Everyone on the room had gone speechless from the story that Ernaline had just told them. " Lucretia really do all of this?" Lewis asked speechless as he stared at a Ernaline. Who would have thought that their Luna that is so highly respected was nothing but a murder and she didn't just kill one person but an entire family."She had done a lot more than this to become the destined Luna" she spoke, Xavier did see a word he just stood with his eyes wide open listening to their conversation.Ernaline knew he would need time, a lot in order to digest what he had just heard about his family.She turned her eyes back to Lewis but his attention was on Xavier, he was worried about his best friend, it was so visible on his face." Monsters live here on Earth as humans" Ernaline said getting Lewis attention.'' that's so true" he added,Ernaline and Lewis could feel the room becoming very hot, they both turned to look at Xavier whose eyes were glowing red as red as the colour of blood his claws
Luna Lucretia opened her eyes slowly as she began to feel a lot better, she could see that she was in a hospital, see Alpha Benson sitting beside her and at the far corner on the couch was Allen who was fast asleep. A smile crept on her face, this was the family she had built with a lot of struggle and they were here for her during her hard times.She ran her hands in Alpha Benson's hair as she watched him sleep, Benson could feel the hand which caused him to open his eyes, he saw Lucretia awake, he had a smile on his face."How are you feeling?" He asked.She gently removed the oxygen masks from her nose before replying to her husband."I feel a lot better, thank you for saving me" she voice"For a moment I was so scared, I don't want to lose you and you were there for me through my hard times and my darkest days, even though you knew about me and Chel, you saved my life multiple times, I'm supposed to take care of you" he said with a smile." I know that but still thank you for savi
Xavier opened his eyes due to the bright light shining into his room, he tried adjusting his eyes to be able to see clearly, when he did he could see an image of a woman smiling at him."Come on honey, it's late, you are going to be late for work" she said before giving him a peck on the cheek and pulling his blanket off his body."Get up, we have a lot to do before you leave for work, your dad and uncle Mark are preparing breakfast" she informed before picking his clothes that was scattered on the floor."Mom!" Xavier called out."Yes, is there anything you need?" She asked as she stared at him.Xavier quickly rushed to her giving her a hug."What's this for?'"You're alive" he said as tears ran down his face." What do you mean, of course I'm alive, why wouldn't I be?" she asked as she tried comforting him."Mom I missed you" he hugged him tightly. Xavier couldn't help but cry as her felt her heart beat, she was alive just like him." Honey if you continue like this you would be late
Karen opened her eyes as she was greeted by a strong headache that hit her the moment she was conscious, she closed her eyes for a bit hoping it would go away but it didn't.She adjusted her eyes her eyes to the room as she found herself on the floor directly under Oyin's bed, she turned her head to the side to see Oyin also lying just a distance beside her"We must have gotten drunk yesterday because that would be the only explanation why I was sleeping on the floor" Karen said to herself as she struggled to remove Oyin's leg which was on her body before trying to move, she shifted her head which hit the bed causing her more pain."Ouch... fuck, how did I even get here?" she asked herself as she carefully stood up from where she laid, she moved to the mirror immediately checking how bad the bruise on her head would be. But luckily for her there wasn't any bruise which brought smiles to her face Karen, she decided to call Tyler because she had informed him the day before that she woul
Xavier grab his things after having breakfast with Ernaline and Lewis, he walk straight outside the door, he wasn't ready to take the car anywhere as he didn't feel like drivingHe put in his ear pods turning on the music blasting it at full volume as a seat on the bus that rode towards his office, Xavier got into the office to see few people present. He greeted them before making his way upstairs.It was a bit obvious that he sad and depressed, both his speech and movement were the same way.He got upstairs and checked out Tyler's office making sure everything was in order before going to prepare his coffee, he looked at myself in the mirror one last time taking a deep breath in before putting on a smile on his face. He walked back outside as he planted himself on his desk waiting for Tyler to arrive, he picked up his phone as he screwed up and down trying to look for something that could actually cheer him up, although he was happy this morning with Lewis and Ernaline, it didn't tak
Xavier and Tyler immediately walked towards the car, they both strapped their seatbelts ready to take the journey to the hospital.Xavier didn't know what to expect but it was hoping Luna Lucretia was in a very bad state, in less than 20 minutes they arrived at the hospital.They both got down from the car and walked towards the reception, "Hi we're here to see Luna Lucrecia, we heard she was admitted here yesterday" Tyler spoke as they waited for the lady in the reception to communicate to them" yes she's inside with the Alpha and her son" she informed with a smile on her face." Room 305, that's our VIP special room""Alright thank you"" thank you!" Xavier said in a girly voice before walking off with Tyler."Seriously there's something really strange you are extremely excited why? You've never meant the Luna before?" He was forced to ask."Nope, I have never met her before today will be the first time and the most memorable day of both our lives" he said as they walked in.Tyler c
