Amanda slowly opened her eyes with a beautiful smile gracing her face, she stretched out her hands to touch Alan but she only felt the warmness of the sheet and a sigh left her lips knowing he just got up. She stood up and stretched lightly as she did, her smile widened even more when she heard him laughing downstairs with their child. She couldn't believe how much the years have passed and how things have changed, little teardrops made way to her face as she remembered how much her life has changed within 5 years. *~ 5 years ago ~**The moment she got to Morgan's law firm, she parked hurriedly and stepped out of the car ready to run to her office but met her standing by the firm's door with a huge file on her hand and beside her stood a worried Alan, who kept darting his eyes around searching for something or rather someone because the moment he set eyes on her, she could see the relief wash through his face.*

Amanda strode into her company with a casual smile on her face, she couldn't remember the last time she was in there, and the shocked look and calculative stares of her employees made her nervous. Her smile never wavered as she confidently walked into her private elevator, the moment the doors closed she took a deep breath to calm her nerves, avoiding people for over a month has clearly done more harm than good. The elevator opened to reveal Oliver standing there in a suit with his tablet and a cup of coffee in his hand, a welcoming smile graced his face the moment he set eyes on Amanda "Welcome back, ma'am" She smiled back at him and nodded, "Thank you, Oliver" she said and took the cup from him, "shall we?" She asked and with a nod from him, they started walking to her office while he briefed her about the things he forgot to add in the email he sent last night. "Thank you for handling this company while I was away, you've done so well." She said gr

Alan sat rigidly on the sofa, his eyes would occasionally dart towards the stairs and each time a sigh would leave his lips when he doesn't see her coming down. He couldn't tell if it was a sigh of relief or nervousness, he doesn't know if he wants her to come down now or wait a little longer and the worst part, he hasn't figured out how to tell her."Calm down Alan, calm down" he muttered to himself and rested his head against the sofa as he continuously took deep breaths, after a while, he managed to relax and calm his fast heartbeat, but before he could fully relax, he heard footsteps approaching and his heartbeat skyrocketed again and he immediately sat up.He gulped nervously as his eyes took in the woman standing before him, she looked stunning even tho she was dressed in a very big oversized hoodie with tights, and her hair was wrapped up in a towel. He dragged his eyes from her legs and with great difficulty rested them on her face that was radiating with a smi

"What the fuck do you both think you are doing here?" Amanda spat out as soon as Andrew and Alice were close enough, she instinctively stood in front of Jonathan to keep them from seeing his coffin."That's not a nice way to welcome your elders!" Andrew said with a stern look on his face and a scoff left Amanda's lips. His features softened a little when he managed to catch a glimpse of Jonathan's coffin despite Amanda's attempt to block his view, but there was no trace of remorse or sadness in his face as he stared at it "I'm here to pay my last respects to my brother" he stated, turning back to Amanda and staring into her eyes.Amanda stared at him in confusion for a while before a low chuckle escaped her lips, "you!" She shouted, shoving her index fingers into his chest "you! You want to pay your last respect to him?" She pointed her fingers back at Jonathan's coffin, her face contorted in pain and anger "the same boy you killed?!" She

COUPLE WEEKS LATERAlan's eyes rested on Amanda as the mass for Jonathan was being carried out, her face was devoid of any emotion but if you look close enough, you could see her clenching and unclenching her fists, she would occasionally blink away the tears or bite her lips to hold back a sob.A deep sigh left Alan's lips and he moved away from where he was standing and went over to her, he softly grasped her hand in his without saying anything. She immediately looked up at him, surprised by the grand gesture because they barely had a proper conversation in the past two weeks.He could tell what the look on her face implied but he discarded it and mouthed "it's going to be okay", tears welled up in her eyes as he said that, but she nodded and tightened her grip on him before turning back to face the coffin and the priest leading the mass.A surge of gratitude washed through Amanda even tho she didn't say it out loud, she spent all week wondering how she

“We are going to head home first,” Devon announced as they both settled in the car, and Kiara had nodded in gratitude. When Kali reminded her of the Salutis temple, she didn’t hesitate to buy the idea. Their quickest option was just to beg Ketura, she could easily reverse the spell there, but there was no proof that she would not do something else,“How did the Salutis temple come to mind? No one has been there in ages.” Devon asked when they were out of Marcos’ pack, and Kiara shrugged.When Ketura had told them to get on their knees and beg, an unusual image of her parents at the Salutis pack flashed in Kiara’s mind. For a moment, she almost sank into confusion as she had no memory of ever going to that temple with her parents. They had never mentioned it to her, but right before she could sink into the pit of her confusion, Kali instantly reminded her that she could get her scent back at that temple.Every werewolf problem could be solved simply by going to the Salutis temple. It w

