Levy didn’t respond at once instead she lit the tip of her forefinger with a small fire and then raised it, seeing the danger approaching the paper man took three steps back while Derek shouted through it, “ Wait, Wait! My dear, there is no need for you to be this impatient, I was just trying to joke with you. I swear.” The paper man hugged her fingers and shivered causing Levy’s lips to twitch as she placed her hand back to her side as she said, “ Then you should have answered my question straight up instead of making such cheesy jokes.” “ Gosh, you are so short-tempered,” the paper man shook his head with a lively expression before raising his head as he said, “ I was just trying to cheer you up, your complexion looks rather bad as if you had a nightmare last night.” She did have a nightmare last night, in fact, if she was being honest she, herself didn’t know whether what she saw was a dream or something else because no matter how she tried to explain it to herself she couldn’t c
Levy rubbed her nose, she wanted to chide Logan for suddenly bumping into her but then her gaze dropped to his half-naked body and all the words that she had in her throat went back down at one. It took all her patience to stop herself from jumping on him as her wolf pressed against her surface most probably wanting to get close to him. Damn that mating instinct. “ You haven’t showered yet?” Despite being glared at so obviously Logan turned a blind eye to it, he stared at the clothes that Levy was carrying in her arms and then shook his head. “ The sun is already up and you are still lazying around like this?” “Exactly, the sun is up..so why are you dressed like this? Don’t you know that it's improper to roam around half naked in front of a female?” Levy didn’t want anything to distract her, so she hurriedly turned her gaze away from Logan and his muscular chest, seriously what was this guy doing? Did he think that she wasn’t having a hard time already, why was he making everything
“ All magic spells are dark magic aren’t they?” Logan asked setting his fork down having finished his sixth omelette. “ Hah, that’s so typical of you,” Levy rolled her eyes as she scoffed. “ No, for your information all magic spells aren’t dark magic. Just like how there are good and bad shifters in your community, there are good and bad mages in mine.”She took a look at Logan’s expression and understood that he didn’t understand what she said, with an eye roll she simplified what she just said, “ Think like this if I was to turn you into a pup here and now, you wouldn’t get hurt in any way——”“ I beg to differ,” Logan raised his hand and interrupted her. “ I will suffer through some major mental trauma.” Why don’t I punch you in the face and then give you real trauma? However, no matter how angry Levy was she couldn’t touch Logan, for the time being, so she took a deep breath and only then did she continue, “ When I say that you wouldn’t get hurt, I meant that you will not get hu
“ Have you guys heard?” Robbie exclaimed the second he pushed the door of the restaurant and dropped his bag on the kitchen counter as he looked around the now empty restaurant. They were yet to open for the night shift, as per Kyle even though they all work tirelessly to make sure that no branded criminal was left hungry in the middle of the night, they still needed to take a break no matter how small. Levy was mopping the floor when she heard Robbie’s exclamation, she put a temporary hold on her work and then looked at Robbie. His eyes were lit up with a very strong flare to gossip and he was looking at them with a such burning gaze that even the ever-stoic Leo raised his head from the book he was reading and looked at him. “ What’s the matter?” Kyle finally asked pushing the eye mask off his eyes, one eye closed as he peered at Robbie from behind the mask. “ For what reason are you being this excited? What happened?” It was as if he was waiting for this exact question as Robbie
Silence awkward silence stretched between them but Levy didn’t take a step down, even though she was the only witch in the entire restaurant she wouldn’t just drop the matter and let Tao trash talk about mages as if his kind were nothing but a saint.“ She is right.” Sensing that there might be another squabble, Kyle hurriedly interrupted the two of them as he stood up from his seat. “ Everyone had a hand in what happened the last time, so let's not fight all right?” Though Kyle tried to smoothen things up, Levy could sense that the others weren’t as unaffected by what she said as they made themselves look, there was an awkwardness that would not leave and even though Levy could hear them laugh and joke between themselves, she felt that she has been maybe somewhat ostracised. But she wasn’t wrong as she weaved her through the crowd of people with their orders in her hand, she couldn’t help but think in her head. What she said was the truth, the shifters were at fault just as much as
“ I haven’t seen him making a move against the territory yet,” Jesse answered after he was nudged into alertness by Jacob. Come to think of it Jesse has been paying less and less attention to the office work ever since he broke up with the female he was seeing, this was why Logan always told these two idiots not to let any female rule over their head. But of course, they didn’t hear a thing that he has to say. “ Of course, he hasn’t,” came a snickering reply as Rachel swaggered inside the office, her face looked awfully pale but her tone was vindictive enough to tell Logan that she was feeling all right. Ever since he refused to do it with her, she has been on his case..asking if it was because Levy was back, she has been clinging onto him to the point that he almost told Jesse to take control of his sister. But today, she looked even more evil than usual was it because she got hang of something? That knowing glint in her eyes did say that she had gotten the hang of something that
“ You have to be kidding me?” Rachel looked at Logan with eyes that were wide with disbelief. “ What have I done wrong? That man has been getting close to Levy, he is a mage .. a mage who has his eyes locked on our territory but instead of blaming Levy, you are punishing me? What have I done wrong?” “ Are you questioning me?” Logan raised a brow staring at Rachel whose eyes were flashing defiantly at him. He knew that Rachel wasn’t someone who liked submitting, under him she was more than willing but when she was in presence of other shifters where she knew that her pride mattered the most, she would show her defiance side to him. He didn’t find it likeable, it was nice that she was willing to fight but she always fought for the wrong causes and wrong reasons. It was one thing that she has abandoned her duties but it was completely another thing that she has tailed after Levy. She might like to pass it off as, ‘Oh I did it for the pack,’ but Logan knew that there was more to that, s
“ What kind of dumb superstition is that?” Leo who was walking her home closed the door of the restaurant behind him and then looked at her with an arch of his brow. “Just because you sneezed someone is cursing you? Are you being serious right now?” Levy looked at him before shaking her head. “ This is why you are so alone and single till now, you should be you know what listening to what the universe is telling you, make sure to pay attention to the signs and prepare yourself for what is going to come.” “Oh yeah?” Leo raised a brow as he looked at her after closing the door behind him. “ And what is the universe telling you?” “It's telling me to be prepared.” “ For what exactly?” He asked raising a brow as he pointed to the man a few feet away from them. He was rummaging through the trashcan and looked up when Leo pointed at him. “Let's say that man is planning to rob me off and yet instead of telling me what’s going on in the mind of that man, the universe just sends me a sneeze
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
