"Do not ask me that," Riley retorted, her head spinning. The news of Maya's wedding was infuriating her.
Killian let the pieces of the invitation card fall down on his feet, as he bridged the gap between him and Riley. "Why worry too much, dear? This is probably just formalities," Killian said, holding her by the waist, knowing that she was upset about the invitation."Let go of me," Riley said, flinging his hands away, and moving to the other side as she eyed him with disdain.Killian sighed. "This could be a cover up for the real act Grey intends to do with her, Riley," he said, trying to pacify her thoughts."Is that what you think?" She inquired. "If so, why didn't he just do it without distributing invitation cards. I'm sure we're not the only one that got invited," she added, fuming in anger."We all know he gets his strength and power from the blood of women. The rumors have been verified true. Soon, he'll use her too. He must beGwen's eyes were filled with sympathy for Maya, and Maya shook her head refusing to accept the pity she was getting from Gwen. "No, please. I'm not telling you this so you'll feel sympathy for me. I do not open to anyone, but I really cannot tell why I'm opening up to you. I just feel kind of connected to you in a way that I can't explain," Maya explained to her.Gwen held her hand. "So do I, Luna. Right from the day I set my eyes on you in the alpha's room, I felt drawn towards you. You can confide in me any day Luna, and if I may be of help in any way, please, do not hesitate to reach out to me," Gwen replied, her eyes shimmering. Maya smiled, and placed her hand over Gwen's own, and nodded. "And about the pack members, do not worry about them. They won't be able to harm you," Gwen assured her.Maya was puzzled. "Why do you say so?" She asked."I've seen the way the alpha looks at you, Luna. A look of protectiveness. I'm very sure he'll ensure the pack m
"You shouldn't do anything contrary to my words, brown eyes," he said, narrowing his eyes down at her."My dress is not revealing," she replied to him, and winced at his painful grip on her hand."Your thighs are only mine to see," he growled possessively, and she shuddered."Did you not see the dress before picking it?" Maya inquired.Grey recalled how he had just sat in the clothing store, and ordered the attender there to fill in bags of the best clothes she could think of. He shook his head. "I didn't," he replied."I am decently dressed. You don't have to be insecure," she said, staring at him."I'm not insecure," he said confidently. "I know no one can have you other than me," he growled possessively."Prove it by letting me go," she said, and he stared at her as he loosened his hold on her arm. Maya pulled away and got into the car, and Gwen followed, closing the door.Grey turned to the gamma. "Keep an e
Grey had decided against only Jaden going to the location the gamma had given him. He had left the study immediately to find Jaden, and they both came to where the car had broke down. Jaden was a gamma who was good in fixing cars in the pack house.Looking ahead, he had seen the hem of her floral print dress, and noticed something was amiss.Maya swallowed, as eye contact between she and Grey did not break, neither did the closeness of his body against hers. Her heart was in her throat, as she stared at him,unblink unblinking."Who the fuck are you, uh?" The drunk man demanded, breaking the air of ominous silence between them. "This is my prize for tonight. Go find yourself somewhere else," he barked at Grey, his tone too sharp to Grey's displeasure.Grey turned away from Maya as he let go of her. "Walk away," he said, not in a pleasing mood to argue with the dim witted, half drunk man before him."What will you do, if I don't?" He dared
Grey drove into the pack house, and has he brought the car to an abrupt stop, Maya fell forward. She had to place her hands in front of her to stop her from hitting her head on the headboard of the car.Gwen had the same impact, but she held Maya's head seat to prevent her from hitting her head too. Maya let out a little gasp, and looked over at Grey with a are you for real? Look.Gwen got out of the car, the tensed air in the car making her nervous. Grey got out of the car, the same time Maya was getting out of the car.Maya closed the car door, and her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Grey. She was shocked, which was immediately replaced with a terrified look when he began to drag her towards the pack house.They got into the pack house, and Grey kept dragging her up to the stairs. "Someone save me from this barbarian," Maya whimpered, but there was no one to help her.They got into the room, and Maya forcefully pulled her hand away, sudde
Grey went over to stables and found Zing discussing with Jack. They noticed his presence and stopped immediately to greet him. "Good morning, alpha," they said in unison."Morning. What is the discussion about?" He inquired when he got closer to them."Jack was just giving me a list of horses ready to sold," Zing explained."And they are?" Grey asked with an inquisitive brow raised up."Cinnabar, Colan, Lightning, Flake, and Cilantro," he listed out.Grey adjusted the wrist of his shirt as he walked into the stables, with Zing and Jack right behind him. "Leave out Cilantro. Take any other horse as her replacement, then, you take Cilantro out of the selling quarters, and place her beside Ace," he ordered."Okay, alpha," Jack responded."Is she better now?" Grey asked about Cilantro."Yes, alpha," Jack replied.They got to the stall where Cilantro was, and Grey ruffled her mane. "How are you, girl?" He as
"You have violated the heavens law, Alyssa, and you must be punished for it," the heavenly Lord said to Alyssa who was on her knees before him. She was was trying to steady her heartbeat, but she could not. The heavenly angels had been merciless with her before bringing her before the Lord."Whatever punishment you bring... I'll take it," she replied out of breath. A trickle of blood was visible at the side of lips."I'm going to give you one last chance, Alyssa. I have a proposal that will benefit you a lot," he said to her, and all she did was stare at him. "Decide between Verne, and your position as the goddess of this heaven," he proposed to her.She scoffed. "We both know what I'm going to pick, Lord," she replied to him."You'll choose being with the demon lord and lose your position in the heavens?" He demanded, trying not to get riled up."Any day, any time," she responded boldly, and he could not take it any more.H
Maya took a step back from the stairs. Her anxiety taking a hold of her. Gwen placed a comforting hand on her shoulders. "I'm right behind you, Luna," Gwen assured her."They are...staring at me...with scorn," Maya gasped, as she could feel her head spinning. The look she kept getting from the people few feet away from the last stairs got her agitated."The alpha is just a few paces away from these people. Do not paid heed to the countenance on their faces," Gwen suggested."My pack is here. The alpha, and his Luna," Maya said with a trembling voice.Gwen had a belief that was what was affecting Maya. She prodded her gently. "Today is the day to prove to them that they have no power over you. Show them that you're no longer their omega and they cannot dictate your life from henceforth. Take the reins of your own life into your hands, Luna, please," Gwen pleaded, giving her words of encouragement.Maya inhaled deeply as she took a step dow
Grey clenched his hands into a fist, holding in the swirl of emotion that threatened to surface inside of him. "Don't move," he said, as he slowly approached her. Maya shut her eyes tight, shivering in fear. The pack members and the guests stood, watching in reverence as they wondered how Grey was going to get the viper off her back.Vivian smiled in joy when she saw the serpent on Maya. The end of the lowlife omega. I just can't wait to see her lying dead on the floor, she thought, still smiling.The serpent slowly crept around her neck, and the hairs at the back of her neck stood still in fear. Maya gulped hard, knowing that she would not able to withstand this slithering serpent on her, but, if she moves just a little bit, the fangs of this poisonous snake were be buried d
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
