Selene did not move an inch from where Massimo left her. She was unsure if he was telling the truth when he said he knows Archibald, but she was also deathly afraid of the creatures lurking within the dark of the forest. She saw enough monsters tonight to last her a lifetime. If she had only known Perseus intended to make her bait, she highly thinks she may have not stood up for Elise’s life. Being tied and leered on by monsters – most of which she never knew existed – was an experience worse than anything in imaginable. She was fuming with anger with him for endangering her life for his entertainment. It was unfair. She agreed to be a plaything, but he did not say anything about this. She was starting to miss Archibald. She missed the feeling of warmth whenever he was near. She sure hoped Massimo was true to his words, and that she will see him again. But she was not entirely sure of what Massimo is. She saw him nimbly fly even without wings. She read stories of wit

Archibald woke up a little light headed. He held on his head when he sat on the side of his bed as his vision spun. He somehow felt weaker than when he slept. He sat motionless for a while, gathering himself, before slowly standing up. He looked around and figured he must be in a medical ward of some kind. A curtain was acting like a wall covering the bed from general view. He parted the cloth and was immediately caught off-guard by the sight of Perseus sitting on a bed beside his. “What are you doing here?” he asked. “You tell me,” he replied. “I just woke up in here. Last time I remembered, I was out in the woods, fighting some flying freak.” He raised his arms in front of him and stared curiously on them. He looked confused and equally exhausted as him. “Where is Selene?” he asked Perseus with a piercing glare. “I don’t know where she is right now,” he started. “But last time I know, the flying freak stole her from the cabin and hid her som

Following the young alpha in secret was no easy task for Genn. He had been a scout for a long time, and this by far was the hardest thing he ever did, next to keeping his wife in check. There were many times when he thought they were found out as they lurk kilometers away from him. He was sure they will inevitably die if he ever did. Lucian’s orders might spare them, but he was not betting on it. They saw how he silently infiltrated the high walls of the human city, before coming back out with the Edevane woman. They scampered away to avoid detection, before they followed him to the isolated cabin by the river. They then watched as he tied the poor woman on the roof. “What do you suppose he will do to her?” he asked Evan beside him. “I dunno. Maybe he’ll burn her down. Or…” he looked at the full moon. “Ravage her.” Genn nodded. “Maybe he will toy with her first before killing her,” he agreed. “That sounds about right.” The full moon was tingling his s

“Good morning,” Massimo greeted as he peaked his head through the tent. Lucian nodded at him in acknowledgement. “How are their wounds?” he asked about his injured comrades lying unconscious on the cots. “They’re not healing properly,” he replied. “If this continues, they may die before sun down. Their injuries are more severe than we initially thought.” He was baffled, as was his companions, about the state they were in. It’s unusual for their kind to have troubles healing wounds, more so when they have ample time to recoup. “Let me see,” Massimo offered as he approached his wounded men. His companions eyed him with distrust as he walked, but he did not seem to mind. They flinched when Massimo reached out a hand on one of the injured and pulled on his blanket to reveal the entirety of the injury. He nodded to himself and looked back at Lucian. “Allow me to fix this,” he said before mumbling incomprehensible words and hovering his hand over the wounds. Gray colored s
