Third POV. “Dad?” Elana asked as she couldn’t believe it. Although it had been a long time since she saw her father, she couldn’t still recognize his voice anytime she heard it. She turned around and looked at the man who was at the entrance. If one didn’t know, they would mistake Josiah for being older than the other man because the man still looked young. “Yes it is me, my dear child,” Elias said with a smile on his face when he hurriedly walked towards his eldest daughter. Elana forgot how the others always saw her, ran towards her father, and jumped into his arms. “Dad. Why did you leave us?” she asked in a whisper as she cried. She poured all the grievances she had suffered and she had endured cause she didn’t want either Marcus or Leila to know on her father’s shoulder. “I am sorry dear but I have always had an eye on you guys,” Elias said as he patted her back as a way to soothe her. Hearing this, Elana stopped crying and looked at her father with anger in her eyes. “
Third POV.“Lyannette, go back home. Your father and I will go down there to see where we can help if Leila is in danger,” Selene said to her daughter who was walking out of Erebus's mansion.“Okay. I will be busy here anyway,” she said as she winked at her mom who chuckled as she understood what she was up to.Although it was risky doing so, she knew that Lynette was stronger than others thus she couldn't be defeated. Also, she would ask some of the warriors to be at her disposal if she needed their help.Erebus stood still as he was confused cause he didn’t know what to do.At the rogue's pack:Amaya looked at Oizys coldly as if she had never seen someone with the guts to hurt her. She looked at the puppet that had walked in with Oizys and had been standing behind her as if it were her bodyguard. The more she looked at it the more she felt familiar, making her frown as the only people she was supposed to feel familiar with were her mother and Elaine.The puppet felt eyes on it making
Leila's Pov.Blue has always been my favorite color. I don't know why maybe it's because my mom's eyes are blue and I love the sea? Today is my sixteenth birthday, my mom held a big party for this day. Every werewolf is expected to get his/ her wolf on their sixteenth birthday. I was coerced to wear a gown for this day, at least it was blue and so exquisite. I am currently seated on a bench outside the pack's hall where the party is taking place. The excitement of meeting my wolf is making me restless. I know for sure that my wolf will be big since I am a beta's daughter. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice people had already gathered outside to witness my first shift. I had always watched people get their wolves since I was young and I was so delighted that I was going to experience it today. "Sweetheart, maybe you should stand up for this. We don't want you to shift when you are seated on a bench, right?" mom asked, averting my attention."Yes mom, I think you ar
Leila's pov.It's been months since mom left us. Everything has changed for the worse. I may be a beta's daughter but I am being treated as an omega."Leila, hurry up. You don't want to be late for school," my sister shouted from downstairs.At least, she is still with me even when everyone has left me. I guess after all that blood is thicker than water as they say it."Let her sleep a little longer," Marcus, Elana's mate, said."Don't you dare! You have been spoiling her too much," she said back at him.I knew that if they started their little argument it would go on till evening."I will be down in a minute," I shouted, hoping to stop the argument."It is seconds remaining now," she said.Aaargh. She is making everything difficult. She has changed since her mom's death. She is strict and not a jovial girl anymore. Everyone blames me for mom's death. They say that I am cursed and that is why I wasn't blessed with a wolf and I was the main cause of my mother's death. As much as I want
Leila's Pov.I hate celebrating my birthday since it is the day Mom was killed. The thought of the day itself brings bitterness in me. In a few hours, I would be turning eighteen, maybe it isn't that bad. At least, I would be able to gain my freedom. At the age of eighteen, one is said to be independent since she has turned legal age. In the past, this place, the pack, and everyone in it was my family, they made me feel as if I was at home and comfortable, but now? It's like I am living in hell. To escape, I was in my room packing my belongings even though I had no idea where I would go after doing that.Each outfit had some memories with it. Some with Mom and others with Elana, even Marcus. I had never met my father, he died before I was born. Mom had never told me how he died but thinking about the current situation and the rogue's attack two years ago, I think he was killed by the rogues. I wish that I was strong enough to fight them. If only I was, mom would still be here with us.
