"Are you heading somewhere?" Green eyes asked her.
"No," she replied as she headed to the living room. "I just wanted to leave the comfort of my room," she said as she plumped on a couch."Alright, I'm heading to my room," he responded."Okay," she replied and with that, he walked away, and headed to the gammas quarters.•"News of your dealings with the nightcrawlers pack has travelled round, Grey," Zing said to Grey as they stood in front of the arena, watching the horses."How brilliant," Grey replied with an hint of sarcasm in his tone.Zing chuckled. "They must be cowering in fear by now," he said.Grey shook his head and smirked. "I doubt that, comrade. Rather, they would begin to think of ways to bring about my downfall," he replied."Why would you think so?" Zing asked. "The Nightcrawlers pack is like a lesson to other packs. They should be cowering in fear," he insisted.Grey dis"Can you not see that I am about to retire for the night?" Grey asked Vivian.Vivian frowned. "I can see that clearly," she replied."Such impertinence, Vivian. Can you not see it's late? Whatever you have to discuss can wait till the morning," Maya said to her."Stay out of this, Maya. Nobody involved you in this discussion," Vivian replied, getting angry."You don't have the right.." Grey began to speak as he advanced towards Vivian, but Maya stopped him, by a gentle pull of his arm.Maya turned to Vivian. "He is my husband, Vivian. I have every right to know what's going on. His business is my business," she replied.The way Maya called Grey her husband, got Vivian more riled up. "You have every right to know what's going on in his life?" She asked, walking away from the table sinisterly. "Would you really like to be aware of everything going on in his life?" She asked."That's about enough, Vivian," Grey warned her.
Days turned into nights as the weeks rolled by. Maya was already completely healed from the poison she had the last time. Grey refused to reduce Cora's punishment, and Maya alleviated it by sneaking in meals to her, which made Cora wonder why she had just decided to hate Maya without a just cause and without getting to know her. But now, it was too late for her to make amends of her mistake as judgement had already been passed on her.Vivian was barely in the house anymore and no one bothered about her. After all, she was just a nuisance disturbing the pack house. The elders were also hardly coming into the pack house for they now considered it an abominable place that has been defiled by the presence of Maya who had made Grey allow Gwen and green eyes at the table that was meant for superiors and their subordinates only. This, Grey did not worry about. What he was worried about was the unusual text he got from that unknown number, and he had immediately called Nick who had
He cocked a brow. He was the least interested in what she was talking about, but he decided to pay attention to her. "What happened to her?" He asked, pretending to care, whereas he knew he did not. He continued. "Is she up to any mischief?" He asked. He would never get through that thought in his head that Reina was not just in this pack house for nothing. Although, he was yet to find her in any suspicious dealings, he still did not see her as a saint. After all, he has been too busy trying to track the person who wanted to use Maya to get to him, to have the time to monitor Reina.Maya shook her head. "She's not up to mischief," she replied, so I think, she added in her mind."Well then you should not be bothered about anything," he said as he turned her to look at him. "Have you had lunch?" He asked her and she shook her head."Not yet," she replied."Alright, let's go have lunch together," he said as he feathered a kiss on her lips and she smi
"Just admit that you're jealous," green eyes continued his taunting.Grey snickered. "Jealous? Of you?" He asked as he took a long look at green eyes. He shook his head. "No, I'll pass. There's really nothing to be jealous about. You're not in the same league as Zing or Jayden or even Reuben, and you think you're in the same league as me? You wish the unimaginable," Grey replied.Green eyes chuckled. "Admit it, Grey. Admit that you're jealous of the relationship I and Maya share," he said and Grey raised a brow."What relationship?" Grey inquired in mockery as he continued. "There is no relationship between you and Maya. Do not mistake her care for likeness or admiration, stranger. She only pities you, but that is a word she would not want to use," he replied."Well, that's not what she thinks," green eyes responded."What did you just say?" Grey demanded, seething in rage. Green eyes had succeeded in riling him up.Green eyes ch
Grey got into the study room, slammed it shut, and growled in anger as he flipped the desk upside down in anger. He sent the ceramic flower vase smashing in the mirror on the wall, and it broke into pieces. He heaved in anger as he could feel his throat burning with hurt.Maya heard the shattering of glasses, and attempted to go after Grey when green eyes immediately feigned pain as he slumped on his knees. "Luna, please help me," he pleaded in short gasped as blood kept flowing out from where Grey had stabbed him.Maya turned to look in his direction and was horrified to see him in pains, and blood flowing out from his shoulder and staining it shirt. She looked over at the pack house where Grey had walked into and she was caught in between going after the man she just hurt, that she loved and helping a man she pitied, that was stabbed by her husband.Gwen shook her head as she looked at Maya. "Please, do not make the same mistake again. Please," she mouth
