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

“Leave me alone Josh!” I say in an alarmed tone as I'm pushed against the wall. My face contorts in pain as my elbows collide with the wall. “Shut the fuck up! We both know you want me, enough with all this sly acting.” Josh says with a sneer on his lips as he leans closer to me. The pungent smell of alcohol emanating from him is enough to make me puke if I wasn't already disgusted by him. Life in Willowbrook Town is slowly becoming unbearable for me. The people's cruel nature was slowly getting to me. Their wicked words and derogatory statements cut through the pieces of my fragile heart. What's worse is that, I'm in no way to be blamed for my predicament. I was abandoned by my parents and family just a few months after I was born. The townspeople gave me away to the orphanage where I was brought up. The townspeople got it into their heads that because I grew up without my family, I don't deserve any respect or love. Almost as if it was my fault that I was abandoned. It got bet

Thank you very much.” I say with a wide smile on my face as the shopkeeper packs up the inkwell. I've always been attracted to antiques — things dating as far back as my birth. There's just something so rich and beautiful about the history of these items that I can't help but take them for myself. All my novels are usually historical fiction. My characters' love for each other transcending through time. I step out of the antiques shop, and I can't help but wonder why I haven't taken note of this shop before. I'm not too shocked though, considering the fact that I rarely leave my house. I'm always holed up inside my house. I breathe easier when I get closer to my house and realize that Josh is no longer anywhere close by. I don't waste any more time outside though, for fear that an evil bigger than Josh will jump out of the shadows and attack me. I lock the door behind me, rushing towards my writing desk where I carefully place the inkwell on top. I stare at it for a few minutes,

The first thing I notice when I open my eyes are the bright lights, and the second thing I notice is the strange figure sitting on the chair beside my bed. “You are still here?!” I murmur in shock as I recognise the person sitting on the chair as Lucien Blackwell.“Where else would I be?” Lucien asks with a smirk on his lips, and if I didn't know better, I would say he's laughing at my predicament. “I don't know! Stuck in my imagination or something! How are you real?!” I ask in a frustrated and completely baffled tone as I stare at him the way one would stare at a lab rat. Lucien continues to watch me calmly as if he's already accepted this impossible reality. “The Inkwell.” He says simply, nodding to the object sitting on the desk, its surface gleaming in the light. I blink, still half-convinced that this is some bizarre dream. “The inkwell?” I echo, my voice wavering between disbelief and fear.Lucien nods again, his expression softening just a fraction. “Yes. The inkwell you f

As I open my eyes once more, a sense of déjà vu overwhelms me. I’ve been in this position before—the disorientation, the dim light filtering through the blinds, the lingering scent of something metallic in the air. But this time, it’s different. The force that led to my losing consciousness feels like a distant memory, and all I can focus on is the sharp, cold clarity that now grips my mind.“How are you feeling?” Lucien’s voice cuts through the haze, a steady anchor in the storm of my thoughts. His tone is calm, but there’s an undercurrent of tension that makes me uneasy.“I—I don’t know,” I stammer, my voice small, fragile. It’s the first time I’ve felt truly unsure of my well-being since this whole ordeal started.Lucien moves closer, his presence comforting in the way a storm is both terrifying and awe-inspiring. His hands rest on my shoulders, the warmth of his touch grounding me as he gently pulls me into a sitting position. He hands me a glass of water, poured from the pitcher

“What the hell is that?!” I ask in an alarmed tone as I take a shaky step backwards out of fear. Lucien doesn't respond as his eyes peruse the symbol on my door. His expression is unreadable as he crouches low, his fingers tracing the carvings on the door. The marks seem to come alive beneath his finger, as I'd they have a will of their own. My stomach churns with a mixture of fear and nausea, the awful scent from the expired paint growing stronger until I can practically taste it at the back of my throat. “What does it mean?” I ask, my voice barely above a whisper, the words tumbling out of my mouth before I can stop them. “There are tracking sigils.” Lucien responds in a clipped tone. “Ancient magic used to find objects of power. They've marked the inkwell and by extension, you.” “Who marked it?” I ask in a worried tone as my eyes flit back to the symbols on my door. “I have no idea. It could be the Obsidian Order, or it could be the inkwell creating a connection with you, I'm

I could see the silhouette of Lucien on the chair in my room. He was convinced my life was in danger, I was too. Earlier, after the strange sounds I heard on my front door he had refused to leave my side. He said they were watching, watching me, watching us.The thought of being watched sent unpleasant chills down my back, it made me feel anxious. I pulled the duvet above my shoulder to cover my face, like that was going to block their gaze from me but it wasn’t me they were after, they were after the ink well.If it was the ink well they were after and not me I had suggested to Lucien that I should just let them have it but he did not agree to my idea. He said something so powerful should not be left in the hands of evil, he had already told me what they intended to do with it. I couldn’t let that happen but I was too scared, how could I possibly fight against them.How did I get myself entangled in such a mess. Why did I go into the strange looking shop, why did I buy the

Lucian stretched his arm across the table to grab the mug , I watched his muscles flex. His arms looked so strong, I couldn’t help but wonder how strong his grasp would be around me. Curses Emma, where did your principles go? I forced myself to focus on break fast. I grabbed my mug and took a sip of the coffee“I don’t drink coffee” Lucian said with a blink face.“What, what do you want then?” I asked annoyed.“Tea” he said leaning into the chair making it to stand on only two legs.I don’t know why I didn’t refuse making him tea, I grabbed the cup of steaming hot tea and walked to the table. I placed it gently on the table to prevent it from spilling over, I then reached out for the mug, it was empty, why was it empty?“Where, where is the coffee?” I asked confused “why is the mug empty?”“I drank it” he answered shrugging his shoulder while chewing his toast.“I thought you don’t drink coffee “ I was already getting irritated.“Well while you were in the kitchen I changed my mind”

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

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,

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

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 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.

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

EMMA’S POV I could still feel the flames of desire Lucien left in his wake, his kisses awakening all the desires i had kept hidden. The feel of his hands on my breasts made my head reel with a sudden need. his betrayal making my heart sink into a bottomless pit, snatching me from the little la la land i was in.The tears leaking from my eye didn’t show any sign of stopping.Not even when I had tried to yank myself free from the bedpost wishing it would snap into halves, its hold on me frustrating.But that didn’t even happen. No matter how hard I tugged, no matter how hard I tried to let myself loose.I just ended up injuring myself, the plastic cuffs eating slowly into my arms causing small blisters to form.I might have dozed off once or twice, my middle still throbbed with so much desire it threatened to spill out of me.My face was still stunning with pain from earlier, anger swirling through me at the thought of Vashka’s filthy hands on

LUCIEN’S POV Anger. I felt the sudden need to punch Vashka or Kavashka whatever his name was , after the stupid stunt he had pulled in the great hall. He deserved to be stoked to death, deserved all the meanness I could possibly think ofAfter he used his filthy horde hands to do series of atrocity on Emma’s fragile body, he deserved he’ll and more.“ Xi, walk slow” Xvii whined, his short strides trying to catch up with my own long strides. Although it hurt to leave Emma like . If I could. I swear I would tie her with me and just make a run for it.But that wasn’t going to be possible, I couldn’t risk losing weeks of rigorous planning just because I was irrational. I still remembered the look of betrayal that had shone in eyes, I could still feel the desire running wild within me,.But I needed to teach the beast a lesson, nobody had the right to put their hands on Emma like that, she was fragile and they needed to treat her like one.“You remember the plan’s right, we do it be
