Cassy's POVAs soon as I left the castle, I sent a mindlink to Uncle Berth that the assignment was done and sealed."Let's wait for the result," he simply said, but I could sense a hidden excitement in his tone. "I can't wait for her to run away!" I said excitedly."Of course. She is going to be gone real soon and only the Luna I want would be here…" he replied with a chuckle.Before I could reply him, the mindlink was already cut off. I shrugged off the ominous feeling I was having in my guts, choosing to trust his words meant me.I was the Luna he wanted, right?With the excited thoughts in mind, I walked briskly to my house. When I got to my chambers, I lay on the bed with my face filled with excitement and hidden anxiety. While I basked in the glory of the outcome of finishing the assignment which I was given, I could overhear noises outside my door which caused me to jerk up from my lying posture on the bed."What could that noise be?" I asked myself. In all sincerity, I was e
Cassy's POVI opened my eyes with so much struggle, grinning slightly at the aching sensation around my forehead and the back of my head, and also around my back. But the first sight of my newest environment had driven that struggle away, causing me to shriek and scream as I wrapped my legs and arms around my entire body.I was in this dark cell, filled with humans of diverse states. Some were already out of this world, their bodies deteriorating and smelly, while some were still alive, but their bodies were a difficult sight to behold.They had these unexplainable tearing marks on their bodies, their skin looking as though they were elastic, as though the tried changing form, but they were stuck somewhere. I needed to exit that surrounding. If it was what I thought it was, then I was rather more unsafe here. Those tearings and marks which my eyes had seen seemed like those which resembled those of rogue wolves.But while I thought of means of escape, standing up and walking round to
Maverick's POV"... She's dead" I heard Loren say.I was going to hurt someone. I was going to hurt my beta if Ryker continued to take over. I was going to hurt everyone. How could she be dead? I wasn't going to allow it."Please, stop…" Loren pleaded again, holding his head. Slowly, I tried to press down the force emitting from Ryker. The world had stopped its movement, and at the moment I heard Loren's words which seemed to affirm the doctor's, my heart had become weakened.I could only stare at him with my lips parted open in denial of his words. Another would think that my focus was placed on him, but my entire thought was wrapped about the sudden departure of Brynlee. I could see his lips moving, but I could definitely not hear a word which he spoke. My legs were weakened, and suddenly became numb to the extent that I staggered on the ground, falling down and leaning on the wall."I'm sorry, Ricky" I heard his words, but paid no attention to the things he had said. Trails of h
Uncle Berth's POV"How does it feel, my lord?" The maidservant asked gently as she poured a greenish content on the warm pool of water I was in."Nothing better than now, my dear," I chuckled lightly as I sipped the delicious wine from the cup."Nothing better," I added, chuckling more. There was absolutely nothing better than what was happening right now. I saw her nod her head gently and slowly got up with the silver jug tightly held in her hands. I didn't bother asking her questions as my mind was too occupied with joy over the fruition of my plans.'Who would have thought that it would come out with such quick success. Ha! Now, everything will be mine and mine only! Let's see how you will get out of this. Well done, Cassy" Roars of laughter escaped my lips as I received massage from the maids around.This is what we call power!"My lord, do you need anything else?" Her soft voice interrupted my thoughts and I glanced away from the wine and stared at her. Even though her silky bl
Maverick's POV"Place her on the circle now," Rex's cold voice drifted into my ears as I made my way inside the barely lit room. I looked down where he was pointing at and noticed a complex circle drawing on the floor.I didn't have much time to ask him what it was as he seemed to be in a hurry with something. I calmly walked towards the circle and gently placed Brynlee's limp body on the floor. I shivered slightly when I saw how unresponsive and flexible she was not to talk about how cold her body was."We don't have time for daydreaming. Get the ritual done before it's too late. I'll go get some things and I'll be back in an hour or two," Uncle Breth loudly announced and soon the sound of retreating footsteps was heard. Taking a deep breath with nothing more in mind to do in the situation that I am in. I stood up straight then took two steps back."You may leave now, Loren," I told my beta, who had an uneasy look on his face. "It's still not too late, Ricky. I don't trust your un
Brynlee's POVDarkness.Void.Burning sensation. And… a sense of loss. I saw myself running through a thick fog of darkness which threatened to envelope me. I heard a soulful growl penetrating through the darkness.It sounded familiar-it felt like someone trying to gain my attention. It was trying to tell me what I had forgotten. I tried to look around yet nothing was within my sight. I felt alone yet my heart kept longing for which I can't fathom. That was when I heard a voice calling out to me, sorrowfully. "Brynlee…""Please come back…" "I am missing you…""I am sorry I wasn't there…" "I am sorry I let it happen…!"Who was this person and why was I getting drawn to the voice? I needed to get out of this place. I needed to see the one whose sadness was so overwhelming.So, I started running nonstop through the dark fog. I don't know how long I ran but it seemed to get longer with each passing time. I just couldn't get out of it and I just don't want to give up either.Why was
