MORGANA’S POVFocus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus.That’s all I’ve been trying to tell myself since Chloe and Warren left my cage. I have never meditated before so I don’t know exactly what I’m supposed to do to try and get myself to the spirit realm but all I know is I have to keep trying. For the millionth time I put myself in a sitting position and cross my legs over each other as I try to focus my mind on the pantheon. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. With each breath in, I feel the tension in my body start to release. With each breath out, I feel myself sinking deeper into a state of relaxation. I continue to breathe in this manner, letting all the thoughts in my head fall away, until all that’s left is a sense of calm. In order for me to access the spirit realm successfully, I need to let go of the material world.Which includes my negative emotions and I also need to let go of Dam
MORGANA’S POVThe first person I look for of course is Damon. I need to find out where Chloe and Warren are hiding Damon, Colton and Ryder before it’s time for Damon to be executed. The fact that Chloe and Warren haven’t come to see me yet only means it’s not yet time for execution. There are some guards guarding the doors to the dungeons. I can take them. I walk slowly making sure not to let out any sounds as I climb up the stairs leading to the dungeon doors.Chloe should have been more prudent with locking me up. She trusted her magic so much that she didn’t leave extra guards guarding me inside of the dungeon. Did she really think a couple of werewolf guards would be able to hold me back? Did she really believe that I wouldn’t get my powers back? She should know me better than that. She should know how resilient I am and that I never give up on anything. She must really trust that god of hers if she left me so unguarded. I reach the doors and pull it open coming face to face wi
MORGANA’S POV“This time, I will inject my venom so deep in you, you won’t even be able to tell left from right.” Chloe screams and launches towards me.As soon as she does Warren speeds in front of me and stands in Chloe’ way stopping her from doing whatever it is she was just about to do to me. I don’t know what happened just a second ago but I froze. All my senses seemed to have gone on freeze mode and I couldn’t move my body. I can’t keep letting fear get in the way. “Get out of the way Warren..” Chloe warns as Warren stands in front of me, supposedly blocking me out of harm’s way. I don’t understand him. It’s like he’s bipolar or something. One minute he’s siding with Chloe and sleeping with her and the next minute he’s protecting me. I don’t have time for this. This isn’t how things were supposed to go. I have no idea how Chloe managed to remove my invisibility spell but this just means she has the advantage and she’s stronger than me. I have to act smart. I can’t count on my
MORGANA’S POVThe four of us land with a thud on a field of grass. I have no idea where I took us to but the air here is so fresh, so pristine. The sky here is as blue as the blue in my eyes and there are flowers. More flowers than I have ever seen before. this might be the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I look over to Damon, Colton and Ryder and when I try to rush over to them, they flinch and scoot backwards away from me. What the hell did Chloe do to them? “Hey..” As confused as I am because I don’t know where the fuck my magic just took us to, I try to make my voice as calm as possible and quiet all the voices in my head. They’re already freaked out so much as it is. If I start freaking out too, it wont help anyone. I’m so tired. So beaten up. So hungry and I can’t remember the last time I showered. I must stink so much now that I think about it. My skin has grown rough and I have a headache that doesn’t want to go away. I don’t know how I’m still sane because honestly
MORGANA’S POV“That bitch!” Colton speaks out loud with anger I’m sire he’s been holding in this entire time. I can only imagine how hard it must have been for Colton to be under Chloe’s hold for so long. “I’m gonna kill her Morgana.”We all roll our eyes at him because we know how remorseful Colton feels towards Chloe. He blames himself for who Chloe has become now which is why we all know that no matter how upset he is, he’ll never be able to look Chloe in the eye and kill her. Out of all of us, Colton is the one who does not take orders from just anyone. It must have been so hard for him having his mind invaded by Chloe for days on end. After I got Damon back to his senses, it took us a lot of time to get to Ryder and Colton. Ryder, of course took less time coming ack to his senses than Colton did. I was so happy when I looked into their eyes and saw some recognition again. I saw the boys that I had grown to love. They came back to me and it made me the happiest person on earth.
MORGANA’S POV“Nobody make a single sound. Don’t even breathe.” Colton says as we all try to hide out of sight from the deer we just saw. It took a while of us walking around, and we initially decided to catch fish from a nearby lake we saw but then we saw a deer and Colton insisted he wanted to eat deer instead. Typical. “Stop breathing Damon. You’re gonna scare it away.” Colton scolds with a loud whisper. “You’re the one who’s going to scare if away if you keep talking. Just kill it.” Damon scolds. “You’re a werewolf. You have superspeed so run over to it and break its neck.” Damon advices. “That’s barbaric.” Ryder says with a low gasp. “How else do you want him to catch the deer Ryder? We have no weapons.” Damon adds. “How about you use your werewolf speed to catch the deer, since you know so much about hunting. It isn’t an easy task. Deer are extremely sensitive.” Colton lectures and we all roll our eyes at his display of intellect. “I’m not the one who was whining about wan
MORGANA’S POV“What’s wrong?” Damon asks. Colton and Ryder went to bed already. I don’t even think they notice that they’re sleeping so close to each other. If Colton realizes that he and Ryder are cuddling in a cave, he’ll probably grumble to himself for a month straight. “Nothing. I just..” I falter. Lately words have been difficult for me to find. I look up to the sky and see the stars. “I don’t think I’ve seen so many stars in the sky like this before.” I say to Damon as I exhale shakily. He walks closer to me, standing to my left, both of us separated mere inches from each other. He raises his head slightly and watches the stars with me. His fingers graze mine gently and I suck in a sharp breath and the contact. Soon we intertwine our fingers and stare at the sky in complete silence. In this moment, all is right in the world. We have each other and Ryder and Colton are safe. That’s all that matters. “Wanna tell me what’s bothering you?” Damon breaks the silence. “Chloe and W
MORGANA’S POV“We need to come up with an attack plan. A way that will keep everyone safe so that they don’t get caught up in our fight with Warren and Chloe. We all know how destructive those two are. We need to make sure there are minimal casualties.”We sit in a circle, as Damon explains, using a stick to draw a war plan on the sand. “There are tunnels no one knows about. We can use them to get into the castle unscathed and unseen.” Damon says. “And when we get seen? Because it will happen eventually. What do e do then?” Ryder asks. Damon furrows his brows in contemplation. “The other humans and werewolves are still under Chloe’s spell, so we need to find a way to break that spell before going back to the castle. Otherwise, we would be fighting against our own people and someone might get hurt.” Colton says. “Morgana was able to free us because we are somehow emotionally tied to her, but it won’t be the same for the others. And they are so many. How do we break a spell that pow
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
