ALPHA AXEL'S POV.“Brandon?”, Our mouths fell open in disbelief as Daniel and I exchanged glances, our faces etched with confusion.“Don't play games” I grabbed her tightly, my claws piercing through her arm, a vortex of anger swirled inside me.I locked eyes with Sam, and my face contorted with rage. “What did you say?” I asked, My voice laced with venom.Alpha Cole walked over to me, pulling my hand from Sam's arm and his etched with seriousness as he locked eyes with me, his eyes filled with fire. I tried to free my hand from Alpha Cole's clutches but my strength was no match for his, feeling defeated. I glared at Alpha Cole as he finally freed my hand.“Have you no respect for the dead?” Daniel asked, his brows furrowed in anger as he clenched his fists tightly.Sam looked at me with a hostile glare, she was quivering in anger as she clutched her wounded arm. “How dare you touch me?” she asked, her voice laced with venom.“You shouldn't have said that, all your clan knows how to d
RACHEL'S POV.The blue sky was dotted with tiny white fluffy clouds that drifted lazily in the gentle breeze. The dappled sun shone through the trees, casting mysterious shadows as the leaves danced to the wind's rhythm. The reflection of the sun shone through my window causing the curtain to glow. The birds freely flew high above the sky, children's laughter echoed around the palace, and maids moved freely with their daily activities. The palace had returned to its shining glory after Athena and her friends attacked.I looked at the beauty scene through my window, sitting under the tree was Daniel. Daniel sat down as children surrounded him. Their faces were etched with laughter as he played with them. Everything was back to normal. I hoped.I walked over to my dressing table and I sat down, etched with a smirk before my brows furrowed in frustration as I pulled my hair.“I shouldn't have done that” I shouted to myself as I glowered at my reflection. “I shouldn't have done that” I bi
RACHEL'S POVThe night sky filled with a blanket of stars that stretched to infinity. The street brightens with the city lights. Humans going about their daily activities, solemn music played by a street band, their songs filled the air as people surrounded them. I stared blankly at the sky, the breeze of the night brushing through my face through the window of the moving car.I bit my fingers in rage as my face contorted with a mixture of rage and curiosity. My phone suddenly rang, waking me from my nightmare. It was Davina.“Hey” I picked up the call, “I am almost there”. I whispered.“Where are you?” Davina asked, her voice edged with curiosity. “Did Alpha Axel let you go that easily?”.“I am already there” I chuckled as I came down from the car and walked over to Davina's Cafe. “I will be there in a minute”. I said as I got closer.“Come through the back, the cafe is closed already” Davina explained as she cut the call.I halted at the door looking at the close sign hanging on the
ALPHA AXEL'S POV.I laid down on the couch, my mind clouded with thought, Rachel deserved to know the truth about Athena but that wasn't a risk I was willing to take. Just as I lay on the couch, I sensed a shadow hovering above slowly. I opened my eyes, it was Rachel.Rachel tiptoed out of the room giving the door a soft thud as she went out.“Rachel” I muttered, my brows furrowed in curiosity wondering where Rachel could be sneaking up to at this time of the night. “I have to find out where she is going,” I thought as I got up quietly following her. I didn't want the elders to know of Rachel's attempt to leave the palace at night, so I immediately sent words to all the guards to just let Rachel go wherever she was sighted, I was going to stop her myself.I followed Rachel closely behind, the guards pretended not to notice her presence as she sneaked past them.Rachel ran towards the last door of the palace, I had to end this little mischief before it was too late. With the speed of
AUTHOR'S POV“Vae…vaewolf” Hailey shouted falling to the ground in fear. Inside the woods was a dark figure with golden eyes, its teeth gritting in anger as it approached them.Rachel's mouth fell open in fear, she was mute with terror, her legs became wobbly with fear as she took a few steps backward, and terror mounted within her with every step.“Ath…ena” Davina called her voice edged with fear and her eyes widened in alarm as fear crept up her spine.Alpha Axel glowered at Athena, he gritted his teeth angrily as he walked closer to Athena. “How dare you show your face again,” Alpha Axel thought, anger flooding his veins.“Run!” Rachel shouted as Davina and the twins screamed running in the opposite direction but paused tripping over each other as another figure appeared in the opposite direction.“Rachel” the twins cried, their faces etched with fear as they held her tightly.“Stay away” Rachel shouted, anger and terror stirred within her as the figure slowly walked out of the sha
RACHEL'S POV.We drove back in silence, my eyes darting from left to right as different thoughts clouded. I looked at the side mirror of the car, trailing behind us were Alpha Axel and Alpha Cole driving slowly.“Do you believe what Alpha Cole said?” Davina asked as she glanced at me, her face contorted with concern.“I can't still dissolve all that he said as my head is still clouded with confused thought, so what part do you ask of me?” I asked calmly.“I can still manage to believe all that he said about Athena, the vampire, Ardolf, the black witch but I still don't understand what he said about Brandon,” she said, shaking her head as she bit her lips, her face contorted with confusion.“I honestly don't know what to believe anymore”. I explained as I looked at Alpha Axel's car coming behind us through the side mirror. “But I think Alpha Axel is more confused than any of us will ever be”. I nodded.“You're right, I hope he is okay,” Davina smiled faintly. Immediately her phone rang
ALPHA AXEL'S POV.I went in immediately as Daniel led the way to Brandon. I was in a complete state of panic, different questions flooded through my mind. Spasms of fear crossed my face and I swallowed hard.I had been anticipatingly waiting for Brandon to come, not because I didn't believe what Alpha Cole said but because I needed to see it for myself to fully believe. The palace was turned into turmoil upon the arrival of Brandon. I couldn't wait to see him.People whispered among themselves as I passed them, they glared at me, their faces etched with shock as I walked past but then I ignored their reaction.Daniel halted at the door and turned back, his face etched with shock as he gestured to me to turn back. Slowly I turned back and my mouth fell open. The whole palace was behind me, leading them to angry elders who approached us.“Is he truly alive?” one of the elders spat as he glared at me.“It seems like that's the only possible explanation” I nodded, I wasn't in any mood to
AUTHOR'S POV.Davina drove the twins home, having a proper farewell to both Felicity and the twins, Davina quickly drove home. Her home was an hour's drive from Felicity's home, increasing her speed she got home within forty minutes to meet Lucien, who stood outside waiting impatiently for her.“Where are you coming from, Davina?” Lucien asked Davina as she got out of the car, his brows furrowed in curiosity.“Please Dad, I'm so tired of this discussion” Davina frowned as she headed inside the house.“Were you with Rachel?” Lucien asked as he walked towards Davina. “I told you not to associate with her again”. He said, his voice laced with anger.“Rachel has nothing to do with this” she defended. “Don’t bring her up in all our arguments, she is not the demon in our story” Davina defended and angrily walked in.“Davina wait” Lucien called as he ran after her. “I am sorry for bringing her up, I was just worried about you” he pleaded as he walked behind her.“Can we talk about this tomor
