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.

“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,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

EMMA’S POV Going With Verity had to be the wisest decision, at least with her. My death was smooth and swift, with the nerve-racking speed with which she was flying down the alley, cutting across every dip and bend of the town as she knew it like the back of her palm.Well, she was the obsidian order, so I should not expect anything less. They ran this god damned Street.I wondered if I called out to Lucien as he had claimed, wondered if he would come running out to me in a Nanosecond, protecting me as he had promised. At least it was worth a try, right?“Get off,” Verity growled, surprise and confusion washing through my veins as I watched her make her way angrily inside the antique store, her back stiff as I followed her inside the store quickly; the night air was giving me the jitters.“What took you so damned long, Verity” Tanesha called out in frustration, her voice booming around the small store, even causing some items to topple over.“Well

EMMA’S POV “Tanesha asked us to keep it on the low Lucien, and if memory serves me right, it means no phone calls, it means no texts, no emails?” I asked, confused, the look in his eyes forcing me to sigh loudly “What is it, Lucien?” I asked lazily, gently rubbing my face in frustration.“You forget that I am a werewolf Emma, and I do not like that.” He muttered distastefully, the annoyed look on his face made me want to burst into laughter.“I forgot that,” I said, a snort escaping my mouth as I stared at him in surprise.“I think I need to remind you, Lucien, I created you,” I gloated, his face contorting into an ugly as he stared unhappily, the dips and frown lines plastered across his face made my heart jump with joy, happy that I at least had the last laugh.“Now, back to serious matters, Lucien, how did you get in touch with Maximo, and how exactly did he call you?” I asked earnestly, wiping all hints of playfulness

EMMA’S POV These past four days had been hell, four days of trying to get the image of Mordecai out of my head, and all my efforts just went down the drain; she was like a stubborn stain that just wouldn’t go, her dark broody eyes hunting my next move and that eerie smile of hers That plagued my very existence. I was in for a thrill, and there was no way out of this.I freaking saw her face in everything I did, peering at me disdainful, memories of her and Vashka asking me to hold onto my sanity for a while plaguing my head, pricking and poking me in all the wrong places.“Don’t you want to take a walk, Emma?” Lucien called from where he sat, his big broody figure hunched beside me as he read curse after curse, spell after spell. Some yielded good results, and others, well, not so much.All I knew was that if this continued, we would be cooked before the obsidian order even got to us.“No, I need to finish up with this chapter

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

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
