Bellona PovIt has been 6 days since the death of Daniel. After Lillian was done with him, the warriors burnt his body and I think everyone respects Lillian better now. Well, that is the thing about us. To earn respect, you have to prove it and Lillian has proven herself of that respect. I did not tell Silver about his last words because I feel it’s irrelevant. He is already dead, so it’s better everyone move on from the betrayal and I think we all did because nobody is talking about him again. I stand in front of the mirror, looking at myself. The time is 4 ‘0 clock in the evening and we are about to move because we plan on attacking them in the night. Am I happy about this attack? Yes, I am. And why am I happy? Because in a few hours time I am going to kill a certain king and I don’t care how it will affect our kingdoms, he bit more than he can chew so he should expect the consequences.“We are waiting for you,” Silver voice cut me out of my thoughts. “Can you help me with this am
Trigger Warning almost at the end of the chapter!Third Person Pov“Missed me?” he asked, the familiar smirk still on his face. Bellona could not believe her eyes, no she refused to believe what she was seeing. I must be dreaming, she thought, pinching herself hard, hard enough to sting her to the bone, but she was not waking up from the dream. She closed her eyes, hoping they were not playing tricks on her, but when she opened it, he was still standing in front of her.“Asher,” she whispered, her voice filled with shock. The last time she saw him was in the cell and the next thing she heard of him was he was dead. Was he alive all this while? But she noticed another thing. He has changed, his hair is darker and longer. His ears are longer and sharp, he is taller and muscular. What shocked her was the giant black wings behind him. Instead of hands, he had claws and two long and fat horns sitting by the two angles of his head. His aura is also dark, like death, and when she smelled him,
Third Person PovIt’s been a few hours since the war happened in the vampire kingdom and they are yet to be back. The time should be around 6 in the morning. Silver and the pups had freshened up, and Lillian cooked for them. They are waiting for Octavia to come back but Silver is itching to tell her about Asher but he can’t because she has to see him herself. She asked of Zira but he told her she was with Axel. He wondered what her reaction would be to Asher, but Silver knew it wouldn’t be good. “Why are you acting weird?” Lillian asked for the 100th time, looking at Silver puzzled. She noticed her brother has been pacing away quite a lot and also stealing glances at her.“I am not,” he replied. “Why are you looking at me weird, then? Is Zira okay?” she asked, looking at him. Silver shook his head, and Lillian cursed herself. She should have just followed them to the war, but Octavia didn’t allow her. She didn’t even allow her near the conference room when they were discussing the w
Third Person PovThe breeze blows gently against the high walls of the werewolf kingdom, the soft rain beating down the earth gently. It was a full moon tonight and everyone was in their homes, cuddled up with their mates and families. The night has been a long night for the people staying close to the palace as their queen has gone into labor since early morning. Everyone is worried and anxious as the queen cries of labor bounced off the palace walls. Werewolves’ births don’t usually take this long, but she has been in labor for more than 12 hours and, as each hour goes by, her screams are becoming more painful and filled with agony. Asher, Lillian and the pups are outside of the ward, and they are all pacing nervously. She has been in labor since and none of the child has come out, when the pain became unbearable for her Misha appeared. It’s like she just knew her struggles and she has been here since, helping her with the childbirth.“Why is it taking so long?” Bellona breathes
Five Years LaterBellona Pov“Hayden!” I yelled, running around the house. I heard soft footsteps running around the dinning.“We do not have time for this. The ball is in a few hours!” I yelled, running around the dinning. I saw Hunter running to the hallway, but before he could move, I froze him. Then I turned around, and I saw Hayden and I also froze him. I breathed out in relief, walking to Hayden and Silver came inside with Dean. “They are not dressed yet?” he asked, shocked. He and Dean left us like 2 hours ago to make sure things were okay in the ballroom. He thought when he came back they would be dressed, but those two are the most energetic pups ever. Archie was not even that troublesome, but these two always make sure to keep me on my toes.“They have been running around since,” I said, carrying Hayden.“I don’t want to celebrate my birthday,” he whined.“Well, you have to. That is why you are a prince,” I said.“No birthdays,” he said, trying to sneak out of my arms.“Hayd
I could see two little girls playing. They shouldn’t be older than 4. “Tag, you’re it!” One of the girls yelled, running. Her friend giggled, running after her. It was a fun day and the girls were still playing until they heard a loud horn, and the girls stopped playing. They know what that means. “Octavia rogues, let’s go to the basement!” The other girl, Samantha, shouted, dragging her friend with her tiny hands. Octavia quickly listened to her friend and started running. The two girls ran. They had to get to the basement fast; if not, something bad might happen to them. A member of their pack who had been looking for them earlier spotted them. “Octavia! Samantha! Run faster! Quickly get into the basement!” The middle-aged man shouted. While the girls were still running, a hand abruptly seized Samantha. “Arg!!! Let me go!” Samantha screamed, kicking her little legs and arms. Octavia turned back. Her best friend was not with her. “Samantha!” she screamed, panicking and worri
14 years later Octavia Pov “Wake up bitch” a voice said, followed by cold icy water on my body. I woke up startled. I looked at who poured me water. It was Samantha. I quickly stood up. “M.mo..morning Luna,” I said, bowing shakily. I don’t want to upset her. “Take your morning to yourself, dirty rag. My clothes need washing. I want you to wash them all with your hands. The washing machine spoils my clothes, and I want them ironed and folded. Do you understand?” She asked, glaring at me. I flinch and shakily nod my head. “Answer me when I talk to you, bitch!” she said, then she dragged my hair and slammed my head on the wall. Then, she kicked me in the ribs and threw me to the concrete floor. “O..o.ka..okay lu..na” I stammered out with tears burning my eyes. You can’t cry out, Octavia; she is going to punish you more. I thought, biting my lips in pain. “Better,” she said and walked past me while deliberately matching my hand with her 6-inch heels. I lay on the floor, cryin
Dylan POV Octavia, my mate that I rejected. Did I feel pity for her? No. Did I feel terrible about taking her best friend as my mate? No. Do I feel guilty about emotionally abusing her and letting pack members treat her like trash? Yes, yes, I do. I had a crush on her when we were younger. She was such an adorable little girl. I remember wishing she would be my mate and the moon goddess granted my wish. Then all the pack members hated her, and all my friends started insulting her. I pitied her at first, but then I started having more fun taunting her. I never raised my hands on her, but I commanded people to. When she didn’t shift, I made fun of her every chance I got. She never said a word. She never made a sound when anybody hit her. She endured it all. Samantha doesn’t know, but anytime Samantha hits her, and she leaves. Octavia looks at Samantha longingly. That is the only person she cares about. As her mate, when I taunt her, she just looks at the ground. She makes no sound, a
