chapter 148 Kora's POV My eyes were widened like the rest of us who watched what happened; I was healed. It felt like it was a spell that he used to make the wounds vanish. His claws were deep in my back, but it appeared as though nothing had happened, and I regained my strength. It felt so good after he did it. "Are you a wizard?" "Like I said, I'm not a wizard, but I know a lot of witches, and this little stuff was learned along the escapades with covens. I just gave you some of my strength, and that was enough to heal your wounds. I'll make a potion later that will return me to my former self." "This is really weird, and this wasn't what I wanted when I chose to attend this school," I divulged, aware that being a Night Watcher was a great task that would aid in the evaluation of leadership. Protecting the students is a great ordeal, and it's not like we're not good at it; this showed that I have a chance at taking down that monster. "Don't forget you get us promoted." "I wou
Chapter 149 Aeson's POV I didn't know how we survived this heat, and this wasn't supposed to happen this way, but we had no choice but to stand against this attack. Cace was bleeding so fast that I was scared he wouldn't make it. If Cace dies, my father would never forgive me because his words were, "Make sure at all times you protect Cace because he's the gifted one among you all, and he's the one that will lead you into the life that you all want." His exact words remain evergreen in my mind. "He's become more powerful; I can feel he's close to getting what he wants. I hope he doesn't find it, but these wounds can always give me memories of any place he attacks. That way, we get to know where he is." "Are you going to bleed out to death and then we find him? What if we're late? Allen, is there something you can do?" "Unless I have my hands on my book. I mean, I have to know what I'll do." "We can't trust you with that," Ras retorts. "And he dies? Have you lost your mind? It
Chapter 150 Kora's POV "I've not been feeling too well lately, and I guess it's because of the sleepless nights that we've been having. I just hope we have time to rest and not lose our minds during the teachings; you and I know how that ends." I heaved a deep sigh as she believed my words. "Yeah, you're right," she conceded, as I shot a dead glare at Martha, knowing that she had to control the way she spoke before everyone found out that I'm pregnant. I don't know why she can't keep her lips sealed about this. She joined her hands behind Amelia's back to apologize for her words. I accepted the apology, but I hoped it would never happen again. She can't be the reason why I won't protect this school; if Lord Lucifer knows I'm pregnant, he would have me protected, and without me, I don't even know if this team can survive an attack. When we arrived at our room, I couldn't deny the empty space we would be having. "Now that they're gone, we have enough space to ourselves." "Why wo
chapter 151 Author's POV "Why would they think of killing Kora after all she has done for us? Come on, just because she's been possessed by Lucas, she would be killed?" Cace thought as he stared at the marks on his back. He was glad that they were healing, but that wasn't what he wanted at this point. "How're you feeling?" "He's good after all. I guess you were right, Alpha Aeson," Allen divulged as she placed her hands on the marks that were just there, but the deep wounds had healed. "He's healed. I'm glad that he's good. I hope they all see that I'm trying to learn my spells because Lucas has a new master, and I can't get back to him if I don't have my spells. He's going to fight me and definitely come for my head. We have to get to the Dark Knight Academy fast because that's where this all started," Allen thought as she rested her arm on Cace's shoulders. "What are your thoughts, Allen?" "I don't mean to be rude, but I was just filled with excitement that Cace has healed a
chapter 152 Author's POV Alpha Cornelius wasn't welcomed in Redwoods, knowing that they had issues with the pack, and it would be a hard tussle to get it all right if he wanted Martha back in his arms. "I would do everything in my power to make sure that I find her and take her home," Alpha Cornelius divulged as he was stopped by the soldiers at the borders. They all had guns filled with wolfsbane. "What do you want, Cornelius?" he asked as the soldiers at the borders had their guns and arrows pointed at Alpha Cornelius and his men. "You dare mention my name without respect," Alpha Cornelius sighed, wearing a smile on his face. He hated the soldier for his disrespectful act. "You're nothing compared to us, Cornelius, and I need you to understand this: I need to know why you're here, or you'll turn and head back to wherever you're coming from," the soldier snapped as he kept his eyes glued to Alpha Cornelius and his soldiers. "Stanley!!!" Alpha Cornelius screamed as soon as he
chapter 153 Ras's POV I don't want to believe that Kora is the one we would be fighting; the thoughts of it were so hard to conceal in my mind. Why would I want to hurt my mate? All this is the handiwork of Allen, and I can't help but want to strangle her to death for being the reason behind this tussle that we're facing. I can't believe it took so long to find her, and now that we have found her, she's the one we’re going to kill. "This is so wrong, and we have to find a way to get what we want without hurting her," I divulged as Cace patted my shoulders while we continued our journey. The village was raided by Lucas, and it's only a matter of time before we get to him. When we have him, I won't let him out of my sight until I take him out of her. "Have you guys ever thought of what would happen if Kora is fighting Lucas inside her?" "That's impossible. If Kora did resist, Lucas would have killed her to prove a point that he cannot be rejected. I tried making him one with me, b
