"Oliver?" Syler and Eleanor chorused his name in unison. They both couldn't believe their eyes.Who would have thought that Oliver would be so deep in the forest? Though Skyler knew Oliver might have gone after Scarlett, she still couldn't believe she could see at such a place and not even at such a time.Shock married Oliver's face as he regarded them for a moment as if fighting within himself if what he was seeing was right. Perhaps, he was just hallucinating.He left his mother and Eleanor at home, in the city. But how come she was in the woods at such a time?That aside, Oliver couldn't help but notice that Eleanor was only in a night robe. Was she coming over to that town in a robe? It was even weirder. And there was no fucking way that her mother would be in the rural area. She wanted to stay back and didn't even want Oliver to leave. Besides, she was supposed to stay back because of the pack. Without hesitation, while Oliver was still, Eleanor flew into Oliver's arms. She pus
Oliver watched them for a moment, as they both tried to free themselves and he couldn't take it any longer."Enough!" He screamed at once and the intensity of his voice forced the two girls to pull aside from each other Though, there were still signs that showed they wanted to continue the fight."Why are you fighting?" Oliver yelled again as he couldn't even take it again. He was there worrying about everything but they were fighting.Skyler was more than shocked but glad that her son got the situation undercover.Meanwhile, Leia was still worried about the mark she saw on Eleanor. She couldn't get the picture off her head as she tried to rack her brain on where she had seen the mark.Oliver let out a sigh and turned to look at Skyler again. Eleanor meanwhile was busy throwing daggers at Leia. Leia didn't have her time anyways."But mom, what are you doing in such a dangerous place? And is dad back at home?"Skyler sighed, unable to decide on how to start her story. She barely looke
"I did it!' Oliver yelled in excitement. "Wow! Great!" Leia smiled at him. "You did great!" She complimented, with an encouraging smile.Oliver pulled her into a deep hug, "I did it. I did it, thanks to you Leia. Thank you!" He stroked her back slightly, with a big smile plastered across his face.Leia nodded, proud of her mate. "You did great! I told you we can do it!"Oliver nodded quickly and pulled away from her. There was still a wide smile on his lips.Skyler stared at them in great surprise and awe. There was a smile on her face, a feeling of pride for her son. Her son could still use his power despite all these years of getting locked up. It was exciting and surprising as well.She suddenly had a change of mind. She wanted them to use their power. She wouldn't stop them again. Enough of hiding and seeking. It was time to showcase their talent.She was more than happy that Oliver was on the right track. She just hoped that nothing would stop Scarlett from doing that as well. S
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
