Jacob smiled with a sympathetic look in his eyes as he slowly said, “ It has been seven years Levy, times have changed. The things that were here seven years ago are no longer here.” That’s right, it has been seven years ever since she last visited that library most probably it was boarded by now and might have a bunch of termites singing hallelujah within its wall. “ Oh, I see.” There was nothing else she could say or think —— she knew in her heart that times have changed but every time she found out something like this, she couldn’t help but feel that someone has smacked her straight in the face. The time lost suddenly felt so real and gone.Jacob might have understood that he said something he shouldn’t have because he too cleared his head uncomfortably and then looked at Levy with a hesitant look in his eyes. “ So, why not let me drive you?” Honestly, taking his offer was the right thing to do but—— she raised her head sharply and glared at him. “ This does not change anything
Moira stared at Levy in shock, horror and anger but no matter how much she struggled against the restraints there was nothing she could do except glare at Levy who smiled at her and then stood up from the ground yes, she was going to bully whoever bullied her if they had the strength or the power to fight her them they were more than welcome to toy her magic skills. Did they think she was scared of them? No, she was not. The only reason, she was unwilling to raise her hand and use her magic spells on the pack mates was that she didn’t want any trouble knocking on her door. But that didn’t mean that she was willing to become a door mat for just anyone either. Levy snapped her fingers and then Moira was back on the ground on her four as she coughed and sputtered, her eyes flashed wolf but she didn’t lunge at Levy, she stayed where she was having sensed the difference in their skills. Levy’s skills as a shifter were not exceptional and that was one of the reasons why her father despise
“ I will return around noon, you cannot skip eating lunch.” Jacob stared at her with an old father’s worried look on his face while nagging her nonstop. She was sure that he was going to almost nag her about how skinny she was but he was smarter than that, he knew that if he said something like that Levy will certainly say something heartless to him, so he only told her again and again that he would return around noon for her and then the two will have lunch together. If she wanted she could borrow some books from the library to read at home. Levy very much wanted to tell him to stop nagging but upon thinking about the pitiful balance she had in her pocket, she could only agree with Jacob. Last night she only got a two-dollar or three-dollar tip and it was after working for an entire night that she collected ten dollars. She knew that she couldn’t buy anything filling with that meagre sum, so she chose to have breakfast at the lodge. Jacob asked her to wait for him at the library pa
Levy climbed up the stairs and reached the third floor which had multiple aisles scattered all over in an orderly manner. As per the receptionist's instructions she headed straight to the fourth aisle where no one was, in fact, while she heads heading to the fourth aisle she heard a lot of whispering and someone hissed the word ‘witch’ under their breath with a contemptuous tone. She turned her head to look at the group assimilated at the second aisle and met their gazes, those females stared at her defiantly until Levy asserted her alpha vibes on them. It was then did they ran away with their tails carefully tucked between their legs. Watching them running away from her, Levy snorted before letting out a chuckle as she walked inside the number fourth aisle. Fortunately, the library wasn’t just big enough in architecture, it had numerous books on dark magic as well. Books that she might need to create a counter curse for Lily. If only her mother’s books were left intact then she wo
Levy’s brows scrunched up instinctively as she looked at Derek with a narrowed gaze before sharply asking, “ What do you mean by that?” He didn’t reply instead he calmly leaned back on his chair crossed his limbs and then placed his hands on the lap before releasing oppressive alpha vibes from his body then Levy smelled a scent that has been masked before——wild ferns, the trickle of the streams and the scent of Siberian tiger spread through her system and her eyes widened as she looked at the man in front of her. She did know that he was a mage but he hid his shifter side so well that she couldn’t even sense his beast. This was something that she has never seen before! “You can suppress your beast?” She asked surprised, she could sense that the tiger was really dominant and didn’t look like a beast that would be willing to be restrained within the shell of his human counterpart. But somehow Derek has suppressed him, she could hardly feel the presence of the tiger as dominant as it
Levy felt like she was falling apart, a part of her wanted to refute what Derek said, she knew that she shouldn’t believe him so easily but as she looked at his confident expression and the calmness with which he said those words, he looked like he was just stating simple facts.Of course, he could be telling a lie to her but she didn’t have the evidence to say that he was lying just as she didn’t have any proof that he was telling a lie. What if he was saying the truth? When her mother died, she was too young and didn’t know how to differentiate between two different mana energy but —— “ The alpha said that she died while experimenting.” “ Of course, he said that.” contrary to her expectations, Derek was calm as he let out a sigh and then rolled his neck before leaning on the table and looking at her calmly. “ If he accepted that someone killed a witch in his pack then the wizard association would have made a huge noise, he didn’t want that so he washed his hands of the matter and
“ I am just curious.” She knew that what she just said was nothing less than scandalous, it was no less than questioning her father and the old alpha altogether but Levy wanted to get to the bottom of the truth, she wanted to know who else was involved in it and was her brother, the one who has been always chasing after their father was also involved in hiding it from her. Because as much as she would have liked to believe that he wasn’t involved in the scene, now she really couldn’t trust anyone. “ Everything happened so suddenly that no one knew what exactly was going on back then, don’t you think that something was off about the entire situation?” “ Levy, I don’t know why you are asking about this matter out of nowhere but what you are thinking, it didn’t happen …nothing like that happened.” Jacob caught her gaze, his eyes were drilling into hers with too much interest as if he was trying to understand what exactly brought this on. “ I was there and mum was unharmed there was no s
“ A psycho killer?” Kyle mused with a scrunch of his brows as he looked at Robbie who nodded fervently and then lowered his voice conspiratorially as he further explained the situation to them, “ I heard it from my neighbour, these days a killer has been targeting the shifters, it doesn’t matter if they are young or old, they all have been attacked indiscriminately and what’s more the shifters think that this is the job of a witch!” “ Why? Just because the murders are cold-blooded, they are pinning the black pot on witches?” Levy couldn’t help but speak up, just because the witches had a notorious reputation they were classified as psycho killers. What kind of world was she living in? “ No, it is because…” Robbie dramatically paused causing everyone to look at him with questioning gazes. Only when he saw that he has achieved the dramatic effect that he wanted, he continued, “ The corpses that were found are missing their hearts, that psycho killer has ripped the hearts out of the bo
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
