Chapter 43

The forest glowed with an incandescent light that could have been easily mistaken for an external source, but the fireflies were the cause. They buzzed their wings and sunned themselves in the last dying light of the sun, turning the forest into something ethereal to behold. The trees were green and the flowers bloomed fiercely as the wind carried their fragrance far and wide.

The forest was home to many creatures, both small and big. They were usually seen in the large strong branches of the trees or amidst their many roots. At this time, they were alive with the rich sounds of different insects and animals vying for who was the loudest. They were a monument to the rise and fall of the orchestra being played, for free inside it. The crickets cricked, cicadas whistled and the frogs croaked. If you strained your ears hard enough, you could almost hear the gurgling of water from a nearby fountain as

    Chapter 44The first thing Germaine saw when she opened her eyes were four pairs of eyes staring intently at her. What was even more unsettling was the fact that they were peering at her as if she was some insect that needed probing.That was when she realized she was lying down on a bed.She groaned and lifted her hand to her pounding head. "Wh- what happened?""You fell!" Amelia said in a flat voice. "After you said-"Galieel placed a hand on her's and she immediately clamped up. Germaine did not miss the grateful look Keratin gave him. "I think she needs some air, can you all please move back."They all shuffled back, and Germaine immediately closed her eyes as Keratin placed a warm hand on her forehead. The pounding reduced to a dull throb, and seconds later, it disappeared. She opened her eyes and latched onto his warm brown ones. "How did you-?"Your pain is my pain, my love. He said to her via the mind

    Chapter 45One second, she was conversing with Daya, and the next, she found herself on the ground, on the other side of the forest, confused with the force of what had just taken place.She tried to get up but found she could not. Something held her down. Something that someone had done to make her unable to even move. "Here - give me your hand, let me help you."Lady Lucia looked up to see Illiana, her second in command, holding her hand. She shook her head wonderingly. "How did you get-?""That does not matter now, just take my hand and let me help you up, and then we can talk." Illiana's voice was soft and kind. Her countenance did not betray any vindictiveness.Lady Lucia nodded and took the proffered hand. Immediately after their fingers touched, she felt an alien feeling engulf her. It slunk through her veins and permeated her limbs. Within seconds, it was over and she went limp."It is done!" She he

    Chapter 46 "I've got his leg, I'm bringing him up!" Someone shouted from up above him. He angled his body at the same time he lifted one of his hands which was dangling past his head, cleared the hair away from his face, and lifted his head to look. Indeed! It was as he expected. He was hanging upside down and someone held onto one of his legs and was gesturing wildly to someone else beside him to hold on to his other leg, to pull him up. The journey back up was slow and excruciating. His head hurt and all the blood flow in his body went straight to his head. By the time he was pulled up to safety, he was numb all over, and shaking like a leaf. ". . . could have happened to him?" ". . . want to kill himself?" ". . . have died if not that we came along." Words swam above his head and he felt like shrinking into himself. Something was happening to him. Something strange. He thought it was the forest he was in - it had beckoned him, called to him, and he could not resist. How was

    Chapter 47 As the words fell from her lips, she knew she had goofed. She remembered Keratin telling her that mating someone comes when it comes. In other words, it's the wolf that takes over, and not the human, because it instinctively knows when it's mate is ready because of its strong keen senses, so even if she said she was ready, Keratin's wolf might not mark her because it truly knew when she was. She decided to do something about her earlier statement. "I will not stand for this. . ." She wove her hand about helplessly. "Talking about me like I'm not here, it's just not on. Marking me is something of a private nature and not one to be talked about carelessly and recklessly." She knew she was grasping at straws, but she knew she was on to something because Keratin had also told her marking a mate was a private affair and usually done when no one else was near. Sometimes while mating, the man would change into his wolf, and sink its teeth into a part of the body of his mate, l

