“ Are you all right?” Jesse raised his head to look at Logan when the latter came striding inside the office with a loud bang. What was even more, his face was twisted to the point that he might have as well auditioned for playing the role of a demon." I am fine," there was no way Logan could have told anyone about the humiliation that he just faced. What was he supposed to say anyway? That he completely embarrassed himself in front of Levy? That would be adding salt to his wound!“ Then why are you looking like you want to eat someone alive?” asked Jacob as he placed the documents that he was reading on the table and looked at Logan with a frown, “You look like you want to commit cold-blooded murder. “'It's your sister’ was what Logan wanted to say but he somehow managed to hold himself back as he simply looked at the documents on the table and said, “ Is O’Neil here?” “ He came a few minutes ago,” answered Jesse with a frown. “ I told him that it was rude of him to come to our te
“ What did you say?” Logan was sure that he heard something wrong, there was no way that this man just said what he just said right, surely he misheard him, right? However, even though he pretended as if didn’t hear a thing that Derek said, Logan still intensified his alpha vibes, maybe it was because of anger at the audacity of this man looking down at him or maybe it was simply him being annoyed by the presence of this mage in front of him. “ Won’t you sit down? It’s going to be a long conversation,” said Derek as he placed the cup in his hands back on the saucer and then snapped his fingers as another cup appeared in front of him. He picked up the teapot and poured a generous amount of tea into the cup before sliding it to the other side. “ Offering tea is basic courtesy and so is drinking it but I can see that you do not trust me in the least that’s why I won’t ask you to drink it but the least you can do is sit down and have a proper conversation like a decent gentleman.” “ You
Derek's smile widened as he leaned forward on the table and hummed softly. “ What else? I heard that she is a rather strong witch, if so doesn’t it make sense for her to be with a mage? I see no reason as to why she should even bother mating with a wolf and degrading the magical blood flowing through her veins. Don’t you think so too?” Jacob would have lunged at Derek if not for Logan holding him back, his beta glared at the man in front of him and let out a bone-chilling growl. “ Do you mean to say that you are going to use my sister as some sort of breeding cow? Is that what you are saying?” “ Isn’t it still better than her staying with the man who ruined her life by throwing her in the prison for more than seven years?” Derek unclasped his hands and placed the back of his palms on the picnic table as he raised his brow at Jacob. “ I might sound a bit disrespectful but I can assure you that I will treat your sister nicely at least,” he turned to look at Logan. “ I will take care o
“What about it?” Logan did not know why Derek brought the wizard association out of nowhere but he knew that the man wouldn’t have come here without a backup plan and sure enough a second later he heard him say, “ I heard a very fascinating thing a few days ago,” getting up from his seat, Derek straightened his jacket as he looked at Logan with an expression that could neither be counted as smug nor could it counted as amused. “ From what I heard you sent Levy straight to the frost gate prison without any concrete evidence, is that right?” His gaze wasn’t inquisition, it was certain and confident as he stared up at Logan before smilingly patting Logan on his shoulders. “ What if this small information ends up reaching the association? You might not know this but because of the increasing number of witch hunts and mage murders, the association is clearly very sensitive about any sort of injustice happening to a witch or wizard, in fact, they are even going around the city making round
“ Enough!” Logan turned to look at Jacob and Moira, his head was already throbbing enough and yet these two were fighting like cats and dogs. Wheeling around he swept his cold gaze at the two before whispering in a deadly voice, “ Is the trouble not enough that you two have to join in the fray as well?” Both of them lowered their heads but Logan could sense that Jacob wasn’t willing to let go of the matter, his dissatisfaction with him coursed inside him through the pack bond causing Logan to look at Jacob with a slight frown, hands behind his back he peered at his beta before parting his lips and speaking softly, “ If you had so many things to say then why didn’t you say anything before? After seven years why now?” Jacob raised his head though he didn’t unleash his dominant vibes the defiance in his eyes was pretty visible. “ How was I supposed to say anything? Would you have listened if I said anything to you back then? You didn’t even give Levy a chance to defend herself. You wou
“What are you doing here?” Jacob too noticed Levy standing outside the main building, he walked closer to her after climbing down the stairs completely ignoring Moira’s haughty scoff. He didn’t want to start anything with her again and especially not in front of Levy, he came to a stop in front of his sister feeling a pang of guilt when she raised her head and that webbed eye pierced right into his eyes. Levy too noticed the guilt that flashed in Jacob’s eyes, though she would have blasted him off for looking at her with that sympathetic gaze in the current situation Jacob’s guilt worked just fine for her in fact it would be nice if he could throw in a bit of pity as well. “ Why can’t I come to see you?” she asked while twisting a lock of her flaming red curls. “ I thought that you said that I can come and see you whenever I want to, didn’t know that I had to book an appointment to see my brother. If you are busy then I can leave——” she even turned around as if she was going to walk
Levy heard footsteps coming after her, at first she thought that the one following her was Jacob but when a familiar scent wafted over to her nostrils filling up every fibre in her body, she stiffened and increased her pace. She was afraid that if she was to stop right now, she will really pounce on Logan, not because she was feeling something tingly in her abdomen but to scratch the f*ck out of his face. This dumbass!“ Did you really do something? Is that why you are running away from me?” His voice called from behind causing Levy to pause suddenly, she was furious enough to beat the heck out of him and here he was fuelling her anger to the point where she felt like she was being goaded by the devil himself. “ What do you mean by that? What did I do?” She whirled around to face him, her face full of annoyance. She didn’t have time for him nor did she have the time to worry about him being a pain in the ass either. “ Jacob.” He spat her brother’s name as if he was announcing her gr
“ What do you mean that it works too? How in the world does this work?” Leo returned with the tray and placed it on the kitchen aisle with a bang, his sharp eyes cut to Levy and he snapped in annoyance. “ We hired her to work here, not show a bunch of magic tricks! If she does the work like this then what are we paying her for?” Kyle raised his head and looked at Leo with exasperation, Levy too could understand why he was annoyed by Leo’s action. It was true that Levy was hired for working in the kitchen but neither of them said that she couldn’t use magic to finish her job and it wasn’t like she wasn’t doing a good job. The dishes were being cleaned faster than they would have been by hand, so there was no need to make things complicated.“ Leo, can you keep a reign on that straight lace attitude of yours?” questioned Kyle as he handed the newly plated dish to the other server and wiped his hands on the clean apron. “ What matters is that the work is getting done, there is no need f
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
