"Twenty-seven, Twenty-eight... Twenty-nine, " Lilac counted in a low voice as she continued to watch Johnathan in his zoned-out stage. She wondered where he was now. was he seeing a vision again. she couldn't help but worry even though it hadn't even been up to a minute. He had warned her not to touch him when he was like this, so she wouldn't get drawn into his visions like in the past, but it was hard to overlook. Her cell phone rang, gaining her attention, and she immediately picked it up and saw that it was a call from Devon. "What do you want?" Lilac said in a kind of harsh voice. she knew anytime he called something was happening or something was about to happen. most times, it wasn't good things, but things that would only increase her worries... She got up from beside Johnathan and walked away so she wouldn't disturb him. "I just called to ask if you have any idea where Diana might be?" "No, I don't know where she is. Does anyone ever know where she is? what is going on? D
"I came here to see if you were okay," Lilac said in a low voice, her eyes on Johnathan. Why did he keep looking at her this way? "Your Highness," Johnathan said, and Lilac became even more concerned. "Johnathan, " She said, his name softly, and took a step closer to him. This only made him take a step backwards away from her. why was he acting this way? "Did something happen here? I was worried about you. " Lilac was getting concerned now. He felt unfamiliar and not like her Johnathan. It scared her... He took a step towards her, and Lilac was the one to take a step away from him now. "You are not my Johnathan," she muttered, wondering what had happened. He looked just as confused as she was..."How did you get here?" Johnathan asked, and Lilac shook her head, unsure of if she should tell him. Johnathan ran his hand through his hair, slowly realising what was happening. "Am I your mate?" He asked, and Lilac became even more scared and confused. "What did you do with Johnathan?" Lilac
Liam and Joan sat at the back of her house, her head on his shoulder. it was almost sundown, and the last twenty-four hours had been the best time of Joan's life. it felt like a dream... A dream that she never wanted to wake up from. they were finally together and They loved each other... And they were always going to be together. she chose to black out what was to come and the danger that may arise at any time... She just wanted to enjoy the moment while it lasted... "What should we have for dinner?" Joan said in a low voice and tilted her head to look at Liam. he had a warm smile on his face, and it was well contagious because she smiled too... "Anything you want," Liam answered, and she nodded. Anything she wanted... "I'm not hungry. are you?" Joan replied. Even though she was a bit hungry, she lied because she just wanted to stay like this for a few minutes more... "No, I'm not." She wasn't the only one who liked this position. "Do you want to go for a walk then?" Liam added,
"Asleep?" Devon said in disbelief, and Lilith nodded. "Yes, she is asleep. it might just be a reaction to her powers because of the baby... She is fine. you don't have to worry, Alpha, " the healer assured him again, and Devon finally sighed in relief. Everyone left his room, and he lay beside Alice and soothingly touched her face. "You scared me there," He muttered and planted a tender kiss on her forehead and then on her bump. The baby would be here soon. He couldn't wait to meet their tiny one. The thought of it brought a smile to his face. A warm one... Devon was about to get up from the bed so he wouldn't disturb her when he got something similar to a static mind link. Someone was trying to get through to him. but he couldn't hear the person. That meant the person was far away or wasn't close enough. He got off the bed and headed to the door, but he stopped in his tracks he heard his name through the mind Link. [Devon! Are you there?] Devon recognised the voice immediately. It w
Liam finally arrived at the pack with Joan placed safely at his back. Devon and two of his men with Lilith were outside waiting for him. They gently helped him place Joan off his back and then take her upstairs of the room Devon had prepared for them. [She will be fine] Devon mindlinked Liam and the wolf Growled. Devon handed him a new pair of clothes and went into the house to wait for him. "How is she?" He asked Lilith, and the healer looked at him, confused at the phenomenon that was happening all of a sudden. "She is fine. just like the Luna. She is asleep. nothing is wrong with her, " She answered. The children of the prophecy always fascinated her. "If they are both this way, then what about Johnathan?" Lilith said, Devon was already wondering the same things as soon as Liam arrived. "How is she?" Liam said as she walked into the room. his eyes on his mate. "She is fine," Lilith told him to. Liam walked to the edge of her bed and sat down beside her. his eyes filled with worry.
