Please bear with the chapter release. I want the story to be good and not sound rushed so I am writing it gradually. Thank you for supporting me and keeping my dream alive. Much love.
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
Samantha I woke up late in the morning feeling exhausted and tired. I remembered what happened to me in bed, and it made me afraid. I had never experienced that kind of darkness and pressure before in my life. Whatever happened was unusual, and I hoped it never happened again. I looked at the window and saw that the sun was very much in the sky. I knew it was somehow close to the afternoon, getting the twins here would be impossible if I had to go myself, so I reached for my cell phone and called my mother. We had done some improvements to our settlement, so we had a cell network there now. I requested my mother send the twins over, and she promised she would do so as soon as possible. I hung up and was about to get off the bed when Alex entered with a breakfast tray smiling. "I felt you wake up," he said, kissing me and placing the tray on the bed so I could see what he brought. The spread was definitely not his making. Other than sandwiches, which he made for the twins often. "My
Ellis I returned to my room after spending time with the mages in the gazebo. Our discussion left me unsettled, and I was anxious. We had limited or no options to defend ourselves, and I knew time was of the essence, and we were running out. I sat on the couch watching the television in our bedroom. I wanted to clear my mind a bit so I could think straight. One thing was unavoidable. I had to tell my husband what was going on. There was a soap I enjoyed watching, and this was the time it came up. While it played, I could not follow the story because I was worried. We had no plan and no solution. I hated being in these situations where I did not have the upper hand. I hated being unprepared, and whatever was coming, even though I was aware of it, I might not be prepared for it. I sat on the couch looking at the screen but not paying attention. Someone covered my eyes from behind, and with the tiny fingers, I knew who it was. I grabbed the hands and kissed them. "Join mommy on the cou
EllisI took a deep breath, gauging the situation. I honestly did not know where to start from, and William knew. He leaned close to me and kissed me passionately."You can tell me anything, Darling. I promise I won't be mad," he repeated, and I nodded and opened my mouth to speak. I did not feel comfortable speaking while sitting, so I stood up and began to pace back and forth in the parlour of our bedroom. William looked at me with a straight expression on his face, and I smiled at him nervously."I have been having nightmares for six months now. I thought they were just nightmares, and it would pass eventually. That was why I did not tell you. Soon they became more frequent and robbed me of my sleep. I would stay awake most of the night, afraid to close my eyes and be drawn back in. S
