“ So you are saying that you received a tip? One that told you that there was a bunch of more bodies buried under the land?” Logan confirmed with the enforcer who was in charge of finding the bodies in the back of the council’s land. “ Yes, someone tipped me that there was another set of bodies buried under the ones that we dug out and so… I picked up a few people and then went to dig the land,” he hesitated before telling Logan what happened in the evening. “ We dug the land where we found the bodies earlier, one of these bodies belonged to Nolan while the rest of them are older than twenty years or so.” “ Looks like someone did not want these corpses to be dug out while someone wanted them to see the light just as much,” Logan remarked as he turned his attention to the corpses that were lying on the stretchers. He looked at the decomposed skeletons. He first looked at Nolan’s whose skin was paler than the moon but was yet to start decomposing, from what he could see the post-morte
Madam Adele who was kneeling on the ground next to Elder Parkinson could not help but say, “ Look at this Madam Greta. No matter what we did, we are still the elders of this pack or the widows of the elders who sacrificed their lives for this pack. How can Alpha Logan punish us for a witch like this? We have begged for forgiveness.” “ You should be glad that your bodies are still intact after you touched my mate,” Logan rolled his eyes before turning to look at Madam Adele who stiffened and bowed her head when she saw him looking at her. “ But looks like you are really not in the mood to keep your limbs intact?” “ What are you doing?” Greta hissed as she looked at Logan with a vindictive expression. “ All of this for what? A witch… the one who killed——”“ She is my mate,” Logan whipped his head as he hissed right back. His words were forcefully and dominating as his voice echoed in the surroundings that went silent, “ Thats the end of the matter. They touched her, dragged her, punch
“ A ticket to Moshvil,” said Levy to the woman who was sitting behind the ticket counter. The lady was munching on a bubble gum and arched a brow when she raised her head as she looked at Levy. Of course, Levy noticed how the woman’s eyes rested on her cheek which was swollen but she did not say anything and fortunately, the woman did not either as she went back to look at the screen of the computer. The woman tapped on the keyboard and the entire ticket counter was filled with the sound of keys clicking when Levy heard the woman say, “ Sorry we are booked for Moshvil.” “ Booked? Then what about Magior?” Levy questioned as she looked at the receptionist. When she ran out of the territory, she came up with a plan to head down to these two places as witches and wizards dominated these two cities even with the presence of the shifters. Upon hearing her words, the woman behind the counter arched a brow and then looked at Levy before saying, “ Nope, the flight to this city had been can
The little restaurant that Derek was talking about was indeed not far from the airport. The two of them went inside the restaurant where Derek ordered a hearty lunch for the two of them. While he spoke to the waiter, Levy stared out of the window wondering whether Logan found out about her disappearance or not, and if he did then was he looking for her now?“ Did something happen today?” Her thoughts came to a sudden halt as she looked at Derek who had finished ordering. Maybe it was her silence that caused him to ask such a question. Levy shook her head and then replied, “ Nothing happened at all. What about you? Are you done with your work?” Though Derek had to travel to Magior no matter what the situation. He decided to ignore the order from the higher-ups just for now, it wasn’t as if he would be able to rescue everyone who was in trouble anyway. He was just going to that city to take a look. He smiled at Levy and nodded, “ Thats right. I have finished most of my work.” He looked
“ Then I will leave you two alone,” Derek said to Amaira, Levy noticed that even though their eyes met, the two of them were perfectly polite. There were no sparks instead they looked rather calm as if they were colleagues or partners who did not have the slightest bit of feelings towards one another. “ You sure can,” Amaira nodded as Derek walked away. Once he was gone, Amaira took Levy by her arm and then led her to the guest room which was unused. “ You can stay here for the night. No one stays in this room, sometimes I wonder if there is some sort of story behind this empty room, haha.” She joked before turning the light on in the room. It was a beautiful room with peach walls and light pink curtains fluttering inside. Levy had never seen a room as beautiful as this one before, because back at the territory her father could not be bothered to decorate her room and when she moved into Logan’s lodge, she stayed in his room which was decorated in nothing but black. “ It’s beautifu
“ Are you Derek? Hello, I am Ginny. I will be in charge of teaching you about the foundation of magic,” Ginny introduced herself to him, she was a very beautiful woman. With her red hair that floated behind her and brown eyes that were filled with warmth that he had never seen after the death of his mother. Derek nodded. He did not greet her back nor did he say anything else, it wasn’t that he disliked her because he knew that even if he was to greet her, nothing would happen. He would slowly get close to her, only for her to leave him once she realized that he was a dark mage whose power was uncontrollable. Ginny did not say anything nor did she reprimand him when she saw that he did not greet her, instead she opened the book that she had brought with her and then placed it on the study table. Derek read the title of the chapter that was written on the head of the page——‘ Foundation of Magic.’ ‘ I have read it many times,’ thought Derek. He had read these chapters many times but