Grey refused to speak to Maya, and she was more than devastated, she was distraught. She had no idea what to do and Gwen was in her room calming her down."At least, you did not stay back to help him instead of going to meet the alpha," Gwen said to her."How is he?" Maya asked, realizing that she had not asked of him or gone to check how he was doing.Gwen snickered. "He's at the salutary's cabin. He should be fine," she replied. Nobody had helped green eyes to the cabin, and this morning, when Gwen had gone outside the pack house, she saw that he was no longer there, and she guessed him to be at the salutary's."Alright," she replied without much bother about green eyes as she fell flat on the bed. "Gwen, I really do not know what to do. He's not talking to me and worst of all, he's avoiding me," she added in hurt."Luna, I feel that you're allowing your marriage to suffer because of your good heartedness," Gwen replied, and Maya rose u
"I would not do that if I were you," Maya warned her as she threw her hand away and Riley's shocked face was immediately replaced with disgust. Reina began to panick when she saw Maya."What are you doing here, you lowlife omega?" Riley demanded in disgust."You seem to forget that I'm no longer that Maya that cowers before your presence," Maya reminded her."I'll keep reminding you that you're still under me, Maya. You're an omega and I will never stop reminding you of your roots," Riley said to her in anger."I heard what you said to Reina," Maya said, going straight to the point. "What kind of a mother are you, trying to instigate your daughter into doing evil?" Maya asked her."Mind your business, Maya Stone. What I discuss with my daughter is none of your concern," Riley replied in anger."I do not have the time to waste in battling words with you," Maya said to her and turned to Reina. "Let's go," she said to her, and Reina
The tears that glistened in Maya's eyes threatened to surface. "You have not the faintest idea what pain I'm going through," he said with naked pain in his eyes, and as he stared at her for a few fleeting seconds, he turned around and walked out of the room."Grey," she called after him softly as tears choked her throat, but he did not turn back. Her lips quivered as she bit her lower lip, to force back the tears as the brush slipped away from her hand.A few minutes later, she was out of the pack house, as it felt suffocating and nostalgic for her to be in. She walked towards the direction of the hillside. This time around, she wanted to be above the water, and as soon as she got to the top of the hill, hot tears cascaded down her cheeks. The cold night wind blew through her hair and her dress as she cried, lowering down on her knees.She cried for a long time without any idea that the night was far gone. She sniffled and as she finally stood up to turn a
Maya was rushed over to the salutary who attended to her while the rest of the pack house were in a frenzy. ** Five days later ***Grey held Maya's hand, his eyes not leaving her face as he hoped and prayed that she would open her eyes soon. Gwen was sitting at the opposite side of the bed, with her hands clasped in prayers. She has already told Grey all about Vivian. She had been the instigator of the lie that spread out in the heavens, just to get rid of Maya.It's been five days since Maya was in coma and she feared for her life. Grey had never left Maya's side since she was brought into the salutary's cabin. He was disoriented and too worried about her to worry about himself.He prayed fervently, every now and then for her to open her eyes. He prayed to whoever he hoped would answer. The Salutary had no idea if Maya would ever wake up, but yet, Grey did not lose hope.His heart, body and soul was wrenched in pain and the pain of losing Maya and the baby, hurt him the more.All of
"I didn't tell you who I am. How did you know?" Grey asked the witch."Who doesn't know the legendary Dark emperor who has now reincarnated into an alpha? I know you too well and I know what brought you here," she said. She had white streaks in her raven hair.Grey stared at her and waited for her to continue. "You're here concerning the apocalypse and the possible solution to it," she said and Grey nodded. "The ancestors have told me of your coming already," she added."You have been told all your life that light and darkness do not go hand in hand. It is an unbalanced force of nature, but you've been told lies all along," she said and they all stared at her in amazement except from Grey who was shocked."Light and darkness go together, alpha. That's why the mystical lake was placed in the demon world to prove that even the purest streak of light can be found in darkness. The child said to be born to initiate the apocalypse, is the wrong prophecy. The child is being born to unite the
"All these, are the reasons why I was hostile to Maya. I could not tell her about it and that was why I was being subtle in our separation until maybe I get a solution to it all," Grey said."Have you found anything?" Zing asked.Grey shook his head. "I went to meet the heavenly emperor. Someone stole the ancient book about the mystical lake in the demon world. The book holds invisible writings on how to merge the three worlds together using the lake as a connection. What this person is not aware of is that, this could destroy everything," he explained further."Who is this person?" Zing asked."I do not know. The heavenly emperor is pretending not to know. He only told me that the Heavenly mirror and the staff of light are tools in causing this destruction and these two properties of heaven are missing," Grey said.Zing narrowed his eyes. "They're with Maya," he replied."Not anymore. They were taken away from her," Grey said.
