“I still think that there is something that you are not telling us. What would happen if we remove that demon from your body?” Xavier asked her“Because of the dark magic in it, it would start to deteriorate immediately the presence of the demon exits my body” she said to him“What happens when it deteriorates?” Jared asked her“There would be no way for me to come back to this world of my body is gone. It would take the blood of something very powerful for me to be able to use my body again. It would have to be a wolf, preferably because of the healing abilities that wolves have” she said to him.“And what happens if we put you back in your body immediately your sister removes the demon from your body?” Xavier asked her“That would be impossible for two reasons. If you put me back there immediately, I would die because my body has been corrupted by something darker. It would kill what is left of my soul. The second reason is this. For you to remove the demon from my body, you have to
Liam walked up to Jared and he removed the arrow. He didn’t know what to do. He pulled out Jared’s phone and dialed Xavier’s number. Xavier picked up immediately“You have to come back home. Something is wrong with Jared. We were attacked and now, there is a silver arrow in his chest” Liam said to him“I just left the house. How is it possible that you can’t stay out of trouble?” Xavier asked.“I don’t understand. I just said that there is a silver arrow in Jared’s chest! I just pulled it out but he is not healing and he is not waking up! What do I do?” Liam asked“Don’t do anything. Just wait for me. Wait, I would turn back now. Roland can wait” Xavier said and he ended the call.He was back at the house in fifteen minutes. He picked up the arrow and he looked at it“The arrow, it is a poisoned arrow. We need to get Louis” Xavier said to him“Who is Louis?” Layla asked him“She is a witch, a really powerful witch” Xavier said as he looked at her.“How do we help him while you go and
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
After trying for minutes and she realized that she couldn’t send Jared there, her world broke. She knew that she was going to need her sister. She needed Louis. She sighed and she tuned around. She saw her standing there. “How did you get out of that room?” Laura asked her. “She didn’t, I did. I know that you do not trust me, I understand that but right now, we need to put our differences aside and fix things. We need to put our conflict aside if you want to get Alice back. Louis can perform the spell that you require of her. Let her do it” Zoe said to her. “Why is she speaking about herself in third person?” Xavier whispered. “Because that is not Louis. That is an entirely different being. That is not my sister and I do not trust her to handle this. I have never trusted her and I wouldn’t make that mistake now” Laura said to her. “I didn’t say that I was going to be the one to cast the spell. I am going to give this body back to its rightful owner because I taught her well enoug
Whether it was the right thing or not, she knew that it was too late to ask questions now. She had started this without her sister and that was exactly how she planned on finishing it. There was no going back now. She just hoped that this action wasn’t going to push her sister down the dark path. She sighed as she drove silently, on her way to get the blade that was going to put all of this insanity to an end. This was going to be the last time that she was going to have to deal with Doris. Never again. She was going to remove Doris from the picture and lead the coven in the right way. This was going to be the way to unite all of the witches of the Quarter. With Jared backing her up, it was going to be an easy task. With the help of Xavier, she was ready to face the world and with her sister by her side, it was going to be a piece of cake. All she had to do right now was just find te blade. Hopefully, it was right where she remembered leaving it. She needed to have this day easy. She
“Well, I guess we just have to hope and pray that she wins this. We have been through so much just to die in the end” Liam said to them. “I don’t care about what you say. Alice knows and understands what is at stake and she knows better than to let Doris win this. Besides, it is the prophecy” Jared said to them. “Prophecies can change. The real question is this. Can she do what is necessary make sure that the prophecy comes to pass?” Liam asked him. “Now is the wrong time to be doubting the abilities of someone that killed herself just so you can get your wife back! She would do what she needs to be done. You are in no position to question her abilities and her capabilities. There would be consequences of that action. That, I can promise you” Jared said to him, his eyes glowing. “Alright, why don’t we all calm down?” Louis said as she walked quietly into the room. “Louis!” Laura exclaimed. “I know, I am just as surprised to be alive as much as you are but we do not have time. Th