“ Where is your daughter, Ginevra?” Derek heard his adoptive father say to the woman in front of him. “ Where is she? You better hand her to me, I will let you live if you hand that girl to me. Consider her sacrifice as something that you owe me.” “ I do not owe you anything! You were a terrible person even when you were young and you are even more horrendous now that you have grown up,” Ginny coughed as she clutched the wound on her abdomen. She looked at his adoptive father with disgust and added, “ Just look at what you have become. A human skin chameleon. I can’t even recognize you anymore. Just how many sacrifices have you made for this shell?” Chameleon? Shell? What did Ginny mean by that? “ I see. So you are not going to tell me where your daughter is?” His adoptive father however did not mind the things that Ginny was saying. He was calm and collected as he looked at Ginny who shook her head and sneered, “ I would rather die than let my daughter become a shell for you. You
Derek agreed to help his adoptive father, of course, he was not going to kill Jones, he would at most help him escape the clutches of his father like many others who were foolish enough to believe that they could go against Harris. That afternoon he went outside the territory to take a look around when he saw a small restaurant. It had always been there for a very long time and he had seen that restaurant function for years even though many shifters wanted it closed, all because it was run and owned by an outcast who was kicked out of his pack after his mate was killed by the alpha and the rest of the pack while he tried to avenge her. However, it wasn’t the restaurant that caught his attention. It was the young woman who was missing an eye who attracted him in a minute, he looked at the woman with her flaming ringlets that fell on her face while she served the customers with a smile and he did not even know when his feet took him inside the restaurant where he took a seat and calle
Levy didn’t even get a chance to breathe when Logan engulfed her in his arms. He tightly held her as he whispered,” Fuck, you scared me.” When Levy heard him say those words, her eyes softened. She knew that only a few minutes had gone by since she was taken to the magical realm by the goddess of magic. She then felt his body go pliant against herself as he questioned, “Why did you do it? You knew that you could have died and our child ….” He whispered as he looked at her abdomen. His wolf curled up protectively, fortunately, the child was still alive. Either through magic or the power that Logan had breathed into Levy’s body when her soul disappeared. “I didn’t want to do that,” Levy’s eyes darkened when she heard his words. With her hand placed on her abdomen, she said, “I had no idea that I was pregnant with our pup. If I had known then no matter how strong the resentment of my past was, I would have stopped her no matter what.” “Fortunately, I am fine and so is our pup, looks
“Happiness is subjective, my child. Once my daughter’s memories fade away, she will forget you,” said the Goddess with a calm voice. “But I cannot trust a man born from a shifter with my daughter.”Logan clenched his fists and said, “You are wrong. Levy is not like that, and you know that. She is the future of Elaine, and Elaine did not forget what Jasper and Alyssa did to her. Even though centuries passed by she kept that pain in her heart and soul.”“Even after her death, her soul did not forget the pain and continued to harbour the resentment that she could have forgotten,” Logan knew that he was playing with fire but he would rather burn to death than let Levy leave him. “I might have Jasper’s blood but I am not a vain and greedy man like him, I promise to love Levy and keep her happy. I will cherish her no matter what.” “I have heard these words, my child,” said the woman with a smile on her face. Though she was smiling there was a hint of contempt in her eyes. “I have heard the
Logan glanced at Derek. At that moment he felt like his heart was burning with a fire, one that he wished he could set free on the world. What was going on? His mate, who was fine just a moment ago was now dead. “Why? Why did this happen to her?” Logan questioned. His mate deserved better than this, no one deserved the world. So how come? Was there no God up there? How could they watch his mate lose her life like such?Derek opened his mouth and closed it back. He knew that Logan was in pain and he was not in a condition to understand anything. He reached out his hand and then held it in front of Logan before saying, “Take my hand, I can bring you and her to the southern palace.” The mana in his body was running low but he could still warp to the Southern Palace. Logan pursed his lips, he looked at Levy whose face was getting paler by the minute and then reached out to hold Derek’s hand. He did not know what lay in the Southern Palace but Levy was the one who asked him to go there
