Lucian.It was night time when I dismissed Louis from my office. We figured that the only way we could get an upper hand is finding Logan's hideout. We could defeat them from inside out, that way.We decided to begin the search the next day. It was very late and the Pack house was as quiet as a graveyard. Everyone had trained all day so they must be stressed out and tired. I restrained myself from going to my room.I did not want to see Hazel and worst still, hear her try to make me marry Cassie. It hurt me to even think that she really wanted me to marry Cassie. Does she really not love me? I take to the couch in my office while my mind roamed with different thoughts.I would do all I can to find Logan's hideout tomorrow. It is the only way I can assure the Pack members because even if Hazel wants, I will not marry Cassie and no one can change my mind on that.I sleep off on the couch only to be awaken by a sharp pain that coursed through my chest, squeezing my heart so that it was d
Alicia.As a sister to Logan I do not support his and my mother's evil ways. I have never. All I've ever wanted is to be happy. I did not want power or even wealth. As a witch, everyone naturally assumes that we're the bad ones. I do not blame them, most witches actually use their powers for selfish things like my mother.She is power-hungry and would do anything to get that power. Luckily, she's a witch and a very good one at that which also means she could do whatever with her spells. It is very hard for a werewolf to get their hands on a witch and for this reason, Lucian did not hesitate to kill my mother many years back.She had killed his mother for reasons best known to her however when Lucian found out he did not stop until he found her and killed her on the spot, leading to his enmity with Logan who has thirsted for revenge ever since.And now here I am, against my own wish, impersonating Hazel and kissing her husband. I had no idea how we got to the bed but I knew that that I
Alicia.I run out of the Pack house against the wishes of the maids that Lucian had strictly assigned to be with me. It was easy for them to miss me as the fight was intense and every place was in disarray. Some of the humans were scurrying about for a hiding spot while others proved to be courageous and fought against Logan's troupes who were piling into the the gate in their numbers.I stood at the middle of the house and shut my eyes, my arms spread out against the gate as I whispered some chants.Many years back I was forced to learn some spells. I never wanted to be a witch but I had no choice. My mother wanted me to be just like her- surreptitious, vicious and cunning. So she taught me a lot of spells that she herself had invoked and I'd read multiple books to help in my enchantment.However I never used my powers. In fact, my mother and brother saw me as worthless. To them, I could only cast simple spells and nothing more. I prefer to endure all of the pain and treatment than
Lucian.We spent the entire day searching the city and while we found most of the Packs, we did not find Logan. It got me thinking, Logan is here in the human world yet we've searched the entire place and still couldn't find him."Since he's risen his mother, do you think she could have casted a spell on them that would make them invincible or at least, unable to be seen?" suggested Louis as we returned to the Pack house."Or, perhaps they're not just here anymore," said Henry, "I think they're not here and they're trying to make us believe that they are, to catch us off guard."I shook my head, "It's impossible. How would you explain the constant attacks if you say they're not here?"Henry went mute and then I turned to Louis."You've a point, Louis but I think if that were the case they could have easily gained their victory, fight us while being invincible instead of prolonging it this way."After a moment of silence, I say, "Except their trying to deceive me." We soon arrived at
Lucian.I could not believe what I heard.'A witch?!' screamed Rio."What do you mean a witch's blood?" I demand, repeating her words, "My mate is not a witch. She's human. You must be highly mistaken, Mima."However she shook her head and remained firm on her words, "I won't make a mistake over something this crucial, Lycan. It's the reason the examination took up to an hour. At first I couldn't believe it as well so I had to run multiple check on it and I confirmed that the blood is not a human's, it's a witch's."I move a step backwards as I run a hand through my hair.'Is this the reason we can't smell her? She didn't want us to mark her as well.' Rio said to me.I lapsed into deep thoughts and completely forgot that Mima was standing there."I'm sorry, you can leave," I say to her when I regained myself and then added, "Don't tell her anything about this, okay? No one else must know this except you and I."She nods, "Yes, Lycan." and then closes the door behind her. I take to my
Alicia. After the Pack healer examined me she declared that everything is fine. I waited for Lucian thinking he would take me back to the room himself however Mima told me not to so I quietly returned to the room. I turned and tossed on the bed trying to sleep but I could not. Fed up, I walk over to the closet and pick out my book of spells where I'd jotted down some of what I created myself without the knowledge of anyone. I sat down on the bed and went through them when I came across one that I'd long crafted myself but never worked on it. It was one that could rid a witch of her powers. This came from the depth of pain I received when my mother burnt my favorite doll in front of me. At just five years of age, I failed to pass the witch test which got my mother upset. She took out all of my toys and burnt them all however none hurt as much as my favorite doll. It was the only surviving gift I had from my late father and she destroyed it. As I wept in my closet I vowed
Hazel.It was like a punch in my stomach as I heard Henry's words. Although I had wanted Lucian to marry Cassie, it was only because I wanted to ensure the safety of my family. Now that Alicia has taken my place, I did not want Cassie with Lucian."Why are you wasting your time with someone who does not love you?" Logan snapped me out of my thoughts, "He cannot even detect that you are no longer with him."He gave a demeaning laughter and Henry joined too. I felt hurt and did not know how to react to this piece of news. I watched Logan bend to pick up the dress which he pressed forcefully into my hands.He said, "Be good or I might just have to make you learn the hard way." After a long look at us, they turned away not forgetting to lock the door behind them. Kelly held my arm."What will you do now?" she asked and I just sank on the bed forlornly with no idea what do. : : : LucianI had told Hazel that I'll be marrying Cassie just to see her reaction. I wanted to be sure that I w
Alicia I gasped when I heard Lucian's orders. I immediately held his arm. "No, Lucian you can't put him in the dungeon!" but he shook my hands off him and turned to the guards. "I shouldn't repeat myself," The guards grabbed Henry roughly and began to pull him away. I saw the look of revenge in Henry's eyes and I feared for the worst. Since Henry is Logan's ally in getting feedback on Lucian's Pack, doom is incoming with Henry arrested. "And you," Lucian broke me out of my thoughts, "If you don't start speaking I will throw you into the dungeon as well!" I began to tremble, what do I do? "Speak, Hazel!" he growled making me panic even more. "You and my beta have been working behind me, haven't you?" he spoke lowly as he took short steps towards me and I continued to back away. "Are you in love with Henry? Is this the reason you will not let me mark you?" "None of what you're saying is true!" I reply, still edging away, I wasn't far away from the wall now and my heartbeat inc