Tyler had dropped Xavier in front of Ernaline's apartment, Lewis looked outside the window and could see him getting out of the car." I'll see you tomorrow, make sure you take good care of yourself" he voiced "Thank you sir" he said with a smile." Now you owe me two dinners don't forget" he pointed out, Xavier nodded before walking into the house." Who is that?" Ernaline asked" That's Tyler, Xavier's boss and Karen's elder brother" Lewis explained before leaving the window to open the door for Xavier."Sorry I'm late..."" What the hell were you thinking?" Ernaline asked cutting him of." What did I do?" He said with a smile knowing fully well what she was talking about." Don't act smart with me you know what I'm talking about" " No I don't know what you're talking about, could you explain to me so I can understand"" What you did at the hospital" "Oh that, it was nothing. I was just playing with her, I didn't kill her did I?""Xavier, what you did wasn't right, Lewis voiced lo
As soon as Lewis got home, he took a cold shower before lying on his bed.He wanted Karen to be safe as much as possible but at the same time everything now that Ernaline had told him most complicated things on how could he break her that much by telling her such a painful thing about her past.But at the same time if he did not tell her she wouldn't be able to escape The troubles of the realms and it was all his fault for bringing her back, he wanted her to have a change and at least fight for herself this second chance she got but now everything was being complicated even to the point that he had dragged his best friend into the mess as well.As he laid on his bed pondering on what to do his door opened revealing Xavier with two cups of juice" hey why aren't you sleeping' Lewis asked as he sat up straight" I should be asking you that question, well I feel you should have stayed with your grandma, you've just met her and you should spend a the time you can with her not me." " that
“Karen!" the sound of Lewis's voice echoed throughout the forest, He was sure that this was Karen. The figures sighed before turning around, Lewis couldn't believe his eyes, he stood still. Frozen, shivers running down his spine, “Karen!” whispered with tears falling from his eyes, his angel the woman he dedicated his life to and the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, the same woman who wants die and disappear in his arms. She was standing right in front of him, looking beautiful and radiant as ever.Great Lewis, go ahead and start hallucinating, it's so early in the morning and you didn't even have anything to drink” he said to himself as he placed his hands on his waist still staring at Karen figure took a deep breath before closing his eyes.“It will all go away and fade” he voiced before reopening them but the figure did not go away neither did he stop seeing her. “You are silly as the day we met” Karen spoke with a smile.“It's me, I am real, you're not jus
Lewis arrived at the wedding venue an hour later, dressed in a black suit with a white shirt and a silver tie. He felt nervous as he entered the hall where the ceremony was taking place He greeted them politely as he made his way to the front row where the groomsmen were seated. He found a seat beside Xavier who hugged him as soon as he sat down. “Hey man, good to see you. You look as good as you can manage” Lewis rolled his eyes but chuckled at his best friend’s mild insult “I still look better than you though” “I though you weren’t going to make it. You were almost late” Lewis smiled sheepishly and said apologetically. “Yeah…sorry about that. I was having second thoughts.” Xavier shook his head and said understandingly. “It’s okay, Lewis. I get it. It’s hard for you to be here.” Lewis nodded and said sadly. “Yeah…it is.” Xavier put his arm around Lewis’s shoulder and said reassuringly. “But I’m glad you’re here, Lew. It means a lot to me. And to Allen too.” Lewis looked at X
Lewis walked slowly with hesitant footsteps towards the little plot of land where Karen’s body disappeared, He came here every day as much as he could to spend time with her because he didn’t want her to be lonely. He felt his heart constrict in pain at the sight of the familiar headstone. He could never get used to it no matter how much he came here. To him, it shouldn’t even exist and Karen should be by his side. He knelt down beside the grave and placed the bouquet of purple lilies in his hand. They reminded him of her so he bought some on the way here. A stray tear dropped on one of the flowers and he reached up to clean it. “Hey, Karen. It’s me, again” He said with a painful chuckle “I miss you so much, baby. You have no idea how hard it is to live without you. I still can’t believe you are gone but this, right here.” He said gesturing to her tomb “is the harshest reminder that you aren’t here if the fact that I don’t see your face when I wake up in the morning isn’t. It’s been