Leila's Pov I ran as fast as I could towards the direction I had in mind. I could see the pack's boundary and my heart danced with joy knowing that in a few minutes, we would be free. I would be free from all the hatred, bullying and torture. What more could a mere girl like me ask for if it wasn't freedom? Freedom from the society itself and the people in it. The closer I got, the stronger the smell of freedom hit me, and the happier I became. The boundary was full of snow and as much as I wanted to play with it, I couldn't. I couldn't risk being caught. I had had a chance to smell freedom and there was no way I could let anyone take it away from me.As I crossed the border, some sadness but me but at the same time, I had loosened up. I was so sure that the sadness was because I had left my sister behind."I am finally free," I shouted then started laughing.I looked around and saw that the area was just surrounded by tall trees and grass. How I wish that werewolves ate grass, maybe
Unknown pov.Out of a behaviour he had created, he went to the pack borders to check what was going on. He may have a beta and gamma but he couldn't rely on them in everything. He believed that since he is the leader, he himself should check up on everything once in a while. Today being on a Friday, it was his day to keep an eye on the pack's bounder and guide it.It isn't as boring as you think since there is a garden full of lively flowers and a sea just below the hill, therefore, anyone who loves nature won't get bored. Most of the time, he gets requests from people who want to go to the border to have some fun as they guide it.He was enjoying the beautiful scenery when a small figure came into his sight. He wondered who it could be since he had never seen her in her pack but after a while, he concluded maybe she was from their neighbouring pack. They had never had an issue between them because they knew that the only people who could be called and reply to it very fast in times o
Leila's POV.Happiness isn't a word that has been in my dictionary since the death of my mother, my sixteenth birthday. A few hours ago, if I had been asked even to spell it, it would have only brought bitterness in my heart and vitality. What I am used to is anguish, animosity, shrieks, and despair but bliss? I have never heard of it or even encountered it in the last two years. Now, I can't even be able to describe what I feel, how I feel. It seems strange that the fact I was trying to commit suicide but now I am alive, laughing smiling, running, joking around and even dreaming of what awaits me tomorrow.Thank you, moon goddess. For not forsaking me, for hearing and answering my cries."What are you thinking about, beautiful?" he asked."Do you really think that I am beautiful?" I asked since I had forgotten how it feels to be able to hear that name from anyone apart from my family, sister and brother."You are the most beautiful person I have ever encountered. With the best smile

Third POV. “Dad?” Elana asked as she couldn’t believe it. Although it had been a long time since she saw her father, she couldn’t still recognize his voice anytime she heard it. She turned around and looked at the man who was at the entrance. If one didn’t know, they would mistake Josiah for being older than the other man because the man still looked young. “Yes it is me, my dear child,” Elias said with a smile on his face when he hurriedly walked towards his eldest daughter.

Third POV. The more Oizys continued to inject Leila with the drug the more she frowned. It was supposed to work after ten times but she had injected her more than twenty times. Cause of this, she started to doubt whether Leila’s darkness was really locked up or not. “Leila, are you sure your darkness hasn’t awakened yet?” she asked with a frown on her face. As someone who has been taught how to read people’s expressions, Leila could tell that she had continued playing dumb for a long time making Oizys start suspecting her. Leila looked at her innocently and in confusion. “Aunt, you know I don’t know how to tell when my darkness is awake,” Leila said, making the alpha chuckle while Oizys face slapped herself cause she now understood why Leila wasn’t saying anything else apart from crying out loudly when she was being injected. She felt frustrated at how stupid she was believing that the little girl could detect it. “What are you feeling currently?” Oizys asked with a bit of worr
Third POV. “Why did I even marry you in the first place?” Erebus continued cussing at the woman making everyone halt what they were doing and looked at him. They had never seen him be so angry before thus it was quite shocking. Lynnette looked at her father in amusement and knew that if things escalated to this point, he might make them suffer so much. Now, she indeed understood her value and position in her father’s heart. “Dear, what are you saying? Don’t forget that I am even more pure than you! You have darkness in you which causes you to be evil. Can’t you think that it was the darkness inside them that made them be how they are now? Be so malicious and have the urge to see blood?” the wife asked, making Erebus even more furious. “You woman! I will kill you today!” he shouted angrily but the woman just rolled her eyes as she wasn’t afraid of death cause she knew that she would still die today even if she remained silent. “I know that even if you won’t kill me your precious d
