Lucien's POVI stood in front of the old run-down temple and I stared at the graves in front of me, it was the grave of Aasimar and his son. I had gone back to get them and I returned them back to their home, the place where they had been peaceful before our matters had pulled them into a typhoon of sorrow and death.I blamed myself for their death even now, if I had been strong enough, If I had been sane enough, if I had been even more cunning than Donovan then none of this would have happened.I looked up into the sky, something I don't do as often anymore; I felt like my father would be disappointed in me for the havoc I had caused and for killing an old friend of his. I was ashamed.“Come back home, Lucien.” I heard a voice say, there was no one near me but I knew that Esme was around. I haven't gone back to the castle since that day, I have been living on my own in the city.I felt like I didn't deserve to be an alpha. I mean, what kind of alpha wasn't strong enough to protect hi
Devon's povI stood by the stream thinking about how the hell I got to where I was now. When had it all gone wrong? I had been an alpha, I had my own pack but now most of them have abandoned me. The only ones by my side were Osric and Ignace.I racked my brain, looking for an answer but I couldn't find one. It had just fallen apart, without my knowledge and now I was a rat hiding in a cave waiting for the storm to pass. I was now even more of a coward than I was before.I knew Lucien would come for me, it might not be today or tomorrow but it will be soon and as much as I hated to admit it, I dreaded that day. I knew better than anyone what a vengeful beast was capable of.I closed my eyes, I should never have dealt with Donovan, I should have relied on myself. If I had then things wouldn't have spiralled so out of control like they had now. I had made a deal with the devil and I bit more than I could chew.I opened my eyes as I sensed the presence of two people around. I knew I looke
Lucien's POVI watched as Devon's head fell to the ground, his eyes were wide with disbelief at first but then he had a smile as his life faded away. His life has been ruined already, it was better to let go.I heard a low rumble and the wind picked up, it was about to rain. I began to set things in order and soon I was done. I had completed the atonement ritual. I stared at the graves,“One down, few more to go.”I turned around to find two werewolves running towards me, they must have tracked us here. I knew who they were, Osric and Ignace, Devon's new left and right-hand man. They had tracked Devon down—it wasn't like we made any effort to hide our trail—but they were too late.When they arrived, I could see the anger and fury in their eyes and I knew that there was a high chance we would fight, but that didn't mean we would definitely fight.“Where is he?” Osric asked,“You know the answer to that.”“You…. How dare you…”I glanced between both of them, they were strong werewolves
Avery's povI looked at the sky, it was sunny today and then there were no clouds. I smiled, I could feel myself resonating with the environment, and I was at peace. Ever since that day, I have been relatively calm and I wasn't haunted by those memories.I hadn't stopped seeing them, but I wasn't as opposed to them as I was. I found that I could actually relate to them a little. And now, I use them as a way to encourage myself, as a source of motivation.I wasn't the only one experiencing changes, Isabella was too and I could see it reflected in her. She was finally showing signs of moving on.Now, we spar when we train, just like we used to and we are better in tune with each other's style. I sighed as I reminisced and after a while, I decided it was time to go. I left the balcony and walked out towards the compound.I walked out of my quarters, strolling past the guards and residents of the castle and heading towards my father's quarters. Upon arriving, I found Isabella waiting for
Stella's povI opened my eyes, squinting a bit as the sunlight poured into my eyes. I sat up and looked around, there were vibrant trees around me and the air smelled like summer. The air was warm but the cool breeze that floated amongst the trees was soothing.The trees were massive and expansive, forming a massive canopy and hiding away a good portion of the sky. I found myself smiling, an expression that felt foreign on my face. When was the last time I smiled?I couldn't remember but what I did remember was the reason I didn't, my father. I suddenly seem to remember all that had happened and how I was supposed to be assassinating an innocent girl.The atmosphere under the shade suddenly turned stale and the air smelled of misery. I sighed, I had no choice, I had to do it,... for my father.I looked down to see that I was naked and I sighed, what a way to wake up. I stood up and began to walk around, trying to get used to the changes in my body while also looking for a stream. I fe
Stella's POVThe atmosphere was jolly, well, as jolly as a street full of the darkest of things could be. There were prostitutes, assassins, arms dealers and almost any expert of any kind of job you are looking for.It was like a whole new world here, there were lights everywhere and the streets were filled with sellers of various kinds of things. No matter what you needed you would find it here at Eclipse Street.The most dangerous criminals both in the human world and the supernatural world came here to make a new life for themselves, it was opened to everyone.I took a step forward, walking into the streets and blending amongst the large crowd, although this place was called Eclipse Street, it wasn't a street, it was more of a town.And just like any other town, it had its rulers but down here, the ruling was different from up there. Eclipse Streets was run by three groups of equal powers, a mix of supernatural and humans and they were not to be messed with.One group in particular
Stella's POVCasper's moans filled the room as I rode him. My hands were on his chest and his hands were tied to the bed. His member pushed my innards as I rode hard. For a guy with such a feminine side, Casper had a massive member.I moaned in ecstasy, it had been long since I'd done this, far too long. I rode faster, using Casper as I saw fit. Casper loved to be dominated and that was exactly what I planned to do. I needed his absolute loyalty and this was the way to go about it.Before now, we were already friends but not close enough that he would leave everything for me. Now though, I could see it in his eyes, that fear and infatuation, he was sinking deeper into my clutches.I grabbed his neck and rode harder, choking him as he moaned louder. Our tempo increased and soon we both climaxed. I remained on top of him as he twitched, his eyes occasionally rolling back as he seemed to relieve the moment of climax over and over again.I got off of him and I walked into the bathroom to
Stella's POVThe door to the lift opened and I took in the surroundings as we walked out of it. The room was massive and luxurious and it was filled with Red and gold. There were naked paintings all around and at the centre of it all was a young half-naked man lying on a couch.I knew he was the boss, I had seen him before. Black hair and dark eyes, he had an above-average look and his body was well-toned. No one knows his actual name and he is popularly known as Red.He smiled as he saw us but he didn't get up to welcome us or anything. I smirked inwardly, once I got what I wanted, I'd be taking his life as well.I was about to take a step forward when I felt something sharp penetrate my back. A stinging pain rushed through my nerves and I gritted my teeth. My pupils constricted and I looked behind me to see Casper with an innocent smile on his face, his hand was holding the knife.He let go of the knife and walked past me toward the boss. The boss, Red, smile seemed to become even w
