“Morning, sleepyhead” I fluttered my eyes open to the voice of Hunter waking me up with a touch on the shoulder. Then I sprang up to my feet immediately as if startled by something.“Oh my God, sh*t, I fell asleep” I cursed, alarmingly grabbing my face when I realized that I fell asleep here last night, which I wasn't supposed to.I was supposed to stay awake all night, watching over Hunter while he slept, that was the plan. “Yeah, you did, I don't know why you are so stubborn and wouldn't listen. I told you over a million times to go back to your room and sleep, but you insisted on staying to watch over me like some guardian angel” Hunter said to me, sounding a little contemptuous, but I didn't mind that and was more amazed at him being able to stand on his own and was able to trace where I was too. I fell asleep in his study chair and desk, which were just a few meters away from his bed. “Wow, you can walk” I chuckled with excitement, pointing at his feet.“Yeah, of course I c
Alpha Gordon's PovI clutched my chest, hearing it beat so loud while watching Kimberly walk away from me, more like running away from me. I can't tell what it is, but this was the second time that my heart would randomly start to beat around her presence. “That's so weird” I rubbed my chest and shook my head, trying to get rid of her image in my head. She was no longer here but I could still see her image in my head. Now, it wasn't only my heart, but my mind starting to act abnormally as well. “Ugh, f**k this” I forced the door to Hunter's room open, entering the place to talk with him. I almost forgot he was the reason I came down here in the first place, lost in thoughts regarding Kimberly.I seriously hope that this doesn't continue. ****Getting inside the room, I found Hunter seated on the bed and playing with a poker card in his hands. He sensed my presence immediately and shifted his attention to me.“I've been expecting to see you, brother” He welcomed me into the room, st
Kimberly’s PovNothing makes me feel so comfortable than when I just had a refreshing bath, which usually clears up my mind and leaves me in a very peaceful state. I feel so much better now that I'm away from Hunter, who I stayed up all night watching, only for him to end up almost wanting to ruin this day for me. I didn't actually stay up all night since I ended up falling asleep, it wasn’t intentional though.But after dealing with him, I went outside the room only to meet Gordon, who then made everything ten times worse when he suddenly stirred up some feelings inside of me, which were dead and were supposed to remain that way. “That's crazy” I muttered under my breath, grabbing the blow-dryer to dry the water out of my hair, which was dripping water in the room. As soon as I plugged it, I got a knock on the door. “Of course, here we go again” I rolled my eyes, reluctantly getting up from the floor to go answer the door. I didn't bother to ask who was knocking since it didn’t m
After I informed Skye regarding Hunter’s blindness, she dropped the traveling bag and left to go see him immediately. Her face which was once lightened with excitement turned into a scowl and I felt so bad for her. Though I told her not to worry since it was temporal and he would be getting his sight back in the evening. However, it didn't seem to give her hope as she ran out of the room, looking devasted.“He's going to be okay. But please be careful running out, Skye!” I yelled, telling her to be cautious of the way she was running. She could bump into someone and that is not a very good idea, I'm totally speaking from experience.“God, I've never ran that fast before” I watched in awe, how fast Skye was going. She was literally running so fast that her shadow couldn't be seen. I grabbed the doorknob to close the door, unable to see her anymore but was met with Michelle, who was coming now to see me. Sh*t, it's time to go be a test subject. I cursed inside my mind, groaning inwa
At exactly 8:pm in the evening, Freya stood outside of the righteous headquarters, feeling the cold gentle breeze blowing on her face carrying her long black curly and unruly hair along with it spreading it on her back.She was mumbling something to herself with her eyes closed, in a low tone when Mia came into view."What are you doing?" Mia asked her, she was concerned about her. She searched the entire Headquarters in search of her but couldn't find her and now she stood alone outside of it muttering inaudible words to herself."I was saying a prayer before you interrupted" Freya popped an eye open, her face distorted at once, she wanted to be alone for a while that's why she came outside of the headquarters but it seems like anywhere she went, Mia would follow."Prayer about what?" Mia surprisedly asked her, "is anything bothering you?" Mia added, moving closer to check out if anything was bothering her."I'm cursed with death, so I'm praying to the last witches to help me get ri
