BRIELLE's POVI opened my eyes slowly. All of the events that had happened the previous day came rushing back into my mind. I remembered that my wolf had gone into heat, and then Anya had called Giveon, but then somehow Huxley had showed up before him, and then Huxley had brought me away...I distantly remember that Huxley seemed to be calling Giveon last night. But why will he call Giveon when he hates him more than anything? I tried to sit up on the bed. The headache I felt was gruelling. It was as if someone was hitting my head with a sledgehammer. I felt like I was going to lose my mind. Just what is this? I looked around the room. I was the only one inside. Clearly, someone had given me a bath last night because my entire body felt refreshed. Just then, I heard some noises coming from downstairs. I got off the bed. I realised just then that my legs hurt a lot. I sucked in a breath as I walked downstairs slowly. Immediately I entered the living room, I saw Huxley and Giveon
HUXLEY's POV"Don't think that I want to be here! I'll leave as soon as Brielle is awake I just want to make sure that she's okay. I don't want to spend time with you. You are not that great!" Giveon said. He had an annoying smile on his face, and I really wanted to slap that smile off his face. How dare he act as if it's all okay? "Don't worry. I am going to be here for her. Go do whatever it is that you want to do! But just get the hell away from my house!" I said to Giveon. Call me selfish, but I don't want Brielle to know that Giveon was here to help her. I don't want her to have any contact with you. I want her to forget about him slowly. Then maybe one day, I'll be able to convince her to reject Giveon as her mate, and then I'll have her all to myself. "Don't think that I don't know what you are doing, Huxley. You just want me gone so Brielle won't know that I am here. I won't let you do that! I am going to see her before I leave today! Don't think that you can make me leave
HUXLEY's POV"Don't you get it? I am saying that I like both of you! I really don't want to have to choose here!"The both of us went quiet when Brielle said this. I could not fault her for this because I've seen how much Giveon loves her. He loves her as much as I love her. But that did not mean I wanted to share my mate, especially with a vampire as annoying as Giveon. I want her to choose. And I want her to choose me. "Brielle.... how can you say that? There has to be someone that you like more between the both of us, right? Think about Brielle. You and I are the perfect match for each other. He is a vampire and we are both shifters. Have you ever thought of how difficult it is going to be for a shifter and vampire to be together? You should choose me!" I told her. Brielle glared at me. "Okay, that is a low blow from you, Huxley. We are not talking about who's a perfect fit here. We are talking about who we like and I am telling you that I like you equally. I really don't want
HUXLEY's POVI don't want to do that. If we can't do this ...I will just have to go away. I'll go somewhere where the both of you can't ever find me" Brielle said. My heart skipped a beat when I heard this. I don't think that I will be able to take it if Brielle decides to disappear from me. I am definitely going to lose my mind if she dares to pull something like that on me. Compared to having her disappear, I think having to share her with Giveon is a bit more acceptable right now. Giveon glared at me. "Are you sure that this is what wants to happen? Do you seriously want to see her walk away? Do you want her to disappear?" Giveon asked me. I shook my head. Of course, I don't want something like that to happen. "Of course not! I don't want it to happen!" I said. "Then you'll just have to find a way to deal with this. You have to learn that I'll always be a part of Brielle's life right now. And although I hate you, I am going to try to tolerate the fact that you'll always be a
GIVEON's POVImmediately Brielle got up to go inside, I went after her. I didn't like the idea of having to share her with Huxley, but I know that I am going to regret it if I ever let her walk away from me.I went after her. She was about to shut the door when I arrived. I held the door so she could not shut it. "Are the both of you done fighting? All you've done all morning is argue with each other. It's not as if you are kids!" Brielle said. I could see that she was upset. "Oh, come on, Brielle, you can't blame me for this! He's the one who was picking a fight! Don't you see what he was doing?" I asked her. "Yeah, but don't think that I don't know that you were fuelling it. You were provoking him on purpose! I could see that clearly!" She said. I rolled my eyes. "So fine. What if I was doing it on purpose? You can see the way he was acting! He was being such a jerk! I just wanted to rile him up a bit, and he fell into the trap!" I said.I have to admit that it was really simple
HUXLEY'S POVBeing summoned by the elders, I really thought that everything was fine, but then again, they were the elders.They never relayed any good news it always seemed like they were created to nag me.Stepping into the courtroom, the sounds of the large doors being by the guards boomed with a loud thud that echoed.My eyes scanned the large courtroom, which was luxuriously ancient. It was fine that way.Eight chairs were arranged in a curve pattern, and eight elders were seated and staring at me like I was their worst enemy.Sighing, I crossed my arms on my chest. "Why am I here?" I asked."To announce your duties." The first elder Derrick said sternly."Huh?" I raised a brow. "I always perform my duties.At my words, they glanced at themselves, communicating with their eyes before looking at me with forced grins that made me narrow my eyes at them."Seriously?" I asked and shook my head. "What on earth is this about?""Huxley, you should find a mate as soon as possible," Geral
