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
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
