"Joan." She heard him call her name softly and froze. Her heart started to waver, and she could feel his eyes on her. Joan closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. She dropped what was in her hand and slowly turned to look at him. He was no longer sitting down but instead standing a few feet away from her. The way he stared at her. why was he staring at her like that? It made her head beat frantically in her chest. She was still so much affected by this man she realised. "Yes," She finally managed to say in a really low voice. He took a step forward, and she swallowed. She couldn't take a step back because the kitchen counter was behind her. Liam stopped right in front of her and just continued to stare, which only made her heart race more. Why was he acting this way all of a sudden? He moved closer to her, and she held her breath as he slowly reached out her whole mind in turmoil, wondering what he was trying to do. "What are you doing!" She said out loud when he was so close to
"I'm leaving," Lilac answered him coldly. "What do you mean you are leaving?" Johnathan walked up to her, held her arm, and turned her to look at him, stopping her from what she was doing. "I'm sorry," he immediately apologised, but Lilac refused to look up at him. She was hurt and angry, and even though she didn't want to leave, she still needed to do something. "I'm sorry, Lilac, please look at me." He apologised again in a soft voice, which Lilac couldn't resist. She slowly looked up at her mate and sighed. He looked really sorry. She shouldn't have acted so childish, but he made her react this way. She sighed again, and her hand slowly travelled to his face. Johnathan eyes closed when she slowly caressed his face. It was so soothing. How could he ever say he didn't need her help? he regretted saying that to her. Her presence alone soothed him in a way. He couldn't live without her. He opened his eyes slowly to look at her, and his hand slowly left her arm and travelled to her wais
Joan, whose body was on fire as she felt his hot breath on her skin, slowly looked up at him, and their eyes locked. The protest, which was at the back of her mind telling her this wasn't right, disappeared in agiffy, leaving her completely yearning for him. yearning for his lips on hers. yearning for his touch on her skin. it was really hard to think straight when they were this close and desire had clouded her mind. "This isn't right." She was finally able to say in a whipser that went unheard by Liam. He couldn't hold back a much longer, and his wolf was in utter delight that they had their mate those close and never wanted her to leave their arms. His wolf purred in joy but his canines. they ached too badly. "Mark her! Mark her!" The voice kept yelling in his head, and gums ached even more. Joan, who was looking deep into his eyes, couldn't help but gasp when his eyes suddenly changed from their beautiful blue to the colour of complete red. she knew his eyes could change colour b
"Why do you keep humming that sound? it's stuck in my Brain because of you" A beautiful red-haired woman with the most astounding pair of green eyes said as she walked into the room where another red-haired woman was sitting with her hand on Her chin. "it's stuck in mine, too."The woman said in the reply as a smile appeared on her face. "How was your outing?" "it turned out better than I expected," the beautiful woman said, causing the smile on the second woman's face to widen. Hazel made her posture right and turned to look at her friend, who she had been awaiting her return. "You do know I can't stay locked in here forever right? I have to go, " Hazel said, her demeanour completely changing. The smile on her face disappeared like it was never there. The beautiful woman laughed a bit and took off her cloak, her eyes never leaving Hazel's. It seemed like Hazel was somewhat amusing to her and she was waiting for her to show such a reaction and it worked. "Oh Hazel, you make me wond
"So you have to mark me?" Joan said under her breath, her eyes on her breakfast that she had barely touched and had turned cold. Who would have thought she would be having this conversation with her "Mate". It was a really weird conversation, and she couldn't even look up at him. "Is it painful?" She asked out of nowhere, taking Liam by surpise. "What!" "Is it painful...if you don't mark me?" She said in a low voice and glanced at Liam, who had been staring at her the whole. He, too, hadn't touched his breakfast. who could eat in such a situation. The only reason Joan was asking was because of what Alice had told her in the past and what she had read in the grimoire. But she wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth. "Painful isn't how I would describe it." Liam finally said something. Even the thought of marking her made his wolf growl. "How would you describe it?""Unbearable," Liam breathed out, and Joan swallowed. She finally raised brown eyes to look at him, and Liam was the one
"We don't have any more time to waste. He has to mark her." Diana said, a frown on her face. Selene sighed, unsure of when Diana's character had worsened or had she always been like this. But if she wasn't like this, it would be off. "Well, say something. Since you always go on and on about fate. isn't it his fate to mark her?" "it is," Selene replied, as she touched her crystal ball. Diana's eyes slowly drifted to the crystal ball to look at what Selene was seeing, and she scoffed. "Coraline?" "Yes, but she isn't the same Coraline you remember. she is different now. stronger. She is a dark witch but similar to a white witch, " Selene explained as she walked away from her crystal ball. She didn't want Diana to see more than that and act on impulse like she always did. "How is that possible?" "She has gone far in both white and dark magic, but forbidden magic is different. it's forbidden for a reason. " Diana almost rolled her eyes. if there was an award for beating around the Bus
