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 As soon as William left, I had Emma and her father transferred to the deepest cells on the settlement. Only a few members knew where we put them. I asked eight Kappas to beat them up with a silver whip. Two of them were reluctant at first, but when I threatened to require their lives they complied. I let them know that if they did not do their job, I will assume they were in cohorts with the traitors. It didn't take too much to get them to do their jobs. I followed to supervise the first part of the treatment. Emma did not look happy to see me. " Miss me?" I asked her with a grin on my face. " I bet no one told you you would be in this situation," I stated. I put on a silver gauntlet and slapped her hard across her face. The print burned through her skin. " You will regret this. I am sure William doesn't know about this." She cried and I began to laugh. " Even if he did, he wouldn't stop me," I assured her. I used my finger to lift her chin so I could see he eyes. She scr
Ellis. We stepped out to see a blood bath between vampires and werewolves. Unfortunately for the vampires, we were prepared. The vampires came in multitudes, They were well over a hundred, As they fought they requested us to hand over Emma and her father. So this was the plan all along. To get William and most of the warrior wolves away from the settlement so they could massacre us and rescue the traitors. Well, they must have miscalculated their odds because I was here. Angry frustrated and ready to kill. I charged into the fight. I saw Melena and Audrey shoot lightning from their fingers, frying the vampires it came in contact with. This was going to be fun. The moment I wrapped my hands around my katana, I felt my strength amplify. I was in the killing zone. I sliced off the head of the first vampire I could see. I always went for their heads, instant death was guaranteed that way. I looked out for pack members that were Emma's loyalists and went for them too. They weren't up to
William I woke up to find myself bound with silver chains. It burnt a bit but not as much as it would burn a normal werewolf, thank goddess for my spirit wolf genes. I looked around searching for Philip and Cain. When I saw them I relaxed a bit. Philip and Cain were yet to come through, and I doubted if they would because of the silver poisoning that was taking place. I remembered what the hunter that blew himself up said and I began to fear for my wife, my son and my pack. I knew if I struggled with the chains it would alert the hunters that were present. So I pretend to still be unconscious while I fiddled with the locks. We were still at the black moon pack. The hunters stood around with their weapons. I listened to the one that seemed to be in charge. " These wolves are on some kind of drug. The wolfsbane did not affect them, neither did the silver bullets. We might have to behead them as our last resort." He said. " I don't think that will be wise, sir. We can't behead Clear
William The pack cheered upon our arrival. I was glad to see most of them intact. I wondered why there were no children and elderly pack members around. I linked Patrick to find out the reason. " Where are the children and the old members?" I asked, afraid they had been killed in the sudden attack because they were the weakest of our pack. " Luna Ellis had me evacuate them before sundown yesterday. They are safe in our bunkers. Will order them to join their families soon." He replied and I turned to look at my wife. She was smiling and waving at pack members. It was amazing how this human could protect us more than we could ourselves. I remembered how I almost betrayed her and tears began to roll down my cheeks. She had almost walked away. The only thing that kept her with me all that time was the knowledge that our son wouldn't be safe out there because her life was in danger. How could I have stupidly chosen another over her? Ellis was stubborn quite alright, and she never confo
Ellis. William and I slept the whole day. The situation had calmed down a bit and we weren't expecting new attacks. I was very mad at Silverspear and his bitch of a daughter for wanting to destroy our pack. I was going to teach them a lesson, but I kept it from my husband. " Did you find out why Cain didn't honour his deal?" I finally asked William while we ate dinner on the small dining table at the guest house. The mages were at it in their room. I had sent a driver to bring Derek back along with his grandfather, Rose and Mirabel. It took a lot of convincing and promising not to sleep with Mirabel, to make William agree to let her return to the settlement. I wondered what he would do if he found out the mages wanted an orgy, something I would like William and me to try just for the visuals and nothing more. He placed his cutlery on his plate and sighed. " You wouldn't believe what I learned." He started and I nodded for him to tell me. " There was no deal. It was a ploy to
Ellis I woke up giddy the next day. William had told the driver to return without Derek and his father. He felt they were safer at the estate than at the settlement. We wanted to see how things play out before we brought them. William left to attend to pack matters in his office. He requested that Patrick and I should question the vampire that surrendered for vital information. Patrick came to meet me at my house. He was accompanied by Susan. The sight of her disgusted me. I could tell that my stare made her uncomfortable. " Luna Ellis, please hear her out," Patrick pleaded for her sake. " I have work to do, Beta Gibson, I do not have time for this," I responded a bit disgusted by the two of them. " Please Luna, hear her out" he pleaded. " Like you heard me out when I tried to explain to you?" I asked and he bowed his head in shame. " You drew the line between us Beta and you acted it out. You worked with a traitor to ruin my marriage. Both of you were supposed to be my frien
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