Kiara’s eyes widened but before she could ask for an explanation, Devon got up and dragged her to the car. He dismissed the driver, helped Kiara into the car and got in as well, then he drove off speedily.For the first few minutes of the ride, Kiara couldn’t even open her mouth to ask about what was going on. She just held her heart and reminded herself to breath as they basically flew past people, cars, trees, and it seemed the more they advanced, the faster he became, and the harder it was to breath.“Slow down,” Kiara finally rasped out when she couldn’t even seem to take a breath anymore.“Are you okay?” Devon asked, slowing down considerably, and that gave Kiara an opportunity to catch her breath.“Why are you speeding so much? And where on earth are we heading to right now?”“To Marcos’ pack. The source of our problem is there.”Silence filled the car for a second, and Kiara processed what he said within that second. “Is it Ketura?”He glanced at her and nodded. “I guess that s

Devon quickly removed Kiara from the clutches of the women, and hid her behind him, “That is enough!” the anger that had soaked his bone reflected in his voice and it boomed off the walls, causing everyone present to fall to their knees.“How dare you?!” He seethed, hands balled into fists, “how dare you raise your hands on your luna?”“She is no luna of mine,” a voice from the crowd said, and Kiara’s heart dropped to her stomach. Her biggest fear has just been confirmed, they all blamed and hated her, validly so. She tried to walk away quietly, knowing that if she stayed any longer and heard what they had to say, she would not be able to take it, however, Devon held onto her before she could take a step.Grabbing her arm softly, he pulled her to his side. “Her authority as Luna is not rested on your acceptance or rejection of her, she is who she is; an authority over all of you, and you have harmed her. And heaven forbid I let any of you go unpunished.”Kiara instantly held his arm,

Once the crowd dispersed, Devon pulled Kiara to himself and placed a chaste kiss on her forehead. He saw her when she walked in, he saw the stressed lines on her face, his wolf felt her wolf’s bitterness and he did not need a soothsayer to tell him that she was probably blaming herself.“This is just a temporary problem, and we are going to figure it out, okay?”Kiara wanted to swallow her thoughts, and tell him that she believed him. She didn’t want to add to his burden, but her mouth seemed to have a mind of its own, because she found herself telling him her mind.“What if it was me? What if you were never meant to mate with me and everything was a glitch? Those kids are nearing death when they are supposed to be healing, it just doesn’t make sense.”Pulling her even closer, Devon found the closest seat and sat down. He placed her on his laps and held her face as he looked into her eyes, “this is no fault of yours. Something is obviously amiss somewhere, and we will figure it out, b

Kiara woke up with a startle, but the fear quickly disappeared when she felt Devon’s hand on her stomach, and unintentionally her lips tugged up in a smile, and her cheeks burned. She knew she had a disturbing dream, but it became quite hard to remember when she turned and saw him sleeping peacefully beside her.She turned to her side as quietly and as sleekly as she could to avoid waking him, and at the same time to get a better look at his face. His features were so soft, the same way they were when he whispered “I love you”, so quietly that she almost didn’t get it. Raising her fingers, she slowly traced his face, in this moment he looked nothing like the powerful and dominant man that took her in all positions just a few hours ago.Her body dampened and she clenched her legs as the memories of last night flooded her mind, it was way too blissful, and she was lowkey scared that she was going to want him every second of the day now.“I can’t pretend to be asleep anymore,” he whisper

Kiara’s heart skipped a beat when a knock came on the door. She smoothed her nightwear and took a very deep breath before she walked over to the door, and pulled it open.Breathing proved hard when she met eyes with Devon, and her mouth ran dry. For the next few seconds, she struggled to get her brain and mouth to work together so she could exchange pleasantries, but knowing the reason he stood before her tonight, smelling and looking so delicious, her heart pounded too erratically for her brain to work.Breathing out a laugh, Devon made his way into the room. When he had gotten the news about her decision earlier, he believed it a lie, even as he took his bath, prepared and walked all the way to her place, he believed it all a lie until he saw her looking all breathless and nervous. The realization that it was true hit him fast and hard like a brakeless speedy truck, and it had come with a bundle of nerves, which he had to cut short by moving. He couldn’t let himself be as nervous a

