Nyx's pov A soft sigh escaped my lips as the torn strands of ropes fell from my once bound wrists along with the knife . I brought my hands forward rubbing at my sore wrists, trying to dull the ache caused by the bristles of the ropes. My wrists were red and bruised.What's the next step? Hera asked impatiently, You are free now, we should get out of here.We went over this plan already Hera, I rolled my eyes at her, We wait.But…Trust me! I said stopping her whining, Just trust me okay?Okay, She nodded before going silent and I could tell that she didn't trust my plan fully but it was the only thing I could think off and I knew it was going to work. Time passed, considerable amount of time but yet, what I expected hadn't happened. I was still seated on the chair with my hands behind me like they were still bound and the small knife clutched tightly within my fingers.Everywhere was silent, too silent,contrary to what I had expected. The annoying drippi
Nyx's pov I was filled with exertion as i drowned in pain. The more she grew colder and limp in my arms, the more the pain grew. I expected it, but I didn't know it will be this grave. I yelled out in agony as I let her body drop limp to the ground. I felt like my heart was being pulled out and something from me was being disconnected.It was the pack bond.Helena had explained all these to me. She had said that as the luna, serving as the mother of the pack, once I am mated and sealed to the pack, every death of any pack member, I shall feel. But she never told me that it will be this terrifying but then I remembered that I had taken her life myself making it all worse. I fell to the ground laying by her dead form. Tears rolled down my eyes not because of the excruciating pain but because of the fact that I had just killed someone. I raised my hands to my face, my palms coated in red blood, her blood. It was one thing having someone killed to save yourself but it
Lycus's pov.Memories, That was all I had left. I never knew how important they would be till I had lost my father but then I got used to the loss over time and now I know their importance again. I was shown how useful they were yet again when I had lost my mate, her daughter and now Xerxes.Fear lagged in me wondering who was next, was it Willow? Was it my mother? My thoughts were all over the place as I became vulnerable due to the recent happenings.My heart ached at the loss and betrayal I had suffered. I looked to my side to see my mother still weeping with her head resting on Willow's shoulder who in turn kept consoling her while still sobbing herself.I peered at them for quite some time, something was wrong, something was wrong with Willow.Despite the gloom and sadness permeating the atmosphere, I could still decipher that something was off about Willow. She didn't look the same to me, she looked strange, her countenance was unusual and for some reason I didn't trust her.You
Lycus's pov His scream pierced the quiet forest, making the birds in the near by trees flutter away in fright. It was a blood curling scream, frightening at that, a scream coming from a man who was clearly in pain.He deserved it, the traitor deserved it.I hopped down from my horse as he fell from his to the ground, writhing in agony with gibberish coming from his mouth as he tried to form reasonable words.I reached out and drew my sword out and almost immediately his wound began to heal, damn his hybrid powers! I brought the sword down again but this time he could reach out and hold it in mid air blocking the hit."I know you are mad Lycus." He rasped out in pure pain, "But if you could just hear me out…""Traitor!" I growled kicking him and bringing the sword down on his back, blood splattered all over and the pack troops cheered wanting the head of the wimpy turncoat, "Where is Nyx?!""I know but it's not what you think!" He yelled out. I dropped my sword and grab
Nyx's pov"Don't touch me!" I flinched as I felt his hand trail around my neck, "Don't fucking touch me Titan!" I seethed with respite as he backed up against me."No respect nor regard, I see." He gripped my neck hard tilting my head backwards as he glared daggers at me, "You seem to have forgotten your place Nyx.""My place is the spot where I will stand overlooking your corpse after I have given you a very slow and painful death!" I lashed out on him causing his grip to grow tighter but he would need more than that to break me. I was strong now, no longer the weak wimpy Nyx.I was the silver wolf, powerful and a luna, not just any luna, I was the Queen luna and I wouldn't let an insignificant Alpha who has abused me all my life get under my skin."You have grown some Nerve!" He turned me around and slapped me across the face.I said nothing, I masked my reaction, I didn't even flinch. I just kept my bound hands before me and I stared coldly at him, "Me being impressed that you ki
Nyx's povHelena, My heart thundered beneath my chest, it's rhythm erratic as adrenaline rushed through me due to the alarming yet shocking situation before me, my hands quaked and so did my whole being as I stared at her. I didn't know if to attempt to flee or to ask the questions that were at the tip of my tongue or to attack her as she was clearly a part of my life being miserable if not whole.I was lost, not knowing what to do or how to react. What do you do when your mate's mother whom you referred to as the mother you never had, whom you cared for and she cared for you in return which was obviously a farce now, who trained you and built your confidence, what do you do when your sole anchor is suddenly the villain in your story?"Step away." She ordered Willow and Titan and almost immediately they bowed and did as she bid, stepping away from me leaving me alone with her under her scrutinizing icy glare.The music had an increased tempo now making the scenery more dramatic as I t
Nyx's pov"Apples!" She yelled stepping away from me and in an instant I heard the rough padding of feet and a young man came in bearing the basket of Apples, he handed one of the fruits to her before turning around with the basket and taking it up to where her throne was.The music from the piano flowed across the room in a sad tone filled with melancholy and I could say very well that it expressed my grief, whimpers from my daughter could be heard and she poked her face through the iron bars of the cage, she held onto the bars and peered at me as if silently pleading for help, her eyes just like mine glistened with tears and salty liquid ran down her cheeks which were reddened from sobbing.The sound of Helena munching on the poor fruit could be heard above the music, it irritated me, I wanted to scream at her to throw the damn Apple away and start talking but she was so engrossed in the red juicy fruit like she just discovered them and they were her new obsession."How do you feel
Lycus's pov. I had borne a lot of things, a lot of emotions, a lot of trails and above all, a lot of betrayals but this was different. This was too real, the evidence glaring but at the corner of my mind I solely wished that it was all false. That Fay had made a mistake when racking through Andros's head, that Andros had made a mistake and laid false accusations so I could drive a sword directly through him. I wished with all my might hoping that they were not telling me the truth.I chose not to believe Lycus, she would never do that, Spyro said as my quaking hands grabbed onto the reins of the horse and gearing it to go faster. I could see Andros at the fore front leading us to where he knew the Vampires had taken Amara and I could smell that the vampires had been present on these paths, I was glad that I had followed Andros's lead for once but the rest of the story was hard to believe. Not hard to believe but hard for me to believe as I wanted to keep deceiving m
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
