Esma’s pov Damien, the god of chaos. The ancient one. One of the most powerful gods. The lights filled the room and I saw his beautiful features. He was truly mesmerizing. Tall stature, silver eyes, although he was standing approximately twenty feet away from me, all my senses were screaming at me to run away. I don’t know if it was his aura. It was my general instinct to have as much distance between us. I was a scaredy cat in front of him. My head bowed on its own but my eyes were fixated on his beautiful face. his thick eyebrows, his eye lashes, his perfect nose, his thin lips. “I gave it to you.” he said and I pursed my lips. My hunch was right. He was that librarian who appeared last time and recommended it that book. But there was nothing about him that stands out that day. If I would have known… if only I could go back in time. “It served its purpose.” I said and didn’t lift my head. It was unequivocal oath to myself. I don’t know if it was fear from the power or the fact t
“God has always been stingy with his creation. And we my dear, we no different than him.” he said and started walking towards us. With every step he takes, my heart started to beat faster. Asher was on my side but I know he was no match for him or Lilith. “God is cruel. C-R-U-E-L.” Damien said as he takes steps slowly. He stopped and look at me. his face was unreadable. I don’t know what he was trying to look at my face but he looked lost in thought. After what seems to be eternity, he finally spoke. “God is stingy with creation. God could have created any world he wanted. He could have created a world without conflicts, without pain, without death…” he said and there was a slight change in his voice. His old demurring voice was gone, there was slight annoyance, a pinge of complaint. “And what did he create.” His eyes didn’t left mine. they were drawing me in. Grey eyes I have never seen before. they remind me of ash. The ash left after the destruction. “What?” I didn’t realise I
Beginning of everything.The god created the world single-handedly with all his might and created the human kind in the reflection of his own image. He created the world in seven days.He made the protectors to oversee the world, they were given the task and responsibility to look after the place that God had created for them but on one condition. The gods were not allowed to interfere in the matter of human.Along with Hades and Poseidon, Zeus shared the rule of the world and became king of Olympus. Poseidon was the king of sea and Hades was assigned as a lord of underground.The first of the divines formed from the mere dust resembled other celestial beings like sun, earth, moon and stars.Luna, goddess of the moon, truly represented the moon itself.Although the ancients considered Hecate and Artemis counted as lunar goddesses, only Luna was the moon itself. She is said to have driven the mo
Hecate’s pov“Just stop the chariot here only.” I ordered the horsemen who nodded immediately. I gazed above from the cloak and let the light touched my face. The sun was setting down. It will be soon the time of dusk.“What exactly you are here for if I may ask?” the man asked still driving the chariot not looking back. The road was jarring and I had to hold the handle for the balance.“I am going to meet someone.” I said looking ahead. the horse neighed as he pulled the ropes too tightly.“Nobody in the past thirty years or so have been living here, you are the first one whom I am taking on this road.” I shake my head. He didn’t know anything. Thirty years? This area was left barren for the last hundred years, the civilization had left this place at the beginning of the twentieth century.“Honestly, If I didn’t want the money ur
Reed’s povToday marked me one month since I left her. Since she left me. I closed my eyes and the same memory from the forest haunts me.“Please take your warriors back to your pack with you.”She said and quaffed loudly as if she was trying not to break in tears in front of me.“Your warriors didn’t deserve to die and that to such a horrible death and especially for me.”This time she looked away.“Please order them, if something happens to any one of them, I won’t be able to forgive myself.”A single tear escaped her eye and something inside me stirs. Her pained expression, her tearful voice lingered in my head.I can’t get myself away from her. And now, when she knew everything about me, she is my light. I placed my fingers on her chin and make her look into my eyes, to show her I am sincere.“You are their Lun
Esma’s pov“Will I get everything here?” I asked the old man in the glasses sitting on his desk reading a rom-com. Probably When Kattie met Cassidy by Camellia Pierce. He looked up from his book annoyingly but soon it resolved into nervousness as soon as he sensed I was the Alpha.“Ye… yes, Ms?” he stumbled on words and I already knew I was intimidating him. I hardly intimidate anyone, if it wasn’t for the alpha blood coercing in my veins, nobody feared me.“Rockwood.” I said too curtly much to my dislike. He nodded and bowed at the same time and closed his book finally, not before putting a bookmark in it. jeez. “What book exactly you are looking Ms. Rockwood?” he asked way too politely, his behaviour nothing like the one two minutes ago.“Do you have by any chance book on the Curses? Like the ancient folklores, myths, curses and their cures?&
Reed’s pov“Alpha, she is right here. Always on time.” Asher said from the behind. I pulled one T-shirt from the wardrobe and nodded at him. last night, I checked on the borders, it had been ages since I patrol on the boundaries. It was not before the morning when I returned back to the castle.I was very tired and exhausted, so I slept without taking a shower. Today is the full moon which means my pack could be seen by the enemies under the broad moonlight. My pack could be cloaked and almost impossible to track but once in a month when the moon is under it’s best power, my pack could be seen under the moon light.“Just give me a sec Asher.” With that I pulled the trousers and we started walking downstairs.“Did you talk to their families?” I asked not looking at his face. he did not look at me as well. Told to be truth, I was feeling ashamed. This was the reason why I have kept isola
Esma’s pov “You are late Miss.” I said folding my hands, trying to look angry and intimidating. Diana smiled sheepishly. I swear I wanted to remain mad at her but it was a very special day, for her, for our pack. she was going to be a part of our pack. one of us, and I can’t wait for it to happen. “Just caught up talking to Reed.” She said in obvious tone but I know she was eyeing me, gauging my reaction. And personally, his name alone could do wonders with me but I remained silent and hummed. “Let’s get you a dress.” I said trying to change the topic. “Dress?” Diana squealed like a young girl and I realized how she was just a young girl caught up in everyone’s mess trying to do the right thing for everybody. She is yet to see many things and joys to behold. “Yes, you had to wear something good. It is not like every day; the blue moon pack conducts a blood ritual to introduce their beta-female.” I said and hugged her. she was
