Huxley’s POV I looked up as Liam entered my office, I was certain it was him without looking up, the humans had their own scent around them, one that I hadn’t exactly gotten used to even after all these years but, they sure did smell better than hunters and those blood sucking vamps that were starting to invade the human world. “I found the lair of the spell-casting witches,” he announced as he sank into the seat opposite me. “So quick? I was thinking they would have grown some methods with our last bursting.” I was not only surprised that they had come back so quickly but to be here and not hide well enough was even dumber. “I wanted to be sure of your line of thought also. Not only did they not lie low, but they also picked the same base, Hux.” “They did?” “Then they are maybe trying to distract us from something or they have something that has made them to dare try me now.” “That’s what I thought too, I have sent some men to stay behind and watch their every move, as long
Brielle’s POV I had spent all weekend preparing my mind for my resumption at Peirxly and that included an ice cream date with Anya and getting some new dresses for my wardrobe. Somehow, the way Huxley had looked at me the other day made me want to look better, to prove that I was doing a lot better than when I had been in that hellhole. A deep sigh and a step were all it took to have the wide glass doors of Pierxly open as the sensor picked me approaching. I sent a nod to the receptionist while a part of me wondered what time she resumed work considering that it was only a little past 7 am. From the email I had gotten this weekend, I was to report to the Human Resource department to meet with my team, thankfully, the sender had been kind enough to mention that they were on the third floor of the building. If by some stroke of luck, I could do without seeing Huxley for the next year as Zora had said, then working here was going to be a good experience. “Good morning Miss Levi
Brielle’s POV I had eventually gotten over my embarrassment and gotten some work done and even as I could smell the bastard next door, I did a good job at ignoring me as I completed the designing of my office. With Pierxly’s logistics, what I had assumed would take me about a week or at most two days to get done had barely taken me four hours as the moment I sent out a list to the James, everything I requested for had arrived as soon as I sent it out. As I stood in the middle of my office… my own office, a part of me looked forward to working here, to showing the world that I could really do something for the first time in my life. But then, there was also that nagging voice that reminded me of the devil that was right next door. I didn’t dare to hope too much. A knock on my door pulled me out of my thoughts as my team members all stepped in. “Damn!” One of the guys cursed as he looked around my office, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “No wonder they made you the team l
Giveon’s POV Even before her call, I had already felt it, with only one city between us, it was hard to not sense her. Vampire instincts has been known to be the best. I was sure that by the time we eventually became one, every of Brielle’s breath would be mine. My Brielle. “If you don’t come soon, perhaps your girl would be taken away by some shifter that has employed her,” the voice on the other end said and I scoffed. “All you had was one chore, Ann. If Brielle’s out there looking for some job that should give her everything i already did, it’s only on you.” While she had sworn her loyalty to me three years ago, I was starting to doubt it strongly now. After all, I only managed to get glimpses of Brielle when I made late night trips to her bedroom window. Or stopped by the cafe she used to work in. But I was scared to face her. To face this taboo bond between us. While I was filled with desperation on my part, I was also scared of what I would find if I confronted her.
Brielle’s POV My first week at Pierxly had gone unbelievably well. I was finding it hard to believe that other than the first day, I had no other run in with Pierxly. More importantly, I was starting to enjoy my work. From finding a balance in the team to us all actually working well together, I was starting to feel like the moon goddess was out here rooting for me already. The best part about my first week had to be the pay! It wasn’t uncommon to get an ahead payment but I was unbelievably surprised because they already paid some money to Laura. How then did they feel the need to pay me again? “If you are going to stand there and be like some lost puppy, heaven knows we would never get some shopping done,” Anya said as she pulled me through the doorway. Since I got my pay, I felt getting some shopping done was a good idea. Okay that’s a lie, I’m doing a shopping because Lucas said I don’t dress like a designer in Pierxly and as much as I would loved to say it didn’t get to
GIVEON’s POV The moment she walked through that door, it felt like my life became complete in a split second. I hadn’t seen her in two weeks, with how tight things had been, there had been no way I could have spent a night just staring at her. Yet, she had gotten even more beautiful, it was almost like her eyes could have drawn me into her world. It felt like nature was humming her name with my mind as the air outside the room whirled around. But just as soon as she opened her mouth, Brielle, my mate that I had spent the last three years waiting and pining for didn’t know me. I stared deep into her eyes, searching for a sign that this was some act that she was doing, that she was just pretending to know me. But after more than hundred years of being alive, there was no way I could read that confusion wrong. She really didn’t remember me. Anya glanced at me briefly and then turned back to look at Brielle. “You really don’t know him?” “I don’t,” Brielle said and then loo
BRIELLE’s POV Certainly, this man in front of me was senile. I mean, how the hell do you walk up to a girl, okay scratch that. How do you walk into a house, sit down like you own the place, threaten me with the secret I had managed to keep for three years here and then just when it didn’t seem like it could get any weirder, You call me your mate. I could bet six months of my rich and fat pay that this was some delusional man. With the looks of some freaking god though. “Are you out of your mind?” I finally managed to ask. Fine he was attractive, but mates wasn’t something to play with. Besides, the moon goddess already gave me a mate and even though he rejected me already, it was impossible that she would give me another. It was common knowledge that it didn’t happen like that. It was a one time pass thing. In fact, in recent times, a lot of people never met their fated mates and had to just end up with someone they picked like the normal relationship dynamics with human
Brielle’s POV I had expected that I would run into the vampire again. But I was certainly not expecting that the next day, as soon as I was done taking a walk to calm Roxy down with the night air, he was here again. This time, he and Anya seemed to be having some sort of conversation as soon as I entered. “You are here. Your friend from the other day came by,” Anya said, sending me a wink. I wondered if she thought there was something going on between the both of us. Although that didn’t matter, the important thing was the bastard here. Considering that I didn’t have the slightest clue of what his name was, I didn’t think he had the right to keep barging in on me. “I don’t remember inviting you,” I said as I shot him a snide glare and considering that Anya was sprawled on the other couch, I had no choice than to sit beside him. “You gave me your address, that, my princess, is the same thing as inviting me,” He said lazily and then without any warning, hung his arm over my sho
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
