If Devon continued to lash out his emotion toward Diana now, he would lose Alice in the process and it wasn't something worth risking. There was still time to save her, if only he would let go of the tight grip on her neck.With a brief glance of the pool of blood on the ground, Devon released Diana's precious neck from his deadly grip."Something happens to her and you will suffer fate worse than death." Devon stated grimly.The only reason Devon Diana linger around after what she did and said, was because her life still has value for Alice.Diana rubbed her sore neck and cleared her dried throat while gasping for air, greedily breathing to fill her empty lungs.After she felt slightly better, Diana moved closer toward Alice in Devon's arms.The witch touched the wound and chanted in strange language, a spell. But, after a few seconds, her brows creased unsightly.Her eyes widened as they traced back to Devon's eyes which were still completely rex, horror filled them. "oh no, You al
A week passed since Devon was out of reach and three days for lucas along with Kace to not attend many important meetings regarding to the pack.Jack, one of Devon's most trusted men was pointed out as the person in charge when the three of them couldn't be reached.Many people in the company had known him, though his role wasn't as significant as Kace, most of the employees respected him to some degree.However, the upper echelon didn't have the same thought, as they kept demanding to know where Devon was, or at least they could talk to his Beta.As the decision maker, Devon's presence was very important, so how could he disappear for days without announcement?. The black witches were still loose.This fact stirred up dissatisfaction from some of the shareholders and also an opportunity for Jared, who everyone thought was long gone to start a fire.It had been three days since Alice had lost conscious because of the mark that Devon forced on her.Lilith, the healer in Devon's pack, h
"I first noticed a wound on your right hand, the day when Alice passed out at the lake. It was an odd one, and since you are from the royal family I thought it couldn't be silver. It had to be something more, I suspected it to be wild sprout, but it was hard to come by in the human world. Which only left the option of wolfbane. I should have taken it more seriously and done something in time. This wouldn't have happened" Diana blurted out everything.The witch thought the Lycan would at least roar or tried to strangle her to death because of what she did, but to her surprise, Devon only glared at her before he resumed staring worriedly at his mate.At least, if he was about to go berserk, Diana would help him to let out some steam. She preferred the angry Devon rather than this kind of Devon, who was staring blankly and lifelessly at his mate, as if his spirit had evaporated into thin air.Devon didn't know how to respond to that information, as he remained silent as though he heard no
10 DAYS EARLIER…Liam caught Joan just in time as she fell to the ground. Her wondrous scent was still invading his senses, but he was in complete control now. "Your majesty!" Tyler and Gladys stood in the hallway, staring a Liam and his mate.Liam ignored them and carried in mate swiftly in his arms. Before turning away and heading towards the stairs. Tyler went and Gladys trailed after him hurriedly.The king carried his new found mate, to his room and placed her slowly on the bed. Her face looked so calm and relaxed, that he wanted to caress it. But the idea of her freaking out again if she woke up discouraged him.He barely drew a chair close by to the edge of the bed and sat on it, staring at her curiously."Who is she" Came his deep, cold voice. Gladys who was behind Tyler quickly walked forward to answer the king. Her head was bowed down slightly to show a sign of respect."She is Joan, your majesty. A human girl. Who I helped because she needed work" Gladys explained."And h
Joan was about to follow Liam in, when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest. The pain made her slump to the ground, as she held her chest it was becoming unbearable for her to handle. All of a sudden she was transported back to the lake where she had met with Alice and the moon goddess and the scene before her eyes horrified her. She saw a big white wolf looking creature onto of Alice with it's long canine sank in her neck. "Alice!" She screamed out loud, as the strange pain in her body spread all over…Liam ran quickly with full speed to see what was wrong with mate. As soon as he got there, he could see joan slumped to the ground, with her hand on her chest. "Joan! What's wrong" Liam was trying to lift her up but she only screamed out louder in pain.Liam had no idea what was wrong with her or what to do to ease her pain. He felt like a blade was being pierced through his heart, as he looked at her face contured in pain and tears escaping her eyes.Just as he was about to
Jack, was on his way to the house, after taking to Lucas, who was already on his way to Sparrow City, When he got a call from the head guard, lucious. "Jack, you need to get over here quickly!" "Why what's wrong! Is the house getting attacked again!" Jack asked in a panicked tone. The black witches had been randomly attacking the packs around the Lycans territory. So he was afraid they would try to attack the former pack house again."No! It's not that. You just have to get over her. The king his here""What are you talking about, what do you mean the king is here." Lucas exclaimed with surprise."Yes. He arrived about ten minutes ago. Looking for the Supreme Alpha. I'm not sure what to tell him" "Just go in there and stay with him till I arrive. I just turned up at the gate and will be there in a minute" Jack ended the call and got out of the car quickly."Your majesty!" He said as soon as he saw Liam standing in the hallway with Tyler, the head guard and a girl which he didn't rec
By the time Joan opened her eyes again, they were already on the plane heading to Snowspell village.She felt really warm and then she realized there was a hand wrapped around her waist. It was Liam and his eyes were closed. Joan didn't move away and only stared at him. She really saw his face as they slept close next to each other on the bed. His lips, his jaw, his nose… his face rendered her speechless. He was just breathtaking…Liam's eyes fluttered open and stared right into Joan's. She was slightly surprised at first, but it only lasted for a few seconds.Something kept telling her to move away from him. but she couldn't tear her eyes off his intriguing blue eyes.Liam slowly lifted up his hand and caressed her face tenderly.When he touched her, Joan almost flinched as her heart beat thuddered loudly in her ear. "I thought you would never stop staring" He whispered, his warm breath caressing her face.Joan's mind was screaming at her to 'move away, are you crazy. He is strange
Joan found herself near the lake where she had met Alice and was immediately overjoyed. "Alice!, Alice!" She yelled running around to find her. And thankfully she saw Alice sitting on the bench near the lake.Alice turned slowly to see joan running towards her. "Alice!" Joan quickly ran to Alice and gave her a tight hug. Alice eyes grew wide slightly by Joan's actions."I so glad to see you!" Joan said as she broke the hug."I saw everything that happened, I'm on my way okay". Surprise was evident on Alice's face."How– why" Alice stuttered. "I don't know what happened, but I saw everything. And it turns out Liam is Devon's brother. We are on our way to Snowspell village right now to see you." Joan reached out and held Alice's hands."How long has it been" Alice asked. She didn't know what time or day it was, she just woke up there."About a week now" Joan replied."A week!, Devon must be worried!" Alice face was etched with complete worry. She knew Devon was definitely blaming himse
