Alex After our meeting, we left to enjoy the views of the house garden. The flowers there were exquisite, and I saw how very detailed the trimmings of bushes were. Sam and I weren't the only ones there. Other guests were there too. As we walked through the garden, we heard moans and knew some people were at it. This place was truly a pleasure Villa. We didn't want to check it out, but while we were walking, we bumped into Whiterose and Walsh having an orgy with three ladies. Whiterose saw me and winked. He was ramming himself into a woman. " Wanna join us?" He asked, and we quickly walked away. While walking, we found two wolves at it too. These people had decided to let their wolves mate instead of mating in their human forms. We just needed to get through the day, and we would be on our way back the next day. By afternoon, we played lots of games, Archery, race, limbo and horse riding. The day was packed with fun, and no one could miss how much William dotted on his wife. The tw
Alex. Raphael took a deep breath and sat on his chair. He looked tired and beaten down. I guess he was holding so much in and didn't know how to express himself. " Those things are after the eye of Apophis," he confessed. " What is that?" I asked him. " It is a Sapphire gem that can give anyone supernatural powers. It also belongs to the god of evil and corruption. Some people believe it is the Eye of Dolos, but it is Apophis," He said, and I was dumbfounded. " Where is this gem?" I asked him, and he looked at me. " With me, always with me," he confessed. I wondered how Raphael would happen upon something so strong. Before I could ask him, he began to speak. " I found the Sapphire in Rosehip's safe when I took over his pack. The moment I touched it, my life changed. First, I was stronger than I used to be, and gradually I began to do other things like heal people and manipulate the weather to our advantage. We kept everything under wraps, and things were okay for three months.
William Samantha approached me in the middle of the event. She looked a bit unsettled, and I felt she was worried about something. I turned towards her to let her know she had my full attention. She smiled at me sweetly. No matter how happy Sam was, her eyes looked haunted. I could tell she had been through a lot, and those events had hardened her. No matter how she tried to hide it, her negative experience showed, and I hoped one day her wounds would truly heal. Alex was oblivious of his mate's pain, and I did not blame him. Samantha tried hard to mask it. There was even a possibility that she did not even know the pain was there. I wondered if she told me everything that had happened to her after she left the Spirit Wolf settlement. I doubted she told me everything. The Yellow Moon Pack was notorious for how they treated outsiders. I doubted if her experience was different. She had survived that pack just as Ellis had survived the bond. I pulled her aside so she could speak to me pr
Alex "Speak," I told Raphael. I knew he was scared, and tension was already high. I did not know how much the Clearsands were feared until now. The man opened his mouth and found it difficult to let the word out. "I found the eye of Apophis in Rosehips safe. " he began. "What is that?" William asked. I did not expect anyone to know what that was. We were werewolves. "It is as a gem that gives its owner power, but when used to do good things, the opposite effect happens after a while," he said, and he had their attention. Raphael explained everything he told me to William. I felt the rage William felt after he had explained everything. "You and Tristan planned to bring that thing here?" he asked with so much rage. "No," Raphael tried to explain. It follows me everywhere I go. I have to gift it to someone else to be rid of it, and I do not want something of this magnitude to fall into the wrong hands. So I held on to it instead. But it seems while we made enquiries, the wrong peopl
Ellis I linked with Melena and Audrey immediately. We had no time to waste. If what Raphael had told us was the truth, as long as he was here, those things would strike again. I needed to know all that there was to know about the gem and if it could be destroyed. I smiled at William while he served our guest drinks. What should have been a pleasure-filled evening had become tedious. "Ellis, this better be good," Audrey said, and I knew I had interrupted something. "Do you know anything about the Eye of Apophis?" I said to her, and she was silent a bit. "It is a blue sapphire gem?" she asked, and I looked at Raphael. "Alpha Raphael, is the gem blue?" I asked him, and he nodded. "Yes," I told Audrey, and she was silent. "What about it?" She finally asked. "Well, Alpha Raphael said those things are after it," I told her. "How did he come about that?" She asked me, and I told her all he had told us about discovering the gem, using it and having it appraised. Doing some research an
Samantha. It wasn't long after Alpha Raphael left that commotion began in the premises. Ellis was right when she said they would strike when our guards were down. This was the right time to strike. When we were presumed to be wrapped in the heat of pleasure, and not when we were sleeping as she had thought. Because no one was on patrol, these weird wolves were able to get into the building. Ellis reached for her katana immediately, and Wiliam partially shifted. Hide in your rooms!" William yelled outside and at the same time, linked everyone. He was powerful. I did not shift fully this time. Helena took over my human body to fight. We all stepped out after William to see some commotion. Two of the guests had turned already. The rest were taking cover. The wolves looked extremely vicious and very dangerous. They had a form of the force around them that flung attackers away. Unlike the other attack, this time around it seemed like they were heading somewhere. They had a target and w
