MARCUS P.O.VAs soon as I ended my conversation with Alicia my phone began to ring. I looked to see who was calling and popped up one of the screens was the name Eddie Lindsey.It was just like she had told me. Her father must be obsessed with the investigation and if he spots even a little flaw it will call for deep suspicion.I heaved a sharp sigh and hoping for the worst I answered the call."Hello," I heard his bass voice through the phone."Hello sir," I answered."Marcus, are you chanced because I would like us to meet up," He said."Yes I am, what is the venue?" I asked."Noble's restaurant and come alone," He said then ended the call.I smelled danger beneath his obscure tone. I knew that this was not going to go well but dishonouring his invitation was an easier way to fall into his list of his most suspected subjects.Without hesitation I went into the bathroom as I freshened up. I dressed like any normal young man, with blue jeans and red striped shirt and putting on my sho
MARCUS P.O.VI moved my cell phone away from my ears as soon as she ended the call. I knew what I planned to do but it turns out that it will require help from someone I never wanted to put in danger but as far as I could tell, he was the best person for the job.I took up my cell phone as I dialled Ronald’s phone number. The phone rang for a while then he answered the call.“Hello, who is this?” he asked.“Settle down, it’s Marcus and I called because I need your help,” I answered.“Marcus… wow! How have you been?” he asked in a surprised tone.“I am okay for the time being,” I answered.“Okay, you sound like you are in trouble. What do you need my help for?” he asked.“California just figured about the existence of our kind and the father of my mate just realized that his daughter was destined to mate a werewolf and I will need you as a distraction until I and Alicia are finally united,” I answered.“What! Slow down. If I heard you right, you intend to use me as bait,”“Not exactly
MARCUS P.O.VAfter I had made my point we forged ahead to the crossroad and there we took a cab. Throughout our ride we didn’t say a word to each other until we arrived at a skyscraper. When we came out of the car I looked at Ronald whose eyes were fixed on the building with great admiration.“You never cease to amaze me Marcus, this is your first time being in California and you are already familiar with such a beauty,” he said, drifting his gaze to me. “Why choose this place? I thought we will be having our conversation in a restaurant or a bar but this looks nothing like such,”“This isn’t the time to have good meals, my life is at stake and I think you should do more listening than speaking, now follow me,” I said as I walked in through the entrance.“You know that you don’t have to act mean. Everyone is always fascinated each time they step into a new environment,” Ronald said.“I am still the only son of your Alpha, at least that is until my father finally hands the position to
MARCUS P.O.VI explained the plan to Ronald, it was a frightening burden to bear but it was just like he said; that is what friends do. The first step was to tell Alicia about the plan and next was to know how to go about it.I took a taxi with Ronald and while we were on our way to a coffee shop I phoned Alicia and told her to meet us there as soon as possible.A few minutes later me and Ronald arrived at the coffee shop as we walked in."Good day," I said to the waiter as soon as I arrived at the counter."Good day sir," She responded. "How can I help you?""I need three cups of coffee please," I said."Okay," She replied, then moved away from the counter. I looked back at Ronald as he walked In making his way towards me. "Did you find anyone?""No, we are safe," he answered in a whisper."Here is your coffee sir," The waiter interrupted and I sprint my gaze to her."Okay, thanks," I reached my hand to the tray."Isn't there supposed to be four coffee's?" The waiter said as I paused
ALICIA'S P.O.VThe plan has just started. I know Marcus, once he said something he was going to do it without failing. Saturday morning was always a big day for me and today was not an exception. The weather was moist as usual, and I was still in bed with my blanket over my body. I didn't feel like going out due to the cold weather but what choice do I have seeing that we had an already arranged plan.Knock! knock!I heard a knock on my bedroom door as I swung the blanket away from my body and gently sitting upright the door opened and Eddie walked in."Good morning sunshine," He said."Morning dad but we know it's about to rain," I answered sarcastically as I heaved a sigh. I noticed him flash a smile at me then walked down to meet me by the bed."What's wrong?" I asked."Nothing, why will anything be wrong?" he asked immediately after his response."The look on your face and your reactions seem different," I answered."Oh, about that…" He heaved a sigh as he sat on the bed beside me
EDDIE'S P.O.VThe pills were too hard to swallow at the same time. First my daughter is a Catalyst, next is that there are creatures like Vampires, Werewolves and Witches which roam my town and I have spent these many years not knowing. I had been in the dark pondering on many questions, fighting so hard to uncover a Mystery that was under my nose the entire time.It's too much to take at the same time but today marks the beginning of a new search. I will make sure I find every last one of them and I will eradicate their existence. I roll them up like a scroll. No matter how deep I have to go, they can never have my daughter.I am on my way to meet Lily; the witch who I sent to spy on Alicia and her old friend. I just hope this so-called Kelly, is the Werewolf because if he is not then that will only mean that Marcus is.By 12:00p.m. I pulled over at the entrance into a public field as I came out of my car. I looked forward and i spotted her seated on a swing about thirty feet away fr
