(Alexander’s POV)
Evelyn finally fell asleep in my arms, and I continued to stroke her hair to make her feel close to me. I was attentive and guarded until the ground rocked fiercely and the air appeared to sizzle with ominous electricity. My heart plummeted when I recognised the scary signals. This was happening again.
I immediately opened my mindlink, my voice calm but commanding.
“Omegas, children and pregnant women, head to the safe house immediately. Warriors assemble outside the mansion. Everyone, prepare for battle. This is it!”.
Turning to Evelyn, I saw her eyes open and were full of worry.
“Evelyn, you need to stay here. I can’t risk you or the baby” But she shook her head, h
(Author’s POV)The battlefield was a whirlwind of chaos. Roars and growls mixed with the crackle of magic and the cries of battle. Every member of Alex’s united army fought with everything they had, pushing Daimon’s forces back inch by inch.“Don’t go anywhere” Veronica said before moving a little farther to help Rain and the vampire twins fend off a group of advancing enemies.Now, Evelyn was alone, standing on the edge of the battlefield. Her focus was entirely on Alex, her chest tightening every time Daimon’s attacks connected. She clenched her fists, silently willing Alex to hold his ground.Without warning, a cold hand clamped onto her forehead from behind. Evelyn’s eyes widened in shock, but before she could react, a
(Alexander’s POV)The conference room in the mansion was thick with tension. Everyone was seated around the large oak table in the center, their faces a mix of determination and worry. Maps, ancient texts, and enchanted artifacts were strewn across the table, but none of it seemed to offer a clear solution. I stood at the head of the table, my fists pressed against its surface as I leaned forward, my gaze dark and focused.“We have to find a way to get into Daimon’s realm,” I said, my voice low but filled with authority.“I don’t care how dangerous it is. Evelyn is in there, and we’re getting her back” My aunt stepped forward.“Alex, we all want Evelyn back, but this isn’t just about wanting. Daimon&
(Evelyn’s POV)My eyes fluttered open, head heavy and throbbing. I blinked several times, trying to adjust to my surroundings. The sky above me was a swirling mix of dark purples and crimson reds, streaked with jagged lightning that seemed to crackle without sound. The ground beneath me was solid, yet it shimmered faintly as though made of some otherworldly material. Twisted trees with blackened trunks and blood-red leaves loomed in the distance, their shadows casting eerie shapes across the barren landscape.This wasn’t Earth.My breath hitched as the realization sank in. I pushed myself up, my body trembling, and tried to make sense of everything. The last thing I remembered was standing at the edge of the battlefield, watching Alex fight. Then…my heart raced, someone had touched me, and everyth
(Evelyn’s POV)I'm not sure how many days had passed since I was kidnapped, but every day I woke up with the hope of being back home in Alex's arms.I was sitting on the cold, stone floor of the room Daimon had confined me in. The air was thick with a malevolent aura, but I refused to let it break me. My hand rested on my stomach, which I now subconsciously cradled whenever I felt the overwhelming despair creeping in. My voice was soft but firm as I spoke to the child growing within me."Your father is strong," I murmured, my eyes distant as I envisioned Alex."He will find us. I know he will. He won't stop until we're safe in his arms... You’re so loved already, little one. You’re our hope...our strength”.
(Evelyn’s POV)Next day, I opened my eyes to see a few of the monstrous creatures surrounding me. The second I stood up, they dragged me through the dim, foreboding corridors of Daimon’s realm. The walls seemed alive, pulsing with a dark, sinister energy. Despite my resistance, their grip was unyielding, forcing me forward into an even darker, colder chamber.The moment I stepped inside, an overwhelming heat washed over me. The center of the room was dominated by a vast pit of glowing, bubbling lava, casting an eerie orange glow over everything. Around the edges of the chamber stood Daimon’s monstrous army, their grotesque forms motionless yet intimidating. Their glowing eyes fixed on me as if awaiting a command.At the far end of the room, Daimon sat on a massive obsidian throne, his posture casua
(Author’s POV)Daimon’s sharp eyes darted around the crumbling chamber, his expression darkening. His monstrous army shifted uneasily, growling in confusion as the shaking intensified.Then, with a deafening crack, a hole formed in the air…just like the ones Daimon used to traverse realms. But this one was different, its edges glowing with a fierce golden light that seemed to purify the dark energy surrounding it.Daimon’s eyes narrowed in confusion and alarm. Before he could react, a figure stepped through the hole… Alex emerged, his aura radiating fury and determination, his eyes blazing with the primal rage of a protective mate. His fists were clenched, and his every step seemed to shake the ground beneath him.“Daimon!” Ale
(Author’s POV)The air was thick with anticipation as the seconds seemed to stretch on forever. The entire group stood outside the mansion, their eyes fixed on the second hole that had appeared in the sky, its swirling darkness ominous and uncertain. Everyone knew this was the moment that would determine everything.Suddenly, the hole rippled, and out of it stepped Alex, carrying Evelyn in his arms. His face was hard, his eyes filled with a mixture of exhaustion and relief. Behind him walked Daimon’s mother, her presence calm and serene amidst the chaos.A collective sigh of relief went through the group as they rushed forward to meet them. Veronica, her eyes wide with concern, immediately approached Alex.“Take her inside” She urged, her vo
(Evelyn’s POV)My eyes widened in shock. I blinked a few times, trying to process the revelation."Daimon’s mother?" I repeated, my voice a mix of disbelief and curiosity. Alex nodded, his face etched with gratitude."Yes. She’s the one who helped us bring you back. She’s the reason I could get to you in time. She stood against her son to save you... to save all of us".My heart felt a strange pang. Daimon’s mother, a woman who had likely witnessed so much pain and darkness, had still chosen to help them. It was a surprising, even humbling thought. And before I could say anything else, the woman took a few slow steps forward, her eyes soft and warm. She moved as if the world around her didn’t matter, her focus solely on me.
(Evelyn’s POV)The sun was shining warmly through the large windows of the mansion’s living room, casting a golden glow over everyone gathered there. I sat on the plush sofa, my laughter ringing through the space as the younger members of our group surrounded me with endless jokes and playful banter.Chris had just finished an exaggerated imitation of Magnus’s battle stance, earning hearty laughter from the group, including me.“Hey!” Magnus protested, trying to keep a straight face but failing miserably.“I don’t look like that!”“Oh, you do,” Veronica quipped from her seat by the fireplace, a smirk playing on her lips.
(Alexander’s POV)The morning sunlight filtered softly through the curtains, casting a warm, golden glow across the room. I stirred, my senses slowly coming to life. My first instinct was to tighten my hold on the warmth in my arms, and then my eyes fluttered open.There she was, Evelyn, my mate, lying peacefully against me. Her hair was spread across the pillow, her soft breathing steady, her face serene. After so many days of fear, chaos, and uncertainty, seeing her safe and sound felt like the most beautiful thing in the world.My heart swelled as I just lay there, watching her. I drank in every detail of her face, the way her lips were slightly parted, the soft curve of her cheek, the way her eyelashes rested gently against her skin.For a few moments, I did nothing but stare, letting the weight of everything we had been through fall away. Then, unable to resist, I leaned down and placed a tender kiss on her forehead.“I love you” I whispered softly, my voice filled with so much e
