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
Yvetted watched the skies as bubbles of illumine lights flew. She knew exactly what it meant, the chosen Luna of the Moon Goddess was in a better place. But it’s not the place where she was meant to stay forever. Luna was not meant to leave her own people.She took a sip of her tea, a mixture of ancient herbs and blood.She’s happy that somehow she was able to help Luna release her power. When Ember asked her to help her about the Alpha of Bresmont, Yvette did the opposite. She helped her but it was for herself.And the baby inside her.“Welcome to this cruel, baby girl. I hope your father will finish this war soon and he will be able to go back to you.”Yvette went back to her cottage. For now, there will be peace. Though the war is not yet over, there’s still so much more worse to come.She felt her whole body shiver about what was about to come. She had seen it, it’s much more deadly and bloody and she just hoped if that day would come, Ember would be able to save them all together
The war between werewolves and hunters are coming to its end at last. It has been months since the war broke.Liam never stopped mourning for the death of Luna Ember, it was what drove him to wake up everyday and fight the hunters. He wanted to avenge her death. His only goal was to capture Robert and take him as his prisoner for the rest of his life.Yes, he has no plans in killing the werewolf hunter leader. For Liam, death will be too easy as a punishment. Living a life as a prisoner was much more worse than death.As for her daughter, Hope, Liam had never seen her since she was born. He promised to himself that he’s not going to see her until he will capture Robert.Chris had been convincing him to go back to Bresmont and meet his daughter, but Liam would always decline. Liam felt that he didn't deserve to meet his daughter because he was not able to save her mother. The guilt he’s been feeling was too strong, he can’t afford to face his own daughter.He stayed at Derbent. Corbett
Liam snapped and was shocked to find his own mother running towards Robert. He was confused. He stared at her with so many questions running inside his head. Was this the reason why his mother was not in the mansion together with his father? Why had Kean and his father neve mentioned this to him.His focus was distracted giving Robert a chance to strike. Liam groaned in pain as he stumbled to the ground, his left arm was hit by the knife that was laced with poison.“Fcuk!” he cursed as he cradled his arm, blood oozed from his wound. He could feel the sting of the poison starting to hurt his flesh.He looked at his mother who stood beside Robert, her face was red from crying. What was she crying for?“Mom, why?” Liam’s voice cracked. He trusted her mom so much, never in his mind did it occur that his mother would betray him like this, especially his father. She did not only betray her own family, she betrayed her pack and the werewolf clan.Her mother looked at her with a broken expres
‘The morning ray of sunlight hit Liam’s face that caused him to stir from his long slumber. The first thing that registered in his mind was his painful arm. He groaned as he opened his eyes and tried to sat on the bed, but to no avail. His body was weak and he could barely move.He scanned the surroundings and it took him a minute to realize that he was in his old room, his and Ember’s old room in his mansion in Bresmont.So, someone brought him back home after he lost consciouness again in the war.Memory came back like a flood and he was overwhelmed. The fight with Robert, the confrontation he had with his mother, and then he wass hit by Robert with a poisoned knife.But what baffled him the most was his death, the Moon Goddess had spoken to him and told him something that made his heart dance with joy!Ember was alive! The Moon Goddess had give him the task to find her, and he was honored to do that. Even if without her request, Liam would willingly do that.Liam tried to sat on b
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
