Emma gritted her teeth as she examined the guy in front of her, not exactly sure of where her anger was coming from her; whether it was from the fact that the guy she had considered her good friend and a brother at one point was a foe, or the fact that with each passing day, she was discovering that each person she had known in her life had been spies in fact. She wondered if the same was true with Amelia and her family. She might not survive the blow if Amelia was to be her foe too. She thought, remembering how she had met Casper.Casper had been a class ahead of her in high school. A rich Casanova, he had been every lady's dream, well, apart from her. At that time, her female classmates had rated her abnormal for not having a crush on the very handsome dude, including her sister. Amelia has almost gone nuts for the dude, an act that had lessened her love for the senior, if there had been any.But one day, when the teachers had been called into the principal's office for an exclusive
Casper took his lips in as he heard Emma's question.What he wanted? Damn! It was her that he wanted.Why did she still manage to steal his breath away like she had a year ago? Then, he had been so whipped that he had settled to being her 'brother' when all he had wanted to do was to sit her on his lap during one of their many discussions, and kiss her senselessly. She had been the only girl he had known all through his life that had turned him down, witches included, and that had driven him crazy, so crazy that he had gone against his Queen's order.When he had attended her high school, he hadn't known of some prophecy nor had he known of her. He had played around with girls then to overcome the grief that losing his parents had caused him. Queen Zipfarah had ordered their death, and that had been why he had gone over to Leonarya's side, whilst plotting his revenge. He would never forgive the queen whom he had thought had been so shrouded with so much goodness. He had thought that s
Emma furrowed her eyebrows as she watched the tall man who possessed the deep enthralling voice approach them from the shadows. The wizards too had stopped in their movements, had turned too, Casper included, and had their attention drawn to the man, who Emma thought had the same physique and voice as her history professor.Could it be him? She wondered, getting excited that they would be having extra manpower to fight against the wizards."Why are you happy? Do you know who is approaching us?" Prescott asked, and Emma nodded, very sure that the person approaching them was Professor Perkins. Her happiness knew no bounds. She knew that the professor had mighty strengths of his own, and would be fair game for Casper and his fellow wizards. She didn't think she would be using her powers anytime soon."Are you sure of what you are saying? The aura I am perceiving from the approaching man is anything but good. It is deadly." Prescott muttered, not trusting Emma's reply. How could she be on
Julius tightened and released his fists intermittently as he stared into the eyes of Ava who returned his steady gaze with a one of hers. Beside her, Emma frowned, her eyebrows furrowing as she darted her eyes between her friend and Professor Perkins' brother.What was wrong with the two?Did they know each other from somewhere?The wizards, including Casper, were transfixed on their spots. She didn't know if it was Julius' doing, or they were confused as she was concerning the matter in front of her. She had a feeling that it was the former, and for some reason she found weird, she didn't want to interrupt the moment."How is this possible?" She heard Prescott ask, and got curious."What do you mean by 'how is this possible'?" She queried, noting that the squirrel was also staring at the duo."Vampires don't have mates. Their souls have been blankened with death. It is impossible that they feel." Prescott replied, and Emma balked, shocked to her bones.Vampire? Her professor was a v
Alpha Peter sighed, watching his son's anger rise and fall, with his mother's hold on him.Well, for once, he was grateful for the presence of the vampire. If not that, they would have lost the human again, and maybe the werewolf who was with her.Wait. He paused in this particular train of thought, wondering who the werewolf was. His whole family was here. So what werewolf? And where had the human come out from? She hadn't been located in the pack and its environs when he had discharged trackers to search for her after he had given them her clothe to heave in her smell. His son had no idea on this, except his mate."Any idea on where she had come out from? You know she had disappeared, and we had thought that Leonarya had been in possession of her." He stated, taking notice again, of the redhead who replied his statement immediately."My mother wasn't in possession of her. Rather, my grandmother. She had taken her in, before my mother would have captured her." Freya enthused."Your g
Casper was aware that a greater force, or rather a greater being had arrived; for the fact that the other had been able to fix him at one point, had made him unable to make even the tiniest of motion, was a startling indication of that point. He knew that wisdom demanded that he bow his head in shame and leave with his companions, knowing that the latter was a creature of the night, a vampire, but he was afraid of his queen. The woman was ruthless and didn't accept failures into the community. She may pardon him for his good powers, but what about the other guys with him? Some were still with families, most had girlfriends; it would be brutal to leave Emma with the vampire, without even trying. But how had she come to know the vampires? Did she even know who they were? If she did, she had changed, his Emma had changed. He thought, remembering that the queen had mentioned a wolf boy that she was now mated with. Was the guy more handsome than he was? Was he more funny? Mate bonds were
"What is Emma doing in your head?" Julian heard Aiden ask, and couldn't provide a reply. What could he say? He had no idea how that happened. The only people that had access to his thoughts were his twin brother. The others of his kind were allowed by his permission. He has never been evaded."I think her powers are growing." He said rather, checking out the longness of her hair and the stark greenness of her eyes which reminded him of the thick forest.She looked like Sheila, and although he didn't want to think in a particular way, the thought was beginning to come to shape, and he didn't know if it was a good news or a bad one. He had to speak with a particular someone. But first, the party.His twin was silent.Julian knew he was ruminating on the matter."I'm sorry about that. I was just curious. Can you lead the way?" He asked telepathically, waiting in anticipation to see if she could also communicate too, not just dropping her thoughts alone."The person that knows the way is
"We should go back to the party, since we already know that Emma is safe. It is not ethical to leave our guests marooned." Alpha Peter said, after some time. They had taken sitting positions for a while, waiting for the arrival of the human and her companions, but to no avail. This must have unsettled the guests, especially the Alphas-reason why his beta had just communicated with him that the guests were getting uncomfortable with the absence of the host and celebrant."That's right. Let's head to the hall." Melvina stated, seeing reasons with her mate. The guests had been left without their presence for so long, and the beta couldn't keep them engaged with drinks for so long.She stood up from the sofa, inviting the others to do the same with a sharp sweep of her eyes around the room where one or two had sat waiting for the redhead. Her eyes finally ended her tour, resting on her son. She knew he didn't want to go, with the sluggishness and reluctance evident in his rising from the
