last update Last Updated: 2025-01-29 07:22:38

Lila's POV

Brian choked on the water he was drinking, spitting it out. Luckily, no one was close enough for the water to splash on them.

My mouth widened in disbelief. Luis really said that. It wasn't new information, but his delivery was completely off.

If it had been someone else saying it, I might have supported their point, but I couldn’t bring myself to agree with Luis.

Though Dominic wasn't great to me, I would choose him over Luis— it was a choice of the lesser evil.

"Says who?" Dominic asked in a deep, authoritative tone, his hands calmly resting in his pockets. What trick was he trying to pull?

It was already a known fact that we had rejected each other. I slipped my hand into my pocket as the pain in my stomach intensified.

Luis shifted his gaze to me, “Lila, were you not rejected?” That bastard, why did he have to drag me into it? I laughed weirdly at Luis’s question, what was he expecting me to say?

“Who told you I was rejected?” I asked without batting an eye. There w

    Lila's POV I must have left them utterly speechless, their jaws hanging open in disbelief. They were too shocked to say anything.After that intense conversation, I retreated to my room.I wash away the day’s stress in a warm shower before sinking into the comfort of my bed. I lay on my stomach, the fabric of the sheets cool against my skin, hoping the cramping pain in my abdomen would subside soon.I heard a knock on my door, I decided not to answer, thinking whoever was at the door would leave if I didn’t respond. But I was wrong, the person kept knocking.Reluctantly, I peeled myself off the bed and walked over to the door, turning the handle to reveal Judith standing there, her expression a mixture of concern and determination.“Judith?” I asked in a soft voice, the surprise barely contained. She held a thermo bottle in her hands, its sleek design gleaming in the dim light, and I couldn’t help but wonder what was inside it.“I heard you were having cramps,” she said, her voic

    Lila's POV “You are crazy Judith!” I said, throwing a pillow at her. What a ridiculous suggestion. I stood up and headed for the door. I swung it open and pointed outside. “You should take your leave if you have nothing useful to say,” I stated calmly. I needed to get rid of her before she polluted my mind.She kept laughing. She had been laughing after my exclamation; I knew she found it amusing, especially when she caught me blushing, too. She was beginning to get under my skin. “I was only joking. You shouldn’t be standing there.” She patted a spot next to her, and continued, “Come sit and let’s talk.” She raised her hands in the air as if she were surrendering herself. I rolled my eyes at her childishness. How was she different from Brian? But I could swear I’d kick Brian in his groin if he ever tried that shit with me. Instead of taking the spot she offered, I went to sit on the bed instead.“Now be serious,” I warned, my voice steady and stern. She dropped her hands, adju

    Lila's POV Thankfully, I wasn’t the only one taken aback this time. How could someone be so shameless? I shook my head as I tried fanning myself with my hand to cool the hotness I felt from within. I turned to Brian, who also had a shocked expression. “Is this one of the rituals she does every year?” I asked out of deep curiosity.“No, this is new.” He replied in a low voice. He proceeded to take a sip from his cocktail, clearing his throat right after as if he had something to say. “Juliana, everyone is watching.” He sounded irritated. That was probably the first time I’d heard Brian sound like that. Juliana didn’t reply, but instead, her eyes were fixed on Dominic who was probably in a daze or unbothered by what just happened. Anyway, I couldn’t figure out what was going through his head at that point. I had to applaud his composure in my head. “She’s so annoying,” Brian muttered under his breath, but it felt like he said it on purpose. I could hear him ‘cause I was sitting c

    Juliana’s POV I couldn’t stop tears from rolling down my face. I knew Dominic had told me on several occasions, even before he met his mate, that I would never be more than a sister to him. We weren’t blood related so why should I be his sister? I remember how I used to follow him around when I was still a pup. It was uncommon for werewolves to joke about their child getting married to another wolf, knowing the wolf probably had a soulmate somewhere. But my dad wouldn’t stop talking about how nice it would be to have Dominic as his son-in-law. So, I grew up believing one day he would be mine. The moment I turned sixteen and I couldn’t smell him as my mate, I knew I’d have to double my effort in loving and trying to win his heart. And given the all-prophecy saga around his soulmate and how he was so not bothered about finding her from the get-go, I felt he was indeed finally going to notice me. But now what? Did he kiss her? How could he do that to me? I was certain he

    Lila's POV Should I go to Dominic and ask him if what I heard from Julian is true or should I just sleep in my room and ponder on it by myself? There was warfare happening in my soul. Of course, I ended up pondering about it all night. And I finally concluded it was best I stayed away from Dominic. But I still gave myself the benefit of the doubt—I decided to ask Judith about it. Even if it meant guilt-tripping her until she talked, I planned to do it. Judith stopped working the moment she moved into the pack. She said it wasn’t her dream to be a nurse, but she had to deal with it because she had been protecting me. So, she started taking a course on fashion—it was her dream to become a fashion designer. Good for her, now she has a dream. I, on the other hand, still didn’t have a dream. I chose to become a nurse because it was well-paying, and it was the only stable job that could pay my mother’s debt and also grant me access to legalized loans. I chose nursing to survive. It

