DAMON’S POV“I want to help you fight.” Morgana states simply and I raise my brows at her curiously. I’m confused right now. I don’t know why she was crying a few seconds ago and that’s all I want to know. Morgana has never hugged me before. I was surprised when she wrapped her hands around my waist and cried into my chest. She felt so small in my arms and in that moment, all I wanted to do was protect her. “Why were you crying Morgana?” I ask her as she walks towards my bed. I love how far we’ve come from the first time we met. She’s more comfortable and she’s more herself.“Warren told me he loves me and I realized that apparently, I have feelings for you. No big deal but that’s not what I want to talk about right now so drop it.” She says as she takes a seat on my bed. I walk towards her not believing her words but before I speak, she raises her hands stopping me from talking. “I’m serious Damon, I don’t want to talk about it.” She states definitively and I nod my head at her. I
DAMON’S POV “It didn’t work.” Warren says, his voice barely above a whisper. “She’s dead.” “Try again. Maybe the dose wasn’t enough.” I say calmly grabbing the serum Warren just made and practically shove it down Morgana’s throat. This can’t be happening. I don’t know if I’ll ever forgive myself if she dies. I had so much planned for her. I was going to make the world better for her. She gave me a reason to be better, to fight. She just can’t die like this. “Morgana, please wake up.” I say breathlessly. Warren stands frozen beside her unresponsive body and Chloe cries uncontrollably. I grab Morgana’s shoulders and shake her aggressively. I want her to wake up, I need her to wake up. “Please, I love you.” I whisper and right on cue, I hear the sound of her heart beating again. There is an energy emanating off her and I glance at her neck and notice that her wound is healing. It heals completely, showing no hint that there was ever a wound there. In a quick second, she jerks her bo
MORGANA’S POVI dreamt of green fields and sunflowers. Everything looked so beautiful. My mother made her delicious potato porridge while my dad broke some firewood. It was a world with no vampires, no werewolves. It was beautiful and I was happy. The dream ended too fast because as soon as I open my eyes, I’m met with the same dark four walls I’m used to. All the memories of what I did slowly come back to me and I scold myself because of how impulsively I acted. I almost killed myself. I think I even died. I remember voices yelling and crying and screaming at me to wake up. I remember Damon’s voice. He sounded so sad, so scared, so defeated. As I move around on his bed, I feel different. It’s like my body is flowing with a new found energy, energy that I just want to release. It’s unlike anything I have ever felt before. I feel powerful, like I can do anything. “Morgana. You’re awake, thank God.” Chloe says dropping the sheets she had in her hands and dashing toward me. Her eyes
MORGANA’S POVAfter Damon carried me away from the battle field, he made sure the rest of the vampire captives were placed safely in their cells. I don’t understand why he won’t just kill the lot of them already.He made sure Reece took Colton safely to his room to be looked after by nurses. After putting everything in place and giving tasks to those concerned, he brought me straight to his meeting room. I’ve been seething with anger all this time because Damon just made this war a whole lot longer.If he had just let me kill the vampire lord, all of this killing would have been over and done with. Half of this war would have been over already.“You made a mistake.” I say to Damon in his meeting room standing directly in front of him.“How about you take a seat.” Reece says to me trying to grab my arm but I push him easily to the floor.“How about I rip your head off.” I threaten him angrily as he picks himself up from the floor and charges toward me.“That’s enough!” Damon’s voice st
MORGANA’S POV “I had him, Chloe. I had him right under my palm. I could have killed him.” I pace around Warren’s room in frustration. Warren hasn’t spoken to me since I got here. I think he’s mad at me and with good reason, I just don’t know what to say to him. There is no excuse for what I did. “You scare me Morgana. You almost died and the next thing you do is throw yourself at the vampire lord? You have to be more precautious.” Chloe scolds and I raise my brows at her folding my arms across my chest. “Are we on the same side or what? We have a goal, to kill the vampires. If I have a chance to do it, tell me exactly why I should hold back.” I defend. “I get it. Trust me, we all get it, but you have to think of yourself too and your safety. We’re in this together remember? You can’t act on your own.” Chloe says and my face morphs into a light frown. She has a good point. We’re supposed to be working together but at that moment, all I could think of was spilling blood. It’s almost
ALANA’S POVIn the forbidden forestsEsther and I have been practicing a lot since we got our vision about the girl with red hair, our savior. For the past days, something has been wrong. The spirits are angry. Esther and I have felt their anger and it is affecting our magic negatively.We still don’t know how we are supposed to help this girl but the spirits wanted to talk to Esther and I today, so we’re in the woods now in the middle of a summoning circle waiting for the witches to communicate with us.“What do you think is getting them so riled up?” Esther asks me with a light frown on her face. Ever since we were paired by the witches to work together, we have become closer and our relationship has grown more than I expected. Esther is a kind soul and her optimism keeps me going sometimes.“I don’t know but I think it has something to do with this mystery girl.” I answer her. We start reciting a spell that would enable us communicate with the ancestors and the temperature around u
In the vampire hideoutKILLIAN’S POV“WHO THE HELL WAS THAT GIRL?” I ask to no one in particular, startling the other vampires. All what I had planned, everything was for nothing. I mean I got back at least a hundred vampires but I wanted the serum! I wanted more humans.We have tried to keep the fifteen humans we originally captured alive but it is getting more and more difficult to find them something to eat. Sooner or later they might die from starvation and I have to find a way to feed my people. I have to find a way to get more blood. But how?This girl I who fought alongside the werewolves, she was strong. What is she? She doesn’t have the smell of a werewolf, she’s not a vampire and she sure as hell isn’t human. I could tell from the way her eyes glowed red but her scent gave off nothing I am familiar with.Did the alpha carry out more unnatural experiments to create a more powerful warrior? It was the first time in a while that I actually felt scared. The way she massacred my
CHLOE’S POVThe alpha gave me a new room as soon as Colton was back in his room. He said I don’t have to serve him anymore and that was kind but I can’t start thinking that the alpha is a nice person. I need to focus on the image I already have of him in my head.When Morgana left Warren’s room yesterday, I was beyond disappointed. She was not supposed to act the way she did and her stubbornness is slowing down the witches’ plans. I’ve been in my room all day and kept the door locked. I cast a spell in the room so that those outside wouldn’t be able to hear anything that is happening inside because I am about to have a conversation with the spirits and no one can hear what they’re about to tell me.Grabbing a needle from my dresser, I prick my index finger and let my blood drop over the candles I have placed in a circle. I light the candles with a snap of my finger and step into the circle, sitting down with my legs crossed over each other. I have no idea what they might want to tell
