POWERS OF THE FORBIDDEN Chapter 37
EMILIA POV“If ever you seek the Council of Elders from Fangsbane Pack,” an instructor once told us in the pack school when we were younger, “all you have to do is go north-east.”We had been taught to learn of everything we would encounter and were to be prepared for if we ever decided to go to the Council of Elders for help and if we were in danger.Now, I was heading in their direction without preparation and the sparse memories of what I had been taught by the instructor.“Wisteria path, wisteria path,” I mumbled to myself, looking around to search for a path filled with wisteria trees as we had been informed that there would be. I kept stalking forward, stopping once in a while to catch my breath and whenever I got pain in my stomach.It suddenly felt like my stomach had gotten heavier, but I was sure that it was that way because I was exhausted.“Oh, goddess!” I exclaimed as I found one wisteria tree a few feet away, using the last bit of my strength to trudge forward until I go

EMILIA POV“No, wait! You have to listen to me!” I cried out in my defence as the elders stood up and watched me get held by two of the soldiers. I struggled against them, trying to get out of their grips, but I soon learned that it would only make things worse for me.“If you don’t start speaking, I will order for your tongue to be cut off this instant,” the woman threatened, glaring at me as she walked down from her chair and walked close to me.“I didn’t do this on purpose—”“Are you carrying a vampire’s offspring inside you, yes or no?!” she demanded loudly.“Yes, I am!” As soon as I answered the question, the leader of the soldiers brought back his knife into view and placed it directly on my stomach, waiting for the green light from any one of the elders.“I didn’t share a bed with a vampire! You have to listen to me!” I shouted, making sure I didn’t move much so that the knife wouldn’t rip me apart.“Then, how come you’re carrying that abomination inside you?”“That’s what I wa

EMILIA POV“No!” I screamed out, guarding my stomach with my hand and running away, but I didn’t get far when I fell to the ground and looked back to see Heath approaching me with the knife in his hand.“You can’t do this!” I yelled out at the Council of Elders, seeing that at least two of them had concern on their faces and trying to win them over to take a vote against it before Heath could go ahead with it. “It’s going to kill me as well! Don’t you want answers from me as well?”“Stop, Heath!” Vittoria commanded loudly, and Heath stopped in his tracks as soon as possible.“We need to take a vote on this,” Marcus suggested. “I don’t think it’s fair to have the child killed so soon without a valid reason.”“Is the fact that the child is half vampire not enough for you?” Dennis argued. “You also heard what was said about the child—”“And it hasn’t been confirmed just yet. For all we know, the vampire might just be playing one big game to get us to surrender Emilia and the child she’s
POWERS OF THE FORBIDDEN Chapter 40
EMILIA POV“Do not do something you’ll end up regretting, Seth. Let her go,” Lucas warned him, but I was pretty sure that killing one of the members of the Werewolf Council and holding another captive was enough for him to regret it later in his life and never think of doing it again.“You do know that you’re cornered, don’t you?” I reminded him, gesturing at all of the soldiers who were sworn to the Elders. “The moment they get you, it’s all over for you, Seth. Think about this and let her go before things get ugly for you.”Seth only laughed mockingly at us as he drew his knife closer to Penelope’s neck and looked around at the guards, who were stuck on the fence of defending Penelope and risking her life and letting Seth remain like that to keep her alive.“You really think I’m cornered?” he asked me, his eyes turning darker than they already were. “I will get them all killed in only a few seconds.”The minute he announced that, I could hear swords being drawn and swung as Seth’s s

EMILIA POV“Here we are,” Seth introduced as we stepped within the borders of Fangsbane, making a gesture of holding out both of his hands to showcase the pack that he claimed was his. “Welcome to Fangsbane Pack, where you’re supposed to belong, Emilia. Too bad that you went against me.”“When and where do you want me to address the people?” I asked, going straight to the point to show him how uninterested I was in his words and his antics.“Quite eager, aren’t we?” He chuckled before facing me fully with a frown. “How long will it take Lucas to gather his soldiers and come back to this pack for you? Don’t lie to me.”“He’s not going to,” I assured. “I told him to stay back.”Seth looked around at his men, who scoffed as if silently telling him that I was the last person for him to trust. Then, he grabbed me by the hair and swung me to the side so that I would bend in an uncomfortable position.“You’re hurting me,” I informed him as calmly as possible as I realized that a part of his
POWERS OF THE FORBIDDEN Chapter 42
EMILIA POVThere was heavy silence in the room as I looked at the bodies laid on my feet in absolute panic. I was stuck between the thought of returning to call the attention of the assistants in the kitchen and going out to investigate on my own.“Daemon? Katarina?” I said lowly as I looked around, my forehead breaking into a sweat as I waited a sound to finally point me out to whatever was happening and what had happened to those soldiers.Taking the other route of having to go to the soldiers, I crouched beside the body of one of them as I attempted to figure out where the blood was coming from and if he had puncture marks close to that of a vampire’s fangs.I turned the warm body around and found a deep gash across the neck, which could only mean one thing – a silver blade.There was a dull thud which came from the living room, and I stood up immediately, making up my mind to see it through to the end.“Is there someone out there?” I called, taking slow and intentional steps towar
POWERS OF THE FORBIDDEN Chapter 43
EMILIA POV“W-What?” I stuttered, unable to hear my own voice through the cries of outrage from the members of Fangsbane Pack, who were demanding for my head to be chopped off and served on a silver platter to the other animals of the forest.I had just made a fake confession to something untrue that Seth had blamed me for, only for him to turn around and point the accusing finger at me for something else entirely?“You are ridiculous!” I said loudly, and he used that as a play on the already heated emotions of the people as he still kept his index finger pointed at me.“Do you hear how she talks? Do you all know now just how vile and fowl she is?” As he asked his question, and with each word that he said, they all cheered him on and pulled me down even louder.“Can you all believe that while I was thinking about letting her go, even after she murdered Alpha James in cold blood, she was busy going on a killing spree until the kitchen assistants all held her down?!” The people foolishl

EMILIA POVWords could not express just how emotionally drained and tired I was from having everyone want something from me. I was not the last being on earth, but they all made me feel so in a sick and terrible manner.“What do you mean? It’s only a child that’s still growing in my stomach,” I reminded my uncle, who had just claimed the unborn child in my stomach as his ticket to becoming the Alpha of Fangsbane, just the way Daemon had laid claim earlier.At the reminder of Daemon and why he had chosen me in the first place, I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at Carlos. “Why this baby, in particular? Why do you want my child as your ticket? If you want to be the Alpha of Fangsbane, you can get it as easily as challenging Seth for title and winning in a one-on-one battle.”As if I had said the one most ridiculous thing his ears had ever born, Carlos scoffed at my words as he told me, “You’re just a silly girl who knows nothing. Did the vampire say anything about you and the child?”I cou