    Dominic's POVMy wolf had been restless ever since I kissed Lila. I didn't expect to act on impulse like that—neither did he.All I knew was that I wanted to remind Juliana of where she stood, but what surprised me most was Lila retracting her kiss. Who does that? She continues to astonish me.Jonathan and I have finally narrowed down our hunt for the witches to three individuals, but records indicated that they were all deceased.Jonathan and I brainstormed, and it became clear that one of them must have faked her own death.We decided to trace their origins and see if they left any clues that could lead us to the truth behind their disappearances.As I checked my wristwatch, I realized Jonathan should have returned by now.Just then, he walked in with a strange expression on his face. It was evident he had some grim news.I leaned back in my seat, prepared for the confirmation of my worst fears.“They're all dead. I have a full report on their births, lives, and deaths.” I crossed m

    Lila's POV Dominic didn’t try to persuade or make me stay. He stared keenly at me for a long while, as if pondering over what I said.“Fine.” My heart skipped when he agreed.I didn't think he would let me have my way so easily.“I can leave?” I asked in surprise, just to be sure.“I didn't say you could leave.” He responded and I was taken aback.“You said fine, what did you mean?” I questioned further, a frown forming on my face.“You're not leaving; I'm leaving," he stated. Jonathan turned swiftly to look at him, his brow raised.“Alpha!” He called out as if trying to bring Dominic back to his senses.“Huh?” My eyes widened in the utmost confusion.Dominic turned to Jonathan and said, “I know what I'm doing.” Then he turned back to me.“I can't let you go out there, knowing fully well that people are waiting to get a hold of you.” He explained calmly, his eyes not leaving mine. I swallowed hard; he was right. The people who kidnapped my mom just to get to me, we still don't know

    Victor's POV I couldn't help but wonder why Dominic didn’t suspect me at all, he must have really underestimated me. And that only made me furious. Call it an inferiority complex, but I do not like being looked down on. Luther informed me that Lila and Dominic kissed at the diner. How could they be in love when I was still struggling to deal with stigmatization? I had concluded that as long as I was still breathing, I wouldn’t watch them fall in love and get mated. I decided to instill a little bit of fear in Dominic, so I sent him a text. “What if he traces the number back to you?” Morgana asked, peeling the orange in her hands with all seriousness. Her fingers were long and painted in black with only the index fingers painted in red. What a weird way to show her personality.“He can’t. The phone belongs to a dead man.” I said, trying not to remember how I killed an innocent farmer, whose body is rotting below a strange tree in his farm. I bet he didn’t have a family that c

    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

    WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS HIGHLY EXPLICIT AND DARK CONTENT. ************************Morgana's POV Lila's Powers have been unlocked and fully activated. I got news that she was improving grateful in her training to master her elemental power.Everything is going exactly as planned. What could be better than this?I had two plans; to extract Lila's powers using a very dangerous spell or to let them fully activate it for me.Both were a win-win situation for me.If they hadn't done anything to stop me, I would've extracted her powers. And now that they stopped it, her powers are unlocked. Which was exactly what I wanted from the beginning.I was waiting for the best time to strike.“Morgana, this may be a little too extreme. Please come up with something else.” The coward, Victor said to me.“After all this time and you still doubt me. Do you think I would let myself in a situation where I would be caught off guard again?” I asked him, trying to hide the frustration in my voice.

    Lila's POV Fuck! I turned to face Judith.“Judith,” I called with a nervous laugh, hiding the uniform behind me.“You're back already?” I asked her.“I never left this place,” She responded as she moved slowly towards me. I suddenly shifted as I found her unusually intimidating.“You never did? Then why didn't I see you when I came out?” I bent my head to the side, feigning confusion.“Cut the crap, Lila,” She said as she stopped in front of me.“I honestly don't understand what you mean by crap, I just went out for a moment to get stuff. I told you to stop knocking; I would come out when I was ready; it's not my fault that you decided to ignore my warning and camp here.” I said, pretending to be upset.“I never knocked on your door.” She said, her gaze piercing through my skin.But over the phone, she said she did. Did I just fall into her trap?“You did, I clearly heard it.” I deadpanned.She made click sounds with her tongue and shook her head in pity.“I did not.” She denied ada

