ODESSA'S POV"Send me back."Selene stared at me for a long moment, her expression unreadable the way it always was when she already knew what was coming but wanted me to arrive there on my own. "You said it yourself, Odessa. It is best if he is here with you.""I know what I said." I watched Kaiden below, watched him tear through another body like it was nothing, his eyes black and empty and nothing like the man who had pressed his forehead to mine hours ago. "But I also know that he will spend eternity hating himself for what he is doing right now. I cannot let him carry that.""So you will kill him.""I will stop him." There was a difference, even if the outcome was the same. "And then he comes to me. And it is over."Selene was quiet for a beat. Then, "You understand that I cannot pull you back a second time.""I know.""And the child—""Selene." My voice broke on her name, just slightly, and I pressed my hand flat against my stomach where the onyx stone still sat warm against my

ODESSA'S POVThe world below me was burning.Not literally, at least not yet but every crash, every howl, every body that hit the ground felt like fire eating through my chest. Watching Kaiden like that, watching what was left of him after I died, was the worst thing I had ever seen. Worse than the cliff. Worse than the house arrest. Worse than Victor's hands on me.Kaiden was gone, and what stood in his place was everything the world feared."Send me back." I turned to Selene, and my voice came out steadier than I expected. "I am not asking you. Send me back."Selene watched me with that quiet, ancient look of hers the kind that saw through everything and still managed to say nothing. "You know what sending you back means.""Yes." I did not flinch. "I kill him, and then he comes home to me here."The word home caught in my throat a little. I did not let it show.Selene was quiet for a long moment. Below us, I heard Elixir's wolf slam into the earth again, and the sound twisted somet

The world around them went silent. Everyone, even Urelycus who was lost in his own grief seconds ago couldn't help but watch the incident that just took place in the middle of the field. The ice that had struck itself into the King’s chest melted away, leaving only a red patch on his dark robe. “O—Odessa,” The King called out, his voice breaking as he stared at his mate in his arms, bleeding from the hole in her chest, blood spluttering from her lips. Her gaze locked on his, the fear, the pain, the sadness, the love and the regret, Kaiden could see it all in her eyes. He looked down to the hole in her chest, where his hands laid, trying to stop the bleeding. “Odessa, Odessa, please….Help! Someone help me please!” King Kaiden yelled out in pain as his vision blurred with tears, looking down at his pregnant mate. Odessa wanted to comfort him, comfort them both as she could see the constant switch between gold and red until both appeared, one eye gold and the other red. “No, no, no

AUTHOR'S POV"Let her go." Kaiden growled at Lariel as he watched his mate being suspended in the air by the latter's grip on her neck. Her legs thrashed around as she fought for her life."Lariel! Stop! She's pregnant for God's sake." Urelycus yelled at his son, his cautious gaze drifting to Kaiden."It's not often that anyone gets their hands on the Lycan king's weakness; why should I let go of such a rare chance?" Lariel asked, his head tilted to the side with a creepy smile on his face."Fine, fine, just ease your grip around her neck. She's the reason the Lycan king hasn't torn you apart yet." Urelycus tried to reason with his son, and he could see the moment of contemplation in Lariel's eyes as his son reasoned with what he said. Lariel's grip slowly loosened, and Odessa quickly took in a much-needed breath; her gaze went straight to her mate's, who was rooted to a spot, brewing with anger as he stared back at her helplessly."I can't believe that you would be so weak for someon

AUTHOR’S POV“What the hell was that?” Kaiden asked as the scene disappeared from sight. “That is what will happen in the next hour if we don't hurry up!” Urelycus responded and the witch Matriarch walked to the center, stretching her hand out as she chanted a spell, little spark appeared in the air, before small tiny holes began to appear and grow bigger as her chant increased. She didn't stop until each hole was the same size as a fully grown human.There were seven holes in total, each one in the eight realms of the world, showing the scene of the hall where the Kings and Queens of those teams were seated. One in Dokrado, the land of the dragons,One in Cornelia, the land of the PhoenixOne in Petrakia, the land of the BasiliskOne in Delphinea, the land of Charybdis MastersOne in Elegia, the land of the BansheesOne in Salem-Zul, the land of the FaeAnd the last in Muhindr, the land of the fairy. “By the works of Zeus, is that a portal?” King Aetherius asked as he moved closer

