William. Emma was cold towards me the whole drive back to the settlement. She had shed some tears and tried to blackmail me emotionally, but my mind was made up. I instructed the pack members to fix up the guest house that was beside the Alpha quarters. I had bought things for the nursery. The guest house had three rooms. One was going to be for Ellis, the other for the baby and the last one was going to be for Rose and Gretchen, the wolf nanny I had hired. Ellis was thirty-six weeks gone, we were expecting the baby anytime soon. Emma was so angry she refused to let me touch her and Grey refused to let me leave her alone. Emma would cry and beg me to end her life. She tried all sorts of blackmail tactics, but I refused to budge. I didn't like her attitude at all. Ellis had never tried to control me or order me around before. This woman had done more than that. Trying to make me swear by my wolf not to sleep with my wife again. Trying to make me swear by my wolf not to recognise
William. I sat in my office playing with the note Dimitri had left me, I was contemplating whether or not to read it. Then I got a call from one of my servants at the estate. He reported something that annoyed me, and my mood became worse. As things were, I was already in a bad state of mind and I wondered if what the note contained would take me off the bend. So I opened it to read its content. 'Clearsand you overstepped your bounds when you got involved with my business. This is a taste of what is to come. Tell Emma I said hello, and she shouldn't miss me much.' I crumbled the paper in my hand and rushed to my apartment. Emma would explain to me why she was significant enough for Dimitri to mention her in his note to me. Was she involved? Did she betray us? Was that why she hid in the closet? Grey tried to control me and calm me down, but I knew confronting her was necessary. Her jealousy could have made her mad enough to work against me. I slammed the door open and found Emm
Ellis William sounded harsh and indifferent towards me on the phone. Philip told me what happened at the settlement and why he wouldn't be able to visit the next day. I had rushed to the hospital to render some assistance. Doctor Thompson was kind to me at first, but he became rude after speaking to William. I began to suspect that William had given him the go-ahead to disrespect me. I didn't take offence. Kevin drove me back to the estate immediately. When we got there, I found William's driver waiting for me. Rose and I bid everyone farewell and got into the vehicle to head to the settlement. When we got to the settlement about four in the morning. There was no one there to welcome us and I could understand it was because the pack had gone through a traumatising event. We headed straight to the guest house and I went to the master bedroom and slept off. I woke up at ten in the morning. I was hoping to see William but instead, he sent for me to see him in his office. I felt a bit
William. The look on Ellis's face confirmed everything. I was so mad. She refused me only to pick Mirabel. I was so angry when I got the call from one of the servants in the estate who I had stationed to keep an eye on her. He said according to the footage she had asked Mirabel to accompany her to the bathroom. I had guessed the sex part and Ellis had confirmed it. I intended to make her suffer for picking Mirabel over me. I sent for groceries to be delivered to her house and I instructed the pack members not to interact with her. She disgusted me. Patrick rushed to my office. " William, Jasper Wild is here," he said and I told him to let him in. Jasper arrogantly entered my office and made himself comfortable. " To what do I owe this visit?" I asked him and he smiled. " I am still looking for Mr Ross," he said with a big grin. " I have told you this before, I cannot help you with that," I said to him a bit irritated. " I heard you married a human where is she?" He asked and
Ellis I left the hospital alone. A kappa had come to get me and my son in a truck. Waking up in the general ward and seeing how badly the medical staff had treated me, I knew something was off. I returned to the house William allocated to me. Nobody came to greet me and I did not care. The house was stocked with food and everything the baby will need. I also found my vibrator in the drawer of my dresser. My son was really cute I hadn't thought of a name yet but I knew William wouldn't allow me to name him. I was a bit disappointed in Susan. If it were the other way around I would have damned the consequences and gone to see her. She was the one that had created a problem between Patrick and me. I was really angry. I felt abandoned and alone. I felt I was living on borrowed time. William. Ellis's had disgusted me. I was mad at her for what she tried to do. I decided she will have all she needed but I will never speak to her again. A few months passed, there were times I wanted to
William. My father brought my son in the dead of the night. He raised an alarm that Ellis had run away. " When?" I asked him trying to see if we could still catch up to her. I saw my son in his arms and I was overcome with remorse. He was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. He had silver eyes and platinum coloured hair. Why would Ellis abandon him and run away? " She brought Derek to my house in the morning and asked me to watch him. She said she wanted to get some herbs in the forest and she might be late," he explained and I almost punched him. She had no business with herbs. Ellis had a very good head start, knowing how determined she was, it would be difficult to catch her. I was about to head out when Emma held me back. " Let her go, Will. Your son is here. Let her go." Grey was angry for the first time, he compelled me to push her away and I ran to the guest house. I searched through her things and then I found a note she left, addressed to me I opened it to read.
Ellis. I couldn't believe that William will swear by his wolf not to hurt me. When I saw him naked staring at me in the cage, I was scared. I thought he would beat me for running away. To my surprise, he was sad and remorseful. When he kissed me, all the emotions that I had pushed away came tumbling down on me again. As my knees became weak and p**sy became wet, I became scared, my body was betraying me. How could he still have this effect on me? I was completely powerless. When he touched my cl*t, I knew I wouldn't have the willpower to say no. My head warned me but my heart and my body wanted him. I wanted it. I needed it. My whole body was in need. I felt like a fool and tears began to roll down my eyes. How could he have this much power over me? I knew he would do want he wanted and take what he wanted and I wouldn't have the willpower to stop him. When he began to suck my n**ples, I was gone. I didn't want him to stop. I wanted him to suck on them continuously. They were ha
William. Holding Derek in my arms felt amazing. How could I have wanted to throw all this away because of the mate bond? Emma got into my head so much that I began to hate my wife. My wife only slept with Mirabel out of spite. I couldn't believe that I broke all my promises and hurt her gentle soul. I isolated her from her loved ones and didn't defend her. She was left alone to care for herself and her child. I stopped being there for Ellis the moment I found Emma and that was almost two years ago. I had lost two years with Ellis, a year and some months with Derek. It had to take Ellis running away again to make me realise my mistakes. Emma was not a kind soul. If she were, she wouldn't have wrecked my home and kept pushing me. She made me turn my back on my child hoping she could replace him with hers. Thank goddess she never got pregnant. There was a time she insinuated that Derek might not be mine because she feared I could not get her pregnant. That insinuation didn't fly becaus
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