HUXLEY's POVI walked away from the elders angrily. I was boiling in anger. How dare they try to do this to me? It just doesn't make sense at all! Get a mate and get married? Does it all sound so easy to them? Do they think that I want to do this? Besides, I am still mated to Brielle, and I don't plan to break our mate bond ever in my life. Thinking of Brielle, I was even more angry than before. She must be having a good time with that bastard Giveon now, right?!"Are you mad, Your Highness? You should know that the elders are only doing this for your sake! They just want to help you. You can't fault them for this, right? For wanting to help? You really need a Luna. If you had a Luna that actually cared about you, you wouldn't be so cranky all the time!" Nathan said. I didn't even need to turn to know that it was him. His annoying voice was already grating in my ears. Is it so bad that I just wanted to slam this idiot against a wall, choke him to death and be done with it? "Yo
HUXLEY's POVThe "Alpha Huxley " was said so sarcastically. It is clear that he's trying to provoke me.I sighed. What am I going to do now? .....I sat in front of the Elders. They all had grins on their faces. It had been a few days since they announced that she should get a Luna. "Since you've already decided that you don't want to pick a Luna for yourself, we are going to do just that for you. We already got someone. Her father used to be the former beta, so we are sure that she has what it takes to be a good Luna. She can make a good Luna and mate for you. Her name is Lora!" One of the elders said. I frowned. I really don't want to deal with this right now. Why are they doing this to me? It just doesn't make sense at all. "I think that all of you are forgetting that I am the Alpha here. I am the Alpha, and not all of you. You are supposed to listen to me and not the other way around! What makes you think that I am going to do whatever it is that you want? Do you really think
CHAPTER 191Five Years LaterEva and I stood on the balcony of the palace. We were drinking coffee. It had been five years since Giveon, Huxley, and I had our son, and Huxley, Giveon, and I had decided that it was time for us to have a second daughter. Because of that, I have given up drinking tor now. I won't be doing anything that could hinder my chances of getting pregnant. "So? How is it going with Peter?" I asked Eva. Eva sighed when I brought up her new mate, who had been chasing her for a few months now. After I killed Nathan, Eva slipped into depression. There was nothing that I could do to snap her out of it. She was done for a few months. She really loved Peter, and then he went and did that to her, it was understandable that she was sad.A few months later, she finally snapped out of it and started to live her life again. But she was never really healed. She has gotten over Nathan and his betrayal, but it was always as if there was something that she used to protect he
BRIELLE"No! No! Stay away!" She screamed. "Please!" "You have to calm down Eva. You have to understand why I am making this decision." He said trying to calm her down and also trying to calm himself."What do I have to understand?! That you want to kill my best friend?! You want to murder Brielle and you want me to calm down?" Eva asked. There was raw pain in her voice and I did not want to watch this. "Eva. You have to understand that Brielle is a threat to us all and I am the only one who can eliminate that threat right now." Nathan said still maintaining that calm tone."What?!" She snapped. "A threat? Are you even listening to yourself?" I know Eva. I know how much she loves Nathan. She's probably trying to tell herself that he must have been brainwashed. And that is why I am here. To make sure she doesn't fall for his lies!"If you love me, you won't do this Nathan." She whispered to him and I knew it was my cue to step in. I can let her be fooled by this man again. "Please
BRIELLE's POV"My child?" I asked, surprised then looked at my innocent baby boy who had just come to the world only to be threatened by death. I saw red and handed my baby to the midwife.I trusted her and she froze feeling honored.The maid was startled by my firmness. It seemed like she was expecting me to be completely weak but it was her loss for expecting that. I raced towards her, grabbed her neck, and slammed my forehead against hers, then grabbed the dagger she was holding and shoved it into her neckAs her body fell to the ground, I rushed outside to see strong men heading to my chamber. They were stunned to see me stained with blood and looking as insane as ever."You fools!" I screamed at them. They were not going to touch my child! Not while I was aliveI ran towards them, killing them with breaking a sweat and they all led me to the throne room. Many of them were gathered and looked shocked.I let the dagger fall to the ground, smiling wickedly then released my powers in
