NYX’s POV

“There is no way I’m getting on that giant creaking monster.”

I meant every word of it, staring right into Clyde’s eyes as he tried to convince me to ride a Ferris wheel with them.

We were at Pleasure park and it’s been a great time embracing nature and exploring different pleasure stands like the ring toss, dart throwing, and their Circus stand.

But from the moment I set my eyes on that giant wheel at the center of the park, I knew I wasn’t going to go anywhere near that thing and now everyone else in the group is interested in risking their lives for some cheap thrills except me?

“You guys probably have nine lives but I have just one and I plan to guard it with care.” I looked away from Clyde towards the other guys who were already getting restless with impatience.

“What’s up with you and your girl, Clyde?” Gus asked, throwing his hands in the air.

I almost choked on my saliva, blinking my wide eyes at Gus.

“He- he’s not my-“

“She’s not my-“

“Yeah, yeah whatever.” Gus

    Nyx's POV The girls turned to leave but Elrond was quick to drag them in and really lock the door this time. All eyes turned to Cindy. “You said you locked the door!” “Well I thought I did, I’m sorry!” She replied, panic evident in her voice. Meanwhile, the girls were already squirming in Elrond’s arms, kicking and screaming. “Let me go, you freak!” One of the girls cried out. “He looks human, that’s the freak.” She glanced at Clyde whose frown deepened. “You don’t want to know what this freak can do to you,” Clyde replied, taking predatory steps toward them. “Behave and you might actually get out of here alive. Got it?” The girls trembled, nodding vigorously under Clyde’s icy glare. The rest of us quickly gathered in one of the bathroom stalls while Cindy and Gus watched the ladies. “Now what do we do?” I threw my hands up in the air. “We’ve got another problem on our plate.” “There are two options,” Narin replied, dramatically. Typical Narin, even when we were discussing

    NYX’s POVExhaustion weighed upon us as we dragged ourselves to the nearest coffee shop close to the pleasure park. It was quite fascinating to see a coffee shop open in the evening, but of course, I should know that the human world is different from our realm in many ways than one.“Are you okay?” Clyde asked me as we drew closer to the shop. “Are you kidding? I should be asking you that.” Came my reply, unable to hide the perplexity in my voice. Clyde chuckled, gently taking my hand in his immediately we arrived at the coffee shop. It was a quaint, little shop with murals painted in warm colors covering the perimeter of the walls. The aroma of fresh coffee beans and cream made me instantly relax, a sigh escaping my lips. The six of us quickly found the biggest table in the shop and made ourselves comfortable, which was quite easy because the shop was nearly empty.Cindy dropped down on her chair, the back of her palm on her head as she let out a dramatic sigh.“Tsk, tsk, tsk….toda

I could hear my heartbeat in my ears as each slammed harder than the last.“Shhh!” Clyde snapped his head around, wearing a frown. “Be quiet!” His voice was a harsh whisper, shooting us earring glares before we resumed our walk.We drew closer to the old shack which lead to the bunker, trying to avoid being seen by the watchers in the forest. “Gosh, we made it!” Cindy whispered in excitement.“Not yet, we don’t know what could happen next.” Just like Gus replied, we were ridden with uncertainty about what lay ahead of us.“What is that?” Elrond asked, pointing to a shadow close to the shack.“Probably just a tree shadow,” Clyde said and no one countered him because we all weren’t sure of many things because of the trick of the night.“Welcome.”I was drenched in cold dread at the familiar voice of aunt Garcia and as I turned around, I hoped it was

