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
“I am glad that our little Lily is wise like that,” stated Madam Mahoney as she looked at Lily who smiled at her docilely. “ You are right when you say that nothing good is sold on the street. But you should eat a little, if you don’t then what will you do if you get hungry?” “ But I wanted to eat what you cook, Madam Mahoney,” said Lily as she sat next to Levy. “ I really love the meatballs and spaghetti that you cook and of course, your onion soup is my favourite.” Her words brought a tinkling laugh out of Madam Mahoney as she nodded and said, “ I see, I see. You really know how to win the heart of someone, don’t you little Lily? Just wait a few minutes, I will get you a bowl of onion soup fixed.” With that, Madam Mahoney got up from the chair on which she was sitting and then picked up the tray on which sat the tea cups and the dirty dishes.When Levy reached out her hands to take it from her, Madam Mahoney shook her head and then said, “It's alright dearie. Just stay with Lily a
The next morning Mister Jack woke up, his complexion had gone pale because of the poison flaring up and became flushed and ruddy. Even the dark circles under his eyes were gone. He could even recognize Elvis and Madam Mahoney upon waking up which surprised the two of them. Apart from Levy and Lily who knew what happened with Mister Jack, the rest of the neighbours including Elvis were stunned upon seeing Mister Jack get better all of a sudden. They all came to look at Mister Jack who could not only get on his feet but also started to look better than before. And when they saw that he had indeed gotten better they were speechless. “ I really cannot believe that he is doing fine all of a sudden, I thought the healer said that the poison had no antidote?” “ Isn’t that right? When I heard him cough last night, it sounded terrible. It was as if he was choking on something, I thought that it was going to be the end of him, who would have thought that he would make it out alive?” “ I a
As if the information that Logan was in the same city as she was not enough to give Levy a headache after proposing to her Elvis stopped talking to her. It was as if he hoped that Levy would give him an answer if he was to stay quiet in front of her. “ Since when did the attacks of the dark witch start?” Levy questioned Elvis as she did not want to walk with him in a totally awkward silence. She did not have any answer and even if she had one, he did not want to hear it. “ Two months ago. They usually bomb buildings but in the past two months, their attacks have become more and more frequent. Though the magic council is trying to control them, it’s proving difficult as the dark witches only attack at night. They know that the light witches cannot control them in the night,” Elvis sighed with noticeable worry. He rubbed his hand on the back of his neck before saying, “ I wish there were some guardian witches or wizards in the council. As long as they were working with the council the
“ I did you wrong before but I promise that I will not wrong you again. I will be there for you no matter what,” Logan promised as he looked at Levy. His fingers caressed her cheek before sliding down her neck where he possessively curled his fingers. Not wanting to give in to him so easily as he had slept with another woman when she first returned, Levy questioned him deliberately, “ What if I already have someone in my heart by now? It has been more than a month there is no way I will be waiting for you right?” It did not take long for Logan’s eyes to darken as he looked at her with annoyance. The grip on her neck tightened. He moved his face closer to Levy such that his lips brushed against her. She heard him whisper, “ I hope you will know not to step on my bottom line, little cat. Even you are not allowed to say things that are untrue about yourself as I will not be willing to joke about it. Your heart knows what you feel about me and so does your wolf. And in case there is ind
“ You.. how could you eat without even asking me what it can do to you?” Levy was stunned when she saw that Logan had taken the antidote without even asking her anything. Though she was not going to harm her, he should have at least hesitated a little! What if she wanted to harm him? He couldn’t just eat anything a witch gave to him.This was something that was taught to every shifter and witch irrespectively. “ I don’t think you are going to harm me Levy and if you do harm me then I can only say that I might have done something to deserve it,” as he spoke Logan felt a surge of anger rush into his head as his desire to kill intensified. He knew that the reason he was feeling like this was because the curse inside of him was trying to win over him. It was fighting hard against the antidote and Logan did not expect anything less from the poison that had tormented him for ages. He knew that it was going to be difficult to deal with the poison which was why he slowly stood up from the b
As she finished speaking Madam Mahoney turned to look at Levy who had just stepped out of the kitchen and then smiling said to her, “ Levy, your mate is here, why did you not tell me that you ran away from your mate as well? Getting into a fight is normal there is no need for you to leave him like this.” ‘ Because that man is not only my mate but also my alpha,’ Levy thought in her head, however, she did not want to throw Logan out of the inn which was why she did not mention anything to Madam Mahoney and stated, “ I did not think that he would come looking for me, Madam Mahoney. I think that I misunderstood him.”“ Ah young love is all about misunderstandings,” Madam Mahoney smiled at Levy with a sigh while turning to look at Logan who was sitting next to her with an expression of having been bullied. Seeing him like this, Madam Mahoney smiled and then said, “It's really a bit too impulsive of you, you should have trusted your mate. He told me what happened and while I agree with hi
“ Interesting,” Logan hummed as he picked up the goblet of rum that Madam Mahoney had served him. “ Because I didn’t know that my mate was so easy to talk to, she usually does not allow anyone to get close to her other than me. I mean only I know her real self, so it makes me wonder if you really are close unless she takes you as her brother.” Madam Mahoney knew that Logan was trying to clearly warn off Elvis. She smiled and then said, “ I did not know that Levy has a brother and he looks so much like Jacob. No wonder she saved him without even thinking when they met for the first time, it was because he looked so much like her brother.” Though Madam Mahoney knew that it would upset Elvis, she was giving him a way out as she did not want him to be embarrassed. After all, she was aware of the mating bond and shifters’ mates. They were not only possessive they were crazy possessive towards their mate. And from the words that were coming out of Logan’s mouth, one could see that he was
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
