Lazarus povJust like my boy promised, about ten minutes before he claimed I had to turn he woke up. Another five minutes passed by until he decided to speak up.“Dad?” “Yes, son?” I keep my eyes trained on the road. Maybe it’s just a straight line I need to drive, but we’re still inside a car and I have two kids with me. This would be the worst moment to act reckless. “Is mommy going to be okay?” Alister mutters as his eyes focus on something far away. The question catches me off guard. This whole mess, everything that is going on, is supposed to remain pretty much hidden. The last thing I want is to see my children suffer because they saw too much. “Of course, buddy. Mommy needs to rest a little, that’s why we’re going on a trip together. We’re having a holiday and so is she,” I lie through my teeth while trying my best to act happy. I hate lying to my son. Ever since I first held him in my arms, I promised I would try my hardest to be the best father I could be and always be o

Lazarus povAlister is way stronger than he looks. My boy grabs my arm and nearly drags me into the field without batting an eye. All I can do is gape at him. “Come on, move your big legs, dad,” he mutters the encouragement that sounds oddly like an insult.I choose to ignore his words to keep up the peace. No matter how stressful our life is, I don’t want to argue with my son. He’s just a child, after all. “I’m coming, I’m coming,” I laugh as he keeps tugging on the sleeve of my shirt. Funny how he can barely see past the grass that is nearly as tall as him, but Alister is still determined to reach his goal. All things aside, this, too, worries me. Everyone around us has always insisted my boy is special, but now, I finally see the observations have been more than just a praise to his talents. Alister is special in his own way, in a way I could never understand. And now, as he walks closer to a place I fear as much as I am dying to see it, I wonder how my boy is connected to t
Claimed by the Alphas You’re a coward.
Felix pov“Free,” I mutter and look around the eerie forest. While technically, I don’t have Lenox Vincent on my ass anymore, surprising me with the level of crazy, bloodthirst and occasional threats, I don’t feel as free as I should. Funny, how now that I got what I wanted from the very beginning feels wrong. Maybe the feeling mainly comes from the fact that I don’t feel safe here without him around? Truth be told, I’ve never liked forests, never roamed them alone and always got goosebumps whenever I thought of them. “Admit it, Felix, you’re a coward,” I grunt under my breath, pulling my hands into tight fists and stomping my foot against the ground like a child. Why am I having this weird inner turmoil again? As I look around again, a cold shiver runs down my spine. Soon, the night will fall and all the weird creatures will leave their hiding places as soon as they get a chance. “You can continue the path you’ve always walked and be a coward, or you can prove yourself you’re

Luka pov“Wait,” Than mutters and runs a hand through his oddly near hair. “Go back a bit and explain the bit about the murderous trees, please.” “Haven’t Lenox mentioned anything about them?” I frown. Deep down, I know that answering his plea with a question is just wasting time. It’s bad, I know, but also, I wish to waste someone’s else’s time for once too. “Perhaps I’m too old and forgetful, but no. Also, I find it a little weird that you mention the gates of hell, but I don’t feel a presence powerful enough to shift the energy in mortal’s realm,” Than explains and mimics my frown. This back and forth conversation won’t go anywhere, so I decide to offer a compromise only a fool would ignore. “How about you tell me everything I want to know and I tell you everything I learned while I was away? Sounds fair, doesn’t it?” I’m really hopeful he will. Dealing with whatever is happening would be so much easier if I got all the details in check. I don’t like addressing the issues I ha

Lenox povOoooh, my family will hate me. Something I have to get used to, eh? For now, at least I have my trusted companion spoon, so I can’t claim my life has ended just yet. What I plan to do, though, might lead me to that place sooner than anticipated. “A tad bit dramatic, don’t you think?” Atlas chuckles, as always ruining the moment I’m trying to slip into the role of a proper drama queen. “Why do you even care?” I grumble. Yes, sure, I’m being stingy and everything, but I have the right to be. He can’t expect I won’t react to his ideas in the worst ways possible. This, after all, is his idea.“Oh, come on, don’t be such a snowflake. It’ll be fine.” Atlas laughs at my inner thoughts. “Fine - my ass,” I laugh. “What if we don’t find the way back home?” He doesn’t offer an answer or another remark and after a while, I realise there won’t be an answer at all. For once, he’s stuck deep in thought, completely obvious to me, losing my patience. Walking deeper into the forest, a
Claimed by the Alphas Why are you not scared?
Alister povDad looks so worried, I almost don’t want to go anymore. But I have to. If I want mommy to live and the monster to leave her, I don’t have any other chance. Before I turn my back on dad and the creature in his arms, I look at the thing he calls a baby and huff. Why can’t everyone else see the same things I do? Why can’t they understand the destruction she will bring? “Not everyone has been given the gift you have, some are bound to remain blind to the truth,” the garden’s whispers surround me, both answering my questions and calling for me at the same time. Shaking my head, I spin on my heel and take off, ignoring dad’s voice as he calls after me. I know I’m getting myself in serious trouble by not listening. I know he will tell me I’m grounded once we return home, or even take some of my toys, but I don’t mind paying the price. Perhaps, he will accept that some things have to be done for a greater good and let me be. Whatever the consequences are, I’ll accept them.

Sarah povLeft completely alone, I struggle to tell reality and lie apart. The voice in my mind grows so strong and loud, no thoughts and songs can overpower it. I try to scream, to sing, to make sounds and everything that comes to mind, but nothing works. No matter how hard I try, it’s not backing down. Even when I plead with it to stop, to release me or find a compromise to coexist - it doesn’t agree to anything I offer. “Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me.” It repeats over and over again. I have no idea how, but the voice is managing to alter my understanding of reality - the scenarios it reads, the images it shows, I can’t fully process it all before the next round starts. The more information is piled on me, the more I struggle. Even breathing proves to be harder than it usually is. “Than, where are you? I need you, dad, please,” I force the words through gritted teeth and drop to my knees. My hands slide in my hair and tug on it, as if I need to rid myself of the hai

Felix povOkay, I might have underestimated how far those bloody shadow forests are. Seriously, it’s already getting dark and I feel like I have been walking for years. It doesn’t help that everything in this part of the forest is starting to merge into one, big mess. I can’t keep track of the times I already tripped on something and I keep doing the same nearly every two steps I take. “Lenox Vincent, where are you? Come here and grab your death tools, I’m tired,” I hiss under my breath but still push forward. If he is already there, doing whatever a crazy person does in the middle of a creepy forest, he needs me to get there as soon as possible. I’m not sure when I changed my opinion of him as someone I need to escape to someone I need to reach as fast as I can, but that doesn’t matter. What does is he can’t do without his tools, the same things I’m carrying around. After another time of nearly kissing the ground, I stop and lean against the tree to rest a little. The water is g