    Nyx’s POVMy blood ran cold and all I could hear were the haunting words of Aunt Gracia replaying in my ears.“Your case will be taken up by the guardians.”The weight of the words caused me to stagger backwards, with tears stinging my eyes as I stared wide-eyed at the emotionless face of my mother’s sister.“M-miss Pendleton…”“Save it.” she shoved her palm dismissively at my face and it was clear that my pleas were going to fall on deaf ears.“Damn, she’s doomed…” I heard Gus’ trembling voice whisper behind me and the reality of my situation glared at my face.The guardians…my fate was in the hands of the guardians.The Guardians were a council of seven powerful beings representing every kingdom in the realm which are the demigods, witches, fairies, werewolves, vampires, sirens and elves. There were other smaller clans like the banshees and trolls, but these seven were the most powerful in the realm. I’d never been summoned by the guardians before but I’ve gone through Salvador’s c

    Nyx's POV“Where are we going?” I asked Aunt Garcia whose wiry fingers were wrapped around my wrists as she dragged me along with her through the west woods. All that greeted my ears were the chirping of crickets and the hoots of an eastern screech owl reverberating through the forest and I wondered if Aunt Garcia heard my question. Night had completely befallen us now and the only measly source of light was the crescent moon that shone in the midst of twinkling stars. A shudder coursed through me as icy wind drifted to and fro. I was cold, tired and hungry, letting Aunt Garcia pull me along as she took long strides through the bushy paths.I might have been surrounded with darkness, but it was clear as day that we weren’t heading back to the dorms, except this was an unfamiliar route I’d never taken before.Several moments passed and we were still plunging deeper into the woods. The alarms in my head began to go off, fear slowly crippling my racing mind.“A-Aunt Garcia…” I stutter

    NYX's POVAs soon as the giant Mahogany doors slammed shut after Aunt Garcia, Narek’s saccharine smile suddenly disappeared and his jolly exterior was replaced with a frown.“Look what you’ve gotten yourself into.” He shook his head, regarding me with his pair of icy blue eyes.Unable to hold his cold gaze, I looked away. I didn’t come here to be lectured about my act of rebellion. Can we just get on with today’s class without all of these dramas?“Well, what did I expect?” He let out a scoff, circling me slowly in a predatory motion.“You’re just a typical spoiled princess who seizes every opportunity to get herself some extra attention…” He paused, wearing a mocking sneer on his lips.“…and to think I had expected something more from an Uren heir.”Those harsh words cut through the last string of restraint I’d held onto for my dear life and courtesy went flying off the window. I was done with this man always treating me like dirt. If he was going to be an asshole, then it was about

    Nyx POV“Why did my aunt send me to you?” I asked, watching Narek as he scribbled on that little note of his. His blond hair had grown since the last time I saw him, falling freely over his face.Just like I expected, I got no answer to my questions. That won’t stop me from trying to find out all I needed to. This man knew a lot more about me than I had thought, and it was only fair I made my own enquiries, even though he seemed like a tough nut to crack.“So…are you one of the guardians? Is that why she sent me to you?” Narek paused, slowly raising his head from the book he was previously buried in. His sparkling blue eyes glared at me…hard. I swallowed, clamping my mouth shut before it got me into trouble but I knew it was only a matter of time before curiosity gets the best of me again.I watched him pull out an ancient scroll, spreading it out in front of him. The scripts looked runic, and ancient, like a language that has gone extinct.“Damn, you must be really old to be able to

    Narek’s POVI stared hard at the girl in front of me, whose eyes wielded the same intensity as mine.I had no idea she’d be such a handful. Ms Pendleton painted her to be an angel but the girl in front of me was far from angelic, even though her features appeared to be.“What did you say?” I asked her as she slowly rose to her feet, holding on to my stern gaze.“I’m not going to let you toss me around. I’ve had enough of that.” She growled. Easy there, tiger.“Look, I don’t have time for any of this drama, Uren princess and I couldn’t care less about the unfortunate events that have taken place in your life, so you either get out, or kneel as punishment for your misbehaviour.”I had my eyes on her, watching her every move, but nothing prepared me for what she did next.I could have sworn she’d gone mad, because she swung her hand toward my face, trying to hit me but I stopped her midway and her hands hung there in the air.“Are you out of your mind?” I snapped, keeping her hands hangin

