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
William I rushed to the house to see Ellis. She was feeding Derek. I rushed at her and held her tightly. I had sent for Rose and Mirabel. I needed to surround my wife with her true friends. I couldn't believe how stupid I had been. I held her tightly and began to weep. " William is everything Okay?" she asked me with a gentle voice, but I couldn't speak, all I could say was "sorry". " I am sorry Ellis, I am so so sorry. I do not deserve your love." I wept. How could I have been so stupid and blind not to see what was in front of me? I wanted to make love to her, but there was no one to watch Derek. I dried my eyes and sat down while she continued to feed Derek. She hadn't seen my tears, so I pretended to be alright. My father was the first to arrive. I let him watch Derek while I took my wife in to talk. " I was a fool Ellis," I said sitting down on the bed. " What happened, William?" She asked and I looked at her soft gentle eyes that were once vibrant. I had killed the glow i
Ellis Mirabel and Rose arrived and I was so happy to see them. " Ellis, what happened to you? You look terrible?" Mirabel asked, but I just smiled. " Glad to see you little one," Rose said hugging me, then she checked me and frowned, " I need to get some food into you. You are all skin and bones." She said and we began to laugh. Mirabel and Rose made themselves comfortable in the third room. I couldn't believe that William will break the law to have Mirabel here. While we sat in the living area to catch up, I asked Mirabel if William had disciplined her. " Did he discipline you?" I asked her and she frowned, confused about my question. As the realisation dawned on her, her eyes widened and she shook her head. " My goddess, Ellis. Is that why he did all he did to you?" She asked and I nodded. Mirabel was heartbroken and I couldn't blame her for the anger that showed in her eyes. William came to check on me and his countenance changed when he saw Mirabel. The man was just too da
William What Ellis had disclosed to me made a lot of sense. Samuel had deliberately sold Ellis to me because he knew no one would come to search for her in my pack. It was a very smart move. I was almost stupid enough to drive Ellis away. All these while I wondered what Jasper was looking for, I had it all along. I remembered how Ellis had wielded that Katana, I knew her skill, strength and precision was not ordinary. Who would have guessed her to be a mage and also possess the essence of a god? She was human quite alright, but she was a special human. That was why Grey was able to bond with her. That was why she affected everyone. That was why she had a stronghold on me from the moment I saw her. It also explains why Derek was a full-fledged spirit wolf. Only a Spirit wolf and a god could birth a Spirit wolf. If Ellis was a demi-god then I had to take care of her. I needed to make sure no one finds her or lay their hands on her. I needed to protect her. I rushed to my apartment to
Ellis Three days later... Melena and Audrey were being unbelievable. They wanted me to master a lot of art and techniques within a short period. First of all, most of the words were difficult and impossible for me to pronounce, secondly, I hadn't succeeded in any and it didn't seem like I would anytime soon. Gradually they were concluding that I had no magic. " I don't think you can wield magic like us Ellis," Melena confessed out of frustration. The look on her face said it all. " Your blood is vital, but yet, you are just human, in a very ordinary way," Audrey said, trying to diagnose the situation. She too looked frustrated, although she tried to hide it better than Melena. It was obvious that the women did not want to offend me. " What is wrong with being only human?" I finally asked, irritated by their conclusions and I didn't hide my irritation at all. " How will you defend yourself from those that want your blood and essence?" Melena asked, trying to point out the issue a
William. I lead the warrior wolves with Philip to the Black moon pack. Apart from the culprits being my former mate and her father, It was my duty to come to the aid of lesser packs in my territory. We got to the Black Moon pack in the night. Alpha Cain was surprised to see us. " Why have you come, Clearsand?" He asked with a very defensive tone and it made me wonder why he was being hostile. " We learned your pack will soon be under attack because you chose not to honour a deal," I explained to him and he relaxed a bit. I noticed that they were geared up for an attack. Most of the pack members were not there. " Your mate set us all up." He said, ready to explain the situation to me. " The vampires came for us at night. They had too much information, which helped them defeat us. At first, I thought it was an inside job, but when I saw her, I figured what happened." He said offering me a drink and a seat. Cain took a deep breath before speaking. " I wanted to warn you when I s
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
