What!” Liam exclaimed when he heard Joan's words. “What do you mean you want to stay here? Didn't you hear what Diana just said to you” He added, confusion etched on his face. “I don't think she will try anything now, with her powers gone and all and most people are unaware of this place” Joan tried to give the perfect excuse but it sounded so stupid even in her ears. “And I've been learning how to use my powers the past month so I can protect myself now” She added, followed by a nervous laugh. Diana shook her head and couldn't hold her tongue anymore. “Are you doing this because of him? You don't want to go back because of him. Are you kidding me right now!” The witch snapped and rolled her eyes. Joan couldn't believe this witch, How could she say something like that in front of everyone! “It isn't because of him!” Joan spat out and immediately regretted it when she saw the look on Liam's face. Even his ears were red. “I don't care about your lover's Quarell right now. You are c
"What!" Joan exclaimed with her eyes now wide in surprise because of what he said. "I see no problem in me staying here. to keep you safe, " He said. Joan let out a deep sigh. when she had left the Palace that day, if he had been this outspoken and not just watched her leave, maybe she would have stayed behind with him. Thinking about it made Joan a little upset and a deep frown now settled on her face. "I can make whatever decision I choose. You can't stay here, " She said firmly with finality in her tone..."Then are you coming with us?" He asked. "I was supposed to be thinking about that when you came in here to interrupt my thoughts," she retorted, and silence reigned between them after. Liam could only stare at her with regret in his heart. He wanted to tell her he was sorry and that he missed her and he wanted to hug her and feel her warmth. He wanted to tell her that she was his queen. and that he wanted to be with her at every second and every minute. That he wanted to mark h
"Jonathan, Johnathan!" Johnathan started to hear a familiar voice call out his name from a distance, and slowly, everything started to fade out. He gasped as he was transported with a force back to reality where everyone was. Lilac held his arm with extreme worry written all over her face as she stared at him. Diana, Alice, and Devon with Liam too looked really worried. It took him more than a minute to finally calm down and realised that he was back to reality, and what he had seen was just a vision of the future. "What did you see?" Diana asked it seemed that everyone also had the same question. Johnathan was about to say something when Joan came into the room with confusion etched on her face.She had heard Lilac voice from way upstairs and had to be leaving what she was packing to check what was going. "What is going on?" She asked, but everyone attention was still on Johnathan waiting for him to say something. He swallowed as his chest heaved. "Can I get a glass of water?" He as
Joan woke up earlier than everyone, and the sun was barely up in the sky when she made herself a cup of hot coffee and walked to the back of the house. There was a chair she loved to , on, and this had become like a morning ritual to her since she returned back here.The last months of her life were something she wouldn't have imagined. if someone told her a year ago that she had powers and was among the children of the prophecy who were supposed to stop the dark witches and also the mate of a lycan king she was would thought the person was completely insane. But it really happened, and she witnessed it all. Joan Howard took a sip out of her morning coffee and sighed deeply as she was trying to come into a grasp of the situation at hand. The lycan king that she was mated to had an ex who turned out to be the leader of the dark witches that she was meant to stop with the other children of the prophecy. They had finally managed to stop her, but she had escaped, and now they had no i
Saphira walked into Supreme Alpha Devon's pack with Ash following behind her. Max and darius had strongly declined following them and thought it was a completely bad idea to go there after what had happened with Hazel. "What if they become suspicious of you and think you planned the whole thing with your sister. Are you crazy! how can you suggest we go back there, Saphira?" Darius had said trying to stop them, but saphira was adamant on going, and Ash was ready to follow her. He had nothing to worry about since he had no idea of what Hazel was going to do at that time. He couldn't even imagine she would go that far. He remembered when he went to visit her, and they had an argument because he thought she was too forgiving and wasn't getting her revenge against the Donovans.He had no idea she had been planning her revenge the whole time. It all made him feel like he didn't know her anymore. It felt like she was a completely different person and not his sister, whom he grew up with. It
It was finally time for everyone to return to the city, well, except Liam. Joan, who has agreed to let him stay, wasn't too keen on the idea of being left alone with him now. "I will ask someone to send your things," Devon said to his brother, who nodded as they walked out of the house to where the cars were packed. His eyes soon fell on a woman who was sitting on her front porch staring at them from afar, but he could see her. She looked curious. nosy neighbours. he wished Joan, who just stopped being stubborn, followed him back to the palace. But he didn't want to force her. This whole arrangement made him nervous. He could see that it also made her nervous. Alice was trying to hold back a smile. She was really satisfied with this arrangement. maybe finally they could be together and her friend would be happy. She just hoped Liam didn't hurt her or he would be getting an earful from her.She walked towards Joan and gave her a warm hug, and Joan hugged her back, wishing they would a
"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
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
