🥀 CLARA'S POV 🥀My heart felt like it had been shattered into a million pieces, each one piercing my soul like a shard of glass. The pain was overwhelming, a crushing weight that threatened to consume me.I felt empty, and hollow, like a part of me had been ripped away. Every breath I took felt like a struggle, every beat of my heart a reminder that the person I love would never love me back.My heart was broken, extremely broken, and I didn't know how to put it back together again. All I could do was hold on to the fragments, and hope that someday, somehow, I would find a way to heal.Rather than going to Alpha Vargus's room, I went to Melonie.“Hey,” Melonie called out, “You good?”I went straight to the bed to rest, slamming my eyes shut.“Why aren't you with Alpha Vargus?” Melonie asked curiously.“I don't want to be with any of them right now,’’ I retorted. “Arlo or Alpha Vargus. Although I'd prefer to stay with Arlo… he doesn't want me.”“Take a rest baby,” Melonie calmly advi
🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀My voice caught in my throat, refusing to escape. I tried to speak, but the words got stuck, frozen in fear. My mouth opened, but only silence came out.I felt like I was drowning in my anxiety, unable to find the courage to utter a single word. My heart was racing, my palms sweating, and I was paralyzed by fear.The words swirled in my mind, a jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions, but I couldn't bring myself to give them a voice.My lips trembled, and my chin quivered, as I struggled to find the strength to speak.“Wh – what — what just happened,” I stammered.I slowly glanced at everyone, they looked terrified, maybe more than I am.“Okay — I agree, something is not right,” Lavanya muttered.“What kind of tornado is that?” Queen Manon voiced, “I could swear I saw fire in it.”“That wasn't just a tornado,” Bruno stated, “That was a person. She's called darkness, and she came from hell.”I bit my lower lips, “What???”“How did you — how do you know all this Bruno?
🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀My mind was a jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions, like a puzzle with too many missing pieces. I felt lost and disoriented, unsure of which direction to turn or what to do next.Everything seemed foggy and unclear, like trying to navigate through a thick mist. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was missing something important, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was.“If my twin brother, Alastor Aeron really wants me, why don't he just come to me and say it? And my father, Warrick Aeron… if he's alive when is he planning to make a move?” I thought.“Melonie?” Arwan's voice called out, walking towards me, he threw his arms around me, hugging me from behind, “I know you are worried.”“I can't help it,” I replied truthfully, “I'm always the root trouble and I'm scared they will really kick me out one day.”“Hey,” Arwan called, spinning me around to face him, “None of this is your fault, and you don't have to worry. I will never leave you or forsake you.”
🥀 CLARA'S POV 🥀Suddenly, I was in an old crampy building I knew was our home, it was deep in the woods. When my parents left, all my twin sister and myself had left was this home.“What happened?” I thought in confusion.I remember, standing right there when mrs darkness was summoned and all of a sudden, I was in my past.“Am I hallucinating?” I reasoned out, but it felt real.I picked up a piece of wood and dug it into my skin and I immediately regretted it.I cried out in pain as blood spewed out of the injury, “What is this? I voiced, Doesn’t that mean everything that happens to me here is real? If I die here… then I'm really dead.” I thought. It wasn't long until I coupled together what was actually happening, "I was in a game manipulated by darkness and it all started when she asked this question, what is your biggest fear?”I walked into the old crappy building, and terrible memories that had long traumatized me came flooding back in.Just as suddenly as it all started, I sa
🥀 OTHELLO'S POV 🥀Everything changed in a twinkle of an eye, my fragile heart was beating rapidly.I looked around anxiously and I clearly remember the moment, “I – It's – it's happening again,” I stammered.I held one arm with the other arm, trying to stop myself from opening the door for my dead mother who only came back to life to kill me.“My son, let me in… let me make up for the time we've lost,” her voice rang out.I struggled, with sweaty palms and peed pants, “Go away!” I muttered, breathing heavily.My hands skipped off the door and my mother walked in with a crazy grin on her face.I collapsed to the ground, crawling behind a desk in the room, “You still haven't changed? Always hiding and weeping. Who would save you now?” She mocked.“Stay away,” I cried out, shivering in fear.She brought out her hand, and with a smirk, she launched at me.I slammed my eyes shut, feeling weak and vulnerable. There was nothing I could do but await her blow.“That's my property.” A hoarse
