Levy woke up with a jolt, she was still breathing heavily but when she saw that she was no longer in the stadium and no one was aiming a knife at her, her thumping heart finally eased down a little. She gasped for breath and pushed herself up, sitting up straight in the bed, her hand reaching out to her blind eye, the dream was simply too realistic, she almost thought that she was going to be stabbed again—— it was the first time that she has closed her eyes with a peace of mind before this she always used to sleep with one eye open, such that her mind got into the habit of staying active even when she was sleeping, back in the prison she hardly caught a wink of sleep without being jostled awake by the warden or the prisoners in the next cells. Shouts and screams have always echoed in the silent prison once in while since the human wardens had the habit of stabbing hot poker into the skin of the prisoners, she too was woken up by the warden many times—— waking up to being stabbed by
When she stepped out of the bathroom Levy smelled the scent of a delicious cheesy delight, slightly surprised and hooked, she walked to the living room where Logan was sitting with a mega-size pizza on the kitchen counter, asking him for a bite was a bit humiliating but then the cheesy smell with meatballs wafted over to her nostrils and her stomach rumbled in frustration. These past seven years she has been living on nothing but stale bread and if luck favoured her she would once in a while get a piece of meat in the stew or something when she won the death marathon, it would be a surprise if her stomach didn’t protest against her when she was looking at such a big, hot and cheesy pizza. Levy gulped as she watched Logan pick up a slice of pizza and chomp half of it down, she knew that going there and asking for one slice would bring her nothing but humiliating taunts but she was hungry and her stomach was hooked. In the end, even if she wanted to stick to her pride and not give that
Levy ran to her old hideout, it couldn’t be called a hideout since many wolves from her pack knew about this place but even to this date, it seemed that no one ever bothered to come here. A small shack sitting at the very end of the pack’s territory, she still remembered how the pack members used to hate her and her mother even when they weren’t blamed for anything—— that was why her mother built this shack outside the main territory hoping that she will get some peace of mind from those who wanted to make things difficult for them. It was annoying to say that despite their attempts to stay away from the pack’s members, they were still seen as a danger and were often ostracised—— one time she returned home sporting a bruise that she received from Moira and her mother decided that they had enough of the pack’s nonsense, so she brought Levy here where no one came, used her magic and built this small shack that only occupied a small space on the territory. As she walked closer to the s
“ Elder Abbot?” Levy was sure that her heart jumped to her throat for a second but that was until she saw Elder Abbot standing behind her, heaving a sigh of relief she walked to the old man who was dressed in long sleeves Hawaiian shirt and baggy pants. “ You scared me, what are you doing here?” Elder Abbot simply smiled at her as he raised the box of chicken wings in his hands and said, “ I heard from the pack members that you were brought back by that stupid boy, so I went to see you but when I reached Logan’s lodge I heard a lot of squealing, so I understood that you weren’t there. I came looking for you here given that this was the only place where you used to hide as a child.” Levy blushed a little, though she wasn’t close to the other elders—— Elder Abbot was the weird one in the group, he didn’t prance around the pack acting all high and mighty just because he had the authority to banish anyone at anytime instead he was much more kind and treated everyone despite their distin
“ Seven years, it has been a long time,” said elder Abbot as he pushed the white box with the ‘Grill and Flix’ written with bright orange letters towards her. “ I bet the wardens of that place wouldn’t have offered you anything good to eat, so make sure to fill your stomach. You look dead on your feet, I mean look at those sharp cheekbones, it looks like you have been eating nothing but air all along.” Levy was indeed hungry, she was dragged to the territory the first thing in the morning in fact Logan didn’t even give her a chance to eat the loaf of bread or something and had her take a look at Lily, which was why she took such an extreme step such as stealing his pizza from right under his nose. She flicked open the boxes of fried chicken and pizza before picking up a chicken wing that was still warm and took a bite—— mhmm, she really missed this… in the prison the only thing she got to eat was a loaf of hardened bread that has been left out in the open for more than two weeks and
Levy didn’t say anything, she long learned how crazy shifters can be when they faced beings that were more powerful than them. Though she was a shifter as well, she was half witch that was why she didn’t think too much while talking shit about the shifters inwardly, Elder Abbot studied her before his lips rose in her a knowing smile and he said, “ You look like you are thinking something bad, aren’t you?” “ Am I that easy to read?” mused Levy as she took a bite of her pizza, that shouldn’t be the case though. She was pretty sure that she could hide her true emotions almost too perfectly after staying in the prison for so long. “ You are not, it's just that I am an old man with a lot of experience,” answered Elder Abbot before leaning back and fishing out a card from the front pocket of his shirt. “ Anyway, the reason, I came here was because … I wanted to hand this to you.” “ What is it?” She stretched her hand and picked the white card that had something written in italic bronze a
The man with curly brown hair and green eyes strode towards Levy before he snatched the card from her finger albeit none too gently causing Levy to frown as she stared at him and said, “ What’s the matter with you? Can’t you be a little less rude, we might work as coworkers in the future, do you really want to make things difficult between us at the first meeting?” “ I don’t think we are going to work together,” said the man his emerald eyes flashing as he crumpled up the card that Levy brought with her and said, “ I apologise to you young lady but we are not hiring, the posts are full. You can leave now——” he didn’t get a chance to finish his sentence as a man with his platinum coloured hair tied in a ponytail crept behind him and smacked green eye with a rolled up magazine. “Now I understand why I didn’t see anyone responding to the advertisement that I posted, it was you … Leo, you were scaring our prospective new workers back.” Leo let out a muffled yelp before turning around an
Dressed in an oversized light purple shirt with ripped jeans, Levy came out of the resting room. Leo seemed to be still going on and on about how they couldn’t afford to hire her but Kyle was clearly not having it, he smacked the aisle of the kitchen platform with his hand and calmly yet with an authority that was hard to miss said, “ I don’t need you to tell me that we don’t have the funds, the shelter is doing well and we can somehow manage to pull a few more sponsors if we work a bit hard, as for the restaurant … it's not that I am trying to complain to you but I don’t think fighting with every other customer without bowing down in the slightest is how you should be working. I understand that you are worried but this is not going to help us … Oh, you are here,” noticing her, Kyle stopped his diatribe and sweetly smiled at her, his light grey eyes crinkling as he did that. “ I have to say that you are looking good.” “ Yeah the clothes you chose for me were really good, they fit as
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