"What should I do, Devon? I think she hates me." Liam, who hated using a phone and preferred mind link, said to Devon through a call. He had tried to mind link Devon multiple times but it seemed like his brother was too busy with his "Supreme Alpha" issues to answer him, he had no choice but to use the cellphone Tyler had thought him to use when they both came to the human world months back. Liam could hear Devon sigh at the other end of the line. He should have called Lilac, she understood him better but she would only use it as an opportunity to make fun of him. "Have you told her how you feel?" Devon said, already tired of Liam. "How should I do that?" Devon almost ended the call but decided to stay calm because of his Luna that was standing close to him. "Just tell her how you feel, Liam. it isn't hard. be sincere." Liam sighed. It was easier said than done. "I will call you later and send my regards to Alice," Liam said before ending the call. "Just tell her how you feel. i
"What!" "Mark me," Joan said again. She looked completely serious, and this only made Liam more confused than ever. "You said it yourself that it's unbearable, and I'm your mate. or would you rather reject me?" Joan said, her eyes searching Liam's face for an answer. she knew her words would shock him, but she didn't intend to be around the Bush anymore. She wanted to tell him how she felt. "Joan, are you sure you are alright?" Liam asked in a concerned voice that made Joan sigh. "Yes, I'm fine. Are you going to mark me or not?" Liam had no idea the response he was going to give her. it was like she was a completely different person than she had been in the kitchen... what warranted her to be this way? Did she meet... Selene! "Did you speak with the moon goddess?" Liam said, a bit of annoyance laced in his voice. "That doesn't matter," Joan replied, trying to switch the direction of the topic. It was hard for her to even ask for something like this in the first place. Her heart
Joan turned to look at Liam, who was fast asleep beside her... she couldn't even bring herself to wake him up and tell him about what had just occurred... she got up from the bed and walked straight to the balcony of the room. Her heart was still racing like crazy... the thought that Hazel was still out there and definitely planning her revenge made her feel sick... She stood there for a while and let the night wind blow towards her... what was she going to do? How were they going to defeat Hazel this time... it had been just a slight chance the last time... "I need to learn more about my powers," Joan muttered and sighed deeply... She was completely wide awake now and knew it was useless trying to go back to sleep after such an event... she closed her eyes and took a deep breath... she had to explore her powers more and put them to good use... The last time when she stopped Hazel, she had trapped Hazel in her own memories... was there a way she could manipulate into what she w
Coraline tapper on Hazel's shoulder, who was seated up with her eyes closed. she looked like she was asleep, but Coraline knew all too well that she wasn't asleep. "Hazel!" she gritted her teeth in rage and tapped on Hazel shoulder, but still didn't get a response. she drew a chair and sat opposite Hazel, waiting for Her to get back... "She must really hate her." Gwen, who was seated across the room with a glass of wine, said.... she took a sip from her wine and smiled... "You know she reminds me of you a lot," Gwen said to coraline... Coraline glared at her old friend. "How does she remind you of me... she is stubborn and doesn't listen. " Gwen chuckled and shook her head... "Yes, like you," She said, and coraline shook her head... "I wonder why she can't just leave them be since the king wants to be with his mate," Gwen added and sighed... "If it happened to you, you would have reacted worse, gwen... she might look strong on the outside, but what happened seemed to have ruined he
A beautiful woman with mesmerising red eyes and dark hair walked into the living room where Coraline and Hazel were seated. Each step she took screamed out elegance and confidence....She had pleasant smile Immediately she saw them seated and said "Coraline" in the sweetest voice even. Even her voice was different, Hazel could tell she was different breed when she saw her. Her difference was screaming at them. She stood out.... "Gwen!" Coraline said and stood up...She gave her friend a warm hug and Hazel could only watch and wonder where the two had crossed paths... Gwen's eyes darted from Coraline to Hazel when they Broke their hug and coraline Immediately introduced the two woman ... "This is Hazel"Hazel stood up and stretched Out her hand for an handshake "Hazel, your name sounds familiar... are you the same Hazel who tried to kill the king here" Gwen said and Hazel felt like she had been slapped on her face...What the hell did she mean! "Oh you must be her!" Gwen looking excited l
