NORAGavner rushed over to me, carrying the baby from my arms. He squatted, placing his arms on my waist as he helped me stand up.As I stood up, I wondered why he wasn't scared. I could harm him. I can't even trust myself anymore.The pain in my throat was still lingering as it stung me. "You shouldn't be here," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.He pulled me closer to himself, closing the distance between us as I placed my hand on his chest."Are you saying I should leave you to kill every member of the pack?" he said tenderly as I felt his chest rise and fall on my hands.He carefully led me to the roadside. Helping me into the car, he handed the baby over to me as he turned around and hopped into the car.As he drove through the woods, I stared at the baby in my arms, whimpering. Knowing fully well that I had fed on his mother and rendered him motherless, it pierced my heart.It felt like a thousand arrows had been fired into my heart.I tilted my head, staring at Gavner, st
GAVNERShe ignored me, hurdling by the edge of the car as I drove.I knew I had disrespected her and made her upset, but I had my reasons. I understood that she wanted to keep the baby, but he was better off outside the castle, so I handed him over to someone who'd take great care of him.Tilting my head, I stared at her, her face blank as she looked out the window. "His name is Nickolas," I repeated again, but this time she shrugged.Taking a deep breath, she rests her back comfortably on the chair, sighing deeply. "Gavner? This is the end for us. I do not want to ever set my eyes on you again," she blurted out, just like I had expected.She said she didn't want to see me again. That was indeed going to be difficult.I placed my hand on hers, taking it as I spoke to her. I needed her to understand me.She is the only person I want at the moment. "Nora, I'm so...." she cut me off immediately as she quickly withdrew her hand, placing it by her side.I stepped on the break as soon as we
NORAI had intentionally looked up at him with a curious glint in my eyes and asked him to take off my dress. I wanted to know how much he really cared about me.How much he craved for me...How much he's stopping himself from touching me...I was sure his heart had skipped a beat because he was certain that he would never have thought that he would hear that from me. I could hear the fear in his voice when I asked him to take off my dress.I had no idea what was wrong with me either.When he left to get my dress, I found myself pacing around the bathroom, uncomfortable in my own skin.I wondered why I was finding him attractive. I knew he was more attractive than Horace, but I loved Horace.I've been finding it difficult to let him off my mind, but all to no avail... My life's a mess, and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.I had no idea if it was as a result of him always being there with me or of him always looking out for me.I had no idea if my feelings were uneasy bec
NORAHis arms wrapped tight around my waist, and his hands reached up to cradle my face as he leaned in and kissed me deeply.As our lips met, I could feel the heat between us intensify. I kissed him deeply, his lips soft and gentle against mine.He grabbed my waist... I could feel his arms wrapping tightly around my waist, pulling me closer. His tongue darted out to meet mine, my hands reaching up to tangle in his hair as he pressed my body closer to his, lost in the moment.His tongue ran over my lips, and I opened my mouth. Our bodies pressing against each other, he reached up, his fingers grazing against the base of my neck.I moaned softly as his fingers played with my hair, and he smiled at the filthy sounds escaping from my lips.He ran his fingers over my skin, tracing the lines of my curves as I wrapped my arms around his waist.My heart was beating so fast, I could hear each thud in my ears, but I focused and wanted to focus on the moment, on the feeling of being so close to
HORACEI paced around Nora's chamber... she wasn't there, and it was dawn.I couldn't mind link with her, and she had no phone to communicate with her. After knowing who she really is, I felt like I didn't know her anymore.I felt like she was hiding from me... I couldn't reach her anymore, and my heart kept yearning for her.She told me she didn't love my brother, but after I found her in his arms, she looked more relaxed than she had ever been in my arms.It seemed like Gavner was hellbent on going after her, and I needed to do something about it.He didn't have the right to go after my mate, not after he had rejected her.I was trying to keep my cool because I realized that Nora was loving his company.I grasped my head, wondering where she was.The door was slightly pushed open as I turned to see who was there."Horace," she called, her voice weak as she switched the light on.She looked weak and feeble. "Where were you?" I asked.She strolled into the room, slumping on the bed. "I
NORAIt's been weeks since I went rampage, and just like Gavner had promised, he will make sure I do not kill again. He did as he promised.I've been getting oxblood meals, fresh pig flesh, milk, and some other things. He personally handed over the blood bags to me.After we spent time with ourselves in the shower, he took his time to make sure I was doing alright.There was a knock on the door. I quickly stood up and walked toward the door to check it out."My lady, this is for you." A maiden said, and I nodded, carefully carrying the contents from her."Thank you," I said, and she slightly bowed her head before walking away.I shut the door, and as I quickly unwrapped what was handed over to me, my jaw dropped.Fear gripped me... it was unintentional.I wasn't scared, but Daciana was... she was whimpering.She had to take enough from me being a Tribrid... I was hurting her, so I decided that I'd let her have her way if that was going to make her okay.I rushed to the door, opening i
