That single bomb that the dark witch had dropped distracted Ember. Veronica was pregnant with Liam’s child and now the dark witch had absorbed her life force to gain the power of the child which has the blood of the Alpha.Ember didn’t know what she should feel about if. Jealousy clawed its way into her heart while she felt pity for Veronica to succumb to such fate. And the child, her heart bled for the innocent child who lost its life because of this selfish witch.The witch saw the opportunity to subdue Ember when she saw that she was tearing apart. She began to chant an ancient spell, the kind of spell that was forbidden to be used because it caused harm.Ember was so busy thinking about Veronica and Liam’s child that she lost focus and didn’t notice that the dark witch was performing a ritual on her. She was lost in her own emotions.“How could you do that to an innocent child?” she whispered. Her whole body was shivering in rage.First, Robert had killed an entire village, leavin
It’s a double shot arrow. The sharp head was forged with a death spell and it was laced with poison that could kill hundreds of werewolves with just one drop. Robert Kingston was the one who formulated that and it took him years to finally perfected the formula of a weapon that was so lethal to werewolves.It pierced straight towards Ember’s back. Two arrows but it was enough to kill her.Ember felt her whole world halted as she felt the pain that pierced her back. Suddenly, she couldn’t breathe and her whole body became paralyzed.“W-what…” she couldn’t even finish her words and she fell on the ground, limping and gasping for air.Her chest became so tight and no matter how much she tried to clasped it, she still couldn’t breathe.“Ember!”She heard Liam’s voice in the distance. Her eyes began to blur. All she could ever think was her daughter. If she’s going to die now, she can’t accept her fate. Not when her daughter was still inside her.Tears flowed in her cheeks. Her heart clenc
It was a gloomy day in all of Bresmont, not just in Bresmont but in all of Devonlaire. They mourned for the death of Luna Ember, and there was no one creature in the entire realm that didn’t feel the pain for losing one of the most loyal subjects of the Lycan King. Not only that, Ember was known for her kindness of all people, be it a supernatural being or those ordinary and powerless humans. She was considered to be the best Luna of the entire realm.Her courage to wage war against the werewolf hunters gained her a lot of praise, but it also cost her life.It was a week since the hunters had a full attack, and since then the war has not yet ended, not until Robert Kingston’s head will be put in a spear.After a week, Ember’s remains were still fresh. It was as if she was just sleeping. If not for the hole on the center of her chest, one will definitely think she was just sleeping. The baby inside her kept her body fresh.It was a mystery no one could give an explanation.Liam never l
Liam had granted permission for Reed and Apo to visit Ember. Solana was the one who explained that it was the captain of the rogues and the old witch who helped Ember find her.They understand that Liam didn’t want any person near Ember, especially after what had happened, but he considered the two.Reed was staring at Liam as he walked out of the room when they arrived. Solana was the one who received them since Liam doesn’t talk to anyone after what happened.Apo gasped in shock when she saw Ember’s lifeless body laying on the bed. She looked so alive and so beautiful. If one doesn’t have an idea that she’s dead, she could be mistaken for only sleeping.“She looked so beautiful. I can’t believe she’s dead.” Apo sweeped her eyes around Ember’s laying state and shook her head. “This is so unbelievable.” It took her long before she was able to recover from the shock.Reed was standing in one corner, his eyes fixed on Ember. He couldn’t shake the feeling of being guilty. He hadn't done
Liam heard everything from the closed door. He heard what the old witch with white hair said.Ember is alive. Her soul was just wandering somewhere else and it needed to be summoned in order for her to find her way back to him.He slammed the open and bared his fangs to the strangers. Suddenly, Liam felt possessive of Ember. He could feel that the rogue named Reed had something for his Luna and he’s here for her, or maybe to take her away from him.“Do not touch her!” He growled. His wolf doesn’t like the fact that some werewolf was with Luna inside the room.His claws extended and he’s ready to pounce whoever would get in his way when Solana, his cousin, got in front of him and spread both of her arms to protect the strangers.“Alpha, please calm down. They are not enemies, they are here to help.” Solana begged him, but the expression written on her face says that she’s not going to let him harm those people.Liam snarled at Solana’s boldness. “Then, leave!” Liam demanded.Solana sho
Ember gave birth to a very beautiful baby girl. Brynn was the one who operated Ember with the assistance of Solana.The whole of Bresmont has been expecting the day and the long wait is over. It was past midnight when a loud cry of a newborn Alpha echoed through the walls of the mansion.“Oh, my goddess! She’s a beauty!” Solana exclaimed in pure delight the moment she saw the baby and held it in her arms.“She’s a fighter.” Brynn commented as she cleaned Ember.Liam was long gone. Solana couldn’t feel his presence anywhere in the mansion, and she could only wish that he was here to witness how much of a fighter his daughter had been. She understands him, though. Liam was always the weak-hearted among the Ashdowns. He may be strong when it comes to the physical aspect but he’s weak when emotions are involved.“Oh, Ember, look at your daughter. She has your eyes and hair!” Solana was teary-eyed. She placed the baby beside Ember and her tears won’t stop coming. “How I wish you could see
