EMMA’S POV The walk to the dining hall was one long one, and my face hurt from too much pretence; although I was still a little bit hurt that my hopes got dashed like that, Tanesha had made it her duty to talk my head off.The lights bounced around the walls, giving the hallway an ethereal feeling. Tanesha looked breathtakingly gorgeous in her white dress, the fabric clinging to her well-defined curves as she sashayed down the stairs.Authority and power were radiating through her as she led me down the narrow steps, a sad tune playing in the dinner. My legs crossed against each other with anxiety as I made my way through the throng of crowds. Tanesha hot on my heels still talking my ears offHalf of me hoped Lucien would be seated already, at least, it would make it easier for me to put a wrap on my emotions.“Now Emma, these people are.... let me say one of a kind,” Tanesha said sternly, her perfect dentition glinting in the dark hallway.“Now, we wouldn’t want to step on their toe

LUCIEN’S POV Half of me bloody knew I shouldn’t have taken Aiko up on his offer to meet his packs, I have been standing in the middle of a heated argument that seemed to drag on forever; their low, disgruntled growls made my skin prickle with all the negative emotion I could muster.And that damned Aiko just watched his pack argue amongst each other as he tried everything in his books to get into my mind. All I had to do was flick him away, but he was persistent “Would you fucking stop trying to get inside my head Aiko” I growled aggressively, his hands going up in the air in mock surrender as he stared pointedly at me.“Now, that is not a way to welcome guests, guys,” Aiko finally spoke. Making them pause in theory argument, the respect they had for him amazed me.“He is one of us now; as your Alpha, I think it would be nice to welcome him properly and teach him the ways of the wolf, right?” Aiko cheered; his flui

LILITH’S POV I remembered the deal I had made with the derailed cop, the greed swirling through his eyes made it easy for me.And that was the thing about human, their greed would be the end of them, anything for more power.“What did you offer him Lilith” Brian attacked immediately I made my way out of his office, William and Brian hot on my heels, the Desperation seeping Through them inking me.“When do I return to the headquarters, Lilith?” William asked through gritted teeth, a small smile donning my face as I took in Lucien’s uncomfortable look, and I wasn’t Lilith if I didn’t stir the hornet's nests.“Brian thought it would be better for you to stay here; in fact, he begged me to let you stay here. Isn’t that right, Lucien?” I asked innocently, enjoying the way he stared frantically from me to William. The look in his eyes made my heart soar with pride,“ Besides William, we need you here, our business is flying out

EMMA'S POVLiberated, ever since the small fiasco I had with Lucien the other night, my mood had gotten a whole lot better, I even slept with a fucking wide smile although I was a bit disappointed that he didn’t rush to my room after wards, but his wave met something, it meant reconciliation right?"someone seems to be in a good mood this morning?' Marilyn quipped, her hands holding the briefcase the nasty shopkeeper had given me, the hope bubbling in my chest few hours ago deflating at her outstretched arms."what is that?” I asked confusedly, my eyebrow shooting up in defence as she pulled me into a sitting position, the playful look in her eyes made me reel back in shock."Guess who is free to finally leave?" she sang her eyes doing a whole eighty degree as she fixed me a playful glare, excitement swirling through my bones as she handed me the briefcase."Why? I mean, you guys didn't want us to leave yet because you thought

LUCIEN’S POV We slowly Watched the door self-destruct on its own, causing the bolts to click into place, Maximo’s furious curses blaring through the chaos as we tried to break the darned door open. The alarm blaring frantically as we thrust our bodies against the door. A slight dent only graced the surface of the door as we heaved heavily against the door, the licks messing with our heads.“Hurry, I hear footsteps” Emma called out hurriedly, the urgency in her voice causing us to hit violently against the door, heavy footsteps echoing in the room as they made their way down.“Here, shoot any fucker you see,” Maximo ordered, tossing Emma the metal-like weapon he was holding, gold encryptions carved on the ends of the weapon.“How do you expect me to use this, Maximo?” Emma gulped out fearfully, her eyes rounding in on the weapon lying in her palms; the look of dread flitting across her face made me want to get her ou

EMMA’S POV I felt my throat constrict tightly against each other, all the yelling that had taken like forever finally came to an abrupt end as Lucien and I watched the strings binding the curses setting itself ablaze, the golden streaks falling onto the marbled floor as they disappeared, a strange thumping in my chest as we both stared at the empty bed, no sign of Maximo except for my destroyed bed lamp.I could feel a headache springing up, and the thoughts in my head jumbled up as I mentally tried to piece the darned puzzle.“DO you think the hordes got to him?” I gulped fearfully, my eyes rounding in on the scattered sheets and the tightly closed windows.“I don’t think the horde did this; hordes always stink up the place, and the hordes can’t come in, remember?” Lucien replied as he searched the room, his muscles filled with frustration as he moved slowly across the room.“Then what exactly happened here” I cried out in frustration, plopping on the bed heavily with a sigh as I s

BRIAN’S POV AngerThere was nothing as annoying as having people fall apart, there was nothing as disgusting as when someone who had worked on the side-lines and suddenly wanted to have more power.“You guys would want to sit down for this” Trisha's sultry voice called out, her damn sweet sultry voice grating on my nerves like ice as I looked from her smiling face to Lilith’s livid ones.“I clearly didn’t call for a board meeting, and you all are here, it clearly means I can’t trust you” Lilith muttered, her voice slithering against my spine as she looked around the table, her eyes zeroing in on Trisha’s bored look.“Well since you guys decided to you know start a board meeting without me, you may as well finish it off without me, don’t celebrate for too long, you all would have to pay with your blood” Lilith spat, her dark orbs shining bright with anger, her threat finally sinking in on their block heads as they tried to plead for mercy.“That is not going to happen” Trisha sneered

LILITH’S POV My whole body was boiling over, I could feel this crazy board meeting that I had no hand in draw me to my limits. I needed to put certain rules in place; they needed to know that all wrongdoing had consequences. My crazy half-sister had started getting ideas, all thanks to her crazy mom, who looked like a princess from the Mediterranean era; her pearls sparkled so bright, I thought it was going to blind my fucking eye.“You aren’t saying anything, Lilith?” Her honey-like voice called the mockery in her tone setting me ablaze. I had to keep grit my teeth rapidly so I would not blow things out of proportion, her mommy dearest was here, and this fucking idiot wouldn’t see the end of me.“And what exactly do you want me to say? Tyrone is my problem, and I would deal with it myself,” I spat out angrily, my whole body reeling with rage as I fixed her a glare.“Well since all that is well Taken care of, let us move on to more important matters” Tris

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
Luna lines CHAPTER 97
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
