NATHANIEL'S POV IT BECAME A Race between speed and time as at that moment I didn't know what to do and how I was going to react about the whole situation, with their headlights ahead of us blaring in the darkness it left ua divided on if we wanted to get into a fight with the men right in front of us. As much as we were angry and it it felt like a right way to take out our anger, it took a look to exist face to know it wasn't the right thing to do , he was totally angry and was breathing heavily with his face in a transition of being in between human and Werewolf. If we engaged these men in any fight at that meknt it was certainly one that would end their lives. Being the only one still in check of my emotions for Obvious reasons I turned the car in a smooth Three Sixty Zero degrees. "What the hell are you doing?" He growled at me. Obviously, he was ready to take on the men and I wasn't gracing that request.
NATHANIEL'S POV.ADELE'S SkyFall played slowly from the radio, and it felt swift and soft, matching the tempo of the moment we have at hand.The sky was actually falling as it began to rain lazily drizzling at first, before becoming heavy showers.We watched as the men alighted their cars o after each other, with Raphael coming out last with a cigar stuck between his lips.I looked around at everyone counting them again as quickly as possible, at everyone present at that moment.They all looked high and ready to kick our asses, it got me thinking of how brain washed they were to think they could do so.No guns, good!… I thought to myself, Raphael was facing total losers and had come to this fight with just hefty men he most probably had under his payroll. I listened as One or two of them were yelling for him to let them kick our asses, one was holding a huge spanner.I knew this wasn't going to be a fair fight as we were outmatched two to about twenty, so I put all my attention on Ra
OLIVIA'S POV YOU KNOW that seventh sense feeling you get whenever things are going bad elsewhere? I was getting every bit of it and did not know why, to make matters worse Jane was too and we had spoken about it till I must have fallen asleep both talking, worrying and waiting. It was funny that I had slept for a long time in that state of mind that felt like f**king withering years, when I opened my eyes finally I saw that it was afterglow and raining heavily. I could hear the door squeals open and thenbangs shut. Were they back yet…I thought to myself. There were footsteps downstairs. I bit my lip as I pulled the duvet away from me, knowing it was only probably Jane, not someone else, not them at all! Jane must have opened the window before stepping out and from the feminine heat in the room which definitely wasn't mine alone, it must had been for a very short time as I stared at the darkness outside as th
OLIVIA'S POV AS WE SAT IN silence I could Guess what her mind would be thinking at that moment. It would most definitely be centered on two thriving questions. On if his were premonitions? Or perhaps dreams? There was no way I could blame her for feeling this way, I had too on my first trip. Even now at this very minute, I was feeling that anxiety — That fear. I tried differentiating between the state I was in, as I closed my eyes, as we closed our eyes. Time skipped with my heart beats nas though I was about to have a dream. As the Candlelight flickered, as the room filled Silence. I stared around the room taking in every bit of the aura and energy that was being emitted. The scent of herbs and sweats, the aura of anticipation all feeling the room in a whole spec of expectations. I made humming sounds as we listened to the sound of that evening. It was the sound of the after rain with the croaking of t
NATHANIEL'S POV I FLICKED A Glance toward where she had been sitting, the room was silent at the after Mather I the bomb like news I just dropped, as much as I tried convincing her it was for the safety of Neil she was adamant in not leaving. Alexis rubbed a hand across his smile, we had made the decision together and he warned me about this revolt. "I thought you would be happy about this bit of news?" I said while looking at her. “You thought wrong,” she said dryly. I sank a little further into the softest sofa I could find resting my bruised bones and knuckles. Alexis gave me there I told you face, he had obviously informed me that this was going to happen and i had ignored every bit of his warning. The fact that she had always been supportive of whatever I did had been the main reason why I had decided to tell her without premeditating. I had forgotten the effect the words would have on her be
OLIVIA'S POVNIGHTMARES- Those far-off melancholic dreams one have filled with darkness and so many other sinister things one couldn't dare mention.It had been recurring off late, these same dreams and far-off vision like flickering of the mind.I had tried understanding this particular one but clearly couldn't and to make things worse Nate was having it as well, I had awaken a fortnight again to see the aura of his dream how darkish it looked, but had since shoved it out if my mind when he had said nothing the next day.Thus, this type of dream was one I would rather share with Jane not because of any other thing but rather because of the fact that he she was in a way versed about this sort of thing. I would have said I couldn't have discussed it with Nate when it was all centered on him.I had always been one drawn to the the very aura of intellect, and there was no more appealing an intellectual than talking with Jane, she might not be the smartest with other things but the one
