Ferix stared at Aurora with shocked eyes, then to Stephanie who was sitting with a confused expression on her face. He didn’t understand why she was treating Stephanie like this, if it had been him, he wouldn’t have had a hard time wrapping her head around this.‘Was her twin soul acting up?’ He couldn’t help but wonder in his head.“Wh…What are you doing?” Stephanie asked, staring at Aurora with an upset expression which made the latter scoff.“At this point, you are still denying it?”“I have no idea what you are talking about!” Stephanie exclaimed. “I know that you don’t like me for some sort of reason but aren’t you supposed to have something concrete if you want to take your anger out on me?!”“Something concrete? I am sure that what I have is more than concrete. You know too damn well what I am talking about.” Aurora moved closer to her and grabbed her jaws, tightening her hold and making Stephanie groan, Ferix just sat to the side and not bothering to say anything—it would be j
“I knew that you would be shameless about it but I didn’t expect that you would show it as deep it runs in your veins,” Aurora scoffed. “It must feel good to finally step out of the suffocating mask that you have been keeping yourself under for the past years.”“There’s no need keeping the pretense after everything is already out,” Stephanie replied, her voice had switched to the gentle voice that she had always addressed people with before and Aurora almost wanted to kick her face for it.“You have been with Maverick for the past eight years or so, I am sure that you are part of the people that helped them form the way to prevent Aurora’s twin soul from taking over her body, if your aim was Aurora all along, why the hell did you not just take her that time?” Ferix mused loudly, staring at Stephanie who had gone to rest her body against the wall, her arms folded across her chest.“It was because the time wasn’t right, it wouldn’t be of any advantage to me if you ended up staying at th
Ferix cleared his throat before he straightened his shoulder, all his attention on the two women leading them as if he was deeply invested in where they were going.At that moment, he really looked like he wasn’t going to say anything but then he opened his mouth and started talking.“There was someone who was threatening and blackmailing both me and Carly, both of us were under him.He would send us on different missions and have us do some things for him.”Ferix had moved to stare down at his hand, before looking around sheepishly, still not meeting Aurora’s gaze.“What he had over us was strong enough to keep us obedient over the years but we got tired of it and demanded for freedom, seeing that we have been working for a lot of years.He agreed to release us but we had to do one last job.”“Stalking me?” Aurora raised a brow at him.“Keeping tabs and getting information from and about you.” He corrected me.“That’s practically the same thing.”“It was supposed to be a simple task,
“Where is Maverick?” Aurora asked, staring straight at Mitch, there was no need to spend a lot of time wondering why she had never suspected him or how she had looked right past where there clues littered around. It was no use crying over spilt milk, the only thing she could do at that moment was make sure that Maverick was alright.Easton, Alec and the rest would be okay, because she already had the solution to bring them out of the clutches of those controlling their mind, she just wanted to make sure that she had as many puppets as possible around when she released it into the air.If she wasn’t able to do that, she would just save these few and find another chance for the others.“Why are you asking me?” Mitch asked, the usual warmth that was always present in his tone was still there and he was still talking politely like he always did, as if the situation hadn’t changed at all. Aurora almost couldn’t stand it but she wasn’t in the right situation to show him how much she hated i
The abyssal portal at first glance might seem like a normal portal that could take people from one place to another just like every other one that had been seen.But it was different.Once anyone entered the abyssal portal, there was no coming back for that person, they would be gone and gone forever.Aurora remained rooted to the spot she was, beside Maverick who was still unconscious, she waited to see what they were trying to do.The Mistress left where she was and Mani took over and right before their eyes, she started directing the puppets inside the portal, the mindless creatures didn’t even have any expression on their face as they continued to fall into their doom, which embraced them one after the other.“You should absolutely stop this fucking madness! Did you fuckers forgot that these people are living and have their families somewhere?If you are so sure about your abilities, why don’t you remove the control you have over their mind and see if they would willingly jump int
It took some minutes before she got a semblance of control over her actions, Ferix and the rest of them were still on their knees, facing the direction of the hall.Aurora hurried to move away from them even though it proved to be great difficulty to try something else when she was supposed to obey the command.She wasn’t about to let this chance go, this was the opportunity she wanted to make sure that she had, it was the best time to use the antidote to the dark magic control that the witches had someone under.If she could release it and cast a spell to make it litter the air, no matter where the controlled people were, they would break free of their curse, some slower than others but surely.The controlled puppets have their mind and attention over to another being powerful than the one that is controlling them and this higher being didn’t require them to have their guards up.Of course, she could still use spells and magic. The witches must have been so stupid to think that she c
