Lexy was still unconscious. Ethan was drifting on and off. While Ethan was being dragged, he saw Lexy was carried on a Lycan's shoulder with her arms and head hanging and lifelessly swaying as they walked around. If Lexy fainted sooner, Ethan might have been able to transform and let Aldric fight for them. But the fear of Lexy seeing him as a beast, just like those that attacked them brought fear to Ethan and Aldric. Now they were regretful. They thought it would have been better to secure their safety first and flee from their enemy. Now that they were captured, how are they going to keep hiding his supernatural identity when they might not even have another day of a chance to come clean and confess everything to their girl and mate?!It was as if the heavens turned its eyes away from Aldric, Ethan, and Lexy for a moment to go through the dark hours of their lives. Ethan's body was supposed to heal fast with his supernatural ability, but no matter how hard Aldric concentrates on his
Shocked, shaken, and helpless, Lexy froze in her spot, right in the middle of the distance between Aldric and the other lycans. She felt like she was trapped, and it seemed like her brain had turned numb; she couldn’t think of anything to do in her situation. She was confused. The fear she felt earlier was not even for herself. She was afraid Ethan would be harmed by the beasts again when Lexy heard the footsteps getting closer and trying to get into the cabin where they were in. She was ready to defend Ethan with everything she got thinking the man was in danger. But when he looked like one of the beasts that were now standing next to the door after breaking in, Lexy did not know who was her enemy and anyone any longer. She knew deep in her mind that she should stay focused to survive, but her fear subdued her greatly, and Lexy dropped unconscious to the floor. When Aldric saw his mate’s face filled with horror and confusion, his fear of Lexy seeing him in this form was confirmed
While Lexy was in the land of the undead, reuniting with her parents to get some enlightenment on what she was going through. Ethan arrived at the Roberts residence, and Freya came out to receive them by the gates. "How is she?" Asked the lady doctor."She fainted when she saw me turn," Ethan said worriedly. "She must have freaked out to realize I was the same kind to those that attacked us," he added in a defeated voice. "Give it some time and let her grasp an understanding of everything she just went through tonight," Doctor Freya kindly advised. "Come this way. I'll help you settle her on the bed," the lady added, walking ahead to lead Ethan where to go. They arrived at Lexy's room. Ethan placed her gently on the bed and stared a good few minutes before he sighed and spoke softly. "I better leave before she wakes up and see me. She might not want to see even my shadows right at the moment, but please let me know when she wakes up," Ethan mumbled softly as he told Doctor Freya o
"It wouldn't have been any different whatever way you came to show her," the Moon Goddess answered. "You should know by now how much I have favored you on many things to fail you with your mate. You are my child; no mother will ever want their children sad or lonely, so you have to trust me, okay?"Ethan made a mental note to ask Aldric about this topic later because no matter how the human tried to butt in his mind, Aldric had his walls up and rejected any interruptions from Ethan as he spoke with the Moon Goddess. In Aldric's thoughts, Ethan will always be around, but the Moon Goddess won't. They were greatly favored enough to speak with her and inquire about this and that while she was around. But most of all, Aldric was longing to have the woman who kept him in her womb until she found the right couple to send his human form into the world. Of course, in human understanding, it was impossible. Although there are what others already know about surrogacy. Ethan and Aldric were not
“Do you want to talk about it?” Marlyn asked Lexy.“About what?” Lexy answered.“About whatever it is that has been bothering you,” Marlyn answered hurriedly. “I know you too well not to notice you’re troubled, babe….” Lexy closed her eyes and everything that had happened last night when she was with Ethan on their way to her home flashed back in her mind. She had been having the same thoughts ever since she woke up on her bed after she fainted in that cabin where she saw Ethan turned into a furry and scary-looking creature. “Funny!” she murmured. “Sorry, what?” Marlyn asked in disbelief. Just a while ago, his best friend looked like a beauty in distress, but she suddenly smiled weakly and said a word Marlyn had never expected to slip out of Lexy’s mouth. She looked too sad to say the word “funny” after all!Lexy was scolding herself for how her mind described Ethan. Her thoughts seemed to avoid describing Ethan as a beast, using more favoring words such as a furry and scary-looki
“I didn’t know you have superpowers, babe,” Marlyn chuckled as he ran to catch on with Lexy walking away. “What a surprise!” Lexy sneered. “I was hoping you could tell me,” she glared at a laughing Marlyn. “Who was there?” he asked, still smiling. Marlyn wasn’t really bothered if his joke would turn real or not. He was amazed to hear she could recognize people from that far. But what Lexy said made him forget about his question. “Have you heard about crazy things like people with unbelievable abilities?” She asked with an earnest tone. But Lexy did not stop or walk slowly in her tracks. “You mean…” Marlyn raised his eyebrows and whispered. “Like… superpowers?”Lexy chuckled, but she also stopped abruptly. “Like anything the Marvels studio creates,” she frowned as her words registered her understanding, feeling sillier as she spoke. “Anything, vampires maybe, or werewolves, like that…?” Lexy did not want to meet gazes with Marlyn as she asked. She was worried her face would tell
That was the last thing he wanted to happen, so Aldric and Ethan thought of ways on how to walk out of there without being harmed, especially their girl, Lexy.But as if their enemies knew this to be to their advantage, they decided to come out from their hiding and face Ethan in his human form against them in their lycans.“Stay behind me,” Ethan pulled Lexy to hide from the lycans surrounding them. Ethan and Lexy had their backs to the brick walls in the corner. They found a good spot to defend themselves against their attackers. Lexy did not argue. She hid behind Ethan, with her hands holding the naked man on his side hips. Lexy peeked to have a look at their enemies, and she saw they looked somehow exactly alike the beasts she saw in the forest that night. It was only last night, but Lexy felt like it had happened quite some time ago already. It must have been because her parents had explained some things to Lexy while they were in the in-between. She was no longer as scared as
"I can hear you," Lexy answered. "Let's get this over with." Lexy held Aldric's face in both hands and looked him in the eyes."I'd love to stare at these eyes when we get rid of them," she whispered with an enticing smile. A howl was heard, but Lexy could tell it was not a sound of a cry for pain or sadness. It was the opposite. And she was right. Aldric howled for joy that his mate was expressively accepting him, judging by her words and not fearing him in the slightest. And so, with great vigor and eagerness to end this nonsense from consuming their time to be alone, Aldric ran to their enemies' direction and finished them one by one. All three of them dropped one by one, hearts pulled out of their chest and crushed in Aldric's hands, and the only one left stealthily moved to capture Lexy and kept her as a hostage. "Let's see what you're going to do with your mate's life in my hands," the lycan snarled. "I don't think you know what you are doing," Lexy answered calmly. "I am
