Ammon looked exhausted nevertheless, he had no choice but to explain to the inquisitive witch. I'm sure he knows it was the right thing to do. If he must get all the help he wants from Leah then, he must be willing to open up and cooperate with her."It all started when my half-wolf brother conspired against me with some wolves. I was defeated. I'm ashamed to admit defeat but that was what happened," he bent down as he speaks. "I was banned from our pack and sent into exile."Startled, Leah responded. "This doesn't make any sense. I'm still trying to figure out what you have narrated has got to do with the magic book you seek?""Yes, it may not be connected to the magic book from the little explanation I have made so far but trust me, it does. Maybe you should listen to the full story as it happened." "You may proceed," Leah gave her the order to continue. "Yes, Leah a witch named Magaritha, I'm sure you have heard that name before, Helped him to fight against me with her powerful m
Hours have passed now, and we have long had our supper. Leah's health has improved significantly so far. The herbal mixture did the work of an antidote on her. For the first time, I was beginning to have so much freedom that, I could go outside all on my own, and that was what I did. I have been sitting alone at one of the benches built by the alpha. I stared at the moon and imagined all kinds of myths and folklore tales I have heard about the heavenly body. The moon has been said to play an important role in the world of magic and sorcery. Just like some werewolves needed the moonlight to activate the Lycan powers, so do some witches with advanced knowledge who needed the lunar light to activate some rare magic spells. I'm an amateur witch therefore, the prospect of digging to know exactly what kind of powers that can be tapped from the moon is out of the agenda. I kept gazing at the moon as well as enjoying my thought, when all of a sudden, I felt a hand patched at my back. It was
'Okay first, he placed his hand on my shoulders, my upper arms, and fingers, now that we have fallen into a moment of silence, what's next?' I reasoned."So tell me Loius, what was life like before the Revolutionists invaded the castle where did you and your kind live?" His hands began to move again. This time, his left hand touch the side of the rib down to my abdomen. Just what he wanted was something I can not figure out."Life was good, enjoyable and sweet," I replied to him with sweet words to describe how was before disaster struck. "Although I missed the-mother-figure in my life, lady Gia did her best to make me feel less ungrateful in life. She treated me like she was my mother. Not just me but, other orphaned witches who were brought to the castle felt the same way under her. She was all we had. She was the pride of the witches. All witches who were previously maltreated, or sent away by my wicked Aunt Magaritha, were all welcomed by lady Gia. I believe that was what made Mag
The alpha cackled for some seconds. "I thought you have to figure out how they were able to do that?""Don't be ridiculous, how am I going to do that? Come on!" I almost laughed aloud."Hey, you are a witch. Must I do all the digging for you all the time? Can't you use your magical powers to foretell the future?" He teased me but, I didn't take it lightly. Was he making fun of me because I'm falling short of exploiting my abilities as a witch?"You know what?" My voice sounded mean. At the same time, I moved my head away from his chest in protest of his annoying jokes."What?" He fixed his eyes on me. Perhaps, he is wondering if he had made me angry with his little-annoying joke."Just forget about sir! Keep your secrets to yourself, if you don't want to share them with me," I turned my face away from him and stared to my left indefinitely. In that way, I avoided any further eye contact with him. To make the situation more intense, I folded my arms like a housewife trying to take a st
I was stunned for some seconds as the unimaginable was unfolding. I pulled out my mouth reluctantly although, it felt good. "What is this all about?" I shouted.He returned his hands to my shoulders, his eyes dilated. He was acting so gentle at the moment. His behaviour at the moment further increased my desire to have him back in the compromised position. However, I held back."Loius," he called and was about to continue as I looked at him but, that never happened. He never completed his sentence as Leah emerged from the cottage. I was pretty sure she caught us in a questionable position. "Clara," Leah called and began walking towards where were seated by then, the alpha had withdrawn his hands. There was relatively no body contact between us again. "Oh, there you are!" She sat beside me, by the left, while the alpha sat beside me, by the right. "What are you two doing out here by this time? Don't tell me you want to be an active witch again?" She teased."Hi Leah, how are you feeli
Soon, it became clear to us that the shadow we saw was no other but Eric's. He had suddenly woken up. Perhaps, he heard our voices and decided to join in the party. "Hey guys," Eric began. "I thought you ought to be asleep but no, you are all here having a good time." He stared at the moon. Perhaps, just like us, he had noticed how irresistible it was to watch the moon that night. "Would you three mind if I join you?""Sure you can," I adjusted and so did Leah Ammon. Eric was able to find a spot and sat with us. "What a night!" He said. "Ammon, do you remember the night we were attacked by the witch Magaritha, Milan and those sell-out wolves?""Yes, what about?" The alpha asked with a low voice. Maybe, he had remembered how relinquished power that night."Can you remember one special thing which happened that night?" Eric sounded excited as he asked."There was nothing special about that night Eric. For as long as I could remember, it was the ugliest night in my life." The alpha se
"Very well then," Eric continued, "our paid allegiance to Milan on the condition that he will not kill Ammon or me. Therefore, Milan sent us into exile and never returned. The day we return, will mark our death. To make sure we will never pose any threat to his leadership, Milan had Magaritha perform the abominable ritual on Ammon. She cut herself and left her blood on Ammon while casting some spells on him. Her spell will later torment Ammon for years. His Lycan powers and ability to transform into a wolf were destroyed. No one has been to break his curse until, we met Loius and had some faith that this time, it will be broken for good.Do you know another funny thing, Derek was the one who made the request from Milan and also opted to go with us. At least, he was good but, over the years Derek changed a lot."Unhappy, when Eric mentioned Derek, Leah sought to stop him from talking about Derek as she believed his name makes him sick. "Maybe it's time we change the topic.""That's it,
I was almost caught unawares because, I was lost in thought about Jason, the only man I had ever loved. "Nothing much. I was just checking on you to see if you are okay."He maintained his stern look at me as I told him my purpose in coming to see him. "I'm good! Anything else?" It was obvious, that he does not care about my presence. His attitude at that moment made me feel like, it was a bad idea to show up here in the first place. Since I was not welcomed maybe, it's time I turn back and leave. "Alright, if you are good then, I will have to leave," I gestured with my right hand as if I was showing him the direction I will take when leaving. He remained silent until when I have walked about half a meter, he called. "Loius come back here!" His voice was more like a command. Nevertheless, I obeyed and turned back to face him."Yes, you called?" I asked him."Yes, I called you. Would you mind sitting down beside me?" He requested. For a moment, I thought about his statement, 'beside