Third POV. The almighty Erebus coward upon hearing the stern angelic yet cold voice. He looked in the direction and saw Selene and Endymion walk in. Although he was looking at them, they were looking at Lyannette who was standing beside Erebus as they were shocked to see her there. “Lyannette, what are you doing here?” Endymion asked cause he felt uncomfortable with her standing next to Endymion. He felt as if his precious daughter had been snatched away from him. “I saw guys vanishing and thought you would be in trouble if you didn’t ask the guards to follow you. Cause of that, I was coming to ask Dad to help me find where you two were going but upon coming, I found you had been ambushed hence I had to take care of it,” she answered as she ran to them. “Mom, are you okay?” she asked as she searched for injuries on her body. Selene shook her head as she remembered her husband's words. Truly, Lyannette loved her so much. “Mom, I ask Dad to divorce and kill that woman for wantin
Third POV.Leila cooperated with Oizys to give her what she wanted with an innocent look on her face.Oizys looked at Leila and felt that she was so stupid and she felt that she was as lucky as she would be able to control Leila’s darkness when it awakes as it would have been awakened by her and not its own.“Leila, how are you feeling now?” She asked with an expecting look which made Leila think deeply.“I really don’t know aunty. What should I?” she asked as she pretended to be anxious.Although Oizys was disappointed that Leila couldn’t feel anything, she didn’t show it as she was afraid that Leila would notice something was wrong.“If that’s the case, I will add a few doses then we will see. Okay?” Oizys said with a forced smile on her face.“Okay aunty,” Leila replied as she nodded her head.When she saw the injection, she pretended that she was afraid of it and took a moment to close her eyes so she could try reaching out to Amaya.“What is Amaya doing? Is the drug affecting her?
Third POV.“Lyannette gave birth?” he asked in disbelief.“Yes sir. She has two daughters, Elana and Leila but they have lived all their lives on the land,” the servant answered as she looked up to see the expression on his face.“I have granddaughters? My precious girl has two daughters. Why have I never heard of it?” he asked himself as he still found it unbelievable.The servant was one of Selene’s trusted messengers thus she knew more than everyone else.“I don’t know. Although my Lord didn’t want you to know, didn’t you send your daughter to earth to always keep an eye on Lyannette? Didn’t she tell you?’ she asked as she pretended to be curious.As expected, Erebus' eyes turned cold.“Oizys! Why did she dare keep this from me? Has she forgotten who her father is?” he asked angrily.Lynnette had just arrived at the mansion. Just as she was about to walk through the front door, she saw her mother and stepfather fighting some warriors, making her frown.Although she had followed them
Third POV. “What are you doing?” He asked immediately before the servant went as he felt that his wife was acting rather restless “What are you trying to say? I have to go so that he can save Leila!”Selene told him immediately as she panicked, making Endymion frown. He also had always thought that she didn’t love the girls but seeing her panicking look, she knew that maybe she indeed loved them. “But are you the moon goddess? The rogues also worship you, I am sure that if you talk to their alpha, he will help you out,” he told her. “No, he won’t! His mind has already been corrupted by Oizys. Although I am their goddess. They are now Oizys puppets,” she told him calmly. “Come on, let’s go. If anything happens to her, Lyannette will never forgive me! She might even choose to live with Erebus instead of me,” Selene said with worry in her eyes. “She will understand. She always does. You, on the other hand, are behaving as if she is a tool that you have to fight for,” Endymion said
Third POV. “What drug? Aunty, did you use drugs to make such a puppet?” Leila asked as she pretended to be curious. “It isn’t a puppet! It is one of my armies!” Oizys shouted angrily, making both Leila and the Alpha speechless. “An army? Then what are we? It is just a puppet cause it can’t talk and does everything you tell it to!” The alpha said in his mind but he couldn’t say it lousy afraid of what might become of him. He feared that he might become one of her so-called armies. Leila tried her best to avoid rolling her eyes on her. “Sorry, Aunty. I thought it was a puppet,” Leila said, making Oizys wish she could kill her while Alpha wondered where she had gotten the guts from. ‘Didn’t she know how much the woman hates her cause she keeps provoking her?’ “Aunty, will we be using the drug to make armies?” Leila asked as she knew when to stop. As expected. Oizys facial expression calmed a little bit. “No, but it would help in awakening your darkness,” Oizys told her as she f
