Devon caressed His mate’s face as she slept peacefully, after the whole drama earlier. The sound of her relaxed heartbeat gave him solace. Messy waves of dark, shiny hair surrounded his chiseled face, as he stared at her...He mind-linked his Beta after a while to find out about lilac.[Have you found lilac?] lucas responded to the mind link from his Alpha Supreme immediately.[Yes Alpha, she is in the garden][How is she?][She looks fine, but I think she is still a little shaken up, she said she wanted to be alone.][She will be fine][You can stop looking for Ash now. He is probably long gone already][There is only one person that would know of his whereabouts now Lucas, Hazel]Lucas halted in his steps, which almost caused Kace to bump into him.[Hazel!] [Yes, Hazel. We need to find her.] [But Devon… I don’t think that’s a good idea. She would probably not want to see you.]Devon stared at his mate beside him, with worry lines visible on his face. Devon was ready to do anything
Lilac stood in Devon’s house garden, with no blank expression on her face. She was deep in thought about what she heard earlier. She had no idea why ‘Ash’ would try to harm Alice.“Is something the matter” A female voice brought Lilac out of her reverie. She turned around to see who it was. And found Doris, Lucas’ mate, standing two feet away from her.“Doris!, I’ve missed you” A slight smile spread across Lilac’s face as she walked forward and gave Doris a warm hug. “Are you sure?” Doris asked, breaking the hug. “You haven’t come to say hi since you came back,” she added, pretending to be hurt by that.“I’m so sorry. I was just overwhelmed by things happening in the pack.” Lilac gestured for them to take a seat in the gazebo close by.“Why are you here alone? It’s unlike you,” Doris enquired. It surprised her when she saw lilacs lost in thoughts in the garden. After her talk with Lucas earlier, she had no choice but to look for Lilac.“I just needed to clear my head,” Lilac replied,
“I need a change of clothes,” Alice said nervously.“Oh, I will be right back,” Devon said, attempting to leave the room, but Alice’s hand came out through the bathroom door and stopped him.She looked tense, and he stopped. He looked around and then back at her before he pointed to his closet and she nodded. She came out of the bathroom wearing only a robe and trailed slowly behind Devon.“My bag,” she mumbled, and Devon took her bag out of the closet.She smiled nervously and walked back to the bathroom quickly with her face already the shade of crimson.Devon couldn’t help but smile at his nervous mate. Seeing her in a robe made his beast claw at him to mark her, but Devon fought it.She came out of the bathroom a few minutes later, and Devon ushered both of them out of the bedroom for breakfast.They found Lilac already seated at the table when they came down the stairs.. Her eyes met with Devon’s and she smiled. Alice sat beside Lilac, who smiled at her. They ate in comfortable
Later at night, Alice and Devon stood in his bedroom, as Alice when to the bathroom to change into her nightwear. She came back out to find Devon standing close to the bathroom door.Alice lowered her head and hid it with her hair, which fell from both sides of her face. She felt giddy and nervous when she realized Devon was going to be sleeping next to her.He smiled warmly at her and waltzed close to where stood.“Let’s get some sleep. It’s getting late” Devon grabbed her hand and led her back to the enormous bed. The words “Let’s sleep” alone made Alice’s heart rate increase rapidly, her nervousness increasing. She stopped in her tracks and looked anxiously at him.The man, who she knew for not even up to a week. They were sharing the same bed already. The thing that made her confused the most was that he was ready to protect her from any harm. Devon gave Alice a feeling of safety that she hadn’t had for a long time.And there was also an electric-like spark between them that she
Alice’s request surprised Devon. He remained quiet for almost a minute, rubbing his fingers on his chin like he was thinking about what to do.“Are you sure you want to see it?” Devon asked gruffly. He knew he might scare her, and he didn’t want her to be scared of him. He wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to show her his wolf form. He remembered Kace saying something about how she could see them, even thought they hid their wolf form from human . But he still didn’t want her to be distant from him.But in all honesty, he felt happy that she desired it, even though he couldn't comprehend why she asked for it in that manner..A wide grin which showed his perfectly aligned white teeth appeared on his face. This made Alice gaze at him in almost a daze. The smile was almost contagious, but Alice stopped herself from smiling at that moment. She was preparing herself mentally for what he says going to transform to.“Do you really want to see my wolf form?” Devon asked again to make sure,
Alice’s eyes grew wide in surprise at the sudden outburst of the wolf. She dropped her hands down and covered her ears. The growl was so loud that it sent shivers down Alice’s spine. The next second felt unreal to Alice. All she knew was that Devon pounced on her. She closed her eyes, afraid of the impact that would smash her body in an instant.However, what she felt was the Wolf’s soft purr on the skin of her arm. She opened her eyes slowly to see what was happening, and Devon let out another ferocious growl. Alice crawled down the bed afraid, she didn’t understand what was happening. She walked towards the door frantically and stumbled when she heard another ferocious growl come from behind her.She turned around to see where it was coming from and lo and behind a wolf as big as Devon with black fur stood behind. The next second the room door burst open and Lilac stood in between the door, gazing with worry etched on her face.Devon turned to Lilac, and there was a communication b
