Magnus's povI know, I Know." Gabriel said While looking down at his feet.“And what exactly do you need my help with? You really should think properly. Are you having problems with Saltos, and are you running to me for help? What the fuck do you expect me to do?" Gabriel sighed and turned to Selene before turning back to Olivia. "We need help reaching your mother." Wait, we weren't even here for his ex, only his ex's mother. I had seen the way his ex had reacted to seeing him talk less of her mother. Olivia looked away from us in a dejected manner. "I can't, she doesn't talk to me anymore.""Please, Olivia, I already know what it is," he pleaded. I looked around uneasily.“But the world's end is almost imminent; we need her."I turned to him out of curiosity now. Who the hell was her mother?“You should know by now that she doesn't care about lesser beings," Olivia said. She wanted to walk away, I could already tell. "The moon goddess has a responsibility to her people, she has
Magnus's povI had to remember a way to get him.Something that made Saltos vulnerable. There was no way he was the invincible being he made everyone believe he was.But what?The smell of the air and the way the population sank into your system and corrupted every single aspect of you almost defeated me at first, and then I saw his face.The feeling in the air did not need an explanation, even for the most inexperienced people. Evil, pure, undiluted evil, had risen from the depths of hell. The evil that had come for everything that I had held dear. Daruis's formerly dead body floated in the air with a ghastly-looking smile on its face.“Rise to your feet!!!" He roared, and a strange force carried me up in the air. I tried fighting it but felt like a three-year-old wrestling an adult.“You stand before the one who came and conquered; you stand before the demon lord of old Azareal; you stand before the one reason I haven't killed you already." He turned around to the opening mass on t
Ansari's povI struggled to my feet and turned to Jasper.“You should have seen this coming. It was pretty obvious." He said.My head spun, but I knew what had to be done. Jasper is to be put down soon. "The town, the pack, if your people are all corrupted…" the thought was sickening.“Yes, your people will be killed before the dawn of tomorrow. You might try your best to save them, but you've already got a lot on your hands, and it is as it is." He said with a smile. My daughter, Mira, was back home surrounded by enemies she thought were friends. Jasper was enjoying this… I could not believe this was Jasper."Jasper, you have to fight this; you have to fight Saltos. This isn't you." I pleaded."Ohh, but it is. We wolves have a part of us that craves death and the hunt. Aren't you tired of hiding, of being forced to keep away from humanity?""Please, Jasper," I begged. "You have a mate."“I know that. Too bad Saltos left them uncorrupted. But I'll change them myself when the time com
Ansari's Pov She looked at her, confused. Another boulder landed next to us, disintegrating the poor souls unfortunate enough to be under its reach. Blood was everywhere around me: on the pavement, on the houses, and on the poor, dead people who had gotten crushed.“Good God," I whispered. And then the ringing came to my ears, a low but intense high-frequency tone threatening to destroy my eardrums.“Mum?" Mira called desperately.“Mom, what's wrong?" Her voice was growing distant, and I turned to get away.I yelled out a war cry and began running towards the monster. Parts of the road had been broken up, and pieces of metal jotted out. I jumped from one piece of concrete to another and hopped around like a ballerina. The monster looked down and saw me advancing towards it. It roared angrily and squinted at me. "Foolish bastard, you've already tried that once," I yelled and sprinted at full speed. An average Werewolf is astonishingly fast compared to a human. We are slightly qu
Ansari My dreams were no longer normal.They were now instruments of Saltos.Instruments of extreme torment.I could no longer withstand him…not anymore.He was too powerful, and I was too weak.True, the wounds on some people were still healing, and the town was in ruin. That should have been enough action, but I could have felt the call of war in my soul. It was beckoning to me. It called me; it pulled at my spirit, and all I wanted was to leap at a monster's throat and tear it to shreds.I turned to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. “You should go to your wife. Tell her the truth; I can't have her hoping for something untrue." I said sadly. It had been the case with me. I was waiting for my father in front of our cabin, waiting and pleading for him to come home. But he did not.I had hoped those robbers would spare my family, but they had not either.Hope was nothing but a facade—a stupid little blue scam.He looked at me with Sad eyes and nodded. "She's pregnant."His words
Ansari's pov"What the hell is that thing?" One of the cops asked in complete fear.They were afraid of me, and I knew the nature of man. Kill anything that frightens you.I had to do something that would have them. To at least make me not look like a threat to them. I turned to them and let go of the piece of Jasper's flesh I had in my hand. It fell to the ground with a heavy splat.They all shook in fear and pointed their guns at me.“Do not move!!"“Good God, look at all that blood on it." Someone whimpered.This wasn't working, so I had to find a way to get to the truck. But they were going to follow me all the way back to the pack. I could not risk that.I sighed. I knew what had to be done.But …if I did this, how different would I be from Daruis and Saltos? All those lives were lost because of him.“Captain, what should we do?" A cop asked, fear making his voice shake like an earthquake.“I don't know."But I did. I pounced on them, and in the blink of an eye, I was in their mi
Selene's pov"How did you find me," I asked weakly. My kind felt a number, and I could hardly move my fingers."It wasn't easy, we had to search through the entire town to get to you. Almost took us the entire day to do so." Olivia replied."What happened, honey?" Asked my father, a good voice choked with worry. I reached to him and held his hand. "I don't know, it must have been a mistake, but I took the portion and found myself in the middle of a highway.""You were lucky. People in Iceland are better drivers than those in the states." Magnus had been quiet since I got in, and I wanted to hear him talk, even if it was just one word."How do you feel now dear?" My father asked."Just a number, but I'm better than I was.", I replied. I looked at Magnus, and his eyes caught mine immediately. What was the issue? Why wasn't he talking to me? His silence bothered me, but I did not want it to. The world was in serious trouble, and I had the awful burden of carrying all this weight. I coul
Selene's povGoddess, have mercy!" my father cried in fear as he held on for dear life"Selene, stop this madness!" Magnus said frantically as he held me while staring at the wall of thunder and lightning before us.Now, he chooses to talk. I was in no mood to speak, not anymore."We'll tell you what's in the fucking boot just stop this." My father yelled as the car came a foot closer to the wall of charged electricity. Millions of nerve endings and necrotic cells interconnect the brain. A single thought you make is passed on like bolts of electricity through the brain as it processes it in under a second. That was how long I had to call off the lightning storm before us—less than a freaking second."Fucking hell, your child is crazy," Olivia screamed. Everyone breathed relief, and Olivia stepped out of the vehicle and doubled down on her knees as she took heavy breaths."Are you mad? Do you want to kill us?" My father screamed at me. I wasn't trying to kill them. I knew they would t
