Kayla, drake and Enzo, they all were pacing around the room anxiously, Ethan wasn’t showing any sign of waking up soon.“It has been three hours and he’s still not up yet!”. Drake voiced out, frustratedly.“Who knows what is happening in the forbidden forest now? Can’t you just wave your hands like you alway do and wake him up?”. Drake asked anxiously.“It’s not yet time!”. “Will it be time when Lucian dies there?”. Drake yelled.“I said it’s not time yet. He has to face his past, that's the only way he can get out alive. Even if Ethan wakes up now, and Lucain hasn’t yet gotten over his parents death. He will still get trapped!. This is the reason why I hate werewolves, y’all are just so dumb. I’m warning you again Drake, I’m only tolerating you because of Lucian. Do not get on my bad side”. Vanessa yelled for the first time, her eyes changing to white.Drake took a step back, shocked by Vanessa's sudden outburst.“Vanessa, please calm down. Anger won’t solve this. Drake is a beta, a
“Anna….”“Enough James, please. Just because he is not your blood doesn’t mean he is not mine nor does that give you the right to call my son a danger. If it wasn’t because of you I would have never been raped that night!”. My mother yelled, tears flowing in her eyes.S-she was raped???. I thought to myself, walking around them, as they continued arguing.I was a product of rape? As I stood there, feeling lost and confused, I couldn't help but wonder about the man who had caused all of this. Who was he? Did he ever face justice for what he did to my mother? And most importantly, did he know about me?.Even if he’s my father, I will murder him with my own fucking hands.“Anna, listen….”. My father tries to reason with her“No!”. My mother yelled back, not giving him a chance to talk..“Anna!”. “I am not doing as you say, I am not, he is my son!”. She kept yelling.What does he want her to do?. “Don’t you dare try to calm me down! You have no right to tell me what to do with our son!”
Vanessa paced around the room anxiously, checking the big clock on the wall every time.It has been seven hours still no sign of Lucian or Sophia, nor did Ethan show any sign of waking up soon.“Why is it taking so long?”. She whispered anxiously, rubbing her palm together as she bit her lips.She stared at the others, not wanting to scare them, any further. They were still pounding over her question.(Exactly my point. We all know alpha Edward isn’t Lucian’s biological father. So how is it even possible for Lucian to be an alpha, or a lycan when his parents aren't even one?”. Vanessa asked, looking from Kayla to drake.)None of them has ever thought about it, they thought it was just the moon goddess doing her thing.Drake scratched his head, deep in thought. "Maybe there's something we don't know about Lucian's lineage. Maybe there's a distant ancestor who was a lycan or an alpha in his father’s lineage."Kayla nodded in agreement. "Or maybe there's some kind of genetic mutation th
“Careful Lucian, you do not want to add to your problem right now!”. She whispered.I hated how calm she talks.“What else is there? What more can you do?!”. I yelled.She moved towards me in a flash, her face two inches away from mine.“I can do so much more, let's take Ava for example!”. I felt a chill run down my spine at the mention of Ava. My heart raced as I tried to keep my composure.“What do you mean? What have you done to her?” I demanded, my voice shaking with fear and anger.She smirked, her eyes glinting with malice. “Oh, nothing yet. But I could, if you don’t cooperate. You wouldn’t want anything to happen to your precious little mate, would you?”.I clenched my fists, feeling a surge of protectiveness for Ava. “You leave her out of this. This is between you and me.”She chuckled darkly. “Oh, but it doesn’t have to be. Afterall I’m a goddess and I can do as I please, same goes to you too!”. She signed tiredly.“We have no powers or control over you or what you choose to
“I don’t know. If the illusion is about his past or something really painful, he might not get out on time. And there is nothing we can do to help him!”.Drake paced back and forth, his mind racing with worry. "We have to find a way to break the illusion. There has to be something we can do."Vanessa nodded, her mind also working through possible solutions. "We need to figure out what triggered the illusion in the first place. Maybe if we can understand that, we can find a way to disrupt it from here."Kayla, feeling helpless, wrung her hands. "But how do we even begin to figure that out? We don't even know what he's seeing in there."“I can help!”. Someone said from behind.“Alpha Edward??”. They murmured in surprise.“Not to be rude but alpha Edward, how will you be of help to Lucian?”. Drake asked.Alpha Edward sign, looking at each of them.“Because I am a lycan and Lucian is my son!”. The room was silent for a moment, as everyone took in Alpha Edward's words. It was clear that n
“Wait, Kayla,” Alpha Edward said, his voice pleading. “I know I’ve made mistakes, but please don’t leave the pack. You are important to me, and to the pack. We need you.”“I don’t care,” Kayla said, her voice cold. “I can’t stay in a pack where the alpha is willing to do such a thing to his own son, and his mate. I’m done.”Drake looked at Alpha Edward, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment. Vanessa just stood there speechless. “Kayla, we need his help!”. She said, moving over to Kayla's side.“Only he can get Lucian’s out!”.She hugged her, as Kayla wept on her shoulder.“I grew up with him, Vanessa. I have seen him cry every night, blaming himself for his parents death. He had torture his mate’s parent for a crime they didn’t commit. Lucian had never for once been at peace”. She cried.“From the moment his parents died, when Ava left him and when she found out about her parents. There was never any amount of happiness in his life. Why? All he did was come into this life!”.
Vanessa moved around anxiously, taking one thing after the other.“What are you doing?”. Enzo asked, following her around.“I’m trying to make a protection portion for alpha Edward. He’s likely to get trapped in the illusion, because of what he did”. She explained.“Why? Since he knows what he did and ready to face the consequences, he should not be needing a protection portion”. Enzo said bitterly, staring at his father with hatred in his eyes.Vanessa turned around to face him, her eyes full of sadness. “I know that what Alpha Edward did was terrible, and I understand why you are angry with him. But he is still Lucian’s father, and I want to make sure that he is safe.”“You’re too forgiving. He doesn’t deserve your forgiveness.” Enzo said, his voice cold.“Maybe not, but I’m not doing this for him. I’m doing this for Lucian. And he is still your father, Enzo”. Vanessa replied, trying to reason with him.“Adoptive father, he is not my father! And why would you help someone like him?”
“Never meant to hurt me? You took everything from me, Alpha Edward. My family, my home, the one who I called my father. My whole life was turned upside down because of you. And you’re standing there telling me that you never meant to hurt me? That’s a joke, right?” I said, my voice filled with anger and hurt. “If I wasn’t your son, you would have never adopted me right?”. I asked, moving close to him.Alpha Edward looked down, his expression pained. “I knew it”. I let out a chuckle.“You’re so selfish alpha…...”.“You’re wrong, Lucian,” Alpha Edward said, his voice firm. “I’m not selfish. I made a mistake, and I’m trying to fix it. I know I can’t take back what I did, but I want to make things right. I want to make things better, for you and for me. I’m sorry for the pain I caused you, and I’m sorry for everything that’s happened. Please give me a chance to make it up to you.”"I am aware that I have wronged you, your mother, and James...""My father. That is how you will refer to h