She had to crane her neck to look at her because, not only was Mistress Toussard tall, she had on high heels on which she tottered on, such that she glared, or presently smirked, down at Lady Lucia.She let loose a high-pitched sound, something between a chuckle and a laugh, as she saw the look on Lady Lucia's face. "It is nice of you to grace us with your presence, vampire-mage, follow me, your chamber awaits you."Lady Lucia knew that no chamber awaited her. A cell - four by four meters wide - with glaring, protruding lights and a stiff wooden bench to sit on, or l

    Chapter 50Alright, so let me take one of his legs, and you take the other one and we can -There came the putter of a growl Germaine had come to recognize as a chuckle.She huffed. You're laughing at me again, I can tell.As she bent down to lift the man's legs, Keratin's voice infiltrated her mind. Germaine, my love, don't touch him, please. Remember broga doesn't work on we wolves and I am quite sure it is the same with these vampires. That is why I added a little incentive to knock him out.They were currently in the cabin of one of Rage's men, having found out he was the one holding onto the Ork.Comprehension dawned on Germaine as she realized what he was saying. You want it to take proper effect before we move him. I understand. Better still, you are not going to touch him at all. I will do the moving.Germaine felt disappointed but she later cheered up once more. Fine! But I'll be the one to retrieve the

    Chapter 50Time seemed to stand still as the two Mages eyed each other warily. Lady Lucia's heart thumped painfully in her chest. Everything was happening swiftly, too suddenly. Was this really happening? Had she really challenged Toussard, the head of Tirria, to a duel?Yes! Toussard was her arch-enemy, but that only made everything even more surreal. She was about to duel with her when she wasn't even sure she could win.Lady Lucia dipped her hand inside the pocket of her cloak and gripped the razor lying there until it slit the soft skin of her palm. As a mage, she was not meant to dabble in witchcraft, but she was up against a worthy opponent, and knowing Toussard, she would fight tooth and nail to see she was bested. A little darkness was needed, after all, she could not very well use her fangs on her. She would be torn to shreds within seconds by the other Mages present.She definitely needed to employ

Some people might contemplate the afterlife or wonder if they were headed to heaven or hell, or pray to a deity.Germaine, on the other hand, thought about ice cream - a double vanilla fudge ice cream.If only she had not agreed to take the second Ork, none of this would have happened. Never mind that - if she had never agreed to go with Storm, Keratin, and Kenki, to their world, she would not have presently been caught in a whirlwind of water, kicking her feet like crazy as she tried not to sink.Unfortunately, her efforts were paltry at best, because. . .She sank like a rock.A big, big, rock.Tied to an anvil.One hour earlierAs Germaine stared at the man standing in front of her, she wished, with a deep pang, she had the power to turn back the hands of time.

Recognition, maybe, but she didn't know any of them. They always left with disappointed looks on their faces. Amongst them was a man who sat with her for a while. He was very handsome with bright blue hooded eyes and long straight hair. She itched to run her fingers through his hair knowing fully well it would feel like a silky curtain.He always held her hand and spoke to her but she didn't understand a word of what he said. He had a sad look on his face which she longed to wipe off but she could not because she could not move her body.She had dreams of a man with a scar on his face telling her to wake up and come back to the living because there were people who waited for her and wanted her alive.

    Chapter 107 Germaine ran toward the table but unfortunately, she never made it there. Just as she was a hair's breadth away from it, a hand reached out and snatched up the talisman. "This never gets old, I tell you." In front of her stood a smirking Rage. He had on a long black cloak with a hood covering his head. The concentric lines on his face glowed eerily, adding to his otherworldly look. There was a terrible fascination about him that Germaine could not place. She could not tear her eyes away from his face. She tried to move, but it seemed she was stuck to the spot. She could not even turn her head. Her eyes tracked his movement as he walked past her. "So predictable, Lucia, and so disappointing." He chuckled darkly. "You did exactly what I predicted you would." Germaine heard a whimper and realized it had come from her. "Did you think that I would leave something so precious lying around if it were not a trap?" He chuckled darkly once more. "So stupid, my child." Germaine he

