SIXTY-FIVE"My grandfather was a stupid bastard if you ask me, he was hungry for power and I guess it worked out. Look at where Blazepelt is now, one of the most feared packs in our world. If Alpha Xavier remained Alpha then Blazepelt would have just been a memory." Melanie's face was void of any expressions as she continued explaining."Alpha Xavier tried to run the pack with what he considered as the right way, he did not want to be part of the wars that occurred between packs and wanted justice, fairness blah blah blah...it obviously did not end well because other packs started attacking and Blazepelt was lacking manpower. Most of the pack's territory and borders were invaded and Blazepelt was on its knees but Xavier still wanted peace, pathetic right?" Melanie flicked her ponytail and sighed. She was so good at narrating this story, obviously, she would be good at it after all this was not the first time. She narrated it as though she had been there when her grandfather went to w
SIXTY-SIXAnabelle had no idea where she wanted to go after everything she had got to know, she certainly did not want to see Jaxon yet. She drove for a while without proper navigation and stopped when she realised that she was on the way back home. She shook her head and turned the car in the opposite direction, she drove to the person who always gave her refuge when she needed it...the person who was more than a friend to her. She drove to the one person who knew her more than herself. Her mind was still hazy when she pulled up by Milo's ice cream parlour, the colourful setting of the place making her head spin even more. She got out of the car and went into the building, nodding at the people that greeted and bowed to her.Macy was behind the counter like always with a fake smile, she bowed though when she saw Anabelle and gave her a small smile it seemed real that Anabelle had to close her eyes and open them once again. The smile was still on Macy's face, and Anabelle smiled back
SIXTY-SEVENMy mind was once again filled with a million questions as I stared into the big and electric eyes of my supposed creator. Long dark hair complemented the pale and fair skin that most girls would yearn for, the woman's beauty was breathtaking and I could not agree more. Despite everything, I had come to learn about the woman I still envied her beauty, to ethereal. Were all sorceresses' this beautiful? I looked around and noticed that the surrounding was not the serene forest that I had become accustomed to, the sky was still dark with stars but it seemed as if the stars were surrounding us and moving around. Everything around me was dark except for the light that illuminated the stars and the woman that stood in front of me. The light that her body emitted was unnatural, I could only guess that it was some spell that she had cast on herself to intensify her beauty and boy was it working. I looked at my feet and realised that I was not stepping on anything solid which cause
SIXTY-EIGHT"Anabelle," Jaxon called out when he noticed that his mate was shaking in her sleep and tears were rolling down her cheeks. After what she had told him, he was certain that she was interacting with the sorceress again. His worry grew by the second when he realised that she was not giving off any signs of waking up, he was worried that she would go into an unconscious state again or worse the sorceress could harm her from within and he would remain here not knowing what to do...watch as he lost his mate. He growled lowly when he thought about harm coming to Anabelle, he could not watch as something from his family's past ruined his life...his woman.He wiped the wetness that graced her cheeks and carried her in his arms off the couch where they had drifted off to sleep. He headed toward the door and left the house and was quick to put her in the passenger's seat, reclining it until the end...he wanted to make sure that he could still see her. He climbed into the driver's s
SIXTY-NINE"It is so time-wasting how I have to do this in order to have you by my side," Anabelle looked at him with confusion clear on her face but soon she realised what the man meant. Images of everything that happened in her life formed in front of her eyes. Mr and Mrs Maxwell were there, calling at her as she rode her bike away from them...they were also there when they looked at her with fond smiles on her graduation day. Their faces when they were losing their lives and the eyes of her mate looking straight at her the moment when she stood in between her father and Jaxon's wolf to defend her family. She saw it all in a flash, how her mate scratched her neck and attacked her family."See that Anabelle, of all bonds the moon goddess has ever paired yours, was disastrous on the meeting." Amaris' voice intruded on her thoughts. Before Anabelle could respond the images of her body in the shoe box cell, in the worst state she had ever seen herself. Hair mated to the body, splotche
SEVENTYThe surroundings were beginning to brighten up as morning was slowly rising but Cora was still in a car with Micah in the driver's seat following behind the trackers. The ride was longer than they expected and they were far gone from their pack's boundaries. Cora kept on sighing and telling Micah to drive faster but that did not make a difference because their speed depended on the trackers. Taylor and Danielle were in the back, silent as ever. "Why would they need to come so far?" Cora muttered under her breath. They were driving into a small town and the trackers were still moving ahead of the two cars until they stopped in front of a building. Cora immediately recognised the two cars that were parked in front of the building, Jaxon's car and Alec's car. She got out of the car before Micah could even stop the car, she ran to the entrance of the building and knocked on the glass nonstop. She opened the door and invited herself inside when no one came to open the door. Soon
SEVENTY-ONE"What have you done to my mate?" Jaxon asked as he got up balancing his body by holding on to the wall. "She is no longer your mate but my daughter and I have promised her to hurt you as you did her," Amaris replied, a smirk forming on Anabelle's face.Anabelle's lips were the ones that were moving but the voice was not hers, the smooth and cold voice was one that Jaxon was unable to remember. He had never heard this voice but he was aware that this was the voice of his tormentor, his worst nightmare...the person that had cursed his family. He looked into the steely eyes that had clouded over Anabelle's warm green ones. He could not even sense Anabelle anymore, a dominant aura was covering the entire room like a plague. Mr Cray and his sister were already on the floor with their heads bowed, submitting to the stronger power in the room. Even Jaxon could feel the power but he was never one to submit easily and he had to fight in order to save his love."Stop controlling he
SEVENTY-TWO"Alpha!" Someone yelled out and opened the door to Jaxon's office abruptly. Danielle was breathless when she fell into the room and looked at the people in the room. The room was filled with the most influential and powerful warriors with the beta and Alpha. The room was definitely not a good place for an omega because immediately when she burst into the room she felt like falling to the floor on her knees and submitting. Danielle really hated the submissive nature of omegas, their stature in the pack hierarchy made them naturally submissive to anyone higher. She knew that stumbling into the Alpha's important meeting without knocking was a sign of disrespect and Jaxon could punish her in any way he pleased but she thought it important that he be notified of what was going on."What is this, Danielle?" Jaxon tilted his head and glared at her. He was more than exasperated because of what had happened and he did not want his time to be wasted."Ou-outside...the-the sky," Dan
