Talic's POVThree days of traveling without much rest and needed food were finally taking a toll on me. I felt exhausted, and my head was badly aching.After Flora's instructions and badly drawn directions, I took it upon myself to search for that witch. Although I was in the said territory she was in, I couldn't sense her presence nor notice any wild animals near me. Something felt off, and that made me feel a little nervous.I opened the door to my car and slowly got out, taking a few steps ahead.When I stood still, I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. When I opened my eyes, I sighed softly. It was of no use; I still couldn't pick up any supernatural being's scent.I was about to turn and get back to my car when I heard light humming coming from behind the bushes, a little further away from where I was.I carefully began moving towards the bushes as the female's voice became clear.I touched the bushes and I was about to part them when she spoke."Whoever you are, go back. This isn
Edith's POVIt was getting hard to keep my temper in check, and I could feel anger and a need to brutally kill the one in front of me.Just before he could hear me hum, I knew what he was and what he meant to me.No matter what, I couldn't believe it. I was in denial. Was cursing the moon goddess and spitting on her name not enough that she had to link me to another bastard?I couldn't understand why she would do this to me after knowing how I never wanted to be linked to another male.Most supernatural beings knew about the myths, but none of them knew the whole truth about my life. All they assumed was that I was a crazy, thirsty bitch who loved black magic to the point of killing everything I held dear.None of them knew how broken and hurtful those myths were to me."Edith," the Beta called in a labored voice, and I found myself instantly calming down."I'm really sorry for touching you without your permission. But was it a little too much treating your mate in such a harsh way, d
Talic's POVI quickly stood up when she rose from her seat with a very angry expression on her face."Get out," she whispered."What? Why?" I asked in disbelief.Why was she suddenly saying that after hearing the story?"You, your leader, and those other warriors are scum of the earth. I'm so happy that your Alpha will lose his mind. If it were up to me, I would want him dead because you are all so disgusting!" She spat.I found myself moving in a split second and grabbing her by the neck in anger.I understood how messed up my human and the others were. But no one had the right to say such harsh words about my Alpha, mate or not.I frowned in shock when a force pulled my hands from her neck. I was about to push them forward when I felt weak, and my knees gave out. I fell to the ground, only to experience a sharp stabbing pain in my head that made me scream out."Stop," I pleaded while I moved my hands to my forehead."You are quite the stupid type, aren't you?" She asked when she kne
Edith's POV"I want you to hear this story before you go," I said softly."Okay," he answered and then relaxed in his seat."Do you know that I was first mated to another warrior, who I chose to be with and had children with?" I asked after a few seconds of hesitation."Yes, I know. At least I was told about it," he answered as I sighed deeply.So he knew about me being mated to another, yet he still wanted me. What exactly was his deal?"The story of how I was kicked out of the coven and how I met my mate was all true. Believe me when I say, I loved that warrior more than my very own life," I said then frowned when he glared at me."What, do you want me to lie?" I asked seriously."No," he answered huskily in a low tone."Well, I adored him so much that it didn't matter to me where we were going, as long as we were together. Our children were not only a blessing but also our happiness. For years, we were satisfied and felt complete until my mate went out on a hunt and came back wound
Talic's POVI knew I had to focus on the road, yet I found myself stealing glances at her. I couldn't believe my words were enough to convince her.Seeing how she acted and how she spoke, I was waiting for her to either reject me or kick me out of her house. Hell, I was even prepared to sleep outside for days as long as she would later change her mind and choose me."What's wrong with you?" She asked as I smiled."I was wondering if you would allow me to hold your hand," I answered softly.She glared at me and shifted her gaze to the other side."Do you realize that once I do that favor for you, I will be going back home?" She asked seriously.There they were, the negative words she had said to me before she decided to go with me.I felt so happy when she agreed to join me, more so when she said that she was looking forward to meeting my pack. But then later on, I felt like an idiot when she corrected her sentence and told me how she was only going to help me out of pity. She also tri
Edith's POVI felt nervous when the pack house came into view. Talic was busy focusing on the road, and that made me feel even worse.It had been a long time since I was in the midst of a group of werewolves. How would they welcome me? Would they fear me like my own coven did? After all, I dealt with black magic whenever I felt threatened or angered."There they are, they must have heard the car from afar or known we had crossed the border. Warriors now patrol the border since the Alpha isn't well," he said softly when a few men came out of the pack house and stood looking our way.When he parked a few meters away from them, I took in a deep breath and released it while wondering if I should take on a child's form.Talic came out and quickly went around to open the door for me. When he extended his hand, I looked at it seriously."Come on," he whispered as I frowned deeply.I was regretting coming with him, now that his pack members were looking at me."Come on, Edith, I can't wait to
