CHAPTER 34ALPHA LINCOLN'S POVI wondered who could have written this book if Malachar had no friends. Did he write it himself or did he finally find someone? Although I shifted that thought away, that was not the important thing right now. The important thing is what I am learning from this book and how it can help me get my sister back, cause I will need all the knowledge I can get, seeing as I do not know much about this Locket.I confirmed that Sean was following and cleared my throat to continue.Since he could not kill himself, Malachar decided to save himself instead and so he delved into ancient tomes and scrolls, desperately. He looked through forbidden corners of magical knowledge and it made him get the idea that all these were forbidden because they were extra powerful and feared by everyone, which was exactly what he wanted.His little quest to save himself led him to uncover so many secrets that spoke of an artifact capable of tethering whoever o
CHAPTER 35ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV Malachar also placed offerings of rare gemstones on the altar. He chose this because he would need their resonance with cosmic energies. Malachar sought to invoke those during the ritual.While doing all these he was excited inside and still serious-minded. He poured liquid offerings into a scared chalice, a water that was infused with so many things. He had made this earlier just for this purpose.Finally, he was done with his whole preparation, altar preparations to be exact and now he engaged in a chanting, reciting ancient words that called upon the names of entities and spirits he was inviting.What he was chanting, the vibrations from those chants were believed to resonate with the frequencies of the unseen, which would then establish a connection for the upcoming elixir infusion. This was the first time he was doing something like this and he could only hope for the best.He was determined to make it work! Whatever it t
CHAPTER 36ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV So the next night he came back to finish everything up. He performed something that was called A Fusion Ritual. This ritual had to do with the merging of the gemstones and ethereal silver into a seamless whole. It was going to be harmonized and create a resonance that would respond to the Locket's wielder.To purify and solidify his work, he submerged in a bath. Not an ordinary one. The bath was blessed when he was doing his alignment ritual, and it would help enhance the Locket's connection to string energies.Malachar treated this Locket like a baby, polishing the locket with lunar-infused oils. It was beautiful. He praised himself for his hard work and was so proud of himself.He had finally brought the Soul bound Locket to life.MONTANA'S POVHe smiled at me. I will not forget that. I was so happy with the way they answered me, especially him.Not only that, but I had almost forgotten about the part where he slept with someon
CHAPTER 37 ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV Sean and I were both amazed that Malachar had actually been able to make that Locket. But still knowing about what the Locket would do, that was the most important thing now, how it can be activated.It is so confusing because werewolves and sorcerers are different. Why did he then give this to werewolves instead of his kind?“Go on, Lincoln”, we will figure out the questions later, it's running late, and we need to be done with this book and start getting prepared to go get that Soul bound Locket.I nodded and started reading from where I had stopped.It said that Malachar was now stronger than before or than he ever was with his New Locket. He could manipulate different things, the mind, earth, and fire. He could manipulate memories, etc.Likewise, he stayed in his little hiding space for months, getting ready for what he was about to accomplish. The funny thing was that all those months, he had not once heard
CHAPTER 38MONTANA'S POVTurning the next page in the album cleared up everything. The lady in the pictures with him, not only one but a lot, was the love of his life.I saw written down messages. It was beautiful that he had someone he could call his, but where was she?I kept watching more pictures until I saw a note. The note was from her to him when I read it.It explained how sick she was and how she was not getting better and stuff like that, to just summarize everything, I think she died.Is that why he does not do love anymore? I asked myself.Because I have noticed, even the girl he sleeps with, it's like he doesn't even let her spend the night or something. Like a fast one and she leaves.I also wonder if I will be able to change him, maybe because of me, he could love again.I was so fixed on my thoughts that I did not know when he walked in, Alpha Lincoln, “What do you think you're doing here?”And that tone did not sound good at all. My eyes widene
CHAPTER 39ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV The Morning came fast, and I was awake very early as there were much to do. I called Sean and asked him to meet me in the house.I skipped breakfast. Davina was here on time too. I had informed my family about the whole process.“Montana follow us," I told her, since she wanted to be useful, maybe there is a way for her to be useful.She followed us as we headed to the chamber in my home.“This is it…will this be enough for everything we discussed?” I asked Davina, while she inspected the place.“Of course, it would be enough, more than enough even. It's just a portal, we will make it work”, She responded.“Montana, you will shut that door and when we leave into the portal, you will stay here and watch it. Can you do that?” I explained to Montana and asked her for confirmation, cause if she can't do that, then she can just leave and another alternative will come.“Of course, I can," she said with a serious face and nodded.“Good
CHAPTER 40ALPHA LINCOLN'S POVAs my blood touched the sigil, it triggered the astral unveiling. The box responded to the familial connection and its lid gracefully opened, revealing the gleaming half of the Soul bound Locket that rested within it.It was exactly like the drawing in the book. Although more enchanting in real life.I took the Locket and closed the box, "Let's go", I put the locket into a small bag for safety and held on to it.We found the portal and went back. Montana stood up from where she was seated immediately, "You are back. How did it go? Were you able to find it?""Yes we were, now we have to go and get Victoria, whatever way we can, you stay at home," I said to her while Davina was closing the portal.As soon as Davina was done, we all left the chamber."Wait, where exactly are we going?", I stopped in my tracks and looked at Sean for answers as he was the one who brought the package."I don't know, there was no address on the letter.
