Selene

Yawning tiredly and rubbing my sleepy eyes, I folded the last piece of clothing, carefully placing it in the laundry basket and locking the laundry room.

Work was hectic, and the exercises sapped every ounce of my energy, leaving me exhausted.

I craved a bath. A long one.

One filled with lavender, essential oils and scented candles. A bath so relaxing and energy-refilling. A warm bath that would be so peaceful, away from the distraction in this house.

A giggle rolled off my lips at the imagination, making me hasten my steps as I drew nearer and nearer to my bedroom.

I just couldn't wait.

Maybe I could do some chants, meditate and awaken my powers, which could help me master them while I was in the bathtub.

Urgh!

Disappointment hit me like a ton of bricks at the realization.

I was a powerless witch.

What a shame!

Nothing screams pathetic like a witch without powers. How could I even claim I was a witch without being able to perform some magic?

    Selene Each agonizing scream accelerated the pace of my legs, fuelling them with a newly found energy. And in a flash of light, all my tiredness and sleepiness were long gone and forgotten as adrenaline took charge. Was everything alright over there? Most especially with Esmeralda? "Hey, come back!" One of the guards yelled before stretching his hands to grab me, but I dodged it and increased my pace. Nothing would stop me from seeing Esmeralda tonight. Not even thousands of guards. "You, get back here!" Another guard ran after me, but I was quick to outsmart him, making him lose me. Swerving left to avoid being caught by an incoming guard who was bent on taking me, I made my way to a huge door dividing both sections. Without thinking twice, I flung it open, throwing myself in. My pace reduced as I was met with an unfamiliar building. Then it dawned on me. I didn't know which room Esmeralda was in. All I remembered was its pink interiors. But there was no way I could lo

    Selene "Burn her!" "Kill her!" Those cruel words filled the air as I laid on the dusty floor, centred by people of my kind. Witches and wizards. Witches and wizards that gathered around me for a common interest. To have me dead. "Set her ablaze!" "Murderer! "What an abomination!" "Outcast!" They chanted angrily, tossing my toddler figure around as people scratched and hit me to their satisfaction. "Such evil!" "Disgusting!" A woman screamed, scrunching up her nose in disgust like I was thrash. "Hypocrite!" Another tossed me aside, making me fall to the ground, wearily. I sat on the cold floor, watching the angry mob that was ready to lynch me in confusion. Why did they want me dead? I have been a good witch. What did I do wrong? I racked my toddler brain, but answers eluded it. Afraid of their incessant chants and angry faces, I scurried to my feet, about to run away from it, to end it all but a kick sent me crashing to the cold floor, kissing the dust.

    Selene The angry voices of the mob grew louder as we struggled to make our way in their midst, out of the town square. To be forever banished to the village outskirts. Curses and scorns flew from different directions, landing on us. And so were the beatings. Scolding and yelling at as many as she could, my grandmother made her way out of the crowd, scooping me into her arms like her life depended on it. "Evil child. Evil mother!" They yelled, pushing Sage in all directions. "Like grandmother like granddaughter," Another said, pointing fingers at her. Like a sleeping dog, Sage ignored them as she trod amongst them, ignoring as many as she could. Tears welled up in my eyes at the sight. She was beaten because of me, spat on and stripped of her position. Just to rescue me. A faint smile washed upon my face as I looked into the eyes of my grandmother. My saviour. But the smile vanished just as it appeared, as I watched her struggle to keep people's hands away from my

    Kade "What do you think, Kade?" Amelia's tiny voice brought me back to reality. I watched her hands carefully caressing the puffball of a bouquet of dandelions in a flower vase. The smile on her face won't stop spreading as she glared at the dandelions like they were her babies. I swallowed before clearing the lump stuck in my throat, "The sight grabs attention and they are beautiful" I said, watching the dandelion as they held me spellbound. "They are beautiful, just like you, Amelia," My hand reached her face, tucking the stray hair that dangled on her face to have an unobstructed view of it, "Very beautiful," A smile played on my face as the afternoon sun shone brightly on Amelia's face, causing a beautiful glow. The gentle breeze tousled her hair in different directions, leaving it in a mess. A beautiful mess. The smile on my face faded as it appeared when the realization hit me. My little sister was growing up. She was growing so fucking fast that I wondered if she had

    Esmeralda I woke up with a start, followed by a long loud gasp that left me panting hard. Sitting upright immediately, I stared into space, gasping for breath recalling the vent of my nightmare flashed through my head. Except it was a panic attack caused by the she-devil herself. Her claws dragged me into the darkness with my body bound by silver chains, leaving me no room for escape. It hurt. It burned, so bad that my skin peeled. And fresh droplets of my blood splashed on me, and her. Her snaky tongue found its way in the darkness, licking each drop of my blood, hungrily, almost draining me completely, like a starved vampire sucking the blood of its victim. I screamed and pleaded, but it wouldn't stop her torture. My agonizing screams sounded like pleasant music to her ears, satisfying her troubled soul. And my blood tasted like fine wine on her tongue, causing muffled moans and groans out of her lips. She enjoyed it. She enjoyed me. But as if that was not enough

