Asher's Point Of ViewMy eyes enlarged."You are in heat," She gave me a confused look. I don't think she even knows what that meant and she didn't care. No wonder her scent and arousal were stronger.But this couldn't be. Cirilla's wolf hadn't emerged yet. There was no she should be in heat.My thinking was interrupted when she wrapped her hands around my neck, swallowing my lips hungrily as if seducing me back into that crazed wild passion. And I almost gave in like I did a while ago.Ryker was already going berserk to mark her and the sweet smell of her arousal wasn't helping at all. It smells so fucking good.I growled, pulling her away. I wanted so badly to have her under me on the bed while I fucked her till she can't walk. But if I give in now, I won't be able to resist claiming her, making her wholly mine. At this point, I had no fucking control.Cirilla groaned in pain, tears in her eyes. "Asher please,"Goddess, she didn't have to beg me, I would gladly undress her and pleas
Cirilla's Point Of ViewI released a loud growl, my inner vision blood red, and a deep thirst for their blood overpowered me. My eyes narrowed on the witch closest to me, and two witches rushed closer, eager for their deaths.I felt their fears. It was delightful. And I knew I would enjoy ripping their hearts out and drinking them dry.Then I felt Asher's presence as it came with a thundering growl that shook the walls of the room and the smell of blood soon filled the air.But I didn't dare look away from my soon-to-be victims. They lifted their fingers and an invisible shield was created imprisoning us.My smile only deepened at their obvious stupidity. Nothing could stop me. I knew that, even as they began whispering foreign words, and channeling their energies to attack me, my smile only ran deeper.They lifted their fingers collectively, and I felt magic that charged my way to harm me, but nothing happened.The horror on their faces was priceless, as my smile vanished and my eye
Asher's Point Of ViewWe were at the portal gates of the demons' realm. This was where the Kroma Conclave headquarters was. It was impossible to enter, only top-ranking demons had access to enter, aside from the Conclave.I slit my palm, pouring my blood on the black crystals, and instantly, a red glow appeared in the middle of the tall black pillars. A portal gateway.I turned to Cory and Andy, before stepping in. "Stay close,"I ignored the deafening screams that echoed through the red mist that surrounded us in the portal. They belonged to demon souls from the fiery pit that had been banished there for committing heinous crimes.After a while, we reached the other end of the portal, stepping out in front of the Night Castle."Prince," The warriors guarding this end of the portal gates bowed to me. I didn't fail to notice their surprised gaze."The Overlord?" I asked, sharply."In a meeting with the Conclave," One of the warriors answered.I nodded, as we entered inside the Night ca
Cirilla's Point Of View"One shot! One shot! One shot!"I didn't stop. I kept gulping down the liquid content in my glass, ignoring the burning trail that began from the back of my tongue, through the throat, past my chest, and settled in the core of my stomach.I groaned, successfully chugging down the drink. Only the heavens knew what exactly Dorian had mixed in there for me.I flipped the glass upside down on the table, smirking with pride."Happy birthday!" They all chorused, chugging down their drinks.We were at Lakita bar with just a small crowd. Miles had closed the bar earlier tonight and had given me a day off."One more round moonpie!" Dorian shouted over the music playing, and I groaned, shaking my head."I'm not gulping down any of those again or I might just throw up," I yelled back, grabbing my phone and walking to the counter.I checked my call log and there haven't been any calls from Asher. To say I was getting mad was an understatement. He promised he'd be here.I w
CARSON CITY, NEVADAWISCON PALACECameron's Point Of ViewThere was chaos and confusion in the court, but my focus was on my mate."What's happening to her?" I growled again, pulling my mate's body to mine. She was so hot. Really hot."Take her inside!" Zeriyah said, and immediately, I carried her in my arms and teleported her to her room in the palace. But I was teleported back to the Court.What the hell?"What happened?" Rhona was already at the door when she turned back to me."I don't know," I teleported to her room again and I was teleported back again to the Court. "Something is wrong, something keeps bringing me back," "I think it's the Crystal stone," Mirabel's words caused my eyes to fall on the glowing crystal stone next to Cyrene's lifeless body. It was glowing blue. And every time I teleported, it glowed brighter."But Cyrene's dead. It shouldn't have any ounce of magic left," The demon king, Daimon, uttered as he moved closer to us."It shouldn't," Rhona looked taken ab
Cirilla's Point Of ViewI felt it all.I sensed it all.And heard it all.Even the tiniest sounds of owls hooting, the night animals' movements in the dark, the sounds of the trees shrieking under the little force of the windy, cold midnight air. The sounds of the twigs crying under my footfalls, dried-up leaves shattering against the dust. I heard it all and they made the ache in my bones, against my joints, the pain that coursed through my veins, and the throbbing in my head worse.I could feel the nerve-wracking energy within me, and the dark whispers in my head, reached the gates of my soul, wanting blood.I had no idea what state I was in, but my only thought was on finding Jasmine. I needed to see her. I had to.My inner vision was bloodshot red, and even so, in the darkness, it was clearer than in the day. I was in the woods in Greengrove and was moving with great speed, tracking the cabin Jasmine had mentioned in her text.Before I saw it, I heard the deafening growls of beas
Asher's Point Of ViewThe sky was darker than usual and starless. I glanced up at the moon, staring briefly before pulling my eyes back to my phone. I've been trying Stefan's phone for almost an hour now, but he wasn't picking up, and neither was Lyra, Cirilla, or anyone.I was going crazy with fear and worry. Something was wrong. I could feel it."Maybe they are having way too much fun and can't hear their phones ringing," Andy bit out quietly from the back seat, trying to alleviate the quiet mood and deadly tension in the car.I didn't reply. I had my eyes up on the road ahead. "Wren," I muttered, before I could finish my words, I heard his sharp voice."I'm on it," He stepped on the brakes, driving at the fastest speed.My eyes remained trained on the road. We were still a few distance from the borders of the town, and I just couldn't wait until we got to Beaverton.Ryker was pacing in my head. He was restless. He felt fear. Something he never feels. As the seconds ticked by, I wa
Asher's Point Of ViewIt was almost dusk. My warriors and I had just returned from scouring through every nook and cranny in Beaverton trying to find Cirilla. But we had no luck, I just hope Theo and the others were having better luck than us. At midnight, we moved into other towns in Oregon, just in case she was still in the city, but I highly doubted it. I sauntered into the small living room of Jasmine's apartment, watching the warriors from the Council ransack the entire place, trying to find even the slightest clue where Cirilla could be, or where the witch, Emily, could be hiding or anything that could give us a lead to where Mason took her. I shut my eyes, taking in deep breaths, but unfortunately, I can't seem to get enough air into my lungs. The image of Cirilla filled up my entire thoughts, and I couldn't stop the anger, guilt, and pain that killed me for losing her, and for not recognizing who she was.Everyone kept saying that wasn't on me and I couldn't have possibly kn
