Levy paused when she heard his apology, she did not know what to do anymore. Though it was only right of him to apologise to her since he was the one who led her on only to pull back and embarrass her but now that the apology was in her hands, she truly had no idea how to deal with it. “ Derek——”“ No, listen to me.” She was going to stop him but as if sensing that she was trying to stop him, the man in front of her raised his hand and then stopped her from saying anything which might interrupt him. “ This is an apology that I owe you, I should not have embarrassed you like that… that too in front of Logan,” his expression turned awkward when he mentioned Logan’s name but then he cleared his throat and then continued speaking, “ What I mean … to say is that I did not wish to kiss you in front of everyone when we are not even clear on what we want. It would have caused you trouble and I don’t know how Logan would have handled the situation…and I … I couldn’t help but back out.” Levy
Mathilda the soothsayer was once a popular name among the witch and wizardly community, she might have been young back then but she had heard of the fame that her grandmother had when she was still sane and could predict the future with ease. But why did she have no recollection of her mother and grandmother staying in this town? As far as she knew, they have always stayed in the small village which was on the outskirts of the city, so how come there was an old room an old board with her grandmother’s name written on it, hanging here?She walked closer to the stairs which were at the corner of the alley and then took a closer look at the board, it was indeed her grandmother’s name there was no mistaking it. Levy frowned as she looked at the board and then tried to peek inside the old room which had a boarded-up window on the side but no matter how much she tried to peek inside she did not see much except an old cushioned chair and some other things which were placed on the table but t
“ No, she lived here alone,” the man named Mister Bennett replied which only caused Levy to frown even more, as she looked at the chest full of clothes. Though this gentleman said that there was no one else, she was sure about one thing there lived someone else with her mother and grandmother. Maybe it was a bit too hasty of her to come up with this sudden conclusion just on the basis of clothes which were in a different style than her mother’s but she knew that these clothes did not belong to her mother. She had no evidence to support her theory but inwardly she knew that she was right. Levy stepped away from the chest full of clothes and then she turned to look at the entire shop which was filled with all sorts of things but she did not find anything which would tell her that there was another person living in this house. She frowned and then turned to look at the old man before she asked, “ Do you stay in this town, mister Bennett?” The man shook his head and then replied, “ No
Levy’s eyes widened in surprise but before she could do anything she felt something twist around her legs as she fell face first on the ground, she looked down at her ankles which were now tied by a magical restraint and knew that she was in trouble. Behind her, the guards who saw her fall immediately pounced on her as they harshly pulled her up from the ground and then started to drag her towards the prison van. Levy tried to escape but she could not do anything, the guards were on alert the second they saw that she was half shifter they tackled her on the ground again and then tied her hands with a shifter restraint.The two guards were buff and tall, Levy could not even shake them off and as she was dragged into the prison van, the incidents from seven years ago started to flash in front of her eyes.All of a sudden she was back in the pack hall where she was standing in the middle of the big hall where everyone looked at her with contempt and ridicule.“ I did not do it,” she sai
Levy felt suffocated by that question, she pursed her lips and then said in a shaky voice, “ I did not kill anyone. This is a misunderstanding! Like I said I was at the wrong place at the wrong time——”“ That brand at the back of your hands might not prove your point,” said the woman as she pointed at the brand of the murderer which was imprinted at the back of Levy’s hand.Levy quickly hid the mark in her sleeves as she lowered her head and then said in a hurried voice, “ I did not …I have never killed anyone.” “Mhmm, you will have a hard time proving that,” said the woman with a nasty laugh, Levy saw her turn her head completely in her direction which showed her marred and burned face. “ But that was not what I meant when I asked whom you killed, I was asking who died and the blame was pinned on you.”Levy tried to calm herself down even though her heart was beating at a seemingly inhuman rate only then was she able to remember that the man was wearing a pale blue uniform which wa
Maybe because they were making a lot of ruckus, they attracted the attention of the guards who were standing outside the dungeons. When they heard the blood-curdling scream coming from the inside, they immediately rushed into the cell, they were worried that the guard who went inside would kill the prisoners before they could deal with them. But what they did not expect was that the second they rushed inside the dungeons they would see their colleague lying on the floor with his eyes popping out of their sockets and blood trickling down his mouth. One of the guards who was thin and lanky opened the gate of the prison and then hurried over to the guard who was lying on the floor and turned him over before placing his ear on the man’s chest as he tried to listen to the heartbeat of the man under him. When he did not hear any sound, he turned to look at his senior and then said in a grim voice, “ His heart is not beating anymore.” “ You b*tch! What did you do?” The guard who rushed
“ You should close your eyes,” the woman who was eating the stale bread which was offered to them as a meal spoke to Levy, she raised her head and looked at the young woman who had not eaten or slept for days and then said in a low voice, “ Maybe eat your share of bread too, no one knows how long you will be here for, should you not try your best to keep your energy?”Levy turned to look at the middle-aged woman who seemed to speaking from her experience and asked, “ How long have you been here?” “ Ten..twelve? I do not know how many months passed by,” said the woman as she chewed the hard bread. “ I only know that I was brought here the second I killed the official who murdered my son.” She paused as she swallowed the bread which she had taken a bite from and then continued speaking, “ I was like you… I thought that I did nothing wrong after all, my son was also a victim and I only avenged him. But later on, I realised that no one cared about people like us who had no power, they al
The woman clicked her tongue as she looked at Levy and then spoke in an annoyed voice, “ Of course I was but if you are looking for me to tell you the secrets of the pack then it's no use, I was just a small housewife and nothing else after I mated, I do not know anything that went inside the pack.” She huffed in a manner which indicated that she did not care about the pack where she grew up and then said in a hollow sort of voice, “ That pack is doomed to end even if you do not do anything.” “ This is not why I asked you about such a thing,” Levy interrupted the woman, she knew that as a shifter, the woman still had a sense of loyalty towards her pack even though she was abandoned by them, she would not betray them so easily which was why she opened her mouth and politely said, “ There is something else that I want to ask you.” “ What? What can this old woman help you with?”Levy’s hands clenched in her lap as she swallowed harshly before scrambling towards the bars of the cell a
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
