“That can’t be!” Samantha whispered “I’m sure it’s only a coincidence.” Raymond replied. “Only a coincidence? You just heard her say this person is the one responsible for the wards. How can it be a mere coincidence?” Samantha asked Ross and Fay exchanged confused look. “What are you both talking about?” Ross asked “The High warlock name is Isabella.” Samantha revealed Ross raised his brow in question, “I could have sworn it is Valentine.” He joked. “No time for jokes. Ross this is not the time for jokes.” Raymond scolded Ross raised his hands playfully to signify surrender, “Fine. Raymond why is this a coincidence and Samantha why do you think it’s not?” Ross asked. “Isabella was killed by Valentine the same day she gave birth to her baby. My mother was there, she saw her create a portal and send her parrabutai to another realm with her baby. My mother was her handmaiden at the time and fled just when Valentine drove his dagger into Isabella’s chest.l, But Isabella is the tr
Sarah stared at Isabella unable to make up words. She didn’t understand what was going on. When did Fay get so close to Valentine and how did she get access into the dungeons? “What is wrong?” Isabella asked Sarah blinked out of her daze. “Fay was here?” She asked “I’m sure she introduced herself as Fay.” Isabella nodded “How is this possible? What else did she say?” She asked “She asked if I was the one responsible for the wards. Then she promised she would find a way to get me out of here. She sounded just like you.” Isabella explained “Okay. If she promised to get you out that means that she is still working with the resistance. I haven’t met with any of them since I eavesdropped on Valentine.” Sarah explained “Alright. So it’s possible that she working on their directives. Why not find a way to talk to her.” Isabella suggested. Sarah nodded “Right. Anyway here’s your food.” She replied and took the tray to the bed. Isabell thanked her before digging into her plate of wa
When valentine walked into the bathroom he just wanted to make sure it was Fay there and not a spy. But when he walked in and saw how she earnestly leathered soap on her pale skin he stared. He couldn’t help it. She was a few feet away in the bath tub. Her head up, slightly tilted as she washed her neck. Her hair was as dark as the raven kneaded together in their wet nature. The hair around her face was in disarray and flowed beyond her shoulders. The mixture of soap and water flowed through her body giving it a good contrast. He was used to his women fragile and always ready to please him. But this woman was not fragile neither was she ready to please him at all time. The way she acts with him gave him the sense of loss of control and power. He had no control over her in the bedroom. Though she was small he got the impression that she wouldn’t relent. Perhaps it was her face with its full, unpainted mouth and high, slashing cheekbones. Her eyes were almost as dark as her hair, he
“Do I have to need something to I seek your company?” He asked, “You shouldn’t be seeking me out. Don’t you men have something to talk about?” She asked “The big bad Alpha is a little edgy today. He’s not much of a company. His beta doesn’t look like he will be leaving his mate’s side anytime soon and I hate more than anything to be a third wheel.” He chuckled “You can do something else.” Eugenia scowled “Like what? Go for a run? The sun is scorching. Go for a swim? I did that already. What else do you want me to do to get me away from you?” He asked Eugenia lifted her eyes but looked away. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” She mumbled. “Stop chasing me away. Genia.” He replied “It’s Eugenia. I’ve told you that.” She cursed. The way her name rolled out of his mouth made her heart flutter. “Are we back to that now? Are we back to arguing about what I call you? You call me Vlad so I prefer to call you Genia.” He replied resisting the urge to laugh. He found her scowl c
The day went by in slow motion almost too painful for Audrey. She waited till Alex told her it was time. They both walked into the woods. As they walked through the woods, Audrey felt a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. When they arrived at the meeting spot, she saw Anna standing with just one guard. Audrey was surprised, she would have expected Anna to come here with a dozen guards and foot soldiers, but she was glad she wouldn't have much obstacles. Anna seemed equally taken aback. "What is she doing here?" Anna asked Alex, her eyes narrowing. "Don't worry, Anna. Audrey means no harm," Alex reassured her. "She just wants to talk." Audrey swallowed the curse that was in her lips. She needs to play this cool. She forced a smile on her face. The pressure on her sleeves reminded her of the dagger hidden there. "Hi Anna. You do not look to happy to see me." She stated. "I don't see why I should. I also do not see why you would ask to see me." Anna responded. Audrey took a s
The pain Alex felt was excruciating as it tore through his chest. He blinked rapidly in his attempt to clear the fog that was forming in his eyes. “I- I have always known you were leading me on. But- But I thought-“ he paused and struggled to breathe. Clutching his chest he continued. “I love you Audrey. I really do. I coul- cou- could go through fire for you.” He stated Audrey almost felt pity for him but remembering how he wanted her friends dead got her all angry again. She twisted the dagger even deeper. “You agreed to let my friends die. That alone is offense enough.” She stated The poison in the dagger has spread around his body. He writhed in pain before he took his last breath still looking at Audrey like a love struck puppy. Audrey squat down to confirm he was no longer breathing. She sighed in relief and took a few steps back before turning and taking to her heels. ======= Hercules sat in the Cottage in anxiety. Martin had talked him out of shadowing Audrey. They conv
Eugenia explained, "It's rare, but it has been documented in history. There are some legends that suggest that the union of a werewolf and a warlock can result in a child that has both sets of powers." Audrey was trying to process this new information. The idea that she could be so powerful was both exhilarating and terrifying. She didn't know how to feel about it. Hercules put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Whatever happens, we're here for you. We'll help you figure this out together." ====== The following morning Hercules sat outside watching as Audrey practiced. he watched how she swerved her sword with ease and hit at her opponent; a stack of hay severally with the sword. He noticed her attacking without calculating which made the sword fall from her hands. As she picked up her sword, Hercules watched her with concern. He could sense her frustration and confusion. He walked up to her and said, "Audrey, you don't have to figure everything out right now. Just focus on wha
Bradley sat in the meeting with the elders, but his mind kept drifting to thoughts of his mate. He attempted to reach out to her through their mind link, but there was only emptiness on the other end. As the elders discussed important matters, Bradley's distraction became increasingly apparent. "Bradley, is everything alright?" one of the elders asked, noticing his lack of focus. But Bradley was too consumed by his thoughts to answer. He stood up abruptly, pushing his chair back, and announced, "I need to leave." The elders were taken aback by his sudden outburst. "But Bradley, we're not finished yet," another elder said, trying to reason with him. But Bradley was already heading towards the door. "I'm sorry, but I have to go," he said as he exited the room, leaving the elders behind in confusion. Bradley hurried to Octavia's room, knowing that she was the only one who could help him with his problem. Octavia was a powerful witch, and he trusted her implicitly. As soon as he enter
