The moment that I opened my eyes all I see was darkness. There was no sound, and no light to guide me. I felt the cold chills running over my body as I blindly walk in the darkness.All I can remember was the big black wolf standing in the middle of the road. I know that I have seen a lot of wolves in my life, even rogue wolves but there was something unnerving with this one. It was like the wolf know me even though it was the first time that I had met it. The way his eyes stare me down. It felt like he was getting into the depths of the most hidden parts of me and knowing that scared me. I remember avoiding it when I turned my steering wheel in the opposite direction and the next thing I know was that I was heading straight for the big tree by the side of the road. Everything happened so fast that I have no time to avoid hitting the tree. The impact was strong that I hit my head on the side window of my car. It hurt so much but I saw glimpses of what happened next. I remember ho
After the accident, my life became a constant loop of dreams, seeing my wolf flirt with DK as one of them, meeting a woman I didn’t know, and watching Mikey as he controls his patience whenever my wolf, Persephone, gets angry at him. I know that seeing me wrap my arms around another man was not an easy thing for him. And I find it surprising that he was not doing anything at all to stop it. At the end of the day, I try to get back control over my body from my wolf, but always end up in failure. Every day I try my best to talk to my wolf and come up with some kind of a deal so that we can both live together in harmony but she wouldn’t listen to me. “Why don’t we sleep in the same bed?” Persephone purrs as she asks DK. “I don’t feel sleepy,” DK answers with a smile. “Then let me rephrase my question,” Persephone said as she moves closer to DK, “Why not have a good time with me?”“I am having a good time with you right now,” DK said with a smile, but his eyes were teasing, “Talking
“Hey, baby,” DK said softly waking me up. I can feel Persephone’s happiness the moment that her eyes met DK’s. I have to admit that it was kind of weird to see DK acting the way he is acting right now but what was weirder was being able to feel what Persephone was feeling. I know that I was supposed to feel what she feels and she was supposed to feel what I feel, that is one of the things that makes us one. I also have to admit that feeling it now feels a bit awkward and unfamiliar, but the good thing is I am slowly understanding my wolf more and why she felt the way she is feeling.It would have been nicer though if she was doing all the flirting with someone that I like as well because right, I feel like I was like a third wheel in a romantic story. Despite the awkward feelings, the more time that I spend time with DK, the more I get to know him. I know who is and what he can do, but only those that he lets me see. Right now, he was keeping his promise to Persephone and I have to a
‘Grant me one night with DK.’I never thought that my wolf would finally talk to me or even meet me. But here we are inside of my human body, staring at each other, without blinking. ‘That’s all I ask,’ Persephone said, ‘And I’ll give back your body and even surrender control to you. One with DK, that’s all.’I don’t really know what it is about DK that she’s very obsessed with. I stare at my wolf, who by the way exhibits elegance and authority despite being my wolf. Every inch of her was beautiful. Her white fur looks so soft that it follows, in a graceful manner, every movement that she makes. She was definitely a head-turner. Despite her beautiful facade, what really makes her stand out was her eyes. And to my surprise, it was almost the same shade as DK’s eyes.‘You know that I can’t do that,’ I said.‘I am being nice you know,’ Persephone said, ‘Because my DK wants me to be nice to you.’‘Do you really think that DK will just let you have your way with my body?’ I asked becaus
“Hades.” He said his name was Hades. After he had saved me from my asshole of a boyfriend, I never saw my parents again. I remember my father telling me that I was supposed to be married to him, but ever since I came here, he never mentioned it and I don’t have enough courage to ask him. I heard some of the workers in the castle while I was roaming around that I was the prince’s prisoner. That I was the payment for the debt of my father. Hearing what they say hurt me and I finally understood why my parents didn’t even bother reaching out to me. Didn’t bother to check if I was still alive or breathing. But they got one thing wrong. I never felt, even once, that I was a prisoner here. Hades never asked for much except that when he was in the palace, I was to eat with him. We never talk though and I never tried opening a conversation with him. We just sat there and ate in silence. I began to get used to eating with him and I started to look forward to having meals with him. It was
