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
"Alice!" Devon called out her name out of frustration, how could she threaten him like that? Did she forget already about what he did?"I don't want you to treat me like this!" Alice wrapped Devon's huge frame with her arms as she carefully placed her head on his chest. "I don't want you to avoid me…""Did you forget what I have done to you?" Devon still didn't reciprocate Alice's hug, he kept his arms beside his body, yet he let Alice clung on him.Now, both of them were sitting on the cold bathroom floor, seemingly no one from them wanted to go to the warm bed, just a few steps away from there."No, of course not. That was very scary, I thought I would die." Alice blurted out the truth.Devon's eyes darkened and turned even more rigid than a second ago. He knew that he almost killed her, how he would forget the feeling when he just regained his control over his beast and found his mate was bleeding in his arms. He was dumbfounded and even didn't know what to think.His mind tried t
No it can't be…" Alice was astounded as her mind turned blank. Then a sudden rush of realization attacked her.Now, she couldn't possibly think about Devon, without him not knowing. No! She thought about him all the time… how could she possibly stop this?. She had been thinking out loud inside her mind safely for the last twenty years of her life. This was so mortifying because Devon would know every bit of her thought."Yes." Devon smirked, his mood really got better upon seeing his mate fluttered expression."This is so embarrassing…" Alice bit her lips while looking at him in horror. She was always thinking about Devon when they were already so close like this and made a mental note about his habit, but now she couldn't do that.Alice has to admit that some of her thoughts weren't appropriate.Like; how handsome he was, how beautiful those eyes and how she liked it when he kissed her… No!"I don't need to read into your mind to know that." Devon laughed, his eyes sparkled under th
"Give me a good reason for that!" Devon asked Diana through his gritted teeth.The Alpha really wanted to take her back to their own territory, but the witch kept making everything difficult for him.And now, what would be the reason for her to keep Alice in this now dangerous city?. He wasn't sure what was what anymore, anyone could be a black witch or shapeshifter, which could harm Alice.The thought made Devon's eyes turn grim."Control yourself would you. She is right in the living room, or do you want your beast to attack her again" Diana pointed out. He could hear Alice excited chatter with her new friend Joan. Diana was right he didn't want to scare her in any wayKace, who was in the room staring back and forth at them, stiffened. He wondered if one day Diana would get her neck snapped by Devon, she was getting bolder with each passing day, now that she was back to her beautiful appearance. He could see a frown settled on Devon's face.Like her usual self, Diana didn't care or
"I'm curious to know what the deal is, Diana ?" Devon leaned over as he asked the witch."It is the deal between me and her, so you don't have to know about it."Diana said sternly and rested her elbow on the arm rest as she intertwined her fingers together. She was now seated on one of the chairs in the study. "If you don't believe what I am saying, go ahead and bring her to your territory, this time she might sleep and never wake up again. I'm sure you would want that"It was a warning, a threat, but Devon knew there was the truth in Diana's words and he couldn't take it for granted. A frown settled on his face because he knew he had to put up with her whether he liked it or notSeeing her mate almost burst into anger, Alice put her hand on his clenched fist as she smiled at him. "We don't have to go back to sparrow city, I love it here"Devon stared intently at his mate as he tried to compose himself before he nodded and spoke curtly. "Alright."Devon reached out his hand as he gat
The kiss had started out to be a soft kiss but soon escalated, when Alice kissed Devon back. He slowly gave in and deepened the kiss, startling his mate a little. His tongue slowly invaded her mouth and this sent tingle through her whole body. The way he kissed her was similar to that night at the lake before things took a dark turn…Alice didn't want to think about that as she knew Devon could read her mind, but Before she could reciprocate his vigor he broke the kiss. His whole body ahd stiffened. Alice quickly got up in a sitting position when he noticed this. Devon had moved a few spaces away from her already, which made her frown a little."Devon" She called out his name softly but got no response. Alice couldn't take it anymore. She got up and suddenly drew him into a tight hug."Why are you acting this way again, I know you want to… kiss me too" She broke the hug and stared deep into his eyes. "Tell me you don't want to and I will leave you be" She said in matter of fact tone
Devon looked back at Alice and nodded. Kace looked a little skeptical about the Alpha's decision to take Alice with them. "But Alpha I don't think it's safe for her" Kace voiced out his worries to Devon, who had his thinking face on."I don't think it's safe to leave her here either. Have you forgotten what happened here at the pack." How could Kace forget the incident that almost made him pass out with shock. He was so surprised when he entered into the Alpha's room to find a man trying to kill their luna. "I will get the car ready" Kace said and Devon nodded."I will meet you at the parking lot in ten minutes" Devon entered back into the room. Alice was still sleeping peacefully without a clue of what was going on. He felt sorry for having to wake her up. "Alice" He called her name softly but got to response. Devon sat on the edge of the bed and reached out slowly to caress her lovely face.His action made her stir in her deep slumber and some seconds Later, her beautiful eyes flu
Earlier…Just as Kace was about to go and get the car ready, Devok stopped him through the mind link.[Kace][yes Alpha][Call Lucas and tell him to get our men ready. I don't trust Dean][Ok Alpha, but what about the Luna. I don't think it's safe for her, if a fight is going to break out. There might be blood shed][I'm not changing my decisions Kace, we are taking her with us][But Supreme Alp—]Just before Kace could protests about his worries, Devon cut off the mind link. "The Alpha is just stubborn" Kace muttered in an annoyed tone as he took out his phone and called out Lucas to tell him what Devon had instructed.Devon didn't know why, but he had a feeling something was wrong with the dean situation. The black witches had attacked Dean's pack the first and he was the last person to him report about it, which wa overly odd. This gave Devon a red flag something was definitely happening he just hoped it wasn't what he was ssuspecting. Just as Devon as suspected, Dean was a trait
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
