"Oh, coven, just end me instead." She dipped herself into the tub further, hiding from him. Deuce only came to take something and head back outside without acknowledging her. "Did he see me? I hope he doesn't; why can't a girl have her privacy?" Elise sighed and quickly got out of the tub nakedly. She used her hands to shield her breast as she went towards the towel hanger beside a safe and quickly wrapped it around her wet body. "Who keeps a safe inside the bathroom? Everything about that wolf is strange." After some minutes, she was dressed in the green flowing corset gown brought earlier by Chloe. Her knee-length hair was packed into a bun and held in place with pins. She takes a look at herself in the mirror beside the bookshelf," If I ever get out of this place, I'm taking this dress with me. Take a look at this part, Sophi.." She looked around, realizing she was alone in this dangerous den. She sighed heavily and a bird flew in through the window, landing right on her
Deuce chuckled slightly. "Is this about your childhood doll, Anna, or the way he looks at you?" Chloe shot a dead glare towards him, and Deuce raised his hands in surrender. "Fine, I'll tell him to show you affection." He smirked Chloe stood up from the lying position on the couch "Say that again, and the rule of not killing one's blood will be broken." Deuce slowly looks away from her. Chloe is kind and sweet, but deadly traits live in her. The traits live in both of them and no doubt they inherit it from their late mom. Chloe hissed and got back to lying on the couch. Bruno was stopped by Lucas as he wanted to enter Deuce's office. "He's in with someone else." Lucas was angry, and his voice didn't hide it. "Who?" Bruno was curious about who the visitor was and that Lucas was considered a third party. When he saw Lucas didn't reply to him, he sighed and stood beside him. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Lucas. He collected it without
"Don't leave me, I need you," Elise mumbled in her sleep and held Deuce's leg tight. He rolled his eyes and picked her up. As he lay her on the bed, her gown lifted, and her thighs revealed. He quickly turned his head around and pulled the duvet on her without looking. Elise then hummed in her sleep and shifted on the bed. Deuce looked at her again. Her hair was messy as she had let it down, and it made it difficult to see her face. "It's a pity you have to die." He stuck her hair behind her ear, and when Elise turned in his direction, he felt his heart stop for a minute. "She looks more beautiful when she's asleep." He returned to moving her hair from her face. Suddenly, Elise held his hands and snuggled it. He quickly withdrew his hands and stood up from the edge of the bed. "I should go to bed." "Yes, I should." He took a pillow and walked to the couch to sleep. In the Ravian coven, Gabrielle kept thinking about the spy amidst them. Who could it be, and since when has th
What are you hiding? Gabrielle is now in front of her while Eve stammers. She quickly bent down and started apologizing. " Forgive me, your Highness; it was merely because of your safety." "My safety? What does my hair comb have to do with me being safe?" Gabrielle's voice was cool as she looked at Eve for answers. "I...I just need your hair for the medication Queen Amaya told me." She quickly said while stammering, still on her knees. Gabrielle then thought for a while before leaving her side. "You could have said that. No need for you to stammer. You can go." Just as Eve's hand was about to twist the doorknob, Gabriel's voice stopped her. "Drop the brush by the table." "Yes, Your Highness." Eve then went out. "Something isn't right. Why were her nails red? She's a white witch, and her fingers have never changed their color from white." She wondered for some minutes before she later concluded she might have painted them. Ava, the youngest witch came out of Eve's roo
"Did you just call me trash?" Monica glared hard and she landed a slap on Chloe's cheek. "Next time, you should mind your business, or else you'll end up just like your parents. We all know you're an orphan, and they must be classless just like you are." She moved forward to Chloe, whose hand was folded into a fist. " Do yourself a favor and stay out of my way." Monica hissed and walked away with her minions. Everyone was looking at Chloe with pity but they all feared Monica. Chloe's eyes weren't watery and her face remained calm like Elise and everyone in the hallway had imagined. She looked at Olive and wiped away her tears "Don't worry, she can't do anything. She's just a girl that loves everything to revolve around her." "Thank you, Chloe" Olive said amid her tears Elise, standing in a corner watching the scene, felt sorry for Chloe. She didn't know she was an orphan. According to Gabrielle, her mom died when she was born, so she doesn't know what she looks like. Thanks to t
Elise had always felt like an outsider in her own life. She had a strange, unexplainable energy building inside her, and she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. That night, at the Moonlight Masquerade, Élise wore a stunning red gown and a mask that shimmered like diamonds. She danced and laughed with her friend Sophie, feeling carefree for the first time in weeks. It's also the night the ancient witches choose the heir to the covens and also bestowed the witch the first three wiccan covens. As the night wore on, Elise felt a strange, unsettling energy building inside her. She tried to shake it off, but it only grew stronger. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure stood alone, his eyes scanning the crowd with an intensity that made people shiver. He was searching for something, or someone. I think I've had enough for tonight. Let's get out of here. Elise said looking around her surrounding Elise, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost. Sophie who was
Elise regained consciousness, she found herself in a cozy, dimly lit room, surrounded by strange artifacts and the soothing scent of herbs. Her aunt, the queen of the witches since there's not yet a leader of the coven ever since Elise mother died. She sat beside her, gently stroking her hair. "Welcome back, dear one," Gabrielle whispered. "You've been through a lot. But you're safe now." She tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over her. Her aunt helped her lie back down, offering her a warm, comforting smile. "What happened?" she asked, trying to piece together the fragmented memories. "You were attacked by a dark entity," her aunt explained. "But don't worry, I've cast protective spells around us. You're safe here." She felt a surge of fear. "What does it want from me?" Her aunt's expression turned serious. "It wants your power, dear one. You have been bestowed a special gift, one that many would love to possess. But don't worry, I'll teach you how to control
Elise laughed as she and Sophie tried on silly hats at the market stall. They had spent the day shopping and gossiping, enjoying each other's company. As they admired their reflections, Elise didn't notice the pair of piercing eyes watching her from across the way. Lucas, the beta, had been tracking Elise for weeks, following the faint hum of magic that only the compass could detect. He had finally found her, and his eyes narrowed as he took in her carefree smile. As Sophie and Elise continued their shopping spree, he kept a safe distance, his eyes never leaving Elise. He waited for the perfect moment to strike. That moment came when Sophie exclaimed, "Oh no, my new dress! It's been stolen!" A thief, conveniently appearing out of nowhere, had snatched the bag from Sophie's hands. In the chaos that followed, Sophie bid Elise farewell, leaving her alone. Lucas saw his chance. He unwrapped a small leaf, filled with a blue powder, and blocked his nose with his shirt. The uncon
