Dalton looked at the trio, a small smile playing on his lips. He could understand the reason they were being protective of her. He knew they thought he wanted to harm her.He still did not know what came over him. It had been like he was under some kind of spell. One moment he was in his house and the next, he was walking down the path to the crescent moon pack.He wanted to find answers. And here he was, the answer staring at him in the face.He watched her face form into a scowl. "Answer her. What brings you here." The woman from his coven barked at him.But that only put more smiles on his face. He could take on the two women at once. But Claire, he doubted it. The powers within her forced him to avert his gaze. Kendrick must be a fool to think he can take down Claire.Claire was inexperienced in wielding her powers. He could see so from the twitch of her fingers. They twitched like there was a form of electrical energy passing through them. He could only imagine how it would feel
Claire opened her eyes slowly. She was greeted by the sunlight that was streaming into the room. Her head throbbed with such intensity. A low moan escaped her parted lips. She tried to recollect her thoughts. But they came out in a jumbled mess. Sitting up, she liked the room in which she was placed in. It was her room. And it reminded her of Alexander.How long had she been out? Memories of the previous came back slowly. How had she lost consciousness? She remembered Abigail taking her to help with her room. And that was the last she remembered. A voice startled her. "Hello." She jumped out of her skin. Her breaths were coming out in small puffs. Had Kendrick found a way to get to her? But it seemed unlikely. The voice she had heard was that of a female."Show yourself." She mustered up the courage and called out.A small laugh broke through her fears. After a while, she realized the voice was coming from within her. No, it could not be! She could scarcely believe it. It was her wo
Claire looked out of the window. The house was so quiet it was deafening. Since she had gotten her wolf, she could hear more clearly. She was trying to get used to it. But sometimes she forgot about her abilities.She needed some time. She knew Abigail didn't know she had woken up. And she also needed to talk to her about the crystals.She got up from her bed and walked towards the kitchen. She was so hungry. She had forgotten to tell her maid to get her food. And she knew it had escaped her maid also. So she had no choice but to get it herself.She made her way to the kitchen in small steps. It was so long since she had walked these halls without having to think about the dangers that were looming ahead of her. She lived the moment.She remembered the first time she had walked into the pack. She was stupefied. It was like a dream come true working for one of the most prestigious packs. It had been brimming with activities. But now, the pack looked lifeless with all the men and young
Kendrick paced in his room. He could not understand what was going on. He had gone to see Dalton only to find his room locked.Somehow, he wasn't able to get into Claire's dream the day before. Something was blocking him. And he wanted to find out which. Time was no longer at his side. The day of the prophecy was getting closer with each passing second and he didn't want to meet the day unprepared. His castle was so quiet. He didn't like the silence that enveloped it. It made his skin cringe. He left his room and made his way to a large hall where most witches of the cover usually stay to practice magic.He met some witches practicing magic. As soon as they saw him, they stopped what they were doing immediately. Fear reflected in their eyes. He liked what he saw. Yes. They all should fear him.He wasn't something they could relax around. An eerie smile made his way to his lips. He looked closely, looking for a person. But the more he looked, the angrier he became. He could not find t
The girl had turned into a crying mess on the floor. She didn't know what had come over her. She held the older girl for support but was surprised by what she saw. She was crying.She had believed her to be a strong girl. But her thoughts changed rapidly at that moment. She was so scared she could not stop the hiccups that were escaping her. A look from Kendrick got her to put her hands over her mouth to stifle the sound but they came out irrespective of what she did.She cursed herself at that moment from the moon and back. Why was she so soft? A little stare from the king had got her into a crying mess. Although her senior was also crying she did it silently, one would not know unless they looked closer.Her position on the floor was embarrassing. With great difficulty, she stood to her feet. She wobbled on rubber legs. She put a hand on the other girl's shoulder but she shrugged it off.She knew the reason she did that. She was to blame for their predicament. What they were talking
Claire lounged in the chair. It was comfy. Her eyes began to shut close. Susan stuck to her word. She hadn't offered her any food. It wasn't like she would have eaten. But just for the sake of courtesy. She turned in her chair in boredom. She had nothing to do except to stare out of the window. The house which was given to them by Alexander was cozy and small for two People.It was well furnished. The chairs had a green colour which was the same colour as the curtains. A fireplace was burning with coal on the right side. On the left, was a bookshelf which contained only two books Intrigued, Claire went closer to the shelf to examine the books. They looked familiar to her. But she could not remember where she had seen it before.Like a light bulb that went off in her head, Claire remembered where she had seen it. Alexander had a copy in his library. It was exactly the same. She had seen it in his office also.Thinking about it now, the book was something that she needed to know the c