MARCUS P.O.VToday is a day to be remembered, it's a day that begins the battle of my identity. It almost seemed like the cloud knew how I felt and I could tell by the darkness which covered the sky.Ever since I left Eddie's House I have always had this strange feeling that something terrible was going to happen. It feels like I played a short part in an important contest and I am left in the dark awaiting the final result to be called.It feels like a game, kill or be killed.I didn't return to the hotel where I lodged, rather I located a large solitary field and I had been seated on a long bench at one end since noon.Why would Eddie request a meeting between us? I thought to myself while I stared at the moist cloud. It was already eight p.m. the place was dark and cold but the cold never bothered me. After all, I am a werewolf. We are always known as the warm ones.Could it be he knows that I had planned Alicia and Ronald's meeting? I questioned myself again but the answers were n
MARCUS P.O.VI was on my bed in my lodge when my alarm began buzzing. I opened my eyes as I turned my gaze to the wall clock."Ten o'clock," I mumbled, as I heaved a sharp sigh then faced the ceiling again. I was supposed to meet Eddie by twelve o'clock today so I had two hours to be prepared for whatever comes after our meeting.I heaved another sharp sigh as I turned my face right to the blue bracelet which Silas had given me last night. It was resting on my bedside cupboard.I haven't decided if I was going to take it along with me yet, because I still can't understand why someone who was trying to kill me would bring a gift to me.I read his mind and all I knew was that whatever reason he handed the bracelet to me must have been for protection. This was the first time I was doubting my perception.I can't trust them. I thought to myself.After a while I got off my bed as I approached my wardrobe. I opened it up and took out a blue jeans trousers and an ash coloured top. I placed i
MARCUS P.O.V"You are already engaged?" Emily said in surprise."Yes, mom, but you have nothing to worry about. We have already fixed a date to come visit you in person," She said."That's great news," I said."What about you, Maxwell? Do you have any charming Princess you would like to tell us about?" Zoey asked."No, I haven't really thought about it lately," he replied."Hold on, are you…" "Don't even complete that statement," Maxwell interrupted Zoey. "I've been occupied with other things and I am sure the right time will come." The place was silent for a while. "I'm sorry, I almost forgot how hard it is when viewing the world from your eyes. It must have been dark," Zoey said."It was, but thanks to my parents who gleamed light on me," Maxwell replied. "We haven't told you yet but finding a partner for Maxwell isn't as easy as it is for you if not he would have found one by now," I said. "For humans they get to choose who they want to be with but for werewolves, there can be o
MARCUS P.O.VIt took us thirty minutes to arrive at the main city and as soon as we arrived at the hotel someone was already waiting for us by the door.“You must be Marcus Dominick,” the man said.“Yes I am,” I replied.“Mr. Lucas, is inside, he has been waiting for you, please come with me,” the man said and I followed him inside. Alicia, Maxwell and Stiles were also with me.We went upstairs as we walked through a fancy door which opened up to a large and furnished room. There was a large round table at the center of the room and an elderly man was seated on one of the chairs.“Mr. Lucas, your guests have arrived,” the man who brought us in announced.Lucas’ eyes lit the moment he saw us. “Oh, please take a seat,” he said with a cheerful smile on his face and we all did. “This must be your beautiful wife Alicia Lindsey.”“Yes, she is,” I replied then furrowed my eyebrows in uncertainty. “How did you know?” I asked.He lifts his eyebrows. “Well, news flies these days, especially giv
ALICIA P.O.VIt hurts so much to think I was wrong but it hurts even more to give up trying. I had always fought to have even if it was a moment with my son but now at the verge of losing everything I realized I had made a terrible mistake.I saw his deadly fangs above me; they were ready to rip off my bones. His claws were more painful than anything I had ever felt. I had lost him to the darkness. All these could have been avoided if not for my greed. If I had sacrificed him earlier, I would have been able to save everyone.I was about to take my last breath when I heard a clash. I opened my eyes and Maxwell was off me. I looked sideways to see Marcus struggling to hold him back from getting to me.‘No,’ I thought to myself as I transformed into a human. I struggled on my feet. If anyone had to die while trying to stop him then it would be me.“Maxwell, stop please,” I yelled but my voice ended in a whisper. While approaching, I watched Maxwell hit Marcus severally until he returned
