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 mouthGrey 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
Grey ran all the way over to the hillside and when he got there, truly there was a body at the other end of the river. The upper part of her body, laying close to a boulder. The tides and currents of the river must have carried her, and washed her over there. His heart twisted in pain as he realized that the body belonged to his wife. Without any hesitation or thoughts he jumped into the river to save her, and he prayed and hoped that he was not too late.He swam over to her, and has he got to where she was, he saw blood trickling down her forehead. "Maya, please wake up," he pleaded as he tapped her pale face that was turning blue already.•They returned to the pack house and Grey was running over to the salutary's cabin with Maya in his arms and a panicking Gwen behind them, alongside Zing and the warriors."Salutary!" Zing yelled, and at his shout, the salutary immediately came out, as he sensed that something was amiss."Oh my w
"But, why are we dressed like this?" Maya asked in confusion. They were dressed like the likes of the ancient times. They were dressed like powerful rules. The one that looked like Maya was dressed in a white apparel befitting a goddess. The man who looked like Grey, was dressed as a dark lord, an emperor. Maya mused as she saw them.They walked past her smiling, without saying anything to her. "Hey, where are you both going? Can you not see me?" She asked in agitation, but they walked right pass her.All of a sudden, she was pulled into another scenario, and she saw the same couple has she had seen. "Verne," Maya's look alike called."I'm over here, Alyssa," he responded, as he moved away from the dark corner of the house, she was standing in.Maya's heart throbbed, and her head began to ache. She was stunned. "This is what Verne and Alyssa look like?" She mused in shock. "Like me and Grey?" Her heartbeat began to accelerate.Once again,
Grey was shocked, but it was immediately replaced with hope as he scampered up to his feet. "Salutary!" Gwen called out loud, and the salutary who was outside the cabin, and telling the pack members not to come into the cabin to see Maya's dead body, just as Grey had instructed, ran into the cabin."What is it?" He asked in anxiety as he got in."The Luna... She just moved her fingers," Gwen announced and the salutary was shocked."Maya, are you in there?" Grey asked as he peered over her face in hurt and anxiety."Move aside, let me check her," the salutary said and Gwen quickly moved away, giving him room.The salutary immediately checked her pulse and indeed there was life in her body. He checked her eyes and then her heartbeat. He could hear a slow steady beating."This is a miracle. She's alive," he announced, and Grey's heart leaped for joy while fresh tears of happiness rolled down Gwen's cheeks. "I have never seen such a
Reina curved a smile. Everyone at the pack house were thinking that Vivian was the evil one. They believed she was the one seeking for Maya and Grey's separation so she could be with him. Little did they know that Reina was there for a purpose. Her mother had planted her there to get back at Maya and Grey for the loss of her reins of power. Stefan who was now dubbed by Maya as green eyes was also a tool of Riley's.This was all her game plan. Reina had told her mother about Vivian's dedication in ruining Grey and Maya's chances to Be together, and Riley had decided to make most of the things happening in the pack house look like it was Vivian's doings.Vivian had her own motive in all of these, and they knew it. Reina had been aware of Vivian's plan to poison Maya through Cora, and being aware of this, she took it as an opportunity. Yes, Reina poisoned Maya and no one in the pack house knew about it and now, Reina was also responsible for the state Maya was in.
Soon, the news of Maya's waking up, spread out in the pack house, but still, it was only the specific people he wanted in the room that were there to see her."Thank the moon goddess that you're awake, Luna. You scared all of us," Gwen said to her and Maya smiled a little. She was seated on the bed with her head resting on the headboard. Grey was seated beside her, holding her hand, as he was afraid that this was a dream and he could lose her again."With what you all have told me, I'm quite amazed to be alive," Maya replied."It was the alpha's love that brought you back, Luna. I do not believe in things like this, but with what I have seen in the past couple of days, I believe the moon goddess granted you life again because of the alpha," Zing said with a smile.Maya looked at Grey and she smiled at him and he squeezed her hand gently. She placed her head on his shoulders having no doubts that Zing was right, but this time around, there was a li
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
