The cave was dark, their only source of light was the flashlights they were using as they walked towards Veratora's tomb. But Elena noticed something suspicious about the fireflies in the cave. She had seen them somewhere but couldn't remember where, but she figured it's better."Don't let them touch you," Elena said, still wondering where she had seen the fireflies, then it clicked. She recalled they were called Mesopo fireflies — extremely poisonous files they were made by the first Witch to defend the bodies of her dead children. It is said that a single perch on the skin could be deadly, it was even taught in class. We were shown pictures of the victims and it was not a pretty sight"Why?" one of the men asked, but before Elena could respond, three out of the five remaining guards suddenly stopped, their skin colour began to turn snow white and they shook and fell, spasming uncontrollably and began to foam in the mouth-a shred of evidence that the files had touched them somehow.El
Lisa stared at her mother waiting for an explanation, "I asked you a question mother, what demon are you talking about, who killed Sarah?" Lisa yelled at her mother rage evident in her tone "Veratora of course, I made a deal with her, and she took Sarah as payment!" Elena mumbled nor realising what she had just said because she was overcome by grief, Lisa crawled further away from her mother, staring at her with fear I herf eyes."No that can't be true, mother you wouldn't do that" Lisa said as she tried to wrap her head around what her mother had just confessed, her mother sacrificed her own daughter to a demon for a wish.In fear and disgust, Lisa ran out of h1er little sister's room heading for the servant quarters trying to get away from her mother so she could wrap her head around what her mother had just confessed. She found a dark corner to hide herself in, rocking back and forth as her mother's confession kept replaying in her head. Her mother killed her sister for power. T
Killian Estate in the wolf region…On getting back to the wolf region, Killian felt his bond with his mate weaken but he brushed it off, thinking maybe she had fallen asleep. Killian smiled to himself gloating in his victory, he was already one step close to getting everything he wanted, after the council was destroyed no one would dare cross him.He would rule the whole supernatural species with his dear Elena by his side, Killian had always loved Elena even if he already had a mate, what he felt towards his mate wasn't love but possessiveness due to the mate bond, he could reject her but he needed her to give birth to his heirs, that's was the only reason he kept her with him.But her stay with him will soon come to an end, she was eight months pregnant with two twin boys and by the time he gives him his heirs she would be out of his life and he would take Elena as his Queen.On getting to his mansion he descends the carriage walking into his home, his beta Daniel is the first to gr
East region……Ella paced back and forth in the throne room, everything wasn’t going according to plan, in such a short amount of time everything had been ruined and a little girl's life was lost along the line. Where did she go wrong?She still couldn’t believe how her sister could do such a thing and to her own child at that, another thing she couldn’t believe was that Veratora was real, their mother always told them about her and that she wasn't to be trusted, what she took in exchange for a wish was always extreme.But Elena still went along and asked her for a wish. Did her search for power make her irrational? She had to do something about her before she ruined another person's life.She was lost in thought and wasn’t paying attention when the guards announced Serena’s arrival. Serena walked in, drawing her out of her dark musings. One glance at the girl showed she had been crying. Ella’s heart constricted with empathy. She knew Serena loved Stephen like a brother even if they j
It's been a week now since Stephen has slipped into a coma. Adrian thought as he paced in front of the lined dummy for sparring, getting ready to start. He swung his long sword repeatedly, cutting through thin air.Adrian moved smoothly with the longsword in his hands, the thought that Stephen’s men had decided to lounge about in his absence ignited his exasperation as he hit the dummy repeatedly, instilling more energy than necessary, making him seem as if he was battling with a living, breathing person he wished to destroy. The fact that he had no control over them vexed him the more.A war was coming and they were drinking their days away, acting like their captain wasn't in there, fighting for his life. He was glad that at least some of them took their duties a bit more seriously and some had even joined him for training, His thoughts shifted to Serena again, and that calmed his anger a bit. He could feel her emotions, and knew she was crying again.Adrian sighed, knowing the only
Adrian dropped his long sword as he pulled out the daggers from Malik causing him to cry in pain and finally turned his attention to his opponent.Simon was waiting for him in the center of the sandy arena, unlike the others he was dressed in his full armour but his helmet was missing. Making his face a perfect target, because the armour he was wearing reduced Adrian's chance of hurting Simon. Simon took a short dagger in one hand, a curved dagger in the other.Tightening his grip on his daggers, he approached the knight. As he got closed, the guard fell into an attack stance, the short dagger was placed in front and the curved one behind him. "You can't beat me Noble," Simon said. It appeared his confidence has returned and it was now fueled by anger. Adrian figured he was trying to save face. He must find it humiliating to be challenged like this in front of his men.Adrian adjusted his step, circling to his right -- just outside the reach of the guard's short dagger. "Wanna bet,"
Three days later….Serena was waiting at the entrance of the castle prison barracks, Adrian was going to be released today and she had been restless since the day before.Queen Ella made sure she fulfilled Adrian's request before he came out, Simon, Henderson and Malik were banished for their crimes against the Royal family and the Queen.While Ace the one who had defended Simon was made his second in command, he also broke the record of being the second in command at such a young age, because of Adrian the other guards who were planning on betraying Stephen fell in line.The sound of the gates opening brought Serena out of her thoughts, a large figure approached the gate and Serena instantly knew it was her mate when his scent hit her.She didn't wait for him to say a word before she ran towards him wrapping her whole body around him, Adrian who was caught by surprise by her action almost tipped over."Hello, little one" Adrian said placing a kiss on her temple, "did you miss me" "Y
Belle searched through the books in the castle library and everyone keeps telling her the same thing, with a sigh she fell into the nearest chair, it's been a week now and she as found nothing to help StephenShe was in the final book that had anything related to magic induced coma when she felt some strange aura wrap around her. Belle git yo her feet moving away from the table to look around if anyone else was in the room with her."Who is there?" Belle asked but got no answer in return. Then a gush of cold air washed through the room and next thing Belle knew she was in a dark dirty old house."Whoever you are, this isn't funny, this prank is going too far," Belle said into the empty room but her voice just echoes off the wall of the house."I'm not someone you want to mess with" Belle said as a fog of smoke began to form and a figure was standing inside itBelle tried to make out what it was but she could see anything."Hello Belle" the figure said in an unearthly voice."Who are y
