Too Late To Claim Me 119. The Shadowmoon Emissaries
AriaThe tension in the room was suffocating.Marcus stood frozen, his face had gone completely pale, his hands were clenched into fists at his sides. Remus was staring at him with an expression I couldn't place a finger on.And I was caught in the middle, holding my sleeping son, and trying to make sense of the chaos that had just descended upon us."Marcus," Remus repeated, his voice sharp. "What's going on?""I don't know," Marcus said, but his voice was hollow, unconvincing. "I don't know why they're here.""You do." Remus took a step toward him. "You know exactly why they're here. Don't you?"Before Marcus could respond, the door burst open again, and this time, it was Theron—the head guard—who entered, his expression grim."Alpha, they're demanding to see the Beta. They say it's urgent.""Who is their leader?""She says her name is Lyra. She claims to be an emissary of the Shadowmoon Pack, and she says she has business with Marcus that cannot wait."Marcus flinched at the name,

RemusI waited for sometime and then followed them to thehealer's quartersIt wasbustling with activity when I made my way downstairs. The pack's medical team had been roused from their beds, and were examining Caelum while Aria hovered nearbywith her fingers twisted together,and her face pale with worry.Marcus was standing guard at the door, his expression was tense. He watched me approach with wary eyes, and I noticed the way heclenched his fist by his side."Alpha," he said. "The perimeter is secure. There are no sign of the attackers.""They're long gone
Too Late To Claim Me 117. The Question
Remus"Ask her who the father of that child is."The words from the cloaked figure to me, hung in the air just like a blade that was suspended mid-fall.I turned around to ask what he meant, but the rooftop was empty.They had vanished. Simply... dissolved into the shadows as if they had never been there from the beginning. The other figures who had emerged from the darkness and surrounded us, were gone. There was nothing up there on the roof except for the wind howling through the night."What the..." Marcus spun around, his eyes scanned the darkness. "Where did they go?""Search the grounds!" I shouted down to the guards. "Search every inch of this territory! Find them!"But even as I gave out the order, I knew that it was futile. Whoever these people were had planned this down to the very last detail.I turned back to where Aria was still huddled on the small balcony, with her body still curled protectively around the child. Caelum. His face was buried against her chest, and his t
Too Late To Claim Me 116. The Almost Fall
"Mummy." My son screamed.Time slowed to a crawl before my eyes.I saw Caelum's body as he slipped sideways, the ropes that had held him was now dangling uselessly from the tilting post. His small hands reach out, and grasps at air, his eyes were wide with terror. It was as if the edge of the roof was rushing toward him, and the four-story drop beyond it.And then I saw him.Remus.He came from nowhere, his body was a blur of motion as he launched himself across the trembling rooftop with his hand reaching forward to catch Caelum's wrist just as the boy began to fall, his was grip tight and desperate."I've got you!" Remus shouted, his voice was strained with effort. "I've got you, little one!"But the roof was still shaking, and the stones had begun to crack and shift beneath our feet. I watched helpless as Remus's footing slip, and saw him lurch toward the edge, then Caelum's small body swing out over the abyss."No!" I screamed, and started running across the trembling rooftop to

My whole world narrowed down to a single, horrifying point.Caelum. My son. My baby. He was tied to the edge of the roof that's four stories above the ground, his small body swayed in the wind like just like a leaf that's about to be torn from its branch."Mommy," he called again, and his voice, that sweet, innocent voice of my little boy that had laughed with joy over building blocks and bedtime stories was trembling with terror."Mommy, help me. Please."I don't even remember when I moved. I only remember that I was running. One moment I was standing at the window, frozen by fear, and the next moment, I was running through the corridors, my feet was barely touching the ground, and my heart was pounding so violently that I thought it would burst out from my chest."ARIA, STOP!"I heard Marcus's voice from behind me, but I didn't stop. How can I stop when my son was out there, dangling in the air and can fall to his death at anytime. My son was in a mortal danger and every second th

My heart stopped.I was already running before I even knew what I was doing, my feet carriedme through the winding corridors, and past the startled servants and confused guards, toward the source of the shout."Aria, wait!" Marcus was behind me, but I didn't bother to slow down. I couldnot bear to. I had to get there and seefor myself.The voice had come from the east wing it's the oldest part of the compound, that had been built by my grandfather's grandfather, it's the part that had been sealed off years ago and has been left to gather dust and decay.I burst through the door at the end of the corridor and found myse
