Michaels povThe Lunar eclipse was near which meant that the ceremonies was about to take place around which was for entertainment and in honor of the moon. The ceremony was made by our father to try and made us forget about our curse which was going to manifest right on the lunar eclipse, sometimes it did work, sometimes it didn’t. I admit I loved the performance and how the ceremonies bring the pack together as one, the dancing, the chanting and especially the fighting. In every ceremony I and Micheal was made to fight with one thousand man from different tribes and it was a match to the last man standing, everyone had to fight for the victory of their pack. We fought to death, it was like a sacrifice we did to please the moon goddess and secretly hope she reverses the curse as she received the ritual of dead men.We started playing this ritual at the age of five, so when other children our age were playing with toy cars we were busy preparing to kill and fight against hundreds and

Anthony's PovI could felt the attention of the crowds on the ground battle field, the screams of battle echoed in my ears, surrounded by seven men circling me ready to kill, I turned to see Micheal crippling a man, someone ran towards me ready to attack using my distraction to his advantage, I caught him before his claws could get any closer to my face with my claws on his neck, I dig deeper into his neck breaking his bones as I pulled his neck from his body in a spit second. The others ran towards me trying to attack at the same time, spinning around I slit their neck at the same time and blood splashed all over. We had reduced drastically, I walked over dead corpses on the floor to attack and kill, it had just been one hour and fresh smell of blood spread around the air like a sweet aroma, “ The fun is almost over”, Micheal said as he came and stood beside.“ No, the fun is yet to start”, everyone in the battle that was still in the battlefield stopped fighting each other and tur

Why did it always rain after a battle? The pit-patter of rain that clicked like nails against the big windows made me want to snuggle close to the Alpha until I was almost purring.“Come along now Elena, you’ll have your fair share of my brother once he’s all healed up.” Sophie laughed, tugging at my hand as the wolf nurses shuffled in and out of the Grand room, holding towels and herbs that smelled like jasmine.Anthony’s hazel-green eyes met mine and I felt my cheeks warm with heat at the smoldering look he gave me. He looked like a freaking King! Sitting with his back against the huge gold bed frame and his wild black hair falling down his broad shoulders.No…he didn't look ill at all. I could tell from the slight lift of his full pink lips that he was watching my discomfort with amusement.Damn these twins and the way they liked torturing me!“I'm fine Sophie, really-” Anthony tried to interject, his deep baritone rumbling through the space in a way that made a delicious shiver

ELENA’S POVI could still feel the rhythmic thump of my heart hammering away in my chest when Nancy left and I collapsed into the cold floor.The icy chill seeped into my bones as I cried my heart out, wondering what I had done to deserve such vileness from the one woman who I had hoped would like me.I must have passed out on the floor because I awoke with a start to the sound of fists pounding away on the redwood door of my quarters.It was cold…freezing. I glanced around to see that the fire that had been crackling in the stone fireplace had been snuffed out by the cold wind.“Elena…” The woman’s shrill voice came again and I fought the grogginess that clouded my head, glancing around to see that it had gotten considerably darker outside, with the moon only hidden behind thick grey clouds.“Elena! Are you there? Come on! I can smell you!” Sophia’s shrill scolding came again and I jumped up, gasping when I realized the music I was hearing was from the dinner party.Oh my goodness! I

ELENA’s POVEverything had happened so fast. Everything had happened so fast and yet the world seemed to have slowed to a crawl when I realized Sophie was nowhere to be found. No…she was not in the banquet hall at all! The blonde, delightful woman I knew would have bulldozed her way to my side the minute the lights went out, but it had been more than a few minutes now, and I had only the cold and the hammering of my heart in my chest to keep me company.“What’s happening? Silver? What's going on?” I hissed frantically to the chief guard who was herding the crowd away from the balcony where the rain lashed relentlessly.His bright eyes found mine and I watched him open his mouth before his gaze snapped to a figure behind me and I turned around to see Anthony’s scowling face.“I need you to turn on the backup generators. Someone messed with the fucking lights.” He growled, and the chief guard bowed respectfully before hurrying toward the huge double doors that led into the banquet hal
