Chapter Ninety-nine: Babysitting

last update Last Updated: 2025-04-02 21:58:38

Lila's POV

I was a bit taken aback at her utterance. A girl her age shouldn't be thinking of revenge. And the way she spoke with so much determination made me wonder who had hurt this little girl so badly to make her reason this way.

We found a table and sat, and then I asked her, “Take revenge on who?”

“The people who killed my mother!” She spat, her voice laced with venom and her eyes shimmering with tears that she fought back.

The pain of losing a mother at such a young age must have made her believe that someone was the cause.

Sometimes, things like this just happen. Things beyond our control and we look for someone to blame it on, just to feel better.

“You think your mother was murdered,” I said, even though I wanted to make it a question.

“I know my mother was murdered.” She corrected, her tone growing colder.

She seemed offended by my statement.

Whoa! This kid is something else.

“Oh,” I managed to say.

She was silent for a while, “Do you have anyone in mind?” I asked her. Beca

    Lila's POV I woke the next morning feeling unusually tired. Must have been all the mental and physical stress from yesterday.Remembering that I had to look after some kid sent a feeling of fear all over me.I instantly reached for my phone on the nightstand and dialed Dominic's number. This is something I should've done since yesterday. I should've called him yesterday and expressed my displeasure with his arrangements.It rang for a while and no one answered.Is it too early?I checked the time; it was already past seven, and he should be awake by now.I called again, waiting patiently.When he didn't pick up on the third ring, I gave up.Frustrated, I got ready to go to the library. I wanted to stay somewhere away from all this stress.I got out and met Brian outside my door with a lollipop in his mouth, I raised a questioning brow at him.“What are you doing here so early?” I asked.“I heard you got a kid, so I came to take a look.” He grinned widely.

    Lila's POV I felt a sudden ache in my chest as those words left his mouth. “Dominic?” I called to be sure he was really the one saying these hurtful things to me.“What if she were a member of Blackwood? Would you throw her away because she's too much to handle?” He pressed, I leaned my head back on the wall and tried to blink back the tears that had gathered in the corners of my eye with heat rising in my chest, I struggled to stay open minded. Maybe he's just trying to advise me, feeling hurt is just an unintended consequence of his actions.“Lila,” He called softly, I bit my lower lip in an attempt to stop any sound from escaping despite the storm brewing in my chest.“To be Luna, you have to be a mother to everyone in the pack. This has nothing to do with age; you have to be mentally and physically prepared to handle things that are way beyond your control.”“You have to be adaptive; things won't always go your way, but you can make the best out of the situation instead of lame

    Lila's POV “Lila!” Morinda's voice came as soon as I jolted back to reality.I was sweating profusely and panting, what the actual fuck was that? Wasn't that a memory? How was she able to grab me in a memory?I felt a cold shiver run down my spine.I looked into Morinda's wrinkled face as she bent before me, her face trying to read mine.“You have been gone for a while,” She said, giving me a moment to get my thoughts together, she asked,“What happened, dear? What did you see?” I checked my wrist where the witch had grabbed, I felt a sense of relief that it didn't have any physical effect.I swallowed hard, my throat had no trace of moisture.“I need water,” I said dryly. Morinda scanned my face for a while before handing me a bottle of water from her small table.“Thank you,” I said and accepted the bottle of water. I gulped down loudly, finishing it in one go.I was starting to feel my soul returning to me.Morinda dropped to the floor so that we were facing each other, she studi

    Judith's POV After my session with Lila, I rushed to the city for my fashion design class. Yes, I registered at a fashion institute where I'm required to make a physical appearance at least twice a week.It was almost bedtime, and I sat on the couch with Jonathan's head on my thighs as I brushed his hair gently.With Dominic out of town, he was left in charge of overseeing the smooth running of the Pack.This is the best I could do to relieve his stress, sometimes I would massage his back or help him have a soothing bath.We've talked about it a lot of times and we have decided to get married as soon as everything is over. When the whole elemental and black magic saga comes to an end. After the dust has settled, we will get married and be happy.“You're unusually quiet, what are you thinking about?” His voice suddenly cut through my thoughts, making me smile.“Just thinking about random stuff,” I responded, still rubbing his head.“I want to hear it,” He said softly.

