Nadia POV
My brain was almost blank; I couldn't figure out what my name is or how I even came about here. However the demeanor of the man standing beside me, showed he wasn't an evil person."You can't remember your name?" He asked."Yes. I don't know who I am." I watched him walk up to the lamp and reduce it's brightness. "Please how did I get here? Who are you? What is this place?" Several questions flying around and while I hoped that answers would be given, I began to wonder if I could grasp the things he was going to say.""You were laying unconscious beside a river and I had picked you up, seeing you were much alive." I tried remembering the scene he had just said in my head, but it was totally blank."Who are you?" He smiled and sat down beside my bed, his eyes not leaving mine."My name is Dante and I happen to hunt down Werewolves." While the last statement seemed to be familiar, I couldn't get a perfect pictorial excerpt of the statement."What are Werewolves?" He raised his eye brow and it made me lower my head down."They are creatures of unfathomable strength. They lose great risk to us who are the humans and this is why I have chosen to hunt them down." Neither of his statement made sense to me, a that mattered at this point was getting to know who I truly was."Consider we can't get a name for you, how about I call you one?" There was no doubt about it, I needed a name to be called and having no memory of my previous name irked me alot."Lilith should be fine?" I found the name quite amazing."Thank you very much." He nodded and got up to his feet. He stretched his hands forward and I took it."Let's get you outside so you can see what's going on." He indicated, and i forcefully pulled myself out of the bed. Once outside the hut, it was entirely dark, the stars were out shining bright and the moon rays were unfazed by the darkness."This is our hut and as hunters, our duty is to protect our city from the ravaging beasts." He had a slight tone of annoyance in his words."Do you think I may be Werewolf?" I asked and for a moment, he turned and stared at me for a long time, eyes not looking away from each other."You are no wolf Lilith. I believe it would have shown the moment I had picked you up from the riverside. Whoever had been after you, is most likely a Werewolf and apparently you seem to have been running away from them." His statement didn't sum up in my head owing to the fact that it was blank."Anyways, that's enough seeing for the night. You should get enough sleep, by dawn I would introduce you to the rest of the crew." I nodded and he helped me back into the hut. I felt sleepy indeed and right before my eyes could shut down, I heard a silent whisper."Good night Lillth."**Day came faster than I have ever imagined. Rising up from the bed, I noticed the lamp had gone out. Dante had picked his gun out of the room; the same guns that made me scared of him. I knew at some point, I was going to remember who I was. However, I made a resolution to stay with him for the main time.The door suddenly opened and this time, I could have a proper look at Dante. He was a fine young man and was slightly built. His steps was precise and he had this aura that screamed confidence."Good morning Lillith." He said with a smile. "I am presuming the night was amazing for you?" He said dropping his gun back to the spot I had met it."Didn't had much sleep. I am still trying to know my name and where I came from." I admitted honestly to him."You don't need to be worried about any of these things." He stepped closer to meet me, extending his hands for me to take."Come now, my group wants to meet with you." I was well aware he had informed me about belonging to a hunting group. While I was anxious about meeting them, I had high hopes they would be welcoming like Dante.Once we were outside the hut, I noticed a group of men all gathered in the same spot, each holding similar guns I had seen in the hands of Dante."Everyone, I would like you to meet Lillith." Dante indicated."Lillth? I thought she never had a name because she lost her memory?" One of the men, who seemed to have a terrifying appearance indicated. From his demeanor, I knew we wouldn't be getting along anytime soon."Yes. We decided it was best we give her Lillith." I looked at Dante, who had a smile on her face."And you say she is human?" The sane terrifying man asked yet again."Collins, I understand that you don't like her being here, but you don't have to question her existence. She is human and it's quite obvious." The supposed Collins had a deep stare at me for a second and turned around to the rest of the men."Everyone here is aware of the importance of our task. We are hunters and so many of our men have died in the hands of those bloody savages. I told Dante last night that taking Lillith in would be a huge responsibility and as a group, I believe we all can decide on whether or not she stays with us or not."Men like Collins had a huge Ego and it was apparent from his structure and further it appeared that he was the leader of the crew as well."I have a suggestion..." Collins had a smirk on his face. "How about we use the Wolf bane on her. If she is human, then she lives. If she is a Werewolf, she doesn't."Dante POVIt is obvious that Collins mind was made up. Seeing Lillith all filled with anxiety had me really becoming worried. The little time we shared last night proved to me what truly is quite unimaginable; an intense attraction for her. "Alright then, we are going to take it gentle with her." Collins said, holding up the Wolf bane in his hands. "Collins, we both know she could get hurt." I said, hoping he would reconsider the decision he has made. "Would you have me reporting to the directors of your inaction against this group? Remember your importance." Deep down, there was an intuitive feeling that made me believe Collins had a genuine hate Lillith. I watched Collins stretch her hands slashed it open with a knife. The scene was uncomfortable to behold and something I felt a way of resisting. While Collins attempted to use the Wolf bane, Lillth resisted, much to the surprise of everyone. "Lilith, I assure you it won't hurt." Collins said. The growl that emitted from her lip
