Chapter 69Scarlett opened her eyes slowly and looked over at sleeping Lan. His arms were wrapped around her in secure ways which were preventing her from moving around.She felt saved anyways and secured in his arms.She watched him for a moment, admiring the nice carved cheekbones and how silently he snores. He was very handsome too.Everything seemed to have happened so fast before she could even blink her eyes. But what matters was that her mate was beside her and didn't want to let her go.She wasn't going to leave him anyways, she had no plan to.Scarlett snuggled closer, feeling the heat that their closeness brought. She was almost naked now and would have been so cold if it wasn't for the fact that she was hugging his chest.But she had a lot of things on her mind. And most especially, she wanted to eat something. She pulled away from Lan and drew the blanket closer to him.She looked at him again, admiring how handsome he looked while asleep. The breeze blew in through the w
Chapter 70Scarlett stood by the doorway and regarded Lan for a moment. Lan was still deep in sleep and was pulling the pillow so close to himself. Maybe he later discovered that Scarlett wasn't beside him or he hasn't, that she doesn't know.But his action brought a smile to her lips. Scarlett moved closer and climbed onto the bed, beside him. She arched her left hand and used it to support her head as she continued to look at the handsome face of her mate. A soft smile danced on her radiant face as she stared at his pale sleepy face.There was a slight smile on his face as he pulled harder at the pillow. Scarlett chuckled slightly. "You are so cute," she poutedShe contemplated pulling the pillow away and replacing its position but decided against it quickly. She still wanted to continue watching him.Scarlett pulled at his cheek slowly and Lan murmured something underneath his breath.He shifted in his sleep and some strands of hair fell over his face. Scarlett reached for the ha
Chapter 71Scarlett felt so excited about the whole thing that she couldn't help but leap up with joy at intervals.Lan couldn't help but notice how happy she was. "You are so excited," he observed with a smile on his lips.Scarlett looked up at Lan. "Of course! I'm excited, do you think we should run?" She proposed.Lan laughed. " You think? No! That's not really good enough," he laughed again. Scarlett has never been so excited. " Fine! I will hop!" Scarlett announced suddenly and started hopping. She almost tripped but Lan was fast enough to pull her back. He held her close to his chest so that he could hear the mad beating of his heart.Excitement filled with heat in her and she laughed. "I can't wait to meet them, sincerely. I've missed Oliver so much."Lan nodded and kisses her on the forehead. "I know, I'm sure by now, even the trees know how excited you are."" Really?" Scarlett asked in amazement. " Does it show that much?"Lan chuckled and pulled back her hair, then licked
Chapter 72It looked as though the world stopped for a moment maybe it did. The air, the leaves, and the trees could barely move.Stagnant! Scarlett could hear every heartbeat, the fear crept into her slowly. She felt bloated, then it took on the anger she had been keeping in for so long. The witch killed Elder Quinn but she didn't have to forget that she wanted to kill her as well and she had almost succeeded. Though, she wondered how she found such a place. It was like she had a secret agent.She was a witch after all. Who knows the audacity she had? Anything could have given her the power and the bravery.All gazes turned to look at Meera. She wolf she had hit was still unconscious by the tree. One of the pack members rushed to her. They eventually took her inside the pack house.But who really was the woman? How could she have so much effect on them? How could she move even people with a snap of her hand?Eleanor was more than scared. She had never seen something as such and it fr
Chapter 73Scarlett couldn't stand the sight of the witch that had killed her beloved Elder Quin. She looked at the people around her, all of them were scared and standing in one place as the witch examined one of their own. Maybe they think she was some reasonable person that will listen to them and leave when she sees that they pose no threat to her. Naturally, she knew from experience that the possibility of the witch ever being reasonable is a zero to ten. There isn't any point in waiting while she searched and scrutinized someone else, she seemed drawn to the other girl and even that fact still made Scarlett sort of jittery. She could be planning something, she could be seeing something that would give her an edge against them, and judging from the way she was examining the other girl, she might just be the key.Scarlett watched as they traded a back and forth with their looks, silent messages that made her feel jittery. Meera looked like a fox on the hunt and the other girl loo
Chapter 74Eleanor looked on at the scene that was unfolding before her eyes with surprise. A very bad feeling started gurgling deep in her chest. Like the fact that the witch actually got her sight set on her was not enough, she was also near invincible, the smoke that was pouring out of Scarlett's mouth looked like something that has been conjured out of a horror movie to her, like snakes or worms that were going into her mouth and her eyes, the fear she had for Meera multiplied a hundredfold and she felt the edges of her vision start to darken as her thoughts started getting darker and darker. She felt there would be no hope for her.Obviously, there was some sort of connection between her and the witch, she would have been stupid not to have noticed it by now and she had. She noticed the interest with which the witch always looked at her, asking her the same question over and over again and making her more scared than she has felt in a very long while now. Even Oliver's father a
Chapter 75The air of authority that was in Eleanor's voice was tangible enough that it sent a shiver down the spines of everyone present. The look on her face was one of pure annoyance and you could see that she was on her last nerve.The more she walked towards Meera, the faster Meera seemed to retreat. The closer she walked to the witch, the faster she seemed to want to get out of there and make sure that she came back on another day so that she wouldn't be so confused. What she was seeing just didn't make any sense to her.Eleanor was getting more furious by the minute. She noticed that all she needed for her powers to be activated was a touch from Meera, just a single touch, and her powers came to life, and here was the person who made it happen, running away from her after almost torturing her senseless. She could feel the power rolling through her, lighting up her bones and everything around her from her eyes, on the inside she felt like she was dancing in a deadly warmth that
Chapter 76Eleanor stood shocked at the fact that Oliver had almost slapped her. She looked on as he threatened to do everything bad to anyone that hurt his family and she felt a strange sense of longing in her, she also wanted a family like that. She also wanted to be someone that Oliver would want to protect with everything and anything that he had. The thought crossed her mind that the possibility of being part of his family was still possible, if she was his mate, if she was the one the moon goddess had chosen for him, then all that would be possible. She and Oliver would be able to work through all these slight complications and even if he looked at her like he resented her power now, he could still come to love her later when he discovered the full extent of what she can do. She stood there, imagining what a life with Oliver would be like and she loved it. She would be his mate, like it or not, so when Meera issued a threat to him, insinuating that she would hurt him and his fa
