Lilith's POVI've gravitated to the room with my daughter's soul again—something pulling me up here as everyone goes about their afternoon quietly. The pools all sat at equal intervals on the floor, their contents glowing, illuminating the room with enough light to be able to see before me.Immediately I walk to the one she resides in, dipping my hand inside the liquid to find her unique purple soul. I note the liquid is warm, possibly at body temperature, and it illuminates in a blue hue. It's there, hiding at the bottom of the pool all by itself where, as the others are huddled as a unit, somewhat like a pack, if I could use that as a way to describe them.They mingle within the smallest of circles yet never part.I pick my daughter up, her form going rigid as she frets at being moved.But then she blossoms, spreading out in my palm as if trying to hug me, and I can feel her happiness at being near me."Are you so sure of wanting to be paired with Aspen?" I ask aloud, even with th

Two Years AgoDamian's POVWe are walking down a long dark corridor in a building I've never visited before.It's dark, drag and erie.Unwelcoming at its best.I've yet to figure out how to gain control, so I remain in my mind watching Hati... Onyx, control my life.Have you ever heard of that saying you walk through your life with blinkers on? Well, I have, and I have first-hand experience with it."Hati..." a small girl dressed inappropriately greets him."Ah, Abigail. How beautiful you look this evening; where is Zeus?" He asks."In your room, waiting for you, sir," the girl recites."Very good, don't go too far... I may have time to squeeze you in," he laughs."Of course," the girl mumbles quietly as if she doesn't particularly want to hang around, but she knows it's imperative to for her safety.I fear for the girl, but there's nothing I can do, so I swallow the feeling down to watch on quietly as Hati greets Zeus."Ah, dear Zeus. What calls for this meeting?" He asks."Just a c

Lilith's POVWar is raging all around me, wolves fighting wolves, humans fighting humans.There's not one ounce of serene happiness for as long as the eye can see.I'm standing at the tree's edge, Khai on one side of Theo and me on the other. They are one step ahead, protecting me. Using their bodies as shields, but no one can touch me; no one's as strong as I am, and that's why I move between them, breaking through their security to walk amongst my people.No one notices me as I walk in between them. My bare feet hit the grass silently, and it's as if I'm regal.Moving at a slow speed as time halts to the slowest pace it can.Wolves are lunging for one another, striking for each other's necks.Humans are drawing weapons meant to kill.Knives, guns... the claws of their wolves.Blood spurts, people fall in slow motion to the ground, and my heart hurts zMy people cannot be fighting this way; they shouldn't be fighting."Stop," I yell. My voice sounded across the horizon for anyone to

Lilith's POVWe land with a crack of thunder and a spark of lightning on top of a snow-covered mountain.The sky is bleak and white, and the air is surprisingly warm.My breath coke sour in a gust of warm air.My brain tells me it should be freezing, that the air should be biting my skin, but I’m surprisingly warm, considering all of the snow covering the floor around me.“Come, the walks lovely,” Zeus tells me.He reaches his hand out to offer me, but I snub his request, stuffing my hands deep inside the dressing gown adorned on my body.We walk through the snow and high up on the mountain. My breath came ragged and sparse.“Deep breaths now; the altitude is high,” he encourages.I don’t say a word, walking silently behind him as I try to take in as much of the view as I possibly can.We are high up on the mountainside.Below is nothing but mountains, trees and snow.It’s picturesque, and I wish I could just stop to take in the marvellous sight before me. But Zeus is on a mission, w

Lilith’s POVZeus keeps to his word, bringing me home before the sun has even thought about rising in the sky.It’s still pitch black outside, besides the shine of the moon high in the sky, yet it feels right to be standing out here within the darkness.Zeus teleported us here from the top of the mountainside, which has mildly pissed me off.Why make me walk so far if he could have just teleported me there instead?I walk through the years and into the house and then climb the stairs.I feel less restless now but tired, so I climb the stairs and round the corner and slip inside the room, where I find Khai and Theo sleeping exactly where I had left them.So I drop the dressing gown and climb between them, letting their scent calm my nerves and finally allowing sleep to consume me.~~~I wake to the sound of my own heartbeat racing in my ears as I wake from another frightful dream where I was forcing the people down on earth to follow me.This time I was in a chair made from metal, and
