"Are you unhappy with our visitors?" Felicity asked Lisa when they were finally in another room, and Lisa nodded... "Have you forgotten what she did... she betrayed her allies and went crazy... there is no guarantee that she wouldn't do that again, but this time to use. I don't trust them." Lisa voiced out her worries. how could she trust them, especially Hazel. She only knew gwen and didn't know the other two. Felicity seemed to know one of them, but it didn't matter that what they were asking Felicity to do was dangerous. What if their plans failed of the lycans gets a wind of this and attacks first... "I don't trust them , , but what they are proposing makes a lot of sense... do we have to keep living in hiding for the rest of our lives... I'm tired of staying the same spot for so long... it's been centuries already, Lisa... we have been here for so long already... I feel like I'm trapped. this place feels stuffy... I can't breathe here..." Felicity said and ran her hand through he
"We will take care of that." Hazel was the one who answered Felicity's question, and Felicity nodded... "That is solved then... we can talk about the next plan of our plans after we bring her back... but she is worthless without her powers... from what I remember, didn't the fae queen strip her of all her powers, or am I wrong? " Felicity said, and the entire room became silent... "What is the use bringing her back if she doesn't have her powers?" She added, breaking the silence... "I'm sure she has a way of gaining her powers back," Coraline responded, and a smile appeared on Felicity's face, and she nodded... "Well, what else?" her eyes travelled back and forth between everyone in the room, and no one else had anything to say... "Gwen a word then," She said, and Gwen nodded and glanced at the witches with her before following Felicity out of the room... Lisa sat on the couch that was in front of Coraline and Hazel, and they noticed she was back to the young lady they had met when th
"Try it now," Liam asked Joan, and she nodded. Her face was serious as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath... a few days had passed, and the grand feast was finally over. everything seemed to be going back to normal, and surprisingly, she hadn't been granted any task by Tyler as the new Queen... it felt like he was giving her enough time to rest after the ordeal, and she had been spending more time with liam too... she had her own chambers now, the Queen chamber, but she still stayed in liams chambers, and they slept in the same bed each night... She loved waking up in his arms each day, and today was no exception... Liam had been teaching her how to use her mind link, and so far, she could mind link a bit, but wasn't good at it... thankfully, she had learned out to block him from reading her mind... When Joan opened her eyes again, she looked really determined, and it made a warm smile appear on Liam's face... she was so adorable that he couldn't hold himself back... he leaned
"Your majesty, Diana and seraphina are waiting for you" right nowand" Tyler said to liam as they walked out of Liam's chambers... "Why what the h*ll is going on!" Liam said, already in a terrible mood, but his mood already started to get worseandeach passing second... "A barrier has been broken," Tyler said, and Liam froze in his tracks... "What!" he said in anger and wanted to face palm herself... "What barrier, " He asked, and the look of worry increased in Tyler's eyes as he answered Liam's question.... "The barrier protecting Epheba body from the dark witches..." He informed?and liam immediately felt a lump in his chest it didn't take him a few seconds to deduce who was behind this... it was Hazel and like Joan had told him, she was back... why now!? why now when he was finally happy with Joan... why now when things seemed to be finally falling back in order... he was sick and tired of everything and which he wasn't indecisive back them when he had captured her... his indecisivene
Joan's eyes slowly fluttered open, and she was expecting to see herself at the lake, but he wasn't at the lake. She was still at the Palace and Liam's chambers... an electrifying fear gripped her as her eyes started to scan our surroundings.... What was going on? she wondered, she felt a familiar feeling as she slowly walked away from the bed where she had gotten up from... the room was empty and no one was around, so she decided to leave the room to look for liam... Joan walked through the hallway of the Palace, her eyes on the maids as she passed by them, but none of them could see her and could only walk by them... Was this some sort of trance or vision... she wondered... Hazel had not shown up yet, so the electrifying fear she had felt before was slowly dissipating, but it didn't mean she wasn't afraid because she had no idea what was going on... She stopped walking when she got to Liam's study and her hand travelled to the door, but before she could push it open she turned when s
"Don't tell anyone about this yet" Liam instructed everyone in the room when he was done talking and he was about to say something else when Diana got up from the chair she was sitting abruptly... she turned to look at the door of the room and held her breath for a few seconds, her eyes scanning the room for anything suspicious but she found none... "What's wrong?" Liam asked her, and it took her a few seconds to finally turn to look at him... "I felt a presence... a dark presence... someone or something was just here" " she said,, and Liam didn't wait till she was donetalkingking before he started for the door... "Your majesty!" Tyler called out to Liam and quickly followed after him while the two sisters exchanged worried looks... "What did it feel like" Seraphina asked as they both followed too... "Dark magic... a strong kind of forbidden energy" She replied and swallowed... Liam quickly walked into his chambers, and when he did, he stopped at the entrance of his room when he saw J
they all set out later that day to the cave, and the guards, which were once there, were gone and liam and given Tyler the task to find out what had happened and after searching around the cave for a while they finally found the guards... they were unconscious when they found them and surprisingly they were unharmed and had no idea how they had gotten there or what had happened... Liam had ordered for them to be taken immediately to the healer to make sure they were alright and it wasn't just a manipulation by this coraline...liam held Joan's hand and wasn't going to let go as they stood in front of the cave... . "Stay close to me," He whispered to her, and she nodded... Seraphina stood close to her sister as Diana stared at the entrance of the cave and squinted her eyes... she could sense the dark magic here too, and it was stronger... but she had no idea the type of forbidden magic that had been used on the cave... probably a dark witch could... "Do you feel it too?" She said to h
lilac was snuggled up close to her mate as they both laid in bed... her eyes were closed but she wasn't asleep. it was the first time in days that she was calm and didn't feel like throwing up after a meal and a while after eating jonathan had suggested she got some rest and she had only agreed to it if he joined her because she knew how much he had been stressed out because of her... so now she laid in the bed slowly drifting off to sleep when she felt jonathan move beside her... Her eyes immediately fluttered open and was met with his... She could see the distress that had formed in his eyes and she probed herself up with her elbow... "What's wrong" She asked in a low voice as jonathan got up from the bed... "I need to go to the Palace" He said and Lilac stared at him with confusion etched on her face, because she had no idea why he needed to go to the Palace... "Will you be alright on your own till I get back" he asked and Lilac immediately shook her head... "No let me come with yo
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
