Chapter one
The third person's pov:
Move out of the way!!
Move out of the way!!
Keep moving out of the way!!
The warriors kept chanting as they dragged Leo an old wizard out of the penitentiary towards the execution ground where his fate will be determined by the werewolf Lord **Marcus Verne*** a vicious and fierce man.
The man that held authority over the whole of the werewolf realm, was dangerous and destructive. A power-hungry creature, no one dares to challenge him. Who could dare? A man that slaughters with no mercy, he has ruled for centuries. He has monopolized and taken over many packs, and the mention of his name sends a terrifying chill to the body. He was known to be merciless and evil, he challenges the Alphas takes their pack forcefully, and even people's mate, and turns their spouses into his slave. Any Alpha that defies his words either loses his life or turns into his slave, nobody wants to fall, victim. He killed with no mercy, some termed him a plague while some called him a catastrophe.
Pushing Leo to the ground, the guards shift sideways for the king to have his last word with him. A lot of people came to witness the scene. Leo was a powerful wizard but in front of Marcus, he was nothing but a fly.
Sitting graciously on his throne, he asked with authority "You went against my will….."
"You know the consequences of doing such….?"
"Death is the only penalty…." The whole crowd howled.
"Thank you, thank you….." Using his hand he motioned for the crowd to stop.
"Today Leo, you will be wiped out of this earth, I will burn you alive and feed your corpse to the vultures to use and make merry," He screeched dangerously with a mischievous smile plastered on his lips.
"Move him to the death stone and get me my sword…." The guards moved him to the stone as one of them went to bring in his sword.
"You will die under my sword, finally I caught you after all the hide and seek game," he laughed out loud.
"Since I am going to die, I have to let you know this," Leo muttered all of a sudden, taking everyone by surprise.
"You have nothing interesting to say, guards get my sword, quick!" He growled impatiently.
"The moon goddess has a message for you…." Leo declared. The whole place unexpectedly went dead silent as everybody was in anticipation to hear what the moon goddess's message was all about.
"The moon goddess, interesting, go on….." Marcus said with curiosity as he waited to hear the news, he knew it wasn't going to be a pleasant one.
"Your days are numbered, Marcus," Leo blurted.
"Says who? You or the moon goddess?" Marcus gazes mockingly at him. Murmurs were arising small as everyone's ear perked up to get the full information.
"A child will be born in the next full moon festival, that child will be your downfall….. The child will determine your fate and the child will slaughter you into pieces, the child will bear the moon mark around the neck, a dangerous one…….. If you couldn't get the child killed after the next full moon festival the child will come for you," He openly declared as murmurs started arising, noises were everywhere as Marcus fumed in anger. He was at the edge of allowing his wolf out and snapping Leo to death. Nobody has ever dared him, not even the moon goddess. Just in time, the guard brought his sword.
"Just like the way your fate will be determined by me, when you die go tell the moon goddess to loathe in hell…… I don't need her freaking message!!" he growled in anger and rage. The crowds exclaimed in total disbelief at how Marcus addressed the moon goddess. They all glance at Leo because they know this is the end of the road for him.
"Even if I die, I die a happy death…. The message was well delivered to you," that was Leo's last word before his head was cut off from his body.
He roared in satisfaction as he singled his guards to move his body to the open field where the wild animals and vultures could feast on him.
Turning to the crowd, everywhere suddenly went dead quiet, as fear, pain, and nervousness flashed on everybody's faces. They were all still, as no one dared to move or even talk, his eyes were red shot as they roamed around the whole place in wrath and irritation.
"The moon goddess should be ashamed to want to challenge me with a baby that hasn't even come to existence," he furiously uttered.
"It was a slap on my face….." He screeched.
"I, Marcus Verne, will continue to rule decades after decades……. Nobody, not even my children will dethrone me," he harshly blasts as the whole crowd shrinks in terror.
Fear and panic were lingering in the atmosphere as people were mad about why Leo could make such a comment, his message brought more disaster into their land. Marcus irks evil and he is way too dangerous that he won't allow a cry of a child to be heard in the whole werewolf realm in the whole of this period till further notice. The pregnant woman looked troubled as no one knows who is bearing the supposed child. Husbands felt terrible for they couldn't protect their wives and their unborn child. He is the devil himself and nobody dares to go against him, people that go against him have all been wiped out of this earth.
He intends to be in control of the whole supernatural and that he will soon be, he had already quelled some, and in for others. He wants to take over the world, both humans. He wants to be worshiped and adored. There is no peace anywhere, people are all leaving in dismay and hell for they don't know when their chapter could be remembered by the devilish man Marcus.
"Nobody has ever challenged me and went scout free….." He boasts.
