She was doomed and she knew it. Helen had never had to worry about taking down her barriers but this time, there were powerful ones she alone couldn't bring down. Not even her mother, the true witch and Empress Dowager could bring them down.It was now evening time and Helen was having a hard time sleeping. While everyone else including Joanna who had been having a hard time sleeping finally got to sleep with Althea in her arms. The little girl was a ray of sunlight in her stormy and dark world.Rolling to the other side of the bed, Helen sighed for the nth time.'You know, sighing won't solve your problems right?' Hearing this familiar voice, Helen fell of the bed in shock. She was very familiar with this voice as it had given her enough fears.Once again, Aaryan had found his way into her head, able to read each and every of her emotions. This was one of the reasons why she was so scared to live in the same place as the triplets as they were her nightmare. The image of a little gi
Hissing of snakes from different angles could be heard, each of them hastily making their way towards her. Helen knelt on the floor where the sand and her blood mixed. She spread her arms and closed her eyes tightly, her fists also tightly clenched as she awaited the excruciating pain. This was what she had to pass through in order to call the meeting. This was the the rule made and it was inevitable in time of urgent matters. Helen closed her eyes and then, the First sting came. As always, it was as painful as ever but she bit her bottom lip, not daring to cry. Stings after stings and bites after bites rained on her body. Helen felt like her skin would tear apart any moment. Her body had gone weak and she could no longer hold still. She weakly laid on the floor with her eyes still closed and her fists tightly closed. After some time, it all stopped but then, the pain all on her body didn't leave. It felt like every piece of her skin had been torn apart from inside out. She felt l
Joanna's POV:I felt my skin tingle in anticipation for what was to come. I couldn't care less about where I was,No! I didn't want to. All my attention was on the man whose face I was yet to see but his touch alone was doing crazy things to me.I licked my lips as I felt his touch on my bare skin, I badly wanted to be naked as soon as possible. I I squinted my eyes for a split moment, wanting to see who it was but it seemed like a light was shone into my eyes, making me unable to see who he was. It was dark and I was only able to feel his hands on my body. I shivered in anticipation for what was to come, enjoying his touch on my skin while trying to look for something better to do.As I laid on the unknown soft material which I believed was mattress, my whole body shook in anticipation. I couldn't wait to feel him in and on me. I felt him kiss my cheek, and I let out a small gasp, nervous and excited at both times. "What do you want?" He whispered in my ear and it took all of my effo
So...it was only but a dream. The thought alone made Joanna blush in embarrassment as she laid motionlessly on the bed. At the time when everything went black, she literally raised half of her body and jolted out of bed. It was until she hit her head on the sharp edge of her bedside did she realize how the dream had affected her. How could she have such dream and that too doing it with a man she didn't know?Joanna was greatly embarrassed and she fell back on the bed, spread her arms and sighed. After taking deep breaths in, her bladder started to sing and having no choice, Joanna rose to her feet but then, she felt the familiar stickiness in between her thighs. Was that really a dream? She asked herself.She felt so uncomfortable, standing there doing nothing. Unknown to her, standing right at the entrance of her room was Althea whom she had fallen asleep with last night. The little girl's expression was complicated as she stared at Joanna.It was at this time Joanna took notes of
Making Melissa think she wielded the upper hand would only give her ideas beyond her. Helen decided to make her realize where exactly she stood. She smiled cunningly with her mouth to the side. As she faced Melissa, her expression changed to that of being hurt. Melissa who was yet to realize a thing immediately was disgusted by Helen's tears but didn't show it on her face. She even walked closer to her, immediately taking Helen in her arms, rubbing her shoulders back and forth. She frowned when Helen's tears only increased. Wasn't she the same lady who was smiling happily few minutes ago? What happened? Why had she changed in the blink of an eye. Melissa was confused but said nothing.Meanwhile as Helen hugged Melissa back, she made her claws grow out and slashed her own palm.Blood immediately slipped out of it and using this opportunity, Helen placed her other hand other to take the drops of blood. Thankfully, she was wearing a short sleeved clothes and Helen dripped tiny drops of
They had all dispersed and Alasdair was currently sitting in his office. His gaze was focused on the computer screen before him. Unknown to Helen, there was a security camera placed right on the mansion above where she stood. With an eyebrow raised, he stared at the screen, watching everything that happened between the her and Melissa in slow motion.Unknown to him, the footage had been tampered with and he was unaware of the fact that Helen had met with the triplets. "What is she hiding? Why did she lie?" Alasdair asked himself, still unable to understand why she did so. It seemed like there were some things about her which he was yet to know. The thought alone made Alasdair shake his head negatively. Why were most of the women whom he had come across always hiding something or the other from him? This also included Joanna who was yet to tell him the pack she came from. At the time when she denied not knowing her previous pack, he pretended not to have known and let her be since he
Alasdair was aware of each and every thing going on. Aside the whereabouts of the triplets, he knew about every step Helen took. Moreover, he was starting to have his doubts.If truly they were mates, Alasdair knew he ought to feel very protective of her but then, he didn't. Earlier when he saw her body covered in blood, it felt like he was only staring at a stranger or no less his pa k member. He had no bit of feeling and it wasn't because he was heartless but he felt something was deeply wrong. Even his wolf had become so withdrawn that Alasdair didn't know what was up. For some reason, he'd get anxious but then, anytime he laid his eyes on the little girl, Althea, it felt like all his sorrows had been removed and he no longer had what to be sad about.Alasdair's thought got pretty messed up. Why was he having the feeling that Joanna was his mate but then, there was this part of him telling him to look clearly. Alasdair couldn't decide. For the first time since the last incident, o
"Old man, why exactly are you here?"After Alasdair ran out of the room to drop off Althea, he came back to his office knowing the old one intentionally came to him for an important purpose.Now,they were sitting down on the couch, opposite each other and Alasdair asked fit the nth time. The old one had his eyes shut while Alasdair had no choice but to wait."I heard about the ones you've taken in this time...," the old one finally spoke and Alasdair was grateful. At first, he frowned at the old man's question but then nodded his head."Yes I did. You also brought in the little girl who was part of them," Alasdair reminded and he watched as the old one opened his mouth in realization."Oh, so she was truly the one...," The old one spoke cryptically while Alasdair frowned. He had no idea what the old one was on about but he knew it was something serious."What's wrong?""Listen here young one. Do not trust anyone easily!" The old one said, staring right into Alasdair's eyes. Alasdair
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