chapter 154 Kora's POV "Why would I have a problem with a bag of problems? I don't want to add to your stress," I divulged, wearing a smile on my face as I wrapped my eyes around her. I couldn't deny Martha was impressed with my choice of words. We all had our spaces for our baths. I was done bathing before everyone. I knew we were going to get there late either way, so I just had to rush my things to get there before them. After dressing, while I was attending to my face, I didn't realize that they both were done dressing. I didn't know how it happened, but whatever they did was fast and very swift. Who knows if they're those rare fast werewolves of our time? "How did that happen?" "Are we leaving, or do we want to talk about something unnecessary?" Amelia asked as I heaved a deep sigh, knowing that she was right, so I had nothing to say. "Let's go," I chuckled as we all went out together, heading straight to the place we were supposed to be twenty minutes ago. "The Protector
chapter 155 Kora's POV "Why don't you come with me to the wastelands and see to it that the walls are built as you envisioned them? You could talk to my Beta because he's the one I charge with what you just said," Xander divulged as he waited for my response. "We'll go, and when the wall is built, we will go in search of Kate and make sure we find her and bring her back to the school," I conceded to his words. "When do you intend to leave?" Lord Lucifer inquired. I could tell that he wanted to know when I would leave so he could prepare. "Immediately. We don't know the fate of Kate, and that puts my mind in jeopardy because I have no choice but to find her and bring her back to this environment where she belongs," I said, wearing a smile on my face as I didn't realize what I really wanted at that point. "Isn't that interesting? I would like to see the face of this lady that you all propose to be Kate. She could be the lady monster that attacked us," Xander just wanted to prove
chapter 170 Author's POV "Don't touch me," she growled in a man-like manner; it felt like she was pissed at that moment. "Just wait a minute. I need to have my moment with Cace. I have my eyes set on this man, Lucas. Let me fulfill my desires," she muttered to herself. "You're not going to have that right. You ought to kill these men and not enjoy pleasures with them. That's your mission, or I'll find a better vessel to possess, and you would be dead afterward because I'll hunt you down," Lucas threatened Kate as she shivered, acting like she was about to fall. Then Cace caught hold of her, carrying her down to the hospital at the left end of the whole premises, a building separated from the hostel and the school buildings as well as the training grounds. "What's wrong with her?" the apprentice asked as I decided to summarize based on their realization. "Seems like she's having a seizure." "Do you mind waiting for us outside?" the apprentice asked as she stopped Cace from going
chapter 169 Alpha Damek's POV "What did you just say?" I couldn't believe that the guard would say those words to me. "You're not a man of your word for killing him, you shouldn't have done that. He gave you what you needed to get the antidote, find his son use that to trade for the antidote and save Alpha Cornelius isn't that the genesis of this war in the first place?" He complained, making it more complictaed. I didn't deny the fact that this was one of the thing i hated, solider standing against my actions making me feel more like a monster. "You won't let your enemy live after what they did to him. How would you make of it if you were the one in his shoes?" I retorted as I approached him. "Way better than going against my own" I didn't let him finish his words, I stabbed him with a dagger, repeatedly hitting his ribs. I cared less about the fear in his eyes of dying, he would die eventually and that won't be a crime would it. Having him by my side would make a lof of compli
chapter 168 Alpha Damek's POV “I don't know why you're here, but you need to leave. We can't let traders into the pack at the brink of war. We don't even know if you're enemies.” “We brought weapons to trade; our pack needs money for food supplies. You have to let us make that trade. We know you all are rich, so let us have what we want, and we'll leave.” I heaved a deep sigh, hoping he would agree to my words and that this would be a fun event that would leave everyone on the edge of happiness. “If your weapons are up to our standards, I'll let you in, but you have only three hours to find a buyer—maybe a blacksmith or a workshop that would buy those. When the deal is made, you take the money and leave.” He finally agreed to my words; it was undoubtedly what I needed to make it happen, and it worked. He went back to the borders, signaling for the gates to be opened. Sixteen guards to take out the whole pack. It's possible since he had twelve guards protecting the pack. I led my