"Go home and enjoy because very soon, all of you people will shortly get my message……" a devilish smile curled up his lips as he gestured for everyone to leave. The crowd was appalled because they know what his message could be, he has never sent a delightful message before, and with what Leo did today death could only be his next message.
The rumor was spreading so fast than everyone imagined, cry and grief were echoing in the whole land. Mothers refused to be consoled as their children were being wiped out of the earth's surface, and the pregnant ones felt so nervous to even give birth. The husbands felt worthless as they couldn't do anything, day by day babies were being killed. Women that newly gave birth waited in a panic because they knew that one day that Marcus men would grace their house and slay their babies. This was everybody's worst nightmare, giving birth and watching the life of your baby taken away, those that strived to quarrel with the warriors got slain along with their babies. Some pregnant women took their own life instead of experiencing giving birth and watching their child murdered in their presence. The pack members were all in misery, night visitation by Marcus men causes people not to sleep as the painful heartbroken cry of mothers were heard every night as their babies get murdered in their
The day of the full moon festival has arrived, and cries and agony were echoing in the whole land. Mild wind and tremendous rain were pouring heavily on the earth's surface, the Buffin of fire and every other thing needed for the festival had been well arranged. A Lot of pregnant women refused to be consoled as their pups were forcefully taken away from them. "Who is there?" With a buff tone, Susan asked as she noticed the door being banged at the wall. Walking quietly was Robin, stopping at his track, his eyes widening as he saw the kitchen knife that his wife was holding in her palms. "What did you think that you were doing?" Rushing toward her, he grabs the knife and shoves it away, "We need to get the fuck out of here now!" "Where exactly…..?" Susan uttered with confusion. Standing in a place, Robin stared intensely at his wife. "You know that I love you and our unborn child so much…. " Yes, I know so no need of reminding me," She glared at him. "Look, Susan, we have been ma
"WHAT!....... " I can't cheat on you and you of all people know that and besides, you ask too many questions. We need to leave before those warriors see us……" Robin pleaded. "I am asking too many questions that I noticed you cheating on me with that witch that you called friend……" she half yelled angrily at him. Robin ruffles his hair in frustration as he watches his wife blabbering non-stop. "Then if you weren't cheating on me, what is the connection between you two? And why should a necklace be the symbol of your connection with her?" She questioned as her eyebrow perked up in confusion. Turning to face her, his once hardened and angry face softens as he stares at his wife. "The glint of the necklace is what signifies that she was now aware that we were close to her place and she needed to come out of the water to lead us to the crucial place," he explained. "Fine….. I will just trust you on this one," she murmured. Smiling as he tried guiding his wife on how to jump on the wate
"I am your wolf…… your wolf…… " But I will appear to you…………at the right time! Right time! Sleepily turning to the other side of the bed, she heard another voice but this time the voice was more intruding, enchanting, and tender. "Who are you?" She barely muttered as she felt someone appear in front of her, she could feel the presence but she couldn't see the person clearly as the figure was covered with clouds and it felt burly for her to see the clear image. "I….I….. Am….your maker…….your maker…..so do not fear! Do not fear! " Your mission……on……this……on this earth……is……closer……than….you……expected…..expected "I…… will…..guide…….you…….to……the……rightful……person……person……… "Your…..half……is…….being……held, held……captive…….captive……and……him. I….. I mean only him…..will……help you to conquer……and smash……the demon……god! god! " What…..are you talking about?" The word trembled fearfully out of her lips. "Come….my……child, Selena…….made from…. with my……body and…..flesh, COME! " HOW DO Y
"I will start from your real identity, I will begin with who you truly were……" Ashley declared. "What are you talking about? I know my true self…… I know who I am," Selena drawled with a confused brow. Wiggins her head, Ashley grimaced as she glanced around before focusing her attention back on her "Then who are you?" Selena stared at her as if she had just lost it, "I am an ordinary human orphan……" she muttered the last word with pain and sadness. "You are not a human but a werewolf…." Ashley stared at her for some minute before she announced her identity to her, Selena gazed bewilderingly at her before she rolled into a loud laugh but her actions didn't budge Ashley. She waited in anticipation for Selena's action, she wanted to know how she would be able to handle the truth. "You know what….. I have never pictured you as a comedian because it will never fix you but today you sound like one," Amidst her laugh, Selena expressed. "You supposed to know when I am serious," Ashley sa
