PRINCESS LUCIA POV. Ever wondered what happened after I got thrown into the forest of wolves? _ _ _ I was thrown into the forest of wolves and the guards stood at the entrance making sure I got deeper into the forest. They didn't need to do that though, I was never coming back to this hell. The only thing I regret was not getting to talk to my dad to clear some things, aside from that, I'd rather die than breath air here ever again. After walking for hours inside the forest, I could hear howling of wolves fom a distance which made goosebumps appear on my skin. The howling became louder, accompanied with thumping on the ground. I look ahead and I could see them. They were coming in groups with danger lurking in their red eyes. They looked like they wanted nothing more than to tear me, their prey, to pieces. Rouges. I heard about them from Richard. They were mindless werewolves who the moon goddess abandoned because of their evil doings. Their human part was no longer with them and t
Princess Lucia POV"That's not all" the priestess said. A few minutes later, I felt something cold touch my eyes. The priestess massaged my eyes with something that felt leafy and wet."Don't think about anything" The priestess commanded again, "what do you see?""Blood!," I muttered. I saw blood splattered round the tomb of the young man to form a circle. A reddish-black mist was made to form and was soaring just above the height of the tomb. It covered the tomb like a shield."Do you know what this means?" The priestess asked in the middle of chanting her words I couldn't understand."Vampires, black magic!" The priestess nodded. This can only mean the vampire and the witches joined forces to kill this young man, but since they couldn't, they casted a spell. And they used black magic at that!. Who was this young man that both clans had to go through such great lengths to keep him unconscious?I felt the pearl being taken from my hand, and the light that enveloped me suddenly disappe
Jake's POV.I sprang out of bed, beads of sweat plastered on my face. Nightmares.The same nightmares have been taunting me since I can remember.A man in a tomb, blood, spells, mist.I would forget all that took place in the nightmare, but I could remember some bits and pieces.I sighed and strutted to the bathroom. We returned from the honeymoon last night. Violet and I. I did a quick wash of my face and headed down stairs to fix something to eat before going to work.And there she was, fixing breakfast. I never thought I'd see her first thing in the morning. Thought she'll stay cooped up in her room trying to figure this new environment out. But who was I kidding?. She had already made herself comfortable like this wasn't her first time here."Don't use that cup" I yelled as I ran to retrieve my most precious coffee cup from Violet. She was about to use it to drink water."Why? It's just a cup" Violet looked at me in disbelief."It's not just any cup. This is my favorite cup" I sai
Violet's POV"It's unbelievable right?" I face palmed my self in disbelief."That means Jake feels it too. Did he say anything?" Kimberly asked"Nope. I don't think he feels it." "What makes you think so? A mate bond involves two people, how can you be the only one to be experiencing all that?""That question should be directed to the moon goddess not me" "Oh Violet! What are we going to do about you?" Kimberly scooted to my side and engulfed me into a hug. I guess I felt vulnerable, cause the very next minute, I started sobbing."It's okay, it's okay. Maybe you should try to make things work with him. If the rejection didn't work, then it means you guys are meant to be together" Kimberly advised sincerely."Have you forgotten what he did to me?, I can't just let go of that memory"*First year at senior high*I was 16 years at that time. You know the time when puberty hits real hard and emotions fly around. Yes, that time. When the attraction and urge to be noticed by the other gen
Jake's POV I came home and met Violet setting the table. "Hey, come have some dinner." She smiled at me before she went to kitchen to bring the other dishes. What's with this newlywed vibe I was getting from the atmosphere? I was famished anyway so I brushed of every other thoughts and focused on the food in front of me. Violet readied everything and came to sit opposite me. "Do you like the food?" She asked. I caught her stealing glances at me once in a while but...I still brushed it off. "Let me take that for you" she said as she walked to my seat and helped take off my jacket. If I thought everything was okay before, I now thought that something was definitely wrong. "Do you need anything from me?" I asked as I cut the piece of meat on my plate. "Not really. I just want us to..,talk" I gave her a glance before I went back to my food. What could she possibly want to talk about?! "I'll get that" she said and she stood up to take the dishes to the sink. She was acting real
Violet POV.I couldn't stop it. The heart wrenching pain that dwelled in my heart the moment Jake slid into Felicia. The mate bond was really doing its job as the pain clenched my heart making me shed unstoppable tears. It is a thing in the werewolf realm, that once your mate sleeps with another, you'd feel unimaginable hurt and pain, not physically, but emotionally.What was I even thinking when I wanted to work things out between us? What was that expectation and hope I felt when Jake kissed me back there?. The results of my selfishness are echoing round the whole house in the name of Felicia screams.I honestly don't know what even hurt more. The fact that I'm hearing Felicia's moans, or the mate bond that was suffocating me. Either way, I'm so done with Jake. Done with hoping for anything, done with this shitty marriage.I picked up little of my stuffs, like my phone, car keys and the likes, and ran out of the house.It was pretty late, not a single soul to be seen on the quiet ro