chapter 167 Cace's POV Despite not being able to answer her questions, my mind was wrapped around the thoughts of her question. Even when Martha was being interrogated, I felt like I had committed an offense by not answering her question. I could tell that she was avoiding me since I didn't give her an answer, which is why she's flaunting herself around Levi trying to make me jealous. My mate is Kora, and I would have nothing to do with her. If I wasn't with a mate, I would definitely consider being with her, but I can't say that to your face, Allen; it's almost impossible. “Leave us,” Aeson growled as everyone left, leaving him and Kora behind closed doors. “You can go; Kora will join you later.” “I can't leave her; she saved me, and I'll do the same. I can't leave her with you all in her condition,” Martha divulged as I wondered what condition she was talking about. “Why are you trying so hard so we can't read your thoughts?” I asked, wondering what she would say next. “I've
chapter 166 Alpha Damek's POV The shuttling sounds of the branches, the cold air that almost everyone found hard to breathe. The skies were beautiful, but everyone cared less about the beauty and had their minds wrapped around being in another man's territory, which was dangerous. I can't decipher the genesis of this plan if I don't go in myself, and I can't trust Collins with the army that would come to help us. I don't trust him at all, and I hope my thoughts are not reality because if they are, I would be dead. Death isn't part of the schedule right now because I want to spend my remaining days with Kora, and that would be when she's done with that hellhole named Dark Knight Academy. It's taken her attention so much, and who knows if they've made rules for her not to write letters to me? I haven't heard from her in months, and that suspense is killing me. But the good aspect remains that I sent Cage down there to visit Kora and Martha, and when I return with Stanley's head, I w
chapter 165 Author's POV Ras wondered who his father was as he continued teaching. He didn't want to cause a fuss between himself and her, so he ignored her. When the students departed from the class, Kora was the last to leave. Ras approached her, wearing a smile on his face. "Kora, why are you doing this? You're hurting us, and this isn't fair. Never forget the fact that we're your mates, and we never did anything to hurt you, so you just have to let the witch show you exactly what happened to your parents." "I would never let my decision be based on the verdict of a witch." Kora heaved a deep sigh as she felt like ending the conversation and walking past Ras, but he held her back. He pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips against hers for a deep kiss. "Wow, since your witch plan isn't working, you want to have me seduced. That's weak for the Lycans, don't you think?" Kora chuckled as she broke the kiss, stepping backward. "The kiss was just like before. I misse
chapter 164 Author's POV Three Months Later "It's been two months since I've been avoiding the Lycans; I can't even have a word with them. I hate the fact that they thought they could deceive me by bringing a witch so she could undo what she did. There's no way in hell I would believe that a witch controlled my dreams to make me think that they were the ones who killed my parents," Kora said to herself as she prepared for classes. Martha waited for Amelia to leave so she could discuss things with Kora. "For how long are you going to keep playing these games? You told me that they're your mates, but you're acting like you don't even know them since you woke up. It's more like you hate them," Martha spoke in whispers, knowing that it would be hard for anyone to hear a word that she said, since the door was distant from their position. "They're the ones who killed my parents." "They denied it and even proposed that the witch open your eyes to the truth. Why haven't you agreed t
chapter 163 Cace's POV I wondered why she accused us of killing her parents; it's so hard to tell what she wants to believe now. Even if we get Allen to make her believe our words, she won't accept it. It would be like pouring water on a stone. To an extent, I didn't like the fact that I felt odd watching her relax her head on the bed. I felt like leaving because I wanted to join my brothers. "Hey, what's going on here?" I asked myself as I watched the beds shake vigorously. I could tell it was a panic attack, and it would only mean one thing: she wasn't stable and must have sustained internal injuries that the Healer didn't know about. "You need to leave; I'll take it from here," the Healer divulged, but I couldn't leave. Why would I leave my mate in the hands of someone I didn't trust? I would watch him perform his duties and then leave so I could keep an eye on Kora," I said to myself as he realized that I wasn't going anywhere. He proceeded to stabilize her, and I was glad he
chapter 162 Alpha Damek's POV Lost in my thoughts was all I could achieve through the night, and this wasn't what I wanted. Stanley won't see me coming; that could be the only leverage I have. He's going to think that Alpha Cornelius's Beta would be the one leading the fight, so it would be right that he meets his ideal enemy on the battlefield while I and his men take the Redwoods. A dozen guards would be able to protect the pack. That would be the window we need to take over the pack and return to help Alpha Cornelius's men. It would be an ambush that he won't forget, because if he doesn't give us the antidote, the day he steps into that battlefield will be his last. "I can't wait to let them know that I've found a plan, and it's going to work because it won't be countered. This is my divine move, and I don't know if I can trust Collins to let him in on this," I said to myself as I watched the epic sunrise. I was glad that the curtains were closed; if not for that, I would have
