Ruined Ritual.

The wolves were caught unaware by my demand that they should leave me and the Alpha alone in the house if, the spell-breaking ritual must work. They both looked at each other except Ammon whom I guess, was keen to see me do my job rather than showing any interest in the demand I had made.

"Now tell me one thing why we should leave witch?" Derek began walking closer to me. His eyes were filled with rage as he inches closer. Only he knew what he had in mind at that moment. He held me by the neck, "tell me why we should leave?"

For the first time, Eric appears to come to my aid. "

“Easy on her! Slow down brother," he told Derek. “Let's us get the clear message she is trying to deliver," now turning to me, he continued, "Are you saying we are unworthy to witness the ritual procession, is that what you mean by ‘we should step outside?”

“The words never came out from my mouth but yours. The sooner you adhere to the instruction the quicker we go with the spell-breaking ritual.”

I could tell from that moment that I have touched the tail of a tiger. Derek was very mad at me. 

He began to squeeze my neck as if he was trying to strangle me. I had to scream at the slightest opportunity I had, to raise the alarm of the excruciating pain he was putting me through. “If you strangle me to death, you will regret it. Your Alpha will never be free from his curse till eternity.”

 

“I rather have you burn in hell than talk to me in disdain,” Derek roared and proceeded with a more painful grip on my neck. 

I guess the alpha had no choice but to intervene then. “Enough Derek!” Ammon shouted. His eyes flashed a yellowish light. His anger must be very high. He has had enough of Derek I guess. "Let her be! If you have her strangled to death then, all the effort we have made all these years to find her will be in vain. Tell me, is that the mistake you are going to risk after arriving at this level? I won't let you do that. This burden has been with me for many years and not on you! Do you know how it hurts to feel empty with no Lycan power to defend yourself? Do you know how I feel every second---every minute of the day? Tell me, do you?”

Derek had already let go of my hand from the very moment the alpha began pouring his rage and frustration on him. I was a bit relieved from the misunderstanding they were having. The Alpha's stand could only mean one thing; he is desperate to have his curse removed at all costs.

Eric reached out to Derek and grabbed him by his arms. “Don't worry Ammon, we will leave. We hope for the best. We have come a long way on this. It's useless if we let our attitude ruin this.” Reluctantly, Derek succumbed to his push and outside, they went. 

Now that I'm left alone standing with the alpha, how do I let him know the truth? Imagine the backlash if I open up.

Without wasting time he began, “Louis can we get this done as quickly as possible. I have many tasks ahead once you are done with this.”

“Sure, we can proceed!” I said confidently. I refrained from showing him I was scared and confused. That may be catastrophic if he finds out. “Step forward please!” 

He came closer to me. We stood facing each other. “Now what? What next to do I need to do?”

“Await for my instructions,” I told him. 

He nodded, “I will wait for your instructions if that's what it will take to end my misery.”

“Stretch out your two hands.”

 He obeyed and stretched his hands forward. “Open your palms.”

He obeyed me as well. “Lastly, close your eyes and make sure you don't open them at all costs. No matter what happens, don't open them. If you, do that will ruin our chances of getting the spell broken.”

“I give you my word, I will never open them. I must do all you have instructed.”

“Now, close your eyes, and let's break the spell on you.” With his eyes closed, I got the alpha into the position I wanted him to be.  I eased a breath of fresh air. I have bought yet another time for myself from the Werewolves who held me hostage. I reached out my hands towards his. I made our palms overlap since he was bigger than mine. I could feel his strong palms burying mine. “Remember what I told you earlier, no matter what I don't ever open your eyes!” I warned him again.

A moment of silence ensued between us, he was nearly squeezing my hands. I kept silent, wondering about the next step to take. 

“What is taking you so long or could it be you have started with the ritual?” The impatient alpha asked.

 

“Just stay calm, I'm doing all my best to help you,” my words might have suited him at the moment because he never said a word again. “Are you ready for this?”

“Yes I am,” he answered.

“Let thy hand of the one who seeks the healing of the eternal curse conjures with the free spirit of mother Earth. Your hand is mine! Our hands are yours! By the power of the mother, let thy curse be broken, so mote it be!” I said.

We waited for a sign that could show our ritual was successful. I repeat the magic words but, nothing happened. I tried for the third time but yet, but nothing happened. Meanwhile, the alpha never opened his eyes, and neither did he let go of my hands. This was the moment he has been waiting for his whole life therefore, there was no reason to blame him. 

I repeated the magic words for the 4th and the 5th time but nothing happened and neither did the alpha reacted in a way that will show his disapproval.  I was getting frustrated by his inability to compromise his stand and break the rules, so I could blame him for ruining the whole ritual.

When all had been said and done and yet no negative response from him, I decided to take it to him. I stared at his big exposed toes for some seconds and then pushed my whole body on him, in that way I stepped on his toes and he quickly opened his eyes, thus ruining the ritual.

