The tension inside the council room was so evident. Right after the Lycan King learned about the fire that killed all the inhabitants of that small town, he called for an urgent meeting. It was a declaration of war to the Lycan King, though the place was in Bresmont, it was still part of Devonlaire. And not only that, the scene was made it look like a sacrificial ground. Everyone knew that it was part of a witch’s sacifice.Everyone in the room was busy arguing. Everyone had their own opinion about the fire.Liam sat at the far end of the long table where all the Alpha throughout Brestmont were present as also all of the council members.He grimaced as images of those victims flashed through his mind. His heart screamed for revenge while he also wanted to weep for those innocent lives that were lost just because of some stupid ritual.Why does it have to be in Bresmont? That question kept on bugging him for hours.“This is certainly a work of the witches.” Roger Elsworth said through
Ember woke up by the sound of commotion downstairs. She trained her ears to listen to what was that all about. Soldiers were busy running like there was an emergency.She immediately scrambled from the bed and took her robe before she went out of her room. Everyone in the mansion was busy, frantically moving from one point to another.She saw Liam and the other soldiers from the Delta Elite getting ready with all their combat gear. This is really not necessary for them, but according to Solana, it helps them from initial attacks from the hunters which use wolfsbane to weaken and crippled them. The gear shields them, especially the hunters were very traditional, they prefer the use of bow and arrow instead of guns.Solana was there, too. She smiled at her but didn’t say anything. From the looks of it, they were going to some kind of battle, and no one cared to wake her up. Why was she left out? She wanted to protest but instead, she just asked the most logical question.Ember frowned.
The creature with a black cloak kept pacing back and forth as it recalled everything that happened during the sacrificial ritual in Spunbark. That place would have been the perfect spot for the said ritual. It was aligned with the moon that night.“If not for that bitch, that ritual would have been perfect! I sealed off the place so the energy of all the dead souls there will be absorbed, it was well-planned! But that Luna suddenly just appeared out of nowhere! How was that even possible? For a werewolf to find me there, let alone enter my barrier!”The dark creature shouted. Its voice was so sharp and loud that the surface where it stood cracked. It was inside a sealed cave wherein no one would be able to find. It uses the power of dark magic to do things that were unimaginably evil.“Not unless she’s not just a werewolf! She must be a part witch
Liam called for a meeting of all the soldiers present at Bresmont that morning. He wanted to make sure that everybody will be in their heightened senses and should not let their guards down.“There’s a threat not just here in Bresmont, but in the all of Devonlaire. The king wants us to stay alert at all times. This may be the work of witches so we should expect that there’s dark magic involved in it. We all know how dirty and tricky they are.”Liam stood in front of hundreds of soldiers of Bresmont. He know that their number is not that huge, with a witch that was evil and powerful, Liam was so sure that a hundred trained and strong werewolves will be no match, not unless there was a witch on their side.He glanced at where Ember was standing not far away from him. She insisted on going to the meeting even though he forbids her.
For the first time after so many years, Liam felt extreme worry thinking that something was wrong and that Bresmont might be in danger right now. His mind could only think of Ember and if she was safe back in the district.How can he be so careless and let her stay there? He should have listened to his instinct!“What happened, Liam? Why are your tropes here? Was there something wrong?”Corbett, the Alpha of Dervent received Liam and the tropes in his massive mansion.“Something’s definitely not right here, Corbett. Someone came into Bresmont and asked for help. He told us that Dervent is under attack by hunters and you needed our help.” Liam said honestly. He may sound like a fool, but that’s not his main concern right now. Someone played a trick on them.“What?” Cor
The werewolves hunters captured Ember and took her to their secret camp, a place only the hunters knew. It was located at a very secluded area and with the help of some witches they threatened, the place was sealed with magic making it accessable only to those Robert Kingston gave permission to enter.Kingstons had been a werewolf hunter ever since he learned how to use a bow and arrow. His deep hatred for the werewolves drove him to what he is right now, a cruel and merciless hunter.“Mikana thought she’s immune to wolfsbane. Her wounds were healed already. We transfered her in the dungeon, particularly on that cell.”Rolyn, Robert’s younger sister and right hand stood behind him. They were inside his office.Robert was standing in front of his massive floor-to-ceiling window watching hunters do their daily practice to hone their skills. He’s been so strict when it comes to honing on
Never in his life did Liam worry for someone just as he's worried with Ember right now.He never thought that Ember would have this impact on him. She's not someone he cares about because he sees her as someone who's trying to sabotage his life, especially she's Arnulf Jacobson's daughter.''Son, calm down. I'm sure there's a way to find out where those hunters were hiding. We can seek help from the King since she's one of the King's soldiers.''Esmeralda tried to calm Liam. But for Liam, there's not enough words that would make his worried heart calm.He can't fucking think straight. All he's thinking was images of blood and a lifeless body of a woman.Liam keep on pacing back and forth in the living room of the mansion.On the far side of the living room Aron was standing with a stoic
Ember knew that she had to find a way to leave the place or else she'll end up being dead, just like the former luna of Bresmont.Her few days stayed inside the den of the werewolf hunters, she saw how much hatred Kingston had for the werewolves, and he's imparting that kind of hatred to other hunters.He's dragging those half-hearted hunters to have that kind of hate Kingston has. They viewed then them as the most vile creatures that ever existed, something that isn't true. Yes, they were cruel but only to those who deserved it.Ember knew that she'll be tortured soon, it's just a matter of time. With the cruelty and hate Kingston have for the werewolves, Ember was a hundred percent sure that she will never walk out of this pit unscathed. She may even end up dead.Her eyes remained closed but she strained her ears to hear everything that's ha
