As the earth pulled them down with so much force. Water was the first one to let go of the hands holding other council members to the circle. And Coal followed right after Water. They both maneuvered their ground-controlling powers and made it out of the hole before it buried them. Leaving Aero and Doom behind in the rubble that was now swallowing them. As they got to the ground floor, Water shouted at Coal in the mind link. ‘HOW IS HE DOING THAT? YOU SAID HE HAD NOT MASTERED HIS POWERS.’ Coal answered Water as he shook his head in terror, looking at Luciano. ‘Apparently, I was wrong. I was deceived into believing that because he did not initiate James into that pack, he had not mastered his powers yet. From the looks of it. He has the Sucre mighty powers now. And we are doomed.’ Coal spoke in the mind linked to Water as both the young men looked at Luciano, who was now standing in front of them in his human form. He was now completely naked from his shift. They looked up at the h

“WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY DOOM? DON'T YOU ALL HAVE A LIMIT TO TRYING TO CAUSE PAIN TO SOMEONE YOU ALREADY HURT SO MUCH? IS THERE NO WAY FOR ALL OF YOU TO STOP? HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU ALL PLAN ON KEEPING UP WITH HURTING ME? YOU WANT TO PLAN ON KIDNAPING KEIRAH AND BRING HER IN HERE JUST LIKE YOU DID WITH ME!” Luciano shouted in so much anger as he turned to Doom. With Luciano's words, Coal stood still, even while still burning with wildfire all over in so much pain, but he still stood through it. Doom stood still, too. Frozen in place. Like someone who had a bucket of cold water splashed on him. Because none of them had thought Luciano's powers had developed to a point that he could now hear their thoughts through the pack mind link. Because contrary to what they were used to. They were supposed to have access to his thoughts first, but at the very moment, none of them had heard his thoughts. But he could hear their thoughts. And Luciano's thoughts were kept secure away from everyone in

LUCIANO’S POV At the very moment, true to my command, Coal pulled his own heart out. Warriors under his spell stopped feeling his effect on them. And everyone watched as my eyes traveled from the emotionless Coal's body that lay in front of me to Aero. I could feel without a doubt that there was not any humanity or patience left in me. I was a complete animal with nothing human, completely consumed by animal instincts. The blood, the control of their minds, the deaths made me feel good. I rejoiced in their misery. I was flying high above in ecstasy at how much fear I was bringing to them.I hated the feeling of it all but there was nothing I could do. I kept pushing more to make them fear me more. Submit their willpower to me. “Have you finished trying to find Keirah? Where is my uncle hiding her?” I roared at Aero. And Aero stood still as if sure he was the next one online to die. He did not beg like Coal or all the pack members crying and asking for forgiveness in my mind. Nor d

“You are too excited for my liking..." She smiles before she continues speaking. "No, keep your hopes down…We know nothing about what transpired for her to end up marrying Erede. We have not found her yet. But we have found a way that might lead us to her. James traced the burner phone he used to communicate with Erede and it's still active. “We have had these discussions for the last two days. And you are aware of his position on this. He doesn’t want you close to her if she is still married to someone else. He believes that is inhuman. And I respect that. “He had refused to be part of this. He did not want to call Erede, nor did he want to tell you about it. But we came to a compromise for him to give me the burner phone number. To help you with the night pain. So, make it count and be nice.” She dials the phone, puts on the loudspeaker, and hands him the phone standing beside him. Luciano nods faintly, waiting impatiently as the phone call goes through. “Hello! James…” Erede’s v

Maria gasps, her hand covering her mouth. James’s jaw clenches, a lot of anger visible on his face as he continues to watch the announcement from Don Mauro being broadcast on live TV. “Today, I am thrilled to share with you… Something…something we at Solana Empire believe is the biggest breakthrough to happen to humanity. “Our first and biggest invention. A collaboration with the Cannibal Hospital to bring you the first ever medical-approved biochips, providing all human beings with an infinite life. “We at Solana proudly bring your neutrophil biochips.

We have got you a guarantee of getting well soon. We have got you the cure.
