CARSONThe path ahead was filled with dangers at every turn. As we ventured deeper into the forest, the trees grew taller and thicker. The light from the sun managed to filter through the canopy of trees. Aside from that, it was already getting dark. But we couldn't return to the palace without a solution. The air was filled with the sound of the rustling of leaves beneath our feet and our heavy breaths as we rushed through the forest.My senses were on high alert, scanning the surroundings for any sign of danger. I noticed my brothers were doing the same. We made sure to check for anything that might be lurking in the dark.There were strange sounds at intervals. Howling of wolves in the distance. But we persevered, our determination was fueled by our love for Ashley.After long hours of traveling, we finally reached the village. As we approached, we were greeted by a group of villagers, their faces frowned with curiosity and suspicion. We explained that we were seeking the help of

AXELMy heart pounded like a drum in my chest as I watched Jasmine step out to the living room. Her eyes were dark with anger. She whispered something to her mum while looking in our direction. Her mum nodded, rubbed her back gently, and left us alone in the living room.A deep frown carved her face as she gave us an acidic stare, one after the other.“What do you want!” she asked in a very bitter tone.I couldn't believe it. Jasmine, of all people, was the one who held the key to Ashley's salvation. It seemed like the universe just wanted to mock our predicament.The memory of our last encounter still stung.It had been a bitter breakup, filled with accusations and hurt. The way our love turned sour and became a toxic broth of resentment and anger was not something I wanted to dwell on. I had been the one to break it off, a decision I never regretted.I had never imagined that we would cross paths again, let alone find myself under such dire circumstances. But now, faced with the pos

JASMINEI sat outside with my mum, listening to the instructions she gave. The moon hung high in the sky, casting shadows over the earth. My eyes danced from the shadows of the ancient oak trees that surrounded our home to my mum's face.A shiver ran down my spine as I thought about what I was about to do.I listened carefully as my mum rolled out the various activities that were involved in the ritual I was about to perform. She explained the demands of the ritual in detail, causing a chill to wash over me.“It would require you to sacrifice a part of yourself, Jasmine. You would have to push aside your desires and feelings. You would be face to face with the gods.”Her words made the ritual seem scary and I wondered if I was really ready.I asked her questions about the dos and don’ts of the ritual. She rolled out another long list, including that I could not carry out the ritual in anger or any form of grudge.After she had explained. She took me to the sacred room and asked me to

JASMINETonight, I would turn the tables.I laughed loudly. A wicked sound that bubbled deep within my throat. It came off exactly the way witches laughed, having an effect that made one's skin crawl. I felt very powerful and on top of the world. Having soaked myself deep in the powers, it was time to direct the powers on what to do.The air grew heavy with magic. I began to chant, my voice rising and falling, in accordance with the rhythm of my heart. The words of the spell flowed freely from my lips.“By the forces of the moon and the stars, I summon the spirits of darkness. Hear my plea, pay heed to my command. I call forth destruction upon Alpha Hendrix! Render his powers useless by the great powers of my ancestors. Let him lose his strength. Bring his life to an end! I call forth destruction upon Ashley Kim! Let her lose her mind. Extinguish her life completely, by my will!”As I chanted the spell, I felt something rising on my inside. It was as if I had been doing it all my life

CARSONAs Jasmine approached, I exchanged knowing glances with my brothers. We had spoken about our fears earlier, how we were not sure if Jasmine would eventually show up to save Ashley. But Axel reassured us that she would come. He said she wouldn’t want the three days she had spent learning sorcery to go to waste.It was a huge relief that she showed up. Now it was only a matter of time before we could get our Ashley back.I looked at Jasmine in amazement. I beheld her in her new form and it was suddenly difficult to remember what she looked like. She wasn't the Jasmine I knew. The overambitious girl, who loved to frolic around. Jasmine who had annoyed me multiple times because she had a clownery of a relationship with Axel.This one was different. She seemed like a different creature altogether.Her eyes had an unusual yellow glow to them. Her lips were firm, and the paintings on her body were nothing like the ones Circe had. That evil bitch!Jasmine had a very heavy aura, which w

CARSONJasmine had manipulated the sorcery.Fuck!Why on earth did we think we could trust Jasmine?Jasmine’s staff landed on the ground with a loud clinging sound.“How dare you interrupt my sorcery!” Jasmine screamed angrily.My brothers turned and realized what was happening. They ran towards us.“What is going on?” Axel asked.“Well, we trusted the wrong person. We put Ashley's life in the hands of an enemy.“What do you mean?” Axel asked with a frown.“Well, why is Ashley not waking up?” I asked pointing at Ashley’s seemingly lifeless form on the balcony.“Jasmine?” Axel called.I could see the raw fear in his eyes. He did not want to believe that Jasmine had truly done something against Ashley.“What have you done?” he asked her.She started to stammer. From behind us, Brody came rushing towards her and gave her a heavy blow. She stumbled backward; her eyes dilated in shock.I drew my sword and charged at Jasmine. I was ready to inflict pain on her until she confessed and undid

ASHLEYThis castle was not perfect. It was nothing compared to the main castle. But I was happy that I was alive and I had my mates with me, regardless of all my losses.I woke up feeling alive. I was recovering by the day and I was regaining my strength. My mates were highly supportive. They hardly left me to be alone. They did all they could to put smiles on my face.I rolled my eyes to see who opened the door. Carson stood tall and breathtakingly handsome. I smiled at him as he walked in and sat on the bed.“How are you?” he asked and kissed my forehead.“Better than ever.”“We are throwing a large dinner to celebrate your recovery. We honestly thought we had lost you.”I smiled and shook my head, “that would not be necessary.”“Oh? Would you like to tell that to your other mates? You might need extra energy convincing them.”“Where are…,” I paused when Axel and Brody walked into my room with large smiles on their faces.“I checked on you earlier but you were asleep,” Brody said an

ASHLEYI woke up to a low bass humming in my room. I slowly opened my eyes as the sun cast a warm glow on my face.Who was humming so deeply, waking me from my sweet sleep after a night of repeated sex with my Alphas? I caught sight of Carson trying to spread jam on a slice of bread.A sense of contentment washed over me, a feeling I hadn't experienced in a long time. Having our bond marked and sealed caused a spark of excitement to run through me. There was a newfound joy, a newfound reason to continue living and be happy.It was as if a missing piece had finally slotted into place, completing the puzzle of my existence.I stretched and yawned before sitting up to the content of the tray.“You're awake,” Carson asked, pausing his deep-throated hum.I nodded and yawned again while covering my mouth with the back of my hand.After rounds of sex the previous night, I went to bed feeling very tired and so were my mates. It was a surprise that they left already and Carson was serving bre
