And Rosa...I felt lucky for her that she hadn’t been targeted by Dagon.“Why did Dagon want all magic users to join him?” I asked David.“He... He wanted to drain their magic. After draining magic users, Lina’s master took their bodies too, as fuel for flesh crafters and necromancers.”Flesh crafte
•• Arabella’s POV •••Max roared furiously as his wolf surged forward. The combination of Max and Cyrus in Max’s human form was lethal - his strength and speed doubled, and his aura was more menacing.He lunged toward the invisible force, grappling with it for a while, slowly crushing its resistance
Max stood still, looking at us intensely, waiting for a chance to free me from Dagon’s clutch, asking, “What do you want, Dagon?”His evil laugh sounded again before he said, “The whole werewolf clan will know soon.”Just then, the door of the room was being burst open, and Rosa and Jaxon appeared.
•• Arabella’s POV •••Paviar arrived at the room in no time and placed his hand on Rosa’s forehead.After examining her, he said, “She seems stable - her inner powers aren’t in conflict, and she is in no danger of losing control.”I exhaled in relief.It was great nothing bad had happened to Rosa.I
He had done something similar before when he ‘stole’ my engagement ring from my finger, hadn’t he?Paviar spread the map of the borders on the table for us to see.“This area here...” His finger tapped on a spot on the map as he continued saying, “Is the dead zone. I suspect this is where Dagon is h
•• Arabella’s POV •••We began discussing the next step to take once we had a suspicion of where Dagon’s lair was.“Did Alpha Daniel provide any other information about the dead zone other than there are barriers and rituals there?” I asked Paviar.“No.” He shook his head, and I frowned upon hearing
“I worry more about your safety, Rosa,” I told her.She would only travel with Paviar, and the dead zone was dangerous.Granted, there would be Alpha Daniels and guards, but their numbers were not significant.“Aren’t you worried about me too, Ari?” Paviar tugged my sleeve, looking like a child begg
•• Rosa’s POV •••Once inside the car, I shed my confidence. I had only shown it before so that Ari wouldn’t worry.In truth, my mood was tense and uneasy.“Dad, what’s your plan next?” I asked him who was sitting next to me leisurely with a relaxed look on his face.He was looking at a worn book an
He nodded fervently and repeated my words like a mantra, “You are right. My woman is always right; even when you are wrong, you are right.”And I couldn’t hold back my laughter anymore.“You better remember that,” I warned him.“I will,” he promised earnestly, adding, “We better finish our shower so
•• Rosa’s POV •••“Jax... What... What are you doing here?”He didn’t answer my question but began taking his clothes off while gazing at me with such a scorching gaze that it made me blush.When he was naked, he stepped in front of me and pulled away my hand and arm, pinning them above my head with
“You wanted to give me the stone? So there shouldn’t be any tests?” I asked her incredulously.She stayed silent, and I knew who the real culprit was.I stood up and glared at the only mischievous person in the room. “Dad!”“Rosa, my daughter, I wanted to show the Witch Queen of your power so far,”
•• Rosa’s POV •••Just what in the world is going on?“Rosa, are you okay?” Ari asked as she helped me to stand up.“What... How are you here?” I asked in shock. “What’s going on?”“Let’s talk once we get out of here, okay?” she asked and led me to the portal.“Wait!” I stopped moving. “Jax...”“Don
I didn’t struggle.I had chosen to be the sacrifice so Rosa could live, but I felt a pang in my heart when I saw tears running down Rosa’s beautiful face.Was this how our relationship was supposed to be?Were we really not meant to be together?“Jax!” Rosa stood up and ran toward me, only to be thr
•• Jaxon’s POV •••I drove a distance away from them, enough for them not to notice but close enough for me not to lose sight of them.It wasn’t a wonder Dagon hid the stone at his last hideout.Damn demon, I thought to myself.What a pussy for using such a trick to wipe out the whole world after hi
“Dad? Elder? Lillian?” I called out to them as I looked around my surrounding only to be replied by the echoes of my own voice.Shit, this was bad!I never thought we would be separated like this!How in the world was I going to find the crys-Suddenly, I felt a very dark aura from the crystal that
•• Rosa’s POV •••After saying goodbye to Max and Ari, the four of us got into the car with Dad, in his real appearance as the driver, the Elder wizard sitting on the front passenger seat while Lillian and I sat at the back.I glanced around secretly and couldn’t find any sign of Jaxon, which I thou
The thought of Rosa dying made my heart feel like it stopped beating as my fear for her safety intensified.“Jax, Rosa might die. We can’t let it happen. We can’t let it happen,” Rhun kept mumbling in my mind and paced around, ready to take over my body to stop Rosa from going.“I will go with her.