    Kade Surprise swept me off my feet as I stared at Amelia's face. Her words threw me off balance. Mate? I think I needed one. One who was paired with me by the Moon goddess. One who could understand and share my feelings, pains, and happiness. The one I would love to call mine, forever. But I think the Moon goddess hated me for depriving me of a mate when I turned eighteen. I could still remember the night of my birthday party and the Moonball ceremony where I had practically sniffed the hell out of the unmated females, but none sent my wolf into a state of frenzy with her scent, not even nearly. Was it my nose? Was my sense of smell not activated? It had to be my nose. I had kept my hope alive, hoping my nineteenth birthday would be different, but the Moon goddess crushed my feelings again, making my expectations dash against the hard rock of pain and bitterness. How could I not find my mate out of thousands of people in attendance? Who was she? Where was she hiding?

    Phoebe When the going gets tough, only the tough get going. With those words, I navigated my way into the woods, alone at midnight. The battle was getting tougher and tougher by the day. But I would never back off. I was tough. And only the tough ones could survive. Despite the scary sight in the woods, nothing would make me back off. Not even a monster with twelve heads. I had started this journey alone and I would finish it successfully on my own. A whine in my head followed by a protest rolled a light chuckle from my lips. Kruella was jealous! "Fine, we are together in this, jealous bitch," I snapped, a satisfying pur left her throat. Sneaking out of the house never posed to be an issue, but for some strange reason, dad's presence hovered around the house, monitoring my movement. Forgiveness. Forgiveness was what he pleaded. And after I assured him of my forgiveness, followed by a kiss on his forehead, he melted away in his room. Same with Esmeralda. That bit

    PhoebeMy eyes bulged, almost popping out of their sockets and a loud gasp escaped from my lips as a thundering voice echoed from the top of the mountain, vibrating the woods and shaking the trees to their roots.Shapeshifting into my wolf form, I ran up the mountain for easy movement. Climbing the mountain in my human form would be a waste of time. Once I got to the top, I fell on my face as a bright light shone in my direction. "Arise and follow me," A voice said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I couldn't miss the scorn laced in her voice. It was so obvious, I could taste it. Could she be...No!Sabrina could shapeshift into many things, but shapeshifting into this ugly bitch was the last thing she would do. Following her lead, as we took long strides to the top of the mountain that looked like a big town, I couldn't help but notice some witches pinning me with a scornful glare. Their eyes bored holes behind my back as I made my way into their midst.The hate was obvious. It w

    If you are reading this right now, you don't know how much grateful I am. It takes a lot to start a book from the beginning, but out of the many hundreds that started this journey with me, you chose to finish this book without considering my long breaks, grammatical inaccuracy and all. I really want to appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. I'm glad you invested both time and money into my book. Bless you all. I know the way I ended the book didn't please some of you, but it's the best I can do. I also didn't like the way I rushed my book, especially the part two. At least, Esmeralda and Selene got their happy ending. I planned on making the part two at least 30 chapters, but I have to study for my examination. It's next month and it's already here. I don't want to leave you hanging again. After my exam, I can write as much as I can because I'll be a graduate (BA) I'm studying English and literary studies 😉 This chapter was intended to appreciate those that spend time, gems, a

    Chapter 114 (T.R.O.P) Esmeralda I had almost finished meditating on my powers when my stomach growled in hunger. The more I tried to focus on building my strength, to control my powers, the more the war in my stomach doubled. When I couldn't take it anymore, I got up from the floor where I knelt, picked up the piece of cloth that I knelt on and went inside the house. I almost missed the melodies the birds filled my ears with. I love nature and it helps me concentrate better. It fuels my strength when I draw powers from it. A smile crept on my lips when a delicious scent wafted my nose. I couldn't wait to devour the new recipe I just tried. I decided to try out a recipe that I found in an old jotter in the kitchen. I was sure it belonged to the man's wife that owned the house. After several hours of mixing, frying, stirring and boiling, it came out well. Even though I turned the kitchen upside down. I couldn't wait to try out more recipes in the book when I get

    Chapter 113(T.R.O.P) Esmeralda A sigh of relief slipped off my lips, "Home sweet home," I muttered tiredly as I walked into the 'old house' as Selene often referred to it. Staying in the old house was my idea which she hated because it belonged to an old couple that died several years ago. The house was built in an old-fashioned way to Selene's distaste. But I cared less. Whether old-fashioned or not, the house was warm and comforting. It reminded me of my mother's house. The option of moving to my mother's house was a tempting one, but I discarded the idea. I didn't want to be reminded of those memories. As far as I was concerned, they were dead and buried. And I had already moved on. I strode to the dining table tiredly, poured some water from the jug into a glass cup and gulped every drop of it down my throat. My throat was almost on fire! The sun was merciless and I had exhausted the water in my bottle. Worst of all, I and Selene were the only ones here. I w