The complex is so quiet that when a pin drops, the noise it would make would sound like a bomb blast, every single one of the righteous witches could be seen bowing down to the image of the last Ravened smith hung on the walls of the hall while some witches hummed some songs in harmony to brighten up the environment.Freya is performing the ritual and Mia could be seen helping her out. Freya climbed up to the altar positioned in the middle of the complex with a necklace that belonged to the last Ravened smith. In order for the ritual to be completed and end up successfully something belonging to the person the ritual is being performed for is provided for the ritual."We are grateful for all the times you saved us, you will forever be in our hearts dear Ravened," Freya enchanted with a white candle on her left hand and the necklace on her right hand walking round the pentagram circle making a stop at the end of the circle drawn on the solid glass tiles."Requiescat in pace".At the me
How Gary was able to escape from the torture chambers still baffles everyone in the headquarters, the torture chambers were built strictly by the last righteous witches council that ruled back in the days of the last Ravened smith restricting every magical being in it being it whoever.The only person in history to have been able to evade it was the dark lord "Ruger" and this time it was Gary, This one is probably going to be written down in history too. Gary is just an ordinary air witch, no spell he would use could have set him free from the bars of the chambers holding him unless he escaped with the help of someone outside of the chambers but then who could it be?.Everyone needed for the hunt for Gary is seen in Freya's bureau, this was a critical emergency. "He could not have gone that far from the headquarters".Freya mentioned to the heads and vice head of the righteous witches council and some other witches she needed in search of the Raven seed and Gary. Gary really went of
"Humanity must never know about magic or the Raven seed" Freya, head of the righteous witches council declared to Mia, making fireballs out of her hands towards one of the unrighteous witches chasing after her, burning him into ashes right away."But our only option right now are the humans, we have to find one we could trust to also give the Raven seed to and protect as u can see the righteous witches headquarters council is under attack now" Mia the vice head of the righteous council advised her as they kept on running in order to make it out of the council headquarters alive. They made it out alive through the glamour they used to protect the headquarters council from the unrighteous witches and humans."How on Earth did they find out where our headquarters was"? Freya threw the question to Mia who absolutely had no answer to the question."I really don't know but we must get the Raven seed to safe hands, we can't make it to the other righteous witches council headquarters they mi
“Well, but there's got to be at least something that you want and I can go get it for you” I insisted on getting Hunter something. Though he's likely going to say no, not wanting me to go errands for him since I'm doing it because he can't do it himself.He's going to see it as if I'm doing if because I'm still blaming myself for what happened to him. However, I have no problem running errands for him. After all, he needs someone to tend to him.I just hope he doesn't ask to be taken to the toilet, that would be an impossible task.“Are you trying to run away from me?” Hunter dropped an awkward, unexpected question, leaving me to stare at him in awe. I was right beside him, why does he assume that I'm running away from him? I was only going to get him water or something to fill his stomach with.“Me, running away from you? How?” I was confused.“You are literally trying to stay away from me, that's why you keep coming up with all these excuses. I never told you that I was hungry or th
“Oh God” I clutched my chest, letting out a deep breath of relief. I was holding in my breath and waiting for her to announce some bad news so I could pass out immediately. “But not for today or tomorrow” “What?! Why?” I didn't see that coming, so was taken by surprise when Michelle suddenly announced that Hunter wasn't going to be able to use his vision today or tomorrow. How cruel is that? It's literally a punishment! “Because it wouldn't wear off until tomorrow, by exactly the same time that this Anita or whatever you called her threw him that powdered substance in his eyes. I'm sorry, Hunter” Michelle apologized to Hunter, and walked away to put the torchlight back from where she had first gotten it. “I'll be right back,” I said to Hunter, letting him go to ask Michelle questions. There's got to be something that she can do to relief him of this situation. I can't eave Hunter lying helplessly like that. “I’m sorry, Michelle, but I don't understand, there's got to be som
“Ah, ah, ah, not so fast, tell us what we want to know first and the key would be yours” Hunter pulled the key away from her reach, but kept teasing her with it.Anita gave up after she couldn't reach the key, making a sad face.“So?” Hunter lifted a brow in question. “You just don't know when to give up, Hunter, do you?” She scoffed in disgust, crossing her arms across her chest and slowly moving backward, away from the gate.I looked at Hunter and he looked at me, then shifted his gaze back on Anita to say.“I will right after you tell me what I want to know” “Fine, if you insist, I might just say it then” Anita rolled her eyes, giving up and in to us. I reached out to Hunter, touching him by the arm and he looked at me with hope the same way I looked at him. She's finally ready to talk after wasting enough time, which we would have likely used to have gotten to somewhere else by now.“Have a seat” Anita pointed at the chair, kept beside the wall a few metres away from the cell.
