Chapter: Chapter 106 Felix stood by the window of Horace's room while carrying him in his arms. The weather was bad. For a few days the weather remained the same. Dark and gloomy and the sun was shadowed by the dark clouds. Felix felt the tension in the air. He knew what it meant. Soon there would be chaos. He was already making the necessary preparations to make sure that his pack members and his son were safe and out of harms way. So for the time being he wanted to spend some time with Horace until he had to leave. Horace was now better. He wasn't crying or being fussy. He was calm and would sped him time observing everything around him. That gave Felix a peace of mind. He couldn't say that he was ready for what was to come. He was afraid even though he was an Alpha bug he couldn't fall apart. If he fell apart then his warriors morale would fall apart as well. He had to lead them to protect the pack and their territory so whatever doubts and fears he had, he would have to toss them out of the window a

Chapter: Chapter 105 As days went by, everyone started to feel the change in the atmosphere. The heavily dark cloud looming in the sky. It was a clear sign that chaos was brewing. Everyone knew that the time of war was upon them. They prepared the best they knew how in order to protect their loved ones. It was going to be a tough time for them all. There was no way to avoid this war. Drakoen was not going to let go of his ambitions of becoming the supreme ruler of the realms. He rallied thousands of his troops and stood before them wielding a majestic and beckoning aura. The moment he has been waiting for had arrived. He waited for so many years to here. With a thousand years delay, he thought that he would have to start from the beginning and bring together people willing to follow and serve him but surprisingly, he already had warriors waiting for him. He was just a myth for many years but some believed that he would come back to finish his goal. Fanatic believers of the dark mage Drakoen were already

Chapter: Chapter 104" We made a mistake. A grave mistake," Mercedes said with no expression on her face. Mercedes had called everyone into her room. She didn't sleep. She couldn't sleep at all because she was thinking. Ever since they handed him the bloody cloth, they have been she has been thinking about why he needed her blood. No matter how much she thought about it the only conclusion she could draw was that he was injured. While thinking about that, he memory from the past invaded her mind. In that memory, she saw herself fighting to seal Drakoen. She could remember everything. Drakoen was powerful and she barely could contain him. His dark magic was too powerful and her body was overwhelmed by the power everyone entrusted to her to finish him. She was exhausted but she hung in there. The seal was talking time to complete and she couldn't let go until she was successful. As soon as she thought about giving up, she was reminded of the people there died and gave up their lives before her eyes. The p

Chapter: Chapter 103Drakoen was laying in the bed in his room. He woke up and sat up, surprised that he was still alive. All the pain he felt earlier was all gone. He wasn't feeling any pain and he could move again. However he felt a sharp pain in his head. He grabbed his head and whimpered in pain. It seems he was not out of the woods completely. He remembered what happened last night. He was on the verge of death but he was saved. It was a close call. In the end, the cloaked man figured out a what he had to do. He used magic to pull out the blood from the cloth and returned it into its liquid state. Once it was done, he helped his master drink it. It was just a gamble he was making. He thought of it like a vampire situation. His master needed blood to survive, that is what he thought. But after helping him drink the blood, Drakoen fell unconscious. For a moment, he thought it was over but he checked him pulse and lucky enough, he still had it. He was alive. The cloaked man spent the whole night tryin

Chapter: Chapter 102Mercedes couldn't stop thinking about what Isadora had told them. Drakoen was injured or something because he needed her blood. What other purpose could he need her blood for if it wasn't for healing? But how did that happen? That is what she couldn't figure out. As they planned, she and Yuna sparred and she hurt Mercedes the arms. Yuna used a cloth to soak up the blood before the would healed it self. Since the cut was deep, it didn't heal right away. The plan was a success. As orders, Yuna took the cloth back to Isadora and that would be her holding her up her end of the deal. When the time came, she would deliver. For now, everything was going according to plan. It was quite a show they put on. If the cloaked man was watching, he would surely be convinced about Isadora's loyalty. Yuna felt bad for purposefully attacking Mercedes but she understood that she had to do it. The next day, the cloaked man back to check if Isadora was successful on her mission. He was in for a surpr

Chapter: Chapter 101Isadora knew that the information she had wasn't something she could talk about through a note as she had been doing with Alexa. She needed to meet Alexa and Mercedes in person. So she made the necessary arrangements for that. She couldn't go where they were or call them to her house. She sent a message through Yuna about where to meet, away from prying eyes. She teleported to the location. Everyone would think that she was in her office. She went to the underground dungeons for prisoners they was now just an abondened area. Everyone forgot about that place and it was unlikely that anyone would come down there. It had a heavier protective barrier because the prisoners once held in it were powerful and strong. A stronger barrier was needed to contain them. No matter how powerful the cloaked man was, he could not get through that barrier. On the time agreed on, Alexa and Mercedes made it to the dungeon. Isadora was already waiting for them. His eyes lingered on Alexa. Seeing her was

