A high-pitched shrilling scream erupted from Miras' mouth. She turned over to her side and clutched the flesh that shielded her shattering heart. Pain as she had never felt before consumed her, and her breathing became laboured while her eyes sprang wide open. The crowd went dead silent.The guards who stood on the podium next to her ran for their lives, and Selena hissed with disgust."Witch!" She snarled. "The bitch is a fucking witch!" Rage, heartache and despair grasped at the branches of Miras' stilled heart. She had sensed Alpha Bastions' pain and heard him take his final breath. If she was going to save him and Clohe, she only had a short window to do it, and she acquired a great deal of energy to do so. She fed off the raw emotions that had her seeing crimson as she broke through the barrier that was holding her back from being the Blessed One.Her fiery amber irises were replaced with eyes whiter than pearls as she drew from her source of energy, and the gold-plated coll
A surge of hot tingles caressed Clohes' feverish flesh as Zebs' tongue licked at the perfect seams of her lips. Silently, he implored her to open her mouth and let him in through the soft strokes of his tongue. As her mouth wantonly parted, his tongue which felt like velvet and tasted like heaven massaged hers. Her entire body lit up. Never had she ever experienced a kiss like the one she was encountering with the Alpha King, and she hoped that his lips were the only lips she would get the pleasure of tasting till her last dying breath. Lost in their private little bubble of elation, Mira continued to kiss Alpha Bastion on the lips. The soft glow that encircled them imploded and sent out a brilliant beam of light into the heavens. Alpha Bastions' eyes slowly opened, his arms snaked around Miras' tiny frame and he crushed her to him. He felt better than he could ever imagine; stronger and more alive than before. The kiss shared between them was brief as Mira pulled away and s
The full moon settled high in the luxurious sky. She was almost lost between the black waves in the atmosphere accompanied by the odd scatter of stars here and there. What should have felt like a win for Mira, didn't. She felt like she had bitten off more than she could chew. Only a few days ago she went from losing her father to being left completely alone in a world she had no true wisdom about. Then, to stumbling across Pack Moon Stone territory as a rogue while running away from the Corbette twins, and now, she has her own pack. A pack she knows nothing about. "How are you holding up?" Alpha Bastion asked Mira as her gaze was fixated on the flickering flames from the bonfire. She smiled as she exhaled harshly out of her nostrils. "How am I holding up? I think it should be me asking you that question?" A faint smile tugged at one corner of her mouth. "Honestly," He sighed while he sat down beside her on the wooden log. "I have never felt more alive. It's like I'm stronger
THE ALPHA KING began to sprint in the direction of the sound of the piercing screams. His twin hearts pounded in his chest, his throat burned with each breath he took, and he was unable to shake the impression that they were doomed. His feet skidded across the icy grass as he came to an abrupt standstill, and a savage snarl resonated from the back of his throat. He bared his teeth as the hairs on the back of his neck stood up and his body furiously shook. With his senses heightened, under the moonlight, he could see exactly who had stumbled upon Snow Valley Pack, and it made his blood boil. His eyes turned black as the rage took over him. He could sense Clohe standing behind him, her breathing became laboured and he could sense the overwhelming emotion of fear that engulfed her. As Clohe touched his lower arm, he snapped his head in her direction, "Leave." He commanded. "This is not your fight." Clohe snatched her hand back feeling slightly offended, and she placed it over her
Thehmukss chuckled darkly unbothered by Cloves' attempts to make him shiver with fear. His gaze never abandoned Miras', he was fascinated by her greatly, and he yearned to drink every last drop of her blood. He licked his lips with anticipation as he could only imagine how sweet she would taste. He slightly tilted her head to the side as he put the delicate column of her neck on full display, and his heart rapidly hammered in his chest when he concluded that she had not been marked. The sky cackled louder above him but he wasn't phased in the slightest. He ran the flat surface of his tongue over his sharp teeth as they started to ache. Mira disliked the look in the Egyptian leader's eyes as he continued to stare at her as if she were an entire meal. The tips of her fingers began to throb, they felt like they were on fire, and she had the urgent need to imitate her mother's motions, but she felt immobilised as if she had fallen into an abyss. Thehmukss gently wiped Miras' hair
As her mother drew closer, Mira extended her quivering hand for her to take. Instantaneously after their hands touched, a brilliant light emanated from their hands, and a burst of energy coursed through their pulsating veins. Mira jerked her elbow back and pulled her mother in for a tight embrace with tears brimming her eyes. "We have to burn them," her mother whispered in her ear. "Their hearts need to be ripped out of their chest so it gives us time to burn their bodies before they rise again." As Clove pulled back from their embrace, she cradled her daughter's face in her hands as she looked deeply into her eyes. She slowed time down, implanting the memories she shared with Mira and her father before she was taken away from them. "You have always been on my mind, not an earla day passed where I didn't think about you my beautiful child," She whispered with tears pooling in her eyes. "You look so much like your father, you have his courage and the same rhythm of his beating h
The Alpha King remained completely still.He was too afraid to make the slightest movement in case it brought him back to reality. A reality where Mira and Clove set his Clohe; his mate on fire.Looking at the smoke that was rising from the ground, his breathing became shallow and his twin hearts beat erratically.He couldn't understand why Mira and Clove would do such a thing.The rage had never left his body, but it was currently taking a backseat as he tried to remind himself that a Nightengale Warrior does not harm a female unless he is lost to the darkness entirely. The lines between light and dark were currently blurred. It was solely up to him to decide whether he was going to allow himself to cross over to the darkness or remain in the light with his dignity still intact.He begged for a miracle and for the heavens and the Moon Goddess to have compassion on Clohe since she was young and had so much to live for; he desired to be the one to show her the world, the universe, and
By the time morning rolled over and the sun made her appearance. The Egyptians had finally been defeated. Clove was on her knees with her head in her hands as she sobbed, and the air was still with silence. With Clohe by his side, the Alpha King was going around and healing those who could be cured on the spot. SHADOW came to a crashing halt in front of Mira, who was on her side and surrounded by a charred circle. He shifted into his human form. He knew she wasn't dead because he could still feel her, but the connection between them was very faint, and it caused him to tremble with fear. He entered the circle, knelt, grabbed Mira in his arms, and carried her away from the ashes of Thehmukss, which were being swept away by the wind. He carried her to the wooden log and he sat down, crushing her to him. Clove sniffled as she raised her head and watched Alpha Bastion carry her daughter away. She shook her head, wiped the tears that stained her face with heartache and got to her
