Drax, Zion and I sat together to dine, but it's obvious that none of us have an appetite after what happened this early morning.

“Xander has powers— indestructible even..Maybe worse than the one who summoned him.Don't you think? This is why he wants him back” Zion says, serving bacon on my plate from his.

“It seems so but Xander is a child— although those dark powers might make him scary but he doesn't know good or bad” I whisper, “And what exactly are you trying to say by mentioning his powers?

Zion stares at me for a brief second, hesitation is shimmering in those eyes.

“Nothing” He sighs, digging back in his food.

“Of course, you'd think that” Drax chuckles, flicking his gaze to Zion as if he understood what's running in his brother's mind.

“He wants to hand Xander to whatever evil that is chasing him since he is strong, powerful and capable of dealing it by himself.” Drax's voice is sharp, filled with bitterness as he continues.

“Since he is powerful, he must deal with it himself?

  • Rising From The Ashes   1 - An awkward Dinner

    If there was a way to make my nineteenth birthday memorable, then it must be this moment.My birthday cake is beautifully decorated and kept on the table in front of me.My mother sat opposite me on the chair, nervousness clearly shimmering in her eyes as she flash me a smile that lacks it's usual shine.My father stood against the kitchen counter with clenched fist.The angry lines on his face gave away the hatred he has for this very moment.The tension was thick in the air.I didn't know how to replace it with the usual silly environment."The candles are melting" Mom's low voice was like a soft caress to my ears."So is the chocolate"I flinched when Dad spoke.The harshness of his voice covered us with more thick tension."I'm sorry" He sighed, looking guilty.I don't blame him.No parent would be calm when their daughter's doing a deed in the house and the noises are way too loud to even avoid it."It's oka—My voice was overlapped by a familiar scream of my best friend followed by the

  • Rising From The Ashes   2- Nikona's Promise

    "Stop Elysia!" The command of Alpha Nikona forced me to halt my movements.I turned around and watched his big wolf moving towards me with slow and calculative movements."Does coming of age erased your memories or gave you over confidence because I clearly told everyone not to lurk around here"I hung my head low, hating having to be inferior to him.Maybe if I was not born an Omega then things could have been different.I wouldn't have to fear him and kick him in the ass for shit talking."I demand an answer, Elysia" He growls, moving further that I was taken aback and stumbled backwards to find myself slipping back into the water.I pull myself out of the water then coming back to stand on the ground.I shook myself to get rid of the water on my fur, almost forgetting the Alpha before me until a low growl had me seize again.I look at Nikona whose fur are now damp with water.I laughed but that short laugh dissipated in my own head at the striking force that sent me flying backwards and

    Humming a song to myself, I waited patiently in the Hall with Dad outside the Alpha's Office.Since I have completed High school, Dad suggested that I go University.I spent two weeks figuring out things before finally filling an application form.All I need is Alpha's permission to apply because heading to Human Realm was a big deal.The door opened and two men emerged from it, a wide grin on their faces as they walked until their eyes fell on us.Or to be precise on me."Unmated she-wolf" The taller one whispered, stuffing his hands into his pockets.He was nice looking, I would give him that but he was part of those typical egoistic men I dislike with a passion."A young pretty woman like you shouldn't be single—My Dad shifted himself away from the wall and stepped in between us before that man could come near me."Henry, don't hide her.You are aware of our Pack's situation.Fertile females are very rare and it's a necessity to breed the ones who are of age, she will have to be shared

    [ Tw - contain violence ]"Elysia where are my high heels? Oh my goodness! Is it a crease on my skirt?" Amia shouts while moving around in the room to look for her newly bought high heels."Check your closet" I reply boringly before applying eyeliner.Our bedroom was a mess making it a hard task for Amia to find her heels.I put the eyeliner back and grabbed the lipstick before applying it on my plump lips.I stood up and fixed my dress.I smiled in satisfaction at my reflection in the mirror.The sweetheart neckline was my favorite part of the gown, it certainly suits me a lot revealing a little of my cleavage.The long fabric of the skirt reaches till my ankles with a ribbon belt wrapped prettily around my waist.I did a twirl only for my feet to hit across something.I grimaced and looked down to the box.This is what Amia has been looking for.I lift the box and look around to see Amia still fumbling through her stuff."I found your heels" I exclaimed and she turned to me quickly.I threw

    I howl in agonizing pain when his sharp canines dig into my fur and a piece of my skin was chucked out.I thrash around in an attempt to free myself but to no avail.Another scream in the distance cringed my insides in fear.The voice belonged to Amia.I growl and bite the wolf on his head and with whatever strength I could muster, I throw him away.However he doesn't fall far than a couple of inches.I quickly got up on my four in order to run in the direction of Amia's audible screams but when stinging pain shot through my back, I move around to snarl at the wolf only to feel his canines pierce into my skin again.The pain so intense that my vision blurred with tears.I feel a heavy weight on my back which forces me down harshly on the muddy ground."Take her as well" A rough manly voice ripped through the air.My eyes darted up to the man who stood a couple of steps away.His skin was painted with countless scars, a long visible one starts from his cheek down to the neck.The menacing look

