CHAPTER 87~3RD PERSON'S POV~“Alright men, this is going to be our last battle; we have to make sure we win this one so that Alpha Steven will still have the upper hand against Alpha Derren,” Gregory yelled to his warrior wolves and the warrior wolves of the Grey-dweller pack, standing on a platform in the front yard of the Alpha's mansion.“Why isn't Alpha Steven here with us? His presence would make this battle so much quicker," one of the warrior wolves from the Grey-dweller pack said.“Be quiet! You do not say his name unless you are given permission to,” Gregory's assistant yelled from beside Gregory. He was one who had so much respect for Gregory and Alpha Steven and spat at even the slightest disrespect to them. He joined the troops on the night the alpha of the Grey Wolf pack betrayed Gregory.“It's okay, Simon,” Gregory said, then turned to the Grey-dweller, who spoke.“Alpha Steven sent us to help your pack and many others under him because he knew we could handle it. He ha
CHAPTER 88~3RD PERSONS POV~~ABYSS~The sound of roars and moans from the demons that roamed the fiery depths of hell echoed loudly, slowly vanished into complete silence, and then repeated the process again.The crying of beings and people who had been banished here, receiving unworldly punishments for crimes they had committed in their previous lives, followed after, giving the abyss its ominous and grimly ambiance.Above this large volcanic setting, multiple, large stalactites hung from the ceiling, and between two of these stalactites was a black, smoky figure hanging by bright white chains that were tied to the mineral structures.“You know this is unfair. For thousands of years, you've ruled over this world as you please. When is it going to be my turn? When will I get the chance to be free from the prison you've created?” The dark figure spoke with a feminine voice.“The only thing you know is destruction. If I am to let you loose on the world, people will suffer, and innocent
CHAPTER 89~3RD PERSON'S POV~It was a beautiful morning in the city of Mystic Meadow. Birds chirped in the trees that surrounded the meeting hall of the council members, and the flowers in the gardens bloomed beautifully under the morning sun.Lady Anaya casually walked into the meeting hall with a blank expression on her face and proceeded to her podium, which had been replaced by a new one after the last meeting.All the council members got up from their seats and bowed to her. Lady Anya bowed slightly and sat on her seat, and the rest of the members sat on theirs.“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I hope your nights were good and you're fully prepared for the tasks that will be given to you all today,” Lady Anaya said calmly.“Good morning, Anaya. We are fully prepared, but we have no idea what this meeting is for; we already had tasks we were carrying out." A male council member spoke; he looked to be in his forties and had completely white hair."Oh, please, after everything
CHAPTER 90~GABRIELLA'S POV~A large wooden door suddenly appeared a short distance from where Cortana stood in the mansion. The door creaked open slowly, and cold wind from the snowy lands we were on blew into the mansion, spreading snowflakes all around.I and the three sisters quickly rushed into the mansion after checking if it was indeed Alpha Stevens Mansion. We shut the door again, and it vanished completely.I looked around the hall until my eyes fell on Cortana. She still stood like a brick wall at her usual spot. I rushed toward her and hugged her tightly, knowing she wouldn't react to it.“I missed you so much, Cortana,” I said in excitement.“Wow, this is where you guys live?” Angela asked as she admired the interior decorations of the mansion.“Yeah, we're servants here. But don't get it wrong, the alpha became such a generous person ever since he started interacting with Gabriella, and now he treats all his servants so well, or maybe just the ones that are close to Gabri
CHAPTER 91~GABRIELLA'S POV~“What was my second personality like?” Alpha Steven asked. We both walked through the small forest that extended from within the mansion's premises and into the outside world. Dried leaves crumpled and rustled under our feet, and birds of different species chirped and sang in the trees.The question he asked made my heart jump. “If I were to tell him about his second personality now, I might end up telling him that I felt a mate bond with him, and thats not going to be good,” I thought to myself with worry on my face.“Well, your second personality was an adventurous one. He loved to go to different places and to make new friends. He was very cheerful and funny,” I said, trying to be as vague as possible.“Are you trying to say I'm not cheerful and funny?” Steven asked.“My lord, you hardly ever smile, and when you do, it's a lot more intimidating than cheerful. Not that I don't like your smile; it's just that you're... not very good at being happy,” I rep
CHAPTER 92~GABRIELLA'S POV~I and the other girls sat in the room, laughing and talking about everything that took place on our journey to save Angela. We told her about the abilities of the heralds and how I was the only one who could touch the gemstone.“I still can't believe Valerie tried to stab you,” Christine said, giggling after.“Me too; Valerie is the Herald who sees good in everything. She's got a positive and cheerful attitude. Seeing her eyes as she swung that dagger repeatedly, I thought I was going to die for sure,” I replied.“Wow, I would've loved to see that side of you, Valerie. Not in a million years would the thought of you holding a dagger or attacking someone ever cross my mind. Maybe you're not as soft as I thought you were,” Angela said. She sat beside me, and Valerie sat beside Marie.“Oh, common. I'm not like that; the situation just got to my head, and I lost my mind. I could even hear voices coming from the lava pit, telling me to save my sister and kill G
CHAPTER 93~3RD PERSON'S POV~Clarabelle rushed toward Gabriella, holding the dagger tightly in her left hand. She thrust the dagger at her face with as much force as she could muster, but Gabriella moved to the side as quickly as she could, avoiding the attack, which was inches from her forehead.She started to breathe heavily as she staggered back. It was at this point that she realized Clarabelle wasn't joking around.Clarabelle's eyes looked crazed, and she was ready to take Gabriella's life in exchange for what she had been promised.“Clarabelle, you have to stop this. I know you're still in there. Don't let your past push you into doing something you might regret forever,” Gabriella yelled as she continued to avoid Clarabelle's attacks.“Be quiet! You know nothing about me or my past. I would do anything to bring my family back, including killing you,” Clarabelle yelled back.“I know that's not you speaking; this thing that has taken over your mind is making you feel that way, b
CHAPTER 94~3RD PERSON'S POV~“Well, that escalated really quickly,” Angela said softly. All four girls sat quietly in the room, thinking about what had happened to Gabriella and Clarabelle.“Where do you think Clarabelle went?” Valerie asked, turning to Marie.“I'm… not sure. Clarabelle was very secretive about her past. Each time we tried to talk to her about her background, she would always find a way to change the topic. After a while, we stopped trying to find out. So, we don't know where she came from or who her parents are. All we know is that she was our friend,” Marie replied. The sad expression on her face could not be seen as she still had her blindfold on, but it was very evident in her voice that she was really hurt.Christine rested her head quietly on Marie's thighs as tears rolled out of her eyes. Her heart was still in shock, and she couldn't speak or do anything else but cry.“Christine, it's okay. I'm sure Clarabelle is fine wherever she is. You need to stop crying
