Lorcan's PovThat night, I couldn't get rid of the uneasiness that had been developing inside of me and found myself wide awake. My activities for the day should have left me exhausted, but I was unable to fall asleep. I rolled from one end of the bed to the other, turning from side to side. I got up, went over to the window, and threw it open. A sharp gust of air entered, cooling my flesh to the touch. A bead of sweat trickled down the back of my neck and congealed there before disappearing. I turned to return to the bed. My heart thumped with yearning; my eyes were sleep-deprived. Then it dawned on me what was keeping me awake—or, more accurately, who was. It was Ava. I wanted her. Her demeanor, scent, and visage stayed with me; she made an impression. It was impossible for me to ignore the notion of her.As I collapsed onto my bed, I fixed my gaze on the ceiling and the kingdom map that was painted above, seeing that all of the lines and shapes seemed to reorganize to create her f
Ava's POVAva woke up feeling tired and groggy, her body aching all over. She slowly opened her eyes, only to find a figure lying on her bed, sleeping soundly. She rubbed her eyes, trying to clear the haze, and sat up with a start."Who are you?!" she demanded, her voice shaking with anger. "What are you doing in my bed?!"The figure stirred, opening his eyes to meet hers. Ava's anger turned to shock as she realized it was Lorcan, the prince she had argued with just the day before."Lorcan! What are you doing here?!" she exclaimed, her voice rising.Lorcan smiled lazily, stretching his arms above his head. "Good morning, Ava. I could ask you the same thing. What are you doing in my arms?"Ava's face flushed with anger and embarrassment. "I...I didn't know it was you," she stammered. "I thought you were...someone else."Lorcan's smile grew wider. "Someone else? Ah, Ava. You wound me. I thought our night together was unforgettable."Ava's anger boiled over. "Get out! Get out of my bed a
Ava's POVQueen Endora led me to a secluded glade in the palace gardens, surrounded by towering trees and a babbling brook. "This is where we will practice, Ava," she said, her eyes shining with encouragement. "Remember, controlling your powers takes time and patience, but with dedication and persistence, you will master them."She began by teaching me deep breathing exercises, showing me how to calm my mind and focus my energy. I practiced inhaling deeply, holding my breath, and exhaling slowly, feeling my magic respond to my calm state.Next, she introduced me to physical exercises, demonstrating intricate hand movements and gestures that helped channel my magic. I followed her lead, my fingers weaving patterns in the air as I practiced directing my energy.We also worked on meditation techniques, sitting cross-legged on the grass as Queen Endora guided me through visualizations and affirmations. I closed my eyes, imagining a bright light at my core, and repeated phrases like "I am
Lorcan's POVI sluggishly dragged my feet into the bathroom and came to a halt immediately I arrived in front of the basin. I pressed my stomach to the basin and rested my head on the mirror.I was feeling drowsy obviously because of the glorious incident from last night. I yawned loudly, and raised my head up staring at my reflection which was blurred as a result of my still asleep eyes.I moved my hand to the set of toothbrush in a cup and picked up a brush, applied toothpaste and started brushing my teeth.Today, I was rather slow and sluggish with my washing up activities. I barely brushed my teeth, and took a clean bath.Then again, I was back in the same mirror. Now I could see my reflection clearly. I moved the hand towel to my hair and ruffled it making the water to splash at different ends. I gently placed the towel at the side of the basin and moved to dressing my hair.As I studied my reflection, each part of my body brought memories. Dirty ones that my brain would never fo
TREYTON'S POV I was indoors, resting on a couch, where I laid comfortably, reading a book. I was enjoying every bit of the moment. The environment was serene and calm evening breeze was amazingly cool to the body, but then everything turned sour. I suddenly began to hear noises that sounded as the type that comes from rioters. I got confused as I couldn't figure out what the matter was. “Few minutes ago, everywhere was quiet, but how come the disturbing noise? ", I asked myself with so much curiosity, and uncertainty. I couldn't bear the noise any longer, so I got up from the couch where I laid, I dropped my book, paused for sometime, trying to dictate where exactly the noise was coming from.I walked up to the corridor where I kept my footwear, I wore it and headed to the veranda. When I got to the veranda, the noise kept on increasing. It lured me to go down the stairs in order to see for myself what the matter was. When I got down, I saw other neighbours running Helter skelter.
