(Elias)“Who the fuck are you and how did you get in here!?” Raina shouted as she took up a fighting stance. The man chuckled and waved his hand, making my eyes widen as I noticed that Raina was now a statue. “Unfreeze her right this second!” I said, feeling my temper rising. He bowed his head and did what I said, which was better for him. “Now to answer your question, my name is Kyro, I can make people fall in love with me with a snap of my fingers, what you did back there with that hybrid, kissing him? I'm the one who spurred on that moment.” I raised my eyebrow, wondering what he was talking about. He sighed and started to float, as if I was getting on his nerves. “The kiss you shared with Jason or what's his name, I'm the one who controlled you enough for you to do it.” I laughed because I didn't believe him, he stopped floating and landed on his feet right in front of me. “You're just like your father, king Amaros. I'm surprised Aamon didn't give you the full details.” I gav
(Elias) After Raina and I left the treehouse, I decided to check on Lilliana and Samuel. When I got to their room, Samuel told me that Lilliana went on a hunt with some warriors earlier, so she won't be back until later. Looking at Samuel, something came to my mind, so I decided to voice it. “Say Samuel, have you ever looked at Lilliana and me and thought, boy, it's a coincidence that we almost looked alike?” He furrowed his brows for a couple of seconds but started laughing after I said so. “Lilliana said the same thing the day she found you. We both have red hair, and you have her eye color. That's also a reason why she decided to adopt you. She saw herself in you the moment she laid eyes on you.” I smiled, knowing that what I was thinking was true. “She's the best, more of a mother to me than my mother, and you? Let's just say it takes some time to get used to you. After all, you handed me to Ryker that day when it was raining, even when you knew that I wanted to be with Jason
(Elias) “Are you crazy?” Jason asked after I told him what my intentions were. I scowled at him, feeling myself getting angry that he was questioning me. I already made my mind up. There was nothing they could do to stop me. “I'm not going to allow this power to get to me. I need peace in my life, and I already felt like I'm spiraling out of control. I hate that feeling, so the best way to do this is to get rid of my warlock side. I'm not a bad person, Jason. I don't want anyone to think of me as such.” He sighed and shook his head. It's not like I needed anyone's advice, since I already made my mind up about this. “That side of you is just as important as your Alpha side. But then again, what makes you so sure that you're really an alpha?” He asked, still looking at me as if I'm crazy. “Heard from a good source that my mom got dicked down by my real father, who took over my sperm donor's body, just to make it work.” He gave me a disgusted look, which had me laughing. “So, your p
(THREE DAYS LATER)(Ryker) It's been three days since we were searching for Elias. He took off the moment that demon entered his body, and I had no idea where he went. My warriors were exhausted, seeing as we were searching day in and day out. I didn't get any rest. There were too many things on my mind. I just didn't know when to stop and simply relax. 'Forest told me that Elias wanted to quit.' Max said, I stopped walking and frowned a little. 'Quit? What is it that he wanted to quit?' I asked, still unsure as to what he was talking about. 'He hates being a warlock. He's changing Ryker, and not in a good way. The only way to help him is to find him and get Andrea to take back his powers.' I had no idea it was getting to him so much, I knew that he was changing. The way he would snap at everyone or make decisions that weren't good. The Elias that everyone loved was different now. 'We should get Lilliana and Samuel involved, that way, we can have more…' Before I could continue my
(A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER) (Elias's POV)'Give me control now, you bastard!' I shouted, but Dare had already decided that it wasn't going to happen. This is not who I am, regardless of what he might think. I had plans to change my future so that I could be happy once again, but it all went down the drain when Dare showed up. Forest and I have been trying so hard to fight him, but it wasn't the case. Now I'm really questioning my existence. Was I born to go through so many trials and tribulations? Isn't the goddess herself tired of giving me such a headache? I'm tired of having to fight for my freedom, to fight for love. Every so often, I wish that death would take me. I wish that I had died that day when Miles and Damien found me. I wish that I had died when Ryker captured me and placed me in the dungeon, injecting me with wolfsbane. Not only that, but I wish that I had died when he rejected me. But no, I had to go through this pain over and over. To be honest, I didn't know how mu
(RYKER'S POV) Getting Andrea to help us was easy. All it took was killing a rogue that recently became one and giving her the heart. I had no idea why she wanted it, but it's what she demanded, so we had no other choice but to give in to her. I wasn't the one who killed the rogue, though. It was one of my warriors. I had already sworn to myself that I would stop doing that. My hatred for them had passed a long time ago. I was sitting under a tree, sweaty and tired from the walk that we were doing, Andrea and Raina had found a way to create a line that went in Elias's direction, now all we had to do was follow that path, and we will get to him.It seems to me that Andrea knew exactly where he was, I didn't miss the mischievous look on her face as she cackled when we were walking. Acting like we were a fool, there was never a moment where I trusted her. Getting her help before when Elias's soul wandered to Ryland's was only the beginning of my lack of trust for her. Knowing that she
(Ryker) What Andrea said had me working twice as hard into getting Elias back. Max was on the verge of a breakdown, no matter how many times I tried to reach out to him and comfort him. He locked himself away, not allowing me or our parents to even talk to him. I asked Raina to tap into my mind so that she could pull him out of whatever depressive state that he was in. Raina was quick with help me, even though I knew that she still hated my guts to this day. I still remember her warning, even up to now, so I'm trying my best not to get on her bad side. “Ok, I luckily I have done this with Forest before. I tapped into his mind and brought Elias back, so this should be easy.” Raina said while rubbing her hands together. Everyone stood to the side, watching her as she got started. “Close your eyes, I think. I'm going to chant a spell that will be able to get me into your mind.” I did as she said and closed my eyes. I instantly saw Elias's image and calmed down. The smile he gave me ma
(Ryker) Raina was the one who teleported us this time to where Elias might be. I think she did it out of jealousy because her aunt was getting the work done, but who am I to talk? I just wanted to get my baby back so that I could hold him forever and never let him go. I don't know when I became this person, so soft and in love. I was once the person that everyone hated, now look at me? Trying to redeem myself was a lot of work. But, I was willing to do it for my mate. “Hey everyone, listen to this.” Andrea said, we walked over to where a radio was playing in a car and listened. “In other news tonight. Over sixty-five people, including six children, were found dead as hurricane Isaac continues to strengthen. It is now at category 5 and looking to get stronger. Right now, as I speak, more bodies are found. I will give you a report as soon as I can. Remember to stay safe and evacuate any area that is prone to flooding. This is Moira Ebanks, reporting from News On Demand.” I sighed and