“Ash! Let her go now!” Devon growled his name out again. His deep voice was deadly. It was full of threats and warnings.Despite Devon’s threat and the fingers squeezing his neck tightly, Ash didn’t relent and still held Alice in a tight grip. Alice could feel his sharp claws piercing her neck slowly and at that moment she feared for her life. She knew he could snap her neck easily if he wanted to. Her wandered to Devon's face and he looked more feral and vicious than ever.A sneer escaped Ash's mouth. “I don’t plan on doing so,” He said with a mocking tone. And Devon strangled him even more.The expression on Ash’s face changed and the next second he was gone, like he was never been there. Kace, Lucas, and Lilac let out a big release of breath when he was gone.Kace couldn’t help but whisper to Lucas, “Where is he now? Is he gone for good?”.“No” Lucas shook his head. “He might be anywhere, He can come back at anytime". Devon's men arrived in the room and Lucas gestured for them to
Alice looked at Devon, who stopped what he was doing. She wondered what was wrong. Devon dropped his hand from the doorknob and turned to Lilac out, who stood a few feet away from them. Lilac forward and asked what was wrong “What’s going on Devon?” “I need you to stay here with Alice,” He replied to her, and she nodded. Devon turned to look at his mate and gave her an assuring smile before walking out of the room. Alice attempted to follow him out but Lilac stopped by holding her arm lightly.“He will be back, don’t worry,” she assured her brother’s mate.“Why can’t we leave?” Devon asked as soon as he saw Lucas.“Kace just informed me about the shapeshifters attacking the packs around our territory,” Lucas replied in a downcast tone.“What! Ash cant be doing this alone? Someone must be helping him,” Devon said, and Lucas thought of someone.“Alpha, do you think Alpha Raphael may be involved?” “Raphael, I don’t think so. He might be against me, but he wouldn’t try something like
His words made Hazel burst out laughing. “To see me? Have you made a decision yet? It took you long enough.” She looked unfazed. “I regret it” She scoffed. “What do you regret, ever meeting me? Sometimes I regret it too. But in my heart, I don't because I loved you so much but you betrayed me.” Liam could only stare at her. He never imagined this would be the last time he would see her in this kind of situation.“You didn't fight for us. You should have, maybe we wouldn't have ended up this way.” she turned away from him. Liam stood there for a few seconds before turning to leave.When he got back, he called for Tyler and told him his decision. The news of what was to happen spread through the whole Kingdom like wildfire and everyone was happy except a few people. Joan sat on the bed with her eyes closed. Hazel was to be executed a Month from then. Hearing about her execution didn't make her happy at all. She stood up and started to pace around.She heard a knock on the door and w
"Your majesty, the people are waiting for you to make a decision,” Tyler said to Liam who was staring out the large windows in the hallway of the Palace. The people were waiting. It kept ringing in his head over and over again… The immense amount of guilt he felt was delaying him from making a decision he should have made already. It wasn't an easy decision for him to make and they all knew it but there was nothing anyone could do. He was the king and the only one who could make it. Joan stood a distance away from them staring at Liam. Liam turned towards the direction she was in when her scent invaded his nostrils. She smiled slightly at him and started to walk to where he was.Tyler saw her coming and bowed slightly at her. She nodded towards him as he walked away to give the both of them space. “You look troubled” Joan said and Liam nodded. He turned back to look outside the window and Joan stood close to him looking in the same direction he was looking at...“She told me about t
"No!” Hazel screamed out loud and fell to the ground as she watched Joan run into Liam's arms. Where did all her plans go wrong? Why! Why did this happen?“No!” She yelled and started to dark magic spells but Johnathan and Alice were on her without wasting a second. Alice brought both of her hands forward and channelled all the energy of light she had in her entire body towards Hazel, while Jonathan castes a spell to subdue her powers so she wouldn't be able to use her powers to the full extent.“Ahhhh!” Alice yelled as she let out all of her energy but Hazel was still trying to fight it with all she had. Diana came into the room to witness all of this.And started to chant spells Also to help Johnathan who was going down slowly. Ash felt pain never before as he watched his sister but couldn't do a single thing...Saphira couldn't just stand and joined in also. It was the four of them against Hazel who was fighting relentlessly.Alice closed her eyes as she felt her energy completely