It’s been a month since Ember happened to escape from the cruelty of werewolf hunters and within those days it was eerily quiet and peaceful in all of Devonlaire. It was something that Ember finds weird and worrisome.She knew that those hunters and witches were just hiding somewhere, plotting unimaginable things on how to eliminate them.Ember felt two warm and strong arms circling her waist and Liam’s fresh scent assaulted her senses. He buried his face in the space between her neck and shoulder, and Ember can’t help but let out a laugh when his stubbles tickled her skin.“Liam! I’m sweaty all over!” Ember protested.She’s sweaty from her sparring with Yuri. After Yuri escaped the fire, Ember saw her change. She’s now determined to learn the art of fighting and Ember will give her anything just
Somewhere deep in the forest outside the walls of Bresmont, a group of werewolf hunters gathered to take refuge in a cave that was not inhabited by any creatures. After the chaos that happened in the camp, few survivors were able to escape and that includes their leader, Robert Kingston, and his sister, Rolyn.A loud cry reverberated through the walls of the cave as Rolyn cried in pain. She was chained to the wall, blood dripping from her wounds while Robert punished her.“Please, stop,” she begged him to stop. But Robert has no plans in listening to his little sister.She’s been a pain in the ass, and now Robert got full of her dumbness.Robert laughed. “You want me to stop?” An edge of mockery can be heard in his tone.Robert went to Rolyn and grabbed her hair forcefully so that she
“Are yous sure you can do this?”Liam asked Ember for the third time. He’s not entirely convinced that Ember is already fit to go to Devonlaire.Ember took the passenger’s seat while Liam slid into the driver’s seat. The Council of Claws had Ember summoned to Devonlaire. The Lycan King wanted to personally talk to Ember about her experience while she was captured by the hunters, something Liam was opposed to.Ember gave Liam a tight smile as she buckled up. She propped herself towards Liam who was starting to revive the engine.“You worry too much, Alpha. Have you forgotten that I defeated a whole army of hunters and find my way back to Bresmont?” There was an edge of pride in her voice. “Standing in front of the council and the King will not have me budge.”Emb
Ember often asked herself before if soulmates were true. Is it really true that the Moon Goddess grants every werewolf a mate, someone who will be with them for the rest of their lives?Ember never really thought that she has a soulmate, until now. She believed that Liam is her soulmate. It may sound weird but she can feel it, deep inside her she can feel how Liam clawed and caged her heart.Liam pushed Ember to lie on the bed, Ember didn’t protest at all. They were both consumed by the fire that they were feeling. Though she finds it weird that Liam is this aggressive towards her, she just went with the flow, she likes it anyway.A soft moan escaped from her mouth when Liam slipped his lips to her neck. His body was pressed against her and she could feel how hard he is right now. Liam’s hands were all over her, squeezing, caressing, and feeling her every skin
Ember woke up in an unfamiliar room. The blinding lights made it hard for her to see where she actually was, but the scent was quite familiar to her.High ceiling, huge, comfortable bed, and the scent of someone she knew assaulted her senses when she turned and buried her face in the pillow.“Oh, god!” She groaned. Pain shot through her body when she tried to move out of bed.Then she remembered everything that happened. The hunters attack Bresmont, she was captured and taken to their camp and she was tortured. She escaped. She remembered it all too vividly, how she killed almost all of those hunters in the camp and how much she tried to go back to Bresmont despite the wounds she sustained.She strained her eyes and let them roam around the room. The design was familiar.Liam. She can smell Liam's scent
“He’s out of his mind.” Chris closed and rubbed his eyes in frustration and annoyance.How can Liam, an Alpha of one of the districts of Devonlaire, go to ask help from a witch? Sure, that witch was not like the others who like to wreck chaos in the realm, but dealing with them is prohibited, not if the King permits. And given Liam’s situation right now where the King wanted him to go back to Bresmont, it will be a disaster.“Someone has to stop him, or else we will all be dragged by this. We all know how cruel the Lycan King is. He’s not gonna take this easy.” Kean was edgy. “We need to go now.” He glanced at Solana who was also pacing back and forth, uneasiness was consuming her.“Go. Bring him here. Drag him if you must.” Chris pursed his lips into a thin line.This is what h
“Damn you, Liam!” Kean cursed when he tried to connect with Liam again through their mind link but he was already blocked by the Alpha. “Hard-headed asshole!”Kean felt hopeless as she tried again, but to no avail. His brother is really determined to save the Luna all by himself, even with the King’s command not to find Ember. Kean was sure as hell that Liam will be in great trouble if he’s not going to obey the King’s command, not only will Liam be compromised, but also the whole Ashdown name.Liam might be convicted of Treason and the worst part of it is that there’s a possibility that he might be executed.“The King ordered him to come go back here at Bresmont, but Liam has other plans.” Kean looked at his father, Chris, helplessly.Kean may be the naughty and the not-so-serious type between the two brothers, but he’s the more logical thinker tha
Liam dropped on his knees as he bowed in the presence of the Lycan King. He believed that there’s no one except the King who can help him find where Ember is right now. He asked the King to help him locate Ember since the Lycan King knew everything about Devonlaire. He’s more than a century old, he knew a lot of things about his kingdom, especially about his enemies.The King chuckled when Liam begged him for help.“Don’t you have any faith in Ember Jacobson?” The King is amused. He could still remember how this alpha disagreed with his marriage with Ember. The King wanted to laugh, he couldn’t believe how weak this alpha to fall in love that easily.The Lycan King didn’t believe in love. For him, there’s only hate in this world full of cruelty and sadness. His hundreds of years of existence had taught him that love does not exist, it is only a product of one’s imaginatio
