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'
"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.
"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
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
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 before it finally erupted into flames. Alyssa quivered, as someone yelled out, "they're escaping!" and the enemies charged towards their direction."Run!" Verne said pushing Alyssa forward as he blocked the telekinetic waves that one of the clan had released from his hand. Using his telekinesis to take away a few arrows the men were pulling, he drove them into the hearts of the other clans.In Alyssa's haste to do his bidding, she fell to the ground and in a blur, a burst of flame erupted out of nowhere, and from the corner of her eyes, I could see a flaming tree falling towards her directio
On a sleeping pad, Maya was shivering, as she shook her head side to side, a trickle of tears rolled down her eyelines without her knowledge. "Please," she muttered out as she clenched the thin fabric covering her sleeping pad. She was jolted out of her sleep as she felt a rush of cold water poured on her body. She gasped in shock as she sat up, and wiping her eyes to see clearly, she stared at her drenched body, and then looked at the perpetrator of the act.There Emily stood, with one hand akimbo, and an empty pail dangling in her other hand. "Wake up, lazy brat," she spat out viciously."What the hell, Emily? Was that really necessary?" Maya asked her, as she tried to catch her breath, not just from the coldness of the water, but also from the dream she was jolted out of."You deserve more than that for still being in bed by this hour. Now, get up you daughter of a nitwit, and begin your chores," Emily said.Maya stared hard at her. "You're not the one to give me orders to carry ou
Maya could hear the giggles of the other omegas, and she knew immediately that her fall was not by accident. They had intentionally spilled water on the ground which made her slip. She slowly rose to her feet, and they jeered. "The floor suits you better, Maya. You should keep laying down," one of the omegas taunted, as Maya stood. She turned around in anger, and heaved. It's not worth it, Alysia said, knowing her intent.Maya ignored her wolf, and was walking up to them when she caught sight of the Luna and Emily, she stopped in her tracks, but they had already seen her."Were you not about to hit her? Come on, go ahead," Emily taunted her, and Maya gritted her teeth, as tears stung her eyes. She had to tolerate all of the humiliations because they all had the backing of the Luna."Emily," Riley said as she curled her fingers, unable to control her detest and anger anymore. "Yes, Luna," Emily answered."Drag this peasant by the hair to her room. If she dares to challenge you, run t
"No-no, not at all," Killian stuttered, forcing himself to smile."Then, why didn't I get an invitation?" Grey asked but it was more like a demand, and Killian forced himself not to tremble at the sound of his voice."I.. I.. thought I did," he lied. Killian had intentionally not sent an invitation to Grey. He was greatly afraid of the man, and had heard rumors about women not surviving a night with him. He could not possibly hand his daughter to such a man as Grey Stone. A man who has never smiled before.Grey scoffed. "Do you know what I do to people who lie to me?" He asked, and Killian swallowed. "I cut off their tongue," Grey said without an trace of emotion in his voice, as he motioned to an omega standing by. Killian took a step back without his knowledge. The other alphas dared not to speak while Grey was still in the room.Trembling with the tray in her hand, she walked towards him, her heart in her throat. Everyone knew about him, a fearsome alpha, and the only alpha in the
