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
Devon turned to liam who was standing behind him with the same shocked expression. Joan opened her eyes some seconds later and was just as shocked as them. Was this was the moon goddess was telling her about? How did she do that?. She raised both of her hands up and stared at it then looked down at Alice. Though the wound had disappeared she was still pale. She turned to look at Devon who was staring back at her and then at Alice. Both of them were waiting to see if Alice would open her eyes. They called diana and Lilith in to check on Alice, when thirty minutes passed and she didn't wake up. Devon worry was returning slowly. Liam had to pat his shoulder to calm him down. "I'm not sure how this happened, but this is a really good thing. The wound has totally healed and now we just have to see if she will wake up soon" Lilth said. Diana was staring straight at Joan with curious eyes. Has she discovered how to use her powers yet? She wondered. Diana followed Joan out of the room a while
Devon opened his eyes when he was only a few inches away from Alice's face. It felt magical when he watched how Alicee's eyelashes fluttered before her beautiful graphite gray eyes could be seen.With Alice staring back at him, blinking a couple of times to adjust her eyes with her surroundings, Devon felt he just lifted from hell and was given a second chance to live again.Was it real? Or was he just being delusional because he missed her so badly?"Promise me…?"That soft voice again… her voice caressed his ears like the most beautiful melody. How long since the last time he heard her voice?Devon was in daze, staring greedily at her eyes without even blinking, he was afraid it was only his hallucination and the moment he closed his eyes, Alice would be in her coma state again, unable to talk to him like now.The longer he watched her face, the more overwhelmed Devon became, he even forgot to answer her question.Alice's brows furrowed when she watched how Devon was Surprised to se
"Why don't you want to talk to me? Are you upset" Alice asked in a soft voice."Yes." Devon answered in a low voice."At me?" Alice raised her eyebrows. How could he mad at her when she was the one who got bitten by his beast?. She wanted to wake up earlier but it wasn't possible, till joan arrived. Devon shook his head quickly, when he saw the confused expression on Alice's face. "At myself""Why?" Alice didn't feel sleepy, though the night had gone very late and the moonlight illuminated the room through the window glass."I hurt you. I put you in danger" Devon said in a matter of fact tone."You didn't do it intentionally." Alice tried to reason with him. She snuggled closer toward Devon. Who moved back to avoid her touch."Don't move please…" Devon frowned, he gritted his teeth from seeing surprise on Alice face. He didn't dare to touch her neck or any part of her body, afraid he would add her misery. "I will call Lilith."Devon was about to get off from the bed, but Alice clutc
Devon froze when he heard Alice's words. "What did you just say? '' He asked softly but got no reply from Alice, who had already fallen asleep."How can you love me, when I hurt you. You should hate me and run away from me" Devon mumbled.He tilted his head to look at Alice's sleeping face. She looked so peaceful in her sleep, like she wasn't afraid it would hurt her. He couldn't help but smile.Devok knew then that he could bear it if she suddenly didn't want to be with him. He didn't think he could take it. "I love you too and I will always do love" He whispered in her ear before planting a soft kiss on her forehead….Devon then got up beside her slowly and exited the room. He made her fall fast asleep before leaving.Liam was waiting for him in his study already when he walked in. "How is she?" His brother asked."Fine" He replied simply before walking to the couch and taking a seat opposite Liam, who was staring at him with curious eyes."I can't believe this is happening to us. I
Diana was being generous enough to bathe Alice personally, even though Lilith and Joan would be more than willing to do it for her, coupled with the witch lame excuse to chase Devon out of the room was enough reason to question her true intention.There was a fleeting surprise passed her eyes before she resumed her brilliant smile and sat down on the bed beside Raine."I want to know if you met Selene, did she tell Joan what to do ?" It wasn't a baseless question, Diana had her own speculation about how Alice could recover so fast, but she needed to ask a few questions to confirm it. She was more than sure that Joan couldn't use her powers based on what Alice had told her about her, before she fell unconscious. So how all of a sudden?."I met with both of them.." Alice replied."Explain exactly what happened" Diana said curtly and helped Alice to take off her pink pajamas."When Devon bit me…"Alice cringed with the memory when the beast had bitten her, the pain was unbearable and for a
Alice could see the flash of surprise and what she thought was sadness in the witch's eyes, though it only lasted for two seconds before she regained her composure and resumed her haughty behavior.Shrugging her shoulder, she spoke icily. "Who is the person"Alice really wanted to know why Diana looked sad or was she mistaken. Of course she was, Aside from her bad attitude, couldn't she just reply nicely and show some normal human emotion at least once in a while?No, of course she couldn't. First, she was literally not a human and second, Alice doubted, even in which circle Diana could consider as normal. She has a poisonous tongue and hateful speech."Okay, you are done!" Diana wiped Alice with a dry towel before she walked toward her closet and took out another pajamas."I don't want to clean your lower body, do it yourself or ask Devon to do it for you." Diana said as she gave the pajamas that she had retrieved from the closet to Alice."Why are you helping me only half way?" Alic
What's going on?" Devon stopped in his tracks when he saw Alice turn away the moment she saw him come in. "Why? Are you hurt?"It was clear to see that something was bothering her and he didn't know what it was. He tried to move close to her but she only took two steps back."No, don't come near me…" Alice whined as she covered her face.While Devon was trying hard to think what was the reason for Alice's distress, his mate was thinking about the Ugly appearance." love, don't scare me…" Devon took another step closer and Alice couldn't avoid him as her back had hit the wall behind her."Don't look at me…" Alice spoke rigidly."What?" Devon was unsure about what he heard. "Why? What happened?""I am ugly…" Alice was almost crying when she said this. What if this was how she would look permanently?"What?" This time Devon was genuinely confused, he couldn't figure out why suddenly Alice came up with that nonsensical thought? "No, of course not."Devon took another step closer and now t
