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
CHLOE’S POV“She told you she did what?” Warren exclaims once I tell him what Morgana told me. After Morgana left my room yesterday, I knew I had to find a way to get Warren on my side. I know Warren is in love with Morgana and wouldn’t want to journey to the forbidden forests with me but I can’t leave him here all alone.“She kissed him. She probably didn’t tell you because she knows you have feelings for her and she didn’t want to hurt you. But she kissed him. She told me she loves him.” Warren’s face frowns in pain as I tell him all what Morgana has been doing with the alpha.“Are you sure?” He asked with a pained voice, his lips almost pouting as his eyes water. Warren hasn’t known Morgana for a long time but I don’t blame him for falling for her to be honest. Morgana isn’t hard to love. She’s amazing but she has been dissuaded. I nod at Warren and he lets out an exhale.He gets up from the small almost broken stool he was sitting on and grabs a test tube, throwing it aggressively
MORGANA’S POVI don’t know how to feel about Chloe and Warren ganging up on me. I know they have every right to be angry but part of me thought they would understand because we’re supposed to be friends right.And I can’t believe they think my feelings for Damon are clouding my judgement. I know what I am supposed to do and I haven’t forgotten my goals. My motives may have changed a bit but my will to fight is still the same. My mind may have changed about the werewolves but I don’t know how I feel about committing mass murder.They want to wipe out the vampires and werewolves from the face of the earth but the werewolves are mortals just like us and they may have hurt us but killing all of them doesn’t sit right with me anymore. The vampires have always been the real threat to humanity.I like to think that all these killings started with the vampires and the werewolves, humans and witches got caught up in the middle of it all. The witches were driven to the forbidden forests. The hu
DAMON’S POVMorgana and I walk into my room together, my hand on the small of her waist, her long red hair dancing from side to side as she walks, flowing down her back like a waterfall. I love her hair. I’m filled with joy in this moment. Colton and Morgana may not be best friends but they’ve made peace with each other.Colton actually apologized. For the first time in my brother’s life, he put his pride aside. This means even he must see how vital it is that we stop fighting, put our differences together and work as one against the vampires.I shut the door behind us, we walk towards my bed. Morgana lays on her back an I watch her carefully. The sunlight shining into my room, falls on my bed and illuminates her red hair giving it a sort of fiery look. She closes her eyes, exhales and opens them back up again.The blue in her eyes is beautiful. I want to kiss her again, hold her in my arms. She glances at me and sits up, a familiar frown on her face. I’ve learnt to study her facial e
WARREN’S POVI can’t believe what’s happening to Morgana. This is all messed up. I don’t want to accept the fact she chose Damon and not me. she knew I had feelings for her and I thought she hated Damon. I thought she would rather die than love him back. I thought our relationship could have grown past just friendship.But I guess I wasn’t good enough for her. She used me to make herself stronger so that she could be with the alpha. But what she doesn’t understand is that man will never love her the way I do. Damon will never care for her the way I do.If only she could just open her eyes and see that her love for him isn’t real. She’s being manipulated. If only she knew how much I love her. Damon can’t keep her safe. She’ll only get caught up in the middle of his war with the vampires and she might get hurt. She might die.She needs someone to remind her of who she is and whose side she’s on. She needs me, but I’m not strong enough for her yet. I may not be a werewolf, or a vampire,
MORGANA’S POV“I think Chloe, Warren and I need to have a little chat.” Damon says seriously. I don’t know if Chloe and Warren are going to listen to him but it doesn’t hurt to try. Maybe he needs to show Chloe that he has changed and that won’t make Chloe automatically come to terms with him but maybe he can get her on his side.All of us are in the meeting room now. And by all of us, I mean Colton, Ryder, Reece, Warren, Chloe and I. The tension in the room is thick and it is caused by the death stares that Warren and Chloe keep shooting at the rest of us. Colton looks bored. He hasn’t fully recovered yet but color is back on his previously pale skin and his muscles are visible again.Ryder has the same kind look on his face, like he couldn’t hurt a fly and Reece just scowls at Chloe and Warren. Damon asked all of us to come in here and wait for him. A meeting with a witch, a human and werewolves to fight against vampires. I’m not sure where I fall in that list. I’m not sure what I a
DAMON’S POVMorgana fell asleep in my arms last night. She actually cried herself to sleep and I held her in my arms while she cried. I let her feel whatever it is she wanted to. She was sad about Chloe and Warren. She thinks they hate her now but I saw the look in Chloe’s eyes. It didn’t look like she hated Morgana, Chloe just looked hurt. Like she couldn’t believe that Morgana has betrayed her. I completely understand where Chloe is coming from but I won’t just sit back and watch my people go extinct.I don’t know if Morgana noticed it too but there was something about Warren yesterday that put me in a state of unease. There was a look in his eyes that I didn’t like. The way he looked at Morgana possessively and hungrily, it made my stomach turn.I know Morgana mentioned that he is in love with her but what I saw in his eyes did not look like love. It was psychotic, it was a dangerous obsession and I have a feeling that I need to be weary of him. Immediately he left, I checked the b
MORGANA’S POVIt’s time for us to address the werewolf nation and the other humans. Ryder, Colton, Damon and I stand at a high stage, looking down at the crowd below us. Werewolves and humans stand in confusion below us, murmuring to each other. Warren and Chloe aren’t here and it makes me wonder what they’re up to. I keep having this feeling that Chloe and Warren are going to do something stupid and dangerous. As the people continue to murmur, Damon raises his hand and automatically, the entire crowd goes silent. I think it’s amazing how he’s able to command respect with just a few gestures and part of me wishes I was as authoritative as him. His authority before was ruthless but now even in kindness he’s able to command respect.“Werewolves and humans!” He starts saying. “Today is a new day. A beautiful day for change. Today marks the day when the werewolves and humans would finally make peace. You all must be wondering why you’re here. As it stands, you all know there is a war b
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
