🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀

I slowly opened my eyes to the bright light that was threatening to blindfold me.

“Why am I not dead?” I reasoned out, “Confused.”

I looked around, it was like I was Seventeen again, when it hadn't all started.

“Melonie!” A young woman's voice sounded out.

Although it had been a while, I recognized the voice promptly, it was my adopted mother.

She walked into my room, “Your food will get cold, aren't you hungry?”

“Mum,” I slowly called, tears welling up in my eyes, “Mother.”

I ran towards her and threw my arms around her, “Mother…” I cried out.

“Why are you acting weird?” She asked with a chuckle, “You suddenly woke up after sleeping for a few hours and you are acting like you haven't seen me in ages.”

I stood there, I knew I was forgetting something, I knew although it all felt real it was just bait.

“Mum, you died a long time ago. The day I turned eighteen,” I blurted out.

“What nonsense are you saying? You are not even eighteen yet, you are Seventeen.” She calml

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀I stood firm, my feet rooted to the spot, as I gazed into Arwan's eyes.Bruno's words still lingered in my mind, "There's nothing more we can do. It's time to say goodbye." But I couldn't bring myself to accept it. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving him, who had been by my side through thick and thin, to face the unknown alone.I took his hand in mine, feeling the coldness of his skin.Clara tried to coax me away, promising to take good care of Arwan, but I shook my head. "I'm not leaving," I said, my voice firm but trembling with emotion.I leaned closer to Arwan, “Everyone is awake now, it's your turn to wake up,” I whispered.“What happened to him?” I asked, without turning back at Clara who stood behind me.She kept quiet for a while and said, “He fell down a cliff while trying to save Lavanya.”I nodded in understanding, picking myself up, I stormed out of the room and launched towards Bruno.“Summon the darkness,” I yelled. She started this stupid game; s

They've been waiting and have been so worried about you." He pulled me closer to him, nuzzling his face on my neck. I giggled, t

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀It was a fast night, the time you desperately want to freeze, ends up speeding away.I gawked at Arwan's sleeping face, he seemed to be the only person I am forever going to be anxious and worried about.“Good morning,” I murmured, kissing his forehead.As I tried to get up, Arwan held me tighter, and just then… Othello walks in.His face contorted in a mixture of shock and confusion, he threw his head back and unleashed a scream that shook the very foundations of the air around him. The sound was primal, raw, and unbridled, a cacophony of emotion that poured out of him like a torrent.His eyes bulged, and his veins popped. The sound was so intense, so piercing that I hurriedly covered my ears and Arwan flew up from bed… Naked. I hurriedly threw the blanket at him.“He's awake and you kept it a secret,” Othello roared, “I came to check if he was dead! And what? You had sex with him…”The scream was so effective that everyone rushed in, staring at me like a criminal

Feelings are unintentional and I literally forced you into dating me… I understand.” He responded calmly.A sad smile spread across my face, “I'm sorry Vargus, you deserve better.”He walked closer to me, “You don't have to be,” he said, holding my hands. “Clara, let's get married and mated to each other, I know when time passes… you'll grow to love me.”I nodded in agreement, pulling him

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀 Everyone paused, our mouths hanging open in mid-sentence. We all gazed at Bruno with mixed feelings, shock, fear and anxiety.The sudden quiet was almost palpable, a physical presence that seemed to press down on everyone. The silence was so complete that the smallest sounds became amplified. Even the sound of people's breathing seemed to take on a rhythmic quality as if the entire room was inhaling and exhaling in unison.As the silence stretched out, we all began to exchange nervous glances. But no one spoke. The silence continued to grow until it seemed to take on a life of its own. It was as if the room was holding its breath, waiting for something that would shatter the silence and restore the lively atmosphere that had been present just moments before.“Why is no one saying anything?” Bruno muttered.“You are half demon?” Othello blurted out, breaking the Silence.“I'm sorry, I couldn't… I - I've been trying to deny it all my life.” Bruno explained.Othell

I understand better now so I have forgiven him. I don't want to lose him.” We exchanged glances but kept mute.“Where's he?” Othello asked. I need to tell him I'm not mad so we can move on with our lives—I love him so much.”We exchanged glances again but still didn't know how to break the news that his boyfriend h