Chapter: Chapter 128Brielle's POV5 years later"Yay! Mommy I did it, I did it!" River jumped up and down in joy after scoring a goal. Blake ran towards him and picked him up and placed him on his shoulder and spun him around." Good shot my boy! You are a super star!" Blake said to river.Mia got on her feet as well. She pulled me and said, " Mommy, I want to kick the ball too. I can do it too."I smiled at her knowing where this was going. Typical little Mia. Ever since she was born, she seemed to be on her own path. She didn't want to be her brother's little sister. She wanted to be older and better than him. Her competitiveness was cute but a little concerning at time.I remember one time she and River were climbing a tree in the garden. They were competing on who could go higher than the other. Of course River was going to win. She did something surprising. She pulled River's leg and he lost his balance and fell off the tree, breaking his arm.I was so shocked that day I didn't know what to do. She

Chapter: Chapter 1275 months laterBrielle's POVI didn't know that pregnancy would be such a pain. Mood swings, swollen feet, cravings, back pain, you name it. I never thought one of those pregnant ladies who got emotional over every little thing or get weird cravings but guess what, I am. The other day, I wanted a raw mango. Later it was mint chocolate. I hate mint. It tastes like fucking toothpaste but now that I craved it, I suddenly couldn't get enough of it.My feet got swollen a lot and Blake loved giving me a massage. When I cried and cursed him out for getting pregnant, he never lost his patience with me. Instead, he gathered me in his arms as best as he could and would let me chew him out but in the end, he would whisper sweet nothings into my ear, telling how beautiful I am and how lucky he was to have me. That made me feel a lot better. The garden was my favourite place these days. Just sitting on a rocking chair under the tree watching other little kids running around carefree made my heart

Chapter: Chapter 126Blake's POVIt's been an hour since I came down as my mother requested. I was sitting amongst everyone but my mind was back with Brielle. Each moment spent away from her, I he'd back from running back to her. I was so lost, everything happening in front of me was a blur. I couldn't be there anymore. I was too restless and it wasn't helping. VI excused myself and made my way upstairs. Opening the door to my room I thought I would find Brielle still laying on the bed but she was no where. I went inside in alarm. Where is she? I looked around the room wandering if she had finally regained consciousness. If she did, where is she? Where did she go without anyone noticing? In what condition is she in?I was about to go search for outside but I heard water running in bathroom. I looked in the direction of the bathroom. She must be in there. I went there and went inside. She had her back facing me. I felt all kinds of emotions flowing through me as I thought my eyes were deceiving me. Not un

Chapter: Chapter 125Brielle's POV" Relax. I'm not here for that."No soul? Then what? What would a demon be doing here if not to come and collect what he is owed? That is not really what concerns me at the moment. I want to survive. I can't leave yet." What do you want. Tell me!" I acted tough. I can't show that I am scared." Must you always think the worst of me? I came all the way here to help you," he said to me sounding a little offended.I couldn't make out whether he was serious or just pulling my leg for fun. Right now, I am desperate and I am afraid that what ever dispicable schemes that Kael came with, I might just fall for. But at this point, what could be worse than promising him my soul?I decided to hear him out. It's not like I have any other choice anyway." Fine. I'll listen to what you have to say. I warn you that I am not in a tolerant mood so this better be worth it."He snickered." I might be a demon from he but I'm not as bad as you think. No matter. We will have all the time in

Chapter: Chapter 1242 weeks laterBlake's POVI was sitting beside Brielle as she slept peacefully. It's been a very rough fortnight. Ever since that night, everything has been bleak. As the days go by without any change from her I get scared. The baby is fine but Brielle won't wake up. I am afraid that she might stay in such a state for a long time. What of our child. She might not get to see the baby be born. I was at a dead end in what to do. I blame myself. I should have tried with my all to stop her from performing that darned ceremony. It almost cost her life.For all those days, I refused to leave her side. Anything could happen and I don't want to be away. I stayed in the room all day and had my meals sent here. I made sure that it doesn't get suffocating. I opened the windows during the day and let fresh air come in during the day, I handle everything she needed and I wasn't comfortable with letting other people do it.I always made sure to talk to her hoping that she can hear me and hang on to

Now that we have acquired the hell fire, it was time I do what I was meant to do so we can finally part ways with Julian and Xavier." Deceiving us was wrong, Kyra but I'll consider that you ultimately helped us in the end. Let us complete the final step and then all of us will then go our sepernt ways."" Thank you for understanding. I will find a way in the future to repay you."We went to another room with Julian and Xavier with us.I had the flame with me and it's still surreal that I went through such lengths to get it. I wasn't going to complain. My soul doesn't matter if it means that I get to keep my family safe and ensures that we do not suffer the same tragedy all of over again. No matter how had I tried, I couldn't bring myself to have faith in their word. It was my mistake back then. This is just Rte price to fix it." Alright. What do I need to do to get get this ov

