I had planned to stay indoors, it was my normal routine every year, but this year was different because I had someone special with me.On my birthdays, I only stay indoors, and most times Louis and Kayla stay with me so I wouldn't feel alone, but we never did any celebration, not after what had happened when I was sixteen.I had killed someone on my birthday and I was left with that trauma. My birthdays keep reminding me of that same day. Vincent was driving the car with his left hand on the wheel, and his right hand was entwined with mine.I was wondering where we were heading as I stared ahead at the road."We are going to have breakfast," he replied my thoughts.The car pulled up in front of the pack house, and I wondered why we were having breakfast at the pack house instead of the castle.Vincent alighted from the car and opened the door to help me step out of the car.He held my hand as he led me away from the car and I noticed we were not headed to the park house but we were g
I opened my eyes and noticed I was in Vincent's arms and he was walking towards a car, it seemed we had arrived at where Vincent was taking me."You are awake" I hummed softly in response as I snuggled into him.He took me into the car and I was surprised to see Falcon, it seems he had followed us also"Where are we?" I asked as the engines revved."We are almost there" that was his reply which didn't answer my question, and it seems he would not tell me, until we get thereI looked through the window as we passed different houses. I tried to figure out where Vincent was taking me because I could not tell what he was thinking.' it's a surprise ' I heard his voice in my head, I was startled and turned to me"How did you do that""You can also hear my thoughts, " he replied, which made me confused." Really "' yes' I heard his voice in my head again"But why can't I hear your thoughts every time""It's because I blocked it, that's why you can't""Does it also mean that I can stop you
RILEYAfter dinner mum had to show Vincent my childhood pictures and I was so embarrassed, I was not expecting her to do that and Vincent kept on talking about how cute I looked.Well, he was exaggerating because my childhood pictures were really not good.There was one time I had refused to enter the pool and I was pushed into it, and when I came out drenched and in tears my dad decided that it was the perfect time to take a picture. I looked really horrible, but Vincent considered it cute. We were going to spend the night here because it was really late and we would not be able to fly the plane right now due to the weather.My mum had cleaned the guest room for Vincent, but he had insisted on staying with me in my room. My dad wasn't really supportive of the idea but my mum had to persuade my dad telling him I wasn't a kid.My room was not as huge as the room that Vincent and I shared in the castle; neither was my bed."Don't you think you would be comfortable if you stayed in the g
How was it possible that the Grydens were back? I thought the last seal had not been found and until it was found, that was the only way they could break the seal.Meeting them in Vincent's past, they were so scary and I could not imagine confronting them in reality.If they were back, I wondered how we would be able to defeat them. Last time Scarlet had only sealed them and she isn't around to do the same.We had landed in Toronto and we were on the way to the pack house.Vincent kept receiving calls and was always in a daze, he was really stressed, and I felt bad knowing I could not do anything about it.We got to the pack house, and Vincent went straight to the study.We entered the study, and met Cyrus, Bronte, Tanya, Derrick Vincent's delta, and even Jason and Ariella were there. I did not expect to see Kayla here. Everyone shifted their gazes to us, they all had worried looks on their faces. "What's the status?" Vincent asked entering the room."The other Alphas have been call
I knew Vincent could hear my troubled thoughts, but he just ignore them.He left me with Cyrus and Kayla who was still in the pack house.I stared at the door as it closed behind Vincent who left the room.I could feel his distress and anger through the mate bond and it was affecting my mood as well, although I wanted to ask him about what the Grydens had said, but I was still worried about him.I felt a touch on my shoulder and turned to see Kayla who gave me a smile.“It’s going to be fine” I nodded at her She lead me to a couch which was near the window“What happened when you went there,” Cyrus asked. He was sitting on the bed, his face was pale and I hoped he would be fine.“Is Vincent also a Gryden?” I asked him, I was sure he would, he was Vincent’s best friend after all.“Are you worried that he is”“Not really, it’s just that, after we left the pack house border, Vincent seemed to be in a really bad mood, and he also left me here without saying a thing to me” I explained to
I stood rooted to the spot, the room became tense, and I could feel Vincent’s rage as he looked at Rose who dropped the knife in shock, she was also surprised as to what had happened.She stepped back staring at her hand realizing what she had done.In a swift movement, Vincent was already in front of her, his hand around her neck.Knowing something wasn't right, I tried to stop Vincent from hurting Rose.“Vincent, we need to help Cyrus” I screamed at him, noticing that rage has clouded his judgment.Vincent reduced the pressure on her neck before throwing her to the side.He went to Cyrus and knelt beside him.“Vincent ” Cyrus called out, his voice was not really audible, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.He groaned, he was in so much pain, and I felt useless standing there without doing anything, my powers weren’t even helpful. Though I knew he was going to die, I could not help. This was worse than any of my nightmares.“I don’t think I have much time” Cyrus coughed.