I could feel the weight of history bearing down on me, the accumulated fears and sorrows of the countless people who had entered this place.I was trapped.Trembling, I took a step, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, my breath coming in short, sharp gasps. The flying weird and huge bird attempted to come down to attack but flew back up, and the shadows dancing around seemed to be closing in.I shivered in fear, biting my lower lips. My clothes were soaked with sweat and I could barely work well because of my trembling feet and body.Now, I see why Bruno wasn't scared of anything, it was definitely because he was born in hell.I felt weak, although I was normal

You don't have powers here.”“I know,” he muttered, “Regardless, I came to save you.”Dragging himself up, he stood in front of me with a blood-stained face, and pushed me behind him, “If you want to get to him… you'll have to pass through me first.”“Othello…” I voiced.“Stay out of it Bruno…” he snapped back, “It's my turn to save you.” “You don't think you can fight me, do you?” Lucifer asked, smiling in satisfaction, “You are so weak, you don't have your powers here, and you are injured.”“I'd rather die trying,” Othello retorted, “You'll have to pass through me first.”“Us too!” A voice echoed out.I turned around in shock. There, Arwan, Melonie, Arlo, Clara, Alpha Vargus, Queen Manon, and Lavanya stood wounded but fearless.“You both weren't thinking we would leave you here, right?” Melonie uttered, “We are stuck together, and even Lucifer can't tear us apart.”“Hi Luci,” Queen Manon called, “We came to collect what you

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀My heart skipped a beat as I felt a shiver run down my spine. Finally, the person I was warned about had decided to show up, the evil side of me that feeds on nothing but destruction.He was taller than I had expected, with piercing eyes that seemed to bore into my soul. His smile was charming, but it didn't quite reach his eyes, leaving me with a sense of unease.I felt a surge of adrenaline as I stood frozen, unsure of what to do next. Part of me wanted to turn and run, to get as far away from him as possible. But another part of me was curious, wanting to know more about this being who had sparked so much fear and fascination.As I stood there, he began to move towards me, his eyes never leaving mine. I felt a sense of trepidation, unsure of what to expect. Was he going to hurt me, or was he just going to try and charm me?I took a deep breath and stood my ground, trying to appear braver than I felt. As he approached me, I could feel my heart pounding in my ches

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀I stood frozen, my ears ringing with the crazy words I heard but was trying to unhear.The room around me seemed to fade away, and all that was left was the sound of my own heartbeat, pounding in my chest like a drum.The words themselves seemed to echo through my mind, a cruel and heartless refrain that I couldn't shake. "I buried him." "He's better off dead." "That's what's best for all of us."All the air was knocked out of me. My lungs burned, and my eyes stung with tears that I couldn't hold back.I tried to speak, to ask for clarification or to plead for a different outcome. But my voice was caught in my throat, and all that came out was a strangled sob.I felt like my world had been shattered, like everything I thought I knew had been turned upside down. I was left standing amidst the wreckage, trying to make sense of the ruins.As the reality of the situation began to sink in, I felt a wave of grief wash over me. It was a heavy, crushing weight that consume

    🥀 ARWAN'S POV 🥀As I stood there, my mind racing with thoughts of the unknown, I couldn't shake off the feeling of dread that had settled in the pit of my stomach. The development of this child, who had been delivered a few days before, was already too advanced; he was like a year old in two days.My heart was racing, my palms were sweating, and worst-case scenarios consumed my thoughts. What if this is the worst mistake we could ever make? What if this child is nothing but sorrow? What if we die in the process? I felt anxious, scared, and overwhelmed. I just wanted to hide, to escape from the uncertainty and the fear that was gripping me. But I knew I couldn't. I had to face my fears, to push through the anxiety and find a way to make it work.I gawked at the baby in Lavanya's arms. She was scared but the fact that she was staring at the child seemed to calm her down.Arlo walked into the room, Clara rushing behind, “Why did you stop?” Clara yelled.Arlo looked back at her and sm

