#Chapter45Training-01CATALAYA POVIt's been three days since the ball, and our summer was officially in full swing, and yet I couldn't seem to enjoy it as much as I would like. I kept having these weird dreams that I didn't understand. It was like pieces of different things happening all at once, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't put them together. It was becoming very frustrating.I couldn't dwell on that today though, because I have a long day ahead of me. I started training today. Not the regular training that I did. That was to learn control over my powers. Today I was beginning combat training, and I had no idea who my instructor would be, seeing as dad found it funny to not tell me.It was now 4:00 am, and I had to be in the front of the yard by 4:30. I quickly did my morning routine, pulled on some gym tights and a sports bra, and then made a beeline for the kitchen. Opening the fridge, I grabbed an apple and ate it on my way outside. It was 4:20 when I
#Chapter46Training-02UNKNOWN POVSHIT!I facepalmed.I didn't mean to hurt her feelings or make her cry. That was a stupid low blow."You're such an asshole," Orias, my dragon, said."I didn't mean to hurt her feelings. I thought it would have made her angry not make her cry," I defended."And you wonder why no one likes you?" he said, rolling his eyes."People like me.""Hmph," he snorted, then blocked our connection.Great now my own dragon didn't wanna talk to me.I closed my eyes, slowly releasing my demonic energy, trying to find Catalaya.Catalayasuch a unique name. Well, she is a unique girl.I remembered the other day when she bumped into me; I was shocked to see it was actually her. I'd been gone for a few months now on a special mission appointed by Lucifer himself. However, I was still aware of what went on down here, so imagine my surprise when I heard from Jacoby that the master had found his long-lost daughter. Then my anger spike
#Chapter47Training-03I knew it seemed cruel. But she needed to understand this world was way crueller than I was and unforgiving to people like us, so she needed to stop being a baby and grow the fuck up."WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME I COULD HAVE DIED!" She yelled."But you didn't, did you?" I asked.I was expecting a shouted answer. Instead, I saw Cat visibly shaking, and her eyes kept changing colour from blue to blood red. I could tell her demon was about to make an appearance, so I readied myself for the onslaught that was about to come. However, nothing could prepare me for what happened next since she moved so fast.When she shifted, a white-haired creature stood before me with an aura so thick, so dense, so powerful it was slightly suffocating. She stomped her feet, and I felt the ground tremble before rising up and holding me in its clutch. Before I could even react, she stretched her hand up to the sky before bringi
#Chapter48Assurance-01ANDREAS POVKnock, knock, knock!"Come in."I opened the heavy wooden doors entering the office. He looked up when I came in, and a small smile graced his face."Andreas, right on time I was just about to call you.""Good day, your highness," I said with a bow."Have a seat," he motioned to the chair in front of his desk."So, status report. Have your contacts gotten back to you with info about those abominations?""Actually yes, I received two reports last night.""It seems they are no longer hiding in the shadows anymore, one by one they're starting to gather and they found someway to create others like them,""Shit!, this is what I didn't want to happen I knew I shouldn't have listened to Lena and just wipe them out from the beginning.""I'm curious as to why the moon goddess asked you not to kill them, they were created by that dark sorcerer so why spare a race born from evil?""She's all into that preserving of li
#Chapter49Assurance-02Going downstairs to start my search, luck was on my side since they were all in the den with their mates watching a movie. I saw Catalaya was with them as well."Hey guys," I made my presence known."Hey bro, where you been all day?" Eric asked."I was meeting with the king,""Hey Dre, you staying to watch the movie with us?" Cat asked."Dre!!????" All six of my siblings asked."Yeah, its short for Andreas. It's what I've been calling him since we started training. He was against it at first so we made a bet which I won so now I get to call him Dre." she told them with a triumphant smile like the one she had that day she won our bet. I let her win though."Keep telling yourself that," Orias said."Do you ever have anything positive to say to me?""Nope," he sassed before disappearing to the back of my mind."Wait, he let you call him that?" Brooke asked."Yeah, why do you sound so surprised?""Uhh nothing," she replied, gi
#Chapter50Decision-01CATALAYA'S POV"Hey sweetie," I heard as my room door opened.I looked up to see dad in the doorway."Hey dad," I said, putting away the clothes I'd been folding."Breakfast is ready," he told me."Just gimme a sec," was replied, kicking the closet door close before following him downstairs."There's also something I wanted to discuss with you and the others about at breakfast," he said as we walked down the stairs, which we had opted for instead of the elevator."Ok," I nodded as we walked."How's your day so far," he asked."It's good. I'm a bit sore though from my training with Dre this morning." "Dre?" He asked, puzzled."Andreas," I said."Oh," he said with a surprised look on his face and a small smirk on his lips."Why's everyone so surprised that I'm calling him that?" I asked.It's been like this for a few days now. Whenever I called Andreas by the name I gave him, everyone had weird reactions and kept givin
#Chapter51Decision-02I sat there for a few moments, thinking about what I should do. On the one hand, it'll actually be good to go back and no, not to boast, but it'll be easier if I was somewhere I was used to because starting over isn't easy. However, on the flip side, I'd have to deal with everyone who bullied me, I'd have to face my fears, and I'm not sure if I want to do that as yet. But even so, a part of me (Legacy mainly) wants to go back and prove to everyone who ever mistreated me that I'm not the weak, pathetic girl I used to be. "Sweetheart listen, I'm not saying this because obviously I'm overprotective and I worry but because I don't want you to feel like you have to face your fears now because you don't, you can take your time, this is a battle that as much as I hate it, you have to fight it on your own and I know that not because you found where you belong means your past automatically goes away. I know what you went through made its mark on your life so I hop
#Chapter52Decision-03Dre took deep, calming breaths as the veins around his eyes retracted, and his eye colour went back to its normal brown, almost black colour. "Ok, what the hell just happened," I asked, still a bit shaken by what just took place.I've seen Dre grumpy pissed moody, annoyed and most times angry; however, I've never seen him this furious before."Its cool man, sorry I flipped," Dre told Jace."Uhm, excuse me," he said, getting up from his chair and then teleporting from the dining room table before I could get a word out."I'm confused," Freya said."Its a long story one that Andreas would have to tell," Jace said to her, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear.Awww, they looked so cute.Clearing his throat, dad said, "That's all I needed to talk to you about. Sam, I'd like a word with you in my office." he then got up from the table, kissed my forehead, and walked out."Uhm Cat?" Brooke said with a worried look."Yeah?" "Can