Rafferty's POV I sprinted out of the woods, my feet brushed against the elephant grasses as I raced. Every part of me was trying hard to pacify my spirit and convince it that everything was fine. Nothing was wrong. But I was just being delusional. My feet froze to the ground immediately I could sight our village, my heavy breathing began to subside back to it normal pace. Our village which had always been toursit attraction was now a typical mess, a dumb store for dead bodies. The smell of blood and fire intermingled and they traveled deep into my nostrils down to my brain making me grow incredibly scared and agitated. The Cries and screams from the helpless villagers was the only thing audible in my ear. I raised my sword in anger and thrust it deep, not into my heart but that of Jeff's men who had taken advantage of Ava's absence to raide the kingdom. Their wants were clear and evidently shone above all things, which was to taunt and haunt the villagers. I drew out the sword fr
Ava's PovEven I was shocked when I unleashed my magic and it exploded like a tempest. I had never felt such strength flow through me, but I knew I had to protect my realm and my people with it.I felt like my strength had a mind of its own while I fought Lucifer and his army. I summoned gusts of wind to fall his men and walls of flame to thwart their assaults. I was driven by a fierce feeling of purpose, and my magic followed my every word.Lucifer was taken aback by my actions and his eyes grew wide. I knew I had to watch out for glimpses of the friend he used to be. That was his devotion—not to me or to our empire, but to his father.The conflict persisted, pitting Lucifer's might and cunning against my sorcery. However, I refused to quit up. I unleashed my final, most powerful magical blast, sending Lucifer hurtling across the battlefield. He fell heavily to the ground, stunned and defeated.I stood over him, feeling a range of emotions, my chest heaving with fatigue. "Lucifer, y
Lorcan's POVWe stood at the top of the tower with my father's greatest work, his destruction, and joy beneath us.Lucifer was backing me, with his hands crossed behind and eyes patrolling the area. He watched his army fight the witches, and the moment his army wins he clench his fist and raise it up high in victory. To him, it was a mere game, but to us it was a fight for life and destiny.How I wish he was human, I would have just pushed him off the tower and watched him fall to the ground alongside his crafty devices. But, he is immortal, killing him would be chewing a bullet and spitting it. It was nearly impossible, for he was the devil.The hearing sense heightens as a footstep approaches, I turned my head sharply to my side and behold it was Ava. I felt butterflies triumph in my belly, a smile curved on my face.Ava smiled back and placed a finger on her lip. Then, I remembered my father was few feets away from me, the moments he looks back I would be drowning in tears.Lucifer
The room sounded to grow warmer as her mates girdled her, their traces gentle and tender. Lorcan's fritters traced patterns on her arm, transferring jitters down her chin. Rafferty's hand rested on her knee, his thumb rubbing soothing circles. Treyton knelt in front of her, his hands on her shanks, resting her with his steady presence. Ava's heart pounded in her casket as she looked at each of them, her cheeks flushing with warmth." I. I am just not sure what to do," she confessed, her voice slightly above a tale.

But now, it was time to look to the future. The elders had called for a gathering, one that would determine the fate of our leadership. Rumors had been circulating, whispers of Ava’s fortune, but no bone knew the full extent of what was to come. As I stood among the crowd, watching the elders take their places, a sense of expectation filled the air. The head elder, a wizened man with eyes that sounded to pierce through time, stepped forward. His voice, though old, carried power and authority. “ moment, we gather to fulfill a vaticination, ” he began, his aspect sweeping over the assembled pack members.

