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
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
