Selene's povMagnus was hardly moving, hell he was hardly breathing.“It's the poison,” Gabriel whispered. “The venom of the succubus.” Although I was ignorant to what he meant I could see the truth in them. Long tendrils of green lines traveled through the entire contour of his skin.Fuck what have I done? A sense of guilt rushed through me with violent force. All this, Magnus's and my father's wounds were because of my foolishness. I brought this woe on all of us. If only I had stayed at home.If only I minded my business.If only I had the decency to face them after I was caught.Magnus groaned in pain once again and held out his hand to me.“He needs help,” Gabriel whispered worriedly. Yeah, I could see that.“Help me get him up,” I said to Gabriel. My father grabbed one hand while I grabbed another.“Ahhh!!!” Magnus groaned in pain.“Easy Magnus.” My father was coaxed. I could see that he was not In a good condition himself. His wounds still bled and he still had issues walkin
Selene's pov.The demon by the right had a huge green scar running from his eye to his chin. He turned to the other and smiled.“It's been a long time since I've had a good meal.” He said with a smile. The other Demon looked back at him and giggled madly. “Oui. These counts don't know what they've gotten themselves into.” He said.My father kept on walking until he was right in front of them.“By the order of the moonstone pack, you are hereby placed under arrest.” My father yelled for all to hear.The demons looked at him with shocked expressions on their faces.“Under arrest?” The ancient one asked.“The future is a weird place.” The other one said with an almost sad tone.“You are outnumbered and outmatched! Surrender now!!” Gabriel yelled. I could see his muscles flexing and his grip tightening. The joke was revealed to me suddenly. He was not expecting them to surrender. It was a joke the demons did not understand.“And what happens if we choose not to sur
Selene's Pov.“Selene!!!” Ansari's voice echoed through the room. I rose to my feet, my heart beating as fast as was biologically possible. Goddess help me, what was I going to say? I could feel the eyes of the crowd on my back. The urge to turn was almost irresistible but the Ansari woman held me with her gaze. She was a striking-looking woman, especially for someone her age. Her silver hair shone on her head like a magnificent crown, her eyes green embers of wildfire. Her skin was still surprisingly taunt and she was the prettiest person there.But her looks were secondary to me, I could feel her boring into me, searching through my soul in a way that reminded me of the succubus. I turned my eyes away.“Selene you were attacked in the woods by a creature. Please tell this council everything that had happened.” Ansari said. I had no idea where to begin. Asking this of me so soon after the ordeal was … I did not have the words to describe it, but I knew I hated it.I cleared my t
Selene's pov.“What are you talking about?” I whispered confused. “You are a hybrid, you are a stranger. You are an abomination!!” The ancient one said pointing at me. She rose to her feet, her veins standing on end and her eyes as red as blood.“These are serious words you speak, Miranda,” Ansari said quietly. She looked at her with a serious look on her face.It was a serious matter. How dare her. How dare she talk to me that way.“She is not one of us,” Miranda said. Her entire body was shocked In apprehension. She turned sharply to me.“All these things, all these problems. It is all because of you.” She pointed at me once again with her bony finger.“No!” A voice said. I turned around to see my father rushing to the front of the room.“Do not attack my daughter.”“Gabriel,” Mira called worriedly.“You dare disrupt this meeting,” Miranda yelled at my father. “You dare talk in front of me, after the monster you brought here.”Gabriel's body shook violently. “You say one more word
Ansari's pov.I walked outside into the cold damp night. It must have been raining while we were inside, everything was covered in a wet film of liquid with little pools of water on the ground.It was always on nights like this, nights the moon should give guidance that I felt the most lonely.The decisions I have been forced to make over the years have never been easy but tonight's decision … I sighed and raised my head to the moon.It was a beautiful full moon, one that should mean so much to my people.But it didn't.If it had been in the old days, everyone would be outside in its light, dwelling in her love and protection.“What am I to do?” I asked. I wanted a sign from the goddess badly. I was now an old woman. Being in charge of this place, of this people was becoming too much for me. But a leader serves until she is beaten or killed. “Help me.” I pleaded. The only response I got was another gust of wind. My coat flapped under its influence and I pushed it down angrily. I sigh
Magnus's pov.“Magnus?” A familiar voice called. I opened my eyes slowly and tried to process my surroundings. “Magnus, brother it's me.” A hand landed on my shoulder. The voice sounded familiar I turned my eyes to the face in front of me.A young handsome Asian face, blue eyes, and extremely thin lips. The lips stretched in a smile.“There we go.” He chuckled lightly revealing extremely white teeth.“Darius?” I asked. He smiled again and my heart leaped instantly.“Darius you're back.” My arms flew forward as I hurried to embrace him. I grabbed him so hard that he groaned out in pain.“Easy brother, easy!!!” He groaned. I released, my pain was still there, and looked at him with happy eyes.“When did you return?” I asked eagerly. Darius had left home for college four years ago. It had been so long, too long to have been away from your best friend.“This morning, Got into town to find it so quiet. It's always quiet but quieter than usual.” He chuckled.“Yeah, things have been rough
Darius's pov.I turned off my phone and looked up at the road in front of me. So that was the girl? That was Selene.I had never had a girlfriend before, I was always too shy to approach anyone, but this girl, this chick was something else. Where do you even get eyes like that from?A sigh left my lips, fucking hell I was tired. I looked at the town around me. It had not changed that much since I left. The same people, the same houses, and I was dead certain they all still had the same ideology.They tried to act the same way in situations that needed to be solved with modern ideologies.A group of kids were playing soccer on a field, and one of them looked up and saw me.He smiled and waved at me. I smiled and waved back.At least they were not so shy anymore, that was a good thing.“Hey!!” A feminine voice called. I turned around to see a slim figure running towards me. It was Selene. My heart skipped a beat within me. She was a different specimen. My God!“Hey.” She panted and res
Selene's pov. I turned a corner and I was soon back at the council hall. The hall was still fucking quiet and I was beginning to feel the tension.The guards would be here any second. I looked at the door, the sounds of approaching guards unnerved me. I ran to the door and pushed, it was rigid in its post.Fucking locked.Where's Darius? I ran my hand through my hair nervously. I was cooked. “Pssst.” A voice came from behind me. I turned around to find the owner of the disembodied voice but all I could see were bushes rustling. “Psst. Selene, Selene!” The voice said once again. I turned to the bushes and saw a hand beckoning to me.“Darius?” I whispered. His face shoot out of the bushes, “Come here.” He whispered back.The sound of approaching guards was getting unbearably closer and so I bolted into the bushes. A hand shot out and dragged me to the ground. I was about to groan out in pain but a palm covered my lips. “Shhhhh.” Daruis's voice whispered. The guards were back and th