    Chapter 106The bubble Keratin and the others traveled in smelt of Ash and smoke. It lasted a few minutes but to him, it seemed like a lifetime. A lifetime of being away from Germaine. He had been mostly chatty, deliberately keeping his mind busy so as not to ponder on his missing mate and how they would go about rescuing her.He had brainstormed with Storm and the others and concluded. Rage had taken her, thanks to the revelations from Storm after channeling the moon goodness. They knew she was being held in Tirria.The issue they had was how to get inside the headquarters of the Magedom - the glasshouse, undetected. That was where Dilla came in. Having once worked inside the glass house as a mage, he designed a detailed map. He even knew the times the Mages had their meals and also when they would gather for training. The only issue was Rage who had taken over. He was a wild card, one they had to be wary of.

For the second actually- the third time in her life and a short space as well, she had been kidnapped. She closed her eyes and pondered on how she got herself locked inside a rusty-looking cage.It came to her in an instant.Rage had appeared out of the blue and of course, she goaded him. He didn't like that at all. From one moment to the next, everything went dark and when she woke, she was behind bars in a rusty cage in an empty room. She cursed Rage and her rotten luck. There was no way out of this except to bargain. She knew that would catch his attention.The question though, was what would she bargain with?She sighed as she opened her eyes. A dark pair of eyes stared back at her and she let out a shrill scream. The person staring at her looked fearful as if she would be caug

    Chapter 104Keratin had experienced Germaine shutting her mind to him before. It hurt him when she did it and when he could not read her thoughts. However, there was a grave difference between shutting down the mind link and not getting any reading on the person's thoughts.The latter is what he experienced.It was a blank canvas. She was there, but it was silent. He had experienced this same thing before her. The day she was thrown into the sea while on the vessel by one of Rage's men. It was a horrible feeling, one he did not want to experience again. As he lifted his sword and sliced off the neck of the last creature, he knew something had happened to her and his heart sank.He looked around, assessing the damages. Apart from one of their warriors who had been taken down, they were relatively alright. Storm was fine as well as the other warriors. He sighted Dilla and Zar taking stock of the damages. Galieel

Her breaths came out in fast short bursts.Hot tears of frustration pooled in her eyes but she quickly blinked them away. She released a harsh breath when she remembered what she had read in the tome back in Dilla's house. She was referred to as a savior.She - a savior?Ha! They must have mistaken her for someone else. She couldn't even help herself out of her situation, so how was she to help any of the others? For once, Keratin was silent. Up above her, the ground trembled and rumbled. She didn't need to be told that he, as well as the others, were fighting for their lives.Fueled with a sudden fierce determination, she focused on her breathing.When cornered, do not try to use your powers because they won't work.But why?Because you would have unknowingly locked them up.

He would maneuver to the right and attack with his claws while he would give way for other warriors to flank him. he would remain in front, leading, always keeping her safe by blocking her from harm.Even his warriors were not spared from being shielded by him. What she found confusing was when she saw how he would change to a human and attack the creatures with his sword, cutting off their heads if they got too close or crowded around them.How possible was this? Would she still be on his back or would she fall off?A skilled werewolf can change from animal to man, and back again within the twinkling of an eye.

She could not for the life of her, understand the excitement she felt at that moment. Inside of her, her powers flowed to her fingertips, ready to come out at the slightest urging.She could barely focus on what Storm was saying. He was giving a speech but it made no sense to her because all her senses were on the figures fast approaching in the sky. Nevertheless, she forced herself to listen to him as he reeled out instructions. The only instruction she would follow was to maim and kill the enemy."- and so the female mates will sit on the backs of their wolves."Say what?She put her hand up.

The mate bond sang in his veins and the call for protection was too strong for him to ignore.He tore into the tent where the females were and zeroed in on his mate sleeping soundly. He took some seconds to admire her sleeping form before striding forward. He knew what he was about to do was wrong. He knew he should blow the whistle which would alert everyone about the impending danger, but not yet.First. . . he needed to get his mate to safety.Not wasting any more time, he placed his large palm over her mouth and her eyelids fluttered open.
