“ I am not a child,” Levy told him as she turned to walk back to the lodge. Logan followed right behind her, under the moonlight his dark hair took a lighter shade as it shimmered under the moonlight, she heard him hum as he spoke, “ From your survival instincts, I do think that you are indeed a child.” His electric eyes bore into hers as he continued, “ You should have run away the second you heard the man say that he was a dark mage but you stayed with him, why? Feeling sympathetic towards him. I might as well tell you that Derek had done more bad than he had done good, there is a reason I am against him.” Levy pursed her lips, she couldn’t deny the fact that Derek’s revelation of him being a dark mage had got her thinking. A part of her wanted to believe that he was an exception to the rules which were applied to dark mages and witches but Levy also knew that the witches and mages who were born with dark magic in their veins were born treacherous and unfeeling. She hoped that De
While Logan was busy doing his work, Levy was twisting on the couch. She dreamed of the prison once again but this time she was tied inside the a large cauldron with cuts all over her body and she was surrounded by dark mages, with flames burning all over the cauldron. As she watched the dark mages dance around her cauldron in which she was boiling, she was a familiar man step forward with a dagger in his hands as he stabbed her in her chest, this caused her to snap away from her sleep. With her hand clutching the blanket which was lying on her body, she breathed heavily and then turned to look at Logan who seemed to have fallen asleep while working. The glasses on his nose was almost slipping down and the documents in his hands had fallen on the ground, with his awful posture, Levy was sure that he was going get a backache in the morning. She got up from the couch on which she was sleeping and then walked over to the man who was sleeping awkwardly on the couch. Her eyes took in hi
“You only see the wounds on my skin,” he brought her hand to his chest and then pressed it against his heart where Levy could feel his thumping heart. “ Have you ever thought about how much my heart was hurting when I couldn’t see you?” “ You … You are just being cheeky,” came Levy’s ushered response as she looked at the man who was holding her tightly by keeping a hand around her waist. “ I am sure you will think that,” his eyes darkened even further as he dipped his hand which was holding her waist further down causing her to stiffen. Her breathing laboured which made his cocky smirk widen even more, annoyance flashed in Levy’s eyes but she still pursed her lips as she tried to shake him off and said, “ I am tired after what happened to——”“ Then use your magic to stop me,” he interrupted her, as they sat so close to each other, Levy could feel his hot breath caressing her skin. She even caught the evil glint in his eyes which looked slightly annoyed and angry, a part of her wonde
Logan who wanted to devour the woman in his arms, paused when he looked at Levy who had passed out in his arms. He listened to her uneven breath and pulled his lips away from hers before taking a small nip at the top of her lips. He cradled the back of her neck as he stared down at her face which was flushed red. Her eyes were closed and she seemed to have fainted because of lack of breath. He stared at the unconscious woman for a few moments before picking her up in his arms and then taking her to the second floor where he placed her on the bed. Turning on the air conditioner, he walked towards the bathing room which was on the third floor—— as he pushed open the door of the bathing room of the third floor, a jacuzzi with multiple settings came into view. Next to it was a small refrigerator which was filled with liquor and beer cans, Logan unbuttoned his shirt and then headed towards the jacuzzi ignoring the soft jazz music which turned on its own as soon as he stepped inside the r
“ Is there anything else that you wanted to say, Aunt?” Derek knew that his aunt did not come here to talk to him for no reason, she might be worried about him but there was no need for her to come rushing like this was there.“ Can’t I come here because I want to see you?” Rosalind questioned she was so angry that she laughed out loud, seeing that Derek was still looking at her, she nursed her forehead and then said, “ I am not trying to interfere with your life, Derek. But I think that instead of chasing after a woman, you cannot have why don’t you meet with Amaira? She is a lovely lady and you know her as well.”It took Derek a long time before he could even remember who this Amaira was, it was only after a very long time did he recall that Amaira was the daughter of one of his aunt’s clients back then when they were young they used to play with each other but then she moved away for some reason and Derek never met her again. Though he still remembered her eyes which were as shiny
When Levy woke up, she found herself in familiar surroundings. She pushed herself off the bed and looked at the empty bedroom. Maybe at some point at night, Logan carried her to the bedroom and went out, she turned to look at the large windows which faced the territory. As sunlight sprinkled through the glass of the window, Levy slid down the bed and then stretched her arms but winced slightly when she looked down at the red skin which was still healing. As she walked over to the mirror on the side of the room, she noticed those red and swollen lips in her reflection. The memories from last night came flooding in her head and she flushed red in shame and embarrassment but at the same time she felt her stomach fluttering, something that did not happen for ages. She raised her hand and touched her swollen lips but winced when she realised that stupid jerk had chewed and nibbled on her lips causing her to roll her eyes. “ What a beast, no wonder he was born a wolf shifter. He just like
“ This is not how a place which is supposed to be handing out justice should be functioning,” she muttered as she headed out of the room to get changed inside the bathing room.“ What can I say?”Logan shrugged his shoulders as he fell a step behind her and followed her out of the room. “ Prejudices have been set in stone for a very long time even if we try to change them with the passage of time, I am afraid that it will not be easy.” “ Mhmm, I am glad that our safety, security and future are in the hands of such biased elders,” Levy deadpanned as she headed down the stairs behind her Logan laughed as he knocked at the back of her head and said, “ I know that you are quite unhappy with the elders but I hope that you will keep your dissatisfaction to minimum in front of them. They can be real petty when they want which is why be as calm as possible no matter how they treat you.” “ Are you saying that I should continue smiling even if one of them is being an arsehole to me?” She turne
As the man spoke he turned to look at Levy who lowered her head but inwardly she was cursing the man for being partial. Clearly, it was Logan who killed those enforcers, though the reason was her, there was no reason to put the blame on her head like this. “ There is no need to be so hard on them, Elder Bailey,” Elder Griffiths spoke kindly as he turned to look at Levy who was still standing politely and said, “ Sit down such that we can start the trial.” Levy heaved a sigh of relief as she took her seat on the chair and then turned to look at Logan who was sitting beside her. With that casual and languid posture, he looked a bit too at ease for her liking, was this a usual thing for him? She questioned in her head. “ Do you know why you were brought here?” One of the elders spoke as he looked at Levy. Their glowing eyes were focused on her as if they were afraid of even missing a single flicker in her expression, Levy noticed that some of them were even whiffing as if they wanted
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
