last update Last Updated: 2024-12-10 14:04:03

🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀

My transformation was calmly activated, and I felt even better and stronger, probably because of the kiss. Does he know? Is he aware he is my activator?

I stared at those who came along with Arwan, they looked stunned, especially Arlo, he looked lifeless and pale.

“Let's go,” Arwan stated softly, pulling my hand.

“No,” I responded in refusal, “there's something I want to do.”

“The witch ran away, and you already killed the werewolf,” Arwan announced. “What else do you want to do?”

“You can come out now,” I yelled into the void, and the young girl walked out.

Her tiny voice rang out, “What happened to Mama?”

I shook my head, “She's not your mama alright, that's a wicked witch trying to make you a weapon. You cannot be like her.”

She nodded in understanding, “My name is Gemma. I won't be like her. Can I go with you?”

I stared at Arwan, waiting for answers and he nodded. I smiled, “Yes, you can come with me.”

She jumped in excitement, “So you will be my mama now?”

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀As I watched Lavanya laugh and chat with ease with Arwan, a pang of jealousy shot through my chest. It was a feeling I wasn't proud of, but couldn't seem to shake it off.She was everything I wanted to be - confident, charismatic, and carefree. Her smile could light up a room, and her presence seemed to draw people to her like a magnet.I, on the other hand, felt like I was stuck in the shadows. I was always the one observing from the sidelines, never quite sure how to insert myself into the conversation.I walked towards Arwan, staring at Lavanya who stood beside Arwan clutching at his arm in the most threatening way possible.I parted my lips, “Where did you go with her?”My gaze fell on his lips, and memories of what happened in the witch's realm flooded back in.I shook my head, in an attempt to deactivate that feeling.“I simply went to inspect the building with Lavanya,” Arwan responded calmly, walking past me.I pulled him back, “We need to talk, Arwan.”“Ok

He likes me! He's mine now! Doesn't this mean we are in a relationship now? Who's Lavanya? He's all mine!” she thought, grinning.I chuckled, it was childish and cute, if only she knew I heard her thoughts.She ran towards me, “Arwan,” she called out, with red cheeks.“Hmm,” I responded, smiling back.“You said you liked me yesterday,” she said, “Is it true?”A chortle escaped my lips, “Yes,” I murmured.“Okay… say it,” she pushed.“I love you, Melonie,” I whispered.“Louder, I can't hear you,” she retorted, holding her ears.“I love you Melonie Aeron,” I yelled out.Arlo gawked at us, rolled his eyes and walked away, Lavanya also followed, pouting.“Then kiss me,” Melonie blurted out.I snapped at her, “huh?”“Hurry,” she yelled with a frown.“Okay… look away!” I pleaded, “It's getting embarrassing

This is very rare; I'm privileged to experience it once all my life.”“Who the heck would have done this?” Bruno murmured. "For an angel to cry for help, it's something very serious."“An angel was locked and is desperately crying for help,” Arwan stated, “Angels seem to be connected to you Melonie.”“Why?” I asked curiously.“Because you are pure,” Arlo responded calmly.“If an Angel is crying to me for help, Doesn’t that mean I'm supposed to help?” I reasoned out.“Perhaps,” Othello said shortly.“Then why did it affect you?” I asked, ogling at Arwan. “I saw you fall to the ground and covered y

Why is it that the fathers always have problems? My proclaimed father stood there, gawking at me with a satisfied face, “You can't fight back now, by the time you will be able to activate on your own… you won't even remember the man you claim to love.”“What are you waiting for? Kill me now. I heard you want me dead,” I roared fearlessly.He shook his head and smiled, “No Melonie, you and the people around you misunderstood. They misled you and made you believe that I wanted you dead. And I shall punish them for misleading my daughter. I only wanted the best for you.”“Don't you dare lay a finger on them,” I growled back.“I won't – you will. You will destroy the place you call home with your own hands.” He declared with a satisfied laugh.My eyes were filled with disgust, “There’s nothing you would do that would make m

    🥀 ARWAN'S POV 🥀I woke up to an empty silence. The buildings outside mine were bustling with life, but a hollow echo was in my heart. It was as if a part of me was missing, a piece I couldn't quite grasp.I went about my day, trying to shake off the feeling. I dressed, ate breakfast, and headed out to meet friends. But no matter what I did, the sensation lingered. It was like a gentle hum in the background, a reminder that something was off.I tried to fill the void with distractions. I strolled through the realm, talked to people, and read books. But nothing seemed to fill the gap. It was as if I was searching for a puzzle piece that didn't exist.As the day wore on, the feeling grew stronger. It was like a whisper in my ear, reminding me of what was missing. I couldn't shake the sense that I was incomplete, that a part of me was wandering around, lost and alone.I looked around me, wondering if anyone else felt the same way. Did they too feel like they were missing a piece of them

    🥀 ARWAN'S POV 🥀I stood in stunned silence, my mind reeling from what I had just seen. The empty, destroyed surroundings seemed to fade away, leaving only the stark, harsh reality of the calamity that had befallen us.They are all dead, hundreds and thousands of people are dead and burnt, some had no heart, Melonie had dug them out, some faces had been burnt, and I could barely recognise them.Adults and children were murdered in cold blood.My breath was knocked out of me. My thoughts were a jumbled mess, unable to process the enormity of the scene that had just played out.“That was my Melonie – right?" I whispered; my voice barely audible.The words echoed in my mind, refusing to sink in. It was as if I was trapped in a nightmare, unable to wake up from the horror that was unfolding before me.I hit my chest in accumulated pain, as though my heart was threatening to discharge violently.Othello walked closer, pulling my arm to attract my attention, “Arwan you are trembling.”I tr

    🥀 OTHELLO'S POV 🥀We walked into our room with a very awkward atmosphere. Bruno had glanced at me coldly earlier when Clara announced that I was gay; is he that irritated? To think that the person I like is irritated that I'm gay, confessing is definitely a no. It would only make things even more awkward, and I'd only get hurt from disappointment and high expectations.Silence descended. We both lay at each edge of the bed, breathing slowly, and I desperately avoided his gaze.I felt ashamed and stupid, “Clara… that witch.Uncomfortable, I stood up abruptly, “I'll use the floor,” I announced, picking myself from the bed.Bruno dragged me back, and I landed on his bare chest, one hand firmly pulled me to himself and the other hand patted my hair to sleep.“I'm struggling to breathe in this position,” I became tongue-tied.He didn't let me go, instead, he pulled me even closer, “Why?” He muttered, “Because you like me so much and your heart is threatening to burst?”Mesmerised, I forc

    🥀 CLARA'S POV 🥀I stared at the person beside me. He was frozen in place, not wanting to move or turn around. He just stayed still, his back facing me.“Arlo?” I calmly called out.“Just sleep,” he retorted, “I'd rather not talk.”“Why?” I snapped. “Ever since Melonie turned you down, you have become cold and a shadow to yourself.”“I told you I'd rather not talk,” he mumbled, covering his ears.“Well, I'd rather talk it out,” I responded, dragging his hands from his ears.“So what if you liked her?” I growled, “She doesn't like you back; it takes two for a relationship to work.”“We have been friends for eighteen years.” Arlo snapped back, sitting up. “For eighteen years I have stayed by her side hoping we'd be something more than friends; for eighteen years, I've secretly loved her.”“You were told to watch over her, protect her, and not develop feelings… you can't tell a young girl who to love.” I calmly stated.Arlo roared, “So, you are saying it's my fault?

    🥀 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

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

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

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