Carlisle’s expression changed. He wanted to escape but Derek seemed to have understood his intentions. He raised his hand and drew another array, the vines that had caught Carlisle in a vice-like grip, twisted and turned as they started to climb higher and higher until the vines had covered him completely. Derek didn’t even bat an eye as he tightened the vines, the sound of a mournful scream echoed in the distance before blood and flesh gushed out of the vines that had twisted around Carlisle's body. “You!” Alyssa turned to look at Derek. Her eyes flashed cruelly, she looked at Derek and sneered, “You killed your brother? Mavis was right, you have always been a stain on my blood.” When Derek heard her words, he calmly glanced at the woman. He said, “I might be a stain in the name of the dark witches and wizards but what about you, Father? You have killed your sister not to mention how many families have you ruined. No matter what, compared to you, I am still nothing.” Alyssa stare
The two people fell together. Alyssa who noticed that Levy had grown stronger, realized that the plan that she had come up with, seemed to have fallen through. “You have always been one pain in the bottom, sister,” Alyssa snarled, showing her dark teeth, that were rotting because of her body deteriorating with time. She raised her hand and then pushed herself off the boulder floating over her body. With the dagger that she had made with the claws of the first shifter, she aimed at Levy’s heart, with a twisted expression. But Levy raised her hand and drew an array to block the dagger. The sharp blade clashed with her shield, however, the dagger was made with the claw of a shifter. The two powers clashed with one another causing sharp waves to rise from the spot of the collision. The shield cracked and Levy waved her hand sending Alyssa to the side of the mountainous wall. However, Alyssa didn’t let Levy escape. She ignored the pain at her back and rushed to where Levy was, she caug
‘She has been preparing for this day for centuries,’ Elaine whispered. ‘And the dark witches and wizards are under her control. She must have deliberately licked out the wrong information. We have no time, you need to let me take over. Only when I have full control can I finish the last half of the curse.’ Levy thought about it, she had no way to get out of this cell as Alyssa seemed to have prepared it just for her. Her eyes narrowed and she said, ‘I am willing but I have one condition.’ ‘What is it?’ Elaine asked. ‘You will not kill or hurt Logan like you did the last time, no matter what the situation. I know that he shares the same blood as the man who betrayed us but he is my mate, I cannot lose him. As long as he lives, I am willing to do anything,’ Levy waited for the witch’s response as she had gone quiet.‘I will not kill him. Since you are my essence and he is your mate, I cannot take him away. I will think of a way to stop the curse from affecting him,’ Elaine gave her w
“Shut up!” Alyssa turned to look at Levy. Her eyes flashed with anger, and with her feet turning around she marched up to Levy, her chest heaved up and down as she said, “What do you mean by cowardly? I am the one who united the dark witches and wizards! I was the one who killed your mother and I was the one who took your father and mate away from you.” “Cowardly? Hah!” Alyssa’s eyes turned black. Her lips curled disdainfully, “Have you forgotten who sent you to the prison? It was I, dear sister... I was the one who ruined your life. All your lives!” “And yet you are here,” Levy smiled without sounding offended. She glanced at the rotten body that was patched and sewn together like a doll that had been sewn together because of a child’s stubbornness, who refused to throw it away. “In this pathetic condition.” “Elaine, you seemed to have turned much more talkative and bold than before. Don’t worry, sooner or later you will be in the same condition,” Alyssa then raised the vial that
Even though Derek spoke those words as soon as Levy breathed life into his corpse, he was a step too late. The trap that the dark witch had set for Levy was in motion, the second Levy tried to rescue Derek. She knew that Levy would try to save Derek the second, she found out about his death. The two of them have been so close to one another and Derek had even placed his life on the life to protect Levy. So how could that woman ignore him? Thus, she had created a port-way using Derek’s corpse which would lead Levy to her. The dark fumes rose in the morgue before ——“LEVY!” Logan’s eyes turned red with anger when he saw that his mate was taken away. His face twisted as he walked over to where Derek was lying. Logan did not care if this man just woke from the slumber of death, he only cared about one thing and that was ——Derek was the key to everything. “Where is my mate? Where did you take her? She saved your rotten life O Neil!” Logan’s fingers curled around Derek’s throat, if not
“W..what?” The glass in Levy’s hands slipped when she heard about Derek’s death. Pieces of glass were scattered all over the ground. “What did you say?” There was no way Derek was dead, she just met him a few days ago, how could he be dead all of a sudden? She asked Logan, “Who told you such ridiculous news?”“No one,” Logan sighed. He was at the council where the body of Derek was brought before being placed in the morgue. “I saw his corpse being carried to the morgue. His body was found by the forest rangers and they sent him to the council.” Logan knew that Derek was important to Levy, and even though she did not like him romantically, she cared for him just as much as Derek cared for her. This news must have shattered her in a way he couldn’t even imagine. “Ho…how could he be dead?” Levy muttered, her feet shaking as she staggered behind. If not for Logan, she would have fallen on the floor. “Careful,” Logan said as he reached out and caught her waist. “Can…can you bring me t