CHAPTER 188 BRIELLE I was pacing up and down in my room waiting for Huxley to come back. Giveon was in the room with me. "I think that you need to calm down. You aren't going to get anything out of it if you keep panicking like this. I think that he's strong enough to handle the elders now" Giveon told me. "You think that I don't want to believe that? I want to believe that nothing will go wrong too but I don't know what I am supposed to trust anymore. I feel like things are about to get so out of hand!" I told Giveon. "But this is what you want right? This is what you've always wanted. You said that this would draw them out of their hiding place. Seriously, we wouldn't be doing this if this wasn't your plan!" Giveon said. I sighed. "I know ...I guess that it must be my pregnancy messing with my emotions. I don't even know what's wrong with me anymore. I don't know what to think!" I told him. Just then, the door was pushed open and Huxley walked in. "Huxley! How did it g
Nathan's POVThere were many types of situations I've gotten involved in. Most of them involved taking lives. Of course, I had to spill blood.However, things were absolutely different now.I was summoned by the elders.It was the first time, but I knew the elders so well to know that they were never happy with good news. They were like demons! And never relayed any good advice but anything that was linked to chaos and destruction.Entering the main room where the elders usually gathered, their customary stern expressions made me cringe a bit. I couldn't help but wonder what they wanted to make me do this time."Nathan. You're late." The oldest of them all said."I have my own life, you know," I said, rolling my eyes."Do not disrespect us!" One of them boomed in rage, offended at my gesture."Why am I here?" I asked frustratedly, completely ignoring his outburst. I wasn't here to start a fight with an elder, but I knew that it was inevitable since they always tried their best to fin
Huxley's POVLetting out the news that you are back here and you have activated your powers..... is just going to put you in danger. And that is the last thing that I want. For you to get in danger," I said. Brielle sighed. "Giveon, Huxley, I am pregnant," she said. Both our expressions went blank when we heard this we weren't expecting this at all. She's pregnant ...how?! When?! "You are pregnant....how is this possible?" I asked her. She rolled her eyes. "How do you think people get pregnant? I am going to have a baby. We can't continue to ignore this forever. We can't just run away from it forever. They killed my mom, and they tried to kill me. They are also going to come for my child one day. I need to make sure that my child will be fine. That he won't be affected by those people. That is why we need to do this, and we need to do it now!" Brielle said. Giveon nodded his head. "You are right, Brielle. Hiding from them is never a solution because they are going to find you at
HUXLEY's POVI was shocked when I saw Brielle walk in. I thought that we would have to go through a lot before we found her, but we didn't even need to do that at all. She just walked up to us herself what is going on here? Brielle...what is going on? Is this really you? I thought...I thought....how are you here? How did you get away?."" I would like to tell both of you the entire story, but I think that it will have to wait for some other time. There is something I picked that the both of you need to know!""Who is he, and what is he doing here, Brielle?" Giveon asked her"He is ...he is from my kingdom. Like I said, I have a lot of things that I want to tell both of you. There are a lot of things that I found out about my pack that you both need to know," she said. "What is going on? What do you need to tell us, Brielle?" I asked her. "Well, you see, I come from a lineage of demigods. Many years ago, our ancestors were sent down to restore peace to the Earth because there was a
BRIELLE's POVJust because he wants to be an Elder? He doesn't mind giving up the people who are important to him just so that he can get what he wants! " Eva said. I took Eva into a big hug. "You don't have to blame yourself for this, Eva. You didn't do anything wrong. He is the one who was wrong for doing this to you. Don't spend your time thinking about a person who isn't worth it at all!" I said."I know. Don't think that I don't know any of this. I know that I should hate him, especially since after what he has done to me, but I can't...I really can't help myself here at all! I am so hurt by what he has done!" Eva said. "Eva, please don't tell me that you are thinking of taking him back after all of this. Don't tell me that you are going to beg him if he apologises to you?" I asked her. Eva immediately shook her head as if I had suggested the most evil thing in the universe. "Of course not! I am not going to forgive him! Not after what he has done to you! What he has done to u
BRIELLE's POVI can't take that risk. I have to make sure that everything is fine for my child. I won't give birth to my child when there's a danger like that coven lurking around," I said. "Are you sure that this is what you want, Brielle? You want to go against that coven?" Dad asked me. I nodded my head. "It is not as if I am trying to go against them because I don't have anything better to do with my time. I would prefer if I never had to deal with them in my life, but I can't just ignore this. I can't do it. I have to make sure that they won't hurt anyone else the way that they hurt my mom. I have to make sure that my child won't be their victim," I said. "Fine. Since that is what you want to do, then I am going to support you," Dad told me. I turned to Eva, who hadn't said anything since. "Eva? Are you okay?" I asked her. She nodded her head. "Yes. I am fine. I am just trying to process this. You are pregnant....wow....this is huge news," she said. I smiled as I patted m
