CHAPTER EIGHT: LOCKED IN

SHEILA’S POINT OF VIEW

“Alec told me everything! You have both been fucking! Sheila how dare you?! How dare you lie to me?” Alexandro said, he looks angry, really furious. For the first time since being with him, I fear for my life, I have never seen him this angry before.

“My love.” I said trying my best to pacify him, I looked into his eye, I held on to him but he pushed me away. What? Why is this happening? Why is this happening?

“Don’t you ever touch me again.” He yelled. What did Alec tell him! How come he believes Alec instead of me! This has never happened before.

“I just want to know one thing, why Sheila? Why did you pretend to love me when you have been cheating on me with my own brother all this time?” Alexandro asked, his eyes blazing with anger and resentment.

I said nothing.

“I did not cheat on you, I would never cheat on you my love.” I said doing my best to act hurt that he would ever think I would do something like that.

I pretended to tear up, he did not seem moved by this, how?!

“Tomorrow you are to leave here and never return, I don’t want to ever see you again.” Alexandro said, he looked away from me.

What! No! This has never happened! I cannot let it happen.

“Levetante harbano.” I said speaking in the ancient language of witches.

Alexandro paused, he step halted in his track, no one is supposed to use magic in the quarters but I do not care.

I have come this far and I cannot let him ruin my plan, I cannot let Alexandro continue terrorizing my kind, I am the witch who is going to restore silver lake to its rightful owners, the witches.

I have watched Alexandro kill my people for years now, I have watched them burn up in flame, I saw my own mother die in his hands, it cannot continue for long, I have to take out this tyrant, even if it’s the last thing I do, I have to make silver lake safe for witches like me again and no body is going to stop me. Nobody is going to stop me from taking my revenge on Alexandro for ending my mother’s life in such a dishonorable way when I was thirteen, nobody is going to stop me from avenging the lives of all the witches Alexandro has killed.

“Harazo echshi.” I casted a spell to make him weaker. That can be a lot painful but he is a big boy I’m sure he can handle it.

“What the fuck did you do to me?” Alexandro asked as he held his head in pain, his speech is starting to get slurry, his strength is starting to get smaller and smaller soon he will be like play doh in my hands.

I start walking to where he is standing.

“What did you do to me Sheila?” He asked, his voice sounds very weak now.

“Sh sh sh, my love, I’m just trying to make you mine again.” I said with a smile on my face. I walked to where he was standing and he fell to my feet weakly.

Weak werewolves, it baffles me how they were able to take over silver lake from us, not to worry with the blood moon arriving soon and all the preparation our coven has made silver lake will be ours again pretty soon.

I place my palm on his head.

“Memorio est teribero.” I said, again casting a spell in the language only known to witches and soccorers.

His eyes slowly close, I left him right there on the ground and went to lay on the bed.

The last thing he is going to remember when he wakes up is choosing me over Valencia, he will not remember what happened with Alec and I, He will not remember whatever Alec told him. And as for Alec he is going to be so sorry for betraying my trust the way he did…

***

“Do you really have to go with her?” I said when he woke up from his magic induced slumber.

He is on the bed next to me now, with the assistance of my slave girl Carrie I was able to get him to the bed.

Carrie has been my slave girl since… well since I became Alexandro’s lover, since I became the mistress of the quarter, she knows not to ask questions, she knows that all she has to do is to follow orders so when I told her to help me get Alexandro to the bed she asked no questions and just did as she was asked.

“I don’t remember falling asleep.” Alexandro said confused.

“You were tired so I let you sleep.” I replied and before he could say anything else I planted a kiss on his lips, he did not hold back we started kissing, his hand slid down my bare back, his tongue moved over mine, I moan in satisfaction.

“I really don’t want you to go, two days is a long time for me to be away from you.” I said when he pulled away from kissing me.

“Then let’s make the best of our time together,” he said and then we slid under the covers, my hair sprayed around the pillow, my eyes met his as, he was leaning above me, he supported his weight with his arm.

He stared into my eyes, I was starting to feel a bit self conscious and then he finally spoke.

“Your eyes are so beautiful.” He said smiling down at me.

I have to remind myself constantly not to fall for Alexandro, I have to remind myself just how much of a tyrant he is, I have to remind myself that I should hate him for what he does to the witches, I have to remind myself that it’s Alec I love not Alexandro, that I would never love Alexandro because of he killed my mother. I have to remind myself all these things but sometimes it’s really hard not to feel something for him, he just says things, just does things that makes me to just want to give in but I know I wouldn’t… I know I shouldn’t, he is my enemy and I’m going to be the cause of his death. That’s just how it has to be.

I kissed him again to keep from having to say anything back to him. The night continued, Alpha Alexandro presence in my bedchamber gave me the pleasure that I knew it would, the night was pleasurable but it ended with me being unable to sleep, it ended with me staring at a sleeping Alexandro and imagining Alec there, it ended with me feeling guilty for sleeping with Alexandro, it ended the same way it always does. Me wishing that Alexandro would die and Alec would be made the Alpha and I would be his Luna.

ALEXANDRO’S POINT OF VIEW

Tonight is the night that I am to be confined in a private place with Valencia, it is going to be for the next two day.

I looked down at Valencia, she is still really weak she can hardly move, she is in my arms in a long white gown, we are at the mouth of the cave where we would be staying in for the next two days, I don’t know if we would make it out of this alive but I don’t really believe I can ever die, it’s been a long time since I last believed in death, I have watched empires rise and fall, I have watched kings kill and get killed, I saw the Stone Age morph into the computer age and I’m still here.

I’m not scared of death, I’m more scared of being alone with Valencia for the next two days. I would never admit it to anyone but when I heart stopped beating that is when I realized that I actually feel something for her, I do not want this feeling but I cannot stop it.

I thought of her all the while I was with Sheila earlier.

We get into the cave. Valencia and I. The entrance to the cave is shut from the outside.

I look down at Valencia. She opens her eyes slowly, weakly.

“I love you Alexandro.” She said and then go back to her semi-conscious state.

I don’t want to but… my heart feels the same way as she does.

SHEILA’S POINT OF VIEW

“Gather the witches together, we have to make sure they don’t make it out of there alive.” I said to Donovan.

“Yes mistress.” She replied…