Maverick had just finished dealing with some of the wizards who had dared to approach him even in their weak state and seemed to be looking for someone, he paused when their eyes met and it seemed that he focused all of their attention on her because he didn’t notice Stephanie who just appeared behind him.It happened too fast before Aurora could yell, but just as Stephanie appeared behind Maverick, an abyssal portal was summoned right in front of him, if he took another step, he was going to fall inside the portal, Stephanie who was standing behind him gathered all of her energy to her hand and pushed him ahead forcefully, the force was so strong that he couldn’t even gain any control of his body, Aurora tried to form a barrier around him but she was a bit late because he was already halfway in.“MAVERICK!”Two different voices echoed the same words and while Aurora teleported herself to the edge and tried to hold Maverick before she was held back by Stephanie, Phoebe dived straight
“You are all dead!” Aurora exclaimed as she glared at them all, the intensity of the death aura emanating from her body pushed them back some feet away from them.The Mistress locked eyes with her and felt a chill travel down her spine—and not in the good way.She had expected every other outcome and was seventy percent sure that whatever came from killing Maverick would definitely favor her, but not in a thousand years would she expect that he would have such an effect on her that would force both souls to unite.It could only mean that at this very moment, their thoughts are in tune and they have the same feeling, even if they wanted to talk, they would say the same thing word for word, without mincing anything—that was the only situation that warranted this harmony.She was emphasizing that she would kill them which could only mean that she really meant it, even if she didn’t want to believe it or convince herself otherwise, the continuous fallen witches and wizards that dropped de
The hall was filled to the brim with grinning pack members who awaited the day’s event. It seemed to them that the satisfaction they have always wanted was making their ways to them.It was the Luna Coronation Ceremony.Aurora was finally going to be officially recognized as the Luna of the Moonlight Pack, while this made a lot of pack members happy, it also made them very busy, it wasn't like they could have their Luna-to-be preparing everything or anything.Sadie was the one that took charge of the event with Sally, both of them ordering workers around, trying to get things rounded up.Out of everyone who was going about, Sally could be said to be the happiest. After resigning to date about the death of their son, both the former Alpha and Sally had alienated themselves from the pack when they heard the demise of Maverick.According to them, seeing the pack reminded them of the wound that would never scar. It was right there and then that Aurora earned the respect of the former Alpha
“I am so sorry that she escaped, Aurora.” Mani apologized and Aurora just waved her off.“I told you that it is alright.” Aurora replied. “Besides, you were doing something else when she escaped, we would have been able to find her later but delay might have been very bad in the spell breaking. I really appreciate your help, Mani. Thank you so much.”Mani smiled back at Aurora and nodded. It was nice to see Aurora’s face having another emotion other than the blankness that she had mastered over the years, it was amazing yet shocking how a person could have an effect over another person.Aurora’s eyes have become brighter and she seemed to have found more meaning to life, she clung to Maverick who was sitting beside him and the smile had never left her eyes, it was truly a gratifying thing to watch.“We helped in that matter together,” Daphne said from where she stood. She had spent the night at their house while insisting that the rest of the witch council would be after her head afte
“Were you able to find Maverick?” Easton asked as soon as she was in front of the house, he was talking with Alec about Pack matters and since Ferix was helping him too, it seemed to be urgent.“HI Aurora,” Ferix greeted and she nodded.“We were able to find him and he knows who Phoebe is but he also didn’t want to have anything to do with me.”“Talk about some big misfortune, it is making me want to wring Phoebe’s head.” Ferix snorted.“Me too.” Easton added.“That makes three of us, but I have something to do now,” Aurora said and entered the house.“Isn’t Daphne here?” Aurora stared around the whole place and turned to Regina when she found no sight of the woman she was looking for.“I thought she followed you? Didn’t you go to look for Phoebe and Alpha together?” Regina asked and Aurora sighed. “She told me that you already picked the location or something around that line.”“I had no idea that she followed me but I doubt that she hadn’t run away,” Aurora murmured to herself befor
