"Jeez, must you say that?"I asked Sonia, the moment the door closed after Lance."Girl, you are bedridden""I'm not dead. You said it...bedridden, besides I'm fine, see?" I spread my arms, which flattened back to my side the next minute. I was beginning to feel the heat but I won't let her see that.I have to fulfill my duty to my mate even though I'm sick. I want to believe that Lance would never cheat on me but if there should be anything that would make him to, I didn't want sex to be one of them...even though this morning's own was as a result of my horny hormones."You are trying to conceal it but I see it that you are...feel ill. Look at your palette""Please...can I have my rest now... Don't worry you can go do whatever you want but bicker me to death thank you" I shooed her away and dragged the covers up.She ignored me and came to the closet, I followed her with my eyes to see what she was up to this time. She sort through the clothes until she produced a big cardigan which
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
"The witches are at the castle with Vladimir" Grey told me, offsetting my balance. "What?! What are they here for? Did he tell you?" I asked, my breath hitching. If they were here for war, then I am truly fucked. At this point, I'm at the brink of losing my mind over my face, I can't tolerate any more adversities. "He said they are here for a truce" "Truce? The witches?" I looked about the hall to make sure no one was eavesdropping or nearby to hear what we were saying. "I can go and bring them here. Lucas said they had come last night but he didn't want to bother us until he confirmed they didn't use that as a camouflage" "They slept in the castle?" My eyes widened in rage. The witches are not allowed in my castle. Whatever their aim is for coming, they belong in the bush, not in a place like mine. "They left for the hotel nearby. Lance, I think they are here for good. From what Lucas said, he overheard Vladimir threatening Zara that he would make her suffer just like her peopl
When I reached the hospital, I went straight to meet my friends who happened to be in the room where Sonia was still with her baby. But this time instead of the happiness that was on her face when I left her earlier on when she gave birth, her face had gloom etched in them. She waved me to her when I came in and encumbered me in a long hug "I'm so sorry Lance, we tried everything to stop her but she wouldn't listen to us. I would have done more but you know Harley" I took her hand and kissed her knuckles "it's not your fault... I have cleared the mess. I just hope she recovers. Then this would be in the past" "What did you do to her?" Grey and Mike chorused. I exhaled thinking about the scenario that just took place at the dungeon before I came "I killed her after making sure she suffered. I tortured her with whips, and saying it right now makes me want to feel the joy I felt from back there" No one said anything, just nodded their head. Nonetheless from their faces, I could tell
LanceI rushed into the hospital shouting at the top of my voice for all the workers, who ran to me taking Harley from me. Grey was by my side tears gathered in his eyes. I have never cried as much as I cried today after she passed out."Doctor you have to do whatever it takes to restore my mate I beg you," I tell the pack doctor. Dorcas was weakened from the charm she had to pull off at the battleground, if not she would have been the right person to do this."Alpha, I will do everything I can to help our Luna if I can, I promise," He said and closed the door after him, keeping me out."Lance!" Petra ran out from another part of the hospital reminding me that they were still here. "What happened? where is she?"I couldn't say anything to anyone right now. I needed to hurt someone anything for what just happened."Grey what happened?" she asked Grey when I wasn't forthcoming with any answer "Someone say something!""I think we lost her" Mike said slowly just walking into the hospital.
The minute she was about to stab me with the sword, I closed my eyes waiting for her to give me the final blow that would take my life but it wasn't forthcoming.Then as if wanted to open my eyes to see what stopped her, something else happen. I was pulled from the ground I was kneeling and elevated to the sky all my strength returning to me.I looked about me in shock, my mouth open, my eyes wide and my hands spread wide. I looked about the battlefield and saw that the dome was now open and standing there was none other than Dorcas in a very complicating posture.She was shinning brightly with her hands pointed to me, her eyes bearing fire in them.I was still mesmerized with what is happening until I began descending until I reached the ground, my feet touching down a few feet from the wide-eyed Elena."Harley" She mouthed in awe.I was looking about my body to notice that I was no longer feeling any pain. It looked like I have been totally healed, with my body surging with so much
Harley After I saw the blood on my hand, I knew that Lance was going through something and needed my help. I didn't know how I was going to help him, I just knew I had to go there to help him in any way that I can. I had told my friends and they had tried to convince me not to go on, insisting that I don't leave. I was more than grateful that Petra had arrived so she could stay with Sonia, while I go in search of Lance to see if he was still okay. After what seemed a futile exchange with them, including Sonia trying to blackmail me emotionally into staying, I had left them my legs leading me straight to the Northern part without much resistance or search. When I entered the battlefield I was nearly overcome by the stench of blood mixed with sand oozing from the field. I stood at the entrance, scanning my eyes about until they landed in the familiar body of Lance swaying to whatever Zara had done to him. Before I knew it, I was running straight to him meaning to stop her from hurt
"Harley what are you doing stop it this minute go away!" I told her shaking my head vigorously as she stood and faced Zara."Awwn, isn't she so sweet Lance, look she wants to take your bullet" Zara riled, clapping her hands. By now the others have stopped crowding closer to see us. Grey ran to my side in concern but I pushed him toward Harley "You have to stop her I beg you" I saw the uncertainty on his face."Zara, you promised you will not hurt us, why are you doing this? I thought we had an understanding?" Harley forged flailing her hands about."I made no such stupid promise Harley, I wouldn't be so foolish as to say that after what Lance did to me and my people" Venom was laced in her voice as she uttered it."Please Zara we can settle this without any fracas" Harley reasoned at the adamant ZaraZara started rolling her hands about once more "I think I have overstayed my welcome Harley, it's time for your Lance to pay for what he did" she was talking and still rolling her hands a
LanceLooking at the way Harley was holding unto that baby, I experience a kind of contentment and joy I never knew I could. I was amazed at how beautiful and perfect the baby looked in her arms.When she asked me to hold him I nearly passed out with fright. Me, hold a baby. I have never held a baby and the very notion of holding one was flabbergasting. For once I wanted to decline but the look on her face doesn't brook any argument so I had to take the pup in my arm.It was incredible the way I felt once the child was in my arm and Harkey was close to me still cooing to him. I imagined what it would be like for us to have our child, which made my heart soar when I thought of the fact that he or she was on the way already.My eyes instinctively found hers smiling when I saw her touch her stomach earlier on, thinking how our baby would baby look."Touch him like this" She had instructed me on how to tweak the rosy cheek which I did, eliciting a hint of a smile from the little one. Wow,
It has been a week now since the letter was sent to the witches but there was yet to be any response from them. I had rushed back that day to stop the letter from going, being that I have a new resolution, only to find out that the omega had sent it. Ever since then, I have been training seriously and waiting for them. It happened just as we had envisaged. The witches didn't attack as they had promised. Three days have passed and now it's the seventh day. Nothing. "Lance, are you going to stand there doing nothing or come to help me button up my dress?" Harley whined from where she is standing struggling with her morning dress. "Harley, don't you think this dress is too big for you? " I taunted her to see her blush through the mirror. I relished in seeing her blush whenever I riled her up. She soon regained her feistiness, swung her hair, and huffed out loudly "Say all you can Lancelot, you can't piss me off this morning" she applied a rouge lips gloss on and picked her bag from t
"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