    🥀 ARWAN'S POV 🥀The room fell silent as our eyes fixed on the unbelievable sight before us. Gasps and whispers filled the air as we all struggled to comprehend what we were seeing.The baby seemed to defy explanation, a mesmerising sight that drew in every gaze like a magnet. It was as if time itself had frozen, leaving only stunned silence and awestruck stares.My mouth hung open, and my face was pale with wonder. Lavanya's eyes were wide with excitement, and her pupils dilated as she took in every detail.Clara looked like she was about to faint, her legs trembling beneath her as she struggled to remain upright.“I'll take the child and clean him up,” Lavanya blurted out, stretching her arms.I gawked at her, “Be careful Lavanya.”“Oh c'mon,” she snapped back, “He's just a cute little baby.”“That eats flesh and blood,” Alpha Vargus added, causing Lavanya to roll her eyes.“Wh -why does he look like… an angel?” Clara muttered.I looked at Melonie, she was unconscious. The witch no

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀I felt more alive, it was as if blood was the medicine I should have taken since the beginning of my horrifying pregnancy. I looked down at the empty bowls of blood on the ground. I could tell that such an amount of blood didn’t come from one or two people, it definitely came from tons of people and lives.They say blood is the life force that flows through mortal veins and the essence of life itself, so why blood? I looked at my growing belly, my hunger and thirst did not stop, but I wasn’t hungry for food or water, I was hungry for blood. The same thing that disgusted me, but somehow, I was enjoying it.It did disgust me, but it didn’t disgust the child I was carrying.“Should I really give birth to this child?” I thought, “What if I’m making a mistake because I don’t want my daughter dead? What if I’m protecting this child because of the fact that I’m the one carrying it?I reached for another bowl of blood, gulped it down without thinking twice, and felt even

First, we need to find a way to feed her.”At the mention of food, I began to throw up, but there was nothing in my tummy to vomit, so it was extremely painful, I just kept screaming and crying.“I don't think the child wants food,” the witch reasoned out.“If not food, then what the hell does she want?” Arwan barked.“Blood… human blood,” Bruno announced.“Hell no! I'm not in for this,” Arwan snarled.“No wayyyyy…” Lavanya gasped.“We don't know that yet, Arwan. Let's just give it a try,” Clara added.“Human blood??? Blood??? What is it? A vampire?” Arwan yelled back.“No, she's not a vampire and we are just giving it a try,” the witch retorted.Arwan walked closer to the witch, “Well the answer is n

When she's born, I'll name her Ariel or Agatha,” I calmly announced, “Even if I'm no more, you'll have her by your side.”“You must be delusional to think that I'll love that thing if it kills you,” Arwan retorted, “I'll leave you with the witch, and by the time I come back… I hope that thing is gone.”Arwan stormed out of the room, and I gawked at the witch.“Leave!” I commanded.“Melonie, listen to me,” she started. I regret everything I did in the past. I was only trying to find a means to protect myself. That's why I didn't c

It was as if time had stopped, and all that existed was the shock and disbelief that coursed through my veins.“What do you mean… pregnant Lavanya?” I blurted out, breaking the silence.“What do you mean? What do I mean?” Lavanya responded, “I've seen a lot of pregnant women… you are one of them, look at your baby bump.”“Exactly,” Arwan retorted, “There shouldn't be a bump yet. She's literally a day pregnant.”“It's growing so fast, every minute,” Clara blurted out.“Is that okay?” I asked fearfully, “Is this how fast a baby grows in your world? I mean, for humans… It's nine months.”“Of Course, it's not okay… you are the dragon wolf, and Arwan is a fucking ancient lycanthropic dragon,” Bruno interrupted, “That seems very abnormal… just like you, it shouldn't be born.”“It?” I whispered.“Melonie, calm down,” Lavanya muttered. It's nine months in our world, too… I don't know why it's growing

    🥀 CLARA'S POV 🥀I stood before him, my words trembling on my lips. I knew what I was about to say would shatter his world, and crush the love and trust he had placed in me.As I looked into his eyes, I saw the innocence, the vulnerability, and the adoration that shone brightly within them. And I knew that I was about to extinguish that light, to snuff out the flame of love that had burned so brightly.I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the pain I was about to inflict. "I'm sorry," I whispered, the words feeling like ash in my mouth. "I'm too in love with Arlo, I can't love you back… ever."The words hung in the air like a challenge, a cruel and heartless declaration that left him reeling. I watched in horror as his face crumpled, as the tears began to flow, and as his world came crashing down around him.He looked at me with eyes that were filled with shock, with pain, and with betrayal. "How could you?" he whispered, his voice trembling with anguish. "How could you do this t
