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
Liam rested for another two days to fully recover his strenght. Brynn’s herbal teas has contributed a lot to his fast recorey and another factor to it was the upcoming meeting his own daughter. Liam couldn’t seen to wait anymore, so after three days of resting and trying to hel his wound, he finally decided to meet his only daughter.Hope is already three months old and Liam suddeny felt like it was forever. He wanted to jold her in his arms and he can’t wait to bring Ember back here in Bresmont and let her meet her own daughter.Much to his father’s protest, Liam left his room without the help of anyone. He can now stand on his own without much of wiggling his legs. The first day, he was literally in a vegetative state.Brynn explained to him that the poison had cause so much damage to his body, good thing that his body was able to survived, she considered it as a miracle. Liam, on the other hand didn’t tell anyone about his conversation with the Moon Goddess, he’ll keep it as a secr
Though Liam was very eager to start his journey on finding where Ember was, he didn’t now how he’s going to start or where he’s going to find her. Devonlaire is such a vast place, and not only that, there were still places outside Devonlaire.The Moon Goddess didn’t even gave a clue as to where he’s going to start.“Why don’t you go to Apo? Maybe you could use some help, she has this visions tht are always accurate.” Sol suggested one day when Liam came to visit Hope.He was still in Bresmont, waiting for his wound to finally heal. Much as he wanted to go already, he can’t since the would kept on aching. Brynn tod him that it was because of the poison. Liam had no choice but the wait for it to finally heal.Liam agreed to Solana’s suggestion. Apo was the only one who could give him some help.“I’ll go to their camp first thing in the morning.” Liam was really determine to find Ember.Liam planted a soft kiss on Hopes head as he placed her back in her crib.It has been days since he wo
Liam was getting ready to go to Reed’s place. He needed to talk to Apo as soon as possible. He’s been slacking these past few days and he needed to act now, he’s been taking his vacation way too long. Liam felt a ting of guilt inside him. Ember was probably waiting for him somewhere in the realm, and here he is doubting himself .After the confrontation he had with his mother, Liam knew there’s something inside him that changed the way he sees about trusting the closest person he had.Liam wondered if who among the werewolves in Bresmont can he trust.Solana? She’s his cousin and she’s a very close friend to Ember.How about Aron? He knew him ever since they were kids and Liam knew how faithful he is to the werewolf clan.Liam closed his eyes and massaged his temple. He’s been having a massive headache for thinking too much.If Kean should still be alive, Liam knows he’s the one he can truly trust.“Alpha!” Solana barged into his room, she was catching her breath as she leaned on the
Liam left Bresmont and went to visit Apo at Reed’s place, in the Black Mountain in Derbent. After he decapitated Robert Liam left immediately. He doesn’t want to hear any comments from his father, which he’s sure that there would be tons.Though he doesn’t want to leave his daughter, he trusts Solana that she would take care of her while he’s away and looking for her mother.He kissed Hope goodbye and promised her that he will not return until he finds Ember. A promise that Liam was determined to fulfill no matter how, no matter how impossible it is to find her in this vast realm.“The Captain will see you now.” A huge man with spike hair and his body was covered with marks and tattoos.Liam nodded his head. The man lead him towards the inner part of the forest. It has pathways leading to a much bigger cabin. Liam didn’t realize this place existed when he stayed months ago.“He’s waiting for you inside.”Reed was inside, he was sitting at the base of the long table and Apo was there t
A little girl from a secluded farm outside the Kingdom of Devonlaire padded her little feet on the muddy grounds of the forest. She was breathing hard as she tried her very best to run faster going towards their small cottage outside the forest.She must tell her mama what she found near the enchanted cave. Erin knew this things is a life and death situation. That lady she found laying on the sacred lake was unconscious and she doesn’t know how to save her.“I must get mama. The beautiful lady needs to be saved.” With that in mind, Erin ran as fast as could.“Mama! Mama!” She was yelling from the top of her lungs as she approached their humble home. “Mama! You should go to the cave quickly!” Erin didn’t mind the curious stares of their neighbors.Ursula, Erin’s mother, came out of the cottage with worry etched on her beautiful face. She heard her daughter screaming and she thought that Erin was in trouble again.“Erin! Why are you yelling like that?” She wanted to reprimand her daught
She opened her eyes and felt the softness of the mattress underneath her. The first thing that got on her mind was where she’s at right now.Ever so slowly, she opened her eyes and only to close it again when the peircing raise of the sun assaulted her eyes.She adjusted herself on the bed that she was on, avoiding the sun’s rays. Again she opened her eyes and found that she was in a small room. The wall was made of wood and the ambiance was so refreshing.She scrambled through her mind, she can’t seem to find any memories. She can’t remember what happened to her before she came into this room.She can’t even remember her own name and she doesn’t know who she is.Fear enveloped her when she realized that her mind was empty. No memories, she has no name, no past and no idea of who she really was.Because of the sudden surge of fear and insecurity, she pulled the crisp blanket and tried to cover her body. The dress that she wore was a little bit sheer.She scanned the room, there was no
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
