“ They have found the culprit? So soon? That is something that I have never seen before,” chuckled Logan he did not care whether his words offended the man who was standing next to him. “ Is the culprit really the right one?” Harris’s expression could not help but become sombre as he heard Logan’s insulting words, he understood what Logan was insinuating and he was not happy with it at all which was why he narrowed his eyes and said, “ You should keep track of what you say, Alpha Logan. The words you say make it sound like you are trying to question the council.” “ I am not trying, Harris. I am questioning the council,” corrected Logan as he looked at the man who stopped climbing the stairs and then turned to look at him with a glare. But Logan did not flinch, instead he met that glare head-on and said, “ Won’t be the first time, will it?”: “ I assure you that we have caught the right person, the culprit is a dark witch and now we only need to find the other dark witches who were w
Thomas pursed his lips as he thought about an answer to the question that he was asked, he was just a prison guard and thus, he did not have much idea about the situation in which the culprit was caught, which was why he had to take a pause before he parted his lips to answer Logan, “ The situation was that of panic and we could only catch the black witch. She seems to be really skilled in the art of black magic, Alpha Logan which is why she did not seem to need the things which you speak off.” Logan tilted his head as he tapped his knuckles on the surface of the table and said, “ I am really sorry to tell you this, Thomas. But a witch cannot do what you speak of without a sacrifice. A life for a life, that is their law and has been one for all eternity.”“ It is possible, Alpha Logan. A few years ago there was a case where the witch who was held accountable killed a shifter,” replied Thomas.“ Yes, she did but it was later found out that the shifter whom she killed was used as a sac
Caleb rolled his eye as he leaned back in his chair and then said, “ Who is worried about what? You can go ahead and do as much investigation as you wish. My pack and I might be that of hyenas but we still respect people like Jones who share a common enemy with us.” “ Is there anyone else who does not want the investigation to proceed?” Logan asked with an impatient glint in his eyes. What can anyone say? They have already been pushed into the centre by Logan just now if they did not agree wouldn’t it mean that they were hiding the heart of the thief?Seeing that no one was saying anything, Elder Griffiths nodded and then said in a low but stern voice, “ Excellent, I will expect everyone to cooperate with the investigation. I wish to see what you were doing and wh went in and out of your pack’s territory including your office and personal lodge. Do not try to find loopholes or else I will have to make things difficult for you,” he then rose from his chair and raised the hammer in hi
“ Shut up!” Zac glared at the prisoner who was speaking one thing after another without stopping. He raised his baton and then smacked it against the bars of the cell in which the prisoner who just spoke was, “ You better stay put for me, if you try anything against her, it will be your funeral, understand?”It was not that he was standing up for Levy or that he had any good feelings for her, instead, he was not someone who would use such despicable means to trample on a witch, this was his own resentment and he will deal with it on his own. “ Now keep your lips tightly shut if I hear one more word, then I will make sure that you will never be able to speak ever again!” Once he was done speaking, he turned to look at Levy and sneered before raising his baton and once again smacking it against the bars of the cell which caused Levy to wake up with a jolt as she looked at her with wariness in her eyes, “ I see that you are doing a good job while being locked up here. Don’t think for a
Zac was angry that this woman was able to get away from him last time which was why he glared at her while playing with the whip in his hands but now that he had the permission to deal with her as he liked, he could treat this woman as he liked. With the whip slashing across Levy’s feet, once she was tied up, he said in a gruff manner, “ You better open that mouth of yours to confess or else you will suffer greatly. The sooner you tell me the names of the dark witches and where they are hiding the sooner you will get your redemption not that you have any.” When Zac raised his whip to hit her across her legs again, Levy gritted her teeth and then shut her eyes tightly. Let it be, this was not the first time anyway, she can take this pain. The sound of the whip hitting skin echoed in the dungeons as time passed by at the rate of a snail crawling on the ground. Levy did not know how many hours passes by, she was still hanging by the chains which were tied around her wrist but her body
“ Seems like Zac really hates you he never goes for the heart,” said one of the prisoners as he looked at Levy who was still hanging by the chains trying to reel in the pain as she refused to cry or scream in pain. “ I will suggest you to stop giving him any more hard time, that guy will whip you all nice if you don’t.” Though the prisoner seemed to be making a casual suggestion Levy knew that he was one of those who were screaming at Zac to hit her harder. Levy did not say another word and stayed where she was not as if she could make a move, her eyes flickered as she thought about this and that —— this would not do, the prisoners were right even if she did not give Zac the satisfaction of breaking her, he will not give up so easily either which was why she had to get out of here but how …. The gates of the dungeons only opened when the guards brought food and water to the prisoners and that too only two times in a day. As for the door of the prison, they were not even opened unle
“ Are you questioning me?” Logan asked in a low voice as he looked at the man in front of him. Elder Griffiths chuckled as he shook his head and then remarked kindly, “ If I was doubting you then I would have not called you here Logan. I am only calling you here because I wish to talk to you about the aftermath of this murder and the small war which had always gone amiss. After all, no one paid attention to it.” “ So you are taking me as a tree hole?”The shifter with a beautiful face nodded as he replied, “ I am afraid that if I were to say these things to others they will not stop for a day before spreading it all over the place, you, on the other hand, do not have neither time nor energy to stay behind and gossip. What's more, you think of those old men as beneath you which is why I am not worried.”“ Amazing and here I thought that you wished me to investigate this murder or something,” responded Logan sarcastically. Elder Griffiths shook his head and then said, “ You do not ne
“ Karl Walker, huh? Fancy hearing that name here,” muttered Logan as he turned to look at the tall building behind him, he turned to look at Jacob whose expression was slightly solemn and said, “ What are the chances that man will open the door if I was to knock?” “Truthfully speaking none,” replied Jacob because this Karl whom the fishermen were talking about was none other than the ex-beta of the Misset pack. He was thrown out to become a rogue by his alpha once his plans to take Logan down came down to nought.Logan smiled as he walked towards the large red building and then said, “ Guess we need to break the door then?” As the two fishermen listened to the conversation of the shifters in front of them, they realised that Karl who was living among them like a human was a shifter as well just like the ones in front of them.Their expressions suddenly changed as they exchanged a glance with each other before they turned around and ran back to their houses, they knew well enough aft
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
