Selene/Lunaria’s POV “Lunaria,” she called amid her sobs as she rested my head on her chest. “I’m so sorry, my baby. I should have protected you back then,” she wept. “I thought I would never get the chance to see you again- that I had lost you forever.” “Same here, Mum. I’m glad we finally meet again. You lost me in the past, but I will ensure you don’t lose me again,” I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat, as I whispered to her. We didn’t let each other go and behind us stood Drevyn, who was watching us silently. His eyes were filled with unreadable expressions and unspoken questions. I would answer all his questions, but for now, all I wanted was the peace I found in mum’s arms, before the storm struck again. Mum held me tighter as she feared I would slip off her grip again. After minutes of absorbing each other’s heat, mum finally let me go. “Come, my darling,” she said, gently dragging me to the sofa. We had our seats with her hands wrapped around mine. “Yo
Selene/Lunaria’s POV With my legs trembling because of the truth I had just found out, I entered the car, and the car pulled out of the driveway. The question: “Why? Why is mum after me?” kept on replaying in my mind. That woman had nurtured me with all the love a mother would give her child, during my childhood. She loved me, supported me. She was there when I took my first walk and she was there for me to pour out my worries to, when my father was too busy; jumping from one gang meeting to the other. Why would she go after my child? After her own granddaughter? What the hell did she need from me that she couldn’t seat me down as her child and ask me? It hurt that after so many years of blaming myself for her death, after many years of longing to hold her hands once again, I was met with such a brutal truth. She trained my own daughter to become a weapon she had always blamed my father for turning me into. She not only stopped at that, but she also went as far as sending m
Nora’s POV “Well.... I just guessed. You have always loved female kids right from your childhood. You once told me you would love to have a girl as your first child,” Mum stammered, as she tried covering up her mistake. “Oh, I did? I can’t remember telling you something like that,” I countered with a smile on my face. “Oh, well you did. You were so little then, so it’s possible you have forgotten,” she hurriedly said, wanting us to move past that conversation as soon as possible. “Okay,” I simply said as I continued with my food. “Who is the father of your child? Is it Liam?” Mum asked, feigning ignorance and I also played along. Since that was how she wanted us to roll, we would just push forward with that. “No, he isn’t and before you ask, that man isn’t someone you know,” I replied nonchalantly. “So, you had another person you were dating when we were together? Is that why you had adamantly refused for me to touch you? Were you cheating on me, Nora?” Liam spoke, feelin
Nora's POV “Selene!!” Williams/Drevyn’s voice had called and my eyes flung open. My chest heaved up and down with beads of sweat formed on my forehead as if I had just come back from a battle. Everything felt so real like it wasn't a dream. It felt like I had been pulled into the past and experienced the same pain over and over again. I remembered everything- who I was, how I lived and those people who hurt and killed my child. Everything was beginning to make sense at that point. Remembering how my child had been killed, tears slowly rolled down my cheeks. Everything Drevyn said about Marlik, or should I refer to him as Steve instead, was true. He was an animal who lived in human form- one who should be banished from the surface of the earth. He and his father deserved nothing, but a slow and excruciating death!!And Cassandra? No wonder she was so bitter. She was scared Marlik would abandon her, just like he abandoned me in the past. Drevyn? I felt guilty for my actions towa
Omniscient POV There was her child- his lifeless body raised in the air as his blood dripped into a calabash. She froze. Her legs refused to move as she tried pushing forward. “No. No. No,” she whispered underneath her breath as she shook her head in refusal and denial. “That isn't my child,” she tried reassuring herself, but deep down in her, she knew the truth. That it was indeed him. When reality finally overpowered her denial, she let out a scream of despair, which shook the Earth and threw people flying in the air. The wind blew the lamps off before the ritual could be completed and the ritual became null. Marlik and Damian’s efforts became wasted and they couldn't have been more disappointed. The people who survived Lunaria’s wind turned their heads in the direction of where the scream had come from and they were all surprised to see who was standing there. Lunaria stood with her head hung loosely on her neck. She was no longer herself. The deadly power inside of her ha
Omniscient POVBack to the Clan of the Whispering Flame, Serenya was seen pacing up and down in front of the clan's gate, awaiting the arrival of her son.It was noon already and Drevyn was supposed to be back home, but he was nowhere to be found. “Why is he so late? Could anything have gone wrong? Has Damian done anything bad to him?” Serenya murmured to herself as she fidgeted, biting her fingers in fear. Just then, she heard one of the maids shouting her name from behind. She looked back in fright only to see the maid who had called her, running to her as if she had seen the unbelievable. “Head Shaman,” the maid called, stopping in front of her as she tried catching her breath. “Yes, what's the problem?” Serenya asked annoyingly, getting angry at the maid for interrupting her thoughts. “She …..is awake,” the maid slowly said, grabbing onto her chest as if she was trying to steady her breathing. “Who? Who is awake?” Serenya asked, her face furrowed in confusion. “Luna, she's
