Third POV. They all turned in the direction where the voice came from. Seeing that it was Leila who spoke they were all suspicious since they had witnessed her attitude towards Josiah. Everyone was shocked. Josiah wore a surprise on his face since he had never thought that when the others were doubting him, only Leila would stand on his side...firmly he believed. A thought flashed on his mind making him look up at her with questioning eyes. Josiah was wondering whether Leila was playing a joke on him or not since he had tasted how the young lady could be dissatisfied by anything. Currently, he couldn't shake off the feeling that she had seen through him and it was only that she did not want to expose him. He knew that both Elana and Marcus had tried to invade his mind but they were unsuccessful. Thinking of this, he panicked a little bit as he looked at Leila whose gaze was already on him deeply. He couldn't help but wonder whether she had succeeded in invading his mind without being
Third POV. Josiah frowned as he had not imagined that would be the case. Now, he understood why Leila said she believed him yet looked at him in suspicion. Looking at the two girls and feeling everyone's eyes on him, he didn't feel so comfortable as he knew that he was in trouble since he knew that they would not believe him despite what he said. He cursed inwardly as he never thought that his flawless lie would lead him into another deep of shit. He looked at Elvis' daughter with hatred. "As I said, my adoptive parents found it in the basket that I was laid in as an infant after being picked up," he said calmly after a while. "Does that mean that you are a garbage that was picked up out of the trash? Or was it, dustbin?" Marcus said mockingly as he sized the old man. Josiah glared at him since he had never thought that the young man would be so arrogant and oppose him. How he wished that he didn't owe anyone anything making him not go through the humiliation he was in. Josiah ha
Third POV. "I guess that there is nothing else to know from you," Leila said in displeasure. "Yeah, she is right. Please don't think that because we are leaving you off today means that we believed any shit you said today. We will start investigating you immediately. Also, since you said that the book is in your hands, I would like you .... not love it if you return it to its rightful owners. You have been a resident of this kingdom from the moment you were adopted by the people who took you in; therefore, I believe that as the sun rises, in the morning, I would be expecting that book. Morning not in the afternoon or at night but in the morning. Failure to do that, we would know that all of your explanations are nothing but lies, and also, we would consider you as the lycans and werewolves' enemy and we will announce it making everyone know it,” Elana said calmly as she looked at Josiah observing him. A cold shiver ran down Josiah's spine as he heard that. He never expected such a m
Third POV. "What do you need that book for?" Leila asked her sister after everyone had left, leaving the two behind so that they could have some minutes alone. "How can a book which was written years before we were even born consist of our names and how our childhood life was? No, even now!" Elana said with curious eyes. "I don't know either but grandpa had just told us that that book was so important to our family. He had also said that if that book fell into the wrong hands, everything about us would be destroyed and we both would be in great danger," Leila said after a few moments. "Now that you have said that, he did say something like that. But I don't understand why it would cause danger and not our entire family," Elana said as she looked at the wall deeply as she was thinking too hard. "Is that the reason why you asked Josiah to give you the book?" Leila asked as she looked at her sister. Shaking her head, Elana said, "The reason why I asked for the book is because I want
Third POV. "What were you thinking?" A cold voice said. "I....I..." the man kneeling in front of the person who spoke first said. Even though the man wasn't facing him since he was seated on a chair made of an oak tree, he couldn't help but shiver in fear since he knew how capable the man was. "What? I thought that you were so confident in front of the girls and everyone else in the kingdom. What's holding you back from replying to me?" the man seated on the chair asked calmly. Despite his voice being assuring and calm, there was a hint of murderous glint that couldn't be ignored. Seeing that he wouldn't be getting any answer so soon, the man turned his chair and looked at the old man kneeling. His eyes were full of disdain. Although the other man saw it from the corner of his eyes, making him feel bitter in his heart, he tried his best not to show his hurt look. "There was one reason I took in and in the last couple of years, I had always reminded you so that you may never forg
Third POV. Elana looked at her sister upon hearing her words. She tried to figure out what Leila wanted to tell her or why she looked how she was but she couldn't make her feel as if her baby sister had grown up to be a grown-up. "What's up?" she asked for some time after waiting for Leila who had her head lowered to talk but all she got was silence. "I am so sorry," Leila said as tears rolled down her cheek. Seeing this, Elana was heartbroken and hurriedly wiped off the tears since she couldn't tolerate it. "Why are you saying sorry? Why are you even crying?" Elana asked as she lifted her sister's chin. Leila felt worse and even more guilty as she saw the caring look on Elana's face. Leila sniffed as she wiped her face then breathed in and out loudly before talking, "I have always been jealous of you." Hearing this, Elana maintains her previous calm look not showing any new or unusual expression making Leila bite her lower lip. Seeing that Elana's eyes were still on her, she l
Third POV. "The hell! Who is that who can't let us have the sister's time?" Elana asked as she stood up and walked towards the door. On the other hand, Leila chuckled upon hearing her sister's words. After all, it's been some time since Elana got mad because of such a stupid thing. "Bla bla bla. Like you both forgot about me! Even though I am not a girl like both of you, I am your family like daah!" Marcus said as he got into the room through the small space in between Elana and the door. "Although you are a family, where did you hear that we need you here? Just get out before I throw you out," Elana said as she opened the door wider. "Babe, how can you do that to me? Don't you love me anymore?" Marcus asked as he pretended to cry, making Leila smile genuinely as she looked at the scene before her. "Don't babe babe me here. I want to spend my time with my sister so get out!" Elana shouted. "You don't love me anymore," he said as he shed tears. Leila was trying so hard to preven
Third POV. They all stopped what they were doing and looked at Marcus waiting for him to say more about what he had just said but all they got was silence. "What the heck? If you aren't going to speak then kindly just leave," Elana said as she gestured to him at the door, making Marcus roll his eyes. "Okay, okay. Fine, I will talk," Marcus said as she raised his hands as a surrender. Elana walked towards the door and shut it since it was open and what they would be talking next may be regarded as private that even the council wasn't qualified to hear it. "Gosh. Marcus, I just hope that what you are saying is true, not just a method to get our attention and for us to allow you to stay in the room with us," Leila said with a serious face since she had doubts about what Marcus said. "You hurt me, Leila," Marcus said as he put his hand on the left side of his chest demonstrating how much he was wounded by her words making Leila roll her eyes. She wished that she just called him a dra
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
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. 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
