Astrid POV
Pacing in my room, her words kept ringing in my head, as my heart tightened in pains and anger. How could moon goddess be this wicked? How could she think of pairing Khalid with a rag? How could she do this to me, knowing how much I love and really want to be with Khalid? I’ve spent my whole life, nursing feelings for this man, I’ve spent my whole life, loving him, giving him my all, I gave him everything, my heart, body and soul, I lived for him, my world revolves around him, but what happen? Some rag want to come and take away from me, what I suffered so much for? Some piece of trash want to sabotage my happiness? That’s never going to happen, not when I’m still alive. I need to do something as soon as possible, I need to correct this great mistake, which moon goddess have made, I’m sure there’s something missing here…
Alpha Khalid POV
I think it’s high time I do something about this whole shit, I think it’s high time I find out what this whole drama is all about, these feelings, these pains and everything, it’s high time I find out about it.
It’s still early in the morning, and I’m still laying on my bed weakly, staring up at the ceiling, heaving sighs almost every seconds. I’m so damn tired of the whole shit, I’m so sick of everything.
Letting out a last deep sigh, I sprang up to a sitting position, and swung my legs down the bed, before getting on my feet, after which I walked sluggishly into the bathroom.
These days, I just feel like being alone, I don’t just want anyone disturbing me. Stepping into the bathroom, I stripped out of my clothes, and got under the shower, before turning it on, as I let the water fall freely on my body.
After I was done having my bath, I wore my robe and walked into my room. In a few minutes, I was all dressed up.
I’ve made up my mind that I’m going to visit the seer, and hear what she has to say. If she dares to speak to me in that stupid parables again, I may not be able to control my anger.
After I was done, I teleported to the cave, which was dark as always, even if it was daylight.
“Greetings, your highness.” Her voice echoed in the whole place, and I looked around, trying to see if I could get a glimpse of her, but as always, there wasn’t any sign of her, so I gave up. Besides, I’m not here to see her face, but for some important thing.
“Who is my mate?” I roared, burning in rage. I’m not in for some shit today, just one annoying word from her, and I’ll make sure I feed her corpse to the vultures. I don’t care if she’s invisible, that’s her problem to deal with, coz nobody can be invisible to me, I’ll sure find and deal with her.
“Don’t make me repeat myself.” I roared angrily, as anger surged through me, my eyes darkened, my blood boiling in anger, my hair were now standing like blades, I felt my demon, trying to take over me, and I didn’t bother trying to stop him, knowing the pains it will cause me, if I try to. My fingers started growing into claws, as my breath quickened, now coming out in a grunt. My eyes glowed, sending light to every corner of the cave, and in split seconds, everything became clear. Sitting on a big stone, is woman, who’s hair were all golden in color, her eyes were pure gold, her body, as white as snow, she look like she’s twenty, but I could see through her, she’s lived for over five hundred years.
My body radiated heat, and soon, the whole place started burning. This is why I don’t like unleashing my demon, he’s always difficult to handle, whenever he’s angry, he’s always causing havoc whenever he’s angry.
“You highness calm….”
Before she could finish her words, I screamed out loud, emitting a violent wind from my mouth, which sent the whole place shaking violently, with stones, falling on the ground, and in the next seconds, laying on the ground, is the woman.
“Are you going to tell me now?” That’s my demon speaking, as he forced me to start walking towards her, and with every step we took, all I see, is fear, written all over her.
“Lu… Lucien.” She called weakly, and my demon halt abruptly. My demon squeaked inside me, followed by a grunt, which he meant that he was trying to restrain himself. For the first time in my existence, I felt my demon, trying to restrain himself, for the first time, my demon was trying to control himself, what the heck is going on?…
Octavia POV
I felt my stomach tightened in pains, my vision became blurry, and all effort to keep my eyes opened, proved abortive. I know this is the height of it all, I know this is the height where I can take this torture, I can’t make it out of here alive, coz my soul is already leaving me. My wolf, who had been protecting me at times all these while, is already weak, and dying slowly, I’m left alone to fight this battle, and this is the height I can take.
Tears slid down my cheeks, as I remembered mother’s words, it breaks my heart, that I’m going to break my promise to her, I feel so terrible, that I am not going to be able to hold on to my promise to her, but it’s not my fault, I’ve really tried to do this…, I’ve tried to keep to my promise, but I’m handicapped here, I’m dying slowly, I don’t think I can take this anymore.
Slowly, my eyes closed on their own, as I felt my strength draining, and that was all I remember…