Liam could feel it, Ember was slowly slipping away. His beast wanted to howl in pain and despair. They could feel that Ember was going to leave for good. He’s not going to see her ever again, and just thinking about it Liam felt like dying.His lungs burned as he continued to run through the depths of the forest. He actually didn’t know where he was right now, if he’s still inside the premises of Bresmont or if he was already past the border walls. Liam didn’t care at all, he just wanted to run until exhaustion, until he couldn't stand anymore.His huge paw padded through the muddy ground, he was in his full werewolf form. The trees he passed behind were all in a blur, he was running in his fastest.And then he felt it, the pain in his heart. Liam felt like his heart was being ripped out from his ribcage. The excruciating was almost unbearable. He halted from his run and looked back to the location where the mansion was.An illumined light came out from the mansion and it ascended tow
Liam woke up feeling weak and exhausted. He can barely move his body due to weakness. He tried to open his eyes, and he was welcomed into an unfamiliar room.He frowned. He didn’t remember getting into this kind room. The last thing he remembered before he went out of consciousness was he witnessed the bubbles of light that flew up in the sky.One again, Liam was filled with sadness.He sat on the bed and scanned the surroundings. The room was made of wood, the walls and floor were wood and even the bed was made of it.The door opened and a young woman entered with fresh clothes in her hands. She smiled at him.“Good morning, Alpha.” She bowed her head and arranged the clothes in the empty closet.“Where am I? Are you the one who brought me here?” Though he felt his body was very weak, he tried to swing his feet off the bed.The woman shook her head. “No, Alpha. It was Captain Reed who brought you here. You are in the camp. The Captain will be here soon, and breakfast will be served i
Bresmont has been very peaceful ever since Ember came back. Together with the other districts, the center of Devonlaire had also celebrated her comeback.There were no sightings of evil witches or even the remnant werewolf hunters who survived the hunt.Ember couldn’t be more happy now that she’s finally back and she finally met her daughter, Hope. Her heart was filled with joy as she watched her sleeping peacefully in her crib. She resembles her so much in the physical aspect, and she hope she will inherit Liam’s courage and determination.After all, she’s the next ruler of Bresmont, it should only be fitting that she will take from her father.Liam, on the other hand had been so clingy. He was a little bit paranoid when he wouldn’t find her in their bed in the morning and he’s always concern for her safety.“There you are! God, I was looking or you all over the mansion!” Liam exclaimed behind her.Ember couldn’t help but chuckled. She wasn’t expecting Liam to be this clingy. For a b
Asher just stood there, his body unmoving while his mind was still processing what he just saw.“I will explain later. We need to hold the gates, it’s been breached and there are more coming.” Ember uttered, she was frantic. She can feel that there were more bandits coming.But before Asher could even utter a single word, they heard a howl that made everyone stop, including Ember.Ember’s eyes widened in realization. Liam was calling her. Ember could feel his wolf calling into her soul, it was like a pull that she cannot deny.“Liam…” she whispered.And, she saw him. In the sea of crowds, she saw him in his glorious transformed body.When their eyes met, Ember knew that she’s home. She finally found her way home, or home find its way to bring her back.Tears stung her eyes and her throat hurt as she tried to swallow her cries of joy. It’s not time to rejoice but she couldn’t help it.In one swift motion, she ran toward his direction. She cared less about the bandits this time. Call he
Liam and his company were frantic. According to Ursula and Erin, Crumbush was being attacked by the bandits who wanted Ember’s head.His heart hammered inside his chest as he thought of his Luna being surrounded by those thugs. It brought him back to the war that happened a year ago, where Ember sacrificed her life just so their enemies would be defeated.A different kind of pain rushed through his entire being. He will not allow that to happen once again, not when he’s this strong and capable.Air rushed in his lungs as he lunged and avoided trees. He has never run this fast in his entire life. It’s only a matter of time, and one single second that he’s late, it will change anything.They can already see the fire up in the sky a few kilometers away from them. Liam instantly knew what it was.“It has begun,” he murmured as he halted from his tracks and stared at the black smoke that dominated the blue sky.“Alpha, we should continue now.” Liam heard Solana speak into their mind.Liam