    “Oh no! Look at what you have done now! How could you, after all the warning I gave to you?”I knew what was coming at once and I quickly acted like I was the victim to reduce any possibility of him laying his hands on me with his rage.Like magic, it seems like my trick on him worked. He refrained from raising his voice at me or doing something stupid. "I'm sorry about that Louis. Believe me, I had opened my eyes to remind you about one of the essential parts of the ritual which was missing,” said the Alpha.“There is no point in apologizing because you have ruined the ritual.” we broke the body contact we had through our hands. I watched his face change from moderate to complete sadness. “I only opened my eyes to remind you that no blood was spilled. Practically speaking your blood. It is needed for the ritual according to what Deborah had told us.“That doesn't change anything right now! You ruined it," I insisted.“If this curse of mine can't be broken tonight, then you will not

    Quickly, I closed my eyes, folded my palms, and began to cast a spell. No one can hear the words I said, only my lips moved. I cared less to listen to what the wolves were saying at that critical point in time of my life.“Thy hand who strike thee, hand fall short. Fall uncontrolled, ground shall stuck! Breath paused, air blend to water, so mote it be.” I opened my eyes immediately and behold, Derek's right hand was already raised and was set to strike me. Exactly the same time, the empty bottle of the whiskey he had drank earlier shattered into pieces with a bristling sound. His coat was pulled off him and flown across the floor, but he was unharmed in any way. Nevertheless, he carried on with his plan to stab me before the alpha finally intervened.“Stop Derek! There is nothing more to prove, she passed the test. Are you now convinced she is the one?”At once, Derek heeded the Alpha's command and stopped, with frustrations showing on his face. I knew it would have pleased him to ki

    They were boldly written on the front book, Magic-Of-The-Ancient. Now, what the hell on earth is a magic book doing in the alpha’s room? He is not a wizard and it doesn’t appear he wants to be one either. I have read so many magic books during my stay with lady Gia nevertheless, I was convinced the book I had seen arranged on the shelf may have a cutting edge over the other books I have read. The more I stared at it was the more the temptation, to hold it in my hands and read every page growing stronger. ‘Should I grab it at once and read it to satisfy my curiosity or should I just ignore it and keep thinking about my miserable life? What about the alpha? How will he react if he suddenly burst into the room unannounced only to find me going through his book?’ I don’t have the right answers to these questions but one thing is for sure, the alpha will never touch a strand of my hair as long as I’m important to him. Especially now that I have offered him a promising solution to his probl

    We gazed at each other for some quick seconds with his eyes, dominating mine. “What do you think you are doing witch?

He took it and held it in his palms. Once again, we stood facing each other. That long wicked looks never stopped intimidating me.“m sorry sir. I never mean to do anything that will upset you. I will never go close that again.’’ I lifted my face a bit to meet his but quickly looked down again. The alpha has not acted in the way I had expected him to respond.“Tell me, witch,’’ he began, “have you read any book like this before?’’“No, I have not.’’“Hmmm! That means, it must be strange to you?’’“Yes, but it was interesting.’’He raised his eyebrows, “did you find any piece of written paper in my book?’’‘Should I lie to him and pretend I saw nothing?’ I asked myself. ‘No, that will make the alpha

    The alpha gave me a nasty reply but, I was determined. When he saw that I had planned not to go back to my words he nodded in disbelief."You asking me to have an access to our kitchen Tonight and cook dinner for us? Is that what you are saying, Witch? Oh! I knew it. You have a plan to have us poisoned so you could escape. Am I right? Is that not what you are planning to do?"His words came as a surprise to me since I never had any of those things in my mind. "No, that's not correct. How can I bear such in my mind?""It's very possible! look, Witch, we have made you stay with us without your will. We had threatened to have you killed if you don't meet our needs. The option of having you killed has not been taken off the table don forget that? We are your enemies and not your friends. Now tell me why you will poison us if you are allowed to do so?"Alpha Ammon had a strong point on me. I was held by them against my own will.

  • Redeemed By The Alpha    Charmed By My Story.

