LIAM'S POV

I opened my eyes slowly, it was so bright and I could not open it too well. I turned to my side, and a little pain pierced me in the stomach. I was instantly alarmed and I struggled to sit up.

Immediately I began to try it, and I felt a hand hold my back. The person helped me sit up and I looked to see who it was. The kid smiled at me and I recognized him instantly. He was the boy who put me in this situation.

“Why are you here?” I almost yelled in surprise but the ache In my stomach stopped me.

“I'm sorry about that. I came to be sure you are okay?” He said with concern in his voice.

“Well am fine, you can see that so please go,” I said, upset. He was a reminder of my intense failure. Father told me I would fail and I did. It was such a piss-off.

He stood up to go but turned to me again.

“Why did you not dodge the attack? At least you should have used your hand. What were you doing when I came to you?” He asked with wonder in his voice.

Anyways, you have to go in pairs and I don't want to put you together with someone I am not sure about. I don't want to do that to him either.”“But I am okay on my own,” I protested, fearing for my life to be left alone with that overly strong monster.“I know but hunting rules state that you must have a partner and frankly, you have not been in the company of anyone since you came here except of course, Kaife.” Father debunked my argument immediately. “I… I…” my words began to stutter, unable to picture the right words for this situation.“I guess I have to ask for Lucas since I cannot go alone“I will go with Lucas,” I muttered. He started laughing at me, probably wondering why I was willing to tag along with Lucas just to get away from Kaife. “Lucas is with the nobles, he is asked to c

The gender switch was driving me mad.“Help me,” she managed to say.”I know, I know but I don't know how. You… I don't know how to treat a girl. Help me out here.”She started laughing and I was surprised by that. Upset too. “How can she be laughing in a situation like this?”“You should see your face now. You look like an idiot,” she said amidst groans. “It's funny you moron. You are… your own is that you are just so weird. How do I fix you?!” I yelled, still looking away.“Her chest is bare for the love of the goddess. Is she not even embarrassed?“I am, but somehow you are making my situation so funny.” “What the… how? Can you hear my thoughts? Since when?” I was astonished. I share mind links with Lucas alone. I didn't even have a father and mother, unlike Lucas.“Yes, I just heard it now though.” She coughed a little.“Forget that. You are dying!” I blurt

He looked at me and instantly, I could tell that he did. “Here is how you infiltrate the palace.” He began and both me and Malcolm gave him rapt attention.“There is a food channel that goes into the palace. It is a hidden food channel because the king is Afraid of his enemies getting to him through there. Even me too, don't know how to get in there but I know where the laborers are picked up along with their luggage.”“Ok,” Malcolm urges him to continue.“The wolves who pick them up are skilled in two things - detecting malicious intent and magic of any kind.” He saved me a side glance.I smiled simply. That won't be a problem, I know how to handle that. Which Slyvia had taught Me.………. After I fully joined Malcolm, he took me out across the border Into a conqu

    NATHANIEL'S POVIt wasn't long after I woke up, when everyone had gotten up too after the spell had worn off. Guess it's part of the process involved in getting the food to the palace. We checked the goods packed and began to arrange the goods carefully. The boat sailed for almost an hour and then it anchored. We carried all the goods across the border. Some giants stood in the middle of the pathway, the hefty ones threw us on their backs and went into the tree one by one. Immediately, they took me and crossed, the little effect the magic had on me wore off finally and I fully realized, we were in a cave, a deep and dark cave.I saw others being carried in the same manner too, they looked more worn out from the effect of the spell than I was but they seemed quite used to it. I kept silent, staying with them as we wheeled our cargo further into the dimly lit cave to meet those purchasing the merchandise. When we were at the half part of the cave they came into view, and I recogn

It's when they know I just came back from a journey, they would surface. They should not be coming for meetings at times like this you know. It's not exactly the fanciest thing.” He grumbled and I laughed. He always whined about the morning court processions anytime he just came back from a journey.He was sitting on the bed and I was standing in front of him. I bent over and he let me kiss him. He smiled when my lips left his.“You will regret that. After I deal with those old men, I will come back for you.” I turned and walked away, making sure he could see the way my hips moved. I went to the window and leaned on it, staring back at him with my big black eyes. He glared at me.“Don't tempt me, woman. I can damn everything and come af