CHAPTER 41ALPHA LINCOLN'S POVFlashback "We discussed this, we cannot let Elowen get these Lockets", we all discussed in my office, excluding Montana."So what do we do now? We could not come up with any plan so far", Sean said, while thinking of anything."I will go with you, Alpha Lincoln, instead of Sean", Davina offered."That cannot happen, Davina and you know it. She would probably sense your magic, and you heard the warning. If we are to get this done we need to be prepared, smarter, and more equipped than her", I said to them seriously."I have a plan, listen. I can do a mange where I can look like Sean. It lasts for some hours. We go in, give her a fake Locket and leave. Just in case she notices that the Locket is safe then, we get ready to fight, so just examine how many people are there, I'm sure we can take them down together", Davina informed us."I like it, Sean, what do you think?""I like it too, I will drive you there and if you need anything
CHAPTER 150AUTHOR'S POV "What was all an act?", Zendaya asked him, confused."I do not hate you Zendaya, you are not a monster and I know your kind exists, and that is because I have met one," Alexander informed her."Go on," Zendaya said to him, clearly wanting to know more, "What is his or her name? I want to know if I know the person.""You do not, it was a long time ago, I did not let my dad know they existed because I knew this is what he will do. I love him, but his obsession with winning and being known, being top one of everything makes him more selfish, even to me.," Alexander explained to Zendaya and all of a sudden, started uncuffing her."I am upset though that you were not truthful with me, I do not hate you, I just wish you had told me," he said to her softly as he uncuffed her fully and she hugged him tightly."I am so sorry", her eyes started getting filled up with tears, "I was scared, scared you would fear me or not want me."Alexander unde
CHAPTER 149AUTHOR'S POV Zendaya could see her brother was happy for her, but would he be when he learns that her mate is human?But before telling him, she wanted to see Alexander, just In case, Zane would not let her if he finds out her mate is human, and she would not know when she would be able to come out and meet with him, "Before I say more, I need to ask for a favor. If you do this for me, I will forgive you totally for your betrayal.""I do not like the sound of this," Zane said, eyeing his sister suspiciously."Can't you just do this one thing for me? Do I really have to beg you to- just never mind", Zendaya said, her happy face changing, "Just forget it, I guess I can't ask you for anything.""Stop, you can, you know you can, but it better not be risky", Zane sighed, falling for her trap with love, "Fine tell me.">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Zane had agreed, and now Zendaya was on her way to Alexander's house. She was going to surprise him, she j
CHAPTER 148AUTHOR'S POV "I want to see how red you are," Alexander said, but the way he said it sounded so sexy that Zendaya had to bite her lips and hummed.She was a werewolf, these things happen, even if she is just seventeen, but she is turning eighteen and is totally normal for her to meet and be with her mate."Fine, you better don't tease me more. I bet you are even blushing more than me," she said to him as she agreed, and they switched to video call."Hey!", he said and Zendaya just looked away shyly while blushing."Hi," she said softly."Have I told you how cute you are?", Alexander asked her, a smile lingering on his lips. There was just this way he looked at her, adored her, paid attention to her and what she said."As a matter of fact, yes mister, you have," Zendaya answered a bit more confidently than before."You are cute," He said it again, enjoying her reaction, the way her eyes lit up softly, and she smiled. He just loved the way he could
CHAPTER 147AUTHOR'S POVZendaya blinked softly and wiped off the tears that rolled down her face, "Yes," she said in a whisper."Good, that settles it", Lincoln concluded, ending the chapter of the whole argument there."Zen-", Zane tried to reach out for her, but she moved away from him."Don't, I hope you are happy, you are never punished," She said and then excused herself, before leaving the dining room."Zendaya?", Zane called out to her, but she ignored him and went up to her room.He sighed and sat back down. He didn't mean for it to come out this way? He just-he did not even know how to explain why he decided to tell their parents."Don't worry, just give her sometime, she will come around," Montana said to Zane, but Zane was sure that Zendaya was upset and disappointed in her, just by the look of pain in her eyes.In Zendaya's room, she locked the door and stayed inside, crying, she wiped her face but still, the tears kept flowing profusely, "They ju