OLIVIA'S POV. ALL THROUGH The next hours that trickled by all I thought about was how I was going deal with the situation and discuss it with Jane, the men were away again as usual leaving bus all to ourselves and with the way he had written it down in the letter and with what Jane had said it was obvious they were coming back soon enough leaving us with no time. I had to talk to her so badly, glancing at the giant wall clock in the living room I could see hours of our lives trickling away and I was still yet to say a word to her. Looking past the bay window I was lost in more thought, sinking deeper and deeper till all that surrounded my mind was pure darkness. My fingers touched the cup of coffee I had been drinking, circling the tip lazily as my gaze found Jane still watching me like she could read everything that was in my mind. She couldn't. I knew that for sure that there was no way she could make a possible guess of what
OLIVIA'S POV I STARED at the dying sun through the dark shades I was wearing, watching as it got weaker and weaker in its bid to give way to the evening. The feeling on my skin was mild, and I allowed myself to enjoy every minute of it for that time being. I knew what the darkness was bringing, it was certainly coming with those nightmares that had become something of a frequent, something I had to be used to. Nathaniel and Alexis had since been back and were back home with Neil who he had opted to take home with him or rather it was the latter who was adamant on going back with his father after they had come by the beach side. Slowly, the two were forming a father and son bond I didn't by any way want to come between, even if I was being left out of it most times. I stared at the watch in my hands, Jane had since left to take a dip in the beach as usual but was yet to be back getting me worried, telling myself not to be paranoid whi
NATHANIEL POV.It was written in the stars that all of this would happen, meeting Olivia falling in love, running …but at times in life, there is always a twist .That twist—that moment when the unexpected happens and this was just that point in life.When Jane had told us everything, it was shocking to everyone that had listened.I could never have been more proud about this period in time, this time when for once in the race we had an upper hand.Her father was never going to see one coming—Wizard, Warlock or whatever he is—this was beyond what would ever happen.The moon glowed upon us full in all its glory overhead from where we stood. It was the moment we had been waiting for all this while as we trooped out.Two vans drove behind the SUV that was driven by the only one among us that had a sound mind —Alexis.To Her father her was leading me to right where he wanted, but that plan had been turned in my favor and was coming right after him."Take the right turn." Jane leaned in o
OLIVIA'S POVI reopened my eyes again, realizing I was still in this place. What exactly do they want from me? They took my son, now they are doing the same thing to me.I was tied against a chair and I tried hard to fight against the ropes used to tie me tightly. I didn't even have an inch to move my hands from the position it has been tied, the way the rope was tied so tightly.I looked around and realized the room was still the same way, dark with someone sitting at the corner. I gritted my teeth as I saw him sitting there, looking at me with an evil smirk on."So you're finally awake again." He said and I acted like I didn't even see him there. It was obvious he wasn't the one behind this. I can't believe the oh so mighty him was working for someone.It would be believable if I didn't know the kind of man he was. He must have something to gain in return. I heard the creaking sound of the door and I looked at the door.A feminine figure stepped into the room and for once I didn't w
NATHANIEL'S POVThe Good thing about everything was that it touched me in a way that I had never been touched and changed me.It changed my mindset and everything that came with it and left me with this insane mind.I paced around the room, my footsteps hard across the floor. My mind was not in the right frame to think straight. I paced back and forth the parameters of the room, Olivia had always talked about auras and I had taken it as a joke on those few occasions.But not this time…The whole aura was telling me Something was not right, I could feel it.I had taken my wolf on a run twice, pacing the wood in my half animal state but all that had done for me was to increase incessantly the pace at which my heart was going at.How could I deal with all of this?How could I deal with the madness that was roaming through my mind?I had gotten this feeling twice in my entire life: The night my father died and the night we trailed Olivia and Jane.Staring out at the vastness of the univer
