Lilac's eyes fluttered open slowly. She stirred on the bed and saw Johnathan staring at her, with his hands folded across his chest. She got up immediately. "Good morning!" He greeted me, and something felt off about him."Good morning," She greeted back. "We need to go" He said and started to leave the room. Lilac got up from the bed and followed him out of the room."Do we really have to go back now? Can we–" Lilac's words were interrupted when she bumped into Johnathan's back, he had stopped walking abruptly.Johnathan turned to look at the first woman he had brought into his house in the supernatural world. She was avoiding eye contact with him, how could he be her mate, why him off all people. How were the children of the prophecy connected to The Donovans?"We can't stay here forever. We have been here for days" He replied and Lilac sighed deeply. She didn't want to go back to the palace, oddly she was at peace in this house…with him. Was she just being like this because he was
Lilac's eyes grew wide in surprise Also when she realized what she was doing. Her body reacted before her mind now things were going to get really awkward. She quickly broke the kiss and moved a few feets away from him. Johnathan still stared at her with surprise in his eyes, because he was surprised at himself too, the feelings he felt when she kissed him was indescribable, his heart skipped many beats, just staring at her flushed face, she looked as started as he was."I'm sorry I didn't mean to do—" Lilac clenched her forehead and started pacing around again, before she turned and left the room quickly. She didn't want to kiss him again, his presence alone was affecting her senses. She now understood how Devon and Liam were feeling."Arghh!! Why did I do that? '' She groaned in annoyance when she was In the kitchen a few rooms away from him. She wanted to leave the house but her wolf immediately started a protest. "Quiet down!" She muttered. As she turned around to leave the kitche
"Was that really Diana…how is this possible…why didn't you say anything" Lilac bombarded Johnathan with multiple questions, she was beyond bewildered. How can her mate be Diana's son, Diana was her friend. This whole thing made her head spin. "Yes it was Her. I didn't think there was a need to say anything" He answered her questions, Lilac continued to stare at him with disbelief in her eyes."Then your father is connor?" She realized and he nodded. "Wow, this is really unbelievable. Does Devon know about this?""Maybe" Johnathan was standing fully in front of Lilac now. "I need to speak with Diana, is she still here" She looked at the direction of the door. Johnathan nodded, he could still sense Diana's presence in the house."She is at the back of the house. Please tell her to leave" Juts by hearing the tone of Johnathan voice, Lilac knew immediately that the mother and son were not on good terms. She knew if she asked Johnathan he might not tell her so she decided to ask Diana.Li
Johnathan was conflicted and didn't think it was a good idea to continue, they just met and were still coming with terms with his mate thing. And now things had quickly escalated, he wanted her…badly, he couldn't deny it, but his mind kept tugging at him that what he was doing was wrong.Lilac has gotten carried away with her feelings that no other thoughts came to her. All she placed her thoughts on was the feelings coursing throw her entire body. Her body was hot and it felt good. "Let's stop here" Jonathan whispered, even though Lilac could see clearly in his eyes that he wanted her the way she wanted him. She didn't know the response to give. Both their hearts were beating frantically. Lilac knew if they continued she would have no choice but to mark him.They just continued to stare at each other in silence, they body wasn't following their mind anymore. Only their heart was working now, Johnathan didn't want her to go and Lilac and her wolf didn't want to go too. They just wan
"You're so beautiful" He said, his gaze worshipfully running across every curve and dip of her delectable figure. But he stepped away. "Get into the water first. It's cold"Even though Lilac was not feeling cold at all, she took Jonathan's hand and let him help her into the tub. She quickly lowered herself until all of her was submerged except her head, in the hopes of hiding her naked body in the water. The water felt too hot on her already feverish skinLilac could see him undressing, she saw him loose the button on his pants and quickly looked away, her whole body was on fire, she needed to get rid of this tension so she could think straight.. What was going on with her, was she having a fever? But it did not feel like that in a way, she decided to blame everything on the 'mate' thing …"Lilac" Johnathon called her name softly, it was like a siren call that made it her turn to look at him. She gulped when she saw the perfection in front of her. When he made his way towards her, h
Lilac supported her weight on his shoulders and rose to her knees when Johnathan stilled under her. She was too dazed to realize the primitive hunger dancing in his eyes."Johna–" she couldn't even complete his name because Johnathan suddenly moved and grabbed her. His strong arms wrapped around her waist, lifting her up slightly as he buried his head against her torso. "Lilac …" his tone was grave, his eyes were passion-drowned as he cupped the soft shape of her breast with his one hand. He gently kneaded, squeezed it while his mouth kissed her throat.His hands began to explore her body, on and on, she felt both his light and heavy touches alternately everywhere as if he were determined to leave nothing untouched and unexplored,"Jonathan …" Lilac moaned and gasped and strained at his touches and kisses. The strong hands tracing over every nook and cranny of her body awakened unspeakable fiery sensations.Johnathan groaned. Completely absorbed in only feeling her, in finally touchi
"Lilac, stop –" Johnathan choked on his saliva as he was incredibly turned on but had to force himself to hold back for their sake.She squeezed him gently and all he could do was groan. His hands that held her, the hands that were supposed to stop her trembled. This was bad. He wanted her so much it was killing him. He didn't want to stop her. The caresses of her delicate hands felt like salvation. He felt like a person who was dying of thirst in the desert and had finally found that saving a jug of water – only to have it held at arm's length. It was so close yet so far that he felt himself nearing insanity.Her lashes lifted as her hands continued caressing him and Jonathan sucked in his breath. Her hair had darkened because of their wetness. She was like a goddess that had emerged from some mystical lake."Why are you holding back…" she opened her lips hesitantly. "There has to be a way," she asked, shy. Not knowing that her question was the most potent drug that could seduce eve
Alice stood in the balcony of Devon's chamber with Devon's hand wrapped around her waist. She tilted her head to look at him, he had a warm smile on his face. "I wonder when Johnathan and Lilac will be back. It's been over three days already. Diana is nowhere to be found too, '' She said in a worried tone. They still needed to solve the problems involving the Grimoire, they had to find where Meredith hid Epheba's powers before the dark and black witches did.A deep exasperated sigh escaped her mouth. Why couldn't they just leave without any problems. Devon rested his chin on Alice's shoulder. "Everything will be fine My love." He assured and she nodded. She turned to look at him with so much love in her eyes."Let's go and have a long date after all of this." She said excitedly and Devon nodded. He had something he really wanted to give her but wasn't sure if the time was right. Devon hand reached into his pocket to touch a small box, he was about to bring it out, but stopped his acti
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