CHAPTER 146AUTHOR'S POV Zane had a straight face all along as he said to his sister, "Watch me.""Zane please", Zendaya grabbed his arm, softly, stopping him and pleading, "please don't tell them, I already apologized for scaring you or making you worry."Her eyes pleaded too, this was the first time she had done something like this, plus she did not want anyone finding out about anything for now."Just got to bed", Zane sighed and left."Aish", Zendaya hissed and ruffled her hair. She was really hoping and praying her brother doesn't tell their parents tomorrow.Throughout the night, it was a bit hard for Zendaya to sleep. She kept thinking and thinking about Alexander and the kiss they shared, Goddess, her brain, and body were on fire.She had informed him when she had gotten home though, they did not talk about the kiss but just short talks about reaching home, and going to bed, things like that.When Zendaya was finally able to sleep, she slept like
CHAPTER 145AUTHOR'S POV With a silent grace, Alexander moved closer, his gaze fixed on her, "I should just do this, I can't pretend anymore," he said to himself through his mind.He had been holding back his feelings and tonight, she just took his breath away with the way she looked, the fun they had together and everything. She was the one.He just knew it.Alexander reached for her and pulled her softly. With a gentle tug, he pulled her closer, his touching making her shiver a bit through her spine.Zendaya turned, startled at the sudden contact, only to find herself face to face with Alexander. As she recognized him, her eyes widened, her breath fanning against his, her heart beating.As their lips brushed against each other's in a tantalizing tease, it sent a surge of electricity coursing through Zendaya's body, even Alexander, who seemed to be trying to stay in control. Zendaya sucked in a sharp breath. Soon with trembling hands, they drew closer, thei
CHAPTER 144AUTHOR'S POV Zendaya was taken aback, her brow raised from shock or maybe more of surprise as she turned to the person who made that statement, "Eyes are up here.""Of course, princess", the boy raised his eyes to hers."Thank you for the compliment," Zendaya said politely with a smile and turned to leave.If that was not enough, she still felt him staring at her ass and that did make her very uncomfortable, so she turned again and caught him looking, he did not even try to pretend like he was not.He just smiled and stared at her, their faces meeting each other.She noticed he was accompanied by his friends who acted like he knew nothing about what was happening."Can you stop," Zendaya said."Stop what?", the boy asked, acting ignorant."Stop staring at my ass, you are making me uncomfortable," She replied confidently."Your ass just seemed to get in front of my eyes' princess, I mean no harm", The boy told her, smiling and feeling like he was c
CHAPTER 143AUTHOR'S POV A smile lingered on Zendaya's face as she recalled her conversation with Alexander. Despite the reluctance to part ways, she knew they both had things to attend too.Maybe this was so much harder for her because she would feel the pull of the mate bond more, as she is the werewolf, and he is only a human. Ugh!Rising from the bed, Zendaya headed towards the bathroom. She turned on the soothing rush of water.She undressed, got in and let the warmth of the water cascade all over her. She took her time to cleanse herself both, physically and mentally, while thinking about the plans she had for the day.When she finished, she turned off the water and stepped out of the shower where she reached for a soft towel and gently dried her curls.She ran her fingers through her damp locks, proud of the feel and look.With her hair now dry, she did what was necessary, feeling refreshed as she selected her attire for the day, going for something th
CHAPTER 142MONTANA'S POV"My Lord," Quinn said as he also bowed at Lincoln, "It's an honor."Lincoln just kept staring at Quinn, not saying a word, until the whole room was quiet and tense. Typical Lincoln, we all know he can get overprotective of Victoria sometimes."She is my baby sister", he finally uttered.Quinn nodded, obviously aware of that."I don't joke with her," Lincoln said again, "She is now yours and I hope you both treat each other well but if she gets hurt-."Now I intervened, "Baby!", I whispered and held his hand, "You are going to scare him!""Exactly what I want, for him to be scared," Lincoln told me but through our mind link, "He definitely should be terrified.""I promise I will take care of her, I have searched for her, I love her and will protect her, always, even through bad or good times," Quinn said confidently.Lincoln looked at him from toe to head one last time before he relaxed and said, "Welcome to the family, please join us
