Delilah's POV

Less than an hour in this place and I'm already attracting trouble to myself. The angry-looking guy continues to move towards me as I back away from him. I swallow hard, reasoning my way out of this mess.

How would I have known that my powers would go MIA on me? My heart rate spikes up and my breath catches in my throat.

I need to fight this punk. With or without my powers I need to teach him not to mess with me.

He throws his hand in an attempt to punch me and I duck. He sends another in my direction. Quickly, I pull him by his hand and knee him in the stomach. Twisting his arm, I go behind him but he pushes me away.

We separate and I stand off, gauging his movement.

He chuckles. "You think you can beat me? Look at this little girl."

"I'm no little girl," I reply in a serious tone.

He reaches to grab me by the neck and I push his arm away. Yanking hard on my hair, he drags me to himself and punches me in the abdomen.

"Ahh!" I shout and place my hand on my abdomen.

  • Fated to the war general    38. Sneaking out

    Delilah's POV I sit down on the stairs leading up to Denise's front door and wait for her to show up. "I'm so sorry, Delilah. Hope I did not keep you waiting for long?" Denise says, walking up to the house. "No, it's fine," I reply while standing up. She unlocks the door to her apartment and pushes it open. Initially, we meet a dark house before she turns on the light switch, and light floods the living room. It has two couches and a small centre table. There's a television sitting on a console. Beyond the living room is the kitchen and dining area, demarcated from the living room by a half wall. "Welcome to my humble abode," Denise says, walking to the kitchen to drop her bag on the dining table. I move further into the room painted in soft pink. "You have an amazing place, Denise. Thanks for allowing me to stay." "You're welcome, dear. My roommate just moved last week and her room is still in order. I've been looking for who to share the place with." She lead

  • Fated to the war general    37. Employment

    Delilah's POV"New York?" I repeat after him just to be sure I'm hearing correctly.Jake looks at me blankly.This is worse than death. I can't be in the human world. What if they discover that I'm a werewolf? Just imagine all the despicable treatment I'd receive. "Do you have a place to stay?" Jake's voice breaks into my thoughts. I blink at him and shake my head. "You can work for my mum. Her daily wages should be enough to find you fairly good accommodation for the night." I continue to stare at Jake in confusion. This can't be happening. There's no way the staff of doom sends people to the human world. How do I leave this place? How do I return to Avalon now?"Hello?" Jake waves his hand in front of my face. "Now I remember, you never told me your name.""Delilah. My name is Delilah," I tell him."Alright, Delilah. So are you taking the job? I can teach you the ropes myself."I study his expression, contemplating whether I should trust him or not. "Sure. Yes. I will take the j

  • Fated to the war general    35. A Whole New World

    Delilah's POVI stepped into the light and it has brought me into a dark hollow abyss. All around me is a black nothingness that reaches into my soul. Is this death? The laughter of a child meets my ears and I turn around. Suddenly I see myself back in the Silver Crest pack, cradled in my mother's arms. She sings a soft lullaby for me while we both sit under the moonlight. The night breeze plays through her golden hair. I reach up and have a feel of it on my fingers. Looking down at me, she smiles warmly and cuddles me even closer. It's all a good memory until all of a sudden she starts coughing. It first starts off as something minimal, then she lets go of me and holds onto her chest. That's the first night her sickness started to show up. My smile disappears as the scene plays out before me. "Mum!" I reach forward and try to hold her but my hand passes through her body like a ghost. I open my palm before me and look at it in dread. What's happening? The scene changes and now I

  • Fated to the war general    34. Shocker Of My life

    Cecile's POV I knew something was definitely wrong when two of the council members arrived at the pack, insisting on searching the place. Through my window, I watch General Kane come in a while later. There was something suspicious about the way he came in and the time he did. After watching them for some time, I rush downstairs to follow General Kane. From a distance, I listen intently as he brings out his phone and puts a call through to his Beta, Ezekiel. His voice sounds from the distance, low and calculated, "Clear up the evidence..."My eyebrows knit together in thought. Clear up the evidence? What could he possibly mean? He ends his call and starts walking back to join the council members. On my way to my room, I come across Father and immediately rush to him. "Dad?" I call, getting his attention. "Why are the council members here?""They're searching for Delilah. If you're asked, she isn't here, okay?" "Okay. But where is she?" I probe further, tailing along with him.

  • Fated to the war general    33. Burden

    Kane's POVThe messengers have already spent a lot of time in Blood Moon. Based on the orders from the Ultima, the Sentinels join them to search the houses and surrounding woods for any sign of Delilah. Right now, we're all supposed to be at the beck and call of these 'messengers' the Ultima has sent. But I refuse to stoop so low. I'm their commanding General and will continue to act from that place of authority. Ever since I returned from the Cedar Wood pack, I've been waiting for them in my office. I know they will come to me with more questions. So I mentally prepare myself. Close to two hours later, a knock comes on the door and it opens as Ezekiel walks in. "The messengers are here," he announces. "Let them in."Ezekiel returns to the door and opens it for two dark-haired men to walk in. I immediately recognise them as part of the council members. "General Kane," One calls out in greeting. "Long time no see," he says before stopping at the edge of my table and putting one f