"How will I make Epheba's power mine?" Hazel said, and Coraline smiled... "First, we have to find out where she is, but the king may try to stop us from finding it... I'm sure he has people out looking for you. " "The king has no way of stopping me this time!" Hazel said in a firm voice and opened the boom, but coraline dragged the book from her hand and closed it. "Relax or you might ruin everything... what will you do if Epheba overpowers us. we have to think of a plan before acting out like you are right now. calm the hell down. " Coraline's word seemed to work, and Hazel sat down... "How long do we dark and black witches have to live in hiding like we have some infectious disease..." Coraline sighed and shook her head. "I know it's infuriating, but that doesn't mean we have to act rashly. Tomorrow we leave for Rusvil, " She said, and Hazel turned to look at her with slightly wide eyes."Rusvil!" "Yes, Rusvil! the place you were overpowered by those lycans is still a place tha
Johnathan and Lilac walked out of the doctors office hand in hand, and Johnathan couldn't stop himself from smiling... He had never felt like this before in his entire life... The feeling was priceless.. He was shocked at first, but after the doctor had assured him that their baby and Lilac were fine, that shock was soon replaced with a type of happiness that made his heart race so much... it was hard to explain, but his heart raced... He glanced at Lilac and then at her belly that was still flat... their baby was really in their.... He or she would be here in just a few months. They didn't have a lot of time left anymore...He had to choose a room for the baby, what would the baby wear... They had a lot of things to do now... He stopped in his tracks, and Lilac looked at him a bit of confusion in her eyes... "We are not telling anyone yet," She said firmly when she thought that was what he was thinking about... Johnathan looked around to make sure no one was watching before he disappe
Lilac propped herself up with her elbow and sighed. she didn't know how to feel about Jonathan's reaction.. She didn't even know how to feel about what she it... She was shocked as she was, but she couldn't ignore it anymore and thought it was time for him to know instead of hiding it from him any longer. "Are you sure?" Johnathan managed to say after almost a minute, and she shook her head. Lilac shifted and placed her back on the head wood of the bed. "I'm not completely sure, maybe about seventy per cent." She ran her through her hair and sighed again... "I'm sorry... this is really unexpected. " Johnathan immediately took her hand in his."Why are you sorry... you don't have to be... we will see a healer first thing tomorrow, okay?" He said softly. She nodded and laid back down. She was wide awake now staring at the ceiling of the room. She knew Johnathan was wide awake now, too. she had given him something to think about through the entire night. Alice, baby, on the way during a t
"Everyone Seems to be happy right don't they. they have a baby on the way... The king has his luna, but here I am living my life in rage of what they did to me, isn't it funny" Hazel said as she had coraline stood at the balcony of Coraline's house. It was dark outside already and it was a particularly cool evening. "You chose to live in rage, nobody asked you to" Coraline said and chuckled a bit. "if you know you were going to be like this then you should have killed them when you add the chance. you had many chances but you wasted them plotting and extravagant revenge. you lost all your allies because of that and now you are sitting her with me." She continued, not caring if her words were like a knife to Hazel... "if I were one of your allies I would be plotting for a way to kill you and not the lycans. you do know you deserve whatever is happening to you right. So let me put this simply. You are mad because your Ex found his mate and wants to be with her not you. you wasted the
Lilac's eyes slowly fluttered open and was met with the white celing of the guest room of her brothers pack. Where was she? She slowly turned and saw Johnathan still unconscious beside her, and then she saw Lilith, who was slowly dozing off... "Lilith," Lilac said. Her name softly and the healer eyes flew open. She became wide awake. "Your highness!" Lilith said and stood up. She immediately stormed out of the room to call the king and Alpha before Lilac could say anything to her, and Lilac sighed deeply. Johnathan slowly started to stir, and his eyes fluttered open too. "Where are we?" He asked, and Lilac answered,"My brother's pack. " She got up from the bed and Johnathan got up also and followed her out of the room. They met Alice on the way out of her room too... "What about joan" Alice said and then they all saw Joan climbing up the stairs with Devon, Liam and Lilith... "You are all awake" Devon said in relief... Lilac stepped forward a deep frown on her face, she needed immed
Diana carried Lilac to the Queen Lilac immediately stopped crying, causing both women to smile at one another. "When should we start, the king will be back tomorrow morning so we have to leave soon" The Queen said and Diana stood up and disappeared in the back room of her house. she came back with a smaller book in her hands and started to flip the pages till she finally arrived at the page she was looking for. "From what his written here, they will be born once again, but this time each of the children of the prophecy will be mates to the children of the Royal family, so they can be protected... We have to make sure Devon is the first" Diana said and fhe Queen turned to look at Devon who had immediately hid behind his mother when Diana mentioned his name... "its okay darling don't be afraid, Diana here just wants to help you, so you can wait till you find your mate... Don't you want to find your mate" Little Devon turned towards Alice again like he could see her before he nodded and