VLADIt has been weeks since I've been stalking through the shadows in the woods, concealed by the darkness as I watched Nora's every move.I had also seen Marcel a couple of times as he watched her as well, but unknown to him, I was still doing the same.I couldn't imagine the outrage that would occur in less time than I expected. She looked broken, trying to pick up the pieces of her life even though she became the Luna of the pack.I was certain that she didn't want her life to be the way it was.But still, I can't leave her untaken care of... she will be the cause of so much evil untold.I had thought of revealing myself to her, but I think I should wait longer.I turned in the direction of the door as it screeched open. Marcel walked in with a long face, probably because he didn't like the task assigned to him. The fact he didn't like it, is the main reason I made him do it, so he would be heartless about what he doesn't care about and finish up his task.Bowing his head slightly
HORACEI didn't care about what people would think about my decisions... All I was ready to do was deal with people who disrespected my mate.This incident is going to stand as a lesson to those who are still planning to be unruly.I looked around, satisfied that Nora wasn't here to see such a scene unfold because, definitely, she would not allow me to make a sure decision.As soon as they raised their swords, I turned my face to my side, not wanting to ruin my sight.I heard a heartbreaking sound as the sword made contact with the lady's flesh.I could hear the cries of other wolves as the sword sliced through her, her head falling and rolling on the floor of the platform.Standing up from my chair, I faced the crowd, their cries and noise lessened. "This should stand as a warning to the rest of you... I would not think twice before wiping anyone who plans to make life unfortunate for my mate from this earth."~"You know the day I was slashed with a sword?" Matteo asked as he strode
Five Years LaterAs the sun cast its golden rays over the grazed field, the sound of laughter filled the arena. The sun was setting, and the castle was joyful as everyone went on with their daily lives.It's been five years since the birth of Morgana, the daughter of a Tribrid, out into the world again. Morgana had grown into a high-spirited young girl.Running ahead of her was Nickolas. Ever since she was born, Nora and Gavner made sure to make her bond with Nickolas. Now, they were inseparable, playing around as Morgana chased after Nickolas. Their screams and laughter echoed throughout the open field."Morgana, be careful so you don't fall." Evelyn shouted so she could be heard as she smiled at their clumsiness.Moving into the castle with Nickolas, she grew fond of Morgana. Her eyes sparkled with joy as she admired the bond that the two kids formed between themselves."Yes, Aunty, I won't fall." Morgana chuckled as she kept on chasing after Nickolas.Over on the other side, Gavne
THIRD PERSON POV"Zelda... What? How's this even possible?" Mira stammered as she watched Zelda take a few more steps closer to her.Just like Lilith had told Zelda, she needed to take what was rightfully hers, so she decided to go back to the coven, but unfortunately, she couldn't give the comeback she really wanted to give because Lilith and Nora had killed the witches.Zelda chuckled upon seeing Mira... she was glad Mira was still alive so she could teach her a lesson."Are you surprised to see me? Or are you scared?" Zelda asked, and a cunning smile curled her lips as she glared at Mira.There was no way she would forget what Mira did to her... she just wouldn't forget it.Mira shook her head and said, "It's not possible for you to be alive! I watched the whole process as you were killed. There was no life left in you." Mira's hands trembled as she staggered backward.Zelda clenched her fists tightly as she decided to end it all—every single thing she went through in the past year
AURELIAPushing out a chair beside the dinning table as I sat down with a glass of coffee on my hand. I had promised Nora that she would live a happy life, afterall I was the one who decided to bring her into this life so I do not intend to make her suffer this much.I'm glad that she has been strong enough to undergo all of the misfortunes in this life.I felt so sorry to my daughter for causing her all of these stress, if I had let them kill her years ago, she would not be here going through all of these shit.For weeks, I've been contemplating on what to do to help clean up this mess... I had no idea what my fate was so I guess I just have to do whatsoever I had to do to end all of these.Gulping down the contents in the cup, I rose to my feet.~"What a long time Aurelia," Michela hissed turning her back at me as she strode past the hallway.She had always acted bossy to me so it wasn't a new thing, I had only come here to clear up everything. Nora didn't tell me but it seemed lik