"Because of his egotism and avarice," Ashley mumbled. She gazes at Selena, she knows that Selena doesn't know what is in for her, but she hopes that she will be strong enough to face him. "A voracious and ravenous god!" Selena loudly muttered. "Yes! He is a piggish god who enslaved his people….because we were living more like slaves," Ashley spits horribly. "But what does he have to do with the peace of the supernatural realm?" Selena asked with difficulty. "But why all this? It isn't like they were the ones that sent him out of the macrocosm," She says. "So what is the solution to all these things now!" "The moon goddess has seen everything and took it upon herself to create a young she-wolf whose fate in the supernatural domain lies on her palms……." "Wow! That's great news but why is the chosen one hesitating to strike?" Selena glanced at them with delightful eyes. "The chosen one is no other but you, Selena…" Ashley proclaimed. "What!..... What a crazy idea," jerking up fr
Selena Running out of my already ruined home to calm down my head a bit, my head is spinning and it feels like the world is swiveling around me. I have run more than my legs could carry me but I kept pushing despite the pain around my knee and below my abdomen. The air feels like I am suffocating in it, the atmosphere seems dull to me. I know that my once quiet lifestyle is now over, that sooner or later that I will meet Marcus Verne. I still can't wrap that I am a werewolf around my small head, Marcus Verne from what they told me is very powerful and dangerous. How could a girl like me with no strength or power be able to stop him? Where should I start? Why should the moon goddess choose me? Clasping my grip around the bark of the tree, I bent down to catch my breath. I don't think that I would want to go back there because I still don't know how to face them. The idea of turning into an animal scares me and weighs me down, I have read a lot of books about werewolves and supernatur
After days without the sight of Selena, Liam couldn't handle the news about Selena's disappearance. He hasn't been himself, he surely misses his childhood friend more like a sister to him. Swirling uncomfortably around his bed since he couldn't get any glimpse of sleep, he angrily strutted towards his mother's chamber. Without knocking or even making his presence known he bashed into Ashley's cavity. "Why didn't you knock?" With her back facing him, she questioned. "Have you heard from her?" Ignoring her question, he asked. "I asked you a question, Liam!" "Have you seen her or know where she could be?" He rebuffed her. "LIAM!" "Fine! Fine! …… I am sorry for bashing into your room but…." He paused. Staring at his mother, he pleaded "But I need to know where she is," "She will be ok," Ashley assured him. "Just ok….." Liam repeated with confusion. "How can she be ok when we don't even know her way about?" He asked with his eyebrow furrowing up in confusion. "The information
Davis's Pov: It was a fateful morning, the morning sun had just come out. Opening the window, I stared out at our pack premises. The atmosphere seems refreshing and pleasant, though my heart and wolf have been restless because of today. Today is D day, the day that we were to go into the human world to hunt the mystery girl and hurl her to my father. The mighty and vicious god Marcus Verne, I inhaled sharply before closing back the window. "Come in," with a tone as cold as an ice, I abruptly replied to whoever that is at the door. "Greetings!!" Walking inside was one of the pack's witches. "Yes, how do I help you?" I mumbled with a hard tone, sending chills down his spine. "I am….. here because….. " We came early, right?" The witch's word was interrupted as Carter and my sister walked in. Noticing the atmosphere and the person in the room, their eyes widened just as I expected. "Now, go on," I motioned for the witch to continue. "I was sent by your father, the great Alpha and m
Selena's Pov: "So tell me where do we go from here?" with an indistinct frown settled in between my brow, I asked Ariana. "Ooh! About that….. Do not bother, I have everything in control," she says. "I don't get it! This place……… " Aren't you hungry, Selena," she cuts in before I could say a word. "Huh……" I said with sarcasm. "Hmm, suit yourself," she smiled before moving to where Liam was standing. I coldly glared at her, I still can't trust this girl. I knew that she intentionally threw the map and was acting up. I still don't know what she intends to do with those lies of hers. Did she throw the map to get to me because of how hard and cold I have been to her? Is she intentionally doing all this? No way……. I don't think so, I feel like she isn't a good omen. That girl is skeptical but Liam isn't having any of those, only if he could see things with me. I believe the map couldn't have been lost. I let out a deep sigh and walked toward where they were sitting. Inching closer, I
Davis's Pov: Tossing a paper curled in a ball form in my palms, I pondered on the mission that I was being set by my father. I have never let him down and I didn't plan on doing so. He is a scary man that doesn't know or care how others are feeling. Failing him might make his trust or the love he has for me vanish, only if he has any. I can't fight him so I have decided to help him out. He is a strong man that nobody, I mean nobody could defeat. He kills with no mercy be it whosoever, and I am not ready to fall into his black book. Yes! You can call me a coward or whatever but I can't put my life for the people that care nothing for me, all see me as my father, and no matter what I do they will never love me. "What are you thinking?" Carter asked from behind. I jerked up as I wasn't expecting him. "Why are you jumping?" With tight lips, he asked as he struggled to suppress his laugh. "Hey!....." I called "How could you walk in here without knocking startling me?" Rolling my eyes,
