Brielle's POVWhat I came for to this place, I could not archive. I had promised myself that I would not see my father again but that proves to be difficult. I can't forgive him for what he did. I won't be able to, for a long time but no matter how hard I try, I cant harden my heart enough to completely hate him. He is my father and that can't ever change and sometimes, I feel tempted to let go of my pain and let him in again. Everytime I try to, everything comes back to me reminding me of the pain, anger and betrayal. I couldn't even sleep last night. Everything was keeping me up.This morning, Blake and I left. After the conversation my father and I had, I couldn't look him in the eye anymore. Somehow, I couldn't help but feel guilty. I hate this feeling. We left the house and I didn't even say goodbye. Something didn't feel right. I felt like telling Blake to turn back the car so I could do what I couldn't. In the end, I suppressed the feeling.The ride was quiet. I was thinking ab
Brielle's POVTime went by quickly. Too quickly for anyone's liking. It's been two months and still no lead on Sandra. It honestly pisses me off how good she is at hiding. That assured me that she definitely wasn't alone. She had people backing her up. All in all, I couldn't dwell on that misfortune. Everything was not all bad. During the last 2 months, I got to meet Kyle and his mate, Morgan. I was glad to finally meet them. I was surprised to see that Morgan was heavily pregnant. I was happy for Kyle and her.It's safe to say, I found a friend in Morgan. She and i are different in so many ways and she is older than me but we immediately clicked. My first female friend. We are inseparable. Every chance I got, I make sure to visit her. A few weeks ago, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. It was such a joyous and blessed occasion. I was there. The whole thing reminded me of my own pregnancy.Those are memories of my past life, I wish I could forget them because they are painful. W
Blake's POVEverything was perfect. It was going Just how Maya and I planned it. My future mother in law made this night possible and she is not here to see her work. Nonetheless, I kept true to my promise and took pictures and videos. A year ago, a lot of things were different. I ceternaily didn't forsee myself here. But I can that I am glad that I am with Brielle. I love her so much and I hope she knows it.The limo stopped in front of the school entrance. I got out and went to the other side to let her out. Both of us stood in front of the school and the driver headed out to the parking lot. I offered Brielle my arm and she too it.I could feel her nerves. And she had goosebumps on her arms. It's a little but windy. I stood behind her and put my arms around her." Are you okay? We can go back if that's what you-"" No!" she shakes her head adamantly." I just need a minute. I'll be fine. I want to do this. I can't come all this way to leave."I smiled. I mean although I would want
Brielle's POVTonight wasnt so bad after all. Dancing with Blake was so fun. I am glad I came. At leary I got to enjoy prom. I left Blake back in the hall to go to the bathroom. I went into the cubicle and did my business. While in there I heard some girls giggling to themselves in a next cubicle." Did you see Blake? Omg! he looked so handsome. It's been a whole since he's graced the school with his presence. It's such a she that he is always taken. We totally stand no chance."I heard one of them say sounding bummed out." Oh please. No matter how handsome he is, boys will always be boys. He was with Rea for some time and we though they were end game but some girl got between them. I don't know what she did but I'm sure anyone can do it."" Yeah, you are right. And that bitch isn't even beautiful. I mean have you seen her. She doesn't even put effort in how she looks or what she wears. I don't know what Blake sees in her. I mean, compared to her, Rea was way hotter. He'll soon reali
Julian's POVIt happened again. I coughed up blood again. I stared at my blood stained hands in fear. I don't know what is happening to me. I don't understand but something is really wrong with me. I opened the tap and washed away the blood. It happened over a month ago. I though I got hurt somehow but it's not it. Something is happening and j don't know what it is.I showered and got ready. The situation is getting worse. I think Xavier has changed. He has lost his edge and I fear that it is going to ruin everything. I knew that this would happen but I thought he would get over it. He has let that woman get to his head. He can't think about anything but her. I don't know what is his obsession with her.All he should think about is his hatred for her but I think he wants to go easy on her. He isnt doing anything about her. We'll I'm not like him. Unlike him, I hate her and have no attachment to her. I have always hated her and now more than ever, I want to see her distroyed. I will ma
Brielle's POVBlake and I spent the whole weekend in his room doing nothing but having sex. It was like we were on our honeymoon phase. Blake would sneak out ot get food and snacks for us to fuel up. I was having the most fun after prom. I didn't want this to end but unfortunately, we couldn't stay couped up in his room forever. Good things come to an end.After a weekend of fun, I was doing a walk or shame. I tried to sneak out of the house without anyone seeing because I know that they know what we have been up to and it would be embarrassing to face them. Unfortunately, that totally didnt go my way. Morgan caught me." Well, well, we'll. If it isn't the Luna herself. To what what do I owe this place of being graced by your presence?"She was sitting on the patio having tea and biscuits." Oh, you are here."God, this is so embarrassing but I am grateful that it's her and not Blake's parents. That would be mortifying. And it's best not to think about that right now. I left Blake sti
