Selene's Pov.

“Selene!!!” Ansari's voice echoed through the room.

I rose to my feet, my heart beating as fast as was biologically possible. Goddess help me, what was I going to say?

I could feel the eyes of the crowd on my back. The urge to turn was almost irresistible but the Ansari woman held me with her gaze.

She was a striking-looking woman, especially for someone her age. Her silver hair shone on her head like a magnificent crown, her eyes green embers of wildfire. Her skin was still surprisingly taunt and she was the prettiest person there.

But her looks were secondary to me, I could feel her boring into me, searching through my soul in a way that reminded me of the succubus.

I turned my eyes away.

“Selene you were attacked in the woods by a creature. Please tell this council everything that had happened.” Ansari said.

I had no idea where to begin. Asking this of me so soon after the ordeal was … I did not have the words to describe it, but I knew I hated it.

    Selene's pov.“What are you talking about?” I whispered confused. “You are a hybrid, you are a stranger. You are an abomination!!” The ancient one said pointing at me. She rose to her feet, her veins standing on end and her eyes as red as blood.“These are serious words you speak, Miranda,” Ansari said quietly. She looked at her with a serious look on her face.It was a serious matter. How dare her. How dare she talk to me that way.“She is not one of us,” Miranda said. Her entire body was shocked In apprehension. She turned sharply to me.“All these things, all these problems. It is all because of you.” She pointed at me once again with her bony finger.“No!” A voice said. I turned around to see my father rushing to the front of the room.“Do not attack my daughter.”“Gabriel,” Mira called worriedly.“You dare disrupt this meeting,” Miranda yelled at my father. “You dare talk in front of me, after the monster you brought here.”Gabriel's body shook violently. “You say one more word

    Ansari's pov.I walked outside into the cold damp night. It must have been raining while we were inside, everything was covered in a wet film of liquid with little pools of water on the ground.It was always on nights like this, nights the moon should give guidance that I felt the most lonely.The decisions I have been forced to make over the years have never been easy but tonight's decision … I sighed and raised my head to the moon.It was a beautiful full moon, one that should mean so much to my people.But it didn't.If it had been in the old days, everyone would be outside in its light, dwelling in her love and protection.“What am I to do?” I asked. I wanted a sign from the goddess badly. I was now an old woman. Being in charge of this place, of this people was becoming too much for me. But a leader serves until she is beaten or killed. “Help me.” I pleaded. The only response I got was another gust of wind. My coat flapped under its influence and I pushed it down angrily. I sigh

    Magnus's pov.“Magnus?” A familiar voice called. I opened my eyes slowly and tried to process my surroundings. “Magnus, brother it's me.” A hand landed on my shoulder. The voice sounded familiar I turned my eyes to the face in front of me.A young handsome Asian face, blue eyes, and extremely thin lips. The lips stretched in a smile.“There we go.” He chuckled lightly revealing extremely white teeth.“Darius?” I asked. He smiled again and my heart leaped instantly.“Darius you're back.” My arms flew forward as I hurried to embrace him. I grabbed him so hard that he groaned out in pain.“Easy brother, easy!!!” He groaned. I released, my pain was still there, and looked at him with happy eyes.“When did you return?” I asked eagerly. Darius had left home for college four years ago. It had been so long, too long to have been away from your best friend.“This morning, Got into town to find it so quiet. It's always quiet but quieter than usual.” He chuckled.“Yeah, things have been rough

    Darius's pov.I turned off my phone and looked up at the road in front of me. So that was the girl? That was Selene.I had never had a girlfriend before, I was always too shy to approach anyone, but this girl, this chick was something else. Where do you even get eyes like that from?A sigh left my lips, fucking hell I was tired. I looked at the town around me. It had not changed that much since I left. The same people, the same houses, and I was dead certain they all still had the same ideology.They tried to act the same way in situations that needed to be solved with modern ideologies.A group of kids were playing soccer on a field, and one of them looked up and saw me.He smiled and waved at me. I smiled and waved back.At least they were not so shy anymore, that was a good thing.“Hey!!” A feminine voice called. I turned around to see a slim figure running towards me. It was Selene. My heart skipped a beat within me. She was a different specimen. My God!“Hey.” She panted and res

