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
113. Tessa's POVWe were already here and I was thinking of a way we could go in without notifying the people inside that there were intruders.We couldn't do that up the wall, we couldn't blast the wall and I didn't want to bring up the shield I was sure Mara had placed because by now I knew her work and so, we had to look for another way."Only if we had enough time to did a hole below the wall," Alex said."It's just that we don't know how deep the wall is," Mason said and I looked at them."Have you guys forgot who your wife is?" I asked and we were speaking though out link.I didn't even look to see whether the others were looking at us or not.All I know is that they must have been surprised to see us smiling and looking at each as if we were speaking but there was ni sound.But I was sure that the wolves knew what was happening.I looked at Alex and smiled at him because he had just given me and idea: dig below the wall.And since I could enchant the earth, I would try it one m
117. Tessa’s POVIt is evening already and I am all ready.I am wearing the wedding dress they bought me that day they proposed and I have no idea how they pulled this off because it is my size and the women of the pack can’t help but compliment me.I know I look gorgeous and I feel proud that it is my men who have made is possible.I am taken out of the house by mom, Alex’s mother, and the other women and taken to the makeshift hall that was erected just for this wedding.It was built for around a thousand people and I can tell that it is very small as there are people outside and some chose to climb trees and the roof had to be slid out even before time.I walk with mom up to the bog doors and the band is notified of my arrival and dad is there to walk me in.There is smooth violin music playing as per my request and I can’t help but smile as I watch my husbands in similar tuxedos waiting for me at the altar.I don’t know my heart is beating so loudly to a point that dad asks me to
116. Tessa’s POVThe wedding happened in the Silvano vampire clan. It was a white wedding.Maybe it’s because many vampires were once human and all but they do most of the things the way humans do.I didn’t worry though. No.However they, my mates, chose to hold the wedding, what I wanted at the end of the day was that they were mine and that we were now officially one.It was an odd wedding for many had never seen a trouple.When we decided that we hold the formal white wedding in the vampire clan and then the mating ceremony in our pack, I felt that it was the best decision we had ever made for then, everyone would have got their way and the people in the vampire clan would be able to see their alpha marry their queen but the problem came when murmurs started going round asking who Alex was.You should have seen the looks of shock when the person who was officiating the wedding married us.It was strange though because instead of two people, there were three.“Alpha Mason Jason Sil
115. Tessa’s POVSince my children were taken, this was the moment I had really dreamt about.I had always fantasized of how I will react when I see Mara and Jamila.The pain they gave me was still fresh in my mind and I loathed them more for the fact that I didn’t have the luxury of suckling my children or even holding them and feel the warmth of a mother.I was all powered up and was ready to finally face them.“Hello little girl? I see you have got some guts,” Jamila said and I guess that she was underestimating me.She though that she was facing the same girl who couldn’t help herself because she was n the loins of labour.“Hello Jamila? Long time no see. I see you have grown some guts for a new vampire like you,” I mocked and that wiped the ugly smile on her beautiful face.“I am here for two things…” I began but Jamila interrupted me.“To get killed and buried here?” She asked me and then even without warning, she jumped at me.She was so fast that I was impressed since she wasn
114. Tessa's POVI looked at Mara and laughed.Maybe she thought that she had everything under control and she didn't understand how we were here."How did you get here?" She asked again and I laughed."Through the gates of course.Or is this your coven?" I asked and she seems to have nothing to say to that.The woman who was with her seemed to realise that I wasn't Mara's friend even though I had called her aunt and she run towards me.Mara tried using the little magic she had to pull her back but I tripped her by enchanting the soil below where she was standing and she fell."Go and save those who are locked in that room," I told my mates and they agreed in unison but my eyes were still on Mara."Where are the children?" I asked the woman who had come to hide behind me."They are with that vampire in my parents house where they are holding them," she told them and I enchanted any rope I could find and they tied up Mara and I asked the woman to lead the way.Now that the cloaking spe
