Joanna pursed her lips for some time and made a decision at that moment. "If we're destined to cross paths again in the future, we'd definitely cross paths. Thank you for your sacrifice this night. I hope to see you little woman," Smiling brightly at her, Joanna spoke up before nodding slightly at her and made her way into Elias' vehicle admist the reign. At that moment, if only she had noticed the intense glint in the petite lady's eyes, she'd have realized something was wrong.As the vehicle zoomed off, Elias' eyes were treigned on the petite lady, not for once taking his eyes off her. He had seen the glint in her eyes and he'd be a fool not to tell what was going on. Indeed, things were starting to get more complicated than he thought. The petite lady was no longer in sight and it was at that moment Elias took his attention off her and turned to face the woman beside him who'd have drowned in the rain without 'his' intervention."Thank you Mr. Elias," Joanna said awkwardly, star
Staring at her as she breathed shallowly, the thought of leaving her on the road crossed Elias' mind but then remembering Joanna was in his vehicle made him start thinking twice which Elias had never done before. He was used to making decisions after thinking deeply and following them in a go but this time, as soon as he laid his eyes on the petite lady, without thinking at all, all he wanted to do was to throw her out away or leave her be.He turned to look through the window, squinting his eyes.It was impossible for one to see throughout the window, that was what Joanna believed and concluded Elias couldn't see her. Unknown to her, the young billionaire was seeing her clearly like she was standing right in front of him. Alan also realized this and once again, the side of his mouth twitched.Joanna lightly began humming as she waited for Elias to do whatever he was doing. Joanna was solemnly humming when she heard a terrified scream, making her eyes fly open as she jolted in shock
Standing not far from the vehicle was a lady who had her palm covering her mouth with her eyes widened in blatant shock. She looked terrified like she had just laid her eyes on the forbidden. Just when she thought it was only but a momentary shock, she heard another screaming, making her shift her gaze towards a middle aged woman whose expression was no different from that of the lady. Joanna's frowned. It could be a coincidence if only the lady had screamed but then, the lady screamed also, making Joanna confused at the moment. She was about preparing to get down and once again, she heard a small sound that sounded like something hitting the floor. ****NoteReaders, do leave a comment for me to know your thoughts about the characters. It'd help rather than being a ghost reader.
Hurriedly turning, she watched as the middle aged woman fell slowly to the floor with her mouth opened. Indeed, the poor woman had fainted with her mouth open, showing how shocked she was. This further piqued Joanna's curiosity and with her heart in her mouth, she pushed open the door with Alan in her arms who had thankfully fallen asleep. Slowly, she walked and as soon as her eyes zoned in on the figure laid on the floor, her eyes widened in horror. At that moment, the events of few minutes ago came back rushing into her head. The rain continued falling happily, oblivious to the tense atmosphere.
At that moment, the events of few minutes ago came back rushing into her head.Wasn't this the same cheerful petite lady that had helped her minutes ago? Joanna was very preoccupied with other thoughts rather than wondering how she got to this point faster than a vehicle in the first place.Elias who was standing before his vehicle and staring at the body oozing out blood held no emotion In his eyes. He looked very unbothered by this sight and it was only a matter of time before the young billionaire left the scene.He turned to Joanna and seeing her standing under the heavy rain with her child, with tears falling down her face, part of his heart was touched and the only thing he felt like doing at that moment was to hold her close to him. He had always known women to be soft hearted but as he stared at the unconscious figure still before him, Elias was very irritated. At a glance, he could tell that the aura this petite lady gave off was no good and he intended calling the ambulance
Hours passed and Elias couldn't be more pissed than he was as he stilly sat in the waiting room. Alan had fallen back to sleep and the only anxious one was Joanna who was pacing about, making Elias dizzy. If only because he didn't want to scare her, Elias was very much aware of what he could do. Not that he was cruel but who was he to care about a lady who faked her accident just for ulterior motives and to gain sympathy?He couldn't forget the look in the lady's eyes as she laid on the road, covered in blood.
