Chapter 170- Elnora POV
Blow after blow; we watch as the pair of them struggle. "How is he still standing?" I link with Harmony. "Magic, they have witches on his side that are keeping his strength up.” "Can we break it?" I beg. "No, not unless we find the witches and the magic is not coming from here." Harmony sounds defeated. "I cannot live on without him.” "You will have to, for your children." Harmony moves to my side and takes my hand as we watch in horror. Lawler is beginning to lose, and I have had enough. How can I stop this? I ask myself.
We watch as his father lifts his hand one last time, and as he does, I know this will be the blow that knocks Lawler unconscious. "STOP!" Tavin demands as he walks forward. My attention doesn't leave Lawler and his position, but the command stops the blow. "You are to remove yourself from his bo
Chapter 171- Elnora POV Everyone has taken their seats and turned their attention to us. “We have learned within our Kingdom that for every problem we have, there is a silver lining. Once again, our King and Queen prevailed, and with their victory, we gained a new King and Queen in training. A gift to our Kingdom that we all thank you for granting to us.” Sabastian bows to all of us before continuing. “When Lawler began seeing you, Elnora, in the human world during the cover of night, he started changing for the better. He started becoming the King he had always wanted to become. Then when you entered our world and completed your mark, you granted him the strength needed to be the best version of King he could be. A gift he has granted your son and our future King. It is my honor to welcome you into our Kingdom not only as our Queen and friend but as the wife of my best friend.” &nbs
Hello wonderful readers!It has been a privilege to write for you these past months. Your continued support brought me joy and the strength to bring you this book. This book has allowed me to show my children how determination looks. I am going to tell you a secret that I told my children and my family while writing this book- "I am writing for the one person reading right now. If they read for a day or read all of the chapters, I will finish it for them." This gave me the push I needed to continue. When I felt like I was slowing down or getting tired, I thought of you. Thank you for being there on my feed showing me that you were reading. I needed that support, and you gave it to me even if it were only a few moments.As it has ended I have decided to ask you, my reader, if you would be interested in reading a shorter sequel. You can let me know in a short comment, and I will happily begin working on one for you. Stories are a wonderful way to escape the world a
Chapter 1- Elnora POV The surrounding darkness comforts me in ways that the sun and my daily life could never compare. I feel alive and free as I look upon the old oak tree in such a beautiful forest full of wonders. Slowly I turn around to find I am not alone in the dark. The man standing before me gives me a sense of peace and security mixed with an emotion I have not felt in many years, love. His steps are agonizingly slow as he approaches me. I find myself speaking to him, "You and me forever." My words filled with love and compassion for this mystery man. "Forever," he confirms. As his words conclude, I feel a sharp electrifying pain on the side of my neck—fear not rearing its ugly head, only satisfaction of the event that has taken place. Total and utter bliss has taken over my soul as my blood seeps into his mouth. Rolling over in bed, I acknowledge the early morning sun peeking through my window. "Already?" I question myself as I slowly sit up and stretch. Ru
Chapter 2- Elnora POV "Mom?" Talvin's voice calls as I come down the hall, and my heart sinks. Something is wrong. I can hear it in his tone. I sprint to the door and nearly slam into them as they are backing inside the door, gazing at something I cannot see through the wall. "Boys, are you ok? What's wrong?" I follow their gaze out the door to our front gate as I get to them. Through the blanket of rain, I can see a man stands just inside our gate wrapped in a slicker and wearing a cowboy hat. "Who are you? What do you want?" I ask, putting myself between my children and this man. "You already know who I am" He speaks with a German accent. "I do not know you.” "You do; you just do not remember me. In time you will remember me. The rain is slowing. I will see you soon." He announces before he turns to leave. "You will not see me soon. You stay away from us!" I bark at his back as he closes my gate. "We wil
Chapter 3- Talvin's POV I tried to take all of the anger out of my voice when I spoke to my mother. I really tried. "The problem is," I must talk myself down from screaming at my mother in her current state, I urge myself. My anger has me seeing red, and I must try and control myself, but I knew that I now needed to tell her something. I made a mistake and lead with some form of words, letting her know something was, in fact, happening. "There is more." These few words were all I could give her at this moment. I couldn't continue without my anger bubbling to the surface and taking over. If that were to happen, I would break more than the trust my family had in me. I must keep quiet for now. I need to think about everything with a clear mind. I can not let myself jump to conclusions in this situation. Sitting back in my chair, I waited
Chapter 4- Elnora POV Merrick and Talvin are refusing to speak another word until Fulton comes back with the Doctor. No matter how hard I beg them to talk to me, they will not. They are only giving me a look of pure disappointment. The look made my heart sink, wondering what I have done that hurt them so badly. What can I do to fix the situation at hand? “Hello Elnora, my name is Doctor Kent; how are you feeling?” His voice is soothing over me. “I feel a bit drained and confused. Other than that, I think I am fine. What happened?” I watched the flash behind his eyes when he realized I had no idea what was going on. “From a medical standpoint, I will tell you what I know.” He mentions as he casually walks to the foot of my bed to keep me from straining my eyes to the side. “When you arrived, we drew your bl
Chapter 5- Fulton’s POV The moment I looked into the eyes of the man in the rain, I knew who he was and why he was here. I could feel Talvin tense up next to me, and I knew he had dealings with this man in the past. This man wasn’t here for him this time, nor was he here for Merrick. Merrick had dabbled a little more into reading than he thought. He was on the verge of finding out about the hidden side when he finally gave up. I could feel his uncertainty of the man through his stance and how the air changed around us. I, on the other hand, knew it all. For the past six months, I had been eavesdropping on my father’s late-night phone calls. He would wait until Mom was asleep before slipping from bed and making his way out onto the porch. I, on the other hand, would hear him and took to my computer. I would pull up the surveillance cameras and
Chapter 6- Fulton’s POVThe decision was easy. I knew that if anything happened to me, Mom would never forgive him. He would be done forever, and at this moment, I wanted him to be out of our lives forever. Stepping over the threshold was more complicated than it had ever been. Fear radiated from my body, and I could feel my body shaking as I took my place in front of the man. “You are a courageous young man. We need more men like you in our ranks.” “Thanks, but I don’t think I would want to do that.” My voice is betraying my emotions. He nodded curtly at my words before choosing his following words carefully. “This is simple. You will take my hand. I will give you my word. Once I finish talking, you can either accept or decline my word for any reason. You may state that you would like anythin
