Chapter: Chapter 1755 months have passed since that devastating ordeal and everyone that survived was picking up the pieces of their lives. The realms were safe from the shadow of darkness that had been shrouding them. A lot had been lost, and many people had died. It was a time to heal, rebuild and restore. After the battle against Drakoen, and Mercedes's close brush with death, it was time for a change. They began with making sure that none of Drakoen's dark army remnants were left behind. It was important to hunt down everyone, one of Drakoen's dark army survivors, so that any hope of continuing their master's dark ambition would be destroyed and buried with. It took a lot of time but the mission to eradicate them seemed to have succeeded, and the realms were peaceful again. Back in Vaughnorths, the remaining students mourned the deaths of the fallen and started building what was damaged so that they could restore their academy to its former glory. After spending too much time in Vaughnorths, Alexa d

Chapter: Chapter 174While Felix and Alexa were caught up in their emotions, crying over Mercedes, a soft glow started to emanate from her body. Everyone froze, not sure what was happening. The light grew brighter by the second. Felix was shocked, but he wouldn't let go of Mercedes's hand. He wasn't going to leave her no matter what happened.Alexa could sense it. That light glowing from Mercedes was the energy of the White Wolves left in her. When they found her, she couldn't sense it at all. She thought that she used it all up in the fight.The air began to change again. The light started shine even brighter, blindingly, and it was too much to bear. All of them shielded their eyes from its glow. Felix and Alexa couldn't withstand it either. Felix had his eyes closed, and he felt Mercedes getting pulled away from her. He couldn't see through the light, but Mercedes was getting pulled away from her, and it was causing him to panic. “ No. What the hell is going on?” he groaned, annoyed by the light that

Chapter: Chapter 173Everyone was mourning Mercedes's imminent demise. The air was heavy with the weight of their collective sorrow and grief. Mercedes was certain to die. It seemed that way. They were all starting to think that all hope was lost and nothing could be done. Tears had dried up in Felix's eyes. He could no longer cry anymore. He was in a state of shock. Everything was reeling in his mind yet refusing to accept the thought of having lost his mate. He grew numb to the coldness of Mercedes's body. He just kept holding her tightly in his arms, afraid that he would slip through his fingers like sand. Felix just shut out everything and everyone. Roland whimpered, feeling the bond between them close to snapping. He was done begging Felix to save their mate any way he could. But he knew that the situation was now beyond him. Not his love, care and affection would be enough to bring her back to life. Alexa was lost for words. There was nothing she could say to comfort Felix. She couldn't bring hers

Chapter: Chapter 172Mercedes was astonished by what Celine told her about their relationship. She was curious about their so-called friendship. It was such a shame that she had no memories of it. “ Let me tell you the truth before our time together is up,” Celine said to her. Mercedes was all ears. She was eager to know the truth as well. Only that was left to complete the puzzle of the past and there would be nothing left to uncover. “ We met under similar circumstances before. I might say, even worse. Unlike now, you were on the verge of death, certain to die, and I made it my mission to help you soothe your resentment so you could go peacefully. I made a promise to you back then only now I got to fulfill it.”“ I guess it was after my fight with Drakoen. I couldn't kill him then. I could only seal him. I was not strong enough to kill him,” Mercedes said, her voice still filled with regret of the past. “ Yes. It was because you couldn't kill him back then that led to this turn of events. It was clea

Chapter: Chapter 171“ Let it all out dear, Celine urged with a soothing tone to her voice. “It's been a tough journey with many obstacles. You have remained strong until the end. Now it's time for you to finally live your life for yourself.”Mercedes couldn't stop crying. Her eyes kept welling up with more tears. She felt all her pain wash away with her tears. How she longed for such a day to come, and it was finally here. She was free and had a future to look forward to. Celine placed her hand on top of Mercedes' head and bestowed the blessing of the White Wolves. Her touch sent a warm and gentle energy flowing through her. Celine’s eyes turned light blue as if the moon was shining through her. On her forehead, a crescent moon appeared on her forehead that was glowing. She chanted some words in a language Mercedes couldn't understand. When she said those words, Mercedes felt something stir inside of her, in a good way. It felt like she was at peace and nothing was wrong with her anymore. A feeling of

Chapter: Chapter 170So, how did this happen? I mean, how did I get here?" Mercedes asked, curious to know. Celene gently smiled at her. " That's simple. This is my soul chamber. Since your soul chamber is destroyed, I summoned you to my own soul chamber so we could sit and have this conversation."Soul chamber? What is that? Mercedes thought to herself. Celene was amused by her. She could see her brows almost knit together while thinking about something. She could have just asked her if she wanted to know something. But that clearly was not Joe she was. She would get sucked into her head, asking herself a question she had no answer to." A soul chamber is a space where your soul resides in your form. Like I said, your soul has shattered and that is why I couldn't go into it."That's when Mercedes realized that she had missed the important part of the information that was relayed to her. Her soul has shattered? What does that mean? Is she still going to die?" " Normally, that would be the case. One will

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 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

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 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. I went to her place but she wasn't there. I went everywhere I thought she would be but I could find her and no one had seen or heard from her for a while.

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

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.
