“ Did you have fun?” Jacob asked her after the two of them walked out of the restaurant. Levy took a glance at his lips that were shining with the paprika sauce and rolled her eyes as she scoffed, “ Yeah it was total fun watching you cry.” “ I didn’t cry—— what’s that?” he suddenly frowned causing Levy to twist her neck and look in the direction where he was looking—— a few feet away from them, they could see a family of three being dragged in the dark alley next to a boutique and from the looks of it they could see that neither of them wanted to follow the man who was walking behind them. Jacob’s brows twisted even more as he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “ I smell cougar, that man whoever he is.. he is a shifter.” She too has caught the scent of the cougar shifter but she didn’t make a move instead when she saw that Jacob was making a move, she immediately stretched her hand and stopped him from running after the shifter cougar. “ Where are you going?” Levy could
Levy twisted herself slightly, her gaze skimmed over the screen as she turned around and looked at the phone that was ringing, she pursed her lips and waited for the ringtone to come to a halt before turning to look around and glancing at the alley. Strictly speaking, with Jacob’s strength, he should have dealt with a cougar by now, what was making him delay for this long? The sound of Jacob’s favourite song disrupted the silence of the night and Levy sighed as she turned around and unlocked the car with the key that he has left with her, originally she didn’t want to pick up the call but knowing how stubborn Logan could be she had no other choice but to answer the call. “ Where the hell are you?” she did not even get the chance to say a single ‘hello’ when she heard Logan’s snappish voice as he shouted through the other side of the speaker. “ I have been calling you for ages but you haven’t even answered me once.” “It’s because your beta is doing some heroic stuff,” said Levy as s
The spell that Levy used sent the cougar flying and a loud bang echoed in the silent alley as the cougar smashed into the pile of trash cans that were sitting at the end of the wall after he slid down the wall. Taking advantage of the situation, Levy drew another array in the air with the blood that was yet to dry up and chanted, “ Immobilius!” The blood-red array glimmered into several sparkling ropes before they headed towards the cougar shifter, Levy watched as the limbs of the cougar shifter snapped together and he turned completely stiff, no longer growling or flailing. Once she was sure that the cougar shifter would no longer cause any trouble she walked towards Jacob’s wolf and said, “ Come on shift back, I have to take a look at your injuries.” She saw the wolf moving his snout as if asking her to turn back and she sighed, “ Do we really have to do this? I am pretty much okay with you shifting back in front of me.” The wolf paused for a while until she heard him let out an
Jacob agreed, feeling worse with every second. He didn’t know what was happening to him but he could sense that his bones that should have been mended till now were still the same as before, in fact, it seemed as if his bones have been set on fire or something. Because of the pain, he was no longer breathing through his nose but instead he parted his lips trying to move his body as less as he could, cursing once in a while when he heard Levy knock into something or another. “ Can’t you drive a bit more carefully?” Levy turned to look at him with glaring eyes as she was trying her best to drive straight on the road. She twisted her neck slightly and snarled at Jacob, “ You do it if you are so clever.” She hasn’t driven a car for like ages, and the SUV that Jacob bought was even harder to control than the cars she was used to, here she was trying her best and he was making fun of her. Because she turned her attention away from the road, Levy sent another trash can flying in the air
Levy watched as her father stiffened and took a step back, sheathing his claws as he looked at Logan warily, though he was a lot bulkier than Logan, her father was not half of an alpha male as Logan was, with just one glance that Logan shot his way, her father sucked in a breath and lowered his head. Coward, she cursed her father inside her head before turning to look at Logan whose gaze was locked on her, she did not want to explain herself especially not to Logan but she could sense that Jacob’s consciousness was slowly fading, with three of his bones broken he must be having a hard time staying conscious. He looked at her with those exceptionally blue pools of nothing but sexual tension, she waited for him to blow up like a small bomb but as seconds ticked by he said nothing for a while she almost lost herself when the awareness that has been getting harder and harder to ignore started to throb between them. It was nothing different, this was something that she was used to but w
“ Are you really as stupid as you look or is it that your IQ has been dropping after the snapping of the mating bond, knowing how little you cared about our mom, I think the breaking of the mating bond should hardly have any impact on you.” Levy couldn’t help herself, she was just too tired of being blamed for things that she didn’t do and for things that were not in her control. Mavis disappeared? Not her fault. She manifested the powers of a witch also not her fault but she was blamed for everything that went wrong in the pack including the malfunctioning of the sprinklers, she might not care about whether they liked her or not but that didn’t mean that she wasn’t going to care if they continued to blame her wrongly. “ You, how dare you talk to me like that?” Mister Harlow frowned, she could see the annoyance flashing in his eyes like he couldn’t believe that she was doing something as disrespectful as going against him, if she was being honest she has always been scared of her
“That’s not what I am doing here!” Her father snapped so hard that he sent spit flying all over the place. “ I am just trying to keep my son safe from treacherous monsters like you!” “ She is not a monster but my sister,” said Jacob, he didn’t raise his voice like their father but she could hear the firm authority in his voice as he sighed and looked at their father. “ I am done listening to one-sided claims where everyone points at Levy and call her a monster, murderer and whatnot… I need to see a decent piece of evidence before believing what everyone has been telling me.” “ She was with Mavis when that accident happened what more evidence do you want?” “ Like I said,” Jacob took a deep breath as he looked their father in the eyes and repeated his words. “ If you want me to believe that she is the murderer either bring me the body of the person who went missing or either bring me valid proof that I will not be able to deny even if I want to, I have listened to you and everyone e
Levy believed that she knew Logan but as she strode inside the lodge with his figure that was barely an inch away from her, she realised that she was really wrong. She did not know him as well, as she thought that she did because if she had known him then she would have also known that he was a rather overprotective man who didn’t listen to a thing that others have to say. Well, she did know that he was overprotective given he wouldn’t let Mavis go anywhere without a guard but that was a protectiveness that was understandable. On the other hand, as he chased after her with his build that was hardly holding in the rage that he was feeling—- that was completely different. He has been walking a step behind her and despite her moving around completely fine, he was treating her like she was going to break any second and that only pissed her off even more. She was an alpha female even if she wasn’t as strong as the other alpha females she was much more dominant than others she-wolves. Be
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
