*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
I look at my wolf and I can't help but feel her pain. I can’t imagine how can someone be so cruel.I understand what she went through, but I just can’t lend her my body.‘I understand how you feel,’ I started to say, ‘But DK is not your Dark Prince. Even if I let you use my body. You won’t be able to fill that void that you’re feeling. No matter how many times you do what you want to do, that void deep inside you will remain the same.’‘If you don’t want to lend your body, just say so,’ Persephone snapped. I shook my head as I looked at her with sad eyes. ‘This is not about being selfish,’ I said, ‘This is about being with the person that you love. And I know that DK is showing you how much he cares. But that’s it he cares about you. And caring doesn’t mean that he loves you.’I watched my wolf as she fell to her knees as I let each word of what I said sink into her mind. I want her to understand, that this is not her life but mine. ‘And if you do that, if you force it, you are ju
I continued to play the role of DK’s Chosen Mate. And even though what we have isn’t real, my friend for him is the opposite which made my acting as his beloved Mate easier. During the time that I spent with him, and as I sat beside him through every meeting, I couldn’t help but be proud of who was becoming. His dreams for the pack, for his people, and the things that he wanted to achieve no matter how many times his ideas were denied, DK never stopped dreaming. “I always thought that you hated to be an Alpha,” I said, as he turned to face me, as a smile appeared on his lips.“Not really hated it,” he said as I stood beside him by the window, “Well, there are some parts that I hated about being an Alpha and some parts that I love and enjoy.”“What do you enjoy?” I asked out of curiosity, but when DK showed me that arrogant smile again, a part of me regretted that I even asked. “I enjoy seeing my people free and happy,” DK replied. “Then why did you let people think that you're an
The days went by and I fell into a routine of showing myself around with DK. Letting everyone know who is DK’s Chose Mate and the Pack that she belongs to. DK told me that after my accident, my parents already knew about the contract and about the state of his father. He also requested to keep the contract from Mikey as it was something I needed to settle on my own. My parents agreed to help him and his father in any way they can but my father didn’t let DK get away with lying to him. But DK said that one of the reasons why they let me stay here with him was because he was able to tame my wolf. I told DK not to tell my parents that I had already regained control over my body. Not until we end our contract and until I find a better way to explain my side to my parents. I know that they would understand but that doesn’t remove the fact that I lied to them and placed myself in danger. The two things that my father hated the most. I was slowly getting used to DK’s pack and it’s peo
I was preparing for my weekly visit to Silver Mountain Pack when Uncle Drake told me to stop visiting unless he said so. I asked for the reason behind it but he never gave me one and told me to just follow what he said. I was not going to do just that, but when he told me that if I disobeyed him he would make sure that I would be banned from visiting Anya, which of course, is something I couldn’t risk.But then the week became weeks and I wanted to ask Uncle Drake about the visits but it was Aunt Athena who stopped me this time. She told me that Anya was willing and that I should just wait for her return. She also emphasizes how Purple Hill needed me more than Anya and that Anya is protected in the Silver Mountain Pack. I wanted to tell her that I was the only one who could protect Anya and wanted to let her know that Anya does not belong to the Silver Mountain Pack. But what Aunt Athena said surprised me.“If you didn’t hurt her and leave her, then we wouldn’t have this problem,”
The drive towards the place that they call The Falls was more complicated than I imagined.Because even if I had taken the blue pill that Aunt Athena had given me, Anya on the other hand was so restless that driving was torture. “I want you,” Anya said her eyes glazing with so much want that it was hard to resist especially since my wolf is so horny and excited that we finally found our mate, he is seriously making things harder for me.“Just a little bit longer baby,” I told Anya as I held her against her seat. “Don’t you want me?” Anya whimpers. “Of course I do,” I said almost shouting and almost losing my control. There was nothing I wanted more right now but to be with her. To claim her and make her mine. I have waited for this moment for so long. I waited for her to come back to me. Waited until she was back in my arms. The big rock came into view, making me press harder on the gas pedal. I have never driven that fast in my life. And the moment that we reached the Big Rock a
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