One of the crystals Claire talked about were found in her coven. It was with Kendrick to be precise. And the other which Claire had held, she had no idea where it was. But since Claire said it was with her, it means it's in the pack.She looked at Claire. Her eyes shone. "It's with Kendrick." Abigail finally said looking sad. "I understand you might want to go there to retrieve it. But that'll be leading you into the Lion's den. And I wouldn't let you. None of us will. We can do the remaining two."Claire could not think. What would the moon goddess give her such a daunting task. It was cruel. She wanted to yell at the universe, telling them she was tired. She just wanted to fall into a deep sleep and only wake up when the war is over.War was inevitable. She knew. But she hoped in her heart it wouldn't come to that. If she had to choose, she'd choose to give the task to someone else.She slowly came out from her day dream and considered what Abigail said. " What about the other cryst
Soft sunlight made its way into the room where Claire was asleep. She squinted her eyes at the sunlight. Groaning, she checked the time and found out it was still quite early. Wanting to go back to sleep, a knock on the door stopped her.She didn't have to check who it was. It was her maid who came to get her dressed for the trip with Abigail and other witches. Claire gasped. She forgot to take the necklace from Abigail the day before. It was frightening. And the more frightening part, she could not remember her dream. It all seemed blank.What happened? Did Kendrick manage to take her powers? With a thumping heart and shaky legs, Claire stood up from the bed and walked towards the window where a potted plant was kept. She didn't mind that she looked like someone who had crawled from the depths of hell. Her hair looked like it was played with by birds.She took deep calming breaths as she stood in front of the pot. Please don't let her fears be true. She raised her hands and command
"No" Claire shouted as light burst forth from her. The chains on her hands broke away. And she stood up from the slab in a whirl of light and wind.A look of shock was plastered on Kendrick's face. The room was enveloped in darkness. But Kendrick soon came out from his shock.His lips moved, changing spells, the crystals brought out a warm orange hue. He walked over to them, placing a hand on each of them. They shone with so much brightness, driving out the darkness. It combined together, a bright light bursting forth.Kendrick directed the light at Claire, who was above the ground with eyes, glowing red. The light came at her with full force. It hit her directly in her chest and she fell to the ground unconscious. "Now, I can do what I have in peace." An eerie smile covered Kendrick's face.********"What took you so long?" Nicklaus asked Aiden as he emerged from the door, holding a slumped Isabelle in his hands. Some guards were patrolling outside, looking for a hint that gave aw
"We have her sir." A soldier reported through the mind link. Aiden clenched his fists as anger radiated off his eyes. He was in kill mode. The thought of being dead by Alexander because of Isabelle made him want to rip her to shreds.He said through clenched teeth. "Coming over. Is anything with her?""Apparently not sir." Aiden furrowed his eyebrows as all eyes turned to him in the car. He had not followed them in the pack run through the forest. His role was to stay back. And go with other guards.He told Alexander of his finding through the link. He had not said all of it, before he was cut short. He gulped in fear. The waves of anger that were directed at him, made him so. The link was flowing with so much negativity, he feared he would be dead, before he knew what hit him.He got to the clearing where Isabelle was being held. She was blindfolded. She felt his presence and began to squirm, soaking the cloth around her eyes with her tears."Where is your lover boy?" Aiden asked w
Mia stormed into Alexander's office. Her eyes canned the room, before it landed on Alexander. He was seated on his chair, facing the window."Abigail called." She said once she entered the room.He swiveled in his chair. "Called?" A furrow came between his brows. "Yes, she called and got it me." She said, as she sat on the chair.Alexander's brows deepened. "I don't understand. How did she get to you?"Mia waved her hands in the air. She didn't know how to explain. "It has got something to do with magic."Alexander stood up at once. "Is Claire with them? Is she okay?" The look on Mia's face made him stop. He began pacing in the room. "Say something!" The silence was killing him.A look crossed Mia's face. It was a look of bewilderment. The day before, Alexander had stopped all search for Claire. Why was he so worked up again?"She…they are in the junction." She said.Alexander raised a brow at her. She sighed. How was she to tell him? But she did anyway. "Claire isn't with them."Fu