Please wake up Devon I need you please!” Alice sobbed uncontrollably, as she shook her mate. She needed him now more than ever. She needed to save Joan, but her energy was so drained that she could barely do anything. Her eyes were red and swollen due to all the tears. “I can't believe Hazel could do a thing like this. This is all the moon goddess's fault. If she had just told me who their leader was like I asked none of this would have happened” Diana said through gritted teeth as she tried to use her powers to open the door of the room they were locked in but it didn't work because of the amount of forbidden magic that had been released by Hazel earlier to suppress everyone's power. But it would be different for Devon because he didn't have any magic and wouldn't find it hard to change into his lycan form. Did she foresee this? Was this why she made Devon unconscious?“What are we going to do? Joan is in danger I can feel it. I need to be there” Alice said to Diana who had no idea
Liam looked around the room that he was in and saw Hazel standing at the far end of the room. In front of her was Joan. “Joan!” He was about to run to his mate but Hazel's voice stopped him.She Brought out a knife and held it to Joan's neck. Joan looked at Liam with fear in her eyes. He didn't look shocked to see Hazel. He knew already. “I should release you now since he is here” Joan felt strength return to her body and gasped. When she felt the blade closer to her neck. She didn't want Liam to see this. He would be ruined for good if he watched Hazel kill her heart broke for him, even though she was scared shitless that Hazel would slice her throat. Gia watched from the crystal ball. She hoped Hazel would take her powers before she killed her. They needed it. She regretted handing the moonstone to her. As she was about to leave the room, the door to the Room flew open to reveal Alicia and everyone. “My powers are back” Johnathan said to Lilac. They were finally out of the spells
Ash and Saphira stood outside the tower with deep frowns on their respective faces. “I can't believe this” Saphira said. Ash couldn't believe also but it was happening and he couldn't abandon Hazel because she was his sister. He bent down and placed his hand on the ground with his eyes closed. Saphira watched as she did this, wondering what he was trying to find. He opened his eyes and looked at her. “There is an illusion spell around this place. I thought I should check for anything before we go in” He explained.“An illusion spell isn't that forbidden magic.” She said and Ash nodded confirming her doubts. She sighed and scoffed. “What has your sister gotten her hands into? I can't use my powers in a place like this. It has dark magic hovering around and you know what that does to white witches” Saphira sighed. “Should we just go in there? We can't. We would surely get trapped in the spell. I've never dealt with an illusion spell but long ago, my mother told me about it” She raise
Gia stood outside the room where Hazel was with Joan. Both her hand were fisted in rage because of what she had just heard Hazel confess to Joan. Her intuition had been right all along. She knew something was wrong somewhere and now Hazel had finally confirmed her doubt. All her life she had lived hoping that one day their great leader would rise again and make their name shine so they wouldn't have to hide anymore. But now their plans were in the wrong hands..She couldn't hold back her anger anymore and pushed the door open. “What do you mean by all that!” Gia said through gritted teeth due to pure anger. “I told you to wait outside” Hazel ignored her questions. She wasn't in the mood of listening to Gia whine about every single thing and she didn't a damn if she heard her. “Answer me!”Gia demanded as she walked fully into the room. Hazel ran her hand through her hair as she poured herself a glass of wine. “I just said it to deceive her. I didn't mean it” Hazel took a sip out of h
"Johnathan! Can you hear me” Lilac shook her mate trying to get him back to his senses but he was lost in his visions. His heart raced as he saw what was to happen.. and this time he also saw a way to avoid it without anyone getting hurt like he had seen before.He gasped when he came back to him. He turned to look at lilac who left out a sign of relief. She was so frightened that something had happened to him in a place like this. “Are you okay? What happened? You frightened me”“I am fine” He tried to get up but stumbled a little, luckily Lilac held him. “Are you sure you are fine?” She asked and he nodded assuring her..“We should get back to check the rooms. I'm fine I promise” He assured her again even though Lilac wasn't convinced. She still held on to him as they walked through the hallways. She was afraid he would stumble again. “This is the last room” she said and he nodded. They tried to push open the door to this room but it was locked. “It's locked” Lilac said and tried to
Alice's whole body began to glow brightly as an energy she had never felt before overshadowed her entire body illuminating her body from head to toe… Diana and Liam could only watch in awe as this unfolded before their eyes… The glow slowly started to die down revealing Alice with closed eyes. Her eyes flew open. “Joan” she muttered. She raised her eyes to look at Liam and then at Diana.“I think you both need to know this. Their leader is someone we all know. It's…Hazel” “What!” Diana exclaimed. Liam couldn't say a word. He was too stunned to speak. He felt guilty and at the same time confused about why she would do a thing like this. “I don't know how but she somehow got to Joan and I think Joan is in danger. She is somewhere in the tower but I don't know exactly where she is” Liam felt his heart stop when he heard Alice. His mate was his danger because of him. His wolf growled at him in worry. “We need to find her,” He said in a low voice. There was unconscious Devon with them