Maverick stared at Phoebe who had shifted back to human form in devastation and betrayal, he couldn’t even manage anger with the reeling that was going on in his head, though, there was no way to prove it everything that Aurora was saying was true about him was something that clashed and overturned everything that he had always believed in.He was supposed to be an hunter but here he discovered that he belonged to the species that he had been ordering and the woman who he had always thought was his best friend lied about everything to him and was his enemy, a woman who was very desperate and would do anything and everything to keep him by her side.“It is a lie Maverick! You are not a werewolf! Aren’t you supposed to feel your wolf if you were one since all these days? She is your ex, she betrayed you before and would do anything to separate us again,” Phoebe insisted.“Why should I lie about something like that if I have gone to someone that I liked? I wouldn’t be back here looking f
Phoebe stared at Maverick who was walking with slumped shoulder while also carrying Robb on his shoulder, she had suggested that they leave the place as soon as possible but he had refused and told her that Robb had always told him that if he ever died one day, he wanted to be buried at the back of his little place.Damn man was jeopardizing her plan even when he was dead after pushing Maverick to pursue Aurora when he was alive.“Maverick.” She called but he only continued walking ahead.“I don’t want to talk to anyone right now,” Maverick replied and she frowned in anger.It was bad enough that they had to make a stop at their place but now he was even ignoring her, it was draining the energy that would have made her excited that she drove a wedge between him and Aurora. The bitch didn’t even show up and she was sure that Mani would have told him about everything that happened.She stared ahead and a smirk appeared on her lips. Sure, the plan wasn’t working the way she was working b
Maverick searched around the forest with a bit of panic striking his nerve, there was something bad about the nerves that kept crawling up his nerve, it was like danger was just lurking around the corner. It didn’t help matters that neither Cara nor Robb were around, he hadn’t seen Robb since he said that he had to get something from the woods and he had absolutely no idea what was going on.“Maverick!” He heard Cara’s voice in the distance and immediately turned to the direction. “Maverick!”He could see her running towards him and he hurried over to her and that was when he noticed the panic that was on her face.“Cara, what is wrong?” He asked and she tried to regulate her breathing.She huffed for a bit before she started talking breathlessly. “Maverick! Robb is dead!”“What?!” He asked with widened eyes. He moved closer to her and smelled her body before his eyes almost narrowed into slits.“Fucking werewolves!” He growled. “Lead the way!”Cara nodded and the two of them broke in
Daphne hastened her step as soon as she was in a darker part of the alley, she had been having the feeling that someone had been following her as soon as she left the pub and her instinct continued to tell her not to stay and find out who the person was because it was dangerous.She ran and took another corner but she was stopped by something and before she could react, she was punched in the stomach and sent sprawling on the floor.She hated combat the most, she preferred when she wielded her magic so she tried to gather some energy from around her but she found out that she couldn’t do anything of the sort.“Escaping now, aren’t you?” She heard in front of her and saw Mani standing there with her hands folded across her chest.“What the hell do you think that you are doing?” Daphne scoffed. “Do you think that you are something simply because you crossed over to that bitch’s side? I could end her if I wanted.”“Well, you can tell her better than when we meet her,” Mani said plainly a
“What could have made you come to see me tonight?” Daphne asked with a smirk as soon as Phoebe sat down in front of her, they were at the town pub where they usually meet up, it was late at night and both of them were wearing something that covered their face in order not to be recognized.“What else other than the fact that Maverick is almost driving me crazy?” She groaned in annoyance and Daphne raised a brow at her.“Oh? He can make you angry? I thought that you were having the best time of your life?” Daphne asked and Phoebe glared at her but it couldn't be said for a fact whether she saw it because both of them were deep at the darkest corner, the flicker of dim red light reaching them once in a while.“I was, until Aurora appeared out of the blue and now they met and he wouldn’t keep his mouth shut about her for the briefest minute.”“I told you that separating two mated people isn’t going to be easy,” Daphne shrugged and Phoebe glared at her once again.“She was supposed to be
“You would believe who we saw today,” Ferix said and Aurora raised a brow at her.“Who?”“It was Phoebe and Daphne, caught red-handed with her memory because she was talking about you,” Regina replied.“She saw both of you?” Aurora asked Easton and Ferix who nodded.“Yeah. I took Regina along because why not? She wasn’t able to keep her cool when she saw all of us and it was visible in her face that she recognized all of us, she even said my name,” Easton replied. “We were just going to scout out the place of the council but we couldn’t find and decided to come home but we met yours truly on the way and she kept ranting about you being back to take her man.”“Is that bitch high on a big dose of delusions?” Sadie asked with disgust. She remembered the time she had treated and had mistakenly thought she was normal like everyone else, who knew that she was just bat shit crazy. “How is he her man when he is clearly Aurora’s mate?”“Then the big picture is getting clearer. Daphne is one of
