Chapter 157Ash, Saphira, Darius and Maximus emerged right into the fight between the Lycans and dark witches. "Well if this isn't the right time" Darius said in an exasperated tone. Saphira's eyes scanned the area till it landed on Lilac and Diana. Johnathan was in Lilac's arms and she was trying to take him away.Ash saw this and the frown on his face deepened. He was looking intently at Lilac when he spotted Jared walking sneakily to where she was. "That's f*cking b*stard" he cursed under his breath and disappeared the next second. Thankfully he was in time before Jared could carry out his plans. He stopped Jared by holding the blade of the knife and he knew immediately it was coated in dark magic. "Go now!" He said to Lilac when she turned to look at him, shock was evident on her face. He saw a while ago how worried she was about Jonathan, but he pushed back that pang of jealousy in his heart. Now wasn't the time for that.Lilac did as he said and when she was gone. He focused hi
Devon and Liam shifted back to their human form after the fight. When they sighted Diana she looked beyond pissed. "Ash and Saphira took Jared '' She said in an enraged tone. Gia also was nowhere to be found, she was the first one to flee. "We need to get him back, we need Information from him!" She added. Liam's eyes scanned the whole area, only ten of the black witches were dead. The dark witches were more powerful to save themselves.The only two who were Alive were trying to flee, but Diana held them down with a spell. "Do you have any idea where they might have taken him" Devon asked and Diana shook her head. Knowing her sister she would probably cover her tracks really well. "First let's head back to the palace and get as much information as we can from them" Liam said. Diana knew her son would be okay. She could just feel it in her gut.When they arrived back at the palace, Liam instructed the guards to take the black witches to the dungeon. They all then proceeded to Lilac's
Chapter 159Lilac's eyes fluttered open slowly, she got up abruptly when she saw the space beside her was empty. Panic immediately set in. “Johnathan!” She yelled his name and started and was about to run out of her Chambers when she noticed the bathroom door was slightly ajar. She rushed quickly into the bathroom and found Johnathan. Standing in front of the mirror. He turned to look at her and Lilac finally breathed out a sigh of relief. “Good morning” Came his deep voice she had been longing to hear. Emotions started to overwhelm her and Lilac didn't even realize tears were escaping her eyes. Jonathan waltzed quickly to her side, worry etched on his face when he saw her tears in her. “What's wrong, are you hurt any wh—--” he trailed off when she hugged her tightly. He was frozen for a moment, and Lilac started to sob silently. His hand slowly reached out and patted her back, he didn't say a word and realized how worried she would have been. Lilac calmed down a little and regained
Little Johnathan ran past her excitedly, there was a light in his eyes that didn't exist anymore. She watched as he ran toward the cottage and then she turned back to look at the man. It was Connor, his father and also… Diana. They both had happy smiles on their faces, it was a rare sight she had never seen before. The couple walked past her hand in hand and headed for the cottage also. The happy moments soon disappeared when she heard Diana scream out her son's name. “Johnathan!” She yelled and ran out of the cottage with Connor. They both were in panic mode. Confusion was evident on Lilac's face. What was going on, where was Johnathan!?.“They found him, Connor! They found my baby!” Diana wailed as she started to look for her son Frantically. Connor looked as distressed as her. Lilac had no idea what was happening. Who found him? Just as she was about to follow the couple, she felt a similar gush of wind overshadow her and she was transported to another place again. This time she
"My father and Diana were able to rescue me from there, but…” Jonathan trailed off. His mind reverted to the past, to what ruined the perfect family he always thought he had. What would have happened if he wasn't taken then? He always asked himself this question.“In the process of rescuing me, dark magic was used on my father. Diana thought she had gotten rid of it but it was far from that” He continued. Lilac had always been curious to know what happened to Connor. Diana just wouldn't talk about it and everyone else decided not to ask.“It started slowly, really slowly. He started to…change. Like he was possessed.” Johnathan remembered the first time they noticed something was wrong with Connor. There had been a town fair and he had wandered off. He and Diana looked everywhere for his father, only to find him almost strangling someone to death. Diana had tried to stop him, but it was as if he couldn't hear her anymore. He would never forget the look in his father's eyes. The complet
Alice woke up with a start a few hours later. She turned to the side of the bed to see that it was empty. How long was she asleep? Where was Devon? She was about to get up to look for him when her eyes met with his. He was sitting at the edge of the bed just staring at her. She tried to read his expressions but detected nothing. Why did she have the feeling that something was bothering him? “Good morning” Alice greeted in a low voice. Devon hummed but still didn't say anything. “Dev…” Alice started but trailed off when Devon stood up and walked out of the room. Was he perhaps mad at her? No! She didn't think that was the case. Did something happen while she was asleep?Alice looked around till her eyes landed on the clock. She gasped when she saw the time, it was almost mid-afternoon already. She was asleep for so long. She got up from the bed and was about to go out of the room to see why Devon left that way, but she almost bumped right into him. He was carrying a tray of food in his
"What!” Alice exclaimed. The flame that had died down in her body suddenly started to burn wildly. If she declined now, she would only be a fool right!, but would it look so obvious if she accepted? She didn't care anymore. “Oka,y” she accepted and Devon smiled slightly. Not the type of smile Alice wanted to see, but they would get there. Alice suddenly felt embarrassed to take her clothes off in front of Devon. It wasn't as if he hadn't seen her naked already. They had done it multiple times, but each time she would get like this. She cleared her throat and tried to gather up some courage. Her hand travelled to her top and she slowly undid the button till she was done. She then took it off slowly. Her eyes were on Devon through the mirror. She could see a glint pass through his eyes, but he didn't act on it and simply continued to stare at her without saying a word. This only made her more nervous. She went for her pants and took them off too, leaving her with only her underwear on.
Liam stood at the balcony of his Chambers watching the night sky in silence. He was in a complete daze and had no idea when Joan walked in. She had been avoiding him the whole day like he was a plague and would use any given opportunity to get away from him. Liam was convinced that she had seen most of his memories. Especially those that involved Hazel. That was one of the reasons he couldn't approach her. He felt guilty. He had been numb for so many years that he wasn't sure exactly how love felt anymore. He was unsure of himself. Would his lice change when the mate bond no longer existed. Joan stood at the entrance of the bedroom, deliberating if she should go in or continue avoiding Liam. She couldn't possibly avoid him forever. He was the king. Maybe she should have asked for her own room, being in the same space as him was clouding her thoughts. There were some memories she had seen that she couldn't speak of, memories that would be stuck with her for life. Memories that were pu