    Chapter 112(T.R.O.P)EsmeraldaThe night was long and terrifying. I couldn't sleep all night as I was afraid of what he would do to me. The sounds of his constant mumbling, groaning and jerking kept my eyes glued on him. And his cursing too. Sometimes, he whispered words that sounded like pleas while sometimes, he shouted from his sleep like someone was after him or chasing him in a hot pursuit.It was strange because I had never imagined anything could make this monstrous Alpha behave vulnerable in his sleep. I couldn't fathom what was happening to him but I knew it was a dream. A bad dream. His worst nightmare. But what kind of dream frightens the Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack? Suddenly, he woke up, gasping and panting hard. My blood almost froze when he shot me a deadly glare. But after a few seconds, he went back to sleep. It didn't take long before the jerking began again. The second time was the worst. He jumped on the bed like he saw a ghost in his dream and dashed out

    Chapter 111(T.R.O.P) Aphelion Impatient, I banged the door repeatedly with my large fist, ignoring the person's sleepy voice as I banged it again. "Fucking answer me," I cursed with shaky breath, swallowing hard as I was partly consumed by fear. Yes, you heard right. The Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack was afraid. If it were by some lousy Alpha, I would have understood, but it was by some strange woman. A woman from my nightmare dressed in green robes with strange strawberry hair. My breath hitched when the cold breeze swept up on my skin and I quickly turned back to look into the darkness. I could feel her flaming emerald eyes giving me a haunting disapproving look. And that evil grin plastered on her face...and her words that left me in shock. My heartbeat quickened as my eyes roamed the darkness. It was like she was here... watching me... haunting me... And in times like this, there was only one person I needed… "Open this fucking door!" I tried to use my Alpha vo

    Chapter 110 (T.R.O.P) Kade "Alpha," Lucas, my Gamma called, bringing me out of my deep thoughts. I snapped my head at him, accessing him shortly before signalling him to come in. My heart skipped a beat when he walked into the room. I tried to keep my emotions in check, but my heart won't stop pounding in anticipation. I didn't miss the surprised look on his face as he walked into my room with his mouth slightly ajar. My room was as messy as hell. It looked like the third world war happened here. Things were scattered everywhere, including broken objects. He carefully navigated his path, avoiding the broken wine glass on the floor before bowing briefly to me and stopping to watch me. Just go straight to the point! I shifted uncomfortably on my seat, watching him eagerly to speak. Don't look desperate, Kade. But fuck it, I was desperate. I've never been so desperate in my life. Since he wasn't going to speak, I'll go first. I hope it was a positive result. "A

    Chapter 109 (The Return Of Phoebe) Esmeralda "Move it!" The guard yelled, rough handling me. His hard hands grabbed my slim arm as he dragged me into Aphelion's bedroom. Anger rose in Emerald's chest as she growled at him. Angry at his behaviour, she took over from me. "You better stop that act and behave yourself," He growled back, his face reddened in anger. "Let me go, punk," Emerald screamed, wiggling to set herself free from his firm grip. "It will be my pleasure to slap some sense into you. But the Alpha will not have it if I did," He hissed. Despite Aphelion hitting me, he instructed his subjects not to lay their hands on me. "I am Luna. Show some respect!" Emerald bit his dry hand, attempting to escape. But he was quick to catch her and lead her into the room. "Fucking bitch!" He cursed, tightening his grip on my arm till the area turned bright pink. I whimpered in pain as his fingers brushed over the bruised part. Emerald's mouth won't put me in trouble.

    Chapter 108 (The Return Of Phoebe) Esmeralda My eyes flew wide open in surprise and my hand covered my small mouth that wouldn't stop opening. How did he know I was Alpha Kade's mate? I shifted uncomfortably as his aura caused me to tremble greatly. His aura screamed so much power, dominance, hatred, anger, pride and other scary things. Whoever this strange man was, he was up to no good. I could feel it in my bones. His smirks say it all. They were evil and dark. And his eyes…they screamed how cruel he was. They didn't hide how much they hated me. There was also something sinister about the way he looked at me...with so much disgust as if I had buried myself in a pile of dirt. He was ferocious, so mean, so evil, even Emerald trembled in my head, despite how unconscious she was. His evil aura affected her greatly. Despite being ferocious, he was not as ferocious as Alpha Kade. While Alpha Kade behaved ruthlessly, he still had some good buried deep down in his sto

    Chapter 107 (END OF PART ONE) Esmeralda Another three days came and went, another three of pain and suffering. Another three days of enduring the torture that my mate had sex with another woman. How could he? How could he do that when he knew how much pain it would cause me? He was not ignorant of that, yet he chose to torture me in this manner. This was the worst treatment I had ever received. Even the harsh treatment from my former pack couldn't be compared to what I felt. Not even the dreaded horsewhip stood a chance. I was dying. The pain was killing me rapidly, eating me up from the inside and leaving me in a mess. I cried all day till I no longer had tears to shed. Was that how much he hated me? By fucking a whore for three days?! I spat in disgust as a bile of anger rose in my chest. I hate him. I hate everything about him. I regret the day I met him. And for what he has done to me, I will never forgive him. The thought of him in bed with another