Chapter: Chapter 13Benedicta's POV I could not believe that I caught the attention of my best friend's brother. What an awkward position to be in. He kept looking at me the whole time he could set his sight on me. I thought if I avert my eyes he would just end up giving up. I learned that rich men like him don't like girls who play hard to get. So planned to act exactly that way but to no avail. It went downhill. I started to feel uncomfortable and embarrassed because for God's sake, he is Alexis's brother and I was not interested in all of him. I mean yes he is drop-dead gorgeous, and every girl's fantasy evidently by the not-so-discreet stares from the ladies. He is not your average guy at all. I am starting to regret my acceptance to come to this party. I'm simply I too admit that he affected me in more ways than one but those are feelings I can not act on. And it's because my tight-knit relationship with his sister and his sudden interest in me does not make it easy at all. Romantic relationshi

Chapter: Chapter 12Theron's POV After the encounter with my sister, Aaron, and her friend, Benedicta I went away to prepare for my speech. I am prepared but just to do last-minute touch-ups. Why do I even bother because I will end up improvising when the words float in my mind. Now I think it will be a little difficult since my mind cannot falter from a certain beauty. I hope I don't lose my words when I see her. " Sir, here is the speech you asked me to read," Melanie told me handing me the piece of paper with lengthy words. Suddenly I found myself not interested in all this. For the first time, I wanted to run from here and go to Benedicta. I wanted to get to know her. Why is this happening to me? I can't understand a thing as this has never happened that I got so interested in a girl. " Sir sir..." I heard the faint voice of Melanie. " Sir!" It was loud enough to pull me out of the daze I was in. " Yes?" " Are you ready sir? We are about to begin," she informed me and I looked at the paper and bac

Chapter: Chapter 11Mercy's POV Alexis and I were already ready. I was nervous about everything but I must say I love the way I look. The complete look was magnificent. I never thought I would look this way ever. I looked like one of those cover girls in the magazines. My hair was tied into a messy bun with some strands loosely hanging. The dress perfectly fit my body and I wore T-strap black pumps on my feet. The jewelry I had on was pearl teardrop earrings and a gold pendant necklace. Nice and simple, not something flashy." You like it huh?" Alexis asked behind me. I was standing in front of the mirror in her room. I smiled. " Yes, I do." I ran my hands on the fabric of the dress in admiration. I feel beautiful for once in my life. She came to me and placed her hands on my shoulders. " Well, the dress is yours and you can put it on anytime. I can even buy you," suggested and I shook my head in denial. " No Alexis. Don't even think about it. You have done more than enough for me. And this dress will j

Chapter: Chapter 10Theron's POV The day of the event was finally here. This is the day I officially put Twilight on the map. Another success to celebrate. Many of my past lovers have been calling nonstop to accompany me to the event but I turned them all down. I don't want any drama tonight so I decided to just go alone. " Man, are you seriously going alone to the party?" Aaron asked in disbelief. I rolled my eyes at him for the millionth time. He has been in my office all morning pestering me about Alexis. As always he wants to make me the middle man in their issues. " Yes, Aaron. I don't see anything wrong with it," I stated shrugging my arms and leaning back on my chair. " Alright fine but can you tell me who is coming with Alexis? Who is her date?" He was anxious and on the urge of his seat. " I don't know Aaron. Why don't you ask her yourself?" " Come on man. You know how she despises me and she won't pick up any of my calls. She even threatened that If we were to come to her apartment she get a

Chapter: Chapter 9 Benedicta's POV The hotel was buzzing with the final preparations for the opening ball. Well, it has been open for a while but the ball is a formal opening and exposure event to attract more guests. But I can confidently say that this hotel does not need exposure because guests keep piling up and the hotel rooms are fully booked. All I can say is that the decor is exquisite and breathtaking. I have never seen such beautiful grandeur before and I know the event will be a great success. It has to be with all the effort put into it. I almost envy these rich folk. Work was too much today so I decided to go back home as soon as knocked off. Deep down I was hoping to see that man. I know that I should not be but I could not help it at all. I don't know how to explain it all but it is what it is. I got home and I threw myself straight on the couch to take a nap. Alexis is going to come home late because she is going to a gallery event. Times like these can get lonely. I hardly ever see her

