Exalia’s pov.To be very honest, the task before me was not an easy one, and any one who was not physically, mentally and most importantly, spiritually strong could not handle this at all. For what seemed like days now, we had been battling these demons.The water around me was initially green, but then I noticed something. It had slowly began turning blue, not just any could blue, but a brilliant blue. The light also began to spread upwards towards the skies and it touched the root of the tree and then went on to touch the branches of the tree above the ground.As this happened, it screamed loudly, a loud cry of agony, pain and liberation, all at once.And just in the moment, it’s form quickly disintegrated into a disgusting and irritating splash of dark particles.These particles were absorbed by the earth, maybe as manure or maybe as something else, but that didn’t matter to me at all.With one final push and surge, I plunged my self up to the surface of the water, gasping despe
Exalia’s pov.We all took a deep breath and sighed, and then we began our journey back to the top.The whole atmosphere was now calm and peaceful, nothing like we had ever seen since we came to this forbidden place.Alex clung on to me, he held my hands tightly, not letting me out of his sight.Mabel crouched beside Alex, still scared as usual. Poor Mabel, she had witnessed more than her eyes could see, and more then her mouth could speak. “Alex, thank you so much for your love and support,” I said to Alex, feeling the love and reassurance he had for me.He looked at me and smiled. “You’re welcome my dear, but you don’t have to thank me, I’ll always be there for you.” He said , smiling and pecking me on my cheek.“We’re going to throw a big party once we get out of this mess,” he said to me, still smiling and looking at me lovingly.“Uhh, let’s just celebrate it privately, I don’t really fancy big parties all the time.” I replied, appreciating his party idea.“Hmmm, alright my love,

We soon began our journey back home, and If I told you that this journey was easy, call me a liar.We were all hungry and famished, and we had all run out of water and food supplies.“Let’s quickly head home, I wouldn’t like for us to sleep in this dead place for another night,” Alex said as he walked faster, and urged all of us to do the same.He was no doubt very correct, there was no way we would sleep here for another night.I began to wonder about what we would eat, because I had become famished and hungry, and so had everyone.“I’m hungry,” I whispered to Alex, and he looked at me, and was about to tease me, but he suddenly stopped.“I’m so hungry too, it’s a pity we do not have Šÿ belly satisfying food at all.We thought about plucking fruits to eat, but to our utter dismay, there was no single fruit that was present, despite all the trees in sight.“It’s very hard to believe that despite all these plenty trees, there’s no single fruit to pluck.” Kofi said, speaking out boldly
Exalia's POV “Where am I?” I mumbled softly to myself, my eyes darting around, but it was white all around with no human activities detected. It was a strange environment, blank, bare and thoroughly white. My voice echoed after me, and I couldn't help but shrink to a corner, to make my existence less obvious. As usual. “Exalia.” A soft voice rang out, and I hurriedly turned around in surprise. “Who's…" The rest of my statement got stucked in my throat as my gaze fell on a figure, who blended perfectly with the white environment. Her silken robes seemed to glow with a moonlight hue, her figure both graceful and commanding. Her silver hair cascades down in waves, and her eyes gleamed like orbs. She seemed to be stepping on soft cotton, taking a step at a time with unrivalled elegance. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. “Who are you?” I questioned doubtfully, taking two steps at a time backward. From the lessons I learned in my seventeen years of existence, I kne
Exalia's POV “No, you don’t understand. Exalia is too young. I’ve seen her grow up and know her history of being weak; she hasn’t even shifted yet.” Jake’s words pierced my heart, each one a painful stab. “She cannot be my mate, and you know that too well; how could she be my Luna? She is so weak?” His words cut deeper than I had anticipated. Tears streamed down my face as I sobbed uncontrollably, my lip trembling and eyes brimming with tears. “But you know she’s always had feelings for you. Your rejection might break her!” My dad’s frustration was evident. “I’m going to reject her in front of the pack and choose a stronger female as my mate, for the good of the pack,” Jake declared. I buried my face in my hands, my shoulders shaking with sobs. The thought of being rejected twisted my stomach into tight knots. “Gather the pack members; I want this done,” Jake commanded. “Beta Zack, follow the order.” “Yes, Alpha, but you’ll regret this,” my dad said, his voice laced with
Exalia's POV There was a knock, followed by the door opening. Maria walked in with a smug expression. “How does it feel? Don’t worry, I’ll be a good Luna to your mate,” she taunted. She approached me with an exaggerated expression of concern. “What’s wrong, Exalia? Can’t handle being turned down by your mate?” She sneered. Before I could respond, Maria’s eyes flicked toward the door. I saw Alpha Jake approaching. Maria’s face twisted into a cruel grin. “Let’s see who’s more important,” she said with satisfaction. Suddenly, she slammed her head against the door frame, crying out, “Ouch! Ow!” The speed of her actions left me stunned, unable to react. “What happened, Maria?” Alpha Jake rushed to her, entirely ignoring me. “Exalia hit me because you didn’t choose her!” Maria’s voice was filled with false indignation. She pointed at me as she spoke to Jake. He turned to look at me, his brows furrowing in anger. “Jeez, I didn’t do it,” I said weakly. “Shut up, Exalia!” J
