105. Alex's POVWe were all of the idea that Mintra would help Tessa get a hold of her powers.Little did we know that we had brought a beautiful monster in the name of a saviour in our midst.But I thank all the gods out there for giving Tessa the strength to resist and even get out of it whole.I didn't think, even I my wildest imaginations, that someone would try to have one on us in our very own midst.Anyway, she had it coming and I hope that it was all worth it.When Tamia said it and Mintra confessed and we all saw the envy in her face, we knew that it was by good luck that our mate wasn't hurt by the whole thing.I was feeling responsible.The reason why Tessa is doing all those things is so that she coukd be the ideal wife she thinks we all want.But that's not what we want.We want a Tessa who is herself.Anyway, it was all well because it ended well.After we hot home, none of us was saying anything and it was all weird and I was sure thay even Mason had the same thoughts I
106. Tessa's POV"When I asked mama whether she knew where Mara is, she told me that they didn't have powers to monitor things on earth.But she told me that not to forget that Mara and I share the same blood.What I think she meant was that I can trace Mara using my own blood," I told the family as we were eating.I was well again and all was back to normal and it was time for action.I had also learnt almost all the spells in the two grimoires that were with the oracle and I could now control my powers.I have oreacticed enough and although many are times I feel pulled to do bad things, I am becoming better and better at resisting it.I am feeling my mind with good thoughts and with my family and it has really helped."Oh my goddess! Why hadn't we thought about that since the beginning.She's your aunt and you two thus share blood.Also, she took your blood and I am sure that strengthened the bond between you two," Dad said in realization.I also didn't understand why we never thoug
107. Tessa’s POVWe were ready.It has been two days since I located Mara and the locations haven’t changed in the map.This means that she is still where I saw her.We decided to start with the Madeleine Coven because that is the most probable place that she could be since it is her coven and then we will check who in the Wanderers Coven shares blood in me.But from my guess, maybe someone from the Madeleine Coven got married in the Wanderers Coven.That was the easiest explanation I came up with but anyway, the priority was rescuing Adriel and Abigail.Oh, yes. We already named our twins. Since they were our babies, we would go with the names us three chose and not the names their kidnappers gave them.We thus did our research because we wanted something exotic. Something not common yet matching.So, we went with Adriel and Abigail.And the reason we took two days before confronting Mara and Jamila was because we knew they had an army.Mara wouldn’t just sit and wait for us to atta
108. Tessa's POVIf this was the old Tessa, she would have blast this tree aort but this Tessa has been learning patience and doing things the way they are supposed to be done.For example, I have learnt that if I blast this tree, two things might happen: one, nothing and I would get access.Two, it might blast everyone apart of the person who spelled it put such a spell.So, the only way to make sure that I didn't take any unnecessary risks is to do it the right way.So, I held onto the bark at the place where the magical key was supposed to go and started chanting.After a while and after directing my powers in it, I heard a click.What I was expecting was the door to open and give us access.But all of us were surprised because the tree moved.Yes, it was literally the tree that slid out of the way and there was a shiny stair case running downwards in a spiral."Found the stairs.I am going in," I told Alex and Mason."Be careful.""Take care."Was all they said and I smiled.Final
109. Mason’s POVI was with the last group that was keeping watch of the periphery of the coven’s jurisdiction and I was also to act as back up to Alex’s group.When we were planning this, I wanted the three of us to be in the same group and so did my half souls.But if we wanted to succeed, I knew that Tessa and Leo were right. We needed to stick with the strategy.Leo was with Alex since they were like one. A beta had to stick with his alpha.Tessa was keeping us updated with what was happening to her in the first group and so far, they hadn’t found Mara.They had, however, found a secret entrance and it was she only who went down.The wolves that were with her told Leo that after she stepped on the first staircase, it floated away and the place where it was turned to earth and the tree slid to place again. That meant that if Tessa didn’t come out and soon, we needed to look for the services of another witch who would help us open the door again.But for now, that wasn’t even the pr
110. Tessa’s POVThe woman I was with fainted as soon as we left the hurt and she congratulated me.From her reaction, I could clearly tell that she wasn’t a big fan of her big sister.She was so happy when we left the hut that it made me smile.Now, I had to carry her and look for a way out.I couldn’t see the gate I came in through and the place looked like it was curved straight out of the ground and there was no way out because it was a round wall all around us.I tried shaking Martha awake and she didn’t even stir.I even tried using my powers to see whether they would nourish her enough to wake up and nothing.I regretted not listening to the oracle when he told me to learn a few basic healing spells. I never thought I would ever need them as I was surrounded by wolves and vampires who could heal themselves when and if trouble arose.When I realized that she wasn’t waking up any time son and if I dilly dallied she would die here, I took it upon myself to look for a way out.If
111. Tessa's POVWe were back home but without our children but with an unconscious aunt of mine whom I had never met before today and a badly beaten up vampire."Why did you have to beat him that much?" I asked Mason when I saw the condition the vampire was in.He shrugged his shoulders and gave that smile he always gave when he didn't have a good explanation for something."He… he said that alpha vampires were overrated and I wanted to show him that we weren't overrated," he said and Alex slapped him on the shoulder in that way men do."Good. He shouldn't have underestimated my mate," he said and they both smiled at each other."Alex, stop encouraging him! He could just have bitten him and that would have paralyzed him," I told them although I didn't use a stern voice."It won't happen again not unless they underestimate us again," Alex said and I rolled my eyes at him.He talked as if he was the one who beat up the man.We couldn't ask them any questions because they were both unco
112. Tessa’s POVI was engaged and getting married.It’s not that they would never have married me, no, it would have definitely happened since we are mates and all, but the fact that they thought of doing this for me, it meant the whole world to me.The fact that they proposed to me means that they want to marry me not because it is a duty they have to fulfil but because they are truly in, love with me.That is why I feel blessed and glad that I realized my ways before I could lose them.I love my mates.We are a crazy combination but I love us.They had prepared all kinds of dishes and most were my favourite: KFC.Even in such a situation, nothing beats a well fried chicken drumstick, fries and ice cream.If I had a say on what was to be served in my wedding, I would go with buckets and buckets of KFC chicken and burgers and fries.And then the desert will be bucket loads of ice cream.There was a knock on the door and Alex went to answer it.“Alpha, the vampire is awake,” it was on
