Sheila's point of view"Kai!" I yelled in fear, at the fireballs scattered in the sky aiming for different parts of the pack. This was going to cause great destruction and deaths.I left Kai and turned for the door. I hurried out of the court, stepping into the night's darkness and blue sky as one of the fireballs headed for the witches' quarters.I used my magic and held its force, redirecting it back to where it was coming from.I glanced around. Some of the fireballs were redirected by the witches scattered around in the pack while some exploded against the earth, causing destruction.I turned to Kai. "Lucius has resources and we are clearly outnumbered. Help us, Kai, please. We need witches, warriors, and resources, otherwise, Lucius will win," I said, trying to convince my brother into helping the pack."Fuck it, Sheila," I could hear him curse under his breath. His deep loving hazel eyes fell on me, regarding me. "Stay with the witches, Sheila. I'll see what I can do."A small s
Killian's point of viewMy amber orbs gleamed a dangerous shade of red, my vision glowed red as well. I made full use of my wolf's side, plucking out the heads of Lucius's rogues and witches that attacked. My sharp elongated nails dripped with their disgusting thick crimson blood.I pulled out the heart of an idiotic rogue coming at me, my eyes flickered to Allen and Jax in a fight with rogues as well.My claws were dripping wet. I glanced around as my army fought against Lucius's army. It was already dead in the night, and the foul odor of blood and stench of death mixed with the midnight air.We've been fighting for quite some time but so far, there's been no sign of Lucius. I tried mind-linking Sheila, but it was not connecting. I was getting worried. I left in search of her. I knew she had to be at the witches' quarters, fighting alongside the witches, at least, that way, she would be able to use her magic.I was racing through the woods, my body and bare chest smeared with blood.
Killian's point of viewIt was already morning, and the sun appeared above the Eastern horizon. I moved past the bloody mess on the ground, scattered around the pack. Lifeless bodies of Lucius's army of both rogues and witches. More than half of his army was all dead, few escaped while a few were taken as prisoners.Lucius was dead. His death gave me great joy and satisfaction. Finally, he was able to pay for every damned wrong he did to Sheila.I felt a rush of calmness within me. We did not only win the war Lucius started, but we also managed to put an end to the terrible things that had been occurring in the pack, along with Thea.I left the castle and joined Morgan at the Packhouse where the warriors were disposing of the bodies."How are things going?" I turned to Morgan whose green eyes were already on me."The outcome is better than I had imagined. We lost a few warriors, while the wounded ones are being taken care of by the Pack's physician, and the witches," he voiced."I'll
Sheila's point of viewMy heart was jumping in my chest and suddenly, I couldn't breathe as his golden irises bored down at me with an indescribable emotion in his depth.I shot upright on my bed, my hair and body damp from sweat under my night dress. It was just a dream. I swallowed several deep breaths, placing my hand over my chest as I tried to calm my heavy panting. But I just couldn't. I couldn't even quell the vibrations from my body. I didn't know if it was from fear or confusion.It's been a long time since Lucius' abrupt war since I had one of these dreams. And that was almost three weeks ago. I had spelled my dreams and ensured whatever madness was going on in there stopped, and it did. Or at least I thought it did.I sighed, resting my elbows on my thighs while using my hands to rub my face. My heart and thought were in an uproar. I kept on swallowing some air, as my body vibrated more. I couldn't lie, for the first time in my life, I felt angst. Even Adie felt the same wa
Sheila's point of viewValerie's blue eyes became heated on me. "What are you saying?" She shifted from the shelf, giving me her full attention."The dreams started not long ago, and I thought I had put an end to it—" I started but Valerie cut me off."What do you mean by putting an end to it?" She asked, and I could feel the uneasiness in her entire aura, and earnestly it was affecting me."I spelled myself, stopping whatever madness that was, and for a while, it worked, but somehow it's back," I said, looking her in the eyes. "I had a dream about him again, and oh, Val, it felt so real," I confessed as the bad feeling in my chest grew more.Valerie placed two of her fingers against her temple. I could see the flash of fear in her eyes but she was trying desperately to hide it."Alright. Let's calm down, Sheila," she muttered, leading me away from the shelf, and back to her table. "How can you be sure it was the Dark Lord?" She asked, regarding me. "Firstly, it's not even possible. Y
Sheila's point of viewI was all dolled up already. It was night time, and the party had started. Many guests from far regions had made appearances already. And some members of the Council had attended the ball already. I stood in front of the tall mirror that held my reflection. I looked really beautiful in the dress Killian picked for me. It was a gold floor-length mermaid-style dress with an embroidered corset at the top. It was stunning and matched my white and gold masquerade mask. I loved it.The door pulled open and Brielle stepped in. She was all dressed up as well, and her long black hair fell down her shoulders, stylishly."It's time," she smiled, joining me in the mirror. "There has never been so many people in the pack like tonight," she said. "Tonight's going to be so much fun.""Yeah," I whispered to myself. I turned to her, taking her in. There was something different about her. In a good way. "You look beautiful," I told her, examining her carefully.Brielle smiled, "
Sheila's point of viewI weaved my way through the crowd, with Morgan's hand still on my wrist."What happened back there?" He asked me with his green irises on me.I shook my head. "Nothing," That was all I had to say. I didn't understand what had happened back there. All I could feel was the vibrations within me, and the fearful feeling in my chest that was suffocating me. I took off my mask."Hey Sheila, take a deep breath," Morgan pulled me to a stop as he could hear the deafening banging of my heart against my chest."I will, but first, I must find Valerie," I left him in a haste and headed for the tall golden doors which led me outside into the cold darkness. I couldn't find Valerie nor Lorenzo.I gripped my heavy dress with my hands, pulling it up a little so I could move hastily. I was about to head for the witches' quarters when I felt Killian's presence.His scent encamped me as he held me close to him. "I've been looking everywhere for you.""Have you seen Valerie?" I asked
Sheila's point of viewMy eyes widened as I backed further away from him and his piercing stare. The golden gaze in his eyes sent a disturbing and cold chill down my spine."You?" I whispered breathlessly, as he kept watching me.He smirked wickedly and his image transformed. Killian's hair changed into a long golden one that fell in place behind his ears, slipping down to his shoulders and his face changed as well.A small gasp escaped my lungs as I was staring face to face with the man that had always crept into my thoughts. And for the first time in a long while, I felt fear.He was the stranger on the dance floor. He had somehow spelled himself to change his appearance. And now that the spell was broken, he no longer smelled like a pureblooded wolf.He pulled away from the table, taking slow calculated steps to where I remained rooted and stopped when he was a breath away. His towering height leaned closer, allowing me to gaze properly into his eyes. The scent of rosewood invaded