Ellis The party was eventful, and we got to make new friends and family. Sam had behaved strangely when I hugged her to say goodbye. I wondered if she could see what I was seeing. It was a long shot since William was oblivious to what I was seeing. The mages and I had a meeting, but I was a bit sleepy, so I decided to put up my feet. I had promised William to rest the moment the guests left. Putting my feet up was me keeping that promise. I did not want my sleep to be wasted, so I prayed to Dinah and Ephrim, hoping one of them would meet me, so we can discuss what has been plaguing my sleep for months, and now was plaguing my waking hours, which could not be a good sign. I touched my bump and prayed that whatever it was, It would not affect my baby or the lives of innocent people. I laid my head down to sleep and waited for sleep to take me away. "Ellis," I heard a breathy masculine voice call out to me. Initially, I thought it was a dream, and then it called onto me again. I was in
Ellis I couldn't believe all that Ephraim told me. I sat up in bed, breathing fast and heavy. As much as I wished it was a dream, I knew it wasn't. Ephraim would not lie to me me. He had no reason to. My palms began to sweat as I began to hyperventilate. This was greater than I thought. How could I have known Apophis would be a part of it and that it would play a huge part in bringing the damned vision to life? Alpha Raphael had brought the damn thing here. Would the corruption begin from my home? I remained glued to the bed. I never signed up for this. It was too damn much. How can I wear the shoes of gods? It was one thing to be a demigod, it was another to be a god, especially when I have lived all my life as a human. I rarely used any of my abilities. I held on to my human side. I might have miraculously become a partial immortal, but I could not go against a full-fledged god, especially one strong enough to swallow the sun and corrupt the moon. Why would they lay such a heavy lo
Ellis The moment we got home everyone was tired and happy. It was time to roll away the darkness. I needed to move quickly and do all that need to be done so I could spend time with my husband and children. My heart was breaking, and I did not know how to tell him we only had three days to be together before I ascended. I knew my humanity was gone. I felt it. I knew so much and had an understanding beyond my imagination. "Ellis, are you alright?" Melena asked me, and I smiled at her. William walked to me and kissed me, resting his head against mine. "I love you, El." he said, and I had tears in my eyes because we had only a few days together. I did not know I was crying until he used his thumb to gently wipe away my tears. "I do not care about your bond with Helio. It was necessary to accomplish all this. I know you did it for me. I cannot be mad about it." He told me, and I nodded, but I was mad about it. I did not want to be with any other man except for William. I loved my husba
Ellis The Fate sisters moved closer to all of us, and I saw that they were translucent. They had blank expressions on their faces and spoke to all of us as one body and voice. "The die has been cast, but the future remains unwritten. Your future lies in your hands. Your decisions and determination will determine how this will play out. Is the mortal world worth saving?" They said together and then disappeared. They did not even wait for answers, and it was a bit weird. They knew how to make a dramatic entrance and exit. I wondered if this was a movie. Honestly, I did not remain in awe of them. I took a fighting stance immediately. "You seem eager to end me, Ellis, very typical of you?" Apophis said, looking at me. "Did you tell your mate about Helio, about your attachment to him?" He asked, and at that moment, I was grateful to Luna for bringing it up when she did. She must have known he would play the card. I looked at her where she lay on the ground, frail, and thanked her. She s
Ellis Trying to keep Luna alive weakened me completely, but I kept at it. I could hear Helio in my head, and I somehow realised it was him. He was breaking a rule. I felt it, I knew he shouldn't be giving me pointers, but he was, and I did not know how that would affect the outcome of this. But it was clear the god of the sun wanted to rise again. He wanted humanity to be safe, and he was willing to cheat for it. I sent a huge amount of magic toward Apophis, but I knew it would not be enough to end him. "Ellis, dont kill him!" I heard Sam's voice, and I looked in the direction of the voice, and I was surprised to see Sam. She was awake. Why the hell would she say that I shouldn't kill him? I got hit by dark smoke in that moment of distraction, and I felt something pierce my thigh. I noticed that Apophis made a spear from his magic and tried to use it to kill me, but Luna had used her energy to shift it a bit. Both Apophis and I had been at it for a while, and I wondered who would
