******************************That Night In The Capital******************************Clarissa was walking in the darkness of the town alone and utterly miserable, the town outside the palace was so quiet, there was no single soul on the street, It was midnight after all.She wipe her tears with the edge of her gown and headed towards her house at the far end of the town. there's nothing to be afraid of, as the town is mostly full of friendly creatures.She slightly gives her door a push and the door creak wide open."Hmm," she sighed.As she step into the room, she felt a familiar energy and a sweet pine scent, she was in a haze."it smells like heaven," she thought as she move to put on the touch on the wall.Her eyes fell on a shadow of a man sitting on the kitchen stool with his shoulders draped. He was staring right at her with his amber eyes.He looked so daringly handsome, With an average height he had a defined cheekbone and a concrete jaw, long Viking- gold hair, and bristle
Lucian POV*********************The moment I fell into the abyss of darkness, My wolf energy was extremely draining, my whole being hurt from pain and weakness, it felt like this darkness reject my presence. I was already on a thin rope between my wolf form and my human form, the two forms share their energy and strength. My lower body was still in my wolf form while my upper body had shifted back to my human form.At this crucial moment I felt the need to drink water, "I'm so thirsty," I said licking my already-dried lips. I was going around in circles with no trace of Dylan, it had been some minutes back that I felt his energy. Now even when I try to reach out to it, it is too far and faint to trace and it had been scattered around the darkness, Maybe this sorcery or spell or whatever it is had sucked out his energy into itself and it seems this darkness expanded by the minutes.If I wind up not finding my brother in the next minutes I might as well meet my end." I don't mind meeti
The elaborately decorated and gilded carriage of the alpha king galloped through the narrow path leading to the palace.In it, lay Lucian unconscious with sweat on his forehead, his body temperature was running, Marek who had taken the initiative to ride in the same carriage as he sat opposite him with fear in his heart.His body which was vigorously shaking clearly from cold, he's having a fever."gbaam! gbaam! Marek hit the carriage's solid surface, a gesture telling the coachman to speed up.He touch his head, immediately he retracted back his hand, Lucian was burning with fever.The carriage rider doubles its speed. it came to a stop in the middle of the journey."The palace physician is here," the carriage rider said. Marek jumps down the carriage and leads the old physician in. the physician, a wrinkled face old man with bearded grey hairs, bend back and a walking stick.The physician touched Lucian, the same as Marek did he jolted and moved his hand away from his body.Marek ma
Clarissa woke up late in the morning to the sound of plates in the kitchen, Memories of the previous night came flooding into her brain.she was glad she didn't wait for Iyyar to wake up before sneaking into her bedroom. But what is he up to in the kitchen she wondered.Clarissa tiptoe to the door and unbolt it, she open the door wide enough for her eyes to see through, she stretch her neck but didn't get a clear glimpse of what he is doing, the big kitchen cupboard was in the way of her sight. annoyed by it, she quietly closed the door and sat back on her bed."Darn you cupboard!" she cursed under her breath.She took to undress, then she went into the bathroom to take her to bathe. she wrap herself in a small robe and came out of the bathroom, she walk over to the mirror and sat on a small wooden stool that she had placed on the front of the mirror, the mirror which she had placed on her bedroom wall for her hair making, she picks a blue brush and brushes out her long red lush hair.
innocently Clarissa raise her head to have a look at him, her deep blue eyes met his amber eyes, and staring directly into his drowning eyes she asked."Why did you mark me?"Iyyar averted her gaze, "did I mark you?" he asked with an unknowing frown."stop pretending!" Clarissa hit him on his muscular broad chest, mid-air Iyyar caught her hand and draw her in, her face some inches away from his face, with the two breathing fanning each other face. "I didn't," he said.she peered right into his eyes, but he kept on averting his gaze not wanting to meet her gaze."tell me the truth! she said frowning.he leaned in on her with his head placed above her slender shoulder, his lips close to her ears he said,"I didn't mark you but he wanted to" he pecks her neck his action which sends a shiver down her spine.Clarissa knew her body can betray her at any moment so she yank her hand away from his and moved far away from him. he shrugged his shoulder, hiding the disappointment on his face."he?
