"You decided to hate me because Grey chose me. You decided to become malicious, just because you were not wanted by him and an omega took your place," Maya continued.
"You made me this way!" Vivian yelled at Maya. "You turned me into this monster, this ravenous predator. All these I am and more is because of you, Maya. I hate you with all my being!" She ranted in anger.Maya swallowed. She never did understand what part of her attracted hates from people. She nodded. " I did not make you this way, Vivian. You decided to become this way. Now I understand what Grey had said. There's nothing like good and evil. People do what's in their best interest," she replied and Vivian stared hard at her."Get out of my room, Maya. Now, before I do something stupid," she said in anger as she raised her hand up and with her index finger, she pointed at the door.Maya turned around and walked out of the room. As she closed the door, suddenly, her heart clenched a"We'll find it and just like before, the heavenly emperor will get it the same way he got them from the thief," Maya replied."Maya," Gwen tried to talk sense into her."Gwen, I did not listen to you in the past, I will not listen to you now," Maya made known her intention to her as she continued. "Will you help me?" Maya asked her.Gwen sighed. "I cannot turn my back against you, Maya and you know it," she replied."Thank you very much," Maya sniffed. "How do we go about it? I have lost my prowess as a goddess," she added.Gwen exhaled. "I still have mine. Remembering my past brought it all back," she replied.Maya sighed in relief. "Alright, let's go," she said."Wait, let me come with you both," Zing suggested.Gwen was about to decline, but Maya nodded. "We would need all the help we can get," Maya said."I have all the weirdest feelings that things are about to become worse," Gwen said as
Zing turned the first lock and it turns out to be the right lock. He carefully went through the patterns of the lock once more. Turning on the next equivocal key lock, it also turned out to be the right lock.He continued to examine each lock before turning it until all the six keys unlocked and formed a triangular prism pattern on the upholstered embodiment.Maya sighed in relief as it opened up, revealing the heavenly mirror and the staff of light.As she reached for the mirror and took it, it sharp edge pricked her finger and a drop of her blood fell into the mirror and the mirror absorbed it. "Ouch," she said slightly in pain."What happened?" Gwen asked in worry."It's nothing. It just pricked me," she replied as she took out the mirror, including the staff of light. The Heavenly guards immediately trooped into the room, surrounding them.Not again, Maya thought in her head. But this time, she was not an heavenly body, but G
Zing and the warriors alongside Maya and Gwen, they got to the cabin. Zing alighted from the horse and he helped Maya and Gwen down."You both should wait here and do not come out no matter what, okay?" He gave them a strict order and they nodded."Good. We'll be back soon," Zing said and swung back on the Horse and with that, they all rode towards the cabin.The rogues around it charged towards them and a fight ensued. Grey could hear the fight outside and he knew that his people had come for him. His wolf eyes revealed and his fingers turned into claws. He could not compli transform because he was still weak. He was using his last energy to summon his wolf.With his claws, he tried his best to cut the ropes around his wrists.Killian emerged, a look of panic on his face as he looked out the window to see Zing and the dark moon warriors fighting against the rogues."How did they find me?" He muttere
Maya turned to leave but his words stopped her. "What were you doing on the battlefield?" He demanded.She paused as she turned around to look at him."I told you before, Grey. I allowed her come with me," Zing interjected.Without turning to look at Zing, he replied. "I know Maya very well, Zing. She forced you to allow her come with you and you had no choice but to agree," he replied."It's..." Zing began to speak again as he was ready to defend Maya, but Grey raised a finger up, silencing him."Do not interfere in this, Zing," Grey cut in.Maya stepped away from the stairs. "It's fine, Zing. You do not have to defend me," she said to Zing and turned to look at Grey. "And to your question, you were in trouble and I came to your aid," she replied Grey."Did I tell you that I was in trouble? Did I ask for your help?" He inquired.She narrowed her eyes at him. "Is this what you want now? To find fault in everythi
"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
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
"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
"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
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
