Layla couldn’t move. Louis didn’t stop chanting until Jared’s body dropped on the floor. Louis dropped on her knees. Liam could tell that she was drained. She looked at Xavier before taking another look at Liam.“He would be out for a couple of hours. The poison was in too deep and it stayed for way too long in his system. If he wasn’t an alpha, we would be planning a burial. I have to go, I was in the middle of a spell when Xavier came for me, keep me updated on whatever goes on with Jared” Louis said as she got up on her feet only to fall back on her knees.“I think you should wait and rest because you can’t make it anywhere ok your own” Layla said to her.“I have to go” Louis argued.“She is right. You are too drained to move about. Whatever you are doing can wait an hour or two. You wouldn’t be able to do it if you are dead” Xavier said to her.“Not the nicest way to put it but thanks. I could wait for an hour with Jared. Any luck finding Alice yet?” she asked him.“Nothing yet. S
“Do not go after anybody! Roland knows what he is doing. We don’t know if he is with them. They might have taken his image and have worked on it so that it looks like he led those people here. If we take the war to him and he is innocent then we would be in trouble” Jared said to him.“He had wolves backing him up. I don’t think that is a coincidence. Witches didn’t attack this place, wolves did. That might not have been Roland but I don’t think that the rest of the wolves were images or illusions. They were real, too real. I don’t think your friend Roland isn’t aware of it” Liam said to him.“Help me up” Jared said to them.Xavier and Liam helped him back to his feet and he looked out of the window. Just like Liam said, there were bodies of dead wolves that Liam killed laying there. He looked out and he sighed. Roland had to be aware of this of his wolves were here.“I would look for Roland and find him. Hopefully, I would talk to him and then I would know what to do from there. In t
“And how am I supposed to believe you? I found you here!” she screamed at him.“If you know Lilith as long as I have, you would know that she is in love with Jared and I am Jared’s Beta! If you want to help her then you should come with me. Something tells me that whoever did this is not done with her and they would be back soon” Xavier said to her.“I am Claire” she said to him.“I am Xavier” he said to her with a smile.She smiled back at him and nodded at him. Xavier led her to the car and she got in. They headed back to Jared’s mansion.*****Liam drove off and the first place he sought to check was their grandparents house. Although they hadn’t been there since their parents died, they were the closest thing they had to family. When he got there, he saw that the house was empty from the outside. He looked around and saw a house nearby, a three minutes walk. He was going to walk there and ask about his grandparents when someone stopped him. She looked really friendly“Hi, you look
“For as long as he can. I don’t care, Liam! I don’t want to care. He deserves everything that he is getting and I expect you to respect my decision! I am not going back there, except he is dying!” Alice said to her brother.“Well he was shot with a golden arrow that was laced with black magic. He is on his feet and he is acting like he is fine but we both know that he is not fine! He needs you. He wants you back home. You can’t punish him this way” Liam said to him.“I leave for less than one month and he is getting shot with magical arrows? What the hell is wrong with him? Does he think him dying would draw me back to his house? Tell him that he is wrong!” Alice said to her brother.“He didn’t stab himself with that arrow. He jumped in the way of the arrow. It was going to hit me, or worse, Layla. He saved our lives just like he has been saving yours or trying to save yours. How can you stay angry after that?” Liam asked her.“Who is Layla?” Alice asked him.“I want to understand you
Jared had fine too far. He had brought back Liam for a reason and Alice knew that it was just more than him coming to talk to her. He was shot with am arrow. Was that on purpose or was it just because he wanted her back by all means? A lot o questions ran through her head and she had absolutely no answer to them. Was she ready to go back to Jared after he lied to her? She looked at her brother’s car drive away and she dropped on the nearest sofa to her. She groaned and then she felt it again. That stupid magic bat that has been hovering around her house for days. She had gone out to look at it but he had stared at it. It had stared in her direction but it was almost like it couldn’t see her, only sense her presence. Alice knew that it was only a matter of time before whoever else behind the demon found out about her little secret. She had two guesses. It was either Doris or it was another random witch that was messing with some powers that they had zero idea of. She knew that she was
“When they found a way to weaken the head of their valley, he came to me for help but we made a mistake. We didn’t know that the witches had a plan off their sleeve. They killed his son and then put a demon in him to make use of his body. We didn’t know. We didn’t bother to dig into the story and when Roland decided that he wasn’t going to bend to their rules, they removed the demon and sent it back to the hell hole they brought it out from. When he found out that his son was dead for the second time, he knew that there was nothing we could do here so he turned to the witches for help. They offered him help if he took me down. They offered to bring back his son if he helped them and he did. I don’t blame him though. What would I have done if I was in his shoes? That was the only heir he had. His wife, she died while Roland Jr was born. The only hope and light he had in his life was snuffed out of him. His son was killed and now he is trying to kill me. I can’t just help but feel like
“Hold on just a second so I can understand all the things you’re saying. What you are trying to tell me is that you left for an entire day and you still couldn’t get your assignment done? So tell me. Why the hell did you even go?” Layla yelled at him. “What the hell is your problem, Layla? Why don’t you understand! This is my sister we are talking about here. What was I supposed to have done? Given up on her when she said no first? I can’t! She is my family!” Liam yelled at her. “I thought I was your family” she said to him as she scoffed. Liam was going to respond when Claire came down the stairs. He couldn’t believe. Claire was his girlfriend before he left the valley. They had had a past together and he had loved her more than he loved himself but he had left her without looking back. “Liam? Oh my goodness. I thought you were dead” Claire said as she ran to hug him. “It is so good to see you too. I am so sorry about the way we left things. I would love to fix it while I am he
“I had no control over what my parents did! They led their own lives and I am here to live mine! You cant judge me for the sins of my parents! I am so sorry that you feel this way. I am really sorry but what the hell am I supposed to do about that? There is nothing I can do and Liam left because he wanted to, not because I pushed him away and not because my parents had anything to do with the death of your parents!” Jared yelled at her. “I am done with this conversation. I would not stand here and be lied to by a man who doesn’t even know what he wants!” she said to him. It was at that moment, when she walked out of the door that he knew that he loved her. He was trying so hard to do right by her but it kept blowing up in his face. He groaned and shivered at those memories. He knew that she hated him now but just like before, he wasn’t going to give up on her, not now, not ever. He was going to do all he could to make sure that she was his again. He wasn’t going to live without her
