Alice soon fell asleep as she was exhausted from the long Drive, but it wasn’t a deep slumber. She stirred awake by a faint tingling sensation that lingered on her back and hips. Her eyes fluttered open when she realized someone was tracing mindless circles on her arm. She stared straight into Devon’s eyes, and her breath hitched. Her eyes flew wide open when she realized how close they were. Their noses were almost touching.“You are finally awake, it worked,” He said softly, Devon continued tracing mindless circles around her arm, when he felt how tense she had become.Looking at her sleeping face, and caressing her face was the only way Devon could think of to wake his mate up. and she finally did wake up After all the troubles they had encountered for the past few days, the sight of her sleeping gave him peace. listening to her heart rhythm gave him comfort, and life to his dead soul.Meanwhile, Alice, who was still a little disoriented after waking up, finally relaxed because sh
Alice continued to stare outside the window, but the smile Devon wanted to see didn’t return to her face. She was in a daze, like something was in her mind weighing her down. This caused him to be a little concerned.They drove until, and they got to what looked like a forest, with many tall trees on each side of the road. It was quiet as they drove, and the road was long. The more they drove, the more the buildings grew lesser, till there were no cars or houses and even people seen.After driving along the road for almost ten minutes, they finally emerged in what seemed to be a small town. There were fewer people in the town and no large buildings, only beautiful cottage-like houses. With small shops on each side of the road after. There was a bookshop, a local library and also a small restaurant at an intersection they took and Alice, curious eyes, scrutinized the entire area. She loved how peaceful the whole place seemed.The people there didn’t seem to be a bit curious about why a
They came down from the car and walked into the beautiful mansion. Kace and Lucas trailed behind them, with Doris. Alice remembered her. She knew she was Lucas’ wife.The house had ten floors, and the whole top floor was for Devon alone. There was a flight of stairs that led up to different hallways and also Devon’s floor. Alice felt a little exhausted going up the stairs. The house looked like it was transformed it from an ancient castle into a modern-day castle while keeping the castle-like appearance..Devon swiftly picked Alice up when he saw that she was a little out of breath, taking her by surprise. She couldn’t help but blush and bend her head down in embarrassment, because of the people passing by shocked expressions, when they saw her in Devon’s arms.“I can walk on my own,” Alice whispered, hoping Devon would put her down, but he didn’t answer her and only continued to walk, not minding the shock gasped and gazes of the people around.His eyes went into a haze as he communic
Alice could only blink multiple times at Devon. She didn’t know how to react to what he just said. That wasn’t what she was expecting to hear. She felt her heart palpitating in her chest at his confession of hers. Her cheeks couldn’t hide how she felt as it showed a bright shade of crimson. Alice lowered her head and started fiddling with her fingers nervously.Devon reached for her hands and planted a soft kiss on her fingers. She couldn’t stop him as a spark erupted as soon as they touched. She liked their interactions.“But why you don’t even know me well? We just met,” she asked after some time, raising her head to look at him with confusion.Devon sighed deeply, looking for the right words to explain how he felt to his mate. He wasn’t sure even words could explain it. Was it love?. Would she be overwhelmed if he said he loved her?.“You are my world, my entire life. My world would be meaningless without you,” He said, and this only added to Alice's confusion of why he could say th
All Alice could do was stare at the unfamiliar woman. A warm smile was grazed upon the woman’s face, so she didn’t look like a threat. The woman was tall and slender. She wore a floral dress with colorful patterns. That looked brighter than her pale skin was. A few gray strands were visible in her curly hair..Kace, who turned to recieve a call, came running quickly when he saw Diana talking to Alice. He didn’t want Alice to panic.“Diana!” He called out, gaining the woman’s attention. The woman turned to where the voice came from and the smile disappeared from her face when she saw Kace.“You should have told me you were here,” Kace started when he stood in front of the woman. who looked annoyed to see him, a deep frown was visible on her face.“Can’t I talk to Luna without you butting in?” The woman asked irritably, with a glare on her face.“I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just that Luna isn’t familiar with everyone here. Luna may get startled if approached like that since she is
“What!, did you just say the child of the prophecy?” Kace asked in bewilderment. He heard about the children of prophecy from his grandmother when he was little and he always thought it was just a made up story.“What do you mean?” He added. Still confused.Not all supernatural creatures knew about the children of the prophecy. But not many believed it, as the last Children of the prophecy had died long before many were born into the world. And even fewer people knew about the promises made by the moon goddess to the people. Only The royal family was aware of this, including Devon.“Haven’t you heard about it? It’s not surprising that a dimwit like you is unaware,” Diana scowled as her hair became dark again. "I know about it! I didn't just believe it was actually true" Kace retorted.Alice stared back and forth between Diana and Kace in confusion. She had no idea what they were talking about. This was the first time she heard anything about Child or children of the prophecy. why was
Devon heard the statement and could only roll his eyes at Diana and her assumptions. “Stop with your assumption, diana" he said, and Diana gasped again. This made Devon raise an eyebrow at the dramatic woman.“I think I’m right. It’s about time he does if you have. I'm sure I'm correct this time. I have to be” she affirmed, making Kace look back and forth between his Alpha and feisty Diana.“Is she human too? That is going to be so interesting?” She laughed out loud at her assumption. She anticipated to see how Liam would act with his mate. would he behave similar to Devon. or would he reject her immediately without finding out who she was.She then focused her attention back on Alice. “Have you found out about her” Diana asked Devon, incredulously. “She is one of the children of the prophecy” Alice tilted her head in Diana’s direction in curiosity. Devon’s fingers were still intertwined with hers.“I know Diana,” Devon replied firmly, and he looked down at his mate, who had questions
Alice tucked her hair behind her ear as she waited for Doris’ response eagerly. She knew Devon wouldn’t tell her about what she wanted to know. If he wanted her to know, he would have asked her to follow them to his study. She wondered what they were talking about.“The children of the prophecy?” Doris reiterated, looking at Alice curiously with interest.“I think I heard about that as a child,” she added, trying to remember what it was about.“Why do you want to know about that? It’s just a story told to children,” Doris inquired, trying to figure out where Alice heard about it from.“I’m just curious,” Alice replied, waiting eagerly for what she asked.“Well, from what I remember about. It was written that the moon goddess Selena. will bestow upon the world three powerful children to help win an upcoming war that could destroy both the human world and our world. Without them, the war can’t be victorious,” Diana explained, and Alice listened attentively like a student, nodding her he
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