    Juliana's POV **A Week Earlier**“Go get your things, we're leaving.” He ordered authoritatively, the weight of his words leaving no room for argument but I wasn't just going to follow him around like a puppy.“Dad! “ I exclaimed, slightly surprised or I was pretending to be. Maybe there was something else I was masking it with.His eyes narrowed down on me and I could tell he was losing his patience.When that witch burned my wrist, I cried to my father. He had told me to go home, but for some reason, I bluntly refused, leaving him with no option but to send the best healers to me.Now, he's furious that no punishment had been given to Lila for hurting me, all because she's the Alpha's mate.He's more disappointed in Alpha Leo for not considering their friendship over the years and choosing a witch from a conflicted background. For siding with her over us. I was also a bit disappointed in them. My wound isn't healing fast despite being a wolf. It looks unpleasant to the eyes. My ch

    Juliana's POV There's something strange about the determination in Lauren's voice that piqued my interest. There was a hint of disgust in her voice if I'm not mistaken.“Are you already giving up on Dominic? Deep down you know he belongs to you. You know she hasn't done anything to deserve him.” She spoke steadily, peering intensely into my eyes. I fought the urge to scoff. “What should I do when he already chose someone else instead of me?”He made his choice. Despite the pain that comes with admitting to this fact, I've come to accept it.“Their union is a disaster, I'm sure you've heard that. Would you rather intervene now or stay apartheid and watch the worst come to Blackwood? Even if Dominic might die in the process?” Her eyes never left mine as she spoke.If she was aiming to scare me, then she was definitely doing a great job at it because a dreadful shiver overtook my body for a split second after the words left her mouth.Luther had mentioned the same, now Lauren.

This increased my hatred for Lila; since her arrival to the pack, things have gone the direct opposite in my favor. She has taken everything from me.This was the height of it all. I couldn't take it anymore. I could kill her if I got the chance. She's a bad omen and doesn't deserve to live among people.She carried trouble with her everywhere she went, effortlessly emitting bad luck like a transmitter, inflicting everyone within reach.‘Just wait until I'm done with you.’ I said in my mind as I glared at Lila from across my table as she ate with Brian and a little girl.

    Brian's POV “Where's your phone?” I demanded, my voice calm and measured despite the crawl I felt under my skin. I needed to find mine but I couldn't see a thing. The darkness thickened, increasing the tension in the air.“Wh– why should I give you my phone?” I could hear her shallow breathing through the silent night.“I need to find my phone!” A frustrated groan left my throat. What did she think I was going to do with her phone? Couldn't she see that I need even a flicker of light to help my vision? Moreover, I was losing patience. I needed to be with Lila. I needed to make sure she was safe.The feeling of uneasiness clung to me like a second skin, triggering my senses.Her phone's screen shone softly on her face, making her the only glowing spot in the dark. Slowly, the flashlight came on and I immediately spotted my phone. Without hesitation, I reached for it.The screen was cracked but it was manageable. At least the flashlight was working.I dashed for the staircase, determin

    Judith's POV “Where is Lauren?” I went straight to the point, definitely not in the mood to put up with her behavior. She can wait for Lila to get better then they continue their feud.“And how am I supposed to know that?” She folded her arms over her breasts with her gaze matching mine.“Don’t mess with me, I don't have the patience for that,” I warned, my voice instantly turning cold.She scoffed, stepping closer. “I don't know where Lauren is, if I were you I'd be worried about much bigger things than trying to get an innocent lady upset.” The way the words rolled out of her mouth felt so wrong. Like she knew something we all didn't. Something is wrong. Her confidence, everything.I arched an eyebrow, “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”She shrugged nonchalantly, “I don't know, we'll see.”Her eyes sparkled with something deadly, something darker. Something beyond my understanding. I watched as she walked away, swaying her hips, my self-control slipping by the second. The s

