The earth heaved, revealing hidden hundreds of witches clad in black, each with the same eerie white cross on their foreheads. Their village, previously hidden by powerful spells, now stood exposed before us.I swallowed hard and turned to Seraphina and she also turned to me."I am so proud of you, I myself didn't know that spell, how did you know it?"I averted my gaze away from her, "I also didn't know how I was able to perform it.""Do you believe that indeed, you were meant to save the wolf's species?" I nodded but the waves of shock rippled through me and by the whispers behind me, I could sense the shock in all of my people too.I could also sense the astonishment in the eyes of the soldiers and our allies. If not for the witches' attacks, we would have passed by this hidden stronghold, unaware of the danger lurking within.The witches, realising their concealment had failed, quickly regrouped. Forming a tight circle, they clasped hands and began chanting. Their voices rose in
In one swift move, I was already on my heels and outside the room as if I wasn’t the one who was unwell. The only thing I could hear now was, ‘My mother!’She would be fine, right? Nothing would happen to her, right?Just a moment ago, we had been together, fighting side by side. What might have happened to her just now?All those thoughts kept replaying in my mind as I ran through the hallway, down the stairs, and into another hallway that led to the living hall. Something popped into my mind and I froze. She had no heart! She was living like a shadow!“Nooo!” I shouted at the top of my lungs as I increased my speed. Right now, I couldn't hear anyone speaking to me. I couldn’t see anyone beside me. All I wanted to see was Seraphina, my mother. Reaching the hall, my eyes started tearing up as I saw the woman on the couch, surrounded by some maids and other people I couldn’t recognize at this moment. I rushed to her and knelt on the floor, closer to the couch.“Baby girl.” She calle
“Prepare a feast to celebrate my mother and the fact that we won the battle!” I blurted out suddenly, and all the people around were shocked by my decision.Maybe I was evil. My mother had died, and instead of mourning her, I was preparing for a feast to celebrate.‘No. You are not. That is what she wants you to do. To be happy.’‘Thank you, Serene.’ I had never been so happy with my sassy wolf than today.‘You!’ She shouted, and I laughed.“Okay, a feast to celebrate a new beginning and a new life!” Ansel blurted out, and all the pack members, plus our guests, looked in our direction in shock.“Your queen is expecting an heir.” Maybe they didn't hear when my mother talked about her grandson. I didn't know.“Hail the queen of the Titanic Wave! Hail the queen of the Titanic Wave!” They all chorused, and Ansel helped me up.“Where is Edric? He wasn't at the battle?” I asked as Ansel led me in the direction of the stairs.“Three of his council members died, so he had to go.”“It was my m
EDNA POVI slowed down when I reached in front of the magnificent hotel. I was sure this was the place where I would meet him, my mate.But first, I had to make sure that I looked relaxed and hot before I entered the hotel. I had to make sure that my appearance alone, enchanted and called for his attention. It had been a long time since I had seen something beautiful in front of me, like this one.The hotel stood as a beacon of opulence, its facade adorned with intricate architectural details that whispered of grandeur. Its entrance, framed by elegant pillars, beckoned guests into a world of luxury, luxury that I would soon experience.Today was my day. No, not my day but our day together and we would enjoy it in this huge luxurious hotel! “A beautiful beginning!” That was what he said. I just hoped it would be him.My eyes wandered around the place and after seeing what I wanted, I happily ran to the spot and sat down. I was impatient to enter the hotel but at the same time, I had
“Is that so? Our witch has finally found her mate? How is it possible?” A male wolf who had been observing all of this chimed with a questioning look but I knew he was only mocking me so I dropped my eyes and gazed at the floor.“Who will we be harassing now, Shantel?” Another one asked but I remained quiet.“Let her go to him!” Shantel voiced out but by her voice, I could sense that she was angry at them. Wow, tables really could turn.“Edna, my best friend’s foster-sister, go and have fun, maybe it is your childhood sweetheart!” I melted and curled myself when I heard that. I couldn’t wait to see him now. “Have fun!” She repeated the words while giving her friends, her back while looking at me as she said that, causing me to nod but even a fool could sense that something was not okay here.Shantel wouldn't leave me just like that! Anyway, I had to use this chance and find my mate who might be Edric so that I could convince him to forgive them for what they had been doing to me all
Hearing that, Edric pulled himself from Mellisa's body and fell on the bed as his breaths were still all over the place. Sweat was still dripping from his forehead while on his face was a deep smile.I wondered what was so funny about him smiling that wide. Maybe Melissa was too sweet!I scrutinised him to see any sign of shame or fear that I had caught him cheating on me and bad mouthing me on his face but there was nothing on his face except happiness that I envied Melissa.He kept smiling shamelessly while still naked in front of me. He didn't even care that I had never seen him like that before. All this time he had been lying to me that he would wait for us to get married so that we could have sex but now he was there busy having it with Melissa. How stupid of me to believe him! How foolish of me to ignore Shantel's sudden change of tone towards me! Maybe they all prepared to humiliate me today so that I could disappear and leave them in peace!I turned my head and looked at Me
I stared at him for a few seconds with eyelids full of tears. I couldn't blink. The pain in my heart was a lot to bear. I was broken by everything today.My wolf Serene was also weak by the sudden denial of our mate.My life had been miserable since the time I came into this world from my mother's womb who was rumoured to have been killed by her own daughter, me. I had known pain that I was used to it. Despite people saying that I was a witch, that I was the daughter of the devil that I wasn't supposed to come into this world, I kept giving myself hope that one day, I would find my mate and he would protect me from everyone who would want to hurt me. It turned out that the mate I was yearning for was my own boyfriend! Unfortunately, he was cheating on me with my enemy and that on the day that I had just found him. He even dared to deny the fact that he was my mate saying that my enemy was his mate. How could he say that?“Y-you are my mate Edric!” I didn't want to give up. He was,
“Are you for real?” Shantel who was still in shock for what had happened earlier asked to be sure. I also was shocked by what Edric had just said that I was eagerly waiting for what he would say next. ‘Maybe he will continue taking our side!’ My wolf suggested causing me to bite hard on my lower lip to suppress the pain that was caused by Rushi on my hand.Everyone was looking at him, including me, “It's true! She is my mate too!”“How dare you say that, Edric? Are you denying our mating bond now after all your promises to me? And what do you mean by saying that too?” Yes, too? What did he mean by that? “Melissa, you are the love of my life and you will continue to be. I will always love you and I am very happy that you are my mate,” He broke the silence,“We will get married as quickly as possible if the future Alpha would allow his beta to marry before him!” Boom! Was he out of his mind? Why marry her and I was the true mate? More tears rushed down my cheeks that I went numb on my