OLIVIA'S POVFar away from home, in the gutter and slumps of the underworld I could feel my shoulder retracting back into my body, slowly I gained consciousness again looking round at the now empty room.One would hear my heart beat even from a mile away.I felt a sharp pain from somewhere in my head and as I reached instinctively to where I felt the pain was coming from, I noticed I was restrained.Fuck…I had done everything without thinking venturing into this place that was enough to be called a den of death, it was frustrating for me as well as other things that were roaming through my mind.Naive…that was what I felt like, a part of me wished I had told him before leaving but I knew what he would have said, he most probably would have said something about us waiting and acting later.I didn't have that much patient in me, and in a way it had resulted in this.I tried to get away from the chair but saw that my father or perhaps one of his guards had done a good job with the rope
OLIVIA'S POVI felt like dying at this point, knowing that my son was out there in the hands of a monster.Who knows what they're doing to him? Is he being tortured? What do they want? Why haven't they asked for ransom yet?This is getting scarier than ever and it's so unfortunate that I can't do anything to salvage this matter."Hey, you have to calm yourself down, take it easy on yourself, our son would return safely into our hands" Nathaniel uttered as he placed his hands on my shoulders."You seem so sure about it, heads up first we don't know who took our son, secondly we don't know where he is, thirdly the police we called haven't found him yet? And lastly we don't know what the poor lad is going through in the hands of those monsters...." I stood up, red hot in my anger and I cared less about who I was venting it out on."You have to be calm" Nathaniel was getting me pissed with his solicitous behavior and it was getting on my last nerves."Don't you make mention of that word a
NATHANIEL'S POVI had just spoken to the detectives and came down to only one conclusion: men do feel pain.A very intense pain.Whoever said real men don't feel pain needed to be rechecked cause I could feel every bit of it at this moment.It was a more devastating period for me as a father as much as it was for my mother as the term manhood doesn't signify my inability to feel this much painI never hated in my life but at that moment I felt a kind of hatred for anyone that caused me this much pain.They said hate changed the whole outlook of someone’s, it made them ruthless, it made them bitter, It made them reckless.Hate killed its host but by bit slowly consuming it's soul till nothing was left of the person but in spite of all this I couldn't bring myself to come to terms with not hating the culprit.It could consume my soul for all I know, but I didn't care, I had never let myself hate because I loved to live but when it came down to deciding if I was to lay down my life fo
NATHANIEL'S POVI don't know who it was that took Neil but he must have had something to do with someone on the inside, if not, the culprit wouldn't be able to get in.Neil's room was one of the most secured in the whole building and the fact that someone was able to come in and kidnap my son without any of those foolish guards noticing?They should all rot in the pit of torture …there was a chance I would give them a chance to speak but definitely not now.The rules were I was going to give them a chance to explain themselves on how this ever happened in front of the council and if found guilty then their mates would never hear from them again."Alpha…" Alexis was about to call out to me but I shut him up with a death glare and he gulped gently before continuing his speech. "The guards on duty are already tied up."I looked back at Olivia who was now sitting with Jane s next to her and consoling her.I wanted to assure her that Neil was fine but she wouldn't believe till she saw
OLIVIA'S POVA cold sweat drifted through me. Disaster loomed in the distance and there was nothing I could have done to avert it and now it was here, settling right here and leaving me with the most complicated feeling.It was an hour counting and despite sweating and feeling the whole heat, we had not still been able to reverse the spell.More blood trickled down the nose of another young boy. Young, lifeless eyes. As he laid in the ground dead.It wasn’t going to happen again…I pulled myself out of the seat where I had been sitting criss-crossed and headed toward the frontof the house, ignoring the itch to go in the opposite direction.I felt the need to get closer to him before I could try the magic one more time, my body buzzed with a cool sensation showing that I had more energy.My bare feet paused at the end of the walkway.I stood there for a while soaking in the pressurewhile my heart beat a mile a minute.Jane walked toward where I was in the middle of the room, When my
OLIVIA'S POVFear.I had always asked myself what my biggest fear in life would be and most of the times, I had gotten no answers to my questions.Maybe it was a way of life trying to redirect my thoughts, or perhaps I was scared of the actual truth.It was all down to fear—Fear to admit the truth that of all things I feared most in this life, making the top of the list was losing a loved one..I could take every single form of pain but definitely not that, there was no way I could deal with it and so at that moment.The moment I had opened the door to my baby room and found it empty I was consumed by a murderous type of fear.One that came nibbling right at my soul leaving nothing behind.A piercing shriek filled the room and I wondered whose was it, I was dumbfounded so I guess the scream was not from me.I stood there unable to move or say a word as it looked to me like it was all a type of dreak and I was right in the middle of it all.The sound of my voice kepr playing back iny h
