SEAN. “I saw Ethan in my illusion.” I heard Naria say beside me, her voice filled with guilt and sadness. I glanced at her face, without saying a word, I didn’t know how to comfort her the way she does to me. “It’s only an illusion meant to fill you up with guilt and anguish.” I finally said with a steady voice after few minutes of silence. “I wish I could see him again, even if it’s one last time.” “What if he’s dead?.” I asked with raised brows and she shot me a soft glare. “Ethan is not dead.” She defended, “I can feel it, even if he was banished into the forbidden temple and it’s been two years now, I strongly believe he’s still alive.” I nodded in agreement, it was not necessary to argue with her, if she believes her lover was alive then so be it. We have been riding through rocky terrain for some hours now, the scorching sun beating down on us. “Is everything going well with you two?.” Naria nudged my shoulder and I need no one to tell me who the other person was. “I
SEAN.“You’re safe now.”Isabella stared at me with her glowing brown eyes, I had just spoken to her.My voice was back, I couldn’t believe it, I just hope it’s not a dumb trick being played on me. I stood up from her body and raised her up carefully, she muttered a thank you and put in some distance between us like my touch burned her and it made my jaw tighten.I frowned at her reaction, I literally just saved her life, when I woke up, i couldn’t find anyone —just me there, I found myself in a dark alley being attacked by own reflection, and when I thought I was going to be killed, I was transported to another realm, back to Cresce
“My lady.” Mandy bowed down respectfully before the lady as she walked into the castle with a bright smile. “Mandy, how are you?.” “I’m good and you my lady?.”“Fantastic.” She replied and marched into her chambers with slow strides, beaming with a radiant smile and Mandy could tell the prophecy was working in their favor. “Mandy, Mandy, Brenda’s about to trim your flowers.” Cara yelled from the kitchen and immediately Mandy rushed to the kitchen only to be greeted by the chaotic mess of the two women. The kitchen was in disarray, spoons and knives scattered around the ground, soapy waters filled the sink and floor, something was thrown at her and she dodged it by an inch. “What’s wrong with you little children?.” Mandy yelled with anger boiling in her veins, the kitchen she took pains to arrange, Cara and Brenda turned it to a playground. They stopped whatever they were doing when they heard her voice and bent their heads like children caught stealing candy. “We are sorry.
“Isa, Isa. Wake up.” Bella, my wolf spirit growled in my senses and I snapped my eyes open, and the unfamiliar environment welcomed me. I shot up from the ground only to be faced by a creepy environment, a clear field covered with smoke and mist, the sky bleeding red, I didn’t see anyone around, No Sean, Naria or Isaiah. “Where am I?.” I asked Bella, as I looked around the unfamiliar environment. “The Home of the Druid’s, never believe anything you see, it’s all an illusion to trap your soul.” Bella said, her voice laced with a deep warning. The ground shifted beneath me and I stumbled, unreal yet painfully vivid, whispers clawed at my mind as shadows took shape, unseen roots curled like chains around my legs and I struggled to get it off, my bag was nowhere close, no dagger or sword. I saw a figure approaching furiously from the shadows and I braced myself for a fight but what I saw took me completely off guard—Me. My own reflection lunged at me with fangs and claws ba
SEAN“It’s about time.” Aaron roared in my senses. My eyes flashed open, taking in the familiar white ceiling boring down at me.My heart racing wildly, today we will set out on one of the most important journeys of our lives, it’s going to be a painful one too. The thought of seeing Isabella in Isaiah’s company made my stomach churn and my chest tightened with regret.I just wished I could get him out of my way and have her all to myself, I knew I made a mistake in the past and I’m ready to make amends if she gives me a chance.“Focus lad, it’s not yet time to whine about your pathetic love life.” Aaron sneered in disgust.
ALCAVIER CAVE.Footsteps were heavy on the soil, marching with violence and purpose. The dark soldiers in large numbers flooded into the cave, weapons and shields with them.They all came to a halt in front of a mighty throne carved out of rocks, there sat the demon wolf—- XAVIER .“Minions, what have you brought before me?.” Xavier asked in a deep eerie tone, his voice echoing through the air.One of the dark soldiers, the third-in -command stepped forward carrying a little sack. “Here is the head of Alpha Gavin and his elixir.” He handed the elixir to Xavier.The elixir—a mystical, shimmering liquid potion, often stored in a glow
