They turned around and saw Alice standing there.“I don’t think you should be up” Laura said“I’m fine. I’m pregnant, not dying and I am a wolf, regardless of what ever happened hours ago. I heal faster than the regular human. What Louis, here is saying is that there is a ritual that has already started to release a demon from his cage and the people behind it don’t care about who gets hurt. They just want power and authority” Alice said“Whose power?”“The one Jared holds. You said it yourself. Some people are tired of a wolf controlling the quarter and they want that power for themselves but before they can take that power, they need you to agree to the release of that demon and they would stop at nothing to get your approval” Alice said“Hold on. What ritual?” Laura asked“You have to catch up Laura! You have to keep up. They are planning on releasing the sucker back into this world” Louis said“The sucker? C’mon I thought that was a fairy tale” Laura said“I said the same thing. I
“I know. You don’t have to remind me of who I am or what I am. I just don’t want any of this to happen. If we can stop them now, I think we should. We would see Roland today or tomorrow because the day is gone and after we see him, we would talk about how we can stop them before they sacrifice another boy” Jared saidA knock came on the door“What?!” He snappedXavier walked in“Sorry to interfere but now of the guards just found another body of a boy. He says the kid was in our training academy and he went missing for a while” Xavier said“Still think they can be saved?” Alice asked him“Set up a meeting with Roland for tomorrow morning. I do not want any excuses. We would be going down to the blue moon valley tomorrow” Jared saidXavier nodded at Jared and he saw him rub his forehead. He only does that when he was stressed. Xavier gave a little bow and headed out.“I want you to stay indoors until all of this is over. I would be taking some decisions that would piss a lot of people
Xavier looked at him and be agreed with him. He looked at Jared as he dropped back on his bed“You are really not going to stand up, are you?” Xavier asked him“Not really. I barely slept and I look like a mess. You know I can’t face the people if I look like this” Jared said“Fair point but you can’t sleep forever. You have a town meeting in four hours. After that, we would be driving down to the blue moon valley” he said“Yes, all the more reason why I should get all the rest I can possibly get now” Jared said“Well, I’m going to get breakfast because unlike you, Alice already woke up and she made breakfast already_ Xavier said“I will never understand how she can manage to be on her feet after all she has been through. I know that I would eventually have to tell her but I don’t know if I can risk her hating me more than she already does”. Jared said, with his eyes closed“Don’t tell me you’re actually planning on keeping it a secret for the rest of your life” Xavier asked“Keeping
This was the first time in a while that they’ve enjoyed each other’s company without having to involve sex in it. It was beautiful, just talking to her and getting to know her better. He noticed she was really pretty when she smiled and said had dimples on both sides. Her eyes were not brown but grey which everybody considered weird as hell but that was alright with him. It made her really beautiful still.“You should really check your closet more often instead of taking your clothes and running out as usual. I get you new stuffs almost every time I go out but you never notice them because you always say fashion is for the jobless. Because you’re aloha and ruler of the quarter doesn’t mean your dress sense should be close to zero!” she said to him“I don’t say that!” he defended himself“Yes you do!” she said laughing at himHe rolled his eyes in a child like manner and walked to the mirror after she was done with him to put his hair in order.“You know Roland is waiting for you down
That was one thing Laura envied Louis for. For Laura, her super power as a witch was the fact that nobody could ever lie to her. She could tell when someone was lying to her and for Louis, it was the fact that she was never turned down by anybody. She would ask for things and get them immediately. It worked like magic for her and not for once has it failed her.“I don’t understand” Jared said“You really don’t need to. It’s witch’s business. You should prepare for your meeting with the people and you should take Louis along. Just Louis and Xavier, no other person” Laura said“Why?” Alice asked“Things might go out of hand and the less people you have with you, the less damage there is. The two of them are more than enough to protect you. I would stay with Alice, just incase things go out of hand” she said“That works for me” Jared said“Also, you should really finish up with the meeting and head back if we are going to find Roland’s son before the first hour of the evening. Something
The crowd murmured for a bit before everywhere became silent again.“It is for your safety, not mine. Also, if you would like to join us in defending our valley, then you should stay behind and meet me here. This same time, next week. It is not a compulsory call to duty. It is your choice to stay and fight or to leave. I wouldn’t want anybody getting hurt and leaving their family behind because I ordered them to do so. Lastly, if you have Roland’s son, I need him returned to his father” he saidHe got down from the podium and walked towards his car where Xavier and Louis caught up with him. He took a deep breath before turning to face them“You did amazing out there” Xavier said“I don’t know, Xavi. I don’t know how long I can keep these people from acting out on their own free will. I am not giving them the results they want” Jared said“If you did that, that would make them the ruler of the valley and not you. You can’t always give them what they want” Xavier said to himJared nodde
The ride down to the house was silent. When he got there, he met Alice and Laura talking“Tell me you found Roland’s son!” Jared said“We did but there is a problem” Alice said to him“Oh, fuck. What is the problem?” Jared asked“The boy is dead. He was found right here in the valley. Roland was right all along. Someone had his son and now the boy is dead. We have to find a way to get Roland before he gives his approval to the witches!” Laura said“Where is the body now?” Jared said“It is on the way back to the blue moon valley. Roland’s men got to it before I did. When I got there, his men were already wrapping him up. That would be a big issue for all of us” Laura saidJared turned to look at Xavier“Get Roland in the phone. He must be grieving his son right now. If I have a chat with him, I might be able to get through to him. He looks like a very reasonable person. If he can see things from my side, things might be easier for us on this side” Jared saidXavier nodded at him and p
She held his gaze and looked at her“I mean, yeah. We have been apart for a while now and it has been affecting us really bad. I want us to fix things, I want is to fix our broken bonds. We are expecting a child soon and I don’t want my child growing up, thinking that I don’t love his or her mother. I do love you. At times, it is just hard to express how I feel because of my past and all of that but never doubt the fact that I do love you and I would do anything to make sure that you are fine!” He said to her“Jared, you are asking me to stay in your room, not asking me to marry you” she teased“I know, I just need you to know how much you mean to me. I hope nothing ever comes between us because I want to build a home with you. When all of this is over, I would ask you to marry me” he said to herShe smiled at him and he lifted her face to meet his. He kissed her softly then he applied a little pressure to the kiss. She leaned into him and let him take the lead. His hands moved from h