NORAI wondered how worried Matteo was about me when he told me that, though it was really getting out of hand. Horace was making things worse, and I have no idea what to do about it.But then again, I can't leave the castle because if I do, the witches and whatever else they were, will come to attack me, and I'm not strong enough to handle them yet.I'd rather stay here, where I'm free.I'm a pregnant woman who needs to enjoy this period of her life, but here I am worried about my life and that of my unborn child, and then it was really great that I turned him down.I had no idea if he was worried about me or Lilith... why didn't I think of it?Lilith must have rejected his offer, so he came to me because he knew if I left, she must go with me.'I'm sorry, but I can't just leave.Come to think of it, I should run away... I should leave my family here because Horace is harassing me.I will survive his molestation, but at the moment I need to think of a way to clear this mess. Though I
MATTEOAs the days went on, I felt like I had no idea who Horace really was... he was changing by the day, and it was making me really scared.I had tried to talk to him, but he wasn't listening to me and always ended up shunning me away with a death threat.I was worried for everyone in the castle because we had no idea who would be his next target. I knew it was Nora, but then I knew he had his eyes on Gavner and Lilith.I was scared for them.~Days agoThe warriors were all seated under the mango tree as they talked about how stressful their day had been.Lopez sighed deeply, attracting other warriors, who tilted their heads, staring at him."What's wrong?" Thorin asked."I'm really scared of staying here in this castle... With everything that's going on in here," Lopez said calmly to avoid having his voice heard.Thorin and Gaius adjusted the way they sat, unable to say a word.Walker crossed his legs together and said, "Gaius, you were guarding the late Queen's chamber when that
MATTEOEver since I set my eyes on Lilith, I won't deny falling madly in love with her, but I was just scared that I might lose her again, just like I lost Elena.I didn't want that to happen considering the fact that she was taking care of Nora. I knew what the nature of her job stated and how she could lose her life any moment from now.All I just want is for her to be safe and sound. I can admire her from afar without her knowing, even though I'm aware that she's madly in love with me, but then there's nothing I can do about it.Ever since I returned to the pack after Horace and Rodriguez's fight, I apologized to her for how I reacted in the past, but she seemed to be slipping away from me. Maybe it was because I didn't know how to put my words together whenever I tried speaking to her, but within her, I just hoped that she was aware that I loved her with all my heart.All of my thinking migrated to when I accepted her as my mate... she was really shocked at my decision. I shut my
THIRD PERSON POVSeveral weeks agoOphelia couldn't believe Ambrose gave all of his powers to Lilith just to take her revenge on them. Now she won't forgive Lilith for ruining her plans.All of her plans have been ruined, and she has no idea what to do at the moment.She has lost everything…her son, her powers, Orion, who stood by her, Marcel, who always thought of a way out of any bad omen, and Rodriguez, who has left the pack and gone to prepare a better life for himself and a place to stay.She was all alone. Wandering in the wilderness, on the surface of the earth, she quietly hoped that she would run into Ambrose, even though he was dead.Standing several kilometers away, she could see a small home... It looked like an abandoned cottage. She smiled."Finally, I see where I can rest my head for some days, if not for that crazy bitch who ruined everything! Who the heck does she think she is?" Ophelia asked herself as she slipped her hands into her pocket to warm them from the cold.
NORAI had no idea why that happened to be the question Horace had to ask me... he made my heart beat a thousand times.Fear and anxiety engulfed my entire body system as I was shaken by forces I had no idea about."What do you mean by that?" I asked instantly, feeling uncomfortable.He shook his head. "Forget about it... I didn't mean to do that to you, and trust me this once when I say I'm not here to harm you," he said. The sincerity in his eyes pulled me to him.No!I waved it off.I wouldn't fall for his tricks, or rather, the tricks of the dragon!"Why are you here?" I asked, and I needed an answer that was straight to the point. "You know you can actually sit down if you want to talk to me, and not squatting right in front of me makes me uncomfortable."That wasn't the reason I said that... he was just right there. Very close to my unborn child. Why?Why does he have to be so close to me if he just wants to speak to me?Now I have no idea what to do. I'm heavily pregnant, and I
HORACESitting on a chair on the balcony, I just couldn't forgive myself for what I did to my mother. Now no one wants to come around because they are scared that the same fate will fall on them.Even I will assume so with the rate at which I killed people, not to mention my mother.That crazy dragon was using me to get the revenge he wanted on the people who looked down at him, and now I have no idea what to do.Who's next on his list?Nora?That reminded me... I hadn't seen her around lately, but then something about her was driving my head crazy, making me want to go and look for her.The last time I saw her, her stomach was really big, like she was due to have her baby.I know that she has no idea, but every single minute, I always pray that I don't get to hurt her for any reason, but when it happens, I just can't stop myself because I'm being controlled."Damnit!" I cursed.With time, I knew I would not have anyone who would sincerely stand by me. Everyone is avoiding and staying