I woke up in a soft and comedy bed, my eyes open slowly, and I adjusted them to the brightness of the room.I yawned lazily, as I sat on the bed stretching. I looked around the room which seemed a little strange.Everything in the room looked really ancient, it was different from the room I once knew.The door opened and Vincent came inside smiling “you are awake” he entered the room holding a cup of hot coffee.“Cyrus said you are really strained,” he said and I remembered everything that happened, how Cyrus died and how I had passed out while trying to bring him back to life.“How is Cyrus, is he alive”“What are you talking about Scarlet,” he asked as he handed the cup of coffee to me.I took the cup of coffee from him “Cyrus died yesterday, he was stabbed. Tanya and I tried to revive him with the blood moon flower.Vincent laughed lightly “are you seeing visions now” he touched my head “Cyrus didn’t die and he is too powerful to be killed by a stab”“It was because he was weak, h
“I need to show you something,” she replied, stretching out her hand to me.I took her hand, and immediately we were in a room.We weren’t the only people in the room, Scarlet was also there, and was speaking to Selene. It seems we were in the past, I wondered what she wanted to show me.“I don’t want him to wake up and spend the rest of his life in grief” I heard Scarlet say, they were tears in her eyes.Selene from the past was reluctant to grant her what she had requested.“Please, you need to help,” she pleaded.“Are you certain this is what you want?” she asked her, she wanted her to rethink about her decision on whatever they were talking about.“Yes, I have made my decision”Everything immediately faded away making me confused“ what just happened”“Don’t you remember?” she asked“Remember what” I was confused.“Scarlet used a spell that took her life in exchange for Vincent. But before that, she didn’t want Vincent to leave an eternity with a mate, so she had requested for me
They say soulmates were destined to be with you, and even after being reborn I still had my soulmate and although we faced many obstacles, betrayal, war, and death, we were still together and also in our next life.Vincent rubbed my protruding belly as I lay on the bed.“What do you think we should name them?” Vincent asked. We had found out that we were going to be having twins, a boy, and a girl.“Cyrus wanted us to name them Cyril and Cyrus”“There is no way in hell would I be naming my kids after him”“I think is a nice name though”“Cyrus” Vincent and I chorused at the same time, seeing that Cyrus had just appeared in the room.Vincent threw a pillow at him and he was quick to evade it.“Get out Cyrus” “I am excited, I am becoming an uncle soon”Vincent threw the lamp at Cyrus which he barely missed.“You don’t need to keep chasing me out, I will leave, but when Cyril and Cyrus come, I will tell them how bad you treat their uncle”“Cyrus” “Okay, I am leaving, but first I need t
What Dartron said had left everyone in shock, no one was expecting the Grydens to attack us now, it seems their aim was a surprise attack.We were currently in Vincent’s study, and his mood seems to have changed hearing what Dartron had said.We were seated at a round table with everyone present, and I was sitting on Vincent.Vincent had been holding me since he saw Dartron, and he seems more possessive since I woke up“Why are you helping us,” Vincent asked, he was still suspicious about Dartron and I think everyone felt the same.Their eyes were all Dartron, watching his every movement.“I just want this war to end, Although our grandfather did some barbaric things, I hate to admit that he was a better ruler than Thanos,” Dartron said leaning back on his chair. “Thanos had always wanted to get rid of our grandfather, but you already did, and now his goal is to eradicate all werewolves, and I am not in support of it”Hearing that Thanos wants to eradicate the wolves, everyone turned
RILEYI felt like I had been pricked with several needles. I felt a cold towel on my forehead, which surprisingly made me feel warm.I opened my eyes, squinting to get used to the light in the room.I groaned as I felt the towel being lifted from my head, turning my head to see who had removed it, my heart suddenly felt warm seeing Vincent who immediately smiled.“You are awake”I nodded trying to sit up and he helped me, raising the pillow to the headboard.“How are you feeling,” he asked as his hands held mine.“Like I have been through hell”“I was really worried” he brought my hands to his lips.“What happened,” I asked touching my throbbing head.“Don’t you remember, you set the….” He suddenly stopped. “You should not be thinking about that now, everything is okay, he reassured me”Then it suddenly hit me, everything that happened before I passed out started coming to me.I was so enraged seeing that Louis died that I burnt the forest with everyone in it.Tears suddenly filled my
The fight lasted for hours, he was good but I did not want to end his life immediately, I wanted to make him suffer before death.He looked like he was going to pass out any minute from now, but given how proud he is he kept on attacking me.He ran to me and in a flash clawed at my chest, tearing through my shirt. I was able to miss his attack, and his claw had a little contact with my skin.He smirked knowing he got it, he was about to strike me again, but I held his hand.Feeling annoyed, I twisted his hand, breaking his bones and disconnecting his hand from his shoulder.He screamed as he stepped away from me, clutching his bleeding shoulder.“You want to kill your old man” “Ending your life is enough sympathy from me”I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest, but it wasn’t mine, it was ……The door suddenly flew open“Alpha” I turned to the door to see one of the pack warriors, he had a frightened look on his face, which only made my assumption right that something was wrong.“It’
