Laura growled lowly, "I've had enough of that bastard." She gritted out, as she and Larry got into her car.Larry shrugged, then ruffled his hair."I'm bound to it till I die Laura. There's nothing I can do about it." Earlier on when Douglas had asked Larry to talk about the second prophecy, Larry had found himself unable to talk.Douglas laughed sardonically when Laura tried to prod it out of him. Laura was frustrated and Larry looked like he was about to burst into tears when Douglas asked her to stop."He can't say anything about it, Laura. Neither can Caleb. Even Mendez sitting there cannot ask questions about it. I'll do the same to you if you continue pandering me."Laura growled."I'm Alpha," Douglas whispered menacingly, lacing his tone with dominance. "You will respect my decisions and stop questioning me."Snarling Laura stomped out of the conference room. "Get out!" Douglas barked, making Larry jump to his feet and scurry after Laura. "Now we can discuss tactics," Doug
"They met again and have agreed to work together to kill you and Andrew." The muscular tan-skinned man said.Douglas growled,"Of course they did.""There's also a plan to stop Andrew from finding a solution. They're going to try to get him to leave." He added.Douglas sighed,"Place a bounty on their heads. The moment Mendez travels out of Brighton he should never be able to return. Have assassins waiting on him in New York. Make a fake attempt at his wife and daughter's lives. It'll send him running back to New York, where he'll take his last breath."The Shadow grinned."Wise one, Alpha.""Caleb?" Douglas sneered."Let him be for now I'll handle him myself.""Noted, Nicole?""That twat is in on it too?""We doubt she knows about the main plot to kill you and Andrew, but Mendez wants to ensure that she's Luna of Brighton. She resisted, but will have to get with Caleb as part of the deal."Douglas smirked,"Place a bounty on her head but leave her. If by some malfunction they succee
Humans. Humans. Fae. Sprite. Humans. Undead. Human. Human. Humans. Human. Ghost. Human. Humans. Humans. Emily counted every being that entered the bar. Her hands twitched nervously below her table. Her date was running late. He was never late. She inhaled deeply and rearranged her hair. She'd sensed that something was wrong when Samantha called her and instructed that she meet up with him immediately. To make matters worse, she had not fully recovered from Shirley's attack. There's no need to worry. He'll be here. She tried to assure herself.David, her date albeit a fake one, was her team's informant who worked at the sorcerer's fight club. They met regularly and pretended to be very in love while swapping information. This particular date was impromptu though because it was rumored that they were about to move the kids. After all, the sorcerer suspected some of his workers. Samantha had immediately set a meeting with David to confirm it.Her mind drifted back to Jacqueline's reacti
"Miss you're taking up space, your time's up." The waitress announced loudly.Emily's head snapped up.The chatter in the bar died down and all eyes turned towards her booth. She gritted her teeth as she quickly wiped the tear off.She cleared her throat."My … Uhm ... I'm about to …." She stuttered."Miss!" You've held up this table for hours now. If that was your date he has left. You didn't even order anything. I know he broke up with you, take heart. Time's up. I need this table, it's a full house tonight." The waitress interrupted rudely.Emily gasped, holding her chest. She then grabbed her things, stood up abruptly, and darted to the ladies’ room.She burst into the dimly lit restroom, startling the couple making out in front of the mirror. She grabbed a toilet sink, trying to hold back her tears. They started falling out stubbornly. She quickly emptied the contents of her purse into the sink and grabbed her phone, dialing the first person she could think of. Jacqueline.Jacque
Confusing Caleb was almost too easy. He'd been falling for their silly pranks since they were younger.This version wasn't difficult to put together and as expected, Caleb fell for it. As planned, they'd driven in circles around Brighton, stopping at the homes of random pack members, whom Larry assured either suffered dementia or were utterly paranoid, cooked up lies about the next person that'll visit(Caleb) and left instructions for them to dish out to him. When they were leaving they pretended that they'd found out something important, knowing that Caleb would want to know what they knew.They instructed the last person they met to tell Caleb that he'd sent them away because his memory was foggy but that he would give him a map that'll help him. Then dropped a fake map they'd created on the way."That'll keep him busy." Larry joked as they drove off. Andrew chuckled,It'd been a while since they'd had that amount of fun together. It reminded him of how they had taken turns to pran
"The Prophecy about the Chosen one is in three parts. It's really one prophecy divided into three parts because they came at different times. I don't have the original text of course but I'll get my family's grimoire in which they were copied." The old woman said getting to her feet, she hobbled the small shelf and grabbed a thick brown leather book, flipping through it as she returned to her position."Aha," she cleared her throat, "Let's start.""Two lands, two people. One beast, one lethal. Once one, now crippled.The son is come, a child of the beast to free his people,From the clutches of what they deem evil.When the cycle is complete, The beast will awaken,Powers hidden will come to light, And finally, victory shall beWhen the time is come, the son is come, Chosen to defeat, unearth and end the feud. Bringing victory to one people.""That's the first prophecy, the one which makes your people believe that you're their savior.""Interesting," Andrew muttered. Larry smiled,
Caleb gasped for air and slumped on a tree trunk. Glancing at the map in his hands he wondered why it led him around Brighton instead of to the solution to the feud with the witches.When he'd snatched the map out of the trembling old man, he expected that it would lead him to a sort of secret cave or tomb engraved with ancient secrets. He didn't get any of that. Instead, he'd wandered around Brighton like a madman.He growled,"Those fools."Since he didn't know where to start, he decided to find out what Andrew was doing. He had a simple plan. Trail them and cause enough havoc that'll distract and slow them down.But when they started visiting the oldest pack members, he was so impressed by the idea that instead of going with his first plan, he decided to go in after them.Immediately they left a spot he rushed in and threatened the unfortunate fools he'd encountered into submission, asking them to tell him everything they'd told Andrew and Larry.Most of them were crazy and easily
"What are the updates on both your sons?" Mendez asked Douglas as they inspected Brighton's warehouse. Since they were planning a few attacks, they had to ensure that the gadgets and items Brighton had were effective and efficient.Douglas shrugged, "I have no clue. Both of them left Brighton today. Andrew's probably working hard to find the solution, while Caleb is shadowing him."Mendez chuckled,"You know those boys well enough." He said, " but I presumed you would shadow them, especially since this is a critical moment." "The shadows are on a more important mission."Mendez raised a brow,"Is there anything more important than Brighton?""Yes. My life. Some fool is after my life Elias and you know I don't joke with it."Mendez gulped,"Very soon news about their untimely deaths would spread, reminding the other fools and every other person that would even wish it, who's in charge." Douglas continued. "I'm not one to be played with.""Yeah, you're not." Mendez agreed, even though