Violet's POV "What past? As for whom I am, I didn't bother to inquire. I'm not that interested." Things just keep popping up and it's really stressing me. After that tired long run, what I wanted now was to sink into my soft fluffy bed and go to Dreamland. Maybe things would be more peaceful there. "Ever heard of God?" Kendrick questioned. "Yeah. Humans worship him, so?" I said as I went to stand next to him. He was looking down at the fire that was still a bit orange and were looking more like tiny fire flies now. "Did you see who was here?!" He asked completely deviating from the whole "God topic" "Nope. I yelled to see if it was some lost person seeking help but the answer I got was a quenched fire" "Good" he said but I didn't really put much thought to it. "Why did you mention God?" He couldn't just leave me hanging, like bruh, start what you can finish. "Ever heard of the three clans and their gods?" I shook my head affirming a `no` when I heard his question. The only god
Author's POV. In the rush of the cold wild wind that made things flutter as it swooshed past, a man and a woman stood on top of a cliff, their hairs moving in the direction the wind pushed them to. "Did she suspect?" the girl's mellifluous voice rang out. "Dumb as ever, didn't notice a thing." The guy said. "Say Ken, isn't she your sister" "So?, They both abandoned me and are living merry lives" Kendrick sneered. "Good. I don't need sentimental emotions to ruin everything I've planned. Violet is going down and in the worst way possible at that!" "Whatever you want Emily. But just be careful so as to not get caught. Today you barely slipped from her eyes, what about next time?" "I've been lurking around for some time now without getting caught, she just got lucky today. Anyway, I'm off to teach someone a lesson for touching my man!." She said menacingly as a cynical smile came to form on her lips. There you have it. She's back! Emily is back!!. ... Violet's POV "The curse is
Princess Lucia POV (Last of this segment)I wasn't sure I heard well, unborn child?!"What child?" I asked. I could feel my heart racing faster than it had ever done. The last time I birthed a child, he ended up with a miserable death. What if this one is no exception?"Don't fret. It is the child from the prophecy. The most powerful witch will be borne through you, my daughter Safina," I heard the immense longing in her voice."What do you mean?" I still wasn't understanding the theory she presented."Alocaus and Safina, my daughter, were lovers. They are destined to be together and as such the supreme God granted her request to be reincarnated with Alocaus. This has been planned for years now."I wasn't surprised when I got the idea of things. I have been wondering if the prophecy as of when I was born was true since I haven't given birth to any powerful being. My doubts have now been cleared."In the nearer future, the love between Safina and Alocaus will face many tribulations, e
Princess Lucia POV A year after our encounter with Hapoda, Luna Catherine took in.She was getting worried that whatever we did back then at Alocaus' tomb didn't work. She lost hope and skipped meals. Her depressed state was contagious 'cause seeing her like that made me depressed and helpless as well.Not until one faithful morning that she kept vomiting and eventually fainted after complaining of having too many dizzy spells.In haste, Alpha James called the pack physician, and he confirmed the most exciting news ever. Luna Catherine was pregnant.Even I couldn't believe it, what more her. She found it hard to believe and kept shedding tears of joy. I caught Alpha James secretly wiping tears from his eyes as well.The news spread like wildfire in the entire pack. Elders rushed to the pack house and a meeting was called immediately. The Luna has finally gotten pregnant after ten years, and they couldn't hide their ecstasy.Many of the elders who pursued the alpha to take a second Lu
Princess Lucia POVAfter my last talk with Hapoda, I was torn as to how to disclose the information to the alpha and Luna.Hapoda said that the couple that will birth the reincarnated Alocaus, needed to consent, which means I will have to tell them everything.It was not difficult per se, but I didn't know how to start that conversation.Two months passed, and I didn't bring it up yet. The elders were pressuring the aloha to get a concubine at least since he was so adamant about not getting a second Luna. Of course, the alpha disagreed, but Luna Catherine was finding it hard to cope with the issue of her barrenness when it was all the elders talked about during their meetings.I always find her in the garden secretly crying...it tugged at my conscience that I had a solution, and I was fidgeting with whether to tell it.One night, I brought it up to Logan, my husband. He was the alpha's beta, so he could help me in breaking the news to them.He found it hard to believe that I was commu