It was a look that one who was unconscious wasn't supposed to have. If Elias didn't have a strong mind, at that point, he'd have long spat his guts out due to intense irritation. Two long hours later that felt like days, the door to the waiting room was finally pushed open and a nurse covered in sweat who had also assisted in the surgery walked tiredly towards them.This immediately stopped Joanna from pacing about and as fast as possible, she made her way towards the nurse, almost colliding with the poor nurse who was dead tired."How is she?" Joanna asked in one breath while the nurse sighed. "She's unconscious for now and okay. Aside the slight head pains she'd feel when she becomes conscious, everything else is alright with her," The nurse explained and Joanna took a deep breath of relief."Where is the patient's family? How are you related to the patient?" Like she had just realized something, the nurse asked, staring at Joanna.Joanna was tongue tied at that moment. How was sh
The nurse then raised her head and as soon as her eyes made contact with Elias', her jaw went slack as she gasped in shock.Elias said nothing and allowed the poor nurse to keep daydreaming. This wasn't the first time he was getting a look like hers.He had gotten more lewd ones and each seemed to annoyed him more than the former ones.Finally, the nurse snapped out of her daze and when she noticed the cold look in Elias' eyes, her words got stuck in her throat. She couldn't say a word and could only close and open her mouth like a fish.
Rising, Joanna realized she was still in the same position she was in before the dizziness took over. She didn't need to be told that was happening to her was no ordinary thing."Mother this isn't normal....," Joanna whispered to her mother while the latter nodded her head in understanding. " I know sweetheart and I believe the only person with such immense power, able to do this to you is none other than Celine, she who you've been in contact with" Stella explained to Joanna who now had an incredulous look on her face."Waaaa....," Alan's loud cry of pain was enough to snap Joanna out of her thoughts. Balling her fists by her side, she slowly removed herself away from. the group, moving slowly towards the witches."What did you do to me and my son?" She hissed, glaring straight at Celine. "Hm, you know what annoys me the most about you? You act like the superior one, walking like everyone is below you. I hate you," Celine seemed to have lost control as she raised a knife in the air,
"Who's next?" Swinging his sword on his shoulder, Elias smiled. Immediately, the young witches stepped backwards in fear, too scared to put to practice the spell they had been taught. "Cowards!" Helen's mother yelled as she came to stand in front of them. "Give up Joanna and we would let her baby go!" She yelled loudly,staring at Elias straight in the eye. Her thoughts were unknown but just as they all thought, Alan was being used as a bargaining chip."How do you expect us to give her up when her son is nowhere in sight?" Mark hissed, glaring at the witches who looked like a colony of ants. Unhappy with what was said by Mark, Helen's mother glared at him but the young Beta didn't flinch. He couldn't be bothered with the nuisance of a witch and was more bothered about Joanna and his mate. He couldn't see Helen too which further made him on edge but he couldn't show it for fear of alerting the enemies. Slowly, Celine walked out from behind the forest, standing right behind the c
This left Aric with one choice which was to kill every witch he came across as fast as he could.Soon enough, he went unto action.Elias and Stella both noticed Altair who was planning on killing another guard and immediately went to stop him. They both directed the guards to kill the other witches while they fought with Altair who seemed displeased by their actions."Why is no one taking my side?" Altair screamed blindly as he fought with them . He was seconds away from changing to his wolf form and they could see it. "... because you're doing the wrong thing. No one is going to take your side," Stella yelled as she dodged his incoming blow.Her words seemed to further anger Altair as he charged towards her once more, leaving Elias out of it. Midway,he changed into his wolf form while Stella transformed to the creature that once haunted Joanna. Everyone on the battlefield could see Stella change and the moment she did, the witches who were starting to have the upper hand all star
Before the coven of witches arrived, the Red moon pack members all arrived safely, with none of the members missing. They were all ushered into Alasdair's home which already contained the Blue moon pack members. "Joanna, you need to stay in. I promise, we would rescue your son and bring him back to you," Sebastian spoke, finally braving up to speak to her."No, stay out of my way. This is my fight," Joanna hissed while he immediately retreated."No, this is our fight!" Mark yelled as he threw his fist into the air."Fine, just be safe," Sebastian gave up stopping her while Joanna ignored his words.Mark was carried outside, behind the flowers where his body was hidden.This was a big risk they had all taken to ensure he'd get back to normal as soon as they spotted Helen, the one who put him in this condition.Althea who had also been locked in Alasdair's house during the previous battle was allowed to join the fight. No one dared to stop her since they all knew her main aim. Alasda
