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 wished the wedding could just be done with, but, the night was not over yet. They all moved to the hall were varieties of platters of dishes were in food chafers placed on long tables. This was were the celebration of the marriage between Grey and Maya was to take place. Enough merriment for the guests and the pack members. The omegas were attending to the guests, holding up trays that had glasses of wine or cocktail on it. Riley picked a glass of wine, took a sip from it, and twirled it in her hands. "An after celebration after the wedding?" She scoffed. "You were so wrong, Killian," she said to her husband. Killian shrugged beside her. "Does it matter? I guarantee you it won't last. Did you not see what happened out there, my dear?" He inquired, and Riley stared at her. "Those serpents did not slither into this place on their own. They were planted here. I'm sure other people do not want them married either," he stated out the facts.
All the guests in the pack house retired back to their various territorial abodes. The omegas were cleaning up the living room that was infected with stench of dead serpents. The night was not over yet, and Maya was standing by the window of Grey's bedroom, which was now officially hers too, staring out into the dark sky, with her elbow propped up on the window pavement, and her hand underneath her chin. Looking at the twinkling stars in the grey sky, her body barely seen in the dark room, with a dim light illuminating the room, she was like a silhouette princess inside a high tower in distress.She had a long pastel pink nightdress on, her mind far away, and lost into the night just like she was.The door to the bedroom opened, revealing an already changed Grey. He was no longer dressed in his wedding attire, but in a grey flannel pants, and shirtless to his w
Maya gasped at the impact of his tongue as he suckled from her breast, running his tongue around her thrusting nipple. She moaned as every inch of her body craved for his touch. She had no fair knowledge of what he was doing to her, but she liked it.Pleasures, sensations, and feelings built inside of her and it was like a volcano ready to erupt. He stood up and took off his pants and she was appalled by his hardened member.He saw the look on her face, and raised a brow. "Don't act like you haven't seen a man's nudity before," he said to her. She has in fact seen a naked male before and it was Killian, but with the body of a god she was seeing before her, she was appalled by the size of his elongated piece of meat he possessed in between his legs.He saw the fear in her eyes as he lay on her. He kissed her to
The morning rays filtered through the window and the repeated knock on the door stirred Maya up from her sleep."Yes?" She asked in a tired voice."Luna.." the voice of Gwen came through the door.Maya sat up on the bed, and groaned inwardly. "It's opened," she said as she covered her nudity with the covers of the bed.The door opened, and Gwen walked in. "Good morning, Luna," she greeted with curtsey."Morning, Gwen," Maya responded as she stifled a yawn with the back of her hand."The alpha sent me to ask you if you needed anything," she stated her reason for being in the room."Oh, where is he?" Maya inquired of his whereabout
The pack house was as silent as a graveyard until Elder John spoke. "Take it easy, alpha. What if it was an outsider?" He asked. "What impertinent question is this, Elder?" He asked, keeping his tone as calm as possible. But, he was infuriated by the dumb question asked by John. "An outsider does not have the impudence to come in here and do this. No outsider was recorded by the sentinels before the wedding. What happened last night was done by an insider, and there is no disputing that," Grey said, and turned back to face the pack members. "Whoever committed that degradation of last night should own up to it by tomorrow or else..." He said, his eyes spitting fire, and his tone venomous, as he stared at them one after the other. "Dismiss," he waved his hand, and the pack members dispersed, each of them thoughts racing. Only the elders were still present, including Zing, Jayden and the gamma chief, Hillard. Vivian shrugged as she placed her hands in the
Maya walked into the room, and Grey was standing by the window. His back was turned against hers until he heard her close the door. Maya leaned on the closed door with a sigh, as Grey looked at her. "Grey..." She began to speak but he cut her short. "Why did you go against my wish?" He demanded. She moved away from the door. "It is a pack tradition, and it seems there's no escaping it," she said. "To hell with that!" Grey's tone levitated. "I was against it, and you should have respected that," he said angrily. She stared at him. "I don't have to answer to you," she replied, and attempted to walk away from him. He grabbed her arm, and pulled her back roughly. "This should be the last time you'll attempt to walk out on me," he said, his tone dangerously low. "Do you know what you've gotten yourself into?" He asked her in anger. "It's nothing that I can't handle," she replied with a defiant chin. He let go of her infuriated as he lifted his hands mid air in annoyance. "What the h
Maya got back into the kitchen and began to dish out the Creole gumbo she had prepared, into small deep ceramic plates. Arranging them in trays according to how many elders would be present in the dining room with the inclusion of Grey, Zing, and the gamma chief, Hillard. The omegas were to serve themselves and the rest of the pack after she was done.Gwen opened the kitchen door. "The elders are here, including the alpha and the beta," Gwen told her, and Maya inhaled."Okay, I think I'm good to go," she replied."Um, Vivian is at the table too," Gwen told her with a sorry look on her face.Maya braced up. "It's fine. I'll just dish out for one more," she responded with a nervous smile. After dishing out for Vivian, she walked out of the kitchen and into dining room.
His change in demeanor took everyone aback, and the atmosphere in the dining room was tensed, and was silent as a graveyard. He stared at them one after the other, his eyes daring them to utter one more word. They contemplated on what was going on in his mind, what he would say, and it killed them the more when his eyes did the talking. His eyes accusing each of the elders of having a hand in what was going on at the moment.This was one of the moments Grey's silence was greatly feared. When a man who said only a few words was silent, they knew it was perilous. He has been provoked."I sat here without saying a word, watching you all bash your Luna on a failed test, and I did not react," he said, his anger was on a thin line that was about to snap. "What I would not tolerate is your disrespect to her. Not only did you deem it fit to accuse her, you all disregar
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
