Shawn’s POVIn the blood moon pack.I sat by the fire staring into it as though apparitions were communicating with me. They became bolder and bolder as the firewood cackled under the deep heat pressure it faced.I blinked to be sure my eyesight was clear and I wasn’t just seeing things, but they kept coming closer.Brown ferocious wolves covered in blood that smelled familiar. All of a sudden my shirt got drenched as heavy beads of sweat ran down my face. I began muttering a few spells that I knew could ward off those bloodthirsty beasts. I didn’t know when I got lost in the enchantment until I was tapped on for a second time.“You okay boy?” Shadowvile called hovering over me with a large chunk of meat.“Well- yeah sure,” I cleared my throat and blinked once more looking in my previous direction and around me to find traces of my constant mind tormentors but couldn’t find any.“Well, I doubt that because you look like you had just seen a goblin- or perhaps a troll,”That would be

Marcus’s POVI stood up from the bed and my mind was already a mess. How could she? Does she know the implications of her actions if caught?Was it because I confessed? What the hell was going on in that mind of hers?A mix of anger and hurt coursed through my heart. I never imagined I would ever love someone this much, but I did and I guess I'm bearing the consequences of loving.Maybe I should not have listened to Winston. I should have kept my feelings to myself. Confessing only seemed to have made things worse.I carefully scanned the room and noticed the windows were open, the curtains had been strongly tied to the bedpost and let down out of the window.Looking down, her window gave a beautiful view of the garden and just as I was about to shut the window, realization dawned on me - there was only one place I was sure she could’ve gone.Grayson!I stormed out of the room and made my way straight to the garden. I just hope he didn't let her go away. I would never forgive him. I h

Shawn’s POV “What the hell boy?” Shadowvale yelled. I had just recovered from the sudden attack on my mind, but here he was about to put me back in there. He lowered his rifle and walked in my direction. “I… I… I did not mean to,” I stammered as he got closer to where I crouched. The closer he came towards me, the more I crawled backward in the dirt. “I am sure you did not mean to be a boy, but this is your last warning. Miss my game again and you will regret not dying the first day I met you,” All the while, he was wearing a sinister smile as he kept approaching me till he made sure I was afraid. As he finished speaking, my heart had already accelerated far beyond its normal rate and my eyes felt like they were surely going to fall off. Seeing his desired reaction from me, Shadowvale laughed like the maniac he was and stormed off, leaving me on the cold ground. As he walked away, anger bubbled inside me and my fists were turning white from the pressure I had put on it. I

Marcus's POV “Master Marcus, I did not mean to anger you. I went into her room but was not allowed because she had a flu,” Winston was clinging to the cell room iron bars and pleading for himself but I was already too agitated to hearken unto his pleas. “Please Master Marcus,” He pleaded again. I frowned and raised my hands and the guard behind me hurried to open the room for him. “Find out who started the rumor that she had caught the flu and bring the person to me, or you will go back into where you're just coming out from,” I said coldly and left. As I walked out, I could see his hurt expression and I also saw his lips move slowly. I sighed and walked away. I went back to my wing got into my chambers and laid on my bed. It had been a long and painful day. A day I will forever not forget. The day I was the most silly. Loving Lily has taught me the good and the bad. More of the bad though than the good. I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes to sleep. Closing my ey

Leila’s POVI walked out of Marcus's room feeling excited about what was about to come. If he was back to being cold towards his servants, then that could only mean that I was close to achieving my goal.All I had to do now was put on a nice act and win everyone's heart. I smiled sinisterly at my thoughts.I arrived at the balcony overlooking the banquet hall and looked in the opposite direction. The other side of the hallway led down to that little witch's room.I walked in that direction without giving much thought to it. I arrived at her door and there were guards stationed there.So much trouble for just the flu.I immediately put on my act and approached the guards.“Miss Leila,” They greeted with a curt bow.“Hmmm,” I replied to their greeting. My blue eyes were moistened well enough but no tears fell. “How is she?”“She is sick.” One of the guards replied.“Can I see her?” I asked, wearing a pitiful look.“I'm sorry, but there have been strict restrictions against her visitors
