Eduard did not expect something like this to happen he looked at the small footsteps and then turned to look around the garden, as he looked around he did not forget to speak in a mock courageous voice, “ Who is it? Who is the one playing around come outside now. Is it you, Cindy?”He did not receive a response instead the small footsteps started to increase more as if the person in front of him was in a hurry to get away from him. When Eduard saw this he was so scared that he fell on his bottom while looking around in the garden with a panic-stricken look on his face —— this …was the territory haunted? There was a ghost moving around in living daylight! Eduard could not believe what he was seeing, he raised his hand and then wiped his eyes but when he dropped his hands, the small footmarks were still there which led to him raising his arm and rubbing it furiously over his eyes and when he dropped his arm, he was certain that he was not hallucinating. His eyes moved at the footmarks
When Levy saw the woman with her eyes tied with a white strip of cloth, she was really surprised. It was impossible for her to see what kind of emotions the woman was hiding in her eyes, and her face was too blank for her to understand what kind of emotions were brewing inside the woman’s heart. “ Who are you? And why do you call me the daughter of Ginevra?” She asked the young woman who was sitting on the couch with her legs crossed. “ Is it not Ginevra? Was it Minerva this time? Maybe she might have gone to choose a more trendy name, is that it?” The woman asked in response to Levy’s question which only further confused the latter. “ I am here in response to the incident of last night my child when your mother was young —— she left you in my care … I have been the guardian of the witches of the light for a long time and went to sleep but last night your soul escaped your body and woke me up, it was with great sacrifice that I placed your soul back in your body. Thus, it weakened
“ I am Amaira, the seer of the future and the seventh guardian pillar of the white witches born and raised by the first witch who descended on this very land,” replied the woman with her hand placed on her bosom as she introduced herself in a voice which was both mystical and entrancing. “ I am one of the oldest witches who walks on this very land, my sister has unfortunately fallen in the hands of the black-hearted ones leaving me alone to protect this land while the ones who managed to get away with their lives moved to another land which was protected against those whose heart is black.” She curled her lips into a smile before she lowered her head and then continued speaking, “ When you were born, the dark and the light witches and wizards were in a war, I was called for I can see the future. During the war, I over-exerted myself causing great damage to my powers and eyes, which led to my body getting sealed away by my comrades. I promised your mother that I will protect you natur
“Mom?” Levy asked not understanding what her mother had to do with this scenario. It was the dark witches who were coming after her, so how come the link of this case was getting connected to her mother? “ Yes, your mother,” came the answer from Amaira. “ Levy, you might not know this but your mother sacrificed a lot including the chance of falling in love with the person she adored. I hope you will never mention this in front of your father though, he has enough reasons to despise your mother without having another added to it.” Levy’s eyebrows furrowed together when she heard the words of the guardian, she took a look at the array in which Amaira was standing inside and took in a deep breath before taking a step inside as well, she needed to know the answers to her questions which no one was going to answer.Though she was trying to decipher the messages left by her mother, she was far away from the answer that she needed. As soon as she stepped inside the array, bluish-white smo
Levy frowned when she heard that her father had the blood of a mage as well, “ That is impossible, there is no way that man might have the blood of a witch or wizard .” Amaira tilted her head as she looked at Levy with slight bewilderment on her face as she asked in a misty sort of voice, “ What makes you think so?” “ He had always taken pride in being a full-blooded shifter if he had an ounce of magic in his blood, I am afraid that he would have killed himself first,” Levy was this sure because she knew how much her father despised witches and wizards, till this day he announced to the world that he was hoodwinked by her mother by a love potion and only under the influence of that potion did he give birth to two children with her if not he would have married his mate. “ Hmm, I am afraid that is not the case,” the woman replied with a humming sound. Levy then gulped and asked the guardian, “ Are you really certain that my blood is superior to yours maybe you are making a mistake?”
Levy wiped the blood off her feet and then turned to look at the reflection in the mirror, what was she supposed to do now? Sure, her blood was superior to the rest but why was it that the dark mages were coming after her? How was she supposed to find out the crux of this matter? And more importantly, if what happened seven years ago was actually a well-laid trap then who was the one who laid it down? While Levy was busy thinking about the incidents from the past, Greta on the other hand was fuming as she returned to her lodge, she had gone to Logan’s lodge to have a little chat with that witch to make sure that she does not forget her position but who would have known that Logan was a step ahead of her, he actually changed the pass lock of the lodge! Because she did not know about the new pass lock and no longer had the key to Logan’s lodge, all she could do was knock but that hussy was smarter than she thought she was, even when she continued to knock for five minutes the hussy in
However, when Eduard raised his head, he was surprised to see Logan chucking as he covered the front of his mouth with his fist and then looked at him with amusement brimming in his eyes. “ Did you watch a horror movie? Is this why you are dreaming in daylight? How can a ghost attack you when it’s morning?” Logan asked the young submissive wolf, surely he was one of a kind. This was why he never bothered the submissive wolves, they either cried or were scared silly whenever he raised his temper at them, if not for teaching Moira and Greta a lesson he would have never bothered this man. Look at this just a bit of teasing and he was scared until he was dreaming of being attacked by a ghost. Maybe he did traumatise this poor soul a bit too much. When he thought about it, Logan placed his hand on Eduard’s shoulder and patted him slightly before asking in a slow voice, “ Did you dream? If so then tell me what happened carefully. If there is really a ghost then I will deal with it.” Edu
“ But make sure to cook dinner tonight, I just came from the outside and I heard that Greta is very dissatisfied with the lunch which was prepared,” said Logan causing the submissive wolf to go extremely pale. That’s right because he fell into a dreamless sleep in the middle of the forest no one could find him causing Cindy to be the one in charge of cooking, though Cindy’s skills were good, it was nowhere as close to Eduard causing Greta to be further infuriated. She asked for a special roast lamb but instead, the cook ran away leaving her to eat spaghetti with meatball sauce, which was something that she did not like at all! Logan did not care that the submissive wolf had been scared silly by him, he walked past the young man and his eyes fell on the soft crease near the gnarled roots which were left untouched and unruffled by the winds. The mark of the foot was still there which was slowly turning faint but because it was hidden behind the root no one saw it, Logan’s eyes flashed
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