MARCUS P.O.VFinally it’s time, the dark clouds had covered the sky and it was only thirty minutes before the blood moon rises. We were all in the woods, far deep into the island and as far away as possible from the main city.There were a lot of us. Alicia and I were only standing about ten feet away from Maxwell while Ronald, Wilfred and Flynn were chaining him to the trees. We found the best spot in the forest with the largest trees and we also used multiple large iron chains in hopes that they will be able to hold him until his transformation is complete.I could already see Maxwell’s beastly eyes as he kept glaring at us.“Ronald, hurry up,” I said.“It’s almost ready,” he answered and after a while they both returned to where I was standing.“Max, you have to stay calm, you can do this,” Alicia said.“No, I can’t,” Maxwell replied. “Save me, please… Mom,” he called out.I held her back when she was about to take a step. She looked at me and I wagged my head gently."Dad, why are
MARCUS P.O.VNo one has ever done this before and I won't be doing either if the matters at hand were not delicate. Thus time Aracely won't be the one coming to me, I would be meeting her myself."Aracely!" I called as soon as I arrived at her secret grounds."Marcus," I heard her voice behind and I turned to see her standing just three feet away. "What are you doing, you should not be here." "I need answers, Aracely. Enough of the preamble… tell me what I should expect tomorrow," I said."I have already told you everything you have to know. Tomorrow will crown his fate and the chance he will be good is slim, it might not work so you must be prepared," She replied."No, let me look at it myself," I said."That has never happened since the history of Alpha’s, you cannot use that sacred tool," She said.“It doesn’t matter now. If my son falls into the darkness he will destroy you and burn down this place and there will be nothing left…”“Enough! Marcus,” she interrupted me. “You have a
MARCUS P.O.V“Hi everyone, my name is Maxwell Dominick and I am only doing a reintroduction in case of those of you that might have heard of me but never seen me in person. As we all know today is my birthday and I am entirely grateful to all of you for being here but most especially to my awesome parents Mr and Mrs Dominick. They have always stood by me all through, most especially my mother Alicia Dominick…”I heaved a sigh as I closed my eyes in disappointment at the last sentence he made. I looked at Alicia and I could see the huge smile over her face. I could tell that she was enjoying it. I thought I was Maxwell’s favourite but it ended up being her.“Most especially your mother, huh,” I chuckled, then looked back at the stage.“I am grateful that despite the challenges she was tough enough to face it and determined to hold on to me until the end, even if it could have killed her. When everyone gave up on me she persisted. I love you so much mom and I will love you until the end
MARCUS P.O.VI walked inside the building while holding Alicia’s hand. The hall was filled up with both humans and werewolves as rock music filled the air. There was no strange pack present; I made sure that the sentinels never allowed any werewolf from another tribe to venture into the island.Everything was coordinated just like it should be and I trusted my pack to be great at blending in with the humans without causing any arousal, and that was all thanks to my late parents who taught them well.“Marcus, look who showed up,” Alicia said. I looked only to see that it was Katherine. I saw the excitement over Alicia’s face.“Will she be a burden to you?” I asked.“Are you kidding me,” Alicia said with a frown on her face.“Sorry, I was only joking, go on, go and have fun with your friend, I will keep an eye on things,” I said to her.“Okay, please watch Max but don’t spy on him,” she said.“Yes ma’am, but you know that they both mean the same thing…” I was yet to complete my statemen
ALICIA'S P.O.VSix years passed after we reconciled with Meredith and her son Daniel. Even after these six years Marcus had not retrieved the briefcase from Lucas. However, he Still assumed his position as the Alpha of his father's pack.He wasn't the only ruler of the pack since I was ruling beside him. To me it all seemed like a dream. And when speaking of a dream I am talking about the story of a feeble human who fell in love with a charming beast, a mortal chased and hunted by a pack for years was now ruling as Luna of the same pack that tried to kill her.Now the feeble mortal is known as the most revered Luna since the history of the Dominik's pack. And not just that, but far stronger than any Luna who had ever ruled beside the Alpha.Looking back from where I am I was grateful for everything that I had gone through. All my efforts were worth it and even my son, the one they say will doom the world had the most charms than anyone else.I was not only glad to have him but I am al
ALICIA’S P.O.VThe pain of losing a child was terrible and it wasn’t something a parent would wish for. I couldn’t understand the level of pain the old lady was going through but could only imagine it. Even right now I feel sorry and indebted to her.The dark cloud had already covered the sky when Meredith escorted us out of the house. She wrapped her blanket around her body to protect her from the cold breeze and by the time we arrived at our car she looked down at Maxwell. “Thank you for showing me what you showed me earlier. It felt good to see her face again,” she said to him.“You are welcome ma’am. I know you needed it,” Maxwell replied.Hearing that got me curious but I guessed it was best that I don’t ask. I was okay as long as whatever he showed Meredith made her see things differently.“Guys, I think we have company,” Ronald alarmed us. I looked to see who he was speaking of and from the distance I saw a young man approaching with a bottle of drink in his hand.“Daniel... Ma
