UnknownThat dimwit, Pius Ramos duped me! Damn! I never thought that the mastermind would be outwitted in his own game! I must admit though, the kid is good. He has got some fucking balls!It seems like staying amongst the humans has made me pick up some of their dumb habits. Why in hell am I cussing like a deranged old fogie? I must minimize my interaction with the damned lot. Irrespective of that, I am not ashamed to admit that this time I have been outsmarted. Too much confidence is not good and I can testify to that. I was under the impression that Pius was under my spell but he is stronger than I thought. Why in the world do I not learn from my mistakes? I always fall because I underestimate my opponents. Maybe it is time I start accepting that surely, times have changed. Before I was cursed to the desolate lands almost a millennium ago, I was the strongest and most feared warlock in the universe. However, now I feel as if my powers are diminishing. They have gotten rusty over
AriaOne moment all I feel is overwhelming joy and the next moment absolute terror. Knowing that I am going to be a mother has triggered different emotions in me. A mixture of fear and joy. Fear that I may not be adequate for the role of motherhood. Terror of failing to protect my child. This role has been thrust on me without proper preparation. I am scared I may fail my child and they will suffer as I did. That said, another part of me is joyous. Extremely ecstatic. I feel that this is a chance for me to right some wrongs. Everything I went through as a child will never befall my baby. I will fiercely protect what's mine and live to see him or her grows into a beautiful creation. This is my chance to mold a child who understands humanity. To impart loads and loads of love to this child so that when he grows, he will be the epitome of strength through love, kindness, and compassion. I am determined to prove to the world that one's past does not define who they are. The injusti
AriaThree months since I left the Luminous Pack now. This also marks the third month of my pregnancy. Luckily for me, I am not showing much. Which means I can fight once more in the upcoming contest! Yay. Master Gao has tried numerous times to dissuade me from competing but I just turn a deaf ear. When have I ever done what others want? I always follow my instincts. Something has been urging me to go for this contest and that is what I am doing. I do not know whether it is a good thing or not. Mirah has been too lazy of late and strangely docile. When I asked her if I should go to Salisbury, her response was daunting."Aria, if your instinct tells you to go, then go. Besides, have you ever listened to anyone? Just do as you please and let me rest. Besides, when chaos ensues, I will be forced to protect your stubborn ass anyway."Amazing! Utterly incredulous. This sassy wolf has become grumpy lately. I guess it is the pregnancy hormones affecting her mood. I took days wondering what
Manny Two months have gone by, with my mate gone. I am frustrated, helpless, and horny! I guess I am in a rut and mating is the only cure for a rut. How do I end this torture when my mate is not with me? I cannot cheat on her since we have now completed the mate bond. Apart from that, I am an alpha and I should uphold the values that I instill in my people. Every day, we make sure we teach the youngsters the importance of honoring the mate bond. It has been this way over the years passed. If I stumble, I will be the reason for their rebellion. How will I face my pack if I commit the very sin that we preach against nonstop? At this moment, every female I see is appealing. I am a walking time bomb. A danger to the female population in my pack. I have to lock myself up in my room until this passes. It is taking all of my willpower to hold myself back. I struggle to get through to my father through mindlink. Luckily, uncle Levi sensed my distress so he is here to see me. We meet at t
Manny Watching Scarlett writhing and groaning in pain, I feel a queer sensation. Which is quite odd since I am an alpha and I should not hurt my pack members. I turn to my wolf for answers but he just sneers and blocks me. I am left wondering what this was all about. I know that Scarlett was wrong for deceiving us, but he could have still let her off with a warning. To an extent, I am to blame for her predicament. Had I just reeled in my urge to mate, I might have called out her bluff before things escalated. Although it was dark, I still had my senses. A lot of things did not feel right but I only concentrated on my mate's scent and overlooked all else. The absence of sparks, her fervent kisses, the texture of her skin, and a whole lot more, pointed to her being a phony. Unfortunately, at that moment, I was now using my dickhead to think instead. I just had to do her even if I knew she really was not my Aria. That is the truth. I figured it out but I pushed it at the back of my
Aria Finally, the tournament commenced. I am a little disgruntled because the master is against the idea of me taking part in the fights. However, I am still the same adamant Aria.When have I ever paid heed to authority? I just agreed with him to pacify him but I registered under my pseudonym, Blade. Furthermore, I will be a masked fighter. So, the problem is partly solved because once I start fighting, master Gao will definitely recognize me. However, although he will be upset, he will not be able to stop me. I know he is worried about my pregnancy but I know that I will not let anyone hurt my babies. They are the only blood relatives I have left. Therefore I will protect them fiercely. Apart from that, I am not showing much. If a person does not know, they will just think that I am a little bit chubby side. Only those closest to me, know. Unless one of them lets the little detail slip off, I will be safe from malicious opponents. If they get to know it, they will target my bell
Aria Before the final fight commences, we get to watch the juniors fighting. It is intense but less bloody. My students impress me a great deal. They paid heed to my advice and they are doing pretty well. However, I guess I celebrated too early. In the semi-finals, I notice that they were paired with werewolves and I gave them the signal to concede defeat. As they are all human, they stand no chance of fighting against shifters. The disparity in their strength is too vast. When I see that they are all well, I retreat to our camp to continue with my investigation of Connor. Modeling the desk I browse through the emails that the mysterious man, now known to me as Dave, sent me. No matter how hard I try, I cannot find his IP address. Hence I give up on trying to locate him. I also admit that he is the first hacker with skills above mine. Nonetheless, I am grateful for the I formation that he sent me. I take out my notebook and note down the locations of all of Connor's research facil
Theodore (Rabid Wolf)I have become a shell of my former self. I used to be full of life and expectations. However, lately, I have wished for death numerous times yet I am being kept alive forcefully. My captors did not bother to keep me in the dark about the reason for my captivity. They made sure I get to know about it the very day they apprehended me. I was mourning the snap of the mate bond. I knew then that Peggy, my name had died. What I did not know was the cause of her untimely demise. When the hunters found me, I did not even try to fight back. I was ready to die as well. Unfortunately, they had other plans for me. They tied me up in silver chains to suppress my wolf. At that time I was still clueless. However, that confusion did not last long. I understood everything when I was out in their underground dungeon. When Connor walked in, I had a clear understanding of what must have transpired. "Well, if it isn't the rogue wolf who touched my wife! Did you honestly think th