“That wouldn’t be necessary. I was always here, camouflaged with the dark for a reason. We need to get you out of here” Laura said, walking out of one of the dark corners of the place. “How is this even possible?” Alice asked her. “We don’t have time to explain but when we do, I promise that I will explain to you at length but right now, we need to focus on the important questions like why the hell did you not try to make a deal to reach out to the outside world so that we can bring you home?” Laura asked her. “Because you can’t bring me home. Louis killing me for Layla was something that Doris saw happening. I don’t know how she did but she foresaw it and she tied me here using the blood that she got from me and my unborn baby. This entire place is created to keep me captive. There is no going home of for me. This is home now so just quit trying to bring me back. It is totally hopeless” she said to them. “That is insane. You don’t deserve this. This is not how your story is suppo
Laura looked at Jared and she could see the last piece of hope and faith he had in his eyes. He needed her back and she knew this too. She knew that there was no way he was going to win this without her by his side. She said a silent but quick prayer to the moon goddess, asking for success this was her home and she was going to be devastated if she has to let it go. She started her spell and dropped on the floor. Jared was going to step into the circle when Liam stopped him. “No, trust her. She knows what she is doing. I trust her and you should too” he said to her. Jared looked at him and he nodded at him. He had no choice. They had tried too many different ways to get her back and if this didn’t work, if Laura couldn’t get her back then nobody could. If this didn’t work, he was going to ask that a witch embalm her body and preserve it so that he could wander around until he found somebody that could bring her back. He wasn’t going to give up on her and he wasn’t going to stop unti
“Xavier!!” she called out to him. He was as irresponsive as the first three times she had called out to him. Until he heard her or recognized her presence, he wasn’t going to be able to see her or feel her. She needed a way to get to him and she needed to do it fast. She could feel the rumbling of whatever universe they were in. it was coming down. The realm was closing in on them and they were about to be stuck in it forever. “He cannot hear you or see you. I think you should use your magic to pull him out of there” she heard Zoe say. “That would fracture his mind! I wouldn’t do that” she said to her. “Tick tock. Time wait s for no wolf, or no witch in this case. What do you want to do? Stay stuck here forever? You can’t do that! You need to get us out of here before the place comes down on us” Zoe said to her. “Xavi, I know you can hear me. I know that you are still in there. I need you to focus, I need you to look at me. I need to get you out of here. Whatever life you are liv
She opened her eyes and turned to look at Alice, still laying lifeless on the floor. Her heart sank. She closed her eyes, trying to quiet the world around her and retrace her steps but that was a mistake because immediately she closed her eyes, she felt her presence. Zoe, she had come along with her. Louis walked up to Alice and touched her. Her body felt cold and she turned around to look at Liam who was staring at her. “Where is Alice? Why didn’t you bring her back?” Liam asked her. “I don’t know what happened, she should be back by now. I found her, I traded my freedom for her soul. She should have come back with me!” Louis said to him, confused as ever. The front door flung opened and they both gasped. Doris stood in front of them and Louis stood up. She waved her hand in the air and that sent Doris flying across the hall way. “The boundary spell is down. I don’t know how she managed to pull it down but this is our fight now. I would take care of her. You would get Alice and r
Liam looked at her, not sure of what decision to make. There was no way they were getting out of this alive and he knew this. He said a quiet prater to the moon goddess if she was listening and he looked at Louis. He saw that she was staring at him, waiting for a response. “Your major focus should be on my sister and my wife. Make sure that they wake up. We need them, whether we are willing to admit it or not. Having them here would definitely even the playing field. That should be your only concern right now” he said to her. “What happens to Doris then?” she asked him. “Let me worry about her. I would take care of her but no matter what happens, make sure that she doesn’t get to Alice. She must not get to her” Liam said to her. She looked at him and she could see the fear in his eyes but she knew that he was right and that was the only way. She had been working on a way to reverse the spell or at least make a potion to counter it. She needed to act fast, she needed to work fast.
“I am here. I am not going to leave you or Xavier here so that you can be slaughtered. She has a reason for keeping the both of you here, alive. If she gets back here, she is coming to finish up what she has already started. My sister and Liam would make sure that Doris doesn’t get to Alice’s body. I am going to make sure that she doesn’t have a backup spell that she can cast just in case her first plan does not pull through” Laura said to him. “You need to listen to me. She has this new pet. It is some sort of creature that she managed to pull out of its cage in the ancestral world and that beast has a very nice way of carrying out all of her orders. Your sister and Liam do not stand a chance against that beast. You need to go back to the house so that you can help them” he said back to her. “Look, I just came back from the dead, thanks to my sister. You have no idea about what it means to be dead, how it feels like to be dead. I am not going to face Doris and I need you to trust m