Dante POVWithin every veins of my fibre, anger and rage soared through. The fact that Collins had shot Nadia without no remorse made me loose all sense of logic. "Dante, remember you would be punished if you attempt to assault Collins. Remember thw code rule of the hunting group. Yield yourself peacefully, we don't have to do this with force applied." There was no way I was going bro leave Lillith here. I looked from Collins to Nadia's dead body and in that moment, I knew where my heart lies. "You know what; screw this organization, screw you and every single one that opted to be part of it." I leaned down and picked Nadia up and stared back at them. "I am out of it." From my peripheral vision, I could still see a struggle between Collins and Steve but at this point I didn't care. Walking past several paths in the forest, my intention was to find a means to get back Nadia. It was weird, but I believed she could still be brought back to life. The awareness of other past packs that w
Dante POV I looked up and noticed the man staring down at me in confusion. He rushed over to Lillith's side, who was still unconscious."She has no life." His words fueled my anxiety. Did I do anything wrong? Did I cast the wrong spell? Did he give me the right book? Several questions kept flying through my head. However one main thing reminded constant in my subconscious thoughts; I had possessed strange energy."Listen, we need to do something, I need to help her. It is obvious the Bishap book didn't help." I pleaded to the man, whose name I am yet to discover."I have someone that could perfectly explain the whole situation. I am merely a library keeper, who knows all the books here." Staring at Lillith's lifeless body, I couldn't help but be amazed by her beauty. Even in her subconscious state, she was still very perfect."Lead me to this person you talk about, I beg you." I watched as he rushed over to his counter, pulled up a pen and a paper and scribbled something unto the piec
Nadia POVThe world was quiet for some moment, till my ears began to pick up whispers. I couldn't comprehend what was happening. The whispers increased and after a while, I heard a slight giggle, followed by a groan of frustration.Right before I could open my eyes to comprehend what was happening, a bright light illuminated my face and at that moment, I used my hand as a shield to protect my face. "Happy Birthday!" I smiled, seeing the people that had gathered in my room with several birthday presents. Slowly I got up from the bed as they urged me to snuff out the candle. It was my eighteenth birthday and I had almost forgotten about it. My family were the best and seeing their happy faces light up my day. I cut through the cake and tasted it, feeling it's goodness."So Anabelle, what is your birthday wish?" My beloved sister Rachel asked. She is the life of the house and always had a means to make everyone feel good about themselves."I haven't really thought about anyone." I admit
Dante POVThe world stopped almost the second I laid eyes on the young maiden right before me. There was something about her that pulled me close, but I couldn't lay hands to it. At her left hand, I noticed a dagger and it was apparent she was up to no good. Her pale body, coupled with her long nails gave me the hint that she was a witch."What do you want from me?" I pulled my riffles and aimed it directly at her. She had her hands up in the air, her eyes still holding signs of recognition."What is strange is that I have seen you before and this scene several times." Her statement caught me off guard. I perfectly understood the fact that witches were magical creatures, but I never knew they could speak parables as well."What are you talking about." She was about to explain, when a bright light flashed across the tunnel, almost blinding my vision."Good Job Mr. Taylor, we will take it from here." Adjusting my eyesight to the light, several men had surrounded the tunnel, all with riff
Nadia POVThe entire coven had gathered at the peak of the moon, dancing and singing across the fires of the night. The smile on the face of the queen showed that I would be fully welcomed as one of the witches to the pack. "Tonight, you have shown that you are not only a true witch, but could pose as a warrior as well." The Queen revealed, holding up the head of the witch hunter. "She didn't just bring any head to the coven, she brought to us, the head of a witch hunter. It shows how much bravery she posses and indeed you shall be inducted properly." The next few minutes were spent on rituals and eventually I felt a surge of energy running through my veins, after I had taken a potion given to me by the queen."Welcome to the Coven Anabelle." The rest of the witches all screamed in joy. I could see the smile beaming through my mother's face as she watch the induction go on.Once the ceremony was over, I was left alone heading towards my home, after a hectic day. I dashed to the bedroo
Dante POVI was lost in her eyes, the moment she came out of the woods. I wondered if she was ever stalking me."What are you doing here.. Especially with a dagger in your hands." She dropped her dagger and seemed to be contemplating about something. On a closer look to her demeanor, I noticed she was a little moody; almost in the same manner as someone who was sulking."None of your business." She indicated placing the dagger back into her cloak and attempting to leave."It would have been none of my business initially, but considering I saved your life from the witch hunters, I think I deserve some credits." I revealed with a smile up on my face. She literally rolled her eyes at me, walking casually over to my side with a look of no emotion laced up on her face."Listen to me human, I don't want to have anything to do with your creature and indeed I am truly grateful for your help, which is why I am showing mercy. I had the intention of slitting that throat of yours, the moment I lai
Nadia POVReturning back to the coven, several of the witches gathered at the queen's mansion, while we stepped foot into the building. Murmus and whispers flying around ad they had their eyes set on me.Once we arrived at the chambers, Alina and the rest of the witches left, leaving me alone to confront the queen. I heaved in a breathe and eventually let the chambers open, revealing the queen staring at an art on the wall, with her hands folded behind her. She was all dressed in the royal black robe and she looked effortlessly beautiful."You left the coven with a dagger and despite my order for you not to leave, you still disobeyed me. What does that tells you about your attitude young witch?" She asked making a turn to stare at me, with her usual customary emotionless look."I am sorry. I was engulfed in my emotion. I really needed to take the head of the humans one by one." I admitted honestly."And where did that lead you?" She asked raising an eye brow and chuckling afterwards. S
