“Stop; please stop!” Virgil takes his hands from Hayley’s grip in tears. The memories have left him emotional. Hayley exhales and allows him the break. She watches him pitifully in silence.“It’s too much…” he sobs. “I miss her a lot.”“So what happened?” Hayley did not seem satisfied.

She remembered that after the priest threatened to take away Virgil and her memories, Virgil escaped and the priest hit her hard with his magic stick before she could transform or retaliate and that was how she passed out. She tried to test herself to see if she could remember anything for fear of being amnesic. Luckily, she could remember Raul, he was the first person she could think of at the moment.

She finds May, Modi, and the priest seated at a round table looking sober. “Did somebody die?” she speaks up to alert them of her presence just in case she was the reason they were sober. Immediately, they turn to face her in surprise

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN… (A Moment of Truth I) Lucas was excited as he celebrated his newborn son’s first birthday. A year ago Lucas’ son, Rob was born and he had all the lands know of it but did not celebrate it. He decided to celebrate this one to mark his first birthday. The party was well announced as alphas from all over the mainlands showed up bearing gifts in celebration of the arrival of the newborn. Modi happened to be there. He did not quite know Lucas but he had come with a friend who was also an alpha somewhere in the East wing. The East wing was segregated from the other regions because they had humans living amongst them. They had the humans as their slaves and were the envy of most neighboring regions. The humans were made to fight their battles with them and some even could transform. Modi was friends with the alpha there as they were both kinds of similar.
