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

It’s been a month, a month of living in what feels like a new world. The freedom still came as a shock and most often than not, whenever the Lycans shifted, they still watched their backs.More than half of the arrested ex-alphas had passed away, and the rest of them, including Ketura, were on the brink of death.Everything could categorically be said to be going well, to be good, there was freedom, co-existence, ease, but Devon felt none of that. He wanted to, every time he steps out and sees his people smiling wider than before, he wants to share in it, but the ache in his heart never got lesser.His hands hovered over the door knob and with a deep breath, he twisted and let himself in. As had been his ritual for the past month, he took a seat at the edge of the bed and watched her.He monitored the heaving of her chest, then he grabbed her wrist and counted her pulse quietly. This has been his routine ever since she slumped before she could finish her sentence. Eliza did all she co

The representatives' mouths and that of the pack members hung open as Devon finished telling them the story.“That can’t be true.” One of them whispered, shaking their head adamantly,“I am not going to try and prove anything to you, not with the evidence sitting right in front of you,” He gestured to the alphas, who although were physically present, their minds seemed to be somewhere else. “What I am here to do is to fix everything.”The room immediately grew taut with silence and anticipation. The reps held their breaths as their eyes darted to each other as they tried to guess what it is Devon plans to do. It was unlikely for them to defeat him if he chose to massacre them all to exert revenge for what happened during the war.“No matter how many of you I kill,” he started and they inhaled sharply, “it will not be enough to compensate for what has been done to us, it will never be enough.”“What then…” one of them tried to speak but one look from Devon immediately made him shut his

As he neared the guesthouse, Kaiser began to slow down and the zeal he shared with Devon began to wane. The fear of destroying the shield that has been put in place to protect them suddenly felt like a chain around his limbs.Thoughts and doubts of going and failing began to cloud his judgement. He would put not just himself, but his entire pack and the sacrifices that has been made for years in jeopardy,His run slowly descended into a walk, and he deliberated on taking back his orders and asking everyone to shift back and stay hidden, then he heard the sound of paws hitting the ground in a fierce run and his heart skipped a beat.He could not remember the last time he heard so many paws hitting the ground. Slowly, he turned around and he was hit with the sight of his people running towards him from all directions in their wolf forms, and his breath caught in his throat. He has never seen such a sight before.They were careful not to shift in groups, and even when they did, they neve

Devon and the rest of leadership, including Marcos and Amira sat together, their heads bowed and the exhaustion etched in bones circulated round the room.After Kiara left, Marcos stormed the meeting room with a bunch of warriors that he managed to organize under Ketura’s nose. He had planned it all along, to rescue his brother and his mate no matter what it will take.Luckily, he managed to get Amira and a few others to stop taking the tonic that Ketura was trying to shove down their throats everyday. And that morning, when she least expected it, Marcos knocked her out and had her bound with the help of the hidden witches.Devon was so grateful the second he barged in. After Kiara had left after imprinting that order in his mind, all his attempts to get his legs to move to go after were all futile. It felt like his body had been molded to only obey her command, and the creepy vacant and thoughtless stares of the alphas made things harder.With Marcos’ help, they managed to bundle the

“I fear that if I start asking questions, I will not ask the right ones and you will not give me the right answers,” Kiara started once she and Caelivor were settled in what seems to be his office, “so, I will just make a simple request and hope it gets me what I want.”He smiled softly at her and nodded. “Caelivor, I want you to tell me everything you know about me and the people currently in your courtyard.”Taking a deep breath, Caelivor stared at his hands for a whole minute, then he looked up. “The moon goddess is a very loving and fair god. I have heard tales about the existence of other gods but I think, no, I know the moon goddess is a special one.”“What has that got to do with anything?”“During the war, there was no hope of it stopping anytime soon and with both sides suffering casualties, the moon goddess decided to intervene and that was the first time she allowed herself to be born as one of us. She immersed half of herself into the child in a luna’s womb, and at 18, th

Kiara felt like her heart was being ripped out of her chest and no matter how hard she cried, there seemed to be no improvement on the sadness swallowing her up. It felt like the sadness and troubles of the world rested on her shoulders and was pressing her down to the earth.Unable to keep up with the growing sadness, she felt her vision blur and with all her attempts to keep up, she found herself succumbing to the weight of it and soon enough, she passed out.The next time she opened her eyes, the gaping heavy hole that seemed to grow larger in her heart remained there but this time around, the tears were not forming nor falling and she managed to get off the floor and actually look around the room.It was way bigger than she expected and everything in there was either gold or wood, there was no in-between. The source of lighting was the numerous candles that were lit and positioned at different angles of the room, and the bed that adorned the center of the room was so high and so b

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