The carriage arrived at the palace and with great speed, Lucian was taken to his residence.Marek was surprised at the multitude of ministers and servants waiting outside to attend to them.though they all had grim looks on their faces, he wondered "Maybe they're all worried for their king,"when they got to the palace, Lucian's heart had almost stopped beating.the trinity sisters of the desert leader tend to him.some incantations were being made to pull chaos out of him.during the ritual, Lucian fluttered his eyes open, barely breathing he asked."Marek, how is Dylan?""Hush Cian, Dylan is fine," Marek assured him.Marek could guess he was struggling to keep his eyes open but he drifted back to sleep.Marek and the witch nodded a yes to him as they advised him to lay back and go back to sleep that the pain will soon be over.Marek stood there watching Lucian struggling to stay alive as the darkness was being pulled out of him, Lucian's eyes were tightly closed like he was afraid of
In an opening to a huge cave some walk away from Latma field, Empusa's spy and assistant, Nikkal, had just arrived from the capital, she had stayed at the capital so she could hear the latest gossip happening in the palace. she jumped down from her saddle "Your leadership" she bowed in greetings to Empusa.In a very wide cave, Empusa and her coven had decided to settle there for a while, till the day of the last battle where all supernatural beings shall meet their end, the big cave was built and arranged in a day, with everyone at the evil witch beck and call, she settled down comfortably in the cave, her pale figure on the rock like a throne, built for her by her coven sisters, which she treats like her slaves. her long unkempt hair looks like that of a crazy woman.Empusa was eager to find out the latest happening."What did you find out in the capital, are the people already mourning the death of the superior king and his family?" Nikkal stood still at her place, pale and not dari
****************Dylan's POV*****************I felt the ground moving, no, I think it felt like am inside a moving container, and who are these in the black cloak and dark blue garments, they hover around me and make some earsplitting sounds, "Why do I I feel this burning sensation? are those Empusa covens? had they come back to end me finally?" those were the question running through my mind.My eyes were too heavy to stay open, so I close them again. I found myself in total darkness, I walk around the darkness, I knew I was walking in circles but I could not give up. My body or would I rather say, my soul work on its own, my zeal and mind were not connected to it, I could only see myself in his eyes or myself in myself, and I had no idea of where I am. I look at my hands they were very tiny, "I'm already an adult why am I in my ten-year-old body." I wondered.I walked, then suddenly far away, I saw a dim light under a tree. joyfully, ten years old I ran towards it.I can recogni
#Back in AkeldamaYears had passed. The season came and went, the mourning was still in the air, and the people sing praises of the superior king for returning them home and setting things right.they set up a festival for that day but they knew after losing his mate, he could never be the same again, Lucian would go to the divine tree every day to see if Khloe would come out to talk to him, he misses her but any time he goes there he comes back heavily drunk."You don't have to do this to yourself," Dylan scolded him one of such nights."Tell me, Dylan," He said staggering backward."If you were in my shoes what will you do?" he asked.Dylan was speechless, he does not want to in any way think of it. so he patted him on the shoulder and draw him into a hug."I can never forgive you Khloe," he whispered."Yes do that, never you forgive her," Dylan agreed with him then helped him to his chamber.it was not really all that bad to be back in their realm, though here had a painful memory
"What are you two talking about?" Lucian asked staring dead at Aliya. "I don't know what this asshole is talking about," Aliya said."Well let me brainstorm with you," Karnivan said in his deep muscular voice."Your mate is the only one who can bring our realm back to its former glory," Karnivan said as he made his way toward his throne."what do you take us for? fools?" Lucian asked.he wasn't going to stand there and let Karnivan's madness affect him. so he thought."Brother listen to him," Dylan plead with his eyes."I do take you as fools, you think the goddess blessed you with a mate? Do you think of yourself as the goddess's favorite?" Karnivan Laughed."I don't care about the goddess, I just want to get the hell out of this cave or better still shove some punches in your ass," Lucian glared at him with rage and hate."Those two are the rebirth of the igigis you sacrifice to gain power," He finally let out.Lucian placed his hand on his head, he repetitively kept on saying "No,
"Oh my. who do we have here?" Khloe turned around and immediately turned pale in horror, she saw a ginger-haired man standing in front of her with a devilish grin on his face while the rest looked at her like she is a moth."Where do you come from?" he said looking her up and down.Khloe wanted to run but she knows how fast vampires are, she could never outrun one, she thought of what to say but none of the excuses register in her brain."Oh my, I think she is deaf or is she dumb?" He said and the other two men with grim looks started laughing."I'm just a poor servant here," Khloe said looking down at her feet.The man was quiet for a while, Khloe knows that she had been caught in her lies when she heard the ginger hair man chuckle."Oh lies, I hate lies," he said hitting his fist on his hand making Khloe flinch in fear."You smell so delicious that no one of us would have kept you for long, you know why?" he took a step forward.Khloe took another step backward and shook her head."