I think there's a punishment for when one refuses to accept an offer or a job brought to them by an Alpha, but I didn't care about that when I turned down the job from Gordon to be his personal healer. I mean for him to be the one to come down to my room himself to let me know he wanted me as his personal healer. I'm not able to tell now if it was just a job offer or if he was being desperate. To be sincere, I was tempted for a minute to accept the job but I felt better, rejecting it. I think accepting to be his personal healer has more to it than it sounded. He's literally going to turn me into a maid, yup, I think that's what was going to happen if I had said yes to him.I slammed the door shut after he left and was far gone so he wouldn't think I desposed him that much, with the way I slammed the door. “Be his personal healer?” I scoffed,“I think he must have been kidding” I moved away from the door and to the bed, where I sat and let out a deep breath.I clutched my chest and c
"I told you, there is no one more important to Al than Claudia!"As they continued to tease, he glanced down and swiftly messaged Victoria.'I don't need the umbrella anymore. Head home first.'Victoria was puzzled when she received the message. 'Did something happen?' she messaged back.She stared down at her phone for a long time, but there was no reply.Perhaps he was really busy.She decided to head back first."Wait."Someone suddenly called out to her from behind. She turned around to see two fashionable young women walking over to her.The taller woman glanced at her and disdainfully asked, "You're Victoria Selwyn?"Since hostility was painted all over that woman's face, Victoria did not hold back and briskly shot back, "You are?""My name is not important. What is important is the fact that Claudia is back. If you're smart, you'll get away from Alaric."Victoria's pupils shrank in astonishment.It had been so long since she last heard that name. So much time had passed that...
"How do I find the 'Ravened'? I don't even know where to start. I mean it's been 5 years since I left the council. I don't want anything to do with magic or the seed anymore. I don't even know the 'ravened'" Felix runs a hand on his head"."where on earth do I even start to find, I mean I gave up on magic years ago and now you appear on my doorstep telling me I have to find some 'Ravened' I don't even know. I have got a family now I don't need any danger near them" Felix said to freya, looking puzzled."The righteous seer Agnes gave a prophecy that another 'Ravened' lives but we don't know who the 'Ravened' is so I made up a lie in order to keep the Ravened safe wherever they were from the unrighteous, only the head and vice heads of the righteous witches council knows it's not a myth, the 'Ravened' is real it's a person but we don't know who"Freya blinks her eyes."That's why it is now up to you to find out who and keep them safe, the dark days are coming but…" She got cut short of w
"You have a fever?" His voice was gentle as he placed the back of a hand against her forehead.With his unexpected proximity, she jerked to the side. Nonetheless, he found humor in her response. "I'm only testing your temperature," he said.Dominic then turned around and pulled out a thermometer. "Let's get a reading of your temperature."Victoria accepted the thermometer."You know how to use it, right?" Alaric asked as he stood behind her.His question rendered her speechless. However, she chose to ignore him. What makes you believe I have no idea how to use a thermometer?Nevertheless, her movement was sluggish because she was so sick that her head spun.Once the thermometer was in place, Dominic told her to leave it there.Seeing that, Claudia seized the chance to introduce her friend to Alaric."Al, this is Dominic. I mentioned you to him before over the phone. He's an amazing doctor, but he loves his freedom so much that he decided to open a clinic instead when he returned. Domi
Still, she did not question it too much and asked the Cadogans' family driver to send her to the country club."You may head back first," she said to the driver upon arrival."Do I not need to wait for you, Mrs. Cadogan?"She paused for a moment before shaking her head. "It's fine. I'll wait to head home with Alaric."Since she was here for him, she would head home with him.With that, Carter, the driver, soon drove off.The rain had started as a drizzle, but it was now a heavy storm.With the umbrella held over her head, she walked to the entrance of the country club.It was a luxuriously decorated golf club. She was stopped at the door."I'm sorry, miss, but please show me your member card," the employee said.She took a moment to think about her next action before finally messaging Alaric.'I'm here. When are you done with work? I'll be waiting for you downstairs.'Once she was done, she stood near the entrance with the umbrella. As she stared at the rain, she thought about the pre
“Wow, what happened to you? I don't remember you being this romantic and also able to make those moves despite being blind” Skye teased, turning around as I spinned her again. This was our way of making up and I'm actually happy that she's playing along with it, and not wanting to argue further with me regarding my blindness.“Maybe, being blind isn't so bad after all since it turned me into Mr romantic” I winked at her and heard her giggle like a baby. “And I'm only blind, not paralyzed” I added, letting her know that.I don't know why everyone keeps thinking that I'm unable to move or do anything just because I'm blind. I can't believe I have to keep reminding them about that. Now, I can't wait for evening to come, so this can all end. She suddenly stopped dancing along with me, pausing to say. “I'm so sorry I didn't come to see you first when I arrived. I went over to see Kimberly, we had a little issue before I left with Luna and I went to fix that problem with her. I could hav
