84. Tessa's POVThis was more than I ever thought. People are all related in one way or another and it is long time estrangement because of distance and regions that make us become strangers.Think of it, me and the oracle are relatives since I am a witch and his family is the first wizarding family."So, that means all wizards and witches are related?" I asked thinking of all the covens and wizard houses that were there."Of course but they separate because of ideals and practices.They differ in terms of how they should use magic and the beliefs for example.Should magic be used for goods or evil? Should they use it to rule the world or not?For example, as you might have seen, the Madeleines have been bad and have always been like that but the Wizards of Waverly aren't.It's all about the ideals," he explained.Why did I want to know all these? Because I am now a witch and I needed to know their histeoy before I could start.The Grimoire of the Caspers had all types of drawings and
85. Tessa's POVThe training started immediately the following day and I was required to be there at five in the morning but I never argued because I too, was eager to learn.I didn't show this to anyone or show my anxiety to anyone because I had worried my mates enough but each day I spent away from my children made me crazier than the previous one.My breasts were still swollen with milk and I would pump it with a special pump and preserve it.I was a vampire now and I needed my own freezer where to store the blood Mason and Alex got for us and I hid the milf below those papers full of blood.I am preserving it for my babies.I will look for them soon and I know that they will be with me.I haven't told anyone this because of I did, they would think I am obsessed and they would then start keeping an eye on me and I don't want that.I want them trust me again and then I would go, get our babies and then come back.I owe my mates that.I owe them out children.That's the least I can d
86. Tessa's POVI feel powerful and I think I am ready to face Mara and that woman whose name I don't care to remember.Did she even tell me her name?I just remember that she was Arabic and a vampire.Anyway, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that I get my babies back."Queen, what's on your mind? You seem bothered," Mason asks me as we eat dinner one evening after a hard day at work.Alex is back in helping manage the pack's affairs though they are still investigating the death of the wolves and trying to find out of they can get wind of where Mara might have taken our babies and Mason is juggling staying here in the pack helping Alex, helping his father with their clan and also investigating the vampire world to see whether he too, will hear any wind of the vampire that took out boy.I am still in disbelief that I had a boy and a girl.All along I was pretty sure that I was carrying two boys.All the same, it doesn't matter. They are my babies."Oh, I'm just happy that I am le
87. Mason's POVWhile eating breakfast, we both - I Alex and I, could tell that Tessa wasn't get normal self.We know she's been hiding milk in the cooler where we keep our blood but we didn't call her out on it.We know she misses the children because those babies were the same reason why she had gone into hiding.We know it isn't easy staying away from them because it isn't easy on us too. We are their dads.But we also know that Tessa has it hard as she struggled with the pregnancy alone and so, she might feel closer to then than we do.Because of all this, we knew Tessa might make a stupid decision like going to look for the children alone and that's why we made her take that oath that whatever we do, we will be doing it as a family.That oath was to keep her safe.But today, Tessa wasn't herself. Her mind was too off for us not to notice.Also, the oracle has told us and we have also discovered that she has really changed.According to the old man, she might be overwhelmed with a
88. Mason's POV"Then why has she changed? This isn't the Tessa we all know.This isn't the girl I grew up with and fell in love with.This.... This... She's....," Alex couldn't even finish what he wanted to say.It seemed that he was so surprised by everything that was happening that he couldn't believe that was his Tessa.I was there with him though.For the few months I followed him and Tessa before she got kidnapped and I had to reveal myself to them, I thought she was very sweet.From the way she treated her clients and her employees to the chemistry the two of them had, I could tell that she was a sweet girl.But now looking at her wanting to kill Maria even without flinching and not feeling sorry for it, this wasn't your Tessa."Alpha, have you ever heard of the saying that power corrupts?Even the best among us get corrupted by power if they are not careful.Tessa is able to enchant and she can even enchant someone's soul out of them leaving them a shell of their former self.
89. Tessa's POVDid I regret what I did to that old omega?Not one bit.I feel strong.I feel like the world is on my feet and I want to prove it.There are no wolves or any animal around.It was like they knew there is a powerful being on their wake and they ran away.I am not disappointed anyway. There is a lot I could do to amuse myself.So, I use the trees.I sap the energy out of them and watch them as they shrivel and it is so satisfying.I walk until I come across this big river.I have never been this far in the forest by the way and that means that I am in a new place that I have never been in.You see, this place being other's jurisdiction, there is no way I would have come.I also feel like the old Tessa was a weakling and she wouldn't have dared do such a thing.I am powerful and I didn't fesr any being.So, I sit by the bank and I am feeling hungry.I need food and since I am in a river, how about enchanting some fish.Water isn't my forte like the earth is but I can stil
90. Tessa's POVI stand and look at them."Who wants to go first?" I ask as I turn to finally look at them.Thwy look at each other and they are both shaking.I think they have realized that I wasn't the weak damsel in distress they thought I was when they first saw me.I let them go and they look at each other and then turn into their wolves and run.I chuckle as I look at them run and I give then a three minute or so headstart and then I am with them.I don't even run very fast.No. I was literally walking.When I catch up with them, I lift them by the bac of their necks and walk back with them.They are both whimpering and they are afraid.Death has never been a good experience and I speak from experience.Even those who have never died like me fear death."Stop wriggling!" I shout at one of them who keeps trying to get free and I throw both of them in the ground.I look at them in their wolf forms and I can tell they are thinking of running away again."Don't even think about it I
91. Mason's POVTessa was in danger and we knew it.I didn't know what breaking the curse would do to her but at least we knew she was still alive because we could still sense her.It wasn't like that night she died when all we felt was a strange coldness where her bond used to be."Dad, what's would happen if anyone broke a blood oath made by us three?" I asked my dad as Alex and I supported each other to go back to the house.The pain was no longer there but the aftermath was evev as more unpleasant."It depends with what the person's intentions were.If they were pure, it would be an unpleasant thing but not really painful.For example, imagine you give your mates the promise that you will never kiss anyone again but a situation arises where you have to give someone the breath of life.Would that be considered cheating?" He asked me."Not really," I answered because saving a life without any other intentions whatsoever."Exactly. But, if someone breaks it with selfish reasons, then
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
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
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
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
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
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
