MORGANA’S POVIt’s calm. Too calm. And it’s making me anxious because I don’t know what our enemies are doing. I wish I had some sort of view on them. I wish I knew what they were planning so we would be ready before they strike. I haven’t spoken to Alana and Esther since they got here and I think they’re scared or shy or something because they’ve been holed up in Damon’s room since they got here.“I’m going to talk to the young witches who got here. I need help with the powers I got from Chloe's mom. I need to learn how to properly harness and use it.” I say to Damon as I lay in bed on his chest. He glides his fingers through my hair and makes a sound. I squirm out of his hold and place my chin on his chest, looking up at him. “Open your eyes sleepy head.” I say and he smirks, still with his eyes closed. He flutters his eyes open and grins at me so wide that I can’t help but blush. “What was that about witches?” He asks. “I said I want to talk to Alana and Esther about the powers
MORGANA’S POVThe preparations for the party are all done and now. All that is left is for everyone to get dressed and go to the throne room for the party. The throne room is bigger than I thought and I didn’t think everyone would fit but I can already hear people murmuring and the sound of music right from my room. Damon is in his room getting ready and he’s supposed to come and get me from my room when he’s done. I’m sure Colton and Ryder are at the party already. Alana and Esther didn’t want to go but Colton said he would personally drag them to the throne room so no one feels left out. I really love the new Colton. It seems like such a long time ago when we were at each other’s neck and were bent on killing each other. Today, he’s one of the sweetest people I know. I tied my hair up in a high bun, accentuating my facial features perfectly. I haven’t always been one to pay too much attention to my face but today, I can’t help but stare at myself in the mirror. My bright red hair,
DAMON’S POV“Fuck.” I mutter under my breath as I watch Warren knock out Morgana. Something in me awakens and my wolf screams in anger at the sight of him taking Morgana away. I wasn’t able to protect her before but I’ll be damned if I let anything happen to her now. I will not let that monster take her away. Not on my watch. Warren lifts Morgana up, placing her over his shoulders and starts speeding away. I don’t hesitate to run after him. “Brother!” Colton and Ryder scream as they run after me, but I can’t hear or see anything. I can’t even think. There’s so much happening at the same time. We weren’t ready and it’s all my fault. Some of the vampires are escaping with the vampire lord and some humans and now Morgana is being taken too. It all happened so fast. I went to the throne room to make sure everything was set before going up to take Morgana and then I heard banging and they suddenly barged in and they had a purpose. They started attacking the humans first and doing anythi
DAMON’S POVI was able to calm everyone down yesterday. It took a lot to stay completely calm given the fact that Morgana was lying in bed unresponsive the whole time. It took a lot for me to convince the humans that we would get their people back. Fifty humans, all captured and I couldn’t do anything.I feel incompetent. I have never felt so weak before. All my life, I have thought myself invincible. I thought I was the strongest. It was only yesterday that the vampires were in hiding from us, scared to come out and now, now they’re being led by somebody more powerful than me. I wanted to go after them yesterday. I really wanted to and it took everything in me to not rally up my men and follow them into those woods. But I think that’s what they want. They want to lure us out and we can’t just follow them blindly because they might have so many traps set for us on the way. One wrong move and we might be ambushed. For now, although it isn’t very practical, staying in the castle is th
MORGANA’S POV”You almost died.” My mother said hugging me as soon as I get back to her in the spirit realm. As soon as I went unconscious, I was dragged in here, into the spirit realm my mother was banished into. “I don’t know what is happening to me mother.” I say as my cheeks get stained with tears. “I thought I was strong enough. I felt this great power that I had never felt before and yet it was amazing, but when I tried to use it, it hurt me instead. I felt like I was burning up. What is happening to me?” I ask my mother as I fall into her arms in an embrace. “Quick honey. You don’t have much time with me here I suppose. Let’s talk about this quickly so you can go back to your friends.” My mother says as she pulls away from me.“Tell me what you felt.” She says and I nod quickly, trying to regain my composure. I wipe away the tears that escaped my eyes and look up at her smiling sweetly at me. She’s always so calm. Like still water. No ripples or movements. She’s always in a s
MORGANA’S POV“Careful Damon. Colton is going to steal your girlfriend.” Ryder says and Colton fist bumps his shoulder playfully. “Nah, I don’t think so. Morgana doesn’t like knuckle heads.” Damon says wrapping his arms around my waist. Colton frowns and fixes his gaze on me. “You don’t think I’m a knuckle head, right Ana?” Colton says almost sounding like a little girl with a cute pout. “Of course not Colt.” I say and he smirks triumphantly, sticking his tongue out to Damon and Ryder. Damon looks at me like I just betrayed him making me giggle playfully. Damon and Ryder found Colton and I spread out in bed this morning and Ryder hasn’t stopped teasing Damon and Colton since then. Colton and I basically spoke all night and I can’t even remember when exactly we went to bed but we learned a lot of stuff about each other and I learned that Colton did not have an easy childhood.According to him, he was always seen as the bad seed, the middle child that no one seemed to worry too much