Upon waking up, Joanna realized she had fallen asleep right in the living room just as Elias had spoken."What was that? Please don't tell me you fell asleep while he was talking?" Aric groaned, trying to restrain his laughter but it was fruitless."Hm, de.. definitely not. I just had something to think of. For how long was I out?" Joanna awkwardly questioned, hoping to change the topic as soon as possible. "Sure, no one here is a fool. We were all able to tell you fell asleep for what...? Slept for a total of 15 minutes. I mean, who does that?" Aric continued to sass when Joanna had to keep her mouth shut despite ber shock. She couldn't help but wonder how she was able to have that type of dream in this situation making her seem like she was deranged and had no conscience.If anyone amongst them knew of the dream she just had, Joanna was sure she was going to be eaten by them.She peeked a glance at her mother, hoping to catch the slightest bit of reaction from her to see if she ha
Joanna's POV;I didn't need to be told that I was yet again dreaming in the midst of war. Moreover, why do my dreams always have to be wet dreams I knew would never be fulfilled. Was Sebastian sweet? Definitely not. Was Elias sweet? I really didn't know.Was Alasdair sweet? Yes, but then, why was it that my dream wasn't about him? Everytime I closed my eyes to sleep, I was always ending up in Dreamland. Have I been cursed? I didn't know but then, I recalled something and I hoped at this point, whatever it was that was going to happen in my dreams, my mother shouldn't be watching. Now that she had made herself known beside me, she didn't need to keep watching me in my dreams.After several failed attempts of trying to wake myself and leave Dreamland, I gave up on this idea and rather focused on the situation at hand. How did I even fall asleep in the first place? I couldn't understand this as my thoughts were all jammed up. A touch on my bare shoulder was enough to send me to an ent
At this, Joanna didn't know if she really knew him or he had been pretending. Either ways, now she was starting to doubt her judgment on people."Don't be surprised. He has always been like this," Stella hit Joanna's arm lightly and smiled at her."How did you....Hold up, did you know him before now?" Joanna questioned tentatively."Silly girl, how did you think he was able to accept you unto his home without any hassle? Although he is kind but Elias never trusts anyone to that extent," Stella laughed while Joanna seemed more shocked." Are you trying to tell me that you asked him to take me in?" "Of course," Stella laughed, pulling Joanna to sit."Since when did that happen?" "Unfortunately, your mother wouldn't have the time to narrate the story to you because they are near.." Elias interrupted as he took out his shiny two swords and stared at them.
**18+, killing scene, read at your risk"Things happened after your disappearance," Althea spoke and smiled at Joanna but the latter could see the worry in the little girl's eyes.Joanna didn't need to know what was making her worried and once again, she was overwhelmed with fear; the fear of where her child was."Don't worry, your son will is fine," Her mother coaxed, rubbing her arms lightly.Upon hearing the confidence in her voice, Joanna was surprised as to why."How are you so sure he's fine?" She couldn't help but ask."I'm sure because they can't do anything to hurt him. Don't you know your son has more powers than you? Thereby, making him stronger," Stella laughed while Joanna couldn't help but gulp her saliva.She had already had an inkling as to the fact that Alan had the same powers as her but she didn't realize he had more of it than she did."Aside that, he's just a little boy. What self defense does he know?" Aric asked as he stared at Althea from the corner of his eyes.
"He was taken away by a disguised witch that came for revenge.""What! A disguised witch? What is going on? What do you mean?" Alasdair asked in a hurry as he ran his fingers through his hair. It was at this moment Joanna was a le to see the fatigue in his eyes and now, she felt like she had come back to square one, like the powerless little girl she once was. "Before we continue this conversation,we need to get him inside. It's a long story...," Elias spoke, pointing at Micah who had stopped moving and his eyes were tightly shut. Immediately, they all made their way into Alasdair's house, as they shut the door tightly.Altair was smart enough to protect the house with a spell that didn't allow outsiders to hear what was going on. Indeed, the blue moon pack where everyone treated each other like families had become a pack where they all had to be careful of whom to trust."Now, can someone tell me what the hell is going on here? I'm really so confused," Mark cursed out, slapping hi
