Nyx's pov I stared at the dead flower next to the full bloomed one, completely dazed at what just happened, I reached out my hand tentatively and touched the dead petals only for them to come back to life which baffled me more than the first time it happened."Discovering new powers I see." A voice sounded breaking me off my reverie, it was Andros. I turned to look at him with a smile, "What even is that called?""The resurrection power, I guess." I answered with a chuckle as I got on my feet, "I recently just discovered it." I sighed, "I have water, fire, telekinesis, healing and now this.""Must be cool having those I guess." He said rubbing his hand over his face and my attention was caught."What happened to you?" I asked him as I looked at the purple bruises."Well, your mate happened." He said before quickly adding, "I deserved it. That day you were rescued and in heat." I blushed in embarrassment at his words, "I advanced towards you when my self control snap
Lycus's pov Soft music flowed throughout the castle awakening me from my state of slumber. It was expected. It was how I had woken up every morning on my birthdays, it was how other kings before me had awoken and how the ones after me will be roused. But this time, it was different. This time I had the pleasure of waking up to the most beautiful person I had ever laid my eyes on.My hand was wrapped around her slender waist as I peered down at her, blonde locs framed her delicate facial features, her long lashes casting light shadows beneath her eyes and she looked very peaceful and vulnerable. The longing to draw her closer to me and protect her from any evil roused through me and my hand tightened around her. At least today, most of her worries shall be gone. After my party in the evening, we shall proceed to the hearing of that dolt Titan and the treacherous Laya.And with the influence of my mother and I, they shall be sentenced to death. I would make sure of it. I
Nyx's pov Perturbation travelled through me no matter how hard I tried not to fret. Everything around me seemed too silent, I could here noises distinctively.The clicking of the maid's shoe against the tiled floors as she got my accessories, the un-clipping of the jewelries, the smoothing of the fabric of my dress and her very calm breathing as well as my own labored breathing.I tightened my shut eyes while wringing my fingers which I knew might be all red now from the force exerted on them. I was nervous, anxious and disturbed and it was not the good type, it was the bad type. I could practically feel Hera prancing around in worry as she relayed how she felt which was exactly how I felt.Are you okay love? Lycus's deep voice sounded in my head which instantly washed a feeling of calm over me, I can feel that you are worried, what is the matter?It's nothing, I replied, I just feel nervous for the party that's all.Why do I have a feeling that you do not feel like th
Lycus's pov I'd always thought that I was the hard-hearted unbreakable king. That the fortress I had built around my heart after my fake mate to prevent myself from getting hurt again was strong enough. I never thought myself capable of pitiable emotions more than what Nyx had made me feel ever since she stepped into my life but now, I felt different. I knew better.With Nyx, I had felt everything, the hate knowing whom she was, the acceptance and anger knowing that I couldn't easily get rid of her, the lust when I tried fighting the mate bond, the likeness seeing that there was more than just lust, the pain each time I was on the verge of losing her, the jealousy seeing her with Andros or any other male, the love when I got to know more of my beautiful mate and then the fear knowing that her life was In danger and she could be snatched from me at any moment, it was the fear that kept me from telling her the state of things and letting her know that she was facing hazard.
Lycus's pov I could feel my anger pulsing through my veins, through every part of my body and I feared that I wouldn't be able to hold myself any longer, even when my mother had placed her hand on mine, it did nothing to help. I was battling with myself and trying to restrain spyro from breaking free to claw at the faces of the dolts before me."How the fuck?!" I started off trying my best to stay calm as my fists gripped the sides of the board room table harshly, I could hear the wood creak, "Did it happen?!" I finished off with an angry yell and the warriors standing at the edge of the table flinched and so did the ones seated around it. I had assembled all high rankers and the top warriors for the meeting, they all looked tired but I didn't give a flying fuck.Their luna was missing and so was our child and now the two devils after her life were gone too. When I had secretly asked if today could get any worse, I didn't mean for it to come to reality."We are sorry yo
Nyx's pov. Everywhere was dark, hollow and empty just like how I felt inward, my surroundings being alike to the being situated in them, only the trickling of low running water dropping in a metal bowl invaded the eerie silence, just like my heart beat invaded the emptiness inside of me.I tried using my senses, my eyes closed as trying to see through the black dirt back was useless, I couldn't sense any smell and my ears only picked the irritating sound of dropping water. I moved my bound wrists trying to free them but the ropes tightened more. I tried reaching out to Hera for help but all I got was weak grunts, I couldn't feel her too well and of course I couldn't feel Lycus, it was definitely not my rejection causing it, it would be what I was injected with and the spot on my neck bearing Lycus's mark hurt badly.I felt weak all over, my powers were doused, I couldn't use them and Hera couldn't give me strength so I was basically useless. I tried sitting up, the
