Third POV.“What?” they all exclaimed as they looked at her in disbelief.“Grandma, are you serious?” Leila asked curiously.“Yes, I am. Do you think I can be joking because of such a serious thing? I know everything that has been going on and have seen how you guys treat others after knowing your true identities,” the moon goddess said with a displeasing look and disappointment evident in her eyes.“Why? Why should we trust him? Also, we have always treated others or as I should say, people whom we don’t know the same way we treated him hence I can’t understand why you tend to be disappointed in us for how we treated him or is there something we should know of?” Elana asked as she tried to read the moon goddess's emotions upon hearing her question.“Kid, I can't believe you are trying to read my emotions. Don’t you dare forget your place,” the moon goddess said coldly, making them flinch.Leila looked at her and wondered why she reacted in such a way and it was just reading the emotio
Third POV. With that said, the moon goddess left leaving them shocked. “How can she leave after just saying that?” Elana shouted after realizing what had happened. “Let's leave it there. She is already gone and there is no way she would come back here no matter how many times we summon her,” Leila said, making the others nod in agreement. “So what are we going to do about Josiah? Should we do as she said or?” Marcus asked but deep down he already knew the answer since he knew the two sisters more than anyone else. “No,” they shouted. “Won't she be angry at us?” He asked nervously. He was afraid of what would happen to them when the moon goddess was angry. He understood that they were in her territory and the fact that they were a family didn't help at all. “Yeah, she will be but what does she expect?” Leila said as she rolled her eyes. “As for Josiah, I will make him pay for the slap. Even though he isn't the one who hurt me, he is the main reason I was injured,” Elana said wi
Third POV.Hearing that, the family of three looked at each other and wondered what time it was and why he was already back."It's two in the afternoon," Marcus said after looking at his watch.“I guess it is either that grandma has talked to him about the book,” Leila said.“I think so too but not entirely. It is either grandma has told him not to worry about us and we will entirely believe him even though he does have a book or since she already knows after what she did we might deny her …” Elana said what was on her mind but was interrupted by Marcus“Maybe she put a little effort into finding the book and handing it to him,” he said, making the girl shake their heads in agreement.“If that book could be found so easily then that would mean that it was never stolen and the old nanny returned or they took it from her,” Leila said, making her sister nod in agreement and Marcus understand.“Well, guess we can wait and see what Josiah has for us. Maybe he will surprise us,” Elana said
Third POV. “Do you think that this is related?” another elder chimed in. “It all makes sense. The kidnapping and the ambush,” Matthew said. “You are all right but can’t you remember Josiah saying that it was written in another language and that even his adoptive parents couldn’t understand anything? If I am not wrong, it might be an ancient language,” Elijah said, making the people who thought it was related to keep quiet. On the other hand, Josiah clenched his hands when he had that, he wished that he could kill Elijah but still blamed himself for knowing what he knew about the book. He had thought that he could easily fool everyone but he had to admit that with the presence of Elijah and Amanda things were a little too hard since he didn't explain everything in a very convincing way. Leila, Marcus and Elana looked at Elijah with admiration since they never thought that someone could remember that and even say it out loud. Seeing that her childhood friend might be labeled as a li
Third POV.“Where are you taking me?” Josiah asked as the guards encircled him.“Stop asking questions. You will know when we get there,” one of the guards asked angrily.Josiah was so angry that he wondered where the guard had gotten the nerve to ask him in that manner. Ever since he was a child, he was admired by my kids of his age and some of the parents were envious of his parents. They wished that they were the ones who had taken him in. The fact that his adoptive parents were elders of the kingdom helped out too, that’s why even the members of the council and the kings were so respectful to him. If it weren’t for what had happened years ago, he would have been a member of the council too. Even though he refused it, he has always been considered as one.Elana had a smirk on her face when she saw his angry face, she knew what he was thinking but she didn’t care about that at all. She rubbed the cheek that her grandmother had slapped her and smiled as she swore revenge even though
Third POV.“Why are you asking, child?” Aiden’s father said.“Well, before we continue, guards, why don’t you do as you have been instructed?” Leila said upon noticing that they were still standing and Josiah listening to what was being discussed.“Oh, and please don’t forget what my sister-in-law has instructed. Only meat as his meal and he should be provided with it three times a day,” Aiden said, backing his mate.When everyone heard this, they knew he was giving Leila full power over the kingdom. He wanted everyone to know who his mate and future queen was. He also wanted to make them prepared since he didn’t want people to treat her differently.“Yes Your Majesty, Your Highness,” the bodyguards said in unison before leaving the room while dragging Josiah.Josiah could tell that they didn’t want him to hear whatever they were going to discuss. He was curious but he knew his boundary. All his life, the old man was the only person who had eyes on him but currently, he knew addition
Third POV.“What? She belongs here!” Aiden’s dad said when he heard Elana’s words.“Well, it is currently not safe for her to stay in this kingdom thus it is best if she leaves with us!” Elana said as she tried her best not to sound cold or say anything that she might regret later.“Are you trying to say that I can’t protect my own mate? If she leaves because of such a thing, what will people say? What will they think of me?” Aiden asked before his father retorted to Elana’s words.“You are a king yet you still care about what people will say about you and your family? I am so disappointed in you. If I am not wrong, if something ever happens in this kingdom when my sister starts living here and people start talking shit about both of you or even worse blame her, will you choose to believe them and try your best to prove them wrong as you force them to stop?” Elana asked seriously dumbfounding Aiden.Seeing his face, Elana knew what was on his mind, making her roll her eyes as she wond
Third POV.“We were talking about us going home. How does a miracle healer being in the kingdom help us in going home?” Marcus asked as he looked at the person who had said that sentence.“What I am trying to say is that we have no time to wait for weeks so that you can officially come to the kingdom. That was before what happened but after everything that happened yesterday, I suggest that you all reconsider your decision,” Mike said.“What are you trying to say since I can’t understand you?” Leila asked him.“I mean. We don’t know when the next ambush will be or when the great battle will be. We should get prepared. There is no time to rest,” he explained.“What he said is making sense. Also, because of the coronation, a lot of people are still in the kingdom. Even the powerful elders who have gifts. I think that both of you should take advantage of this opportunity to get close to them and request them to teach you a few things before they go back. You need to know how to use your
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
