Mag-log inCayden's povBlood spilled from Jaime's mouth and nose, his eyes swollen like walnuts.“Jaime, just fight.” I tried shouting for him to fight but he stood there, his hands still gripping onto the thread.“Is this all?” What happened to your big mouth?” The shadowy figure taunted Jaime as she kicked him up and down.“Is that your best? So weak? Honestly, inferior dirty creatures like you should not even exist?”Jaime licked his lips in disgust, acting tough and nonchalant.“Ohh.” The creature nodded thrice, her voice deepening with each nod. “You still have a mouth, don't you?” The creature pulled out a poisonous long sword from her body, the shadowy long sword sparkled with bouts of negative energy.…Swish.“Time to die…slowly.” The shadowy let out a cold laugh as she charged towards Jaime.“Fool.” Jaime stared at the dissipating shadowy figure, writhing in pain as she gradually melted to the floor and was carried off by the wind.“Did anyone not tell you that you don't go charging t
Cayden's pov“Ahhh.” A sharp pain tore through my heart, making me fall headfirst on the floor.“Cayden.” Silver rushed up to me and held me tight. I could not even make a sound, my hands held Silver so much, it felt like I was about to snap his bones.“I….I…feel terrible.” I barely managed to say as I slumped on silver's arms.“What's wrong?” Jaime looked over,his face was worried but he did not proceed forward.Silver said nothing,just quietly brought our the glowing medallion I tucked in my pocket.The medallion was glowing a faint red glow, his expression darkened as he stared right at Jaime.“Jaime, listen closely to what I am about to tell you.” As silver spoke, he cast a veil around us.The veil darkened the sky above us like a dome.At this point,I could not even feel my fingers or any of my limbs. Only my mind could still function as I helplessly stared around.Jaime looked at silver who was still setting up the veil. “What's the matter?”“I need to protect me and cayden wit
Carmen's povIllegitimate!“What did you mean by that?” I asked, my voice low and curious.Jade looked on the floor. “I am an illegitimate child, Carmen. You know Cayden is not the only one who was cursed.”“It all started with my mother, the moon goddess.” Jade let out a laugh, it sounded sad and mocking at the same time.“My mother was the moon goddess, adored as the progenitor of the werewolf pack. She was a true spirit and a goddess.”.“She was supposed to have a good life, a life filled with people who worshipped the very land she stepped on. However, she decided to fall for a common Beta in the werewolf tribe.”“The Beta and my mother fell in love and in a heated moment of passion when their hearts beat in sync, they…they rubbed their bodies together all night.”“Woah.” I could not stop myself from sighing in amazement. “Cayden's grandfather really had guts.”“A goddess is referred to as a goddess because she is supposed to be untainted and a saint. Her very name was considered
Carmen's pov“Bear the responsibility? Did Cayden ever sign up for any of these?” I snapped at Jade, my fury for that goddess I had never seen burned brighter than my hatred for Lana.You must be joking!No! The gods must be crazy.“Carmen!” Jade looked at me. “The gods are not to be blamed.”“Yeah yeah yeah.” I rolled my eyes at her. I hated her for being too weak and taking bullshit.What sort of a mother would do that to her own child? Certainly not me.“You keep whining and fawning over them,what did that get you? I bet they think you are a fool they can easily manipulate.”“That's not…. that's not what? Look at Lana and tell me that I am wrong! Lana does not bend over for them and she gets pardoned by all of them.”“Lana has broken more than ten serious laws. She believed the harbinger just let you do it, wiped out the entire royalty of the nightshade pack, made Cayden a cursed child, came back to life, destroyed her own pack, now she's trying to kill an unborn child and bring
Carmen's pov“No one has the right to judge me.” The arrogance and stubbornness was engraved deep in my soul. I could accept anything but not the disdainful and cruel voice of a god I am not even sure has eyes.I would never accept it,never!As I thought of it,I stepped again onto the stairway leading to the unknown. The weight of the two lives still hung heavily on my back like a burden I could never shake off.Burden?Good.Bad. With each step I took, at least one emotion that I had not felt before would pop up in my mind.Like a parasite, negative and inferior thoughts clouded my brain.The words that I should accept that I am wrong and admit defeat,stop climbing the stairs and be sentenced to a pit with no reincarnation kept dancing around my ears.“Why so afraid?” I laughed mocking at the electronic voice. “You dare me to start climbing. Now,I have started,you want me to stop?”“You probably did not think that I would hold on till now? You know,now I am really curious,what ex
Carmen's pov“Sit tight.” Lana gave me a mocking pat on my back. That part brought me back to reality.The ugly reality that I am stuck here and that I would probably die here.A place so abandoned and contaminated that my body would probably never be found.I clutched my stomach and leaned in protectively, as if I wanted to feel my baby.Tears welled up in my eyes as I touched my belly, the slight steady heartbeat of my baby resounding in my ears.As I thought of my Abby in regret, a face formed in my mind…Cayden's.For my baby, I felt sorry and disappointed in myself that I could not even bring him out safely to this world. I felt hatred for jade for bringing me back to life just to use me as a tool and I felt even more hatred and an urge to kill Lana who was about to kill my child.Worst, I hated myself for bringing my child into this world just to lead him to his death twice?However, for Cayden, I felt a soul wrenching pain. I felt more than disappointed in myself, I felt regret

Carmen's POVThe walk back to the museum was painfully silent. Cayden seemed so lost in thoughts, but for some reason, it felt like he was subtly protecting me, by always being a step behind me.We finally reached the end of our mentally draining journey, to see the guards already stationed, waitin
Carmen's POVThe nightshade pack always looked beautiful during funerals. The entire place looked even more fanciful than my wedding.The silver flames danced across the black iron torches while ceremonial drums echoed endlessly through the grounds like the heartbeat of some ancient creatures sleep
