William. My father and I were with Derek in his playroom when Ellis entered with her father. I saw the scolding look in her eyes, and I figured her father had told her what I said. My father stood up to meet Ellis's father. " Father, meet Mr Samuel Ross, Ellis's father. Samuel Ross, meet my father, Alpha Peter Clearsand," I introduced both of them, and they shook each other's hands. " Thank you for raising such a magnificent daughter and bringing love into my son's life," my father said, and Samuel smiled. " The pleasure is mine, sir. Thank you for taking care of my girl and accepting her into your prestigious family," he replied, and they both smiled. " Daddy, meet Derek, he will soon be two," Ellis said introducing Derek to her father. The man picked up his grandson, and tears began to roll down his cheeks. " I wish Kathryn was here to see this. You look so much like your mother," he said, looking at Derek. Samuel's reaction was understandable. He thought he had lost everyt
William. Jasper Wild arrived as he promised. He sat across from my table, and I asked Patrick to excuse us. " Finally, I was able to get your attention," I said, trying to lighten the mood of the tense atmosphere. " Why did you insist on this meeting, Clearsand? I have a lot on my plate," he said, getting straight to the point. I noticed he was more stressed out than usual, which indicated he was dealing with a very hard situation. " I believe the reason is important to pull you out of your busy schedule," I replied, and he looked at me a bit eagerly. " As you might have heard by now, Dimitri is history," I said, boasting. " Yes, I heard you cleared his brood. Thanks, by the way," he said, accepting that I had done his job for him. " There is nothing to thank me for. My pack was under fire because of that blood-sucking bastard. By the way, did you know he was a mage, and he was working together with rogue witches and hunters?" I asked him, and the expression on his face softened
William When we got to the guesthouse, I decided to call Ellis to inform her I would not be coming home. " Hello darling," I said to her and she was happy on the phone. Seeing her father and learning the truth had fixed something that was broken in her. " I won't be coming home tonight. Jasper and I have things to do." I told her and the energy in her voice dropped a bit. " Hope everything is fine?" She finally asked. " Yes, everything is fine. Do not worry you will see me tomorrow." I assured her. We said our I- love -yous and hung up. " Wife or Mate?" Jasper asked me and I smiled. " Wife and Mate" I responded and he looked confused. " You finally divorced your human wife?" He asked and I shook my head. " Actually, the mate bond thing didn't work out for me. My heart was already stolen before I found my fated mate, so I had to reject her." I confessed. " So your wife is human?" he asked, and I nodded, and his eyes widened with some realisation that I couldn't figure out.
William " F*ck! Clearsand. Are you f*cking with me?" he asked, finding it hard to believe the bomb I had just laid on him. " No, I am not. They are at the Estate right now as we speak." I told him. " God, this makes a whole lot of sense now. I knew something was off. So what is our next course of action? We both know the witches do not waste time?" He asked, and I nodded. " We know the coven involved. The witches aren't a problem at all, the real problem is the hunters. Someone is trying to harness the power of the essence." I said and then became serious. " Now that I know you are not involved, we need to find out who is, but above all, we need to keep my wife's identity secret, and no one must know of Samuel's whereabouts," I warned, and he agreed. " Does your pack know?" he asked, and I shook my head. " The mages, who have sworn with their lives, my father and Samuel are the only ones that know, other than two of us," I explained. " Wow, Clearsand, you are highly secretive.
Ellis Preparing for the battle against the witches was a bit harder than I thought. I was going to have to depend more on my guns and physical combat than the katana. " A witch is just like a human being. Their physical strength is just like that of a human being. What makes them deadly is their magic and the kind of magic they wield." Melena was explaining to me during my training with Philip. Audrey and Melena had decided to get involved with my training this time around. The mages claimed that I had wielded magic while fighting Dimitri. They were trying to understand why I was able to wield the magic then but unable to do so during training. " Unlike mages," Audrey began," Witches have elemental magic. Their magic works with one element. Some have a combination of two or three, but they are rare. The most common of them are the witches that wield fire magic. If you remember, at the battle with the vampires, the rogue witches there only used fire magic as weapons." She stated,
Ellis. The next day I rushed through my breakfast so training could start early. Melena and Audrey were already waiting for me. Philip joined after I got there. I was eager to experience what they meant by spirit magic. " Today, we will try to break your mind and control you. We will be ruthless about it, so do not hold back." Melena said. " Why?" I asked. " You can fight and defend yourself Physically. Your katana is enchanted to nullify deadly magic projectiles aimed at you, and that gives you defence against all forms of magic except one, spirit magic, " Audrey explained. " The talisman makes it difficult for a spirit wielder to control you, but not impossible. They can gain access once they have broken your mind. Today you will learn how to defend yourself from mental magic." Melena explained. " Can you two perform spirit magic?" I asked them, and they smiled. " What makes someone a mage, is the ability to wield all elements. Unlike witchcraft that can be learned, you are ei
Ellis. I left my training early since I wasn't making any progress against the spirit magic. I hated the fact that I couldn't wield my mage abilities. Apparently, what made me special was why my mage abilities were locked. Dinah's essence was the reason why I could not wield magic at will. Remembering William told me that the goddess said I could call her whenever I needed her, I decided to call on her. I sat on our bed and closed my eyes to pray. " Dinah, if you can hear me now, I need to see you. I need some guidance." I prayed. I peeked to look around in case she would appear as William had described, but I saw nothing. I prayed over and over again until I got tired. I was angry and very frustrated. I was afraid I would be taken over by Alvina. If I couldn't differentiate mind games from reality, then we were truly f*cked. Unless I sat and did nothing, which was also an option. But what if someone on our team was being attacked right before my eyes and needed my help, was I supp
Ellis. I opened my eyes and found myself on a field. I knew it was a dream. The field was beautiful, and the flowers and roses were in full bloom. It looked like a form of paradise, but I wondered who's paradise I was in. "Hello Ellis," A female voice called from behind. I turned around to see the same woman I kept seeing in my mind's eyes every time I came. I began to fear that a spirit witch had broken into my mind. I knew it was impossible, but nothing could explain why this woman was here unless the mages were messing with me again. The woman was beautiful, she had dark hair with brown skin. She was dressed in a beautiful red gown. "Hello, Ellis." She said again, " You called me yesterday, sorry I couldn't visit you. When I finally did, you were busy in the throws of pleasure with your lovers. You and William have a wild lifestyle, and I love it. I am amazed those mages are still together." She said with a big grin and the realisation of who she was dawned on me. " Dinah?" I