VINCENTAfter returning from our search for the last seal, Cyrus and I discovered that the last seal, the seal of Mene, was with the last descendant of the Isdreal, who was surprisingly Kayla.We never had expected that she was from Isdreal, nor did we know that she was with the seal, and I don't think she knew either.We headed to Cyrus’ house, and I was surprised to see Max sprawled on the couch. He was supposed to be with Riley.I approached him wondering where Riley was, but I stopped, noticing the empty cup on the table.Cyrus picked up the cup and sniffed it.“He was drugged”I took the cup from him and he was right Max was drugged, but he drugged him.As if on cue, Kayla came into the room.She had a shocked look on her face, noticing the cup in my hands, her eyes widened and I could sense her fear.“I can explain” she immediately said“Where is Riley” I growled at herShe stepped back in fear, intimidated.I walked towards her, but Cyrus came between us and placed his hand on m
RILEYWhile in the underworld cell, I was scared that I would not be able to save him because all my nightmares always become a reality.I ran out of the room after Tanya finally realized why I was in a hurry to leave. I could hear her footsteps behind me, it was obvious that she was following me.We came out of the pack house and noticed that they were carrying some injured pack warriors into the pack house.It seems the fight was happening in the woods, the ferocious howls and growls could be heard clearly, my heart raced as I ran towards the woods to where the pack warriors were trying to hold off the Grydens.I felt a tear slip from my eyes as I realized it was all my fault, if I had not captured their king, we would not be attacked by the Grydens. I could hear Tanya call after me but I did not want to stop, finding Louis was my top priority and I prayed silently that he was still safe.“Louis” I screamed his name as I reduced my pace.I heard a growl from behind me, I turned imme
TANYAAfter checking everyone at the pack house, and making sure no one was controlled by Morpheus, I decided to begin with Riley’s plan.Going to an empty room, I made a circle on the floor, it was like a barrier that prevents anyone that is in from getting out.This circle was linked with the first teleportation stone I had given Riley. If she succeeds in giving the stone to the Gryden king, he will teleport here when I start the spell.I hoped she would be able to make it work.I had just finished creating the barrier when I heard a knock on the door.Riley had told me to keep this a secret, and I did not want anyone entering the room and figuring out what I was up to.walking towards the door, I opened it before stepping out.I saw one of the pack warriors standing in front of the door.“The delta wants to see you” I could hear the urgency in his tone.Making sure the room was closed, I followed him to meet the delta.He led me to the underground prison in the pack house, and I won
I walked out of the room and met the two guards who I saw before I had entered the room.“The king says he does not want to be disturbed,” I told them and they gave me a strange look.I know they don't believe me, so I showed them the small rod he had given me.“Can you please show me the direction to leave this place, as you can see, he permitted it” They looked at each other, before turning back to me and giving me directions on how to leave.“Thank you” I smiled at them before walking off.I just need to leave here, before they find out that their king was missing, and I also needed to avoid Vincent’s brothers, I don't need them questioning me.As I walked through the hallways, I passed some Grydens who ignored me after seeing the rod in my hand.Feeling relieved that I would not be caught because I was holding the rod, I hurriedly looked for the exit of this place.I was about to pass a door, but I stopped.I was tempted to see what was behind the door, but opening the door meant
Few Hours Before Riley’s CaptureAfter spending the night with Vincent, I did not want to be away from him, and the only thing that was a threat to our relationship was the Grydens, I know they won’t stop at anything to get to Vincent, so I came up with a plan, a plan that Vincent would not approve off, and I had to do it without him.After having breakfast with Vincent, he told me that he would be holding a meeting with Tanya, Cyrus, Derek, and Bronte.My plan required a witch or wizard to help me, I would have told Cyrus, but considering his close bond with Vincent he may mistakenly reveal my plan to Vincent, and I won’t want that.I decided to tell Tanya and I hope she helps me without having to tell Vincent.As soon as Tanya got to the castle, I pulled her into an empty room.“ I need your help with something ” “Just tell me what it is and I promise to help you, hearing you ask me for help just brings back old memories”I smiled “yes it does”“So what do you need my help with”“I
