Grey and Zing arrived at the council meeting. The alphas and betas were already seated in the meetings cabin, waiting impatiently for them. One thing about Grey that was surprising was how he expected things to be done according, how he expected things to be done on time, and yet he was always the one waited upon, and he always appeared at meetings usually late.
To him, when he sets a time for a thing to be done, he expects his instructions to be followed to the latter, without disappointments, and readily on time. But, if he was not the one responsible for the time addressed, he literally does whatever he feels like. He was a no respecter of any man, especially not the greedy and selfish men on this table.
"Gentlemen, shall we begin this meeting?" Grey asked suddenly, as he walked into the room with Zing behind him, and everyone that had been talking, kept qui
"Zing," Grey motioned to Zing as he started to walk away and he understood. Zing got up, and followed behind him. They got out of the cabin and Zing stopped Grey. "What the hell happened in there?" He demanded."A rebellion is starting, Zing, that's what is happening," he replied as he turned away, walking towards the direction the car was parked."No one talks to you in such disdainful manner, Grey. We have to put a stop to this madness," Zing said, seething in rage.Grey got to the car and stood by the door. "When the drums of war are beaten, you don't run away, Zing, neither do you take rash decisions. You build your army so large that no one dares pick the fight," he replied with a bland look on his face."The alphas are getting out of control. Will this keep them in
Maya wet her lips innocently as Grey gazed into her eyes, and it heightened his desire the more. "If you continue with this, I'll have you here and now," he said huskily.A little smile tugged at the corner of her lips, and his hand slide up her bare back. "What about dinner?" She asked him in a throaty whisper. She was also getting affected by the feel of his hand on her skin."Dinner can wait," he whispered huskily on her lips before crushing it with his. He held the side of her face as he kissed her deeply. With her eyes closed, she entwined her arms around his neck, pulling him in for more.He spread her legs apart, and rubbed her wet core in circular motion. She was extremely wet as she moaned under his lips.Sliding his hands to her waist, he expertly peeled off th
"What are you waiting for?" She asked in a hushed whisper filled with seductiveness, and that was all he needed. He carried her into his arms, her legs perfectly wrapped around his waist. He kissed her deeply as she undid the buttons of his flannel long sleeves.Dumping her ceremoniously on the bed, Maya assisted him in taking off his shirt, and he took off his trousers.With a burning and unquenchable desire for each other, their body fused as one as his magical fingers rekindled the fire he had masterfully lit up inside of her.Her body ached with the need of his touch, as his lips devoured every part of her skin, tracing kisses on her navel, down to her dripping wet core.Each of his teasing down there drew from the very core of her womanhood, as she held his head tig
"What if we do not get to be together, someday?" She asked him as they walked through the untouched woods of the Grove.He stopped immediately, and turned to her. "How could you think of such a thing?" He asked, disappointment evident in his voice.She held his hands, and smiled sadly. "Do not get me wrong, my Lord. With the situation between us, the heavens and the demon clan, I fear for the uncertainty. What if..." She began to speak, worry etched on her brows and evident in her voice.He lifted her chin up. "Life's full of ifs, Alyssa. But, let's accentuate the positive, shall we?" He replied, and she sighed."But, Verne," she protested. It was as if she could feel the doom lurking around, was already looming over their he
Grey walked into the pack house and saw Maya seated in the living room with Reina and Gwen. She seemed to be getting more acquainted with Reina each passing day.He walked over to where she was seated, and he bent over, placing a kiss on her cheek. She was surprised, as she turned sharply to see him grinning devilishly at her. A blush crept up her cheeks as she felt waves of heat flush through her skin."You're back," she said with an innocent smile.He stroked her hair. "Yeah, did you miss me?" He inquired, his eyes twinkling in amusement.She scoffed. "You wish," she replied."Really?" He asked with a raised brow.She smiled sweetly as she giggled.
The sun rays filtered through the slightly apart curtains, and rested its golden warm rays on the lovebirds, whose hearts beat as one, but unable to acknowledge their feelings or let each other to be aware of the love that ran through their veins and into their hearts.They were like an irregular shape on the bed, but yet cemented in perfection. Grey's head was on Maya's bosom, as she had clung on to him tightly throughout the night, and Grey's arm encircled her waist closely, with her knees curled him, and yet he did not relinquish his hold on her. He held her like he was holding on to his last piece of life.He held her in a manner of someone he never wanted to lose, and was afraid of losing. She held him as her comforter. Someone who had managed effortlessly to bring light into her darkened world.In their own li
"Let go of me," Ariella said through gritted teeth to one of the gods that dragged her towards the heavenly emperor's chambers."Be quiet," he barked stiffly at her as he dragged her out of protective walls of the Staff of light chambers.He pushed her forward as he stood in front of the heavenly emperor, and Ariella gasped, feeling blood rush through her head. She had a few cuts on her arms."How dare you trangress against the heavens?" The heavenly emperor demanded, with a hardened look on his face. Ariella said nothing to him, as she lowered her head, not bold enough to look him in the eyes."Speak, you nitwit," Marianna, the goddess of season, fired at Ariella.Ariella look
Gwen opened her eyes to the rays of the sun. She exhaled as she got up from the bed. She ran her fingers in her hair as she reflected on the dream she had last night.I'm totally losing it, moon goddess. What are the meaning of these dreams? Why can't I remember the faces of these people as soon as I wake up? She pondered as she rubbed her arms together feeling the cold of the winter rush through the window."You keep sleeping in late these days," Cora said from the door, interrupting Gwen's thoughts. Gwen turned to look in her direction with a blank look on her face as she shrugged. "Are you perhaps, pregnant?" Cora asked with a curious look on her face with an hint of sneer in her eyes."Your face I keep saying after a terrible nightmare," Gwen replied her, and Cora
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
