"Where are you taking me to?",Layla asked in a voice hardly louder than a whisper.

"The past",Xavier said and snapped his fingers.

Layla's eyes widened in surprise and before she could react to what Xavier just said, she felt the air sucked from her lungs and Riven's room disappeared. A dark blanket enveloped her and spun her around and Layla felt a feeling of deja Vu. This was how she felt when she unintentionally sent herself to the past, using her mother's book of shadows.

She tried to scream but her entire body had gone limp and immobile. The next thing she knew, she was lying on a grassy lawn on her side, her left cheek resting on a bed of soft hay. The view before her eyes was entirely different. The last thing she remembered was being in Riven's room with Xavier and now here she was, lying on a field overlooking a fast flowing stream.

Moving slowly like she just stepped out of a whirlwind, she pushed herself up and got to her feet. A surprised gasp left her lips when she took i

    Layla felt all the colour drain from her face at Tiffany's words.This couldn't be happening, she thought. The last time she had travelled to the past, she had succeeded in stopping Riven from getting married off to someone else and at the risk of losing her life.Now she was going to be paired with someone else? How was this even possible? Confusion clouded her mind as she tried to figure out what was happening. If Xavier really brought her to the past, then where was he? What era was this? While she racked her brain to think of anything that would explain what was happening, Xavier watched her with a concerned expression. He was worried about her and he understood how she was feeling to an extent. He also didn't fancy the idea of pairing with a random dark angel he barely knew. He wanted to choose a partner because he loved her and not because someone chose her for him. But he had no choice. The shadow warriors had to be paired with the dark angels to strengthen their bond and mak

    Xavier stared at Layla with horrified eyes, wondering why she suddenly shrieked out. He noticed the tears that gathered in her eyes and he thought maybe the story he was telling her was too horrible for her to hear and she wanted to hear no more of it. He had no idea that Layla was in denial because of what he said, and he had no idea that Layla was mated to the Alpha King.Moving slowly towards her, he drew her into his arms and hugged her, pushing her warm body into his and relishing the softness of her breast on his chest. Cursing himself internally for thinking of such things when Layla was distraught, he pulled her closer and tried to console her.Layla absentmindedly allowed him pull her closer to him while her heart slammed within her chest. A thousand thoughts ran through her mind. Did Riven really kill other creatures like that? Was that why Xavier told her he was a murderer?All the times Riven had killed in her presence, it had always been because the person plotted against

    "What's going on here?!",a hard voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.Xavier and Layla whirled around in fright, and at the same time, Xavier promptly shut his mouth.A large heavily muscled man was standing behind them with a fearsome scowl on his face. The two had been so engrossed in their little chitchat that they didn't notice the man had been standing behind them. But for how long? Xavier didn't know how long he was there or if he had overheard their conversation.He gulped nervously and tugged Layla close to him."Elder Bazaar. Greetings to you",he greeted and bowed deeply. Layla's eyes widened when she realized this man was one of the elders of the Village. When Xavier told her about the elders, she had been thinking they were old wrinkled men who leaned on walking sticks for support. She never knew they were thick muscled men who looked menacing. She kept staring at him and quickly averted her eyes when Bazaar's sharp dark eyes landed on her. His hair was longer tha

    Layla walked as if in slow motion towards the altar where the six fearsome looking elders awaited her. Her throat closed up with tension and her chest was tight with fear as a thousand thought ran through her mind.Were they going to kill her now? Did Bazaar hear her little conversation with Xavier? This would be a good time for the older Xavier to bring her back from this past life, or whatever this was. She didn't want to die.As she walked down the aisle, she heard the vicious whispers coming from the other dark angels who glared at her with envy while the shadow warriors hoped one of them would be paired with her. She was right at the centre of all the attention.Before she knew it, she was standing in front of the raised altar with her hand clasped behind her. The altar was enormous and she felt like an ant being scrutinized by the six elders. Gulping nervously, she kept her eyes lowered, trembling and wondering why they just stared at her without a word.Then from somewhere behi

    Elder Bazaar watched as Xavier pulled the strange girl from overseas with him. His dark eyes followed them until they disappeared through the doors and out of sight. He turned away and watched as his Chief, Cullen kept calling out the dark angels to choose a name so they could be paired with a shadow warrior. There was something about that girl, Bianca Delaville. Something he couldn't just put his finger on. She was strange, yes, and not just because she was from overseas. There was something dark about, something that didn't have to do with her being a dark angel.Something mysterious.He would be keeping a close eye on her as long as she remained in the village.Out of the blue, a shadow warrior that hadn't been paired yet appeared beside him. Bazaar turned his head slowly and frowned up at the young warrior. "Return to your seat Jacob, and wait to be paired",he said to him and looked away.The shadow warrior whose name was Jacob looked uneasy and he trembled under the strong inte

