Lance"Zara, be reasonable, you can't be this stone-hearted about this," I told her in despair almost about to beg her to give me anything even though hint on how I can break the damn curse."Lance I told you all I can. You wasted your time coming here cuz there is nothing I can do about it"She expressed coldly, her facial expression maintaining the stoic poise."My mate is seriously sick, does that mean anything to you?" I took the emotional blackmail channel. However, it seemed that was a wrong move judging from the angry glare she gave me."Get the fuck out of my coven, Lance," she points to the door beginning to seeth with anger at me "You have the guts to tell me that? How is it my fault that your mate is sick? You brought this upon yourself and if you ask me I will say she was indeed very foolish to want to take the nemesis of your misdeed on herself" She spat and dropped down on her thronelike chair, throwing off her face from me."Zara, what do you want me to do to make you co
" I will do everything I can to help you, Lance, I assure you that I hate those creatures and would do my best to help you crush them in any way I and my people can" he promised."I feel indebted to you, Vladimir" this was looking too good to be true. After I finished telling him how I thought he could help me. He didn't protest but simply agreed just like that without no condition and now I'm even more worried than I came.The vampires never do anything for anyone for free without any terms and he just wants to help me? But I didn't ask him. I want to believe that he was taking a turn for the better just the way I have over the years. But in case of tomorrow he requests something I can do, I will. All I need right now is aid against the witches.I took an abrupt swig of the drink in my hand and looked up, checking the ancient looking wall clock on the wall, to discover it was already very late, and I have to get to the nearest hotel to sleep tonight so that by morning, I would be ab
Harley "WHAT?!" I shouted and ran to the door to meet Lance and Sonia "What happened?" She seemed agitated and shuffling about her body quivering "I don't know, I can't tell. We were still in the temple and then I asked them to gather to a place so I can see them properly" she stopped and sniffed as a tear ran down her eyes "I found out she was missing. We have searched every part of the temple and still" "It's okay, Sonia" Lance patted her shoulders "I will join the other now, you two stay here don't go anywhere" "I have linked with Grey, he is out to the south searching, Oh, Lance please you people need to find her" He shook his head and ran out of the room leaving the both of us. I was transfixed to the spot unable to do anything but stare at the ground refusing to acknowledge the fatigue that was building up my body. They had to find that pup and I hope it isn't what I was thinking at all "Harley I'm sorry I caused all this__" "C'mon Sonia, stop come and sit down" I guided
The new next morning I woke up feeling stronger than and healthier and was somewhat happy that the medication I took yesterday had been very potent. I wasn't fooled though by thinking it would last. It might just be like the other ones I have been taking. It would just work a few days and more like counter work."Good morning Babe," Lance said getting my attention to him.I smiled smokily and faced him. His hair was tied at the ends as he looked at me. "You have hair all over you" I informed him jokingly.His countenance fell his hand going up to try and tame the wild locks "You should have said that mildly" he whipped shyly.I chuckled "And risked not seeing your reaction? Never" I beamed and touched his arm fondly "You still look good anyway, don't fear""How are you feeling this morning?" he asked ignoring my assessment."I feel...nice at least for now" I stretched and flipped my legs throwing the cover to sit up. Laying down is fast becoming a habit that I don't intend to nurse a
Four months later. Times passed like a haze with different pack activities going on. Training resumed as the witches stopped attacking. I experienced two to three times of episodes from the curse and resumed going to my workshop fully. Things have to an extent been going smoothly. I kept my fingers crossed that maybe everything was finally coming to an end and maybe I would be healed. Little did we know know that the witches had this all planned just like Lance has been afraid of. He said a long time ago that he knew how cunning the witches can be which was why he didn't want to or never stopped border patrol even after I asked him to slow down. Today I had woken up very in the middle of the night because I had a very terrible nightmare and somehow I knew that there was more to the nightmare than just a mere reflection. My nightmares usually come to pass especially ones like the one I just had. I couldn't sleep afterward and had to slip out of the room, downstairs to the kitchen
"I have to make sure the entire place is safeguarded and no one is affected again."That was Lance. He came in later and was still having fit, even when he saw me awake. I saw the relief in his eyes but the same as the rage in him. I understand what he was going through. These witches can't just come and disrupt our pack activities just because they feel they can anytime they want.Lance has been having mercy on them. But now I feel like it was time we showed them that we were strong but was just trying to be reasonable so that what happened before won't repeat itself again."What do you think we should do?" Grey asked, sitting by the left part of the room with Sonia on his lap. I found that very amazing considering how much she would weigh at this point."I would have to impose a curfew for now" he began his hand going to his waist "We would improve on the barrier and face those that are already in the pack. Something tells me they would be hiding in the mountain."I believe that too
I felt myself falling, and then all of a sudden I stopped moving. "Harley!" I tore my eyes open only to see Gray at the door, his hand pointed at a particular direction. Then in the speed of light, he was at me, sending both of us crashing to the ground, with him coming on top of me. I was still startled from both the shock of almost meeting my death and him showing up. He eased me off him, stood abruptly, and picked up something I didn't see. "Cease that minute or I will send you back to Seoul!" he boomed and persistently oriented to the same direction. "Hahahahhaha" the witch laughed, "You think you can stop me?" the wind blew around us vigorously, and then it stopped at once "I will make sure Lance pays for what he did to us" "You will do nothing, " Grey challenged her, his eyes spitting fire. I have never seen him that angry afore, surprising me as I stared at him, now from the ground. "We will see" With that, there seems to be a whirlwind, and then like it started, the wi
"What?!" How can they say such? And why would they even inform me in the first place? They have been attacking for a long time and haven't given me any time why would they suddenly start giving me a hint as to when they would come?"This is fishy. I smell something awkward" I said my thought aloud."I think so too" Grey concurred "The witches never give notice before an attack." he confirms my fear "I think it's a detour deception" He forged on "They want you to think they are coming in three days and prepare for that, then boom they attack tomorrow or next"That was exactly what I thought. I started strolling in the direction of the terrace. This is becoming daunting. I swore a long time ago not to fight in a long time to come but the witches are really getting on my last nerve. I'm working hard to be on their good side so that they would lift the curse that was ravaging my mate but that doesn't mean I'm a fool or don't know what I'm supposed to do."We would prepare Lance. This is
