Diana's eyes fluttered open after she met with Selene. She got up abruptly from the chair she was sitting on and started to pace around pondering on what Selene had shown her in the crystal ball. Alice was expecting a child. If the dark witches should get a wind of a thing like this then it would be over for them. Her having a child would only mean that the energy she had would become stronger as time went on. As strong as the power the moonstones had. If the dark witches couldn't find the remaining moonstones, then their attention would be directed towards Alice. Her pregnancy had to be kept a secret by all means. She thought about the surprise Selene talked about that was something else too as if this wasn't enough of a surprise. This wasn't the right time to have a baby at all. Diana groaned in annoyance. There was nothing they could do about it. She left the room angrily and went to where Devon and Liam were.“Where have you been?” Liam asked when Diana walked into the room. “I t
THE FEW HOURS BEFORE ALICE WAS TAKEN…“I wonder when they will be back. It's been over three days already,” Alice pouted as she and Joan ate dinner. Joan didn't say anything and only smiled slightly. She watched as Alice appetite increased. Lilith had given her a medicine that made her have more strength than before she was happy about that.“What do you think about trying to use my powers after breakfast? Who knows, I might be able to open a portal without getting exhausted now” Alice said in a low voice.“Alice we have talked about this already. Lilith warned against that, she said you need a lot of rest and you should never exert yourself that it was dangerous.” Joan disagreed immediately. She was going to make sure Alice didn't do the opposite of what the healer had said.Alice pouted again and continued with her food. She tried what she had been trying for the past few days. Mind linking Devon, but it didn't work. Was he that far away? She missed him. She felt a bit emotional all
Joan's eyes fluttered open an hour later to see Liam, Diana and Devon standing by her bedside. It took her a few seconds to register everything that had happened. “Alice!” She said and got up abruptly. “Where is Alice!” Her hand travelled to her head because of the splitting headache she had. “What happened?” Devon asked her immediately without wasting time. He had been waiting for her to wake up after much persuasion from Liam for him to be calm and not rush out of the Palace like a crazy person to find his mate. “We were attacked by dark witches while taking a walk in the garden and…” Joan groaned a bit in pain. “I don't remember what happened next, we fought back and we were about to alert the guards but everything went dark all of a sudden” “Is Alice okay? Where is she?” Joan waited for a response, worry was evident in her eyes. “She was taken” Diana was the one who answered her.” what!” Joan exclaimed and tried to get out of the bed. But Diana stopped her Immediately. “We have t
Alice yelped in pain as she tried to free her hands from the ropes that were tied firmly around her hands and legs. Her eyes scanned the room that she was in, but she couldn't see a thing. It was pitch black. After much struggle, she was able to free one of her hands. She soon got her second hand and legs free also. Where was she? The last thing she remembers was a dark mist surrounding her and Joan, and then she opened her eyes and found herself in this dark room. She was probably taken by the dark witches. She figured that part out when she saw that she was tied. What about Joan? Was she taken too? She hoped not. Alice sighed deeply and started the plan she had been thinking about in her head as she was trying hard to free herself from those tight ropes. It wasn't anything grand. She just needed to open up a portal that would take her back to the Palace. The only problem was that she didn't know if Joan was still her and was placed in another room. She couldn't get Joan out by hers
Johnathan and Lilac were back at the Palace before the sun was out. They looked distraught. Joan refused to eat anything and kept asking what should be done to get Alice back. “Is Devon not back yet?” Lilac asked about her older brother. Diana shook her head. Devon didn't come back to the Palace through the night. It was probably a good and bad thing. Diana hoped his wolf wouldn't completely go feral if Alice wasn't found soon. That was one of her worries. “I tried using the crystal ball to find Alice but…” Johnathan looked into the crystal ball to see but it was covered by what looked like a Haze. “How is this possible, but she was taken by dark witches. This is white magic” “Yes, I was surprised at first too when I saw this. A white witch is helping them. That is why they were able to infiltrate the Palace and no alarm was raised for a while. The white witch was able to create a barrier around the Palace. She must be gifted” Diana sighed. All this only meant more problems for them.
“We need your help Lilith” Lilac said “I will be glad to help in any way I can your highness” Lilith replied. She was ready to help them in any way to find Alice. She still blamed herself for not being strong enough to stop the dark witches.“I need you to show us what happened last night” Joan said, and Lilith nodded. She was aware of Joan's powers and readily stretched forth her hand for Joan to take. Joan accepted it, too. Lilac held hands with Johnathan after he held hands with joan. Joan wanted to show them everything in case she missed an important clue and they didn't. It didn't take long for her to get into Lilith's memory of the previous day. Lilac and Johnathan were also transported into the memory because of Joan's power. It looked so real that Lilac was taken aback for a few seconds. “Wow!” She muttered. They saw Lilith walking through the Palace hallway, but she stopped in her tracks just as few feet after she walked past the door, leading to the Palace garden. Lilith w
Why the hell isn't it working!” Kyra yelled out in anger when she tried to use her powers again. She had been waiting for Them to come back for her but after spending over a day hiding from the Lycans she knew they had abandoned her. “No!” Kyra tried to convince herself that that wasn't the case. Maybe they thought she had died during the fight. That was better than them abandoning her. Thankfully because of what happened at the palace, everyone was preoccupied.She soon realised that they had no idea that a dark witch was hiding in the Palace. This was an advantage for her. She glanced at her injured arm which was taking way too long to heal because of the hex around the Palace that Diana had placed. Kyra cursed under her breath. A smile appeared on her face, at least they were successful on their Misson. It wouldn't be long now. When Epheba rose again she would get her revenge on those despicable lycans. Kyra's eyes were full of hidden pain and anger. She would never forget the day
Chapter 198Alice watched as the dark witches were performing their rituals. What were they planning to do to her? She struggled with the ropes around her hands but this time they made it much tighter. How was she going to get out of this situation? She missed Devon… she didn't even get the chance to tell him about the baby. Why was life always too cruel to her whenever she was finally finding joy again? Alice tried to conjure the energy she had but it didn't work. She felt weak and could barely move. Her eyes traveled around the room, trying to look for a way out and then her eyes landed on Alicia. She was standing in a corner at a distance away from the dark witches. She stood in silence watching everything the dark witches were doing. Her gaze met with Alice and she looked away after a second. Alice saw it in her eyes, it was guilt. Alice remembered the other time also. The look the white witch had in her eyes made Alice think that something wasn't right. Was she perhaps being coe