Lycus's pov I have had to fight demons all my life to get better but I never knew a day would come when I would have to fight them physically. I groaned as I fisted the sheets, my insides tightened in sheer pain as I struggled against their hold to set myself free, but all was to no avail as usual.Trapped.That was how I felt being held down by what seemed like a thousand clamps. I felt caged inwardly, my emotions, my memories, both good and bad crashing down on me making my head hazy and my heart swoon in a bad way.I tried lifting myself which I knew wouldn't work but either way, I tried. I tried hard but it didn't budge. Seems their hold got stronger. The worse part was that I couldn't see them. I was clamped to the bed by invisible hands unable to move with perspiration running through my entire being. The sweat drops ran down my skin making it clammy, the salty liquid fell to the sheets wetting them and in return, they stuck to my bare skin making it all the mo
Nyx's pov Uncanny quietude pervaded the atmosphere, only the incessant dropping of the water from the tap could be heard, making the scenario more creepy and frightening. The tension was thick, thick enough for a knife to cut through. Cold angry blue orbs clashed gazes with equally angry but yet frightened and betrayed green orbs of mine.I stared straight at her , meeting her unwavering gaze. She stood at the doorway, leaning against it. Her face calm but eyes enflamed with anger, red fiery hair spilled over her shoulders as she leaned her head against the wood work. She still held the knife in her hand, holding it against the wall twisting it. She looked like a psychopath. We stared at each other for sometime and then she erupted into hysterical fits of mocking laughter.Now, she was actually a psychopath."You should see yourself Nyx." She tsked taking in my appearance and stance. I stood with my hands fisted by my side and my face morphed into a joke of trying to d
Amara's pov"Once upon a land under the deity of the moon goddess where men were wolves and wolves were men...""But they still are..." Iris groaned as always, staring at me with her eyes twinkling with mischief. I smirked and brandished my makeshift wooden sword before her making her squeal with pretend fright, "I surrender! I surrender!" She cried out with her arms raised in the air earning a smirk from me."There lived three most powerful wolves in the supernatural world, they were called the potens lupi!" I continued, emphasizing my last words, "Two were born brought to the world at first, their fates tied together, the grey wolf and the red wolf, one born with a heart of gold, the other was the spawn of the devil! A bitch from the pits of hell!" I growled remembering how she had ruined my childhood."Bad words Amara, mummy said no bad words," Eros said looking up from his entwined fingers which he had been twisting, an attitude long developed."Fine." I rolled my eyes and silentl
Nyx's povThe moon shone brightly casting its silver rays on the sea as it's waves crashed. My eyes trailed up to the sky to see the sea gulls fluttering their wings as they flew, their caws filled the sky resonating in the atmosphere. I felt the breeze blow gently against my skin and sweep through my blonde locs as I pushed my toes into the cool sound feeling the grains beneath my feet.Tonight wasn't particularly quiet as there was a bonfire at the beach resort. Everyone had been invited. They said it was an avenue for the guests to socialize even if the sole purpose of them coming here was to get away from everyone and relax in peace.Humans are weird, Hera had said when the Lycus told us about the invitation and they considered it somewhat disrespectful and unkind not to honor it."Don't get too close to the water," I yelled after Amara as she stood from my side and ran towards the banks of the ocean. I knew I had to keep an eye on her knowing I haven't been a good mother but I wa
Lycus's pov"She's all set." The doctor said pulling off her gloves while stepping away from the bed, "The luna is due in a week." She added with a smile and I glanced at Nyx to see her already staring at me with a wide grin which I returned with excitement.I have had the chance to be a father with Amara and now the moon goddess was blessing me with another one and it came with a different level of excitement, the feeling of holding our new born in my hands was something I looked forward to."Is there any thing she needs to stay off till then." I asked the doctor as she packed up her stuff, "I want us to be extra careful.""She just has to stay away from any rigorous activities for now and relax a lot." And with her words I gave Nyx a knowing look hoping she would stick to the doctor's words this time.The coming of this pregnancy unleashed a new level of stubbornness and even Hera was worse, neither Spyro nor I could talk sense into them. They felt the need to be more active and agi
