as good as being published, we just needed to send it in for proofreading and editing for the third time before we finally published it.My marketing team was already on standby, teasing the audience with certain lines from my new book, I could even feel the success on my palms, I could even taste it.And now that I was finally going to know about the history of that damned inkwell, the shopkeeper was just going to turn me out on the street with half baked words. Nah,

LILITH’S POV Anger, or rather satisfaction ran through my veins as I saw the hordes getting tore up by werewolves, their acrid stench filling up the air as I watched them squirm for their lives. My sudden urge to kill dissipating as I watched them burst into flames, the hunt getting intense as the hordes ran through the maze.Several hordes scattered across the bleachers on the great fields as they watched their own die, the fear in their eyes exciting as I took it all in.Vashka and Mordecai sitting rigidly beside me on an elevated podium as we watched hordes and wolves dissolve into nothingness, my heart thumping with satisfaction as I watched it go on and on.Boredom suddenly overshadowing my initial satisfaction, the hunt seemed to go on for a long time, I had important things to do, my company was in danger and I didn’t have all day watching one useless match.“Stop the hunt” I said with a snap of my fingers, my sunshades sitting pretty on my face as I heard the moderator spe

LUCIEN’S POV “What do we do with this Lucien?” Emma asked pointedly, staring at the briefcase that the shopkeeper had pressed into her hands.“Uhm” I said clearing my throat loudly as I went through the content of the briefcase. The books as well as scrolls containing valuable pieces of information that could ruin this obsidian order, it could leave them in flames if words got out, their illegalities piling higher at every turn of the page.There were several counter curse books and spells that peeked out the brief case, and a gold ball that had strange marks on them, and red stones peeking out it’s body, it was rough to touch and finally a book about the inkwell in a big brown old book, relief seeping through us as we flipped it open.Our relief didn’t last for long, the big brawny book was just a repetition of what the shopkeeper told us earlier, each image deflating our previous excitement.Frustration and anger seeping through us as we flipped open pages upon pages of the book

EMMA’S POV The excited chirping of birds woke me up, the air tingling with celebrations as different sweet smell wafted inti my nostrils. The November bake sale was finally here, after months of hard preparation and whatnots, I was glad the day was finally here and I honestly couldn’t wait to stuff my stomach with all the pastries. Even Claudia’s, the winner of every November bake sale, and an all time first championship. The thought brought a wide smile to my face, and I could not wait to put Lucien on my one time favourite. Speaking of Lucien, I was sure I didn’t wake up to meet him by my side, and his side was perfectly laid and cold. Which meant that he didn’t sleep in bed.An uneasy feeling clouding my head while I went through my morning routine, my head still ringing with that unfamiliar emotion, and the fact that he was able to read my memories perfectly made me realize that he was dangerous.But then the thing that baffled me was how I was al

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? You

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