Brynlee's POVDid I just growl? I looked up to see his pair of dark red eyes, glowing back at me… in shock too. Why would I utter that word to him? "She-she growled!" His voice was raspy but filled with disbelief. "Her fingers are actually moving too. This isn't a dream. My buttercup is truly awake!" His voice slowly drifted into my mind and soon after a warm hand held mine. Who exactly was this man and why was I sounding like a wolf or something?"Growl? How the fuck can a human growl, mister? What the hell have you guys done to me?" I asked, breathing heavily while trying to stand up from the bed."Brynlee-""Stop calling my name as if you know me. What the hell did you guys do to me?" I asked, holding my head in pain. I kept having a connected familiarity with him. "You-you actually don't remember me?" He asked, biting his lower lips as his eyes gazed on mine with sadness emitting endlessly."Can someone talk to-" "Brynlee," His hoarse voice called out and somehow I felt warm j
Maverick's POV"What relationship do we have?" These questions rang in my head like a broken disc. Silence took over the room as I stared at her with words tied to my throat. My heart was filled with confusing thoughts. Why did the Sound I heard from her sound like a growl? I didn't know what to say to her and how to reply to the question she was asking either. Should I tell her the truth that we were mates chosen by the moon goddess or should I just lie to her?I do not know how chaotic her mind was and how much trouble my reply would cause her."Hello?" She called out, snapping her fingers at my face."Yeah, mm… our relationship," I stuttered as I found it hard to explain what type of relationship the both of us had. I can't lie to her but I can't just help it.I should just tell her the truth, maybe she could get some pieces of memories just from it. I still want her in my hands. I knew that she was alive now and breathing and I was madly excited over it but… why can't I touch h
Little Elsie was sent to the royal physician who conducted a test and said she was fine.Willow on the other hand wasn't having a good time."It will take her months to heal," The physician said."Mother." Brynlee sighed then kisses her forehead. The unconscious Willow was taken away and Maverick pulled her into a hug."Everything will be fine from now on," Maverick smiled then kissed her lightly on her lips.Brynlee nodded then stared at the place he was stabbed. He noticed how worried he was and he sighed."I'll be fine in a few days. I have to leave now. The palace needs some rumination." maverick annouced.Brynlee nodded and watched as he left. Days went by after that and the new palace for the Solar pack was in place.Two huge status stood magnificently at the entrance to the palace and it won't take someone a second to see that it was the Luna and her Alpha."Sir there's a report,"Loren walked inside the study room of Maverick who was going through some files.Maverick stared at
"You came?" He asked with heavy breath, staring at her as she still struggled in cutting the rope.She paused and turned towards him, staring at him with a smile on her face before she placed her palm on his face and then replied, "Of course I did. You would do same for me."He smiled at her. The pains he had felt around his hands had already ceased as soon as he could feel her hands around his skin, and for a second, his love for the lady had rekindled ten times more than what he had already felt for her.But all of the emotions were cut off just as soon as his eyes had sighted the movement of a rogue wolf approaching them at a very intense speed."You might want to be a bit faster in cutting off this rope!" He said. "Why?" She asked"Because another is coming in our direction," he said. Her eyes immediately turned backwards as she could also sight the rogue wolf running towards them both, and the tension within her spirit had immediately catapulted."Shit!" She groaned as she kept
AUTHOR'S POVHeavy breath accompanied every hasty step she took round the building. Her eyes moved round the entire building, her face beaded with sweat drops as she stood with her hands on waist, seeming lost in the thoughts of something uncertain."My lady..." A voice sounded from behind her which interrupted her train of thoughts, causing her to turn backwards in view of who had called towards her."He's not here! He's not anywhere in the building" Loren said. His eyes were squeezed at the sight of her facial reaction. Her face was squeezed, as though tears were about to fall down her face.She turned back and forth, already sniffling her nostrils with the hasty breath increasing as the seconds passed by. Her hands were on her head, her fingers rushing through her already scattered hair in thoughts of what next she could do.She searched for Maverick as soon as the strangest feeling pierced through her heart. She had started her search, but when she had seen the impossibility of he