Samantha The instant Luna left me, everything went dark. I opened my eyes to a dark room, and I knew I was not physically there. Had Luna deceived me and sent me into the void? I began to wonder if I had opened up myself to an enemy. According to my memories, she was my sister, and I loved her dearly. My pilgrimage was part of the reasons she had to rely on her mate, Apophis, and he had succeeded in poisoning her mind. The things he said to her before she decided to make that Alpha do stuff to her were cruel. He had said very hurtful words to her. I knew Luna had sent a form of seduction magic to Reed to make him get on his knees and do what she requested as she sent more magic into him he began to like it. What I noticed about the sexual part of everything was that it wasn't the sexual pleasure that made it appealing or addictive, it was the transfer of magic, the feel of it, the euphoric feeling that came with absorbing the magic made it appealing. I was surprised that Apophis would
Ellis We charged into the quarry, moved in, and no one came to arrest us like they did with Luna. I realised they might be all occupied. So I teleported us to the place where Sam and Alex were. Alex and Sam's body lay on the ground. The wolves that were invoved in the orgies came to attack us. Our arrival was sudden for them, so they were not prepared. The mages sent magic their way to destabilise them, and William and Abel attacked with force. I sent my aura into Alex to see what the matter was and realised that Apophis had taken a bit of his life's essence, which meant he would manifest physically. "Be on alert. Apophis might appear as Alex soon or occupy someone else," I linked everyone to warn them, drawing my Katana. I began to cut through the evil wolves. Most of them wielded magic, but we had magic too, so we were fine. All of us but William could wield magic. They began to shift, and the wolves looked misty and black. Their eyes were evil, and I could see into their dark so
Ellis While Sam went in, I used my aura to keep an eye on what was going on. Using the eye of Apophis to see what was happening was very tedious and draining, but it was necessary to know when to get in. Luna had done a good job dulling his senses, so unlike before, he could not sense I was watching. She kept him occupied by occupying her senses. I did not trust her at first, but at the rate she was going, I was more relaxed. Abel was agitated and kept asking if we could go in, but I held him back. Seeing what I saw, the wolves we would be facing would be deadlier than all the wolves we had faced in the past. They had Apophis's magic and could wield it, that was what the orgies were for. They transferred magic between themselves. Apophis had turned them into micro gods, and that alone would make fighting them difficult. He was also generating his essence fast, which was not good so even though he was distributing what he had, he was able to regain it quickly. Faster than me, and I kn
Samantha Apophis ushered me to a large cave that had a throne made of bones and weird-looking people. Some of them were having orgies, and just by looking at them, I knew there were getting high on more than the sexual pleasure. "Magic transfer." Luna said to me, "Apophis' magic is addictive. People are easily drawn to darkness, they sink themselves into it, and they love it. The euphoria that comes with dark magic coursing through your veins is unimaginable. That was how Apophis got me in the first place, and I am still addicted to him. He did not let us taste much of his magic during our session together, so you would not understand what these people are experiencing right now." she said, and I was stunned. I had tasted a bit of it, and I did not want to imagine it in large quantity. I looked around me, and William's parties had nothing on these people. Watching them made me feel weird. They were too busy and formed chains and rows of people giving and receiving pleasure. I had ne
Samantha I tried to control Luna not to piss Ellis off, but she refused to listen. She hated Ellis for reasons best known to her, and I did not want to get into it. We had received two slaps, and Luna hadn't been around long. When I saw William hurting, I regretted having to merge with Luna. She might have been my sister, but she was cruel. She knew how werewolves were with their mates. She knew Alphas did not like to share, and she knew William was the dominant type, and yet, she had to expose Ellis in that way. I knew if Ellis had a choice, she wouldn't have mated with Helio, but we all needed the power of the sun god to expel darkness, and as things were, I sensed Ellis would not be with us for long. As we walked into the quarry, I begged my sister to follow through with the plan and not double-cross us. Love did all types of things to people, and love could make people lose themselves. I knew she was angry at the moment, but when she sees her lover, her heart would melt, and so w
Ellis "It's time to dress up and gear up for the fight. Make sure you bring along your weapons. We won't just be needing magic where we are going," I said, and they nodded. Lifting Sam, I teleported her and Willam to our bedroom. I felt safer with my eyes on her. After the shit that Luna tried to pull by causing discord between William and me, I did not trust her to behave herself or do what was best for us as a collective. "Why is she here?" William asked, pointing at Sam, and I raised an eyebrow at him. "Sam I trust, but Luna, not so much. I just want to keep an eye on them." I said, and Sam began to laugh. I knew it was luna and not Sam because the laugh sounded unnatural. "Hang in there Sammy." I said to her, and I felt her frustration. I knew she was regretting letting Luna in. All that darkness was a lot to take in, and Luna was just as dark as Apophis, She was his mate, after all she was bound to draw on darkness. I knew we could not trust Luna completely because her heart w