    Nyx's POV "Noooo" I yelled and fell to my knees. Ms. Toddleboar's warning resounded in my eardrums. "A war is coming and it is your fight. It is going to be a deadly one, you will lose your loved ones but at last, you shall be victorious. But you have to be ready and face all you meet, else you fall into the darkness and your ability taken away from you like it never existed in the first place" This was what she was speaking about, my eyes turned to Narek who was sprawled on the floor, his eyes held so much pain as he gazed into mine. Aman stood above him, panting heavily as blood trickled down his injured face. Clyde's tattoos and runes had finally wiped away from his skin and he fell limply to the floor, drained. Tears gushed out of my eyes as I clasped my hand over my mouth and cried bitterly. Aman moved away from Narek's side and joined Otis who was standing beside Sylvia. "No, no, no this can't be happening" I muttered breathlessly, running towards Narek who was hardly

    Nyx's POV "I came back as soon as I sensed you were out of your hiding after searching for you all over the woods. How dare you stress me out like that!" Sylvia scolded me. Her voice was coated in anger which she had bottled up in her chest. I rolled my eyes inwardly. "You ingrate, I have tried everything to explain things to you but you wouldn't adhere. In the long run, you too shall be rewarded greatly only if you and your aunt allowed this exercise to take place. But what did you two do instead? Invite your weak friends to stand up against us and now you are yelling for us to stop tormenting them" "I am no ingrate Sylvia and I wish to remind you that this mission will remain impossible as far as I am still alive and breathing" I retorted and she smiled darkly. "Even if it costs the life of your dear mate and friends?" She asked while raising her hands in the air and at the same time, a dark energy enveloped Otis, Narek, and Clyde, raising them high in the sky as they struggl

    Nyx's POV After some time of resting just like Clyde suggested, the antidote worked fervently and Claire bounced back to life in minutes. I was glad she was now safe but at the same time, I needed to make sure my mates, Narek and Otis were okay as well. "No Nyx, it's dangerous. I can't let you go out there alone" Clyde stopped me when I was about living our temporary hideout. "Then come with me. This is my battle Clyde and I won't be able to bear it if they lose their life in my place. Remember what happened in the case of Miss Pendleton, I wouldn't be able to bear losing another loved one to the hands of those evil beings" I returned stubbornly. He rubbed his face in frustration, "Still Nyx, I don't think it is right for you to come out to join the fight. I have been in a fight with Otis and I could tell you that with the ability he possesses, he will do well in taking care of the Sorcerers. Not to talk of Narek who is a master in the arts of magic, defense, and attacks" Clyde

    Narek's POV The pain I felt from trying to break free from the barrier of radiant energy I was trapped in was agonizing and I roared loudly in frustration. My mind wandered back to Nyx who had run off long before now and Aman is back already. I wondered if she is safe and neither Aman nor Sylvia were able to get to her. Those sorcerers did not seem like they were going to give me some time to absorb the electrifying effects their cage was pushing into my skin as Gin formed some sort of dark ball and sent it my way. This was me in my vulnerable state, I was bound and unable to easily break free from the cocoon they put their hands together to create. It was a powerful one that was sizzling with electric fury and threatening to burn my skin as soon as I attempt breaking away. The dark ball penetrated into my chest and I howled out in pain, the effect constricting my heart in such a painful manner, I thought he was going to pull it out of my body. Odin did not seem like he was don

    Otis's POV The Sorcerer who was standing just before Narek's frail body fell to the floor due to the impact of my wolf's collision with him and the older one instantly rushed to his side to help him up. I made my way to Narek's side, still in my wolf form, and licked his wounds to express my concern. He squinted his eyes at me, trying to make out my identity and when he did, he released a frustrated sigh. "Otis, you still came after all I told you" he grumbled and groaned in pain, "Nyx, have you seen her anywhere?" He managed to ask amidst the growl that was coming from his throat. Narek's bones began to crack and his skin color began to change, I could tell he was on the verge of transformation, and quickly stepped away from him. I had just taken four steps backward when my feet were suddenly swept off the floor but I was quick to regain my composure due to Xavier's inner strength and resilience. My eyes met with that of the older Sorcerer who was glaring at me coldly. He se

