Brielle’s POV I guess I could say I had used up my bit if luck for the month by making Giveon leave because when I turned up to work on Monday, there was a board meeting that I had no idea about! “I wasn’t informed about this,” I murmured under my breath as the board room that was just across my office started to feel up gradually. “I’m guessing Miss Levine has failed to read up on all the documents sent to her by the Administrative department. This meeting is a standard one that happens every week,” Huxley said as he entered the room and heavens knows, I was forcing every bone in me to not roll my eyes at him. Despite me just murmuring, he had heard with his shifter abilities but the most he could have done was just keep quiet. From dealing with some cocky vampire during the weekend to coming to meet some cocky Alpha here on Monday morning, my patience was starting to wane out. The meeting started soon and thankfully, it didn’t start from me. After three department head stood
Brielle’s POV After about four hours of having to deal with a lot of Lucas's judgement and downing comments, we all started to agree that behind all of that rude exterior, he was really good at what he did. I had graduated top in the design diploma that I had gone to but he seemed to have gone to some big-name school. I was yet to get a hang of all those schools and qualifications that were used in the human world but that was fine, the important thing was to make sure our team had results to hand over in very little time from now. “Whew! I always wondered why we had to take that accounting minor in my third year and now I get it,” Richard said as he slumped on my couch exhausted. As soon as we finished getting the estimates, everyone was dead tired, of course, that was besides the man that sat across me with his leg raised up. At some point in the four hours, Lucas had even dozed off without any care about the struggle we were going to. “Four hours is a lot, I think we should
Brielle’s POV After spending about two hours bonding with Zora, I was impressed by how much we had in common. Beneath all of that dyed hair and bubbly exterior, we were both people that enjoyed to do things on our own. She was also relatively new here which made me have some relevance to her. “Do you stay alone? I wish we met sooner really, because I stay alone and it’s so boring once I’m behind those four walls,” she said and then slurped down some more of her milk shake as her eyes eyed me with intensity. “No, I don’t. I have just one friend and we stay together, her name is Anya. Maybe you guys can meet some other time,” I told her and tried to see if I had anyone that was looking for a roommate in my head. But my circle was only so small, I eventually just gave up. “You would eventually find someone, I felt the same way when I moved here, I thought I would never fit in and find my way but here we are,” “Okay, that’s true, I’ll give it some time,” she agreed and then mo
Huxley’s POV “Huxley, are you sure you don’t want to come by? There would be girls from all races there,” Liam said as he sent me an exaggerated wink. “Is there something special about them?” I asked with cocked brows, allowing him to take away my attention from the document I was still working on. “Of course, banging a vampire is different from a witch and different from a human girl,” Liam said shamelessly. “You have had that much variety?” I had only been with one woman, Katie. We both had an arrangement that would help us keep our bodies and wolves satisfied without us developing feelings. Yet, she had gone ahead and done just that. I had ended things as soon as I discovered them. My heart belonged to only one person. The one person I wanted to hate as much as I wanted to love and even right now, the only reason why I was deciding to finish up work instead of going for a run before continuing at home was because of her scent that wafted into my office. That was a year a
Brielle’s POV I had barely gotten any sleep with the news that papa was sick but even with that, I got up quite early and dressed in one of the new outfits I had gotten with Anya. “Hey, you barely slept so I made you some pancakes and coffee,” she said as soon as I walked out of the room. “I heard you rolling all over and then standing up from the bed so many times,” she added before I could ask how she knew. It was hard to believe that Anya was human sometimes. She seemed so ‘unhuman’ if that was a word. “Thank you, I’ll be making a trip down to my hometown today, I need to see my papa and see if I could get any chances of saving him.” I told her as I coated one of the pancakes with syrup. “I know someone that might be able to treat him, she’s not a doctor, but she’s my aunt and she’s got some powers that she claims helps her to heal people,” Anya said with a soft smile. There was something in her gaze that I couldn’t understand. But if Ava was correct and dad was sufferin
BRIELLE's POV “Anya,” I called out as I entered the house, although I expected her to be at home, I could sense that there was someone inside the house. Moreover, the door had been left unlocked. “Anya?” I called out again, this time, my voice gave out my fear as it shook a little. Sometimes, we get used to things always going the wrong way and now my soul was mared deeply with fear. “Relax, it’s just me,” Giveon’s familiar voice rang out as he stepped out from my room. “What are you doing here?” I asked harshly, unable to feel any relief from knowing nothing was wrong. “That’s not a way to greet someone that’s here to help you,” Giveon said with dissatisfaction that had my brain swirling. “Help me? Why? With what?” Without processing anything, I asked as the the thoughts came to my head. “Helping you get back home, your papa is sick and needs help, so let’s go help him together,” Giveon said and then placed a traveling back that I wasn’t familiar with on the table. “I’m
GIVEON’s POV I had spent an hour traveling to Brielle’s pack and confirming that her papa was really sick. After all, despite how much she had talked about her ‘hometown’ to Anya, I was unwilling to believe they cared about her like I did. Not in three years had any of them tried to pay her a visit or check how she was doing. And so the moment Anya called me to tell me about her plans to travel, the first thing I did was confirm that it was no trap. After that, I had come back to help us pack, her papa’s wound was deadly and needed a highly skilled witch. Yet, the moment she came, I was met with her cold reception again. How baldly had she been hurt by being banished that she wouldn’t dare to trust me? But the moment I lashed out, I regretted it. I regretted showing her the side of me that wasn’t meant for her. The side of me that was meant for my enemies, our enemies. “I…I’m sorry,” Brielle said weakly, her voice soft and hoarse from me pressing down on her neck tigh
BRIELLE’s POV True to his words, Giveon gave me a little over an hour even after I was done eating. Since traveling with him was going to make up for the time I would have spent walking, I didn’t say a word. There was so much I was trying to process with my thoughts and with my heart. Usually, my wolf would have a better understanding but after years of shunning Roxy, in this moment that I needed her, she was dead to me. No matter how much I had called her to explain what was happening. Why had it felt like my soul had reached out with that of Giveon earlier? Did I have some mate that I had no idea about. It was all so frightening to me. After all, interracial relationships were shunned in our world. To be specific, wolves would not mate with anyone else, anyone that did that would have to face being rejected by their pack and being lone wolves for the rest of their lives. After all, the moon goddess had granted us mates because she wanted us to keep the bloodline between
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