"Start all over again till you get it right," Hazel said and turned away. Her hand glided across the big wooden shelf in front of her till it stopped on a book that piqued her interest. she took it out, and a smile formed on her face. "I found it, you can stop." She brought out the book and placed it on the table in front of her. "This looks nothing like the book." Gemma, a dark witch who stayed with coraline, said. Her eyes scan the normal looking book. "How long have you been using forbidden magic?" Hazel asked as she opened the book, the smile on her face widening. "Many years now. why do you ask?" . " I can sense it coming from the book," Hazel answered... The book was blank, and this only made Gemma more confused than she already was. "But there are not writing. no spells, " She complained, and Hazel chuckled a bit. "Yes, there is. but you can't see it yet. " Hazel stretched her hand and gestured for Gemma to hand her the dagger she always kept with her. Gemma slowly took out the
"Where are we now?" Alice asked as Joan helped her take a , under a tree. she was purely exhausted from walking and wanted to take a nap, , taking a nap wasn't advised in a situation like this. She preferred to rest a little,then they could continue their journey to who knows where. Maybe find someone to help. But they were in the past. "I don't know," Johnathan answered. He had travelled to his own past and wanted to use the opportunity to wander around. Maybe he could find something, and now they were lost in the past. "Do your powers work?" Lilac asked Alice, and she nodded. "Yes, it still works." They all looked up at Johnathan, and he nodded. "Okay, let me try again." He closed his eyes and tried to use his powers, and the next second, his eyes flew open. "It's working!" He exclaimed, and they all anticipated leaving this place. Lilac and joan helped Alice back up and stood close to Johnathan, ready to go back home. it felt like a whirlwind as they were slowly transported away fr
"Sometimes I think about seeing every day," Devon said and poured himself a drink. Liam sighed at the mention of his mother's name. He still thought about her, too. How could he forget what had happened. He was forced to become the king because of it. it still haunted his dreams at night. "If I had stayed that night, she would still he here. Father wouldn't have blamed himself for what happened, " Liam said, and Devon shook his head. "She would never think it was your fault. it was the dark witches. They were to blame, not you. Father just loved her too much, " Devon said. A sad smile appeared on his face when he remembered how much his father loved his mother. They were inseparable even after being together for so long. His father had been beyond distraught when he had returned to Palace and found out that the queen had passed away. He had blamed himself for it and slowly withered away. Liam, who was the eldest, had to step up and oversee the affairs of the Palace. He had no time to
Epheba walked along the beautiful courtyard of Gwen's mansion, it was evening and a smile appeared on her face as she stared at the beautiful flowers that were in the gardener... she moved closer to a white rose and brought her finger close to it and the moment her finger came in contact with the rose it completely withered and affected the remaining flowers in the garden... the smile on her face widened as she stood there for a few seconds staring at what she had done... she had touched it with dark magic and had expected to wither when she did but a small part of herhaf expected something otherwise to happen.... could forbidden magic bring life into something... the sam fingers that she used in touching the flowers she used it to touch the flowers once again and this time the withered flowers immediately started to spring back to life... There was always a difference... there had always been a difference that all dark and black witches knew... She had used white magic to bring the f
lilac and Joan slowly walked into floor Alice was in.... their heart and eyes was filled with so much anticipation as they walked behind kace, the more they inched closer to the room. the more eager they were to see the luna... Kace turned to look at them when they got to the door of the room... "I think the baby is with her right now... she just had a baby a while ago" kace said in a low voice to them and they both nodded... he pushed the door open slowly and a smile appeared on his face when his first line of sight with the luna with the baby cradle in her arms... he entered into the room and gestured for Joan and Lilac to do the same.... Lilac and Joan exchanged looks before they finally walked into the room and Alice finally turned to look at the door to see who it was... a smile immediately appeared on her face when she saw Joan and Lilac... "Hi!" she said excitedly to them and Lilac felt her eyes water up when her eyes fell on Alice and her little nephew... " Alice" Joan said an
"They baby... the baby is coming" Alice said and she gripped Devon's arms... "What!" Devon said and his eyes grew wide... he froze for a few seconds before he immediately mind linked someone, anyone... he wasn't sure who he was mind linking, but he was yelling through the mind link for them to get Lilith over there right now... Devon picked his luna up and carried her quickly out of his floor to the room that he had prepared in the pack For her to deliver the baby... Everything was ready and had been prepared. but the couple weren't prepared... Alice had fear in her eyes as she gripped unto Devon's arm... "Alpha!" Kace said and froze in his tracks when he saw Devon with the luna in his arms... "Get the healer over here quickly... the doctor too... everyone!" Devon yelled at kace and Kace immediately sprang into action... it was something everyone had been waiting and expecting to happen, but now that it was happening it was an entirely different case.... They all went straight into pa