    Narek's POV Once Nyx began running away from the evil sorcerers for safety, I raised my staff to the sky, my eyes gleaming with a mix of determination and a hint of uncertainty. The elders and late Miss Pendleton's sister sure were daring but I wouldn't want to appear frightened or intimidated by the presence. I would do all it takes to make sure Nyx is safe from them, even if it means fighting them off with my very last strength. "He will be easy to handle, Go on Sylvia. Get your daughter back to us, Gin can go with you" The older-looking elder in their midst stated. "No, I am going to fight him instead. He made a fool out of me earlier but it's high time I put him in his place" Gin snarled while glaring daggers at me. "I'm fine on my own Odin, I can find my daughter and bring her back without the help of anyone, let alone a weakling" Sylvia eyed Gin before snapping her fingers and disappearing into the air. "Good then, I guess it's worth a show" Odin cackled mischievously set

    Nyx's POV With a swift speed, I never expected to possess, I grabbed Aunt Gacia and fell to the floor with her in my arms. Her face became pale in seconds and tears dropped from my eyes. She slowly reached for my face and wiped my tears away, smiling sadly. "That's him, the intruder!" One of the elders growled as he made to attack Narek who fought back with matching strength while the others stood on standby and watched on. "No, please don't die on me Aunt, we need to escape here together" I cried loudly, pulling her to my bosom. Her bleeding wound was already staining my hands but I did not mind. "Nyx, you must go now" she coughed, dark blood spurting out of her mouth. "No, I'm not going anywhere without you" I returned stubbornly, struggling to get her to stand on her feet. "Stop being stupid Nyx and save yourself" She clasped my hand, staring right into my eyes in pure concern. "I'm sorry I couldn't do much to help you but I believe it is not over until it is over.

    Nyx's POV "Garcia, haven't we waited long enough? Why is it taking so long to change?" The grumpy elder, Aman complained after he had asked Aunt Garcia to change her outfit to no avail. "Thank you Aunt" I whispered to her ear after she had broken the news about Narek coming to my rescue to me. She only squeezed my hand lovingly, a satisfied glint in her eyes, "anytime niece". Sylvia noticed the both of us and cast Garcia a warning glance, Miss Pendleton did not seem bothered by it anyways. "Garcia, a word" Mother requested, slowly moving away from the table where I lay and pulling Aunt Garcia alongside her. "Not again, why do you ladies always find a way to slow us down in everything" "Enough Aman, let the sisters talk" the Elder with the ancient book reprimanded grumpy Aman for always complaining. "What an insatiable being" I muttered under my breath as I glared at him from behind. I was certain this was Aunt Gacia's way of stalling them and I was grateful things were falling

    Narek's POV I barged into Miss Pendleton's office, my fist clenched in anger and my face stoic and unsmiling. Her back was turned against me as she stood before the window at the back of her desk. Staring outside the bustling surroundings of the school, she sipped from the green mug she was holding in her hands. "What is this I hear about Nyx? She was abducted right under your nose and there's nothing you are doing to see to her return?" I asked in rage, trying my best to keep myself together and not cause a ruckus. Unlike me, miss Pendleton was at peace and did not seem so worried about anything. "Did they snitch on me already?" She chortled instead and sipped from her mug, "Whom did you hear about this from? Narin Oregon, her roommate or Otis Agni, Nyx's mate?" "That is not what is important at the moment Miss Pendleton" I returned through gritted teeth while tightening my hands which was in a fist. "I understand they are worried about her. Why wouldn't they? Nyx conside
