Ellis I was worried as hell. It had been two days since William had been trapped in his sleep. None of us knew what to do. After I told him what happened, we stayed up all night, and everything felt right. He was planning a getaway trip for us. I was so excited about planning it that I woke up in the morning energised. I did not have a nightmare, and it felt great. At first, I thought he was tired and needed to rest, but when it was noon and he didn't wake up, I became worried. I tried to wake him up, but he did not move, he didn't budge, and that was when the alarm bells went off in my head. I linked the mages to join me immediately. Melena and Audrey were worried because of my tone. When they arrived in my bedroom, they realised why I was in distress. Now it had been over twenty-four hours, and he was yet to wake up. I sat by the bed crying. Audrey came to hold me, but I did not want her to hold me. I did not want anyone to hold me. I wanted William to hold me. I wanted him to wake
William The creepy goddess had succeeded and scared the hell out of me. I was powerless. My wolf was silent, and it seemed Samantha and I had no hope. The woman laughed most of the time and kissed me a couple of times which disgusted me. "Your body is just perfect for Apophis. I can't wait for him to devour me in that hot sexy body," She said, and I wanted to puke. "You are mad," I told her, and she frowned at me. "Sam is literally my distant cousin. You want Apophis to screw you, which means my body will be screwing hers. Do you know how sick that is?" I said, and she frowned at me. "There is nothing wrong with that. I am sure the four of us, Or will I say six of us, including your wolves, would love it," she said, and all I could see was the madness in her eyes. Something felt wrong about the entire setting. For someone that had something sinister planned out, she seemed too chatty. She should be carrying out her plans of taking over our souls and body right now instead of maki
William I felt a bit disoriented when I woke up, and it was mainly because my body had been asleep for two days. After drinking some water, Ellis brought me soup, and I gladly ate it. We had been through a huge ordeal, and no one except us and maybe the Wildbreeds knew. After eating the soup, I placed a call to Alex. It took a while before he answered. I just needed to be sure Samantha was okay. "Hello," Alex said. "How is Sam?" I asked him, going straight to the point, and he sighed. "Thank you, William. I am grateful for what you did for my mate. She was asleep for two days. She told me Ellis was the one that got her out." he said, confirming what happened. "How is she?" I asked again because he hadn't answered my question Yet. "She is fine. Just bathed her and my mother had the hotel bring food," he said, and I relaxed. "If you do not mind, Sam and I would like to visit you and stay for a while because of the new development," he said, and I did not know how to feel about it.
Samantha I woke up shaken and afraid. Alex had lost it, and I heard he almost killed the Shaman that came to help. My mother did not know what to do either. Dinah wasn't available, so she too was handicapped in that situation. They had all given up completely, except for Alex who they said kept talking to me and begging me to wake up. I did not want to hurt his feelings, so I did not tell him that I did not hear his voice in the void. When I woke up and found out there was no black sky and the Eclipse was yet to come, I felt cheated. Everything I had witnessed felt real. I was angry, and I hated the fake moon goddess for what she did. I knew deep down that that slithering bitch was not the goddess but kept it to myself. I thought I was doomed until I saw William. The sight of William gave me hope. I knew that his wife was a Demi-god, and if the rumours about them were true, then they would figure a way out. I had begun to doubt my resolve after talking to him and realising we were in
Alex Sam and I packed up our bags the next day. As much as we wanted to take the twins with us, we knew it would be dangerous. We weren't going there for holiday. We were only going there to contain a problem. I hoped this was the right move. After everything that Sam had told me, I hoped this was the right move. I wondered who this corrupt moon goddess was. Even though, Sam insisted she was a counterfeit, I wasn't quick to dismiss the idea that she might be the real deal or a different side of the moon goddess we know. The fact that remains is that none of us had ever met the goddess we prayed to. The one we called mother. We had only read accounts written by other people who might have also been told and only recorded what they were told by others. What if that was the moon goddess, and that was who she was. There were myths of her spreading madness during a full moon. Sam had said she was mad, and she did refer to herself as Luna. Dismissing the fact that she might be the real deal
Ellis The day of the solar eclipse was finally upon us. I was nervous as hell. I was yet to get over the incident, and I doubted if I would any time soon. William seemed alright apart from the fact that he easily got tired. It wasn't up to twenty-four hours since he woke up, so I saw it as an aftereffect of Luna's soul trap, and I hoped it would wear off soon. After spending time with Derek, I left him with his grandfathers and returned to our room to check on William. He wasn't sleeping, I found him pacing about the room with the television on. " Why are you pacing about?" I asked him, and he looked at me and smiled. " Been asleep for two days which isn't healthy. See it more like a mild workout since I am still too tired physically to do the actual exercise," he said, and I laughed at him. I picked up the remote and turned off the mute on the television. There was live footage of people setting up outside their homes to prepare for the eclipse. According to Johannes, it might las
Ellis The gazebo was nicely decorated with food and drinks, and cushions. There was a big were carpet on the floor of the gazebo. The cushions were placed on the carpet so we could sit closely together. There was also the same arrangement on the carpet grass outside the gazebo for us to sit during the solar eclipse. William had them install a television at the gazebo. I knew it was for my benefit. If anything was going to go wrong, it would be on the news. It was thirty minutes to the Eclipse. Everyone was with us, and we waited. To my surprise, I saw a staff ushering Alex and Sam to the gazebo. Sam looked tired, and Alex looked happy. William and I got up to hug and greet them. The solar eclipse was showing signs already. " How did you get here so fast?" I asked Sam, and she yawned. " We left early, and Alex asked the driver to step on the gas." She explained to me. We all laughed at the eagerness to get to our estate. The deep sleep must have spooked Alex. It did the same to me e
Ellis. We arrived at the mage's room. Sam lay on the bed, and William laid on the couch. I was scared and worried. Worried that I will fail them and allow Luna and Apophis to win. Alex went to where Sam lay and broke down completely. His fear and despair were overwhelming. I could not help ease his pain because I too was in pain. Knowing it would be up to me to solve this matter made me feel hopeless. Knowing no one could come to our aid made the pressure worse. I looked at Melena and Audrey, and they were as white as sheet. The fear that emanated from them was real. It also somehow destabilised me. The only time I saw them like this was when Nifrem possessed me, and they trapped me in the red room to try to get him out. They were very scared that evening, and right now, they had that look on their faces. "What is the matter?" I asked Melena, bracing myself for the worse. I looked at Alex, and he was just begging Sam to wake up. That was all one could do when helpless, but with what
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