Alice stood in front of a the mirror in her closet, her eyes was on her big baby bump as she stared at how big it had grown because she knew that the big bump that she had carried for over six months would be gone in a few days... a normal lycan pregnancy took mostly four or five months but for her it was different because she wasn't a lycan and everything became mixed up and she was going to have the baby on the seventh months, which was already here... the healer had left a few hours ago and when Alice had asked her about her delivery date for the nth time, she ended up giving Alice the same response she had given her other times "The baby will be here soon luna... you don't have to worry... the baby is healthy" The healer had said and Devon and Alice had sighed in relief for the nth time... Devon had left a while later so she could sleep comfortably but Alice had woken up from her sleep and now she was standing on front of the mirror, a slight smile on her face as she stared at her
"See that wasn't so hard was it..." Gwen said to Felicity as she appeared in the room with the book in her hand.. .. she walked to where coraline wad standing and handed the book to her... "Thank you Gwen... you are such a great help..." Coraline said as she took the book from gwen who took a seat and poured herself a glass of blood, from a new bottle of wine... Felicity stared at the both of them with so much anger in her eyes... but the anger wasn't just at then, but herself also... she had given up the location of the book that lana had entrusted with her because she was afraid to losing her life like Lisa had.... she was a complete coward... "Do you want to know what would have happened if you didn't give this book up... I would have gone to get it myself but I'm not as lenient as Gwen here" Coraline said and inched closer to Felicity who felt a cold shiver run down her spine as Coraline inched closer to her... "I would have killed everyone and made a mark on their body so anyon
When Liam walked into the bedroom of his chambers, he stopped when he saw Joan pacing back and forth... she froze when she saw him before she continued pacing... "we have to warn everyone... we can't keep this to ourselves when their lives might be in danger, " Joan said as she paced back and forth in front of liam... she hadn't been herself since after that day and she couldn't even sleep without having a nightmare anymore... "Calm down," Liam said, and she stopped pacing... "Calm down! you want me to freaking Calm down right now, when I feel like I'm going crazy... my head is about to explode because I don't know what the hell we are going to do and you want me to calm down" How could he ask her to when he saw what she saw or did he have no idea what this could lead to... Liam crossed the space between them, and instead of speaking to her directly, he mind linked her... [Everything will be fine, and if it's not... we will make it fine] He said through the mind link, and Joan felt
"What is next, we can't just stay quiet like this... what if they are planning something against us" Hazel asked coraline who looked really calm unlike her and this got too much on Hazel's nerves because coraline was acting like she didn't give a freaking damn when all of this was her plan in the first place.. was she planning on backing out now... it was too late for her to do so... she would be rendered weak if coraline backed out now... "Relax... everything is going according to plan, " Coraline responded, and Hazel scoffed... she couldn't believe her. "How is this going according to plan?" Hazel spa out In anger and ran her hand through her hair... she started to pace back and forth in the room and coraline could only stare at her with a lingering smile on her face... it was a sight she enjoyed looking at... a sight of agitation because someone craved power... a power that she didn't deserve..."Do you deserve such a power?" Coraline said suddenly causing Hazel to stop pacing an
Joan gasped in shock as she watched everything unfold before her eyes and everyone were equally shocked by this... "How could this be" Diana muttered under her breath... this whole time, everything they had been told and believed was a lie... they have been living a lie the whole time and didn't know such a power existed... Was the Fae queen sacrifice in vain... how would they defeat this kind of power. . what were they going to do... "We need to leave now... we can't stay here for much longer" Jonathan said, because if they stayed longer they might risk getting trapped in the past and that was the last thing they needed at they moment... so liam took the hand of his mate and started to lead her away, but as they walked away, Joan couldn't stop looking back, her eyes was filled with horror.... They were all silent as they walked back to the field from before and Joan was still in complete shock because of everything... "Joan!" Jonathan called out to her and snapped her out of the daze
Joan was the first person to open her eyes when they all arrived in the past and rest followed... They all stood there silently, taking in their surroundings... they knew they wouldn't be able to stay for too long because Alice wasn't the one who had opened the portal for them, but they had to use the short time they had wisely... "Follow me," Diana said and started to walk off without explaining anything to them or telling them where they were headed, but they had no choice but to follow her. They were in the middle of what looked like a field that was filled with dry leaves... "Where are we heeaded" Liam couldn't help but ask after a while of walking... Diana had refused to speak and it would be more helpful to them if she just explained everything as they walked to wherever they were heading... "it's a lot to explain right now.... I will tell you everything when we return back to the Palace. right now... we don't have a lot of time to waste... we have to get there before it's too l