Edith's POV"Are you sure you want to do this today? You only arrived a few hours ago; you need to rest more, don't you think?" Talic asked, right before we walked into the Alpha's bedroom."No, I have rested enough and taken a good shower," I answered simply."But you haven't eaten," he pointed out."I'll eat once I am done with what I'm supposed to do," I answered and then walked in with him.An elderly woman, who I could tell was an omega, stood next to a healer, quickly turned and faced us sadly."Welcome back, Beta," she greeted in a low husky tone."Thank you. Healer, how is the Alpha doing?" He asked.The healer looked at us, then shook her head."I hate to say this, Beta, but he is getting worse by each passing day," she answered seriously.I took a few steps forward and looked at the Alpha who was lying down on the left side of the bed carefully.He was sweating profusely, and his complexion was very pale. His breathing was shallow yet labored, and his body was trembling. I m
Edith's POV"Miss Omega, please step out with Talic," I ordered seriously when the healer walked in with the required items for the ritual.He looked at me seriously and then shook his head."I'm not going to repeat myself, Talic," I warned and then approached the healer."Excuse me," the elderly Omega said in a respectful tone and then walked out."Healer, hand over the white powder first," I instructed calmly with a smile.She put the huge basket she was carrying on the ground, opened it, and took out the white powder which was in a black bow and handed it over to me.I grabbed the bowl and took a few steps back."I'll start the ritual, so please leave," I whispered as I began to draw a circle on the ground by dropping the powder on the floor carefully."What are you doing?" Talic asked."Making a circle," I answered, then smiled wider when it came out perfectly.I sighed and then began making a pentagram, making sure there were no mistakes made."Healer, I asked you to step out wit
Las POV"Talk," the Luna commanded.I had a bitter taste in my mouth and a splitting headache. My body was slightly trembling, and I felt like I was choking.Never had there been a day I had felt like this, even when I was facing Alpha Ridge in his angry state. What the hell was she? Her aura was unbearable."I am not feeling well," I forced out the words."Mm, very well, you can excuse yourself," she said with a creepy smirk on her face.I could tell how much she was enjoying it. Was this payback for how my human had treated her in the past?I stood up with wobbly legs and gave a low bow before exiting the room.I was slowly beginning to feel better the further I got away from the room.When Talic told me how she was stronger than anyone he had encountered in our pack, I took it as bluffing and chose to approach her to see for myself. But after today, I wanted nothing to do with her, not even to cross her path. Whatever she was, it was bad, Alpha or not."Delta," Leah called out in f
Maila's POV"Get out!" Was what I said to the Beta after I had asked him to send a capable she-wolf that would take care of everything.I walked into the bathroom and took off my clothes, stepping into the shower with a heavy sigh.I wasn't shocked over the Beta's obedience because it wasn't Harvey present. But I was very surprised when he and Edith teamed up to carry Jace."He's still an asshole, Harvey or not," I whispered as the cold water poured on my body, making me look down on myself with a low sigh.What was so undesirable about us? I gritted my teeth and then moved my hands to my hips sadly. Even after dying, I was still fat; the only difference was that the chubby stomach was no longer there.I slowly slid my hands to my full breast then touched my lips lightly."No kiss, no touch, and unloved," I whispered as tears filled my eyes."Lonely," I mumbled while I dropped my hands with tears running down my cheeks.Because of his harsh words, we couldn't even touch ourselves in
Maila's POVI slowly walked to the open balcony, ignoring the pain I felt throughout my body, and stood there looking at the sky. My throat was painfully dry, and my body was sweaty.So, I was back to the hellhole Lillian and I hated? It really was funny.When I looked at my pale hands, I sighed softly. On my wrist, there was a diamond bracelet that I had never seen."Witch, hand me a mirror," I said huskily while I moved my hands to my ears to touch the earrings there."I have a name, Lillian. I'm called Edith," she answered."I am not Lillian," I whispered.She was still calling me by that name when she already knew I wasn't her. Lillian was quiet and trying to accept our harsh fate. She couldn't believe how we were drowned just like that because we were weak, but what troubled me was how I felt now.I felt power and strength I had never felt before back then when we were still alive.I tensed when I heard light footsteps approaching me and the disgusting scent that made me nauseous
Edith's POVI woke up feeling sore everywhere and thirsty.I blinked a few times before calming down and looking to my left side.Talic was sleeping on a comfy chair, leaning his head against the edge of the bed. The room I was in was the very room he had given me, and that made me feel relieved. The spell had worked perfectly; I was so sure about it because I was still alive.I slowly sat upright and looked at him with a smile.It must have been horrifying for him to watch me take red Otis and lose my life right after that. But how did he know that the spell was complete? Did he cry a lot for me? Just that thought made me want to comfort him.I moved my hand and brushed his hair softly as the beautiful tingles spread throughout my body.No, I had to distance myself to make it easier for the rejection. Although my heart was getting in my way, my mind was still telling me otherwise. I needed to escape before he could talk me into staying.He shifted a bit and groaned softly. When he bl
Edith's POVShe was quietly looking at me without a word.She looked miserable, and I felt uncomfortable talking to her.I cleared my throat and tried to talk to her again."I'm so sorry if I have offended you by calling you Luna. It's just that there is something that I want to talk to you about," I said softly.She averted her eyes and chose to keep her silence."Aren't you wondering why you are in such a place? An empty room without any furniture for you to sit on?" I asked seriously.When she couldn't look at me, I continued to speak."That's because this is not the reality you and I should be in. What I'm trying to say to you is that you and I aren't in the land of the living," I said, then got startled when she laughed loudly.She looked at me angrily as her eyes began to switch to a dark shade of red. My heart raced, and my throat felt dry.She was an Alpha wolf and an angry one at that. Her aura gave it all away as well.She was unfazed, unafraid, and dominant."So this is the