Blake's POVIt was the weekend and somehow Brielle and I got roped into staying with Romi. Kyle and Morgan needed a little break so they were going out for movies and whatever. And we got stuck babysitting. I was coerced into this but Brielle was excited about it. Right now, she ue playing with Romi and making funny faces at her. They both were having a blast and I was forgotten. It's been an hour since Kyle abs Morgan left. They won't be back anytime soon.I sighed and laid on the bed looking at the ceiling. There was something importi9ant I had to tell Brielle. I have been putting it off for a while because I was waiting for her to graduate but it seems that we are pressed for time. I didn't want to bring it up like this but I have to.While I was still thinking, a weight was put on my chest. Little Romi was on my chest. I was taken abeck for a moment. I didn't move an inch. To tell the truth, I have never carried Romi. I was content with looking at her. I don't know, I have never c
Brielle's POVI was yawning none stop. I couldn't sleep at all. Neither did Blake. We spent the night trying to her Romi to sleep but we failed. She cried through out the night. Blake and I had to take turns trying to pacify her. When she finally settled, we placed her between us to sleep. It was a rough night and then I realise what Morgan was complaining about. Jeez, her wailing was no joke. I thought that it was going to be easy but boy was I wrong.Anyway, Romi is back with her parents. They came back in the early hours of the morning but waited on us to wake up before coming to get Romi. Blake and I just slept in until noon to regain our strength back.Now I was sitting on the couch in our room watching videos on my phone. Blake came in and sat beside me. He was quiet for a while and it seemed like something was bothering him. I turned off my phone and turned to him." Hey, what are you thinking about?"He snapped out of it." Me? Oh, I wasn't thinking about anything. Don't worry
Brielle's POV5 years later"Yay! Mommy I did it, I did it!" River jumped up and down in joy after scoring a goal. Blake ran towards him and picked him up and placed him on his shoulder and spun him around." Good shot my boy! You are a super star!" Blake said to river.Mia got on her feet as well. She pulled me and said, " Mommy, I want to kick the ball too. I can do it too."I smiled at her knowing where this was going. Typical little Mia. Ever since she was born, she seemed to be on her own path. She didn't want to be her brother's little sister. She wanted to be older and better than him. Her competitiveness was cute but a little concerning at time.I remember one time she and River were climbing a tree in the garden. They were competing on who could go higher than the other. Of course River was going to win. She did something surprising. She pulled River's leg and he lost his balance and fell off the tree, breaking his arm.I was so shocked that day I didn't know what to do. She
5 months laterBrielle's POVI didn't know that pregnancy would be such a pain. Mood swings, swollen feet, cravings, back pain, you name it. I never thought one of those pregnant ladies who got emotional over every little thing or get weird cravings but guess what, I am. The other day, I wanted a raw mango. Later it was mint chocolate. I hate mint. It tastes like fucking toothpaste but now that I craved it, I suddenly couldn't get enough of it.My feet got swollen a lot and Blake loved giving me a massage. When I cried and cursed him out for getting pregnant, he never lost his patience with me. Instead, he gathered me in his arms as best as he could and would let me chew him out but in the end, he would whisper sweet nothings into my ear, telling how beautiful I am and how lucky he was to have me. That made me feel a lot better. The garden was my favourite place these days. Just sitting on a rocking chair under the tree watching other little kids running around carefree made my heart
Blake's POVIt's been an hour since I came down as my mother requested. I was sitting amongst everyone but my mind was back with Brielle. Each moment spent away from her, I he'd back from running back to her. I was so lost, everything happening in front of me was a blur. I couldn't be there anymore. I was too restless and it wasn't helping. VI excused myself and made my way upstairs. Opening the door to my room I thought I would find Brielle still laying on the bed but she was no where. I went inside in alarm. Where is she? I looked around the room wandering if she had finally regained consciousness. If she did, where is she? Where did she go without anyone noticing? In what condition is she in?I was about to go search for outside but I heard water running in bathroom. I looked in the direction of the bathroom. She must be in there. I went there and went inside. She had her back facing me. I felt all kinds of emotions flowing through me as I thought my eyes were deceiving me. Not un
