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
Killian didn't lie when he said the girl before him was prettier than his daughters, but that wasn't why Grey accepted to take her. He was taking her because she was his mate, and that, no one knew, not even her.Grey made Maya stand properly as he turned to Killian. "It is settled then," Killian said with a nervous smile. He was glad that he his conniving tricks had worked.Grey turned sideways. "Ready the car, we're leaving," he said to the three gammas that came with him, and they immediately went to do his bidding. Maya could hardly believe her ears. She was going to leave the Oasis pack to the dark moon pack. Was that not like jumping from frying pan to fire?She turned pleading eyes to Killian. "Please alpha, don't do this to me," she pleaded softly. Killian ignored her and turned to Grey. "You can take her away," he said, and Maya's heart ached. Why was fate being cruel to her? What wrong has she committed to be a living soul? She wondered in confusion and hurt."You don't tel
Maya groggily opened her eyes, and her eyes were still dazed as she slowly looked around. She placed her hand on her head and let out an audible hiss. "Where am I?" She asked no one in particular, as her eyes began to adjust to the unfamiliar dimly lit room."My room." Grey's voice came from the opposite direction, and she turned sharply to him. Her twin pool brown velvet eyes dilated as horror washed all over her. She had thought everything about Grey taking her away was a nightmare, she had just woke up from.Grey's cold icy blue eyes met hers. His lips was pursed in a thin line, as he stared at her. "Why did you faint?" He asked her."Is there ever a reason why someone would faint?" She asked with a frown on her face, as she looked away from him, and when her eyes met his again, she wished the ground would just open and swallow her whole. The look on Grey's face at her sarcastic reply was not pleasant. If looks could kill, she could have been dead. She swallowed hard and looked dow
Maya's eyes fluttered, as the sun rays filtered through the window, and rested on her face. She stifled a yawn, as she stretched lazily. For the first time in years, she had a somewhat peaceful night rest. The bed had been so soft that she could barely keep her eyes open. Occasionally, she was bothered by the fact that she was in Grey's room, and he could walk in at any moment, and either drag her out, or force her to stay in the bed with him.That would be nice, her wolf, Alysia said in a cocky way.Shut up, you should be thinking of ways to escape this place, and not dirty thoughts, Maya said, scolding her.She looked at the other side of the bed, and realized that Grey had not showed up in the room since last night. She had just being worried without a reason. Did I inconvenience him? She thought aloud.She got up from the bed, and since she got into Grey's room, she was finally able to notice the details his room entails. She noticed his walls were a color of dark grey, and the lo

"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