    Selene's pov. I turned a corner and I was soon back at the council hall. The hall was still fucking quiet and I was beginning to feel the tension.The guards would be here any second. I looked at the door, the sounds of approaching guards unnerved me. I ran to the door and pushed, it was rigid in its post.Fucking locked.Where's Darius? I ran my hand through my hair nervously. I was cooked. “Pssst.” A voice came from behind me. I turned around to find the owner of the disembodied voice but all I could see were bushes rustling. “Psst. Selene, Selene!” The voice said once again. I turned to the bushes and saw a hand beckoning to me.“Darius?” I whispered. His face shoot out of the bushes, “Come here.” He whispered back.The sound of approaching guards was getting unbearably closer and so I bolted into the bushes. A hand shot out and dragged me to the ground. I was about to groan out in pain but a palm covered my lips. “Shhhhh.” Daruis's voice whispered. The guards were back and th

    Selene's povGuards stood in front of us, staring at our almost naked bodies. “What are you kids doing?” One of them asked. I looked at Darius who quickly blurted out “Drugs.” I had not expected that, was drugs all he could come up with? “Drugs?” One of the guards asked confused. Darius nodded his head vigorously, one would believe he was owning up to something good. “Yes drugs, we were doing weed.” He turned to me, “Right Selene?” He asked. I wanted to wack him hard across the face. There was no way I was saying that and hence an awkward silence followed. Darius began to feel uneasy and cleared his throat. “Right Selene?” He asked again looking at me before turning to the guard.Fuck he was going to make me say it. The Guards were beginning to lose their patience and that would mean them walking into the house. There was no other way around it. I shut my eyes tight and affirmed his words. “Yes, we were doing marijuana.” I was going to kill him afterward.Darius was so r

    Selene's pov.It has not always been easy, I have had to do a lot of jobs, and a lot of menial work just to get what the other kids could easily afford. My mother's health did not make things much better and I had to do the best for the both of us, but it never bothered me one bit. But I never complained, I never felt like I was missing out, and all I ever did was love those around me.So why me? Why was the world so ready to destroy me?To hate me.“It's empty,” I said. “It's all empty.”“This doesn't make sense,” Darius muttered.“Where's the prophecy?” I asked Darius. He was busy staring at a blank page of paper. Panic was beginning to set into my mind and I could not deal with him panicking first.I grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him “Daruis!! Why are they empty?”He turned to me with confused eyes. “ I don't- I don't know.” He scratched his head and returned to study the blank pages. What the hell did he mean by that? He picked the book, he had to know.“Did you maybe

I turned to Gabriel anxiously. “Gabriel we have to ditch the car!”He shook his head stubbornly. “No don't worry about that, she's only sleepy.” He said and patted the dash, “Right baby?” His words were beginning to annoy me, I turned to the windshield, and my breath got stuck in my throat. The swarm of wolves coming our way would be here any second. Fuck, Ansari must have brought out every single wolf she had for four people. “Gabriel we need to leave.” I pleaded. He paid no heed to me and tore out the wires and began to hot wire the jeep.“Dad…” Selene called. “Shouldn't we just leave the car?” Darius asked and I turned to him at the same time as Gabriel. “SHUT UP!!”Darius sank back into his seat and kept quiet. The engine coughed and shaked, and then coughed again for a longer time before maintaining a steady hum. “Yes!!!” Gabriel roared happily and turned to me with a look of victory.“I told you, I to

He explained. He was already in his briefs."Oh," I exclaimed. It made more sense now he explained himself.My hand went to the black shirt, and I was about to take it off when I noticed his eyes on my body. I instantly blushed and turned my face away. His constant staring made me super uncomfortable."Do you mind?" I asked shyly. He looked at me dumbfounded, like he just discovered I existed."What?" He asked, confused."I’m taking the clothes off." I explained."Ohhh." He said and turned away. "I'll be downstairs when you're done.” He said, closing the door behind him as he walked away. The room was suddenly quiet, but I was grateful for it. I took the shirt off gingerly; my ribs hurt me like hell. I walked to the mirror and stood in front of the mirror; I traced my hand through my skin, tr

    Gabriel's povI stared in awe as the army of wolves of every single pack in Western America rushed down the hills of Moonstone in all of their terrifying power. The moon was not out, and all I could witness was them in their normal human states, but even that brought joy to my eyes.The monsters looked at one another in confusion. The army that Saltos had called forth was one terrifying number, but they were scattered across the battlefield without accurate coordination."Form your lines!" Saltos's voice boomed angrily. He had lost all of his former coordination as desperation began." Form your lines, you bloody idiots."But it was already too late for that. Mira got to her feet and slit the throat of the login that was next to her. The other wolves of our pack saw what she did, and one by one, they picked up their swords and began to press the enemy."Fight back, you idiots!" their leader cried. "stand and fight!" a large goblin turned on his heels and began to run."No, no, no, no,"