*Anya*I stood as a witness to how Hades and Persephone slowly blossomed. The way that the cold and dark prince slowly softens while the fragile Persephone slowly becomes stronger. It was as if they were Fated with each other, destined to be broken so that they could be a better version of themselves.The memory swiftly moved to a memory so dark that Persephone tried to hide it. Everywhere she looked there was Chaos. I watched as the Dark Palace was filled with wounded soldiers lying in any open space of the place. I watched as Persephone helped the wounded. As the night fell she stood by the balcony that oversees the entrance of the estate, stood there for a long time as if she was waiting for someone. I can feel the worry in her heart as she says a silent prayer for the love she has found to come back. She repeated the same thing every day and stood by the balcony waiting for the Dark Prince every time the sunset. On the fourth day, her wish finally came true as the Dark Princ
I pulled back from Persephone’s memory and angrily looked at her and found her giving me that mischievous smile. “Do you really have to show me that?” I asked angrily. But instead of giving me an answer she tipped her head back and laughed. “I’m sorry,” she said the moment she calmed down. “You think this is funny?” I asked her, still pissed off. “I am not trying to be funny,” she replied, as she found her composure back. “But you have to see that to understand everything,” she started to explain. “You can just explain it to me, you know,” I said. “Now that wouldn’t be fun,” she said.I just stared at her face without saying a word. “Okay, okay,” she said finally giving up. “No more sex memories,” she said.And once again she shared her memories with me. **********PersephoneAfter that night my Dark Prince and I got a lot closer. I continued to learn how to fight not because I needed it, but for protection when he was not around. Aside from teaching me how to wield a sword
AnyaI can feel Persephone’s feelings for the Dark Prince get stronger and stronger. And I can also see how the Dark Prince’s feelings for Persephone get deeper and deeper. Two broken souls who found solace in each other.They are two perfect halves that were meant to be together. But not everyone sees it that way.For others, they see the two of them as a threat. One of them yields death while the other yields life. No one noticed it before but Persephone was gifted with healing powers. Everything she touches lives or survives. The Dark Palace used to be a scary place before she came. It used to look like a graveyard and a meeting place for black crows. No one dared to come close to the place. But ever since Persephone came, the number of crows became smaller and smaller until all of them disappeared. What used to be a gloomy place before became a place of healing and hope. What used to be a heartless warrior who only left a trail of endless death became a rational ruler who lis
It’s been five years since the war ended, but there were still times when I would be so afraid that the horrors would come back again. But then my family would come and remind me that no matter what happens we will always get through them. Anya still hated me for the way I acted that day as I approached Isabel. She hated me because she almost lost me. But then it was also because of what happened we finally found what DK’s power was. If my power was death, DK was life. Which explains how he was able to pull me out of death’s arm. We were the extreme of everything, and Anya was the balance in between. Which is why we were Fated with each other. I have to thank my mom. She was one of the reasons why I survived. Turns out she was right, we would have triplets and I have a daughter who was as unique as her brothers. Her hair was black on the crown of her head which slowly changed to blonde by the ends of it. A perfect combination of my hair color and DK’s. But what made her m
She’s here, they’re here. They came for me.‘Redeem your powers and your wolf,’ Anya orders, ‘We are going into war.’I smiled through the pain as I chanted the words that my mother told me to say when I was ready. Pain, spread through my body as Hades took his rightful spot. ‘It’s about time,’ Hades growled. We watched as Isabel’s eyes filled with fury as she watched my body heal like the torture that she gave me this past few days never happened. A guard came rushing and said, “We are surrounded.”Isabel’s eyes widened as she finally realized what she was up against. “Seize them!” she ordered to her guards. “Keep them alive.” Additional guards arrived and to our surprise, they all shifted into their wolf forms barring their teeth at us. “Don’t ever think I can’t fight them or Persephone will never allow you in bed with us,” Anya threatened, making DK and me laugh. “Oh we wouldn’t dare,” I replied. Suddenly our wolves order us not to shift telling us to fight in human form.
