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
MORGANA’S POVIt was really easy getting to the spirit realm. All I had to do was focus very keenly on the last time I had an encounter with Chloe’s mom and boom, I opened my eyes and I was in a new world. Chloe’s mother’s world is a bit different from my mother’s spirit world. I think I remember that she is not in union with the other ancestors due to her decision to marry a human and refuse to flee to the forbidden forests like other witches did. She was cast away into her own lonely abyss, just like my mom was. I’ve always thought it was funny, how your own people are the same ones to cast you into eternal damnation and loneliness. Well, I suppose there are worst things than being in a spirit realm all by yourself. But the boredom would kill me. How does she constantly experience the same things at the same time every single moment without losing her mind. Now that I think of it, I have never really asked myself what people do in the spirit realm. I know there is no concept of t
MORGANA’S POVI came back to the human world with a loud scream. I have no idea how long I was in there because after I finished talking to Chloe’s mom, it took me a while to get back to the mortal realm. I was still in shock by what she told me and I was a little bit disappointed so I could not focus on bringing myself back.“It’s okay love. It’s okay.” Damon immediately rushes over to me with Colton and Ryder. He wraps his arms around me and tries to calm me down as I shake uncontrollably, tears falling from my eyes. I hadn’t even realized that I was crying until now. The emotions I felt in the spirit realm seem to have been heightened and now I feel everything. Everything that Chloe’s mom told me and I know that I have to accept it. I have to make a decision. “There’s no spell.” I say as the tears start falling. “What do you mean?” Ryder asks. “What did the witch tell you Morgana?” Colton asks walking closer to me. “Guys, give her some time to breathe. She’s in shock.” Damon s
MORGANA’S POVIt was hard getting over my little emotional phase and getting my mind back on track but once I did, I prepared everything I would need for the teleportation spell. I practiced using my magic so I would know exactly what spells to use and when to use them.I also practiced how to better use and control my fire powers so I would know not to hurt those around me.Damon and his brothers advised that we stay back a few more days so that I could better perfect my skills but I really don’t want to waste anymore time. We’ve been here for days already and my visit to the spirt realm slowed us down a lot.“Okay. I think everything is set.” I exhale heavily as the boys and I arrange the finishing touches for the teleportation spell. Now all we have to do is stand in the circle as I recite the spell.They all walk into the middle of the circle, looking as determined as ever, Damon takes slow strides towards me and places his hands on my waist pulling me impossibly close to him.“Yo
MORGANA’S POV“Colton, can you stop bumping into me?? You’re gonna make us fall in the slimy water!” Ryder groans as he tries to push Colton away from his side. “But it’s disgusting.” Colton whines. “Yeah I think we’ve established that, brother. Now can you shut up about it and give me some personal space?” Ryder says. Damon and I walk behind them, observing them s we shake our heads in amusement as we stare at the two boys. “How much further is it?” I ask Damon grabbing his attention. I think he’s worrying too much about me and I wish there was something I could do to lighten up his mood. “We’ll be there by nightfall.” He says simply. “The tunnels leads to many different parts of the castle, but I want us to go to a specific part of the castle. One that I’m pretty sure no one will be in when we get there.” He explains. “Oh..” I say simply. I look over to Damon. I know he can feel me staring at him. He tenses his jaw like he’s biting down on his teeth and keeping himself from say
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