    Ansari's povI looked up at the figure that hovered over the town In wonder. Was that the child that I had condemned to death out of fear of who she was?Of who she represented?"Mom!!" Magnus cried as he sighted his mother."Magnus!!" Mira yelled, and I turned just in time to see mother and child run to each other. They locked in a firm embrace as the formally strung and formidable Mira sank to her knees in tears."I thought we had lost you." She cried. "I'm sorry mom." "Why didn't you call? It's been two weeks. We thought you were dead.""I can explain everything.” He said with a smile. My daughter's face radiated with joy.I looked around for Gabriel, but he was nowhere to be seen.My mind raced to conclusions as I feared the worst. Now was not the time for news like this. If Gabriel were dead, it would shatter Mira and the little strength she had left."Where's Gabriel?" I heard her ask. I turned around to see the look on Magnus's face as he delivered the news I expected to hear

    Ansari's povYou alright?" I paid no heed to the man as I ran down the corridor.A hand grabbed mine, and I was flung into someone's chest."Shhhh." The baritone voice said. I knew that voice. I looked up to see Conner looking down at me. "Let me go." I whispered."No." He whispered back. Conner was the only person who knew what I had become, the only one who saw the true me. I loved him so much and still did, but he could never."Please let me go." I cried."I have loved you, and this won't ever change things. Never." He pulled his collar away from his neck and looked down at me, "if you being this way would keep you away from me then… make me one too.""You don't know what you're talking about." I said."I do it because I love you."…. Slashed and hacked and cut through every single one of them as if they were made of paper. Blood flew up in the air along with their marked organs and veins. In the end, I stood there in the middle of the room, with pieces Of their bodies lying all

    Gabriel's povMy legs hurt, and the distant feeling of vomit sitting at the back of my throat like some final boss was not helping me on this trek. It has been a good two days since we arrived in Iceland, and the entire company was utterly exhausted. I could not vouch for anyone, but I could bet that I was the most exhausted one out of the three of us. From time to time, I remember when there were four of us. An extra one that had been my responsibility to care for, one I had allowed to be corrupted and destroyed."It's beautiful here," Selene remarked. I looked around at the scenery here. I left Iceland long ago, but even in my memories, it had been a place of extraordinary beauty. It was a good thing that it had not changed. "Yes, it truly is," I replied. It was hard not to fall asleep while driving, but Magnus was terrible. Selene was entirely out of the question. Completely."So this is Akur…""Akureyri." I helped. She rolled her eyes and nodded."Roll off the tip of your tongu

    Selene's pov."What news?" I asked."Saltos opened a portal to our side.""To moonstone?" I asked, fear spear diving through every cell I had in me. Magnus shook his head. "No, but he took the guardians of the most powerful weapon known to our kind. It was one he had used when he was still of this world, before he was banished. It was taken away from moonstone immediately he was released but he found it and massacred and entire pack just to get it. He has it all now, all that remains is to lay waste to everything we hold dear. My mother, my grandmother, my pack and yours."His words were like a knife to my heart, and I was suddenly lightheaded. I collapsed, but he caught me deftly and pulled me back to my feet. "No." I whispered in disbelief."It is the truth child." My father said sadly."You are the only hope we have of beating him," Olivia said.Her words hurt me more than every other person's."Of beating salts?" I asked, "You saw what happened the last time?

    Selene's povGoddess, have mercy!" my father cried in fear as he held on for dear life"Selene, stop this madness!" Magnus said frantically as he held me while staring at the wall of thunder and lightning before us.Now, he chooses to talk. I was in no mood to speak, not anymore."We'll tell you what's in the fucking boot just stop this." My father yelled as the car came a foot closer to the wall of charged electricity. Millions of nerve endings and necrotic cells interconnect the brain. A single thought you make is passed on like bolts of electricity through the brain as it processes it in under a second. That was how long I had to call off the lightning storm before us—less than a freaking second."Fucking hell, your child is crazy," Olivia screamed. Everyone breathed relief, and Olivia stepped out of the vehicle and doubled down on her knees as she took heavy breaths."Are you mad? Do you want to kill us?" My father screamed at me. I wasn't trying to kill them. I knew they would t
