Laura looked at him and he looked out the window. “That makes sense to me” Xavier said“So what can we do about it? I can’t let her get in harm’s way again” Jared said“You want to remove the baby?” Xavier asked“I don’t know. If it is would keep her safe, I don’t think I have a choice” he said “Nobody is touching my baby” they heard her say from the stairsThey all turned and saw her standing there. She walked down the stairs and turned to Jared“I can’t believe you would opt for killing our baby” she said“I can’t see any other way that guarantees your safety. Whatever route we take, it puts you in danger. We can always have another baby when things are settled. We still have someone who is killing teenagers for fun and I am trying to convince the people to stay calm. Of course they are mad at that decision and they are not going to want to be reasoned with. They would see me as the enemy and they would come for what I love the most and that is my baby, that is you. You are not sa
They were just fine when he left them. Why was Jared trying to kill her all of a sudden“Jared! What are you doing?” He screamedJared looked at him and his eyes were blood red. He looked like at him. Xavier’s eyes glowed and his fangs came out. Xavier grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the other side of the study. He landed on the floor and got up“What the hell is wrong with you?” Xavier screamed at him“Everything, because that is not him. Whoever nailed Alice to this wall left something behind. She couldn’t finish the work and so left a little helper to finish it up. That is what is in Jared and we need to get Alice far from him. He wouldn’t come back to his senses until she is dead” Laura said“What do you mean?” Xavier asked“Alice is blue already. She needs all the air she can get. Take her and go far from Jared’s reach” she said“And what would happen to you?” Xavier asked“I would try to get whatever is in him out of him and perform a cleansing spell” she said“He wou
“What can I help you with?” Xavier asked politely“You are really going to make me ask again? I don’t understand. How did you know that I asked Laura to remove Alice’s baby?” Jared said, raising his voice a little bit“With the way you keep screaming, Alice would hear you and you would have a lot of explanation to do. Keep screaming” Xavier said to him as he picked up the book again“Why are you avoiding the question?” Jared asked“I’m not. Laura told me. Things got a little bit wild between us last night and she told me that you asked her to remove the baby. She said she did remove it but there was something off about it. She could feel the baby, full of life and e ever, almost like it was born already” Xavier said“That is impossible. It’s barely two months old!” Jared said“And that was what I said to her. I told her that it is not possible for her to feel a baby that isn’t even a baby yet” Xavier said“And what did she say?” Jared asked“Would you let me talk and stop interrupting
“I don’t think you understand the gravity of what I’m talking about here!” She said back“Maybe I don’t want to. I have said my piece on this topic so let it end. The last thing you need to do is to stress yourself. You are carrying a child. You should get breakfast and then head to bed” he said to her“Head to bed again? I just woke up. I am starting to get really sick of laying around. I would find something to do. In the mean time, what’s the update on Lilith’s brother?” She asked“I haven’t done anything yet about that. I am hoping she would come with an item that belongs to Liam so Laura can cast a location spell and we can get this over with” he said“What if he’s gone?” she asked“You can’t think like that” Jared told her“C’mon, you can’t possibly believe that teenage boys disappearing is a coincidence! This is the third kid in two weeks, Jared. Something is going on with these boys”“We found the body….”“Of just one boy! Out of three. Jared, something is going on and you can
“What do you mean by we have a problem?” Jared asked“The baby is still alive and healthy in her. We didn’t abort the baby” she said“What do you mean by the baby is still in her? C’mon. You have to be joking. We removed the baby, you said so!” Jared said“Yes, I did and she bled right in your front today but I’m telling you that there is still a baby in there, Jared. It didn’t go. There is something about that child. It doesn’t want to leave” she said“Then you will make that spell again and get it right this time. She is not having that baby, not now. She would put a target on her back. Let that child know that it is putting his mother’s life in danger right now!” Jared said“You don’t understand it. If I perform another abortion ritual, she can die. You keep forgetting that she is not a wolf! She is human” Laura argued“She has the healing abilities of a wolf, I know what I am saying. She would survive it!”“No, she would not!” Xavier said“You don’t know anything about her. She ca
“You have tried so hard to get me out of my mom, why?” The child asked innocently“You! It is you who have been giving everybody a hard time. You are cute for the trouble you cause. You know that right?” Laura asked“I do, thank you” he said gaily“Why have you refused to leave?” Jared askedHis emotions changed and the mood of the environment changed. It went from all bright and beautiful to dark and cloudy, almost like it was going to rain. The child looked at him and saw nothing but hate in his eyes and it was understandable even though Jared had no idea about the future. The child turned and started to walk away“This place is controlled by your emotions, father. If you decide to stay upset with me, the beauty and the color of this place would eventually vanish” the child said“You speak with so much wisdom for a little boy” Xavier said“Uncle Xavi. It’s nice to finally meet you” he said“Hold on. Why are you here? Why are you between life and death?” Laura asked“Because I never
“What do you mean by what could possibly go wrong? Everything can go wrong. I don’t think you have an idea of what could go wrong. Everything can go wrong. We are talking about magic here and every magical being would sense it when I out up this barrier spell. Maybe not every but the most powerful of beings would and they would be aware. Jared, you have maintained peace for a long while and in as much as everybody is supposed to be happy about that, some people feel threatened with the idea of a wolf staying in power, not to talk of an heir that is a wolf. The witches would always want power and so would other wolf packs. You have to watch where you go and who you talk to. You have to be careful of what you say and whom you upset because you hold two extra lives with yours, Alice’s and your baby’s” she said“I guess so. It is just plainly living with caution. Thank you for listing out my possible enemies. I’m surprised that you didn’t miss any” Jared said to her“I did miss one. The p
“Your first duty is to your people and not your girlfriend! Understand that she is important buy you have priorities!” Laura said to him“She is right, Jared” Xavier spoke up as he walked into the living room. “Go with Lilith. You were friends. I can stay here and watch over Alice while you’re away” he saidJared looked at him and he nodded. He picked up his jacket and was about to head out when Laura stopped him“Before you go, I need something from you” she saidBefore he could ask what it was, she grabbed a knife and cut him across the palm, holding the bleeding hand over a bowl. She looked at him and nodded at him. He ran after Lilith. When he left, she sighed and turned to Xavier“And where did you run off to?” she asked“I needed time and space to think. All the whole linking spell wasn’t sounding right to me. It is still not sounding right to me but Jared’s mind is made up and I can’t change it. All I can do is protect him and never leave his side” Xavier said“Jared would be f