Raffrerty PovRafferty stood at the crest of the hill, the fading light casting long murk over the devastated battleground. His heart was heavy with the recollections of the battle that had been fought then just days agone The Growl Pack had surfaced victorious over the Night Moon Pack, but the cost of their freedom had been steep. The bodies tortious , and the scent of blood and death dallied in the air. He turned down from the ghastly sight, his mind counted down with grief. As the leader of the Growl Pack, Rafferty knew the responsibility for their losses lay heavy on his shoulders. He'd led them into this battle, and while they had won their freedom, the price had been far too high. His aspect shifted to Ava, whot stood a many paces down, her shoulders drooped and her head bowed in anguish. Her stylish friend, Kairo, had saved her life at the cost of her own, and the pain of that loss was etched deeply into Ava’s face. Ava’s generally bright eyes were dull and red

Treyton's Pov Ava and Lorcan's return to our pack was nothing short of triumphant, but I could tell by their determined looks that they knew the fight was far from done. Their arrival rekindled the spark of hope that had almost died out in our species due to the brutal dictatorship of Night Moon Pack and Nascence Jeff. Lorcan's reputation, Ava's magic, and my own abilities were an unbeatable combination, but more than brute force and sorcery would be required to save our people and end this suffering. It was nightfall when we reached Alpha Jeff's fort's perimeter. The silence that pervaded the night was a sharp contrast to the wrath that was about to break out. With every stride, our allies from the Moonlight Pack and the Witch Kingdom advanced us closer to the conflict that would determine our destiny. Moving to the frontline lines, Lorcan, Ava, and I scanned the horizon for any indication of activity. The black fort that housed our people was impending ahead. We were to wage
Lorcan's Pov The Turning of The battlefield was a blur of silence and commotion, where life and death were decidedly close. Bodies, both friendly and hostile, were lying facedown on the blood-stained ground, their gasping eyes staring up at a blank sky. I inhaled sharply, each breath tasting of ash and the metallic aftertaste of blood. My brand, a faithful comrade in this bleak conflict, trembled in my hand, echoing the thunderous clash that had just finished. Eventually, the war came to an end. The words were foreign, even unimaginable. Our steadfast resolve had crushed the dark bournes of my father's army, bringing it to a halt. A realm that was about to be destroyed, the Witch Kingdom, was now safe and unhindered. The sadness of the lives lost and the broken gemütlichkeit coexisted with the sensation of palm. I pivoted, focusing my gaze on Ava's. Despite being ill, she had a strong light in her eyes that had not dulled. Her power had run out, but she was safe and her spirit
Ava's PovI, Ava, slowly opened my eyes, my head cloudy and my senses swirling. The world around me was a jumble of shadows and murmurs, and it took a while for reality to congeal into something tangible. I could hear distant, muted voices, as if they were from another universe. "What is going on?" I rumored, my voice barely audible. "Ava, can you hear me?" Lorcan's voice was critical, his remarks cutting through the fuzz. His anxiety was obvious, breaking through the fog in my head. I jounced weakly, hoping to empty my head." Y- yea. "What happened?" "You unleashed a massive quantum of power," Queen Endora said, her voice full of respect."The entire area is shrouded in darkness." I struggled to sit up, my head whirling."What do you mean?" Lucifer's voice, silky and filled with conspiracy, approached me suddenly." Ava, you've tapped into a vast spring of magic. One that could alter the course of our world." I peered about, trying to take everything in. The darkness was p
Lorcan's Pov With Ava's magic reaching an unprecedented level, the whole place was enveloped in a blackness so deep it sounded as though it had a life of its own. The air hummed with raw, untamed energy and the heavens swirled with black shadows. Amid all of this confusion, Lorcan remained steadfast in his position. Lucifer's eyes narrowed as he looked at Lorcan, perhaps understanding him. "Lorcan, you wisecrack, " Lucifer growled in a menacingly low voice. "You slept with her, did not you?" Lorcan grinned without regret. "I did, and I'd do it again in a twinkle." Though rage flared in Lucifer's eyes, he seemed intrigued by Lorcan's unwavering confidence. "You have no idea what you've unleashed, do you?" Lucifer chuckled. Lorcan, though, only laughed.Well, I guess I do. Our senses and our powers. They're all amplified right now. We are linked in ways that we never could have imagined." Lorcan's remarks seemed validated by the way Ava's magic pulsed through the