Liam put Hope in her crib. She was fast asleep, and though he didn’t want to wake her up he couldn’t help but hold her in his arms before he left Bresmont to find Ember.Hope was a spitting image of her mother. Just by looking at Hope, his urge to find his wife got even stronger. He will do anything to find her and bring her back to their daughter.“I promise you, my little angel. I will bring Mommy back. And you will grow into a fine lady with your mother beside you. We will be whole again, Hope. I promise you that.”He caressed her chubby cheeks and planted one last kiss before he exited her room.Yesterday, Yvette suddenly showed up at their doorstep and told them that she was able to detect Ember’s power.She was able to retrieve her magic sphere from the Lycan King and now, she can locate Ember.When he asked her why she was doing this, she answered that she just wanted to help.“I just want to do something right, at least that’s what I can help for Devonlaire. The whole Devonlai
Asher heard hushed conversation when he neared the kitchen. He slowed down and tried to listen to the topic.It was about Emerald and the other night’s event.He grimaced thinking that it was not a secret anymore. More and more people every day gain knowledge of that incident, and it will not be good for them.“Do you think she’s not human?” One of the servants of the house whispered to the other.“I can’t say that. But given the fact that she killed those six burly men, it’s scary having her around the house. We can’t tell when she’ll attack.”“You’re right, Marishka told me to stay away from her.”“But we really can’t do that since we have jobs to do here in the house.”“I just wished she’ll vanish for good.”“I think she’s a werewolf. According to those who witness, those dead men have huge wounds from a claw. If that’s the case, the Chief should cast her out.”Asher balled his fist. For some reason, he hated hearing those kinds of accusations that were thrown at Emerald. He felt t
Emerald tossed and turned in her bed as blood and cries of agony erupted through the dead of the night.She sobbed while her eyes were closed. She saw it all, the death of these people who became dear to her.She had seen this scenario before. She knew this scene would end up as the worst dream of her life.“No, please….” she moaned in pain and she clasped her palm tightly into the sheets like her survival depended on it. Tears trek down her beautiful face although her eyes were closed and sweat invaded her whole body.She saw everything, Marana was struck with a huge axe on her neck causing her to die in that instant. Asher took a bullet for her and he was hit in different parts of his body. Erin, the poor child cried for help as she witnessed her mother being violated in front of her.“Don’t do this…”Emerald tried to help, but she couldn't touch a thing. This dream was so similar to the one she had a long time ago. And the worst part is, that dream came true, many died and she coul
Kreigstone is a town located outside the walls of Devonlaire. Its inhabitants were all human, and any supernatural beings were forbidden to settle down or even enter the town.People talked in hushed voices, afraid that they might be arrested for talking about the girl in the woods.It’s not a secret that some supernatural activities were happening in their town.Their politicians were furious, the people scared and the outlaws were enraged.At least six people from the other side of the law were killed in that single night, and they were screaming for retaliation.Gasper, one of the outlaws, was drinking his liquor in a torn bar in the most isolated part of the town. He heard people talk and he’s picking up any information that their boss might need.Who was that woman in the woods?His grip on the bottle of beer resting in his hands tightened. He was enraged. One of the victims was his older brother, and he was desperately in need of blood. Red, cold, dirty blood in his hands. And h
The cold water from the shower cascaded Asher’s naked body. He lost count of how long he’s been inside the bathroom. His thoughts flew out of the house and back to what happened in the forest part last night.He closed his eyes and immediately flashes of the scene came to his memory.Gruesome. The smell of metal flew in the air and the stench of death made it even worse.A total of six dead bodies of huge men were scattered everywhere, some were on the ground and others were hung on the tree. Their blood pooled on the forest floor, fertilizing the earth.They arrived at the scene late. Everything happened so fast that when they got there, they didn’t witness how those men died.But based on Marana’s opinion, they all die from blood loss due to the huge wounds they incurred. A wound that only a monster was capable of inflicting.Was it Emerald?He can hardly tell it since he didn’t see the whole thing.The cold water sipped through his body and his bones shivered from the cold.Cursing
It’s the carnival night and Emerald couldn’t get any excited to go there.A huge smile appeared on her beautiful face as she examined how she looked in the mirror.Marana gave her a dress to wear there. It’s a pretty dress with a simple design. It fitted nicely in her body and he smile widened. She can’t wait to go in the carnival. She believed she hasn’t been on one.Marana and her family had been so good to her. Despite the fact that she’s a stranger and they didn’t know where she came from, they still welcome her and treated her like family.She swirl in front of the mirror and her smile widened.“I’m ready.” She left her room and went to find Marana and the rest of the people who wanted to see the carnivval too.Carnival nigths happens every once a month. They travel from town to town. She’s excited to see what’s in there. She has not regain her memory yet and there were a lot of things that confused her, but she’s not giving up.Emerald believed that one day, she will be able to