**Hi guys!! Author here! I think this is the first time I am writing in Ryder’s POV. Hope you love it!**RYDER’S POV“Why don’t you just talk to her you coward?” Colton says to me as he hops in my bed. Alana and Morgana went to practice their little magic spell and Damon went to train with some of our warriors. Colton and I should be training with the others but he dragged me into my room and made me admit to having a crush on Alana. “You think it’s that easy to talk to women? What if she casts a spell on me and turns me into a frog?” I ask Colton kicking his dirty shoes off my bed and taking a seat next to him. “You’re such a princess. Use your charm brother!” He says sitting up and slapping my back lightly. “Oh wait, I forgot you’re a knuckle head and you have no charm.” He says laughing out loud clutching his stomach like a child and I just roll my eyes at him. He has changed so much since he became best friends with Morgana. She really brings out the best in him. I hardly recog
MORGANA’S POV“So how is this going to work?’ I ask Alana as we make ourselves comfortable in the center of my room. Alana placed thirty candles in a huge circle and everywhere else in the room. She shut the blinds so that the only light illuminating the room is from the candles. It gives the room a sort of creepy aura but Alana said the candles will make us focus more. I’m not sure how or what candles have to do with focus but what do I know? “Well first I have to teach you the basics of witchcraft.” Alana says as we sit legs crossed in the middle of the circle. “Okay.. I’m listening.” I say nodding and staring at her eagerly. I don’t want to waste any time with this. I have only a short period of time to learn what I have to learn because we need to carry out our plan as soon as possible. Every second we waste is an opportunity for a vampire to sink its teeth into one of the captured humans. Every second we waste is maybe when a human draws their last breath. I have to get them
NARRATORThe war was finally over. And though it was hard for everyone, they all found a way to cope. After Damon’s death, Morgana decided she would use her grief to make herself stronger. She hadn’t yet realized the amount of work that had to put in after a war was over. They had to build new houses. Plant crops, tend to the wounded. But Morgana, Colton, Ryder and Robert took it all with their heads raised high. When so many people are counting on you, Morgana realized, the only option you have is to be strong. Morgana thrived. The werewolf nation thrived as Ryder was names the new Alpha. It was normally supposed to be Colton because he was the beta and next in line, but they all agreed Ryder was more suitable for the title. After all Ryder was more intelligent that Colton was when it came to matters as such. Ryder was more compassionate and just generally a better person, Colton concluded. And although, Colton is a better person today, he still needs a lot of work before he can f
DAMON’S POVI knew this would happen. Sooner or later, I knew all my sins would catch up to me. I have hurt too many people. Killed too many people and I deserve this. Evil should not have a place in this world. A world which contains someone as beautiful as Morgana. She was the light to my darkness. She is everything I ever hoped for. Although it was short-lived, I adored every moment spent with her. She came into my life and taught me something powerful, something that changed my entire life’s trajectory. In a cruel, and wicked world, she taught me a better way to live. She taught me how to love. I couldn’t believe it first, when my feelings for her were reciprocated with such a willingness to forgive me. I was almost tempted to take back everything I said to her because I didn’t feel I deserved her. She was too much light for me and I was scared my darkness would poison her. I still have no idea how she was ever able to forgive me for what I did to her. I still cannot believe th
MORGANA’S POVMy mother said there is no way to save Damon. I must have been in the spirit realm for a few hours comparting it to the human world. I feel so useless, so desperate for anything. Anything that can help Damon. I wasn’t sure about Chloe said because it felt so unreal so I even consulted her mother and she assured me that Chloe’s curse on Damon was real.She sent me back and urged me to say my goodbyes to him before it’s too late. I have no idea why everyone is so determined to give up. they just expect me to let Damon die? Without trying every single thing I can to save him? How can they even expect me to do that?I didn’t realize how dark it had gotten. How far I had gone away. And then it hits me. All what happened during the day suddenly hits me like a tsunami. Damon is going to die and I should be with him right now. I should be spending the last moments I have with him but here I am, looking for a cure that doesn’t exist.I just can’t accept this and I don’t know if I
