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
William I held my wife in my arms with my heart aching. Whatever was bothering her must be serious. Ellis had always opened up to me on everything, but even with all the assurance I had given her, she still found it difficult to tell me. The way it seems, whatever the matter was must have to do with either both of us or one of us. If it were something else, she would have told me. I held her in my arms and stroked her hair. I did not want her to feel under pressure to tell me anything. I had planned on making love to her, but as things were, I was content with just holding her and letting her know she wasn't alone. I prayed that Ellis wasn't entering into depression. "Should I have them bring dinner?" I asked her, figuring she might not want to eat with everyone in this state. She nodded in my arms, and I smiled. I linked Rose in the kitchen to bring our dinner to our bedroom. "Rose will send our meal over," I told her, and she looked up and kissed me. Her kiss was deep and passiona
Samantha We returned home feeling refreshed and new. I had slept throughout my journey, and I blamed Ellis and Alex for it. I was exhausted. I heard Michelle make fun of me throughout, and when we finally arrived at our residence in the human town, she kept winking at me. Alex took our bags from the booth while I invited his parents into the house to freshen up before they returned to the settlement. "Sam, do you mind if we spend the night?" Michelle asked, admiring our home, and I looked at Alex. He shrugged, so I smiled at her. "As long as you promise to help with dinner, no problem," I told my mother-in-law, and she smiled at me and whipped out her cell phone. I wondered how that was an answer. The conversation made me realise it. "Hello, May I speak with Chef Tarique, please," she said. That was the chef that worked at our five-star hotel. Luna Michelle was going to cheat with dinner preparations. A five-star meal was better than whatever I could whip up in my kitchen. I smiled
Samantha The Hotel delivered our dinner, and it was delicious. We ate in high spirits, and it was fun eating with Alex's parents in our home. "Ellis, " Phelix started, "When will we be getting Nicole and Nicolas," he asked, and I smiled at him. "I will go get them first thing in the morning. If you can wait long enough, You can take them to the settlement with you, because I will have to drive back with them," I said, and he smiled at me. "It is amazing how you do that transport thing. Will the twins be able to do it on their own when they get their wolves?" Michelle asked me, and I nodded. "I believe my children should be able to do it even though they are half werewolves," I said. "But Alex can't," Michelle pointed out, and I laughed. "Alex is a spirit wolf bond. He is different from the Twins, and besides that, he has a cool ability that spirit wolves don't have," I said and looked at him with a smile. "What is that?" Michelle asked, eager to know. It was clear she loved her
Ellis I was grateful for the intense lovemaking because I slept like a baby after. I woke up in the afternoon, which showed how exhausted I was. William wasn't in the room with me, and I knew he would either be in his home office or at the settlement. I went to get ready for the day. I needed to tell the mages about my discussion with Ephraim. I felt a bit lighter and less saddened, but I knew it was night rest. I showered quickly and went to eat something. I was craving smoked salmon, and I had to have some. I made sandwiches from the several slices of smoked salmon. I ate it all and went to look for the mages. Everything that Ephraim had told me was playing in my head again. I needed them to know and help me figure out what to do. One thing I was sure of was that we needed to find a way to destroy the gem. The fact that Ephraim mentioned Apophis meant that gem had something to do with the darkness. They were not in their bedroom, so I searched for them mentally. It wasn't easy if t
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