    I wrapped my arms around myself to cover the intimate parts of my body, absolutely stunned to have him in my room.Where the hell was Amia again and why would she let him in?"What are you doing here— no nevermind.Just get out" I blurted out in panic.He doesn't put an effort to move a single muscle.His eyes travel down my body.I quickly turn around and slide in the walk-in closet, ready to shut the see-through door when his sharp voice halters my movement."Stop"Hell no! Last time I stopped on his command at the waterfall, it didn't turn out in my favor.I slammed the door shut.Though the see-through door doesn't spare me from his intense gaze, it at least separates us.I turn to pick the bathrobe and put it on."Do you not hear me, Elysia?" I flinched, turning to find him near the door.Glowing eyes glaring through the glass-door.Not his wolf again."What do you want?" I ask, clutching the cotton fabric close to my chest."Open the door" He demands.Though his tone is gentle, the sheer

I have been with Nikona for more than three years.I might have dated him for my own benefits but I can't avoid the way I have started to feel for him.He is not just an object for my safety anymore.He is important to me.I care for him..I might even love him at this point..I didn't realised it before but when at the Ball, He hugged Elysia.. The way he looked at her..I don't like it.Even during the rogue attack.He approached her not me and did you not see how he didn't even say a hello or ask whether I was fine instead walked in the room to see Elysia..Mom he.. he had her cornered while she was naked..How can I not worry? How can I not feel pain?" She cried out."I can't even blame Elysia..I know her.I love her.I don't know what to do mom..

    "Let me go!" I shouted when he shoved me inside the car and slammed the door shut at my face.I feel a hand on my shoulder causing me to turn around.Amia's worry filled gaze locked with mine."Elysia please, stop.I am already scared of what he would do to you" She pleads."Town Square" Nikona gets in the car and instructs the driver.The car ride to the Town square was awfully quiet and filled with thick tension.Amia constantly fiddled with her finger while I could feel his burning gaze on me from the mirror.The car comes to a halt.Nikona steps out and walks to my door before opening it."Nikona.. please forgive her.I will talk to—Amia attempts to calm him but she seals her lips shut after receiving a death glare from the cold hearted man.He reaches for my arm, harshly pulling me out then proceeds to drag me in the center."Everyone out of your houses now!" He growls, alarming every pack member and within a few minutes, the Town square was crowded with people.Their curious eyes fixat

    Three days since I have announced new rules in the Pack.Having to constantly face their rudeness and arrogance towards anything I had to offer really pissed me off from time to time but I appeared calm most of the times to not let it be an disadvantage of mine.It is necessary to gain their trust.Right here in the Council Hall, I indulged myself to set this one rule straight and for the best.No Omega will be taken as a mate without consent and if someone breaks the rule then the punishment will be as severe as death.One rule and it has the council disagreeing and arguing over it.“Enough!” I slam the table, catching each one of their attention. Their eyes scream anger, crystal clear towards me.“I will not change my decision.This rule will be taken seriously.In Fact from this very given moment and those of you that disagree, I suggest to stop using your energy because nothing will make me change my mind” I announce sternly.“Omegas are not your Puppets.Learn to respect them or you'l

    Against my better judgment, I step inside and walk towards the windows to open them, letting the smoke clear out from the room.Behind me, I sense him move.Turning around, I set my eyes to his displeased frame now sitting on the bed and already staring at me with annoyance.“Did you not hear me?” He groaned, bringing the cigarette to his mouth.I rushed towards the bed and snatched the cigarette from his hand.Ignoring the shift of anger in his eyes, I throw the cigarette on the floor and step on it with my shoes.“I did hear you and I am not leaving” I affirm, holding my ground.Drax stares at me for a moment before laying down on the bed and fetches out a pack of cigarette from his pocket.Groaning in disbelief, I attempt to snatch the pack but he blocks me with his free arm.“Stop bothering me and go plan whatever the heck you want with Zion.Both of you suit each other.Dumb and dumber” He hissed bitterly before shoving my hand away.I didn't let his words hurt me rather I find it amusi