I failed. I was brought to the Black Moon pack to hide as I let my new best friend die right before my eyes and let one of my Fated Mate be captured by the enemy. I failed. And I have no one else to blame but me.DK had tried several times to check on me. To talk to me. But I wouldn’t let him. I was angry with him for letting Mikey go and I was afraid that if he came closer I would lose him too. Why? Why did we have to suffer like this?And yet despite all my questions, no one seems to provide an answer. *****It was the second day, and I cried myself to sleep. I found out that Ruby was buried as me. This isn’t fair. This isn’t right. But there is nothing I can do because she is already dead.I used to enjoy sleeping because it let me escape my harsh reality. But I hate sleeping now because I dreamed of Mikey in a cold dark cell suffering as his body was broken several times over and over again. DK broke the door of our cabin, but I still won’t talk to him. He carried me to th
After finding out who the spy was everything went clear. I know what needs to be done. How can I not know when I dreamt of it almost every night? My nightmare was finally becoming reality, but all I could think of was Anya’s safety. “What are you waiting for?” DK asked in a panic. But I knew that nothing would happen to Anya as long as Ruby was there. “I need you to listen to me,” I finally said. “Anya will be killed,” I said. “What?!” DK was about to launch a punch but my mother stopped it. “Let me rephrase that,” I said as I took a deep breath, “Everyone will think that Anya will be killed because it will be someone with Anya’s face.”“Oh god,” DK said as he fell back on his chair as he finally realized what I was saying. “And I will be captured,” I continued.“What?” It was my Dad who reacted this time. “Because I will let them,” I replied, “Asher will be tortured in our hands but we will not kill him. And just right in time, Isabel would arrive and kill Anya. The moment th
I closed my eyes and envisioned the person I was going to imitate. This is the last chance that we have and I need to make everything as perfect as I remember it. I tuned out all the sounds and negative thoughts that I had and prayed that this chance that I had won’t go to waste. And then I feel it, the soft hum of the spell working their magic. I watch as the shape of my hand changes as well as my clothes. Once the change was complete, I pulled out the small mirror that I hid in my pocket and looked at myself to see if I had become the person that everybody feared. I know that by now, Mikey, DK, and the rest of my family understood what I meant that I would root the spy out. Because I finally learned the best way to do it. As I was waiting for Ruby to come, a thought came to me as I recalled my grandmother’s words. “The spy you are all looking for is right under your noses.”“There is only one spy.” I guess I have known it for a long time, I just don’t have enough proof to admit
“I still think this is a bad idea,” Uncle Drake said for the third time. “Can’t you just trust your daughter?” Aunt Athena complains. Even though DK and I agreed with Anya because we wanted to support her. We can’t deny the fact that we are still scared that something bad might happen to her just like the last time. This is why the tournament was held in a different Arena that Anya personally requested.As the three of us agreed to disagree, we finally found a way to compromise which included my Mom and Uncle Jericho’s presence. The wards inside the arena were created to not have any rogue wolves in unless it was tampered with from the inside. But that does not include me, DK, my Mom, and Uncle Jericho. Aunt Dana added our blood the same security she used in Purpura that would allow us to enter the Arena when needed through teleportation. We watch through the screen as Anya and Ruby prepare to enter the arena and see Rose approaching them. And as much as Anya hated it, she was wa
The day of the tournament is finally here. The place where the tournament was going to be held was announced an hour before the tournament began.It was on the plain just outside the forest of Purpura. I know the test that awaited us, but instead of surviving the tournament, I now have a different purpose. And that is to find the spy. “Luna,” Rose said as she approached us. I nodded at her. “I know that you’re not here to win the tournament,” she said, her voice so low that only I could hear what she had to say. “I want to help.” Rose was there when Isabel attacked us. My father said to be on alert because she may be the spy. I told him that Rose would never do such a thing and that I trusted her. But my father then pointed out that the purpose of the spy was to gain our trust so that they could attack when we least expected it. He pointed out the same thing with Asher, which of course hurt Mikey. He had watched that kid grow with his guidance, which made the thought of him being
After practicing for more than a day and a half, I finally got the spell right. I know that I shouldn’t let anybody know about the spell but I needed to practice it. So before I did the spell I made sure that Ruby made a promise bond with me. So that she won’t in any possible way tell anything to DK.“It worked!” I screamed happily as we stood in front of each other in the training room of the packhouse. “Do I really look like that, Luna?” Ruby asks as she stares at me with this belief.I pulled her in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror by the corner and smiled. “We look like twins,” I replied happily. Ruby sighs, “Still, I don’t think I look like that.”“Stop it,” I ordered, “You're spoiling the fun,” I added pouting. Just then someone moving the doorknob caught our attention. “It’s locked,” I hear DK complained.“Are you sure?” Mikey asked. “Anya!” DK shouted. “I’m here!” I shouted but then my voice sounded different, “Don’t open the door.” “What’s going on Little Wolf?” M
After the announcement about the tournament, Anya headed back to the packhouse to do the thing that she needed to do but couldn’t tell us. Since Anya said that she will just stay at the packhouse for it. We decided that Ruby was a better alternative in the meantime since DK needed to return to Silver Mountain to assist my mother, Aunt Dana, and Aunt Athena in finding a suitable place for a safe place for his people. But he promises to be back before nighttime to keep an eye on Anya while I stay in Purpura for the night. “You’re avoiding your mother,” My Dad Nori says as he falls a step beside me. As we walk towards the entrance of Purpura.“No,” I replied but it didn’t sound as convincing as I want to be. “What’s on your mind?” My Dad asks as we enter the threshold of Purpura. “I guess I just don’t know her,” I answered.“You don’t know Seth before but you got along just fine right now,” My Dad countered. I looked at my father and saw the same onyx-colored eyes that I possess and