Back at the penthouse*************************"You have to push Clarissa."Aliya is standing next to Clarissa holding her left hand and urging her to push."I'm getting tired," She cried out."Don't give me that" Aliya almost yell at her."Rissa looks at me," Iyyar said holding her hands and looking down at her."You know that I love you right? And you love those two with tiny feet and if you want to meet them you have to push them out first," Iyyar said persuading her.Clarissa nodded, she was sweating so much.some minutes later Clarissa had contractions and the babies were safely delivered.The cries of the babies filled the room, Iyyar could not hold in his excitement while Jason was bustling up."I want to hold the baby," Jason demanded. Only when the babies had arrived did they let midwives enter the room, the servants were not left out.Later that night, Clarissa and the baby were resting peacefully inside, Iyyar met Aliya sitting in the garden."Thank you so much. Aliya," Iy
"We've been on their trail for hours without any positive outcome!" Lucian yelled in a mind link with his brother."I can not give up on Arianna," Dylan's mind links back as he stubbornly increases his speed."Stop!" Lucian ran ahead of him and stood in his way, Dylan tried to take another path but Lucian is a well-trained soldier, he had suspected his movement beforehand, so he held back his tail loosely making Dylan yelp in pain."What the hell!" Dylan yell."Shift!" Lucian commanded.Dylan was hesitant but he eventually shifted into his human form."We can't continue running around in circles, we need help and I think this is a waste of time," Lucian said."Then call all the werewolves to come help, you will do that if it were Khloe," Dylan was furious, and with every second passed by he becomes irritated."Khloe is the Luna of the pack," Lucian corrected."And Arianna is my mate, Khloe is not yet your mate," Dylan said.Lucian opened his mouth to lash him out with his tongue but th
"What!" Iyyar said in shock.he ran towards the bed which was overflowing with Clarissa's blood, then he instantly turn towards Aliya, gripping her hands and almost going on his knees he begged."please save her," Iyyar was in tears.Aliya nodded and asked him to calm down, "Rissa had already lost consciousness and the babies are striving to stay alive in her tummy. I need you to calm down," Aliya said firmly.She gesture to Khloe to begin the pain reliever process, with unsteady feet Khloe walked up to her.She placed her hand on Clarissa's tummy, and for some minutes nothing was happening."Concentrate," Aliya said."I can't," Khloe shut her eyes tightly."She will die and it will be on you, your inability to be a better Luna, I thought you want our kinds to respect you? this is your chance," Aliya said stressing each one of her words so none of them would go unheard.Khloe pushed herself further and there was a tiny light peeping out her enclosed palm, gradually the veins on her hea
"Arianna!" Khloe yelled her name and ran after the car, the moment Leon saw her he hurried the men inside the car and they drove off with full speed."Arianna!" Khloe screamed.Lucian met her outside , he grabbed her hand and turn her over."Aria," Khloe pointed at the black SUV car."What happened?" Lucian was confused."Arianna, he took Arianna," Khloe said almost out of breath."Who did what?" Dylan ran out and overhead Khloe."Leon....he..he..""Slow down," Lucian tried to calm her, Khloe was panting so hard."Speak to me!" Dylan said impatient."What did Leon did?" Lucian asked calmly."He took Arianna," Khloe finally said.as soon as Khloe's word reach Dylan's in ear, he transformed into his big white with black patch wolf, he howl so loudly that Khloe and the rest had to cover their ears then he ran."Dylan wait!" Lucian tried to stop him but he was already gone.Marek came out and Lucia push Khloe towards him, "Take care of her," Lucian said and in her presence he transformed
The people all made way for the one that utter such words, they pave the way for him. A young dyed blue-haired guy with an obvious cheekbone and light brown eyes steps forward.he bowed to Lucian before speaking."I would never question you, my lord, questioning you meant questioning the goddess and I could never," he said."What's your name?" Dylan asked.Lucian was silent and observant, Dylan could tell that his calmness is only a charade as what will come after that is a storm."I would only speak to the superior king," The guy said stubbornly.the young guy look weather-beaten and dirty, his lips were chaffed and dry, and his shoes were dusty the only thing that might not make you see him as someone who had lost his sanity is his face which was shaved recently, he doesn't look like a responsible person neither does he look irresponsible either."you berated my queen you Luna and how do you plead for this offence you have committed," Lucian said.Lucian was nowhere ready to waste hi
the whole household gathered together in the living room, Arianna was forced by Dylan to sit on him, while Lucian sat on the big middle couch with a carving on it, he made space for Khloe to sit beside him."Does that mean am now his Luna?" Khloe wondered.some hours later the house becomes crowded with people, both male and female with an unusual energy.The only persons surprised at the multitude of people struggling to get a place inside were Arianna and Khloe.They throw glances at each other and shrugged when they also are not aware of what was going on.Khloe heard whispers of the people mostly they were all talking about her, some said she was weak while others sees the fire in her eyes, their critics and appraisal words made her choke with laughter.They were all excited about getting a Luna, "She looks so beautiful," Khloe heard someone whisper.Khloe looked around, she wanted to see the one who had complimented her."Oh I heard she was reincarnated by the goddess," She heard
