ALANA’S POVI was nervous before but now that Morgana has left Ryder and I alone in her room, I’m even more nervous. The man standing in front of me has got to be one of the most handsome people I have ever met. He has light brown eyes and dirty blonde hair that he has tried to make look presentable but I’ve seen him with disheveled hair before and I think his hair looks better when it’s messy. My heart beats frantically in my chest as I look up at him. He’s so pretty and he looks shy which by the way I think is so cute.“So, what do you say? Does dinner sound nice?” He asks scanning my face with his eyes and I swallow as I nod my head nervously. His eyes widen and he shoots me a smile. I think to myself, this is the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. “Sure. Dinner sounds nice.” I say. “So um, do you want to like dress up or..? I’m not saying you don’t look good already. You look beautiful.” He called me beautiful.“I just thought you might want to change. I’m not saying there’s so
MORGANA’S POV“So Ryder and Alana huh?” Damon asks as I make myself comfortable in his sheets. He pulls me close to him the way he always does.“I think they look good together.” I say in a sleepy voice wrapping my arms around his abdomen. “You should have seen his face. He was all dressed up. He even fixed his hair.” I say with a giggle. “He never fixes his hair.”“What do you think about the two of them?” I suddenly ask Damon. I know he doesn’t show it but he’s very conscious about his brothers’ wellbeing. He would do anything for them. “I think he deserves to be happy and think about himself for once. He has never had any time to himself you know.” Damon says and I raise myself from his body, looking down at him. “What do you mean?” I ask him. “He was always bothered with making sure Colton and I don’t kill each other. Even while we were kids. Colton and I would get in trouble and fight with each other and Ryder would be there trying to make peace reign. Sometimes he even took t
MORGANA’S POVAlana, Damon, Ryder, Colton, Robert and I are all in the meeting room with a huge map in front of us. Alana and I have been practicing for three days now and she thinks it’s time for us to do the spell. We already went through everything we would need and the room is all set for us to start reciting the spell.We wanted to do this in my room in private but the boys insisted on watching us to do it. They said they’ve never seen a magic spell being performed before and I think they’re big babies. “So do we need to protect ourselves with armor or..” Colton starts saying and Alana and I sigh rolling our eyes at him.“You’re the one who wanted to be here.” Alana says folding her arms across her chest. “Yeah but that doesn’t mean I want to turn into a frog.” Colton protests and I groan loudly. “We’re doing a locator spell Colt. How would you turn into a frog?” I ask him rolling my eyes. “He’s just stupid-“ Damon starts saying and Colton playfully pushes him. “I’m just say
CHLOE’S POVI found a way to get more power. I didn’t think it was possible to get the power I sought, but I needed more. After Morgana took half of my mother’s powers, I was frustrated. I wanted something, anything to make myself stronger. I was supposed to teleport myself back to the castle and get Damon’s blood and also try to save Alana and Esther, but I couldn’t perform the spell. The supreme witch said I had exhausted my strength and used my powers so much already and I had to rest. I don’t get it. My mother’s powers were supposed to make me stronger and increase my magic. I did feel strong. I managed to pull of a teleportation spell. It’s my mind that has gotten weak because I feel so mentally drained that I can’t properly focus on a spell. So I started asking her questions about how to get more power, but she wouldn’t tell me anything even the ancestors refused to tell me anything. They told me to rest and get some sleep so I could try and regain my strength. But sleep is no
MORGANA’S POVEverything’s ready. We have a plan. I cause a distraction while Damon, Ryder and Alana take out as many vampires as they can. We have a plan to get them out but the escape plan will be more complicated. We left with two big carriages that we think will be able to fit all the humans. The best and fastest horses we have and the best riders in the werewolf nation. getting the humans out of their hideout will be easy, but leaving with them and getting all of us back home safely will be the real problem. “I really wish I could come.” Colton says as he hands me a dagger. It’s beautiful with a werewolf imprinted on the sides of the blade. “You’ll be more useful here. We need you to make the defenses strong for us.” I tell Colton and offer him a smile to tell him everything is going to be okay. He’s agitated and knowing Colton, he doesn’t like to sit, fold his arms and let danger come to him. He likes to face the danger head on. Search for it and do everything he can to dest
COLTON’S POVThe castle is basically a fortress now. Even a rhino won’t be able to force its way in. The gates have been fortified with all the wood and soldiers and stones we have in the castle. It’ll be pretty hard for anyone to come in. That way, we can keep the castle safe and fight the war outside instead of inside. We prepared the civilians for an evacuation already so if the vampires decide to attack, then we would get them to safety before the war starts. We have werewolves stationed at the borders of the nation to keep a watch out for any intruders. After all this time, after years and years of countless death and suffering, this war is finally coming to an end. This will be a new age, a new opportunity to make things right. A new start for all of us. Once those blood suckers are dead, everything will eventually work out for all of us. I’m so tired. We’re all so tired. All the soldiers have a determined look on their faces. We all want this war to end. “Everything’s read
MORGANA’S POVI wonder how people feel moments just before they die. Do they feel joy? Or is it regret? Do they feel happy about the way they lived their lives or do they wish they had more time? I still remember the first dead person I ever saw. It wasn’t my parents though. It was a little girl called Lani. She was a cute five-year-old girl that lived next to my parents and I while we were still slaves in the vampire nation. She would come over to our house when my mom had enough flour on rare occasions to make us cookies. She had short brown curls and beautiful bronze skin. She was capable of putting a smile on anyone’s face. I wonder if Lani knew she was going to die that day. I wonder what she felt as water creeped up her lungs and stopped her breathing. You see, Lani had wondered too close to a well and she fell in, with no one around to supervise her that day. I remember the way her brown curls used to dance in the wind when she would jump around. Even though we were all unde
MORGANA’S POVThanks to Warren’s influence, Killian didn’t send vampires out for a hunt to find Damon. That would have been a problem because although it’s pretty obvious to Warren that I didn’t come alone, Damon and Ryder can’t be found out now. It will ruin the course of our plan. It doesn’t matter if he knows that Damon is here. All that matters is that he doesn’t know precisely where Damon is and that element of surprise is all we have now. “Surely you don’t think me that stupid, do you Morgana?” Warren says as he puts his hand gently around my waist and leads me further into their hideout. To where all the vampires are partying.I want to puke. That’s the first thing that comes to my mind as I take in the sight in front of me. “Savages, aren’t they?” Warren says leaning down to whisper into my ears and a shiver creeps up my spine and envelops me into a world of fear and disgust and dread. Blood is all I see. The pungent smell of dead bodies attack my nostrils and tear falls d
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