    Lila's POV The person stood about two tables from us. I couldn't recognize the person due to the gauze bandage that was wrapped all over his face and head. One eye had a plaster over it. He literally glared at me from one eye.He looked like Lazarus from the Bible story which was a bit laughable.“What are you looking at?” Brian asked, sensing my distraction.I gestured with my head and he followed the direction of my gaze and saw the person.“Who the hell is that?” He asked.“I have no idea,” I responded.Why would someone hold a grudge against someone they've never met before? Something seemed off.I stared at him trying to figure out how I had met him. To be honest, his figure looked quite familiar, but I couldn't just think of a name.Then it clicked, “Luis?” I called, not really sure if that's him. But considering the state I saw him the other day, it only made sense now.“That's Luis?” Brian asked, surprised. “Damn! They did him dirty.” I only hummed in response.He suddenly

    Lila's POV We froze on the spot. I felt sweat begin to trickle down my face and my stomach. The overall now felt incredibly hot, the heat was unbearable.“I don't think that's us,” Brian said. I nodded obediently, I really hope it's not us.We took a few steps and heard, “I said stop!” “Fuck!” Brian cursed upon realizing that it was really us.I closed my eyes tight. I was about to have a panic attack.“What do we do?” I whispered, my voice breaking.“Don't do anything, I'll handle it.” With that we turned, it was Greg.“Is there a problem?” Brian asked, his hands sealed away in the pockets of his trousers.“Not really, I just need confirmation,” Greg said, his gaze on me the whole time; I put my head down, avoiding looking directly at him.“What confirmation?” Brian asked, his head held up, trying to match up Greg's energy.“Where are you headed?” Greg asked Brian, his voice stern and unfriendly.“To the hospital, do I need to report to you?” Brian shot back.Greg stood unfazed, “W

    Lila's POV It's been ten days since Dominic traveled, and I've been doing my best to train.I've been able to master three elements: earth, fire, and air. My ability to manipulate water is still fluctuating.I went back to Morinda three days after our first try and I was able to do something.I never imagined that accepting my witch side would be more difficult than cultivating my powers as the elemental.I've been able to master a few spells, but sometimes they come on too strong, and I lose control.It's just frustrating how stressful it is.Eve never stopped to check on me, it's as if Dominic put her to it.I really enjoyed her company. We've been doing things together lately: cooking, washing, and so on.We went shopping at the Pack supermarket.Sometimes she would come watch me train just to cheer me up.I'm probably the luckiest girl in the world right now.I got dressed, ready to meet Judith for our session today.My phone buzzed and I looked to see Dominic’s number.

    Lila's POV “Wait here!” Judith said and stepped forward to join Brian.I didn't understand what was happening and the feeling was killing me. There's a package for me and I have no idea what it contains.“Fuck it!” I said under my breath and went to join them.My eyes widened in shock as I saw the bloody dagger in the box. A wave of fear watched over me. How could I not recognize it after what it did to me?“Isn't that the–” I tried to say, but my voice failed me. I felt traumatized just by looking at it.Brian turned swiftly and came to me, saying, “I told you to stay back.” His expression was serious and his tone commanding.“What is it doing here?” I pointed to it, my finger slightly trembling.“I don't know but you can't go near it.” He patted me on the back slowly, but his palm was not gentle.“Don't touch it!” He suddenly yelled at Judith who flinched in realization.He ran to her and grabbed her, then pulled her to where I stood.“What were you thinking?” He yelled angrily.

    Lila's POV The next morning I found myself in the library. It was so early so I was the only one there. First, I went to look for the book that Judith had shown us the previous day.I looked for a while but I couldn't find it. I kept looking and was about to give up when the librarian approached.“Good morning, do you need my assistance?” She asked with a smile on her face.“Yes, please. There's a book I'm looking for, It's huge…” My words trailed at the realization that I had forgotten the name of the book.Damn! If they had just written the damn thing in English it would've been easier to recall.“Do you remember the title?” She asked politely.“Not really,” I responded.She said, “Well, do you remember anything that might help us find the book?”“I think so.” I said, “It has symbols and pictures; it's not written in the English language.” I described it as best as I could.She nodded and continued, “Your description matches a hieroglyphic book. Shouldn't be hard to find.” She move

    Lila's POV I sat on the floor with my legs folded in Morinda's room staring at her as she stared right back at me. It seemed like we were having some kind of staring competition.“Are we going to start already or is this part of the training?” I asked, my voice had a hint of frustration.If I had my way I would totally bail out and avoid being with Morinda alone in her, she's too creepy.She stopped Brian from entering saying it wasn't safe for him. Now she won't even say a word, just standing there and staring at me like there's poop on my face.I squeezed my face in disgust at the unpleasant smell of her incense.“Can you read my thoughts?” She suddenly asked out of the blue.“I'm not interested,” I replied bluntly.I kept wondering what a weak witch like her could teach me but I didn't have a better option. I would have to manage her.She sighed, “I was contemplating where to start, but your mind-reading ability is already advanced. We might just have to skip that for now and focu
