Grey walked away from the counter and approached them. "If my wife has asked you to leave, you should listen," he said and walked over to Maya.
"Have I done anything wrong?" Green eyes asked with a startled expression on his face."Far from it. This is for your own benefit. You did not lose your memory here, and therefore you can't regain them here. I did not think of this properly before until now," Maya replied with a friendly small smile."You're sending me back to the rivers?" He asked."What's with all the questions?" Grey asked as he narrowed his eyes at green eyes, then he turned soft eyes towards Maya as he continued. "Do you say, we should give him till dusk?" Grey asked her.She leaned closer to him. "If that is alright with you, then, I'll agree," she said sweetly.Grey turned to green eyes with an hardened expression. "By dusk, you should have evacuated the pack house," he said and then continued. "Roam around the wooGrey looked at Vivian with cold eyes. "What do you mean by you're pregnant? What does it have to do with me?" He asked her.She had a cynical smile on her face. "Remember the one night we had together that you keeo denying? Well, Alpha Grey Stone, I'm pregnant for you. The Salutary confirmed it this afternoon," she said to him.Maya could barely move. She just stood rooted to the spot. She trusted Grey, she believed him that he has nothing to do with Vivian, but with this news she did not know what to believe anymore.Eli cleared his throat. "I was there when the salutary broke the news to her, alpha. She was heartbroken because she knew that you would not want to accept the baby," he said.Grey narrowed his eyes. "Of course, I'm not accepting the child. The child isn't mine," Grey stood his ground."Whether you accept it or not, Alpha, Vivian is carrying an heir to this pack house. What your wife have not been able to do for nine months,
The salutary nodded. "Yes, Luna. You're pregnant. Do not tell me that you were not aware?" He asked with a puzzled look.Maya shook her head. She has not been calculating and was not aware that she had missed her monthly flow. "How far gone am I?" She asked him."Six weeks gone," he replied with a smile.Maya's joy knew no bounds, but she knew that this had to be a secret. What if anyone tries to harm her baby? She wondered and quickly forbade it. She looked at the salutary. "Does anyone else know about it?" She asked him.He shook his head. "I wanted to break the news to you first," he replied.She quickly grabbed his hand. "Please, do not tell anyone about this, not even Grey," she pleaded.He was shocked and puzzled at the same time as he stared at her. He never expected her to hold his hand and beg him to keep her pregnancy a secret."Please," Maya pleaded again.He sighed. "I really do not know why you want
Vivian turned her attention back to Gwen after staring at Grey in anger as he left with Mia in his arms. "Did I not just give you an order?" She demanded.Gwen stared hard at her. "I will not be the person to do such despicable thing. You do not belong up there, in the alpha's room. I'll advise you to return back to your father's house," Gwen retorted."What outrageous audacity you have, you little omega. How dare you speak to the elder's daughter in such a manner? Have you no fear of what my father can do?" She demanded in anger."He can do nothing, Vivian. You both are just toothless bulldogs, raving without actions," Grey replied before Gwen could say anything as he walked down the stairs.Vivian was horrified at his words as she stared at him descending the stairs. "You should not say words like that to the woman carrying your child," she said to him and Gwen snickered and looked away.Grey got to where Vivian was, and his height towe
Gwen jolted out of her sleep as perspiration dotted on her forehead. She gulped hard as she looked around, heaving in perplexity. What's going on? She asked herself.She placed her hand on chest and tried to steady her breathing. Why does she feel so suffocated? Why does it feel like everything she just dreamt about was real? And why the connection too? She wondered.She placed her head back on the pillow, her eyes still open and unable to return back to sleep. It had all been a dream, but yet, the dream felt like a reality.•Lightning struck across the pale gloomy sky as thunder rumbled through the heavens. The fire burst around the house spreading tiny sparks of flames everywhere. The house was falling apart as the fire licked through the woods.Alyssa could see smoke rising through the chimney as she panicked. "Come on, let's go," Verne said as he held her and they ran towards the backdoor.They got out of the house
He was too weak to defend her or himself, but he used himself as a body shield to protect her from the multiple arrows that were aimed towards her. He stood in front of her, unmoving, as the clan released the arrows and they pierced into his body, and he fell on his knees."No, please, no," Alyssa sobbed as she fell beside him. He cupped her face and smiled sadly. "In every life, I'll find you," he said to her and with that he slumped to the ground.Alyssa screamed and it was deafening as it echoed in the trees. Maya and Grey were standing there throughout the whole scenery.|||Maya and Grey opened their eyes at once as they could still feel the connection they had in the dream. "You were in my dream," Maya finally spoke. Grey's hand covered hers. "No, we had one dream. We were in the same dream," he corrected her. He squeezed her hand. "I told you I'll find you in every life," he added with a small smile.She sm
No, please, no," Alyssa sobbed as she fell beside him. Another arrow pierced through his skin and she looked in horror as she saw who the person was.Grey shuddered as he cupped her face and smiled sadly. "In every life, I'll find you," he said to her and with that he slumped to the ground.Alyssa screamed and it was deafening as it echoed in the trees. Maya and Grey were standing there throughout the whole scenery, looking horrified.Alyssa looked over at the demon clan that had just killed her husband and then there was, Elijah, his . He had struck the arrow that killed Verne.•Maya and Grey opened their eyes at the same time and Maya heaved. "It was Eli. Eli is responsible for our separation," she said in shock.Grey closed his eyes and thought mentally. He recalled how Eli had been against him getting married to Maya right from day one and had brought out outrageous rules, just to get her out of the house.Grey
"Do not start what you cannot finish, Maya," Vivian said, her blood boiling with rage and her venomous eyes glaring hard at Maya.Maya equally stood her ground and was unmoved by the deadly aura radiating from Vivian's body. She snickered. "Believe me, Vivian, you can do nothing. You have tried to hurt me in the past and have failed miserably. This time around, it will be no difference," she replied.Vivian got up on her feet and advanced towards Maya. Maya stood up from her chair, ready to brace whatever was coming. But, she had one thing in mind. To protect her baby. As Vivian got closer to her, Maya could feel something in her stomach kick. She placed her hand on her stomach. Was it not too early for the baby to kick? She wondered, until the kick hit her more like a pain, sharper than the first one. She let out a gasp.Vivian stopped and sneered. "I have not even done what's in my mind and you're already in pains," she mocked.Gwen held Maya. "
"Who are you and how did you get in here?" Maya asked him in perplexity as she stared at him.He had a faint smile evident on his lips as he looked at her. Grey walked out of the bathroom and equally saw the man.He raised a brow and as the man turned to look in his direction, Grey remembered him immediately. "It's been a long time, Verne," the man said and Grey stared at him."Should I say the pleasure is mine? Xander?" Grey inquired.Maya narrowed her brow as she wondered what was going on. Xander Chuckled. "Perhaps," he replied as he looked at Maya and saw the confused look on her face. "Forgive my manners, Alyssa. I'm Xander, the news bearer of the heavens," he introduced.She knitted her brows together. "The news bearer I know is Hermes," she responded."Over the centuries, he has been changed," Xander responded."Then, how do you know Grey?" She asked.Xander looked over at Grey and smiled. "Grey and I hav
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
