GEMMAI couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I had seen my mother. She had driven past me, not seeing me. I wondered how she had survived.I remembered the night as clear as yesterday. My mother fell to the ground after being stabbed. I watched her die. I remember being pulled away by my older brother, trying to get us away.My other siblings had tried to fight and had been brutally killed. Wani grabbed my hand and ran outside the house. He took me to my favorite hide-and-seek spot in the trees.I hid in the hole in the trunk that was only big enough to contain one person. He had covered the hole up with leaves and told me to stay quiet.I begged him to say. I held onto his shirt and cried. I begged him not to die but he couldn't stay. The soldiers were chasing after us and if he stayed, they would have caught both of us.Wani kissed my forehead and told me that he would come back for me. He led them away from my hiding spot.He never came back. We could have survived together b

GEMMANate scoffed in disbelief at the map. "It's not that far away from here." He said, leaning down to look at the map.George agreed. "About thirty minutes away.""Good. Let's go." I said, searching for my phone. I quickly took a picture of the map. "I got it so, let's go.""Where do you think you're going?" Nate asked.I paused and looked at him. "No," I chuckled sadistically. "I found the hint, the map, so I get to go.""You're the one person they're looking for. You think I'm going to let you go?" Nate asked."It's either you let me go or nobody goes," I said sternly. The both of them exchanged a look."Fine, but you're with me. George stays in the palace and we take a few guards with us." Nate instructed."Deal." I agreed. What were a few more guards finding about the Obsidian Wolves going to cause? It was a risk I was willing to take."And we're going to scout the area, not get into a fight. If it's their hideout, we call backup. Got it? Do not engage." Nate emphasized."I kno

ELIASGemma's mother sat in the chair opposite mine in my office, silently staring at nothing. Or should I say Katrina?Where she used to have hollow cheeks and sunken eyes, her face was plump and full of life. She was no longer the captive in that room. The potion seemed to have even made her look beautiful.Although she looked like Gemma's mother, I guessed that she was nothing like her. Months or probably years of captivity made Katrina behave like a shell.There was nothing I could say to comfort her. My mother entered the room, ever the force. She sat down on the chair next to Katrina. She jumped in her seat scared."Now, let's get back to business," Madam Margaret said. "Your name is Ronnie. You forgot your memory and for the past few years, you've been living at an orphanage, recovering from an incident."Your daughter is this lady," My mother placed a picture on the table. "But you don't remember her. You're supposed to come across her when you're in the palace. Make sure she

GEMMAI followed the sound to the kitchen. I grabbed the door handle and stopped, scared that if I tried to see her, she would disappear and I wouldn't be able to hear her.Still, I gathered the courage and I unlocked the door. I held onto the door handle for support.I couldn't believe my eyes. After almost ten years, she was right in front of me, singing and doing the dishes. I froze, my hand still holding the handle of the door."Mom?" I said. My throat was tight from unshed tears. "Mom?" I called again.She stopped singing, the dishes in her hands freezing. She didn't turn to look at me. "Gemma?" She called."Mom!" I said, letting go of the door and running towards her. I wrapped my hands around her and pressed my head to her shoulder. "Mom, I missed you."As I let her go and stepped back, she turned. I gasped. Instead of the beautiful face of my mother, I saw the face of a monster. It lunges at me, snarling and snapping its teeth trying to bite me.It managed to wrap Its hands ar

ELIASI looked at my mother, a little confused. "Didn't Gemma say she was an orphan? She said that all her family were killed at night during a massacre." I said to her.My mother cocked her brows at me. "I'm surprised you know that." She was implying something. "You seemed to have picked interest in the slave girl long before she was your mate."I cleared my throat. "I was just being nice." I retorted. "It was nothing like that."Mother snorted. "You would be a fool to fall for your prey." She said. "Gemma's family died that night.""So, how would we get her mother?" I asked."It's very simple. I know a witch who dwindles in dark magic."The suggestion sent a sick feeling into my stomach. I didn't like dealing with witches. They were haybringers and I believed they blurred the lines between good and evil seamlessly."How would they help us get Gemma's mother?" I asked.Madam Margaret shook her head. "We use a fake. Someone who we can control. That's where the witch comes in. She's go

GEMMA"An army of the dead?" George asked, his voice trailing off. It was unthinkable, I knew that."It's the only explanation— the sacrifices. I studied the pictures in the book before coming to meet the Queen. It was on my mind all through." I explained, taking turns to look at the both of them."I noticed that they're not just taking souls. They're exchanging them." I said."So they're making trades with Hades? Is that what you mean?" Nate asked. I nodded.Hades was the ruler of death. The only way for them to be able to bring back someone who had been claimed by Hades was to give him another. It was a trade by barter."That's pure evil," George said.The room had taken on a cold feeling and I knew that everyone was thinking about the implications of what this meant for us."Why do they need an army of the dead? Why not just get new soldiers?" Nate asked.I looked at him. "Think like the ruler you are," I said, not meaning it as an insult. "George is your most capable and useful wo