Exalia's POV Without a word, I did as she said I only wanted to save my father, my sobs could be heard. She looked at me, “Well, there's going to be an all-alpha meeting tomorrow, so I want to make sure to serve all of them. For now, I'd talk to the alpha, but everything depends on your performance,” “Yes, Maria,” I muttered. “Maria?” She asked. “I meant Luna,” she smiled and gestured for me to leave with her hand. “My father?” I sobbed. “He'd be looked after to do your work,” she said, and after looking at my unconscious father for a while, I left. ~~~~ Walking to my house I stopped by the forest trying to feel my wolf, she could help me right? I believed I had one, but it wasn't clear to me why she didn't show up yet. I closed my eyes, focusing on the forest sounds and the gentle breeze. A strange sensation stirred within me, like a voice whispering. “Try harder, Exalia,” the voice urged me on. I drew a deep breath and concentrated. Pain exploded through my bod

Exalia’s Pov. It was like a dream world and not real life, all these seemed to be happening in a dream. How could this even be possible? What kind of tree talked and spoke? What in the world was going on? At some point,I started to pray that i would wake up from the dream.An anger seemed to well up within me, and I began to blame my ancestors.What in the world were they doing with creatures like these? Were they mad or something?How did they even discover these kind of creatures? Let alone, make a pact with them, and why did they not continue to fulfill their own side of the deal? Why did they fall? It was getting late and I needed to stop blaming and take action to solve the problem at hand. But deep down, I knew it was a reality and not a dream. The water around me started changing colour rapidly, I had never seen anything like it in my entire life. I had become exhausted and tired, but I kept on pushing for my goal, I must achieve my aim.Something that was once black, wa
Exalia’s pov.The whole atmosphere turned humid and pale at the very sight of this creature. Alex froze where stood, he was way to terrified to move an inch. For the first time in my life, I felt powerless and defenseless, I knew that non of us werewolves stood a chance against this creature.There was no amount of clawing or biting that would make a werewolf defeat this creatures. They were way to spiritual and supernatural, and I don’t remember werewolves having the ability to fight spiritual beings. We existed in the world of physical matter, and we could only fight physical creatures and not spiritual beings that disappeared and and appeared randomly at will.This creature was a creature of nightmares, it looked so unbelievable. It was half tree and half beast,and it’s body was a mass of tree roots and more than five branches.It’s facial features were very grave and they bore an expression of agony and so much rage. “There, that’s the corruption itself, that’s the embodime
Exalia’s pov.The fall was so terrible and it felt like it would never end. There wa so utter darkness all around us, and i couldn’t see any one. No one would understand the fear and doubt that was going on in my head except me, I had thought that we were falling to our deaths and we would die in this forest. I thought we would never make it out alive and back to the pack. What if we died here? How would our people find our bodies? How would we be buried? Where we going to make it out of here alive ? So many thoughts went through my head and I could not help but panic. I was in so much doubt and terror, and my heartbeat was so fast and intense that I knew my chest was going to break at any moment. We had finally landed, but it wasn’t on the ground, it was inside water, I hit my leg on a rock at the shore and I had hurt my ankle. “Ouch!” I screamed, not expecting the landing at all. I gasped for air immediately, and I pulled my self together, finding out that we were in an underg
Exalia’s pov.Yara was done listening to the ghost and I argue with one another, she moved towards tree and started to perform a ritual of purification immediately. Her hands glowed with light as she began her ritual purification excercise, and we wall watched on in awe. She started humming and dancing, then she began running around the tree and Alex and I thought she had run mad, but Kofi and Oba asked us not to worry, that it was all part of the purification process she needed to do. She began chanting words and casting spells that seems to penetrate as affect the very core fabric of reality before our very eyes. Alex walked up to me and stood beside me, he held Mabel tightly in his left hands and held me on the other hand, his touch was a reassurance that no matter the situation or the problem, we would always face it together and find a way to tackle it. Soon, Yara’s chants increased and her voice became louder. The ground began to vibrate and then shake like an earthquake, b
Exalia’s pov.Without further delay, we would begin the journey to locate the world tree, so that this madness would stop immediately. Alex took a few minutes to reset the pack before we took off, he called Marcus aside and left he and Lena in charge of the pack’s leadership while we were away. “Marcus,we’re going to have to do this for our own good,” he said to Marcus, explaining to him how grave the situation was. Marcus, his forever loyal servant listened to him attentively and promised him that he and Lena would lead the pack and govern well in his absence. “You have my wordy dear Alpha, everything will be just fine, and I wish you guys good luck in finding the world tree.” Marcus saluted his Alpha and left the room immediately. We soon began the journey to the heart of the world tree, and I must confess, it was not an easy one. It clearly wasn’t something to be taken lightly, as the Africans has asked us to carry along a lot of foodstuffs and weapon supplies. We prepared