Karen’s family couldn’t believe she was gone, their sister was no more, Sylvester’s heart scattered into a million piece. Kelsy had given Lewis the letters she had written before she died. The letters that Karen had left for her loved ones were filled with love and emotion. To her brother, Sylvester and Tyler, she wrote about how much she loved them and how proud she was of the men they had become. She was grateful to have them in her life. To her best friend, Oyin, she wrote about their friendship and how much it had meant to her. She forgave her understanding that she had no choice and was driven by her love for Allen. To her father, she wrote about how much she had always looked up to him and how much she would miss him. And to Xavier, she wrote about her hope for his future and how she knew he would make a great Alpha. Lewis was the most hurt and broken hearted. When the letters were delivered, each recipient was deeply moved by their contents. Tyler, in particular, was str
The police arrived and Lucretia was scared, she thought that Jayson did a clean job. She was also surprised to see Xavier alive and well. "You're under arrest for attempted murder", the policemen said. "I'm innocent", she screamed. "What's going on here?", Alpha Benson asked The police men explained everything to him and he was in shock. "Lucretia you did what?" "Benson don't listen to them, I didn't do anything" she voiced struggling with the police. "You did a lot, remember killing my mother and her family, you also tried to kill me so, he would know that I am his biological son, the child of Chel, whom you murdered” Xavier said. Alpha Benson was shocked. Both news felt like a hard blow. What did he just hear? "Is that true Lucretia?", he asked. Not understanding a word. "No, it's not true" she voiced denying it all. " Really?" Xavier said pulling out his phone and playing the recording of her confessing to him. Alpha Benson face turned sour as well as the Luna. "I am
Karen sat thinking about everything the goddess has showed her. She wanted to make the right decision to make peace between each clan. She didn't want anyone to sacrifice their life even again. She took a deep breath grab a pen and paper and wrote some words on it. With expression on her face and tears that ran down her cheeks Kelsey could tell that Karen was willing to give her life up to save both clans from this ongoing curse she immediately picked up her phone putting a call through to Lewis. He was busy with the court meetings but Lewis secretary passed on to him phone after it kept ringing. On hearing the words that Kelsy said he stood up immediately raced into the car. He tried his best to get there as fast as he could. His eyes run through the clock and it was just 15 minutes more before they hand struck 12. Lewis hurried to the ritual site, his heart racing. He couldn't believe what he had just heard from Kelsy. Karen was about to do something reckless and dangerous, a
"Let's make things right." Xavier smiled, and for the first time in a long time, he felt a flicker of hope. Jayson was so angry and grabbed a gun from the table, "Do you both think this is all a game?" He asked. " Jayson listen to me you need to drop the gun someone is going to get really hurt if you don't drop it" Tyler voiced slowly pulling Xavier behind himself. "You think this is a game, what makes you understand him and not me?" He spoke still with the gun facing them. "Jayson calm down" "No, we used to be fine, it was just us what happened Tyler. What?" Tyler took a breath trying to gain control of the situation at hand. "Listen to me, I still love you. I do but you doing this is only going to hurt me" he added trying to talk him out of it. " Don't you think, I'm dumb? I know you don't love me anymore but I'm not going to let anyone get you either" he voiced pulling the trigger. "Get out of the way", Sylvester screamed while grabbing the supposed target, Xavier pulled T
After reading the message Tyler rushed into Sylvester's room telling him about everything that was going on. Sylvester took a good look at the video and with a very clear observation he noticed 'dark coal' written on one of the bags on the floor. That must be where they are, it was a building construction site but after some years the company was facing some financial issues and had to close up. Tyler immediately grabbed his car keys, there was no way he was going to let Xavier go even though it meant him signing a dumb illegal contract. They drove in great speed and packed in a distance. They both came down, they have no idea about what the inside looked like and how many men there were. As Sylvester snuck into the building, he tried to be as quiet as possible. He could hear the sound of Jayson's voice echoing down the hall, and he followed the sound to a large room. He peered around the corner, and he saw Jayson standing in front of a large machine, while a bound and helpless
Karen woke up due to the light that shone into the room, it was already morning, she turned to her side and her eyes fell on Lewis, his face reminded her of the previous night. She blushed, she couldn't believe it, she was his and he was hers. She slowly stood from the bed making sure not to wake Lewis, she placed a peck on his cheeks before going to use the bathroom. Karen had her bath and got changed, Lewis was still in bed, Karen decided to let him sleep. She wondered around Lewis's mansion. There were rooms everywhere. She walked along the corridor still with a sweet smile on her face. She suddenly stopped when she heard a loud crashing sound, like someone just fell to the ground and dropped some items, she immediately followed the sound into a room. It was a library. It was filled with rolls and rolls of books, she immediately caught a glimpse of the lady on the floor, she rushed towards her, picking her up. "Are you okay?" She asked, helping her to her feet. "Yes, I just