AUTHOR’S POV“And now, I'm going to take what really belongs to me!” Eira chuckled, and Odessa glared at her angrily. “What belongs to you? Nothing ever belonged to you, Eira. You stole everything from me just like your mom tried to do to my parents. Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree then—” Her head was whacked to the side by a forceful blow from Eira. “All is fair in love and war, Odessa.” And right in her presence, Eira flipped open a small vial and poured the entire contents into her mouth. Odessa arched as Eira’s eyes turned to an ugly mix of purple and green. The latter smiles creepily before standing on her feet and walking off. Odessa curled into herself as she suddenly felt exposed to the people wearing black cloaks on their bodies; she watched as they drew different symbols on the floor and brought in weird ornaments and objects that creeped the hell out of her. Odessa quickly bowed, covering her eyes and ears and falling asleep as the drug in her system hadn

Celine's povAs I stood at the door waiting for Rowan, at first it was quiet. Kade stood close to the window, he didn't say anything, neither did he move, he just kept on staring blankly.I didn't dare to take a step or say any word to him because I knew that moment, he was battling with his demon.But the next second, he let out a loud growl and as he did, he turned his attention to me. My eyes locked with his, his eyes had turned red, they were not his anymore."Kade……." I gasped as it felt like it was a demon that was staring directly at me, his eyes were red and his teeth gritted and bared."Please don't come close" I begged and regretted saying it because as soon as I did, he started to walk towards me and after just a few steps, he came to an abrupt halt.I quickly slammed myself hard against the door, trying to fathom why he had suddenly stopped, but just when I thought that I was out of the woods, his bones began to crack.Every bone in his body, I could hear the sound, they a

Author's povThe hall had become silent as they watched Rowan walk towards the stage, carrying himself with so much grace as his Alpha.Everyone was curious so they stood watching him and as he came to a halt, he finally turned to stare at them."Good day everyone, the competition has officially ended which means that the hunting game would commence tomorrow…..""We are all aware of that. Why are you telling us that?" George cut him off before he was done speaking."It is formalities so I am supposed to do that""And Alpha Kade?" Alpha Manuel asked. During his own competition, he had fortified the moment he saw that his wolf had become weak, yet he hoped that someone else would take the title away from him, and seeing that it did not happen, it didn't sit well with him."Alpha Kade was poisoned during the competition""Poisoned! Are you suddenly making an accusation because he knows fully well that he has committed a crime and he is trying to use that to cover it up?"Another Alpha sh

Author's povAlpha George sat there and watched everything unfold. He had been certain, so certain that everything would go well, which was why he had taken extra measures to go very far, made sure he got the most lethal poison, one he was certain there was no cure for.Yet, Kade had won. How it happened was what he couldn't fathom. He sat next to his son's bed who was barely unconscious alongside Alpha Aiden and Jessica."Doctor how is he?" George asked but deep down within him, he wasn't sure if he wanted his son to survive. Knowing that his death would only create room for Alpha Kade to be labeled as a murderer."He would be fine" that was all the doctor could tell him because that was the only response that he had. He went ahead to examine Damien for a while before stepping out of the ward, knowing he needed to give them some privacy.The room felt heavy after the doctor left. Nobody said anything at first, each of them sitting with their own thoughts, the only sound being the low

Celine's povI stood outside the arena watching Kade and could tell that something was definitely wrong. He had won, it was clear but he wouldn't stop hitting him.Kade was the type to leave immediately after the battle. It was a tough one for him today, I knew Damien had used some sort of tricks on him which had almost killed him, but why he was still there hitting Damien when there was no need to, was what I could not fathom."Kade!" I yelled at the top of my voice and the referee rushed and grabbed him away."Rowan!" I called out to him but I didn't need to say another word. He nodded his head and quickly began to walk towards the arena.By the time he got there, he rushed towards Kade. Good thing that most of the crowd were celebrating and had failed to notice what was going on.Rowan held him and they both hurried out of there. I followed behind, giving enough space not to draw attention while some medical staff quickly wheeled Damien out of there and with the way he was looking,

Kade's POVI forced myself to my feet again, but it was useless. Damien walked over to me and threw a hard punch that landed directly on my cheek.Then again and again until my mouth was filled with blood. Yet my eyes stayed on Celine, her eyes filled with tears at what I had been reduced to."Go ahead, get up. Get up to your feet. Are you not the so powerful Alpha Kade!" He mocked, and with every mocking remark he made, he hit me hard again. He was clearly enjoying every single moment of it. Taking his time with it. Savoring it."GET UP!!!!"I suddenly heard a loud voice inside my head. It was not exactly a whisper. It was more like something banging very hard from within me.For a moment, I didn't even realize the voice was coming from inside my own head. I turned around searching for the source of it, but there was no one around except for Damien who was still celebrating in his glory."GET UP AND FIGHT!" The voice rang out again and this time I finally recognized it. It was my wol