As soon as Alexandria and Regina was taken away, hurried footsteps were heard coming towards the place they were. It was Loren and Tamara who heard about another poisoning episode."I heard about what happened. Are you both fine?" Loren rushed inside the mansion along with Tamara.Brynlee stopped with what she was doing then stared at the couple who just came in."Loren? Tamara?" Her eyes widened in surprise. Tamara stared at her, surprised then stared at Maverick who gave a short nod."You finally remember us?" She asked with watery eyes. Brynlee nodded frantically and they both held each other screaming."I thank God that everything is fine now," Loren walked towards Maverick. He took a seat on one of the sofas while he watches the ladies.He was about to say something but Maverick phone started ringing. He stared at the buzzing phone and the table."Hello?" Maverick coldly asked. He knew who the caller was and he wondered why he called?"Are you free?" Uncle Berth's voice sounded f
Author's POV"Is it because it's poison?" Willow asked and Alexandra's brows creased together."How dare you give an accusation without proof?" Alexandra thundered."You know what I hate the most? It's dramas. It's either you give her that pie like she requested or get your head on a platter for being a traitor," Brynlee coldly replied."Mr Maverick! Will you let her talk to your guest like that?!" Alexandra accused.Maverick stared at her then back at the pie. If the woman knew how much he pampers his mate, she wouldn't dare ask him that. But for the fact that they are trying to deceive Alexandra, he just had to play along. "Is it truly poisoned?" He calmly asked. Alexandra's eyes widened in disbelief. Why was Maverick suddenly believing them? Didn't he ask her over here because he wanted her help? Wasn't that why he always danced to her tune? "You don't believe me?" She feigned a sad look on her face. Maverick simply stared at her without saying a word. Alexandra's hands tightene
Willow's POVThere were so many words I wished to tell my daughter. I wish I could tell her how sorry I was to leave her alone all these years. I wish I could stop all the maltreatment she received from Alexandra after the death of her father.But I just couldn't. I didn't want to make her life more complicated than it already was. How could I tell her that she was at risk then because I broke the rule of witches?Back then, powerful witches of the royal bloodline were forbidden to mate with humans. That was how we were taught, not until I met Brynlee's father. He was so perfect that I fell in love with him.But of course, I knew the implications of what I was getting myself into. To protect him, I wanted to denounce my witchy powers. I was determined to be ordinary so I could be with Brynlee's father.I never knew those were just my wishful thinking. The man I fell in love with lied to me. I found out another woman was pregnant with his child. Filled with fury, I wanted to destroy h
Third Person POVUncle's Beth's gaze sharpened as he stared at the shadow standing at the window.There was a moment of silence before it slowly disappeared from there. "What's that?" He muttered as he quickly ran towards the window to check but no one was there. He sighed then turned towards the dressing table. He picked the bottle with serenity and placed it gently inside the drawer."Get ready to meet your demise," He chuckled lightly as he climbed the bed and slept soundly.Hours passed in the blink of an eye and it was morning already. A maid walked towards his room and knocked gently."Sir, breakfast is ready," The maid said but he simply ignored her. He wore his suit and walked past her."Tell the driver to get the car ready. I'll be there in 4 minutes," He said to the maid as he made himself a coffee. The maid nodded and dash off to relay the order. Few minutes after that, he was on his way to Maverick's mansion. It didn't take long before the car pulled into the mansion."W
Alexandra's POV"How long have you been here, willow?" I asked the frightened woman before me."It hasn't been long, ma'am. I only came here to inform you that I have to head back home now. I do not have any money with me and I don't think I can stay in this place stranded," She replied.My brows creased at her words but then she said right. She can't spend all her time here without earning from it.She needs money to survive and I don't expect to keep her around me. There are a lot of maids in here who can meet all my needs but then… I do not think they are worthy of my trust.So that's where she comes useful."Ma'am," She called out."Yes, you can stay," I gasp out then sighed."I can't stay here, ma'am. I need money," She argued."Money Is not the problem. I will pay you while you do some minor jobs for me. Let's just take it as our usual routine before I came here. I can't trust anyone in this palace and I've known you for a month now. Apart from Regina, you are the next person I
Alexandra's POV"We are here," Loren said as we entered the grandiloquent building. I couldn't help but gasp at how beautiful and luxurious it was.Is this really the place where my 'daughter' has been living? My eyes rolled at this but I still made sure to feast my eyes with everything I could see. I watched as the maids quickly take our luggages towards the Mansion and they all look so happy with their work "Woow," I gasped in disbelief. Don't tell me they are enjoying the luxury here?Hell yeah! It's better I stick to the deal and stay here forever but… I do not think the clean way is good."Ma'am, is there anything I can do? I mean, you asked me to come over leaving the house empty," a disturbing voice interrupted my inner happiness.I turned to stare dagger at the haggard looking maid I brought with me. If not that she was very good at her job and somehow, I just can't chase her too."What's that name of yours again?" I asked, making sure to sound demeaning."Willow" She said