    Judith's POV I watched her struggling to hold them off, her arms vibrating as they stretched forth holding the already breached barrier in place. A stray tear rolled down the corner of my eye at the sight of her fighting to keep her eyes open.“Lila,” I called softly, a little whimper involuntarily escaping my mouth.I didn't think she could hear me, but she did; her eyes searched everywhere until they found me, her formerly lively face now paler by the second.“Lila,” I called again, feeling a little helpless at her current state. She's all alone out there, scared, drained. Fighting for the people who once treated her as an outcast because she was birthed by a witch. For the people who had wanted nothing more than to throw her out of the Packhouse.“Judith,” She whispered weakly, “You shouldn't be here.”I shook my head, tears spilling from my eyes. Tears I didn't want to shed for the fear of making her weaker. Tears I fought to hold back just so I could give her some kind of motiva

    Brian's POV Saying I expected those words from Judith would be a blatant lie. I was taken aback myself. Didn't she break down a while ago when they got separated? Now she's throwing it all under the bus for some heroic move? Is this how quickly it is with women? The mood swing thing?“Excuse us,” I pulled her to the side, maybe I could talk some sense into her, just maybe. “What are you doing?” “Staying here to help. Isn't it obvious?” She asked back, feigning confidence even though I could see through her eyes that she wanted to be with him more than anything else.I sighed, shaking my head slightly.“There's nothing left for you to do here. Go to your mate.” “No.” She replied bluntly, making no attempt to comply, her eyes holding mine as if this was a staring competition.My hands moved until they settled on my waist, maintaining that posture for a while, just peering intently into her face. “You know, you and Lila, I'm starting to wonder who is more stubborn.”She shrugged casua

    Judith's POV I staggered backward until I crashed to the ground, my legs suddenly finding it difficult to carry my body.Fear gripped me, my eyes taking in the gruesome scene before me.My ears suddenly became alert, realizing that the killer might still be lurking around waiting for the next victim.My heart throbbed vigorously against my rib cage, fear clouding my senses at the thought that there was a murderer in our midst and on the loose. And we had no idea who it was.I sprang up to my feet with determination, sprinting out of the room as fast as I could. I had to warn the others. Whoever it was that had managed to penetrate the Packhouse and eliminate Morinda was dangerous. They had to be alert.My legs descended the stairs rapidly, my steps were as light as a feather. It felt as if I was flying over them. “There's a killer in the building!” I announced breathlessly. My intention wasn't to scare anyone, just to keep them alert, but my approach was wrong. They stared at me wit

    Judith's POV The ache in my body threatened to rip me apart. It was too much, too intense. This is probably the end of it for us. How did we not know it was the full moon tonight? Now we're all a wrecking mess, praying for some kind of miracle to happen.“Urgh!” My throat cracked along with the bones of my body. Why did this have to happen now? Has the moon goddess forsaken us? Is this how we perish?I would never have thought that the witch could harness the full moon’s energy to resurrect the dead. I've heard that it was possible. Only heard, not really believed it. And this was said to have happened over two hundred years ago. When witches were still allowed to coexist with werewolves. It all seemed like a nightmare I wanted to make up so badly from.“We have to leave now.” Jonathan’s voice interrupted my train of thought as he wrapped his arm around me, nudging me to move. His eyes burned with contained pain. He was trying his best to be strong for me. For us.Shaking my head in

    Lila's POV I found it difficult to sleep after my encounter with the witch in that memory lane. For some reason, it scared me; I feared that she would reappear in my dream and trap me there. I've been trapped before, it's not a funny experience. Not something I wish to experience again.Her presence felt oddly familiar and I feared what that could mean. In the library, I searched for a book on ancient spells; I was bent on finding out how she was about to touch me in a trance. Despite looking for a while, I couldn't find anything tangible, but I kept looking, keeping my mind open for possibilities.Then the lights went out and I found myself stuck at the library. It was just me there, nobody else. A feeling of fear washed over me as my heart thumped rapidly against my chest as if it could explode at any minute.Luckily I was with my phone, so I was able to keep my corner illuminated until the saved energy was restored. I was going to return to my room when I met Judith and the rest.