    Layla froze up as the words registered in her mind.The Village was under attack by the lycanthropes.It couldn't be, she denied vehemently. It couldn't be Riven. He wouldn't attack a village just because he wanted to end the race of dark angels. She was sorely tempted to run outside and see for herself if it was really Riven. She had to know. But the loud screams and vicious roars coming from the distance was enough to discourage her. Xavier's words echoed in her ears... 'Do not come out no matter what happens'Layla was deathly terrified with the screams that kept resounding in her head. Sobbing softly, she crawled towards a corner of the room and balled up, her hands tight against her ears. She longed for Riven. She longed for Xavier to bring her out of this place he had brought her. She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a loud scream right outside Xavier's home. Her palms clamped down on her mouth to stop the scream that threatened to escape. She closed her eyes tight

    The beast was here!Layla realized it too late, with a sickening feeling in her guts. The time she had used in trying to figure out what occurred, she would have used it to escape the moment she realized that the future had been shown to her. Now it might really be too late and she would be killed again.She shook her head and her eyes opened determinedly. She wouldn't let the beast find her this time. It was obvious that Riven didn't recognize her because this was her past life. She thought back to when he hurt her;she could still feel the pain as his claws sank into her cheek, ripping the flesh out. No! She pushed the thought away from her mind. Riven didn't recognize her, because this wasn't her time. He would never hurt her, no matter what.'what about the other dark angels and shadow warriors? he would kill them brutally'The tiny voice inside her whispered to her and Layla closed her eyes. She didn't have time to think much about the voice because just then, she heard the sound

    "NOOOOOOO!" Xavier screamed as he saw the knife driving deep into Layla's side. He dissolved the shadow weapon in his hand and began to run, wanting to get to his partner and hold her before her body dropped to the ground. Layla's mouth hung open in a silent scream as blood gushed out from her side, soaking her dress.However before Xavier could get to her, he was pulled back and held viciously by thick shadow bands wrapped around his body and legs. He looked up and followed the shadows to three of the elders. They were holding him back? Were the shadow warriors not supposed to protect the dark angels? Why did they all stand back watching Bazaar stab the knife again into Bianca's side? The questions filled his head, expanding until he let out a frustrated roar, struggling against the shadows holding him down."BAZAAR! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!",he yelled to the elder who still held Layla's body with the knife still driven inside her. Tears filled his eyes and slowly crawled down his cheek

She hummed to herself along the way, holding up her dress and skipping lightly."Good morning, my little feathered friends",she smiled warmly as she got to the cage and crouched before it. The chickens squawked in anticipation for their morning meal, and Kalista carefully tipped the basket she held and poured out the grains into the feeder."Don't rush, there's enough for everyone",she

"We still have a few more hours before the baby comes""The contractions are getting unbearable",Riven said over his shoulder but didn't reduce his hurried steps.

    Riven felt suddenly whole. He shut his eyes, forgetting everything else and focusing on the feeling of Layla's soft body close to him. His arms tightened around her, one hand reaching up to caress her hair. The scent of apples and roses, the scent he had grown so used to, flooded his senses and made him dizzy from relief. All of a sudden, everything seemed alright. All the years he had been wallowing in anguish and guilt sudden disappeared. It didn't matter anymore as long as his mate was in his arms."Layla",he whispered in her ear, burying his nose in the crook of her shoulder and breathing in her scent. The unique scent that belonged to only her. "Is it really you?""Yes, Riven",Layla whispered back to him, tears rolling down her cheeks when she answered him. "I came back to you, my love"The feeling was surreal and it still felt like a dream to him.

    Xavier felt his breath bust out of his mouth. It was only then that he realized he had been holding it. Selene, the Moon Goddess was right in front of him?Without another word, he bowed his head to the ground, trembling from awe and immense respect. For the Moon Goddess herself to appear to him was something he couldn't fathom. He wasn't worth it. He wasn't worth to be in her presence.His lips trembled as he bowed his head repeatedly before Selene."Rise, Xavier",Selene continued in a soothing voice, the hint of an amused smile playing around her perfect lips.However, Xavier shook his head and remained on the ground before her."I know you're wondering why I have appeared to you",the Moon Goddess said. "You helped the lycanthropes defeat the war, even when you were part of the reason for the war in the first place"Xavier trembled from shame when he heard the goddess.

The spot where the battle took place in Red River City was scorched and blackened badly and would forever be a reminder to people, both humans and supernatural creatures, of the day the devils almost took over the world.The desert creatures had exchanged polite words with Riven, congratulating each other for their victorious battle. And when the sultan tried to offer his condolences on Layla's death, Riven declined and wished them safely back to their realm.Left with nothing else to say, the sultan nodded respectfully to Riven and he disappeared with his surviving army.

He was trapped within.His eyes widened as realization dawned on him."Layla",he called out to her through the shield. "Riven... it is time",Layla said in a sad tone. Tears slowly spilled down her eyes as she gazed lovingly at her mate. "I want to make this easy for you but I don't know how...""Please, my love. It can't end like this",Riven pleaded in a shaky voice. He didn't know when tears gathered in his eyes and spilled down his cheek. For the first time since he lost his sister, he cried.

    Hades let out a terrifying scream and stumbled backwards. Black smoke seeped out from the cracks on his face as Layla's blood burned him. He swiped at his face, his sharp claws ripping the skin apart as he struggled to wipe the blood away from his face.