🥀 ARWAN'S POV 🥀I stood in between the two doors, I was nothing but confused, so confused that I almost passed out in anxiety.Darkness words re-vibrated in my head, “You can only choose one door, one leads to Melonie and the other Leads to your family. If you choose Melonie, the rest of your family would die, if you choose your family, Melonie would die. And if any of them dies before you get there… they are dead in the real world also.”Deep down, I knew I was making a hard decision: to choose between the person I love and the people I love. Who would I save, and who would I forsake?I clenched my jaw, my shirt was covered in sweat and my body felt hot from the pressure, and yet — I didn't have much time.I slammed my eyes shut, with sweaty palms and my heart beating fast, I twisted the door knob and pushed a door open, slowly walking into the weird dimension and making my choice.I walked through the woods, it was gentle and quiet until suddenly, I heard Clara's voice, screaming
🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀I felt the tears welling up inside me, a dam about to burst. I tried to hold them back, to stem the tide of emotions that threatened to overwhelm me. But it was no use. The floodgates opened, and I was consumed by a torrent of grief.I sobbed uncontrollably, my body shaking with each ragged breath. Tears streamed down my face, hot and salty, as I wailed in anguish. I felt like I was drowning in my own sorrow, unable to escape the crushing weight of my emotions.I tried to speak, to cry out for help or comfort, but my words were lost in the storm of tears. I was alone, adrift in a sea of pain.Once again, I was killing everyone, I was wiping off the realm I swore to protect, and my hands were filled with blood, the blood of people who trusted and depended on me.I destroyed everything.“Somebody please stop me.” I cried out, trying everything to stop myself but I couldn't.I was being controlled to kill, to kill people I love.Suddenly, the chapter ended, and I was
🥀 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
🥀 CLARA’S POV 🥀I was nervous. In a few hours, I'll be married… or not. It depends.Melonie walked towards me, “Everything for the wedding is ready, are you sure about this?”“What do I say?” I murmured, “I can't keep clinging onto Arlo forever… I'll be fine. Alpha Vargus is a nice guy, I'll fall for him in the process.”“You can't be so sure. I think you would be head over heels in love with him by now if that was possible,” She pointed out.“Hmm, life Doesn't always go the way we want it to. In my next life, I want to be a spoon. That way I'll be able to taste delicious foods without having to feel any pain.” I retorted.Out of nowhere, Alpha Vargus walked in with an extremely handsome man walking behind him.The man stood tall, his commanding presence drawing attention from everyone around him. His chiselled features were perfectly proportioned, with high cheekbones, a strong jawline, and a small, pointed chin.His eyes were a deep, piercing blue, fringed with thick lashes that a
🥀 CLARA'S POV 🥀I stood there, frozen in shock, as he dropped to his knees. My mind was reeling, trying to process what was happening, we were fucking in the middle of a burial, of course, unless it didn’t mean anything to him.I stood there, unsure of what I heard, “Did you just talk about marriage?” I asked to be sure.“Yes Clara,” he calmly responded, “I did. Let's get married.”“Sorry to intervene in your pathetic love life,” Melonie excused, “But this is ridiculous, how can you think or talk about marriage at such a time like this? Were you waiting for Manon to die? We are mourning the loss of one of us!”“Can you please not do this Melonie,” Alpha Vargus retorted, “This is about me and Clara.”“Why are you so desperate to be married to her?” Melonie attacked, “She Doesn't even like you.”“Melonie,” I called, “Please excuse us.”She made an irritated face, nodded and stormed away, clearly not feeling it.I faced Alpha Vargus with raised eyebrows, “What was that about?”“You pro
🥀 LAVANYA'S POV 🥀It was the end for me, I was going crazy.I sat there, unable to speak or cry. I just gawked at the dead body of my lover covered in a pool of blood.If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered to fall in love. But she asked me out first. How could I have declined when she was being so cute?I felt the tension building up inside me, like a dam ready to burst. The emotions had been simmering for so long, and now they were finally reaching a boiling point. I took a deep breath, and then I let it all out."AHHHHHHHHH!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, the sound echoing through the air and waking up every living sleeping soul in the building. It was a primal, raw, and unbridled release of emotion. I felt like I was unleashing a torrent of pent-up feelings, letting go of all the stress, anxiety, and frustration that had been weighing me down.My voice was hoarse and strained, but I didn't care. I screamed again, and again, and again, and finally, I burst into helpless t
🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀The air was thick with a palpable sense of sadness and melancholy. Everyone I looked at seemed to be ogling at Queen Manon with a cloud of despair hanging over their heads.Faces were etched with worry and concern, eyes cast upward as if the weight of the world was bearing down on them. The usual chatter and laughter that filled the space was eerily absent, replaced by an oppressive silence that seemed to suffocate the very life out of everyone.Even the brightest and most cheerful of individuals seemed to be struggling to find a smile. Their usual spark was dimmed, replaced by a dullness that seemed to seep into every pore.The atmosphere was heavy with a sense of hopelessness as if everyone had lost their way and was stumbling through the darkness, searching for a glimmer of light. Every step seemed to be a struggle, every breath a chore.As I looked at Queen Manon, I couldn't help but feel a sense of despair wash over me. I pitied her.“I would really appreciate
🥀 LAVANYA'S POV 🥀I threw my hands to cover my mouth, my eyes widened and swollen with emotions.I ran back to the room, collapsing to the bed. Tears streamed down my face, and my body shook with sobs, each one wrecking my chest with a deep agonizing ache.I cried desperately as if the tears could wash away the pain and sorrow that consumed me.My eyes burned, my throat constricted, and my breath came in ragged gasps.The door clicked open, and Queen Manon walked in, I froze, not daring to make a sound, I just pretended to be asleep and she quietly walked to the bathroom to wash off the blood and then lay beside me.I was tongue-tied but screaming on the inside. I gripped the sheet tightly and after a few hours I quietly called, “Manon.”“Hmm,” she responded, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”“I just woke up,” I replied, “Did you go somewhere? When I woke up, I didn’t find you in bed.”“No,” she moaned, “I have been asleep all through, I don’t know why I feel more tired than when I slept t
🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀The situation went from bad to worse, day by day werewolves were killed by this undiscovered killer.Alpha Vargus wasn't happy that his people were dying, so he became a bodyguard every night in an attempt to protect his people, but last night… he was knocked out of consciousness by this killer.I paced around the hall, “Has anyone noticed their partner leaving the room at midnight recently?” I asked.Lavanya jingled her head in refusal, “I don’t think so, it would have been reported.”“This is bullshit!” Alpha Vargus yelled, “This is just so crazy.”“Calm down Vargus,” Arwan whispered.“I dare you to tell me to calm down again,” Alpha Vargus menacingly muttered, “This is your fault. Bad Luck and bad things keep happening because of you.”Arwan fired back, “How’s any of these my fault?” “You failed to coordinate your people as a leader,” Alpha Vargus snapped back.“You must be fucking kidding me,” Arwan growled.“Can you stop fighting, please?” Queen Manon cried o
🥀 MELONIE’S POV 🥀The loud roaring cries of werewolves got me jumping out of my sleep, Arwan also jolted awake, “What’s happening?” he asked.“I don’t know, I suddenly woke up hearing such a thunderous cry coming from outside,” I responded.Arwan inhaled sharply, “Can I get at least one night of good sleep? Things keep happening and it’s just so tiring.”The loudness of the scream increased and couldn’t be ignored.All of a sudden, a loud bang sounded on the door and Alpha Vargus stormed in, “Something is not right, my people are in tears.”“Fuck! Not again,” I growled.Bruno also rushed in, “You all need to see this.”“See what? They are just crying, it could be tears of joy, they are just very happy we fought Lucifer and came back alive,” Arwan snarled, lying back down.“It has to do with death, Arwan,” Alpha Vargus yelled.My eyes widened in horror and Arwan flew up from bed, “Let’s go,” he commanded.We stormed out, and the sound of weeping filled the air as werewolves gathered
🥀 BRUNO'S POV 🥀I puffed out a sigh of relief, everything had gone back to the way it should be. I looked at Bruno who was peacefully sleeping beside me.Lucifer's voice replayed in my mind, “Are you any better than them? You are in love with a man – isn’t that wrong?”“What do I do now? I’m so in love with him and I can’t seem to stop myself,” I murmured.I cupped his face in my arms, tracing his jawline with my fingers, and then his lips, lustfully ogling at them. Without hesitating, I laid mine on his.As our lips met, the world around us burnt away, leaving just the two of us, lost in the thickness of our passion.Time slowed down, allowing us to savour every moment, sensation, and taste.I gently brushed my lips against his, feeling the softness of his skin, and the warmth of his breath.Suddenly, he parted his lips, inviting me in, a soft grin spread across my face and I accepted, my tongue dancing with his in a slow, sensual movement.As we kissed, I felt like I was devouring
🥀 BRUNO'S POV 🥀I looked at Othello, “Why did you come? 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
