They have been gone for hours now. Let's go looking for them” Liam paced around in the living area of his Chambers. He had been worried since Joan left at breakfast. When would Diana learn to shut her mouth? Devon sat on the couch watching his brother pace around restlessly. “They will be back soon. Joan needs to clean her head.” Devon said, hoping his words would make Liam calm down a bit. But Liam only became more restless. “I shouldn't have agreed to it. I should have sent Hazel away” Liam muttered. “Why did she have to return now of all times, why. She came to ruin everything” Liam continued. Devon could only watch him without saying a word.He thought the same too. Why would Hazel just show up out of the blue and offer them her help? It was too suspicious for him to overlook. The only problem was that he couldn't have Hazel-tailed. She would know immediately, it would just be a complete waste of time. Maybe if Joan tried to read her memories they could find out what her motives
"They are back” Devon said to Liam, who was still extremely worried. “Really” Liam said but still remained seated. Devon raised his brow in question. “Aren't you going to see her? You were worried sick a few seconds ago” “I was,” Liam said in a low voice and stood up from the couch. Devon did the same also. When Liam's hand landed on the door knob he refused to open the door till Devon called his name. “Let's just go, there is no use avoiding this,” Devon said and Liam nodded…Joan remained at the same spot even though they were back at the Palace, Alice had no idea Joan wasn't walking with her for a moment. “Joan'' Alice called out to her when she saw that her friend was in a complete daze. “Yes'' Joan snapped out of her daze and turned to Alice. “Let's go” Alice said, Joan subconsciously stepped back when her eyes landed on the two men approaching.Alive followed her line of sight and saw Liam and Devon approaching. Joan looked like she was about to bolt, but she still remained sta
"Is that so bad,you of all people knew why I indulged in dark magic” Hazel said in a low voice. “Everyone thinks I did it for my mother, but that's not true, I did it because of him. I was pushed to the edge by Ash. The king and Queen were ready to do anything to separate us” A sad smile appeared on Hazel's face.“It was because I was a witch and not his mate. I wanted to see if there was a way I could become his mate and I mistakenly indulged in dark magic. I had no idea then, I thought Monica was trying to help me. I didn't know she was a dark witch” Ash saw that his sister was in pain. Pain she had kept concealed for all those years. She was finally letting it out.“I've missed him for years upon years. I couldn't move on, I couldn't meet him because I felt guilty. I ached for him every single day… but I couldn't…I couldn't bring myself to see him.” She continued. She was crying now. Her tears were flowing uncontrollably. Her shoulders started to tremble.“Hazel” Ash called out h
Chapter 178Alice walked past Devon and didn't say a word to him. He could feel that she was upset. “Alice” He called her name softly when they arrived at his chambers, but she didn't respond and disappeared into the bathroom. When she came back out, she changed into her nightwear and simply went to lay down on the bed, Ignoring him. Devon went to take a shower too, and when he was done her eyes closed, but he knew she was not asleep. She just didn't want to speak to him. He got into the bed and just watched her without saying a word. He had tried talking to Liam but that was as far as he could go. “Alice” He called her name softly after a while and her eyes fluttered open slowly. She just stared at him without answering. “We encountered a black witch today,” She said after a while. “What!” Devon exclaimed. “Relax, she fled and didn't do anything to us. We can take on a black witch” Alice said, and Devon relaxed a bit.“I saw what you did with my house. Thank you” Alice said in a lo
Lilac stood in Johnathan's kitchen staring at the disaster she just made happen. Her feets moved forward and then backwards. She had tried to make breakfast for him before he was up but it almost led to her setting the kitchen on fire. She had followed the recipe but ended up messing everything up. The toast was beyond burnt. Same with the scrambled eggs. It was unrecognizable. “Shit! I should have learned to cook as fun. What is the use of living so long when I can't even make toast.” Lilac muttered as she started to clean up her mess. She was lucky enough to get the hang of doing the dishes after breaking more than half. Maybe cooking wasn't just for her. She had tried it once before when she had left the Palace for a few years but ended up with a worse disaster than this.“I didn't have a reason to learn. All our meals were taken care of before we woke up or blinked” She continued to mutter. Johnathan had been the one making her breakfast, even though he wasn't fully recovered y
The kiss wasn't a soft kiss, Johnathan started to pry her mouth with his tongue and Lilac was trying her best to keep up with him. It was hot! Demanding kiss, that made lilac melt like butter over and over again. She was finding it hard to keep up and yet she didn't want him to stop. She snaked her hand around his neck and stood on her tiptoe to reach him, while Johnathan snaked his hand around her waist and pulled her close to him like he wanted them to merge into one. Lilac could feel a bulge poking her down there already and it just made the hotness in her lower body increase rapidly. When she couldn't breathe anymore she broke the hot kiss and looked at him with dilated eyes. “I can't breathe, '' she whispered in a disheveled voice. Johnathan became conflicted when he heard her words.He lifted her up swiftly and placed her on the small dressing table he had gotten for her in just a short while. “I'm sorry” He said in a deep, hunger ridden voice. His hot breath on her skin caress
Lilac raised her hand to knock on the door but it stopped midair. She turned away and let out a deep breath. What the hell was she doing!? She groaned in a low voice and ran her hand through her hair, she turned around and walked away from the bathroom door and into the living room. Lilac paced around for about five minutes thinking and trying to calm herself but it didn't work, she turned towards the direction of the room and went back into the room. As she walked in she bumped right into Johnathan who was fresh out of the shower. Lilac had grabbed his robe for support so she wouldn't fall and ended up revealing his muscular chest and abs. She swallowed her eyes trailing his body and quickly backed away from him. “I'm sorry…I didn't…sorry” She stuttered, her face bright crimson. Johnathan nodded and said nothing else before he walked away into the closet. “calm yourself down lilac!” lilac scolded herself in a low voice, why was she acting like a crazy ass lady. This was part of he
Chapter 182Lilac was kissed unexpectedly and didn't react for the first few seconds, she just stood there frozen, but she soon opened up for him. His kiss which was first sweet became more demanding, like he was starved. His tongue started to pry every concern of her mouth and the butterflies in Lilac's tummy moved around uncontrollably. Her heart started to beat Frantically in her ribcage as she kissed him back, she was trying to keep up with his pace. But he was just too fast and she couldn't breathe and her wolf was starting to go berserk again. Lilac broke the kiss and stared at him with dilated, hungry eyes. “Do you want to do this, because if I continue I am not stopping” Johnathan whispered in a hunger-filled voice that made Lilac's toe curl. She looked at him with the same hunger in her eyes. “Yes, I want this… I want you…” She said in a low voice. Johnathan didn't need her to say any more words. She picked her up by her waist and steadied her legs around his waist. Lilac s
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