Chapter: Chapter 8 Theron's POV " Are the arrangements for the ball going as planned?" I asked my personal assistant who is in charge of overseeing the matter. " Yes sir. Everything is almost ready. There is nothing to worry about," she affirmed. I nodded my head in satisfaction. I like it when things go as planned. I don't like any imperfections in my work because it sends the wrong message. The ball is a function that I organize for the successful opening of each of my chains of hotels around the world. Although I can't be everywhere so have trusted people assigned to manage my affairs. Ever since my father died and the responsibilities of the business fell upon me I have always strived to grow the business to new heights. My father's legacy and my own. My thoughts were interrupted by a screechy annoying voice. " Hello, my love!" I snapped my eyes to the culprit. I swear to God she never gets a hint. But I also have my mother to blame for her actions. She has been encouraging Sarah to pursue me so t

Chapter: Chapter 11Iris POV I was lying on my bed staring at the ceiling with a stupid smile on face that for the love of me, I couldn't get rid off. I couldn't stop thinking about last night. It was amazing. More than I thought it would be. I was glad that I didn't up and leave. Julian and I, we had a connection last night. At least, that is what I think it was. I afraid that I might be getting ahead of myself. I have only known him for a few hours but somehow it felt like I've know him for a while. I can't explain it. We talked and got to know each other. I opened up to him and told him a bit about myself. I would like to think that he was honestly open to me himself. Anyway, we just had a great time talking and laughing over a bottle of wine and it felt natural. Like we had done that a thousand times before. Unfortunately we couldn't ignore the big elephant in the room. Having to rush over to the altar to tie the knot over a marriage of convinience. It would have been better if fate had brought

Chapter: Chapter 10Iris's POV From the moment my eyes met him, I felt I was zapped by lightning. I don't understand why. I've never felt like this before. It's strange. I saw his picture but it did him no justice. He looked hotter in person. Wait. What the hell am I thinking? That's not how I should be thinking. I can't fall for him at all. I ain't even know him, let alone that, falling in love is not part 0f the plan. Iris, get a grip on yourself. His voice sounded like music to my ears. He has the most deep velvety voice I had ever had in a man. I might sound like I am exaggerating but I guess it would be better to hear it yourself. Never mind falling for him. I'm totally gushing for him. I started to feel hot in my lower region making me cross my legs tightly. What the hell is this man doing to me. Damn it. I tried to act as normal as possible. Sure, this Julian guy is attractive and his voice sounds like that of a God but that's about it. I noticed that both eyes kept stealing glances at one an

Chapter: Chapter 9Meghan's POV I felt like the happiest woman on earth right now. I was in bed lying on the chest of the man I love. After a night of wild and passionate sex, I was feeling satiated and I am sure he was too. He was sleeping and lightly snoring. I don't know what got to him but he wanted to sleep with me on his bed this time. He usually took me anywhere in the house but never in his room or on the bed. But the last few days, he has been acting different or should I say loving and affectionate. Not that I was complaining. In fact, I loved every minute of his attention. I had no time to think about Julian and his problems. It felt like I was in another dimension. Kaden is absolutely the man of my dreams. Since the moment I met him, I always knew that he was the one. I was always willing to do anything for him and that is how we got here. Call me crazy but I would kill or die for him. I know. It really sounds crazy how deep I have fallen for this man. It's like he is the Joker and I, his

After that day, she sent me a text telling me to give her space and time to think about things. I was scared that she would break up with me. I tried to call her so we could talk this out and I could explain things to her again if she was not assured but I stopped myself. I decided to respect her and give her the time and space she needed. I was going to push her into anything even though I didn't want her to leave me. It took every ounce in my body to make that decision. That day she didn't tell me how long she would need and I just but when a week went by, I was starting to get worried. I tried calling her several times but she wouldn't pick up her phone.

It was hard and sad and I had to pull my sobbing mother out of the house. She unfortunately cried her eyes out all the way to the ancestral mansion. And when we got there she refused to go inside for over an hour before it started pouring. Then she had no choice but to face her fears and come inside. I don't mean to make fun of my mother but she was hilarious. My mother was really spooked out. She would jump and shriek at any sound made in the house. I was just grateful that we had cleaners come clean the place or else it would have been a job that neither of us was up for. A few days after, my father was discharged and we brought him back to the mansion. When he got here, he got emotional. He started rambling about how he failed his father and how was sorry he had to come back home as a failure. I couldn't help but feel emotional too

My father got heart surgery and it was the most nail-biting day of my life. I was worried about him. Even though the doctor had assured me that the procedure would be done quickly and it was not risky, I couldn't help but worry. You never know when things can go wrong. After waiting, my father's surgery went well and he was moved back into his ward. All that was left was for him to recover and get a clean bill of health. The worst was over but this we're far from over. We received notice that everything has been repossessed and we will need to move out of our house. It was a sad moment once again. It's not like it was a surprise but it was just so sad to be losing the home we had been living in for years. So now my mother and I were back at the house trying to pack up our things and move out.