Brielle's POV" Relax. I'm not here for that."No soul? Then what? What would a demon be doing here if not to come and collect what he is owed? That is not really what concerns me at the moment. I want to survive. I can't leave yet." What do you want. Tell me!" I acted tough. I can't show that I am scared." Must you always think the worst of me? I came all the way here to help you," he said to me sounding a little offended.I couldn't make out whether he was serious or just pulling my leg for fun. Right now, I am desperate and I am afraid that what ever dispicable schemes that Kael came with, I might just fall for. But at this point, what could be worse than promising him my soul?I decided to hear him out. It's not like I have any other choice anyway." Fine. I'll listen to what you have to say. I warn you that I am not in a tolerant mood so this better be worth it."He snickered." I might be a demon from he but I'm not as bad as you think. No matter. We will have all the time in
2 weeks laterBlake's POVI was sitting beside Brielle as she slept peacefully. It's been a very rough fortnight. Ever since that night, everything has been bleak. As the days go by without any change from her I get scared. The baby is fine but Brielle won't wake up. I am afraid that she might stay in such a state for a long time. What of our child. She might not get to see the baby be born. I was at a dead end in what to do. I blame myself. I should have tried with my all to stop her from performing that darned ceremony. It almost cost her life.For all those days, I refused to leave her side. Anything could happen and I don't want to be away. I stayed in the room all day and had my meals sent here. I made sure that it doesn't get suffocating. I opened the windows during the day and let fresh air come in during the day, I handle everything she needed and I wasn't comfortable with letting other people do it.I always made sure to talk to her hoping that she can hear me and hang on to
Brielle's POVIt was now the moment we have been waiting for. This part of the ritual had to be done by me. Now that we have acquired the hell fire, it was time I do what I was meant to do so we can finally part ways with Julian and Xavier." Deceiving us was wrong, Kyra but I'll consider that you ultimately helped us in the end. Let us complete the final step and then all of us will then go our sepernt ways."" Thank you for understanding. I will find a way in the future to repay you."We went to another room with Julian and Xavier with us.I had the flame with me and it's still surreal that I went through such lengths to get it. I wasn't going to complain. My soul doesn't matter if it means that I get to keep my family safe and ensures that we do not suffer the same tragedy all of over again. No matter how had I tried, I couldn't bring myself to have faith in their word. It was my mistake back then. This is just Rte price to fix it." Alright. What do I need to do to get get this ov
Blake's POVI've been playing along with what Kyra said for long enough. Now that this demon has been summoned, I'm not going to let my guard down or stay back. My duty here is to protect Brielle until everything is over. And that Kyra, she completely deceived us. She never mentioned that she knew this Kael demon. Why would she do that? Something about this just doesn't feel right." Whats the price for the flame?" Brielle asked. I still didn't let her come in front. Whatever happens, I will stand in front her like a shield. It's a good thing she wasn't protesting." Mmh, nothing much. I just need a soul. One should for this exchange," Kael said nonchalantly like what he wants was a piece of cake." Any soul?" Brielle askedI turned to look at her. Her expression was cold as she looked at Kael." No, not just any soul. I've been surrounded by rotten souls for such a long time. This time, I want a pure soul.. If you can manage that, then we have a deal."Something with the way he was l
Brielle's POVThings were proceeding as planned. It's been four days since we visited Kyra. Tonight was the night we perform the summoning ceremony. As for Xavier and Julian, Blake has already dealt with them and they understand everything about the ceremony. We informed everyone as well and they were worried but supportive as well.I blame myself for everything that is going on. If I just did not put that spell on them, they might have not been in our lives right now. If only I could turn back time. I would be able to set a lot things right. But enough about that. I can't do anything about that but I can so something right now. I should get ready. It's going to be a difficult night.I was in the room when I heard someone knock on the door." Come in," I saidMorgan came inside the room. She looked worried. She's been trying to stop me from going. I understand that age is concerned but I can't stop now." I'm just here to wish you luck before you. I would hate for you to leave without
Brielle's POVI was nervous the whole time but I glad I was with Blake. What Kyra was saying made a lot of sense. Although I never read too much into it, I know that no living ham can acquire hellfire. I was just hoping there would be an easy way out of this mess.I was a witch but I must admit that I never got to fully develop. I was a novice witch. I can't say I wish I stayed at the coven with my mother bacause then my life would have been miserable. I lived her but she was a control freak. She wanted to keep me sheltered and away from the world. I felt like a bird in a cage. I wanted to go out and experience the world, live amongst the people and be a part of the bigger world.I get that sh wanted to protect us but I didn't want to live in darkness without ever experiencing the beauty of the world and life. In any case, it's all in the past. What's done is done. Even so, I hope to become a better mom to my child. I hope I can do it.Blake looks at me when Kyra mentioned a demon pac
