POWERS OF THE FORBIDDEN Chapter 33
EMILIA POV After Seth’s surprising announcement, Lucas and I glanced at each other, silently communicating. I gave him an apologetic look, and he blinked slowly at me to assure me that it would be fine. “You will let me speak to my sister, won’t you?” Lucas asked Seth as he turned towards us and made to lead us towards the dungeon. “Only if I feel like it, you traitor,” Seth replied, using his hands to signal for his soldiers to take us to the dungeon. “They must be kept in the same cell,” he instructed the soldier. “Find the smallest one of them all and put them both in it. It’ll give them enough time to think about why they shouldn’t have done what they did, especially the one who once called himself an Alpha.” Seth took one last look at Lucas and shook his head in disappointment as he said, “This was never worth it in the first place, and I hope you see that now. You have singlehandedly ruined your name for an Omega. I won’t fault you for getting angry in the dungeon and killin

EMILIA POVLucas and I listened as the sound of Katarina’s retreating footsteps faded into the distance until silence fell again, followed by the depressing last words she had left with us.“You can’t die,” I stated. “You’re innocent. We need to send word to the Werewolf Council.”“And how are we supposed to do that, Emilia? What access do we have? We don’t have the power to send anyone to the Elders and send word that we’re being punished unjustly. The only place we need to save our hope is the murder of the guards who were positioned in the cabin,” Lucas explained.“How long does it take till prisoners are executed?” I asked him, placing my hand on my stomach in a protective manner.“A trial has to be put in place first,” he answered. “If I’m found guilty of whatever they’re trying to pin on me, they’ll set a time for me to be executed. Knowing Seth, he could command them to kill me immediately. I’m not expecting much.”I didn’t know what there was to do, but I knew that something h

EMILIA POV“You can’t do that, Seth!” Katarina protested, getting off her seat and walking towards me and Lucas, pulling me out of my seat and ordering me to stand behind her for protection.I stood there in shame, wondering if standing behind someone who had stabbed me in the back one too many times was truly something I wanted to do.“You have to fight for your brother, too. If you let him die like this, your guilt is going to prick at you forever,” I said lowly behind her as Seth walked slowly towards us.“Trust me, Emilia. The last thing you should be worried about is Lucas. He can hold his ground, not you.” She turned back to Seth and raised her hands in surrender as she told him, “It doesn’t have to be this way.”“You cannot defy my orders in my pack,” he replied.As if his words woke something in Katarina, she put her hands down and chuckled darkly.“By the way, Seth, how come you’re suddenly in command?” she questioned, causing him to stop in his tracks and look at her with cu

EMILIA POVThe soldiers of Fangsbane immediately turned their attention away from me and in the direction of the vampires who were now flooding the entire courtroom.“You took too long. I can’t believe I had to stall them for you,” Katarina complained to him, indirectly confirming that she had planned all of this with Daemon before she arrived.I wondered what exactly Katarina wanted from me still, even after I ran away from Daemon’s territory and ended up getting tried. I imagined that she would want me dead and done with, not plotting and scheming this hard to get me out of trouble.“Forgive me, my love,” Daemon told her. “I had a lot to take care of. I’m here now, aren’t I?”“What are you doing in my pack?” Seth demanded from Daemon. “What did you do to the soldiers at the borders?”“They’re long gone,” Daemon laughed, and he snapped his fingers to signal for the vampires who accompanied him to spread out and get ready for a fight.“Emilia!” He finally acknowledged me, walking towa

EMILIA POV“If ever you seek the Council of Elders from Fangsbane Pack,” an instructor once told us in the pack school when we were younger, “all you have to do is go north-east.”We had been taught to learn of everything we would encounter and were to be prepared for if we ever decided to go to the Council of Elders for help and if we were in danger.Now, I was heading in their direction without preparation and the sparse memories of what I had been taught by the instructor.“Wisteria path, wisteria path,” I mumbled to myself, looking around to search for a path filled with wisteria trees as we had been informed that there would be. I kept stalking forward, stopping once in a while to catch my breath and whenever I got pain in my stomach.It suddenly felt like my stomach had gotten heavier, but I was sure that it was that way because I was exhausted.“Oh, goddess!” I exclaimed as I found one wisteria tree a few feet away, using the last bit of my strength to trudge forward until I go

EMILIA POV“No, wait! You have to listen to me!” I cried out in my defence as the elders stood up and watched me get held by two of the soldiers. I struggled against them, trying to get out of their grips, but I soon learned that it would only make things worse for me.“If you don’t start speaking, I will order for your tongue to be cut off this instant,” the woman threatened, glaring at me as she walked down from her chair and walked close to me.“I didn’t do this on purpose—”“Are you carrying a vampire’s offspring inside you, yes or no?!” she demanded loudly.“Yes, I am!” As soon as I answered the question, the leader of the soldiers brought back his knife into view and placed it directly on my stomach, waiting for the green light from any one of the elders.“I didn’t share a bed with a vampire! You have to listen to me!” I shouted, making sure I didn’t move much so that the knife wouldn’t rip me apart.“Then, how come you’re carrying that abomination inside you?”“That’s what I wa
POWERS OF THE FORBIDDEN Chapter 39
EMILIA POV“No!” I screamed out, guarding my stomach with my hand and running away, but I didn’t get far when I fell to the ground and looked back to see Heath approaching me with the knife in his hand.“You can’t do this!” I yelled out at the Council of Elders, seeing that at least two of them had concern on their faces and trying to win them over to take a vote against it before Heath could go ahead with it. “It’s going to kill me as well! Don’t you want answers from me as well?”“Stop, Heath!” Vittoria commanded loudly, and Heath stopped in his tracks as soon as possible.“We need to take a vote on this,” Marcus suggested. “I don’t think it’s fair to have the child killed so soon without a valid reason.”“Is the fact that the child is half vampire not enough for you?” Dennis argued. “You also heard what was said about the child—”“And it hasn’t been confirmed just yet. For all we know, the vampire might just be playing one big game to get us to surrender Emilia and the child she’s
POWERS OF THE FORBIDDEN Chapter 40
EMILIA POV“Do not do something you’ll end up regretting, Seth. Let her go,” Lucas warned him, but I was pretty sure that killing one of the members of the Werewolf Council and holding another captive was enough for him to regret it later in his life and never think of doing it again.“You do know that you’re cornered, don’t you?” I reminded him, gesturing at all of the soldiers who were sworn to the Elders. “The moment they get you, it’s all over for you, Seth. Think about this and let her go before things get ugly for you.”Seth only laughed mockingly at us as he drew his knife closer to Penelope’s neck and looked around at the guards, who were stuck on the fence of defending Penelope and risking her life and letting Seth remain like that to keep her alive.“You really think I’m cornered?” he asked me, his eyes turning darker than they already were. “I will get them all killed in only a few seconds.”The minute he announced that, I could hear swords being drawn and swung as Seth’s s
