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
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