    'This is my freedom at last,' I thought. My heart was delighted shortly until I remember I knew no direction to take. The forest of Dengek covered a huge swath of land that I can't measure or determine which part of it is closer to human settlement. Therefore, fleeing at this slight opportunity will be a suicide mission. What I end up being eaten by a wild beast of the night? What if I fell into the hands of very bad people. What if I end up again in the hands-on "Revolutionists" while attempting to flee from many friendly werewolves than they were? That will be catastrophic if I'm ever caught by the zealots again. This time around, they will leave no stone unturned. They may decide to rule off burning me on the stake. After learning from their mistakes, they will never waste their time in having me killed. My head could be chopped off and paraded on the streets back in the town. A disgraceful death.If I think the other way round, with regards to the Werewolves. Should they be caugh

    "Hmmm, such a strange tale. Now I have seen why it's not quite different from what has happened between you and us. However, there are also instances of some difference in your story. The boys were not witches but, you were. Therefore, you don't expect the Werewolves to treat a witch the same way they had saved and treated the little fella and his brother," said the Alpha."Why will you say that? I guess you are about to say some ugly shits about my kind," I asked him."You see witch, your kind doesn't deserve any pity. If I should act according to the pain and anger in my heart, there will be no more witches left alive by now. All those I have come across would have been a thing of the past. And that includes you, Louis!"I was speechless at his cold words, but I never let my anger show too much. I simply kept quiet and continued with the dinner I was making while, he looked on."You hate me so much, tell me, don't you Louis? Come on don't deny it""What caused this unprecedented hat

    "Don't even think about it. That will be your worst mistake," whispered the alpha into my ears, while he pressed his weight on my back. He stayed in that position for some seconds before pulling back.Puzzled by his strange warning, I inquired, "What are you talking about? Have I sinned against you?" I was scared because his look had changed from being friendly to rude."Witch, I know what you have been thinking about," he began. "I know what you were thought about when gazed at this window," he said, pointing at the window which was close to where we stood.Shocked, I turned around to face him. How did he know that was exactly what I had in my mind? Was this alpha a psychic? "How did you know what I had in mind? Did you read my mind? Well, I wasn't thinking anything related to that," I lied. My lies were necessary. I feared he will get more furious at me if I tell him the truth about my one-minute escape plan.How wrong I was, for the alpha maintained his stance about my attempt to f

Next, she held on to the handle of the mob stick. She resumed mobbing the floor."Wow! Sandra is such a beautiful name... How long have you been here?"

Don't think too much!" he tabbed Steve on the shoulder again before walking out on us just like, Eric did.The Alpha and Eric did not leave because they were heartless and insensible to the plight that their ally was in. I. believed they left because they wanted to give Steve some time to think and put himself back in order. That was how I understood it.Vera was the next in line to leave. "I think I will have to wait at the other side while you put yourself together," said Vera. She walked out too.I never took my eyes off her until she was gone and out of sight.I turned to Steve. "I think it's time you put yourself in order. Remember you are a man and not a woman!""Yeah, I know!" he nodded yes to what I said. "You know how I feel, don't you?""I do!

    Vera turned to me and said apologized. "I'm sorry for doubting you.

What the hell are you talking about? When did I do that?" I asked"I guess the letter we read had something to with her.... maybe it was that summoned her here. Moreover, we are in her castle. What do you expect from a restless soul?""I believe you," I told her. "Maybe, I should summon her again!""No, I will not support you on that...you know it's a very bad idea. Her soul needs to rest. Let her be...let her rest in peace."I abandoned the idea to summon Gia's spirit even though I couldn't stop getting enough from her. I felt like having her all day long talking to me. I know deep down that it was not possible.

    Later on the next night, I and Ammon, my Lycan mate went to the castle which was to be inhabited by Vera and her Witches. On the balcony, we sat and enjoyed some sweet discussions.Because the Alpha was a funny type, I would laugh any time he comes up with any of his funny jokes. However, he took me by surprise when he knelt on the ground, right in front of me and began to apologise. Why was he apologizing?"Louis, I'm sorry for all that has happened between us. You are the best mate any Lycan out there could get. I'm sorry for putting you through enormous pain. I shouldn't have abused you through those dark times of my life but, I did. I'm sorry, Louis, I want you to forgive me for that's all I ask from you!" he bent his head and never wanted to look at me.I lifted his face slowly to look at him but to my greatest surprise, he was shedding tears. His tears compelled me to cry. I was moved by tears since I can not stand the scene of watching people cry especially, my loved ones."I f

All I want from you is to have access to the castle and keep the memory of lady Gia alive."The king was still in doubt about Vera's honesty. He turned to look at me. "Are you sure about this, Louis? Are you sure you are making the right decision now? There is no going back on my word?""Yes, your majesty. Grant her permission to have the castle in my name." I paused for a moment and glared at Vera."You see, your majesty," I continued, "I owe my life to this woman.

Or Maybe, she was still thinking about the right answer to present to me concerning my humble request."You are not talking, Vera!... You are not saying anything... Why did you suddenly become quiet?"I asked while expecting her to reply to me immediately. She never did. Vera began walking away from me. I did not try to stop her. I let her do what was on her mind at that moment. At first, I thought she was going to walk out on me. I was wrong, she never did. Instead, she walked only a few meters and stopped.... about four meters so to say.She was still turning her back on me. I guess she was going to say something after pausing her movement abruptly."I'm sorry to disappoint you again, but I can't go with you to the banquet at the king's palace."I countered immediately.