The creatures stood before the graves of those that they lost during the fight, all dressed in white paying their last respect to them. "It is indeed unfortunate and painful that we lost our loved ones to this fight, but let us not remember them with sad thoughts but by their heroic deed," Ansel said to the creatures who had tears streaming down their eyes "the ritual has been completed, let us all go home and morn them in the comfort of our homes" he concluded and everyone started dispersing, going their separate ways. He stood there looking at the creatures till the cemetery was empty and he then turned towards Elle who gave him a sad smile, "let's go" he said and stretched out his hand which Elle took gratefully as they both walked to the cove where the wolves, the turned vampires, Ruri and Demi were all waiting for them. Elle cleared her throat the moment they got to the cove, drawing their attention to her as she s

Elle stood there glaring at Anthonio while he kept looking at her with a smile plastered on his face "let her go" she said with clenched teeth, making Anthonio's face morph into a scowl."Last I checked, I don't take orders from you," he said in an angry tone making Elle take a few steps back in fear "I should have just killed you a long time ago, you wouldn't have become a problem now and you will probably just be resting with your parents" he stated and Elle's eyes widened."What did you just say?!" She asked in a low and angry tone, her eyes darkening."Ahh, I never told you," he said and smiled at her "I'm not your father and Anna is not your mother. You are a stolen child." Elle whimpered when he said that."Where are my parents?!" She managed to voice out, trying to swallow down the pain in her voice.Anthonio pointed two fingers on his forehead and made a shooting sign "Dead, dead and dead. They were stupid enough to refuse the deal I made t

ONE WEEK LATERElle was sleeping peacefully when screams and stampedes woke her up, she immediately sat up on her bed and started looking around frantically when a heavy knock came on her door.She stood up from the bed, dressed in the shorts and top she wore to sleep and took the wristwatch that Mamock got her and rushed downstairs, manipulating the watch into a sword on her way down."Who is there?" She asked leaning on the door with the sword raised up, ready to swing."Elle it's me Ruri! We are under attack!" Ruri shouted, almost out of breath. Elle immediately opened the door and rushed out."What did you just say?""We are under attack, the realm warriors are upfront trying to keep it under control" Ruri explained as the both of them ran off together."What about the others? Have they been taken to safety?""Mamock is in charge of that, we have to hurry Elle," Ruri said and increased her pace."Is it Anthonio?" Rur

Ansel stood in front of Elle, patting her head softly "Are you ready?" He asked in a low tone and she nodded reluctantly.Today is the day they will be going back to their time frame, she spent the entire night with the others having a slumber party and it was her way of saying goodbye."Let's leave already, I might change my mind if we spend a minute longer here," Elle said, trying to lighten up the mood. Truth be told, she doesn't want to go back, this time frame is a lot more lively and peaceful and she doesn't have to worry about a thing, but then she can't just let everything fade away because of her selfishness.Ansel smiled at her and pulled her into his arms "either way, you will still have to go back. You don't belong to this time after all" he said to her, rubbing her cheek softly."Shut up"He let out a little laugh before he started muttering something making Elle gasp in pain

Anthony stood before the mirror, adjusting his tie till he was okay with it. He looked at himself one more time before taking his phone and briefcase and walked downstairs.Anna stood in the kitchen, looking a lot thinner and paler than before, Anthony placed a quick kiss on her cheek and sat down on a dining chair "Good morning, is the food almost done?" He asked, placing his briefcase beside him."Oh yes, it's done. Give me a minute" she said, bringing out plates from the shelf. She immediately dished out the pasta and placed it before him "here"He looked at the food and gave her a warm smile "You aren't eating?" He asked when he noticed there was no plate in front of her.Anna sighed and shook her head "No, I'm not really hungry"Anthony dropped his fork and grabbed her hand softly "Is this about Elle again?" He asked in a soft voice, making Anna release a deep breath. "Listen, I'll find her and I'll kill her for making you go through this, and

"So let's get started with mind manipulation, I knew from the beginning that this will be the hard part for you," Ansel said to Elle, they were both seated in his office."So you were planning to make a full appearance once I've mastered the two other abilities?" Elle asked with an amused smile."Well, you can say that. You mastered the other two with little to zero help, so my guess is this won't be as hard as I thought it would be" He said, standing up from his chair and walking over to her picking up a book."You already know that everything is run and controlled by energy, am I right?" He asked, raising an eyebrow and Elle nodded in agreement. He smiled and placed the book before her "can you see or feel the energy of this book?"Elle looked away from him and fixed her gaze on the book "I can't see it" she said and placed her hand on the book "but I can feel it" a smile lit up on her face, as she cares