Violet's POVWould I be able to walk away from him? I had asked him to let me go, and I had talked big but the moment he freed me, I couldn't move a muscle.It felt like a magnet held me in place and I couldn't move no matter how much I willed myself to."Do you remember high school?" I slowly slid down to the floor. "When you humiliated me in front of all the students, juniors included. You know, even after what you did, I still couldn't stop myself from liking you. I was upset, I even ignored you, but every time I saw you, even from a mile away, I wished you'd just say a simple hi to me. I still feel the same way now. I wish you'd greet me good morning, I wish you'd ask about my day, but you never did, and I only ended up feeling hurt." I stared into space as I reminisced those memories."I have always liked you Violet, but the anger I felt every time I remembered how you pushed Emily... I just saw you as plain evil. Someone who would kill her close friend to get what she wants." J
Violet's POVWe finally reached Jake's house after two hours of unbearable silence in Jake's car. He tried creating discussions from time to time but I was not in the mood for his tactics. What did he think he was trying to pull being all nice and even kissing me on my forehead!?I dragged my suitcase up the stairs and to my room. A good night's rest will relieve all the stress I had to put up today. I deserve that at least. I settled my bag in one corner of my room– will arrange it tomorrow, and prepared to go take a bath.Wrapping a towel around my body, I was about to go into the bathroom when my door flung wide open."What do you think you're doing?!" I yelled at Jake as I held tightly unto my towel. I watched as he lustfully trailed his eyes from my legs to my face. I guess he felt how serious I was when his gaze landed on mine and he began to stutter."I– I...um...Dinner is ready,""Is that the reason you couldn't knock?" I questioned caustically."Take a chill pill. I didn't kno
Jake's POVThe first thing I did once Thomas and I returned was to go check up on Violet. Surprisingly, she wasn't in her room. Did she go home?I went to my father's study to go inquire about her whereabouts. Violet will never leave without informing my father."She went to the forest at the back for a run," Those were my father's words. That should be relieving– I knew where she was, but why did that feel unnerving? I felt like something bad happened."Where are you going?" Thomas shouted after me as I ran past him."The forest," I don't know if he heard me. I had run quite far before I yelled. I went to the back of the pack house first and I saw Violet's bundle of clothes. She must have changed into her wolf, which means she was going to take this route to get to her clothes.I picked up her clothes and ran into the forest. Changing into my wolf would have made everything easier but I decided against it. Only the moon goddess knows what Zion would do to Violet if I let him out.Aft
Violet's POVIt wasn't so hard for me to put the pieces together. I had come to understand that what happened at the cliff years ago and recently was a manifestation of Safina's powSeeing her not surprised that I had such powers made me suspicious that she already knew of our past li“And where do you think you’re running off to, Vakiba!” I took a leap of faith. Her pale face as soon as those words left my mouth, confirmed my thoug"How long have you known?" With shock written all over her face, she as"I'm not telling," I smirked. I wouldn't tell her that I didn't know everything, yet. It'll put me at a disadvantage. Just fragments of memories that I'm trying to fix together to get the full comprehension of things and why they are happening. With all these said, I think I need to pay my mom a visit. She seems to know more than she cla"It doesn't matter! All that matters is that I get Jake. You've always stolen him away from me. Then, and now. But I won't let history repeat itself,
Violet’s POVWas I wrong to be thinking about my nakedness at this moment?If I wanted to get answers from Emily, I would have to change into my human form. I didn’t bring any clothes with me and it was the first time someone would see me naked. Apart from my mum who was with me on my first shift, no one has seen me naked. Nudity was very common within werewolves but since I haven’t gotten used to being naked around others…I practically act like a human.I know right. Silly of me to be thinking about my nakedness in this kind of situation. I turned back to look at Kendrick who was still laying behind the log of wood- wasn’t he uncomfortable naked? - and then at Emily, who stood smugly in front of me without saying anything. I take that she thought I was surprised seeing her here, meanwhile, I was contemplating if I should shift, or just run away. No. running was not an option; I would seem like a coward.“Surprise!” Emily exclaimed and I growled. “You’re still as feisty as the last t
Violet’s POV After chatting with Kimberly for a while, she left. The pack house was uncomfortable for me as there was no one I could talk to and I’m always on pins and needles around the alpha and Luna, afraid I’ll make a mistake. The pack house was more lively than I could remember or maybe I didn’t remember it at all as I always avoid coming here. Everyone appreciates the effort I make in avoiding the pack house as they didn’t really like me as well. Now that I had already married Jake and was the potential future Luna of the pack, they started acting awkwardly around me. I guess they didn’t know how to act since all they’ve ever done was insult me in the past. “Violet…” it has been long since I heard that voice. My wolf, Jumi. Ever since the rejection from Jake, she had cut contact with me and the outside world and has slept t herself ever since. The last time I felt her was when I fought with Felicia in the female’s restroom at the crescent moon anniversary. “Hey” I called out t