There was no way I could hold back my disdain and disgust for that bastard. So he couldn't continue the love affair he had with my friend, but he told me they were a match made in heaven.On our wedding day he left me for her, so in the end now, he didn’t marry her, he married an Omega just like me.My lips cracked and I began to laugh. It was too funny. The end of the asshole was just too amusing not to laugh.My eyes reverted to the boy who stared at me in bewilderment.“You still know where you live right?”He nodded in affirmation.“Good, because I wish to see your father and mother.”He knelt immediately.“My Luna, you need not, we are too small and humble for someone as great and elegant as you to grace us with your presence.”I smiled, of co

Do you think I should go and see him?”“Most certainly my Luna but not so you can mock him, but so you can see for yourself what has become of him and If possible, forgive him.”I glared at her. The suggestion hit me badly and my temper rose all of a sudden.“Forgive who? You are mad, right? After what I told you he did to me. He deserves to die instead.”“My Luna, you don’t need to hold a grudge. You need a clear heart, he is not worth being a burden to your heart” I looked away, she made sense but I didn't want to listen to anyone tell me anything about forgiving that bastard. Because of him eighteen year old ended up drunk in a hotel room with a stranger, and woke up defiled and marked. Because of him, I raised two boys by myself in abject poverty for eight years.

Liam took it.“What is happening? It's been a long time since the family was completely like this. It's been a while since I saw Liam.”He breathed. "We are going to try something. We hope and pray it works.”“What?” "Just watch and see. Be calm.”I stepped aside, Liam let go of his hand and we moved away from him. Lucas closed his eyes and held his father's hand.His essence began to glow in his heart and split in half. We watched with groped hearts and pensive spirits as Lucas shared his essence with Lucien. Immediately it was complete, Lucas slumped on the ground, his skin paled out a little, and his hair turned grey.I ran to him, touching him to see if he was still warm. He was and I breathed in great relief.Liam touched me.“Attend to father. I can handle him.” I nodded and stood u

But I was carried away for a moment and I almost failed.”"Oh, I see. It's very understandable. He played with our minds to know the secrets we harbor that will lead us to evil if given the chance” “I thought so too.

Guess you deserve all that has happened to you and your people then ”My tears wet my clothes and My head ached because of anger. Amid my yelling, I heard a chuckle of an old voice.“So you came? I am impressed, Luna. I have never seen someone as desperate as you are. You must love this husband of yours so much."I looked toward the voice, and Dion looked too. An old Woman emerged from the burnt forest. “I am the One who sent you the letter. Honestly, I simply replicated the letter indeed to those I told that I had the cure to the problem. No one had ever honored my invite before and then the city was still in full bloom. I certainly did not expect that t

He cuddled the little pup and he giggled loudly.“At this rate, we will all be heard," someone spoke behind me, it was Liam, dressed in the robe of his father.Lucas stuck his tongue out at him, “Stop whining about your brother mini-Alpha Liam.”Liam glared at him. And Lucas laughed his ass off as usual." Asshole come along you know we have a patrol this evening and I cannot do it alone.” Liam beckoned on his brother. Lucas excused himself to keep the child inside.Liam looked at me. Who was silently watching them?“Are you going out again?" He asked his voice sober."Yes apparently... I have news that a man in one of the kingdoms in the east has some information that might help me.”He heaved. “Another assumption.”I gave him an accusing look."Mother please get me right, am trying to say I want my father to be healed too, it's just that… it's been roughly a year and a half since he got t

And still did not know despite all the stress I went through. So many thoughts were going through my head at the same time. Lucien's came to my rescue.“Stop thinking. You just woke up, nothing is going to make sense for now but by tomorrow morning, you will be more fine. Okay? “I breathed, my nerves still not calm maybe it was because I was very confused or maybe it was because I was sitting in between Lucien's legs and he was staring at me with his cold ecstatic eyes filled with passion.“I missed you so much.” He muttered and my heart fluttered. He kissed me, going deeper. I missed him more and I got carried away, pressing him on the bed for

The movie was boring as hell."Lucas chuckled nervously. This plan was a waste. What else can he do now?“Whose hungry?

Lucas was now the one asking her to go with him.‘Well, it's good, it's not a big deal.’ I tried convincing myself, although I had mixed feelings about the whole thing. As much as I tried to distract myself with the trainers and the games that they were preparing for, I could not help but keep thinking about the idea of Lucas and Kalife going to the cinema together, so I wasn't paying attention to what they were saying again.I remember Kalife turned down Lucas’ request because he told her I wouldn't need to be there.Before they left I took a side glance at them. My eyes spotted their hands interlocking and Lucas pulling her away.I looked sharply at them but they were already running out of the training ground before I could do anything.'Liam calm down.
