Vera walked past Alice and headed towards where Ezekiel was standing. "We need to leave now. They found us!" Worry was etched in Ezekiel's voice."What!" Vera exclaimed. "How did they find us so soon.!" "I don't know, just pack a small bag and get Alice before she wakes up" Vera quickly did as her husband instructed.. Alice wondered what or who her parents were running from. Was this the reason they were killed? Alice attempted to follow Vera, but was stopped by Devon and he shook his head. He was sure of what would happen next. Ezekiel followed Vera to another part of the house, Diana, Liam, Johnathan and Joan, did the same also. But Devon couldn't allow Alice to follow in place, he didn't want her to witness what was going to happen. He still regretted allowing her to follow them. But he knew he couldn't tell her to stay back at the palace.Ezekiel was just about to enter the living room of the, when a figure appeared out of the shadows. This made Joan Gasp and Johnathan's eyes
Devon followed Diana, with Alice trailing behind him. Joan was standing by the door with a shocked expression on her face. "Alice I don't think you should go in there" Joan blocked, Alice's way. She looked her Devon and he understood joan, she didn't want her friend too see something as vicious as that. Even she couldn't stand it and had to leave."Please stay with her" Devon asked Joan and she nodded. Alice didn't protest and waited outside the room with Joan. Joan held her arm as they waited for their mates."What's going—" Devoon trailed off when he saw the lifeless body of Alice parents laying on the floor. He couldn't believe Alice had to witness something like this as a child. "Jared is crazy" Liam muttered. Johnathan walked out of the room, leaving Liam, Devon and Diana left."Something isn't right. I think–" Diana trailed off when she saw Jared lifeless body began to move slowly. "This is what I wanted you to see." Some seconds later, Jared eyes shot open, but it wasn't red
Joan sat down on Liam's bed slowly. Her whole body was still trembling. She wasn't expecting to see her parents. "Joan" Liam whispered her name. Joan Turned to look at him, with tears in her eyes. He drew her into a warm hug and he could feel her sobbing silently in his arms. "Why did that have to happen to her parents" she whispered. She couldn't imagine what Alice would have gone through witnessing something like that."We will find him, and he will pay" Liam assured, rocking his mate slowly.Joan broke the hug and wiped her tears. "I don't remember what happened that night. But we moved soon after to another city, I was too young to understand" She explained. "My parents were involved in an accident a year later and I had to leave in an orphanage" she added. Joan didn't remember her parents talking about what had happened. Liam tucked joan in and attempted to leave the room, but Joan held his arm "please don't go, I don't want to be alone" she pleaded. Liam nodded and got into t
Diana came back to the palace later in the day. She went straight to Liam's chamber to tell him what she had found out about Jared in the city."I heard from one of my sources that he met with Gia, a black witch." She stared."She is known for always aiding the dark witches in their plans. But I couldn't find her." "We have to find out what he was looking for in Alice's house. I think it's really important" Devon said and Liam nodded. Now that they had to go back and search the house, but in the past and not the future. In case The dark witches took whatever it was. "This is all so complicated." Diana said, her hand was on her chin."Do you think her parents were aware of her powers? We need to go back and find out exactly what happened." That was the only way Devon could think of. It would shed more light on everything that was happening."We have to go alone this time" Liam chimed in. He didn't want his mate to see any traumatic events again, so did Devon."Yes I agree" Diana sa
"Do something Kiel!" Vera turned to her husband, who was out of shock.Ezekiel moved closer to Alice slowly. "Alice, honey." He called her name softly. The light from Alice's eyes suddenly dimmed and she started to fall, but Ezekiel caught her in time."What if the neighbors saw her? '' Vera asked in worry. Her eyes scrutinized the whole area before she went back inside with her husband.Everyone else was stunned by what they just witnessed. "They knew about her powers," Devon muttered."We have to suppress her powers again. It's too much for her to handle" Ezekiel said after he placed Alice's little body on her bed.Vera nodded and left the room. She came back a minute later with an elixir in her hand."Gia told me it would be effective, but we shouldn't give her too much," She explained."I don't trust her, but we don't have a choice" Ezekiel opened the elixir and poured a little quantity into Alice's mouth. After that he closed it and handed it back to his wife."We need to leave,
Diana took the Grimoire back to the room given to her in the palace. She had always wondered what was really written in there. Everything she had been hearing were stories. But everyone knew the Grimore contained what really happened between the first Lycan and The fae. It also contained What she did to Epheba and how to undo it. That was why the Grimore had been sealed in a cave.How did Alice's parents have the same Grimoire containing such information? She remembers Ezekiel saying it was passed down through his family for centuries. Was he perhaps from the descendant of faeries. Diana took out her crystal ball and a piece of Alice's hair which she had been keeping in case she needed it in the future. She took it when she helped Alice take a bath.Diana placed the hair in the front of the crystal ball and started to chant some spell. The silver crystal ball started to glow, Diana quickly looked into it, and it revealed to her the answers to her question.Alice was from a descendan
When Diana arrived at the place everyone was seated for breakfast. She looked more than upset. "Good morning" Alice greeted, which she didn't respond to.It wasn't a surprise to anyone as it wasn't the first time they had seen Diana this way. It was almost a common thing."Did you open it?" Liam asked, ignoring her obvious state. Diana handed the book to Devon. "I can't open it, but she can"."Me!" Alice asked with a question in her voice."Yes, only a person from the house of Varilya can open it and it seems her father is their descendant. Same with Alice" she explained. Devon dropped the book on the table. He wanted Alice to have her breakfast first before she opened the book and she agreed."I haven't seen Lilac in a while, are you sure she is in the palace?" Liam asked Diana. The frown on Diana's face became deeper when she heard Lilac's name."Yes she is. I saw her just now." Diana said in a slightly annoyed tone, which everyone didn't miss."Why isn't she joining us for breakfa
Alice quickly flipped through the book, but found all the pages were blank. She tilted her head and looked at Devon in bewilderment.Devon too was confused. He wasn't expecting to see a blank book. "Maybe Diana would have an answer to this" He said and Alice nodded. They left the room to look for Diana, but couldn't find her anywhere in the palace."Where has she gone?" Alice said in an annoyed tone. "She will be back, she always finds her way back here" Devon assured Alice. She nodded and Devon collected the Grimoire from her. I know a safe place we can keep it, till she comes back. They both went to Liam's chamber to look for him and Joan. "Have you opened the Grimoire?" Joan asked curiously. Her eyes traveled to the book in Devon's arm."Yes but, it's blank. There is nothing written in there. We think Diana might have a solution to it" Alice explained to her friend.Devon tried to Mindlink Liam but didn't get any response. Which was odd, it was like Liam was blocking him out."Wh