    We all sat in the living room as I shared my opinion regarding my son.Zion seems to be calm and positive about this revelation but on the other hand, Drax seems to be lost in a deep thought.His brows remain narrowed in a deep slits, lips pressed together into a thin line and hands resting against the armrest , tapping the fabric ever so slowly.“He isn't so boring after all” Xander's voice rings in the quiet room.Tearing my eyes off Drax, I glance around the room before sighing in distress.Ian might be gifted but it's still a scary thought.What if he ends up hurting himself? He is too young to understand anything.He could possibly harm himself.“As good as it appears to me, I think it would be better to not mention anything about using the gift to him.Just as you said, Ian responded to Xander's constant demand.If not under right guidance and protection, Ian can harm others and most specifically himself” Zion shared his piece of thoughts, which matches with my concern.“That's what I a

    I heard footsteps reaching up to me from behind. I turn around quickly only to bump my head into something firm.“Careful, sweetheart” Drax's soft voice wafts across my ears.I step back and look up at him.‘Ian.. Find him please” I hardly manage to push out the words as a lump formed in my throat.My nerves spiked with worry.Placing his both hands on my shoulders, Drax attempts to reassure. “We will find him, just don't forget to breathe”I nod slowly, before turning to the maid who looks just as concerned now. “Please check the mansion and inform me if you find Ian”She nods in return before turning to walk away into the corridor.Drax and I also started to search for Ian.After checking almost all the rooms, I couldn't hold back the tears anymore.I opened the last room and to my surprise, Zion was working out.Upon sensing my abrupt presence in his room, he stopped midway through his push-ups and looked at me.His confused eyes are replaced with concern real instant then he gets up t

    This might be the first time I enjoyed sex.It was a bliss to come undone in Drax's arms.He was just so into giving me pleasure that it turned me on even more.That's how I ended up going on with multiple orgasms.The faucet was already off, but the steam around us made the moment more intense.Drax kept his arm around me as I was resting on his lap with my back pressed against his chest.No words were exchanged between us except the gentle touches here and there.It felt truly relaxing.I slowly ran my fingers on his thigh in a slow circular pattern, noticing the way his muscles clenched and that simply made my core throb.I sigh, leaning my head against his shoulder.His lips slowly brush against my neck, then leaving lazy kisses down my shoulder.His hands leave my waist and move up to grab my breast.I sigh out loud, losing myself completely with his touch.My eyes flutter open when I feel his hardness beneath me.I was too sensitive but yet my body craved for more.I slowly started to grin

    Before I could trip down the porch of my parents house, I made sure to not let the impact cause any harm to Ian.I balance myself just fine before setting my gaze to my mother who had no remorse of her actions.Rage was plastered on every inch of her face that it hurt my chest physically to receive such a reaction from someone that loved me all these years.“Mom..”“Don't you dare call me that!” She screamed on top of her lungs, the noise so high pitched that Ian woke up and started crying.My mom's eyes shifted to Ian, her furious eyes almost melted but she inhaled a deep breath and pointed her finger at me.“Leave and don't ever show up.This is the least I expect from you”She attempts to slam the door shut but I move forward and hold the door before it could close.“Please… I didn't kill her.It was Nikona..I never meant for her to go through any of it.I swear, I begged him to let her live but he didn't” I was desperate to explain myself.To prove that I was not the one behind my best f

    Chapter 49“I don't understand” I whispered, not getting anything at all.The boy remains silent, just looking at me with the same blank face.“A shadow walker is something that is made by doing some horrific ritual through dark magic. It's impossible to succeed in it but if one do so, there's so much that can turn out wrong.This boy is epitome of evil.A Threat to us all”As Drax explains all about Shadow walker to me, I couldn't help but feel sad.He is just a little boy.The boy frowned, glaring at Drax in displease before walking towards us.That sets Drax into panic, he pushes me completely behind him and positions himself to fight the boy.“Drax this is‐ I pause mid sentence after hearing a low chuckle which came from the boy itself. “Your heart is beating too fast.Your head is running with countless thoughts and you are a couple minutes away from having a panic attack.How are you going to fight me when every remaining cell in your body screams for help” The boy says casually, h

    “You see, an arrogant filthy leader often has enemies within his supposedly loyal people” Drax says with a tint of amusement in his tone as he swiftly approaches me, pushing Nikona ‘s father to the side on his way.“Sweetheart, you did good.I got this from here” The tone of his voice softened as he stroked my cheek with his thumb.My heart swelled with relief.“I mixed wolfsbane with my own hands and saw you intake the meal then how is it possible to still not die!” Nikona exclaimed in anger.Drax laughed as he turned to him, keeping me behind.“I'm upset you did so much but didn't feed me with your hand.It would've been great” Drax jokes, his eyes flicking from Nikona to Zion who approaches him from behind and grabs the back of his neck, earning a painful hiss.“You are quite a fool to indulge yourself in a conversation other than thinking of ways to save yourself.But again, your rotten brain isn't used enough” Zion says before dragging Nikona to the wall and slams his head straight i