As soon as she was gone and out of his sight. Grey mounted the stairs. He got into the study room and in a fierce anger, he threw away every thing laying idly on the table over to the floor.He groaned in pain and hurt as he flung the desk in disarray. With that done, he crumbled to the floor, finding it hard to breathe as short gasped of painful tears gathered in his eyes and threatened to surface.•"Maya, you don't have to go. This can be settled," Gwen said to Maya in a pleading voice, outside the pack gate.Maya shook her head. "This cannot be settled, Gwen. I believe in Grey a lot and I do love him, but, this is the last straw that I can take. I do not know what has gotten into him, but, I cannot handle it any longer," she replied in a tear filled voice."Maya," Gwen began to say pitifully so she could stay, but Maya stood her ground, declining to stay back in the pack house.Just then, Zing showed up. "What'
Vivian is taken to the salutary by Grey while Maya still stood speechless for what has just happened. She could hardly believe her eyes. Can a push cause a miscarriage? She pondered. But, if she had not done that, she would have been the one on the ground with blood flowing down her legs.Grey got to the salutary's cabin and instructed the salutary to take attend to Vivian urgently. "Grey," Vivian called him through gasps as he turned to leave.He turned to her. "The salutary will attend to you. I'll be back," he said and with that, he walked out of the cabin and headed back to the pack house.Gwen walked down the stairs and saw Maya frozen in a spot. She was puzzled. "Maya?" She called her attention and Maya turned to look at her with an horrified look on her face.Gwen was shocked by this until she noticed the small stain of blood on the floor. She became confused as she approached her friend. "What happened?" She asked her.M
"Who is this person?" Grey asked him.Heavenly emperor stared at him. "It's for you to find out," he replied."Do not give me that, emperor. You're the heavenly emperor, right? You should know about this person that's about to cause a massive destruction in our worlds," Grey said, getting angry all over again.The heavenly emperor stared at him. "The emperor is all seeing, Verne. But, some things are hidden and without the heavenly mirror, it cannot be seen," he replied.Grey stared at him and exhaled. "How do we stop this?" He asked."Firstly, we cannot pair with each other because you're a demon emperor," the heavenly emperor replied."Enough of that nonsense, emperor. If we do not pair together to save our world, we'll all perish, irrespective of who's a demon or a god," Grey said, making a point and the heavenly emperor stared at him."Fine. Just for the sake of the worlds, I'm willing to put aside our differences an
"The both of you can go to hell for all I care," Vivian scoffed and without waiting to eat breakfast on the dining table, she picked up her plate and walked away in anger.She was walking towards the stairs when Grey was coming down the stairs. He wanted to ignore her, but he saw Maya walking down the stairs from the corner of his eyes."Where are you going with your breakfast?" He asked her."Is it not Zing and Gwen? They were speaking rude to me and warning me to stay away from you. That's why I'm heading to my room to eat my breakfast," she replied with a pitiful look on her face."What impertinence," Grey ranted as he walked away from Vivian and headed over to Zing.Maya was surprised by his sudden demeanor over Zing and she walked down the stairs, heading over to the dining table."Zing, what right do you have to talk to the mother of my child in such a manner?" Grey demanded in anger.Zing rose up as he scoffed. "A
It bothered him a lot. He turned to Athon. "Let him be buried immediately," Grey said and Athon nodded. "Do you perhaps know the reason on his death?" He inquired."I think I do, my Lord," Athon said as he walked over to the shelf. "One of the books on the shelf is missing, my Lord. It is the only book concerning the mysterious ancient lake," he replied.Grey was puzzled. "What has a book got to do with the death of the Mountain demon?" He asked him.Athon explained further. "The book withholds the secrets of the lake, my Lord. It is an ancestral powerful book that was discovered by the first demons," he said.Grey was still not getting what he was saying.Athon took in deep breaths. "Alpha, this book is said to consist of secret and invisible writings that no man can read. These writings when exposed, leads whoever is in control or possession of the book to the merging of all three worlds. The heavens, the earth and the demon world. I be
"I heard about your debts, Alfred," Grey began as he leaned back in his seat. "But, I must inform you before helping you out on this," he continued and Alfred was keened to what he was saying. "Your wife is responsible for your huge debts," he dropped the bombshell.Alfred was shocked. "What?" He exclaimed softly, puzzled and confused.Grey nodded. "I am not aware of how she does it, Alfred. But, to my best of knowledge, she collects money in your name because of her mother and I do not know what she uses them for. You should speak to her," he said."I'm quite shocked by this," Alfred said and his expression said it all. "So, Lisa has been doing this without my knowledge?" He asked himself, still stunned."Do not quarrel with the naive woman, Alfred. She has been doing all That because of her mother. But, that's by the way," Grey said as he tapped his index finger on the desk. "Get those payments from your wife, settle those people she g
