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
"Mother!" Hazel was startled to see her mother approaching with Ash behind her and she didn't look happy. She was fuming mad and only became more infuriated when Liam sat beside her daughter."I warned you Hazel!" Alicia waltzed towards her daughter Angrily. She grabbed Hazel's arm and started dragging her away, ignoring Liam who was beside her."Let me go mom!" Hazel protested with her mother, But Alicia wasn't having any of it. "Stop arguing with me Hazel. You will thank me for this later!. Why can't you listen for once." Alicia glanced at Liam in disdain as she said those words.Liam quickly sprang into action, he held Hazel free arm stopping Alicia from dragging her any further."What do you think you are doing!" Alicia snapped, anger coursing through her veins."Let her go, you are hurting her" Liam said in a low voice. "You damn Lycans. He will leave you once he finds his mate, like your father did!. You will regret this Hazel" Alicia finally let go of Hazel's arm and storme
It will take a while to read this book in its entirety, so I'm going to skip that. Just tell me the really important thing when you are done" Diana said to Alice before leaving the palace to God knows where. Nobody bothered to ask her."She had been acting strange" Alice whispered to Devon when Diana turned to leave."Isn't she always strange?" Devon responded out loud. Diana's behavior was something that wasn't new to Devon."We should get started on the book" Alice Turned to Joan, who had been silent. Maybe the book may get her mind off things for a while.Devon left them alone to start reading the book. It contained many important pieces of information about the people of Varilya and the main reason Why the first Fae queen took Epheba's powers. It wasn't just to save the man she loved, the black witch Epheba was also in love the first Lycan and tried her possible best to separate him from the first Fae queen, this made her indulge Forbidden dark magic. It made her go crazy and she
A lady walked into the room, with Another lady trailing behind her. She didn't look happy but that wasn't the shocking thing. The lady who walked in at first looked exactly like Alice and the second lady like Joan. "Oh my God!" Joan exclaimed in complete shock. It was like staring back at herself in a Mirror. The only difference was their attire and hairstyles. Apart from that everything was the same. Alice and Joan exchanged surprised looks."Meredith, you have to calm down. and think about this well. Dark magic isn't something to be taken lightly" The lady who looked like Joan said, she looked worried about something."No Abigail. I can't postpone this any longer!" The lady named Meredith replied. She walked hastily towards a shelf and took out a book, which Alice and Joan immediately recognized. It was the Grimoire, it looked exactly the same, as the one they had."What are you doing with that Devilish book! I thought you threw it away" Abigail folded her arms around her chest. M
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
