Lucien's POV The moment that sword went through me, I lost every bit of strength I had. I knew the sword was not an ordinary sword. It was laced in wolf's bane. If it were ordinary swords, I would have been able to get back to my feet, but with the wolf's bane, it paralyzed me. I tried to get back on my feet and fight but I knocked to the ground. I tried to fight it and get back up but my body shook with my pain replaying in my mind again. I pushed it aside but still, I could not. No matter how much I tried to fight this, it felt like I was only pulling myself down. I could sense that we were losing. My people needed me. They needed their alpha. I kept telling myself to stand and to join in the fight until my body could no longer take it. Wolf's bane knew how to travel fast and knew how to paralyze every avenue for wolves to heal themselves. It was dangerous for us, as that was our vantage point. Something was not right in this attack. I had so many questions as to how the dark Lo
Aimee's POV A part of me told me I had made a mistake by using my powers to heal him when I was down but another part of me questioned why I would sit and watch my mate die. I could not sit and watch Lucien die.He was my life. Even if I died, he needed to live for his people, for Reine. With me, I doubted we would be able to save them. Lucien was the alpha. He had trained most of his life for this so if I could save him I took that chance.For two days, my entire body felt like I was hit and was under a truck. I could not move nor could I open my eyes. I was conscious but still, I could not do anything. I could still remember what I did last before falling unconscious and wanted to see him. I wanted to be sure that it worked but I could not do that.When I finally opened my eyes, I jumped out of bed and instantly regretted it. I still felt really weak. When I was finally able to move and taken to him, he was still unconscious. I waited for days for him to wake up but he was growing
Lucien's POV I knew she was scared for our well-being. I too was scared as to what might be waiting for us when he got close to the pack. With each step we took, I could feel the dark aura of the dark forces all around the forest.It was thanks to the moon goddess that it did not spread to where we were able to camp. I knew what we were about to do was risky and we could not bring everyone with us so we did not gather much attention from anyone if any attack ensued, it meant we would not be able to protect ourselves very well.We walked a distance before we finally decided to stop. Our present location was at the peak of the aura of the dark forces. The aura was sucking up most of our energy. We had not worked for a while but it felt like we did and that was not good.So this was the plan. This was a way to weaken us so we would not be able to attack and defeat them. The dark Lord knows that he is no match for us. Our wolves were strong and with just a single bite they would die. Th
AIMEE’S POVMy name is Aimee Garcia and for the longest time, I have been all alone, I have no family and I witnessed my parents being murdered when I was just three years old. I moved between foster homes and several families but I never felt like I belonged with any of them. Despite my unfortunate childhood, I centered my life and goals on attending college, trying to get a degree so I could get a good job and build a better life for myself. I pride myself as a smart young woman and I only believe in factual, logical happenings in the world. I believed there would always be an explanation for everything and I never believed that supernatural beings and creatures from other dimensions existed. All these and more made me an average human being and in my 21 years of existence nothing strange happened to me to change my beliefs and that continued to be the case until I met HIM; I still remember it like it happened yesterday.It was a Monday morning and I dashed across the hallway in an
As I locked eyes with the mystery man, the rest of the world seemed to fade away. I forgot where I was and all the steps that had brought me to that exact moment, but somehow I knew like a spiritual being was telling me, I felt it in the depths of my soul that this was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I took in his features, he was a tall man about 6”5, his muscles were very defined in the tailored tuxedo he was wearing, he had a chiseled jawline, and his mouth was set tight like he was trying not to give any sense of emotion away. His hair was pitch black and it was set in a rough style that only the most handsome of men could pull off. The pupils of his eyes were pure black and his stare had a piercing sincerity to it. He looked very dominant and he gave off the aura and charisma of a real man.I looked into his eyes and found it so alluring the way he was staring right back into mine. Neither of us said anything, but I was sure that whatever this sudden rush o
I woke up feeling as confused as ever. I had finally seen what the creature from my dreams looked like, I was very sure that it was a wolf I saw but still, I had no idea what it all meant. I remembered that Reine had left so abruptly the previous day and I couldn’t help but feel a sudden pang of loneliness that my only friend had abandoned me.I did not dwell in the sad feelings and quickly took a shower to freshen up for the day then I headed to college and decided to be productive for the rest of the day but a part of me remained anxious to hear from Reine and have all the strange events explained. As I attended my classes and saw to my tasks for the day, I found myself often distracted by a whirlwind of thoughts, I was still expectant to hear from my friend but I had to admit to myself that it was another thought that was at the forefront of my mind; the image of the man I had met the day before. My brief but intense meeting with Lucien was not like anything I had ever experienced
Isaac and I drove a couple of miles away from the city, I had maintained my curiosity and hadn’t asked him any questions, but as I saw that he continued to drive further and further into the woods and away from civilization, I could not contain it any longer and I had to ask. “Where are we going?” He gave me a comforting grin and said, "I know this must all seem odd to you, but I assure you, there is nothing to be scared of, you are going to be alright." I remained curious, but something about Isaac's attitude put me at ease. Maybe it was the sincerity in his eyes or the air of authority that surrounded him. But whatever it was, I found myself nodding hesitantly.We continued to drive a little further into the woods, but then we got to a point and Isaac said we would have to continue our journey on foot. He led me through the woods, weaving through the narrow paths with a practiced ease and after some minutes of walking, we arrived at a strange structure in the middle of nowhere. It l
Aimee's POVThe car drove into the premises of the castle that stood in pride before me. There was a huge water fountain at the far right side of the compound. It looked neat and well-kept. There were a lot of people standing at various points in the compound and I could only guess that they were…“Guards, mostly warriors” my thoughts were interrupted by a man I had never met“Good day, Mi lady” he greeted me the moment I turned to him. “I’m Alec. I’ll be your tour guide until Princess Reine is ready to see you”I stared at him for a good number of seconds. He was so close to being as tall as Lucien. His brown hair and green eyes fit him quite well. Reluctantly, I forced a smile. It was like I had not trusted someone to bring me here. And now I am here. However, the aura he gave up was that of authority but it was also calm.He gestured for me to start the walk up the stairs that would lead us into the castle building. Before stepping on the stairs, I glanced at the two gigantic statu