MORGANA’S POVAs soon as Chloe closes her eyes, she vanishes in the same exact way that the deity did. She turns into ash on the ground and vanishes as the wind carries her ashes away and Warren screams into the ground with the most agonizing wail I have ever heard.“You killed her. You fucking killed her!” He screams at me standing up from the ground and pointing his index finger angrily at me.“All she wanted to do was get justice and you killed her Morgana.” Warren falls to his knees. “Why did you kill her?” He sobs and falls to his knees to the ground.I can tell he has no fight in him anymore. He knows everything is over now and he knows he has lost. Putting up a fight will be foolish of him. Besides, I am not in the mood to have small talk with him or fight with him about something we have spoken about a million times. A crowd of werewolves and humans walks towards us from the castle shouting and roaring cheers of victory, already celebrating the freedom that we very much now h
MORGANA’S POVWhen the bright light clears, I see Chloe standing in the distance way outside the castle gates. I stare down at my hands in disbelief, unable to get it through my head that I was able to send her off that far. I guess I’m stronger than I thought. If I can keep her out of castle grounds then I won’t hold back. I’ll be able to use as much of my magic as I want to.“I’m going to go after Chloe.” I scream at the top of my lungs to the boys who are busy fighting off and knocking out the werewolves under Chloe’s control.Damon tries to come with me but I shake my head and he frowns. I want him to be with his brothers right now. They may be strong but the werewolves are numerous and Colton and Ryder will need all the help they get.He runs towards me desperately as if I would evaporate if he didn’t get to me fast enough. He breathes heavily and punches a werewolf in the face that came after him. He grabs my face and plants a strong kiss on my lips. I taste sweat and dirt and l
MORGANA’S POVWhat Damon and I saw when we finally got into his room isn’t at all what we were expecting. My hope was that we would see Chloe sitting on a chair nearby with that evil smile on her face waiting for us and I would send the signal to Colton and Ryder to start making preparations to open the gates.But when we walked in the only person we saw was Warren and I could not believe my eyes. The person standing in front of us right now looks like Warren, but if Warren felt dark before, he feels darker even now.I want to launch for him and rip is head of his neck but I hesitate, because I have no idea what Chloe has done to him. it is very clear from the aura coming off him that Chloe has messed with him even more because he feels so powerful and I can tell Damon has sensed it too because he places himself slightly in front of me.We don’t know what Warren is capable of right now and charging towards him blindly can turn out to be fatal so we need to be smart about this and calc
COLTON’S POV“Hey, do you think they’re going to be okay?” Ryder asks me as we make our way through the tunnels. There’s a path that leads directly towards the castle gates and hopefully, there won’t be a lot of guards guarding it so we can get it open with no problems.We reach an opening and make it onto the castle grounds not too far away from the main gate. I can see guards stationed at random spots eyeing nothing in particular. They all look dead an empty, under Chloe’s abominable spell. “They’ll be fine. Damon and Morgana are both smart and strong. Nothing is going to happen to them.” I say to Ryder, our voices barely above a whisper to avoid drawing attention to ourselves.“Are you saying that to convince me or yourself?” Ryder asks.“What does it matter Ryder? They’ll be fine, I know it.” I say getting irritated by his tone. I can’t even begin to thin or imagine that something might go wrong with Damon and Ana. I need them to come back alive. I don’t know if I’ll survive thi
DAMON’S POVIt’s time for everything to go down just how we planned. We have taken every precaution necessary and yet I still feel like there is something missing. There is a creeping fear climbing up my back that I cannot seem to shake off and it’s driving me insane. Morgana and I are supposed to distract Chloe and try to break her spell on the others while Colton and Ryder find a way to break the gates open and evacuate the humans. There are two options. We either find a way to get Chloe out of the castle so that everyone remains unharmed and take the fight far away. But if that’s not possible then that will leave us with the second option. Fighting right here in the castle and evacuating as many humans as we can. Morgana thinks she can get Chloe out with a teleportation spell but I don’t know if she’s strong enough to manage a spell like that again. She just teleported us back here and I don’t know if it is wise for her to do another teleportation spell in such a short time rang
MORGANA’S POVColton and Ryder are gearing up and wearing some fighting clothes they found here in the secret room in the tunnels. I haven’t had a chance to talk to Damon properly. This entire war has put a strain on our relationship and I miss him so much. I can see how stressed he is. How much he doesn’t want me to see how stressed he is.Damon has never been one to seek help in anything he does. He has a habit of getting things done himself and I really wish sometimes he would open up about somethings. He just tries so hard to be strong for everyone and he doesn’t let anyone see how much he struggles. “Hey.” I say walking up to him as he dresses up, and I can’t help but think that in all the months I have known Damon, I have never seen him in any attire quite like this one. It adds a bit of seriousness to his aura and I know I shouldn’t be thinking about it now but he literally looks the most handsome and sexiest I have ever seen him. The way the muscles of his biceps strain aga