Claire watched. She could hardly contain her breathing as they came out in rapid breaths. She could not understand what was going on. She followed the masked man deeper into the forest. More than once, she tried to use her powers but something was blocking her off. And whenever she turned to do so, she felt a searing pain at the base of her neck."Stay here. I will be back." The man said, leaving her alone in the middle of nowhere.Now was the chance to do what she wanted to do. She tried calling Mia one more time but it did not go through.Before she went to the village, she had a conversation with Mia. The conversation was about how to reach her in case something like this happened. And she was right to think something like that.Abigail had taught her something like that. And as she looked at the dense trees around her, she was grateful for that.Scrunching footsteps could be heard and the man was back once again. She wondered why he had not blindfolded her again. Perhaps it was b
Isabella has to talk to Kendrick soon so she made up an excuse so she would be able to travel.Alexander didn’t really care where she went anymore so that was her opportunity. Kendrick would not be able to come in because of the force that would deny her entrance so Isabella has to travel out.She took no escorts or guards and went by herself,it was something she regarded to be very important to her so she wasn’t going to let it just slip.Soon she arrived at the outskirts where she could finally be able to see Kendrick,where the forces would have no effect on him.“Long time no see, I still don’t see what you want to see me about. You must be really brave to walk into my territory,I must say you have a lot of bravery but go on speak.” Kendrick said upon seeing her walk towards her.His eyes were as cold as the winter, and to include they were not welcoming at all.Isabella who was really terrified as the sky was pitch black here and she has never seen anything like that before.She g
Two men walked towards Claire and untied her.She felt so relieved to be free from such pain, the ropes already dubbed into her skin and it was quite painful.Still she shows no emotions on her face as her face was as cold as a shell.She stared at the masked man with a very infuriated look and an intimidating look got to him but when she saw what he had installed for her she would then change her perspective.She was finally taken out of the room and wondered what he was planning to do with her.“So what are you going to do with me now?” She inquired again.Her Motive was to taunt the hell out of the masked man. If only he knew who he was messing with.“I told you I would be the one asking the questions here and not you,I don’t think you value your head because if you do you won’t be messing with me in such a manner.” He said already getting annoyed at her.To her own pleasure,she smiled all the way as she was finally taken out of the room.“Why exactly are you happy?” He asked, alre
It has been quite a while since Claire has been tied down, she didn’t try to free herself through forgetting so she doesn’t hurt herself.She still could not do anything because she didn't know which people took her.She had to be very careful and lately she has been very insecure about her powers and she started feeling she was not strong until she got all the crystals she needed.Till then before she thought she would be as strong as her potentials could take her. She knew once she was done with hee quest she would be extremely powerful and be able to do all she ever wanted.Claire looked around and sighed.She wondered what her group mates would be doing by now. She hoped Benard was smart enough to know that coming back to save her was not a right option.It would just delay them, all she wants is for them to continue looking for the crystal and the person who took it.“I wonder how he is going to deal with Khloe and Abigail but I just wish him good luck. And I know they should kno
“Both of you should just give yourself some time to cool off, especially now. You both are angry and frustrated but you don’t need to take it out on one another." Bernard said, looking at both women.Khloe huffed off, clearly frustrated. And Abigail pretended like she didn't hear a thing. She couldn't believe this. That she could behave this way. But her anger had risen up a notch, towards Khloe."Just stay away from each other for some time and that should help. If you want me to intervene in this at all you are going to have to listen." Bernard said agan, when he received no response. "I hate dealing with women." He muttered under his breath.He said In a very plain tone but his face was still as cold as ever.He was not showing a single expression on his face, he looked so calm but also tired and annoyed no matter how much he tried to hide it.I just don’t know why we got into this in the first place .” Benald said in frustration.“Like we don’t know who brought such misery upon us
It has been five days since the last meeting Alexander held with the council members.Everyone had been on their toes ever since the last incident because they knew the type of person Alexander could be whenever he was angry and upset.And it was very obvious he was very upset about the Luna missing.Alexander was not satisfied with the turn ups, so he decided to stop the whole thing because it was not going to head anywhere anyways.Alexander called for Nicklaus, his Gamma and also his soon to be brother in law. Gamma woke up some days ago and was back to his feet.Alexander had been very busy these past few days because he had a lot of things you had to do because of the disappearance so he was the one that was kept in charge of sending out the soldiers to look for Claire.“Yes, you called for me.” Nicklaus said walking into the garden to meet Alexander who looked really disturbed.“Does anything matter? You look so disturbed and have a lot on your mind.” He asked Alexander who had