Nyx's pov The cool spring wind swept across the length of my gown as I left the cemetery walking away from my favourite tomb stone, I tried to walk as fast as my swollen legs could carry me with my hands atop my baby bump like it was going to fall if I didn't hold it.I walked through the gates, the cool breeze caressed my skin and scattered some of my blonde locs. I squinted at the glaring sunlight while running my fingers through my hair, my eyes out searching for the person I had come with.He wasn't here and I was infuriated. This pregnancy had come with me getting angry at every thing and any little thing that didn't even warrant a reaction, I couldn't control it. The hormones were acting out and I had no control over them.I had told him to wait here while I went inside cause I wanted to be alone, that didn't mean that he should wander away like he wasn't meant to stay beside me."You are done?" His voice pulled my attention and I looked to see him coming from
Nyx's povWinter had always been my favorite season. I felt calmer and at peace with it every year, there was just something about snow, something about it that brings light to my dark world the way Lycus often said I brought light to his. I do not know about others but it brought me peace and tranquility.And as I lay on the snow with my hands and legs spread out, tears dried up and my heart swelling with contentment, I couldn't find a way to hate this season for any reason. I felt happy knowing that my life would be peaceful from now on, knowing that I had slain the people after me with their blood on the snow because it was what they deserved and I had to do it to bring me peace.The angry growls of the rabid wolves echoed as they devoured the carcass of Helena and her wolf. I could feel the drops of snowflakes falling from the sky against my skin and with each passing moment I felt happier.The skies had begun to clear up a bit and my heart fluttered with excitement. It was all ov
Nyx's povFury! Irritation! Resentment! All three emotions that came with rage were what I felt at the moment.I couldn't control myself, my fist slammed into her face repeatedly as she tried to dislodge my sword that was stuck in her, her cries of agony were soothing to my ear as the force of my hits caused us to slide across the snow and deeper into the forest with her back against the ground and the rocks and thorns tearing into her causing more pain.As she healed, the pain and wounds were inflicted by me all over again faltering the efforts of her self healing which frustrated her and she couldn't hide it. My knuckles were busted and my fingers ached as I continued my assault but the pain I brought to her caused me enough satisfaction to distract me from my injuries and Hera did a good job of healing us immediately we got a wound."You fucking bitch!" She snarled crossing her arms and creating her shield, the force sent me flying backwards and I was thrown against a tree, the bon
Nyx's pov(I am not a native Spanish speaker, I used google so don't come for me please)Lycus! I tried reaching him through the mind link as the groans grew but I got nothing but grunts of pain, not even a word plus our connection was faint which was something to be worried about.Spyro! Hera groaned as another wave of pain hit us, the freezing task at hand was forgotten as I hunched over my knees clutching at my heart with my hands. it felt like a thousand pinchers were being twisted in my heart creating piercing feels. And at that moment a fire bolt came in my direction, I swung to the side to avoid it and it hit the wall melting my work.I turned to Helena with a growl as it had come from her, she was fashioning another hit. I twisted my fingers, and aimed them at her crossed fists freezing them before forming a bigger fire bolt than the one that she had created and I sent it right at her, it hit her sending her flying a few paces away as the force at which I sent it was way too s
Nyx's povI like you a lot, I remembered his words as my fingers skimmed his face, his eyes that once looked at me with adoration and fondness were shut tight, I wish I could protect you, I recall when he had said this, "I wish i could protect you too Andros." Tears streamed down my cheeks as I held his face, "Wake up please." I whispered, "You can't die on me Andros."Will you run away with me when things get worse? And instead of that, he took the blow for me, he didn't run leaving me, he took what was meant to kill me, "Andros please." I gripped the tree by it's trunk with my hands pulling at it with all my might and I was able to wretch it from him much to my surprise.You know I do care about you Nyx, His words echoed in my head as I flung the tree aside, my hands gripped his body as he slid down to the ground, no a word was heard from him, not a sigh and not even the batting of an eyelid, I wouldn't mind if you were mine though, These words of his brought the pain rushing in kno
Nyx's povSacrifices! Swords! Baby! Evil! Moon goddess! Helena! Powers! Fight! Resurrection! Clouds! My mind was a torrid cluster fuck as my eyes snapped open and I tried to lift myself from the ground which got me thinking about where I was and why I was laying in the snow.I groaned widening my eyes to see that I was in the grounds of war and my confusion grew trying to know what the fuck was happening plus the weird dream I had about seeing some moon goddess was bizarre.I felt my fingers gripping something and I looked down to see them grasping at a magnificent sword that looked like it could slay anything in sight. A scream wrenched my attention from the sword and I looked in the direction of where it came from.A devastatingly handsome man was currently fighting with an old woman who looked like him and watching him fight was so attractive and...shit! That's my mate and I got to help! I remembered everything now and I leapt to my feet, grabbed my sword and began to run towards t