Ariana's pov: "Hey……" I called. Liam turned to face me. "Aren't you two tired, we have been walking all day," I complained. "We just need to find somewhere and stay," he mumbled. I watched as Selena averted her attention elsewhere, something seemed strange about her. I know she is not just a human, I can feel her aura but I can't place my finger on which breed she came from. I hate her, she is too beautiful, strong, smart, observant, and cold towards me. So I have all the reason on this planet to hate her, she acts like she is the best when clearly, she is nothing but a fly. I deluded them and pretended that I was lost though I feel like she could see through my lies. I am not scared because Liam is here to back me up. Poor lover boy! I let out a mocking laugh within. I know witches when I see them, I know that he is a witch though I don't know the coven he came from I can grasp him. I was sent to go fetch that pathetic girl who has the power of destroying the twelve witches to sav
Selena Sitting with my head leaning on the bark of the tree, I watched with anger how lovely and Dovey Liam has become within a minute. His behavior annoys the shit out of me, I know that I have no right on who he wants to entangle himself with but still, it annoys me because something seems off about the so-called girl. I don't know what it is but my mind and instinct never lie to me, something doesn't seem right about her. The most annoying part was that Liam had forgotten our reasons for coming here in the first place, he didn't even spend time with me. All he knows about is this little girl, fine! She is not little because we are almost the same size and even the same age but still I didn't like her. She claimed that she was lost, and the reasons behind her being lost are what we still don't know. I can't believe that Liam can fall for those cheap lies, how cheekily! I don't know why but my attitude towards her has been cold and tough, even when I tried to sound nice my words d
Liam I know that Selena is not that okay with the turn of events, who is even going to be happy about the whole issue? Though I am glad how fast she is fucking adjusting to the new change, she is strong, pretty, and observant. I love her fierce side but I seriously miss her playful and innocent side and I am not sure that I would be able to see that side again. She is now a tough and not easy-going person, to be honest, I sometimes get afraid of her…. I let out a small laugh before I continued striding deeper into the woods, I needed to get water to fill our jelly can. Moving into the woods, almost to the water. I heard a faint cry, my ears perked up as I slowly turned around. Using my eyes I scanned the place before they landed on a tiny creature. I was stunned and for some minutes I forgot myself before her amazing voice snapped me out of my dazed state. "Are you going to continue standing there for long," "Aren't you going to help me out," she yelled from afar. "Uhmm…..why not,
Selena It has been seven fucking days and I have realized that no matter what I do I couldn't change the fact or my reason for coming into existence. Their life and fate depend on me, their calls and cries wounds and break my heart each fucking day and I know that they need me. They seriously need me and I am not going to let them down not this time around. I have come to accept my cross and I am more than ready to face that fierce and vicious god Marcus Verne. "Which way do we follow now?" Liam muttered as we strode deeper into the woods. "I don't know and besides we have been walking for days……. I think we need some rest," I grumbled. My leg and knee joints are paining me like mad, we have been walking through these woods for days now without getting any twinkle of sleep. I have been trained and taught everything that I needed to know about marital skills and with Liam being a great witch and beside me, I know that I am going to come out victorious. "Maybe we should rest here th
Selena "Ahhh…..!!!" I instantly shut my eyes as the sunshine flashed on my face as soon the door was pulled open. "Wow!" Ashley shrinks in surprise as she bewilderedly gaped with her mouth hanging open. Blinking, I tried to adjust my eye to the surroundings. "This place is goddamn beautiful!" Liam exclaimed. I forced my eyes open as my breath got caught in my throat, I stared at my surroundings. The place looked breathtaking and inviting, and before we knew we started walking outside. It is a garden with a waterfall. I watched with utter disbelief as the birds chanted and fled around. Suddenly the birds flee toward me and place flowers decorated in the form of a crown on top of my head. I gaped as Ashley gave me a small smile. "Welcome, great one!" The voice startled us, causing us to freeze at our spot. "We have been waiting for your visit for a long time, great one!" Turning around, my eyes gleamed in surprise and panic. I felt stunned as we all stared at the twelve young wom
Selena Opening my eyes I found myself standing in front of an abandoned and discarded house, I unhurriedly stared around the place with uneasiness and nervousness. "We are here?" Ashley announced with satisfaction. "Let me guess…… this place is goddamn far, right?" Liam questioned as he looked around him. "Yes!" Ashley answered with a huge smile across her lips. "Then how did you find out about their way about because it is not disclosed to anybody outside their circle?" Ignoring my presence, Liam asked. I couldn't do anything but eavesdrop on their conversation. Since I couldn't do anything, all I planned was to be focused and gather all the information I could if I ever wanted to succeed on this mission. "I couldn't have found out about their way about despite me being the daughter of the founder without the help of Selena," Ashley's words startled me. I stared at her with shock and awe, I quietly peeked at myself from head to toe to be sure who they were talking about. The way
