Liam was about to help Joan up when his eyes wandered back to Johnathan again. This time he could see slow movement coming from Johnathan. Was this real! or were his eyes deceiving him?. He was still alive. They needed to get there quickly because they couldn't predict what next the dark witches and black witches would do. ___________……………….Johnathan opened his eyes slowly. At first everything was blurry. Why was he here? What happened?. It was then that his mind replayed all the things that happened and how he ended up here . A pain coursed through his entire body that made him groan. What was wrong with him, what did this despicable abomination of witches do to him. His eyes wandered downwards till it landed on his stomach, just below his chest, blood was oozing out. The pain seemed to increase once he saw the wound. he could coughed out blood then and the pain become more severe. Johnathan looked up to scan the area and it was then he finally saw the gathering of Black and dar
They all watched as the amber light grew bigger and bigger, till they saw someone emerging from it. "Alice," Devon said in shock when he saw his fiancee. He was about to ask what was happening but Alice was quick to talk. "There is no time to explain," She said hurriedly and started to open another portal. When it was big enough, she turned to look at their surprised faces and simply said "Let's go" Lilac and Diana went immediately after Alice. They could hear an explanation later, what mattered was saving Johnathan. They all entered the portal."Well, that happened later than I thought," Saphira said to Ash who had a deep frown on his face. He didn't comment on her words and simply remained quiet. Darius and Maximus came to tell them what they had found less than a minute later. "We found them! You wouldn't believe what we saw! Oh my! All this is crazy!" Darius said the look on his face said it all. He and Maximus had to hide, they couldn't risk getting caught by the dark witches, wh
Chapter 157Ash, Saphira, Darius and Maximus emerged right into the fight between the Lycans and dark witches. "Well if this isn't the right time" Darius said in an exasperated tone. Saphira's eyes scanned the area till it landed on Lilac and Diana. Johnathan was in Lilac's arms and she was trying to take him away.Ash saw this and the frown on his face deepened. He was looking intently at Lilac when he spotted Jared walking sneakily to where she was. "That's f*cking b*stard" he cursed under his breath and disappeared the next second. Thankfully he was in time before Jared could carry out his plans. He stopped Jared by holding the blade of the knife and he knew immediately it was coated in dark magic. "Go now!" He said to Lilac when she turned to look at him, shock was evident on her face. He saw a while ago how worried she was about Jonathan, but he pushed back that pang of jealousy in his heart. Now wasn't the time for that.Lilac did as he said and when she was gone. He focused hi
Devon and Liam shifted back to their human form after the fight. When they sighted Diana she looked beyond pissed. "Ash and Saphira took Jared '' She said in an enraged tone. Gia also was nowhere to be found, she was the first one to flee. "We need to get him back, we need Information from him!" She added. Liam's eyes scanned the whole area, only ten of the black witches were dead. The dark witches were more powerful to save themselves.The only two who were Alive were trying to flee, but Diana held them down with a spell. "Do you have any idea where they might have taken him" Devon asked and Diana shook her head. Knowing her sister she would probably cover her tracks really well. "First let's head back to the palace and get as much information as we can from them" Liam said. Diana knew her son would be okay. She could just feel it in her gut.When they arrived back at the palace, Liam instructed the guards to take the black witches to the dungeon. They all then proceeded to Lilac's
Chapter 159Lilac's eyes fluttered open slowly, she got up abruptly when she saw the space beside her was empty. Panic immediately set in. “Johnathan!” She yelled his name and started and was about to run out of her Chambers when she noticed the bathroom door was slightly ajar. She rushed quickly into the bathroom and found Johnathan. Standing in front of the mirror. He turned to look at her and Lilac finally breathed out a sigh of relief. “Good morning” Came his deep voice she had been longing to hear. Emotions started to overwhelm her and Lilac didn't even realize tears were escaping her eyes. Jonathan waltzed quickly to her side, worry etched on his face when he saw her tears in her. “What's wrong, are you hurt any wh—--” he trailed off when she hugged her tightly. He was frozen for a moment, and Lilac started to sob silently. His hand slowly reached out and patted her back, he didn't say a word and realized how worried she would have been. Lilac calmed down a little and regained
Little Johnathan ran past her excitedly, there was a light in his eyes that didn't exist anymore. She watched as he ran toward the cottage and then she turned back to look at the man. It was Connor, his father and also… Diana. They both had happy smiles on their faces, it was a rare sight she had never seen before. The couple walked past her hand in hand and headed for the cottage also. The happy moments soon disappeared when she heard Diana scream out her son's name. “Johnathan!” She yelled and ran out of the cottage with Connor. They both were in panic mode. Confusion was evident on Lilac's face. What was going on, where was Johnathan!?.“They found him, Connor! They found my baby!” Diana wailed as she started to look for her son Frantically. Connor looked as distressed as her. Lilac had no idea what was happening. Who found him? Just as she was about to follow the couple, she felt a similar gush of wind overshadow her and she was transported to another place again. This time she
"My father and Diana were able to rescue me from there, but…” Jonathan trailed off. His mind reverted to the past, to what ruined the perfect family he always thought he had. What would have happened if he wasn't taken then? He always asked himself this question.“In the process of rescuing me, dark magic was used on my father. Diana thought she had gotten rid of it but it was far from that” He continued. Lilac had always been curious to know what happened to Connor. Diana just wouldn't talk about it and everyone else decided not to ask.“It started slowly, really slowly. He started to…change. Like he was possessed.” Johnathan remembered the first time they noticed something was wrong with Connor. There had been a town fair and he had wandered off. He and Diana looked everywhere for his father, only to find him almost strangling someone to death. Diana had tried to stop him, but it was as if he couldn't hear her anymore. He would never forget the look in his father's eyes. The complet
Alice woke up with a start a few hours later. She turned to the side of the bed to see that it was empty. How long was she asleep? Where was Devon? She was about to get up to look for him when her eyes met with his. He was sitting at the edge of the bed just staring at her. She tried to read his expressions but detected nothing. Why did she have the feeling that something was bothering him? “Good morning” Alice greeted in a low voice. Devon hummed but still didn't say anything. “Dev…” Alice started but trailed off when Devon stood up and walked out of the room. Was he perhaps mad at her? No! She didn't think that was the case. Did something happen while she was asleep?Alice looked around till her eyes landed on the clock. She gasped when she saw the time, it was almost mid-afternoon already. She was asleep for so long. She got up from the bed and was about to go out of the room to see why Devon left that way, but she almost bumped right into him. He was carrying a tray of food in his
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
