CHAPTER 164 SYBIL'S STORYFENIRS 'S P.O.V It's been a month since we buried my mother and some of the fallen warriors who assisted. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how wrong it all went. We managed to find the safe my mother stored away tightly and securely. It took a while to get into the damn thing too. But now the sword was safely stored away until we needed it. The gem, however, nobody knew where it was. Lucy insisted that it was in the kingdom, nearby. But we searched high and low for the damn thing and there was no sign of it. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing though. The positive side to it was that if we couldn't find it with Lucy's sight, then maybe neither could Alex. If that were the case, then she wouldn't know where to find it, so we had time to dig into research on her origin. We were meeting up with a witch who could give us information about the originating witch, or maybe a descendant of said witch. We just have to hope that once they'
CHAPTER 165 DESCENDANTTeddy's P.O.V The story was heartbreaking. She lived for revenge on a man who broke her heart. Why didn't she just move on? "Would you have moved on if you were her?" She asked questionably. "I wouldn't have cursed them just to curse myself in order to kill them." "She didn't plan on cursing herself. I doubt she would've used herself if she knew that it would leave her how it did." "That was her punishment for disrupting the balance of nature." "Maybe. Her idea was purely to have the love of her life live miserably. Instead, she set them sort of free while it was she who lived miserably." "Karma for trying to play the goddess," Fenirs said with a shrug. "And how do you think your goddess was made?" "What?" "Think about it. A witch cast a curse, creating the first werewolf, who was also the first of her kind to die." "Are you saying that the moon goddess is the lover of Sybil's man?" "I'm saying that there is a reason you exist. You exist solely base
CHAPTER 166 EMPATHTEDDY'S P.O.V It appeared the odds were starting to turn in our favor. Maybe things were finally starting to look up for us. With all the negatives piling against us, I was sure we would fail. Which also made me a little weary. Up until now, nothing has worked in our favor. So for one of her descendants to fall into our laps after all the blows we've received here lately was a miracle. "If what you tell me is true, then she is already awake. But to break free from her mummification, she would have to see both her sword and gem together." "Then we should be good because, as far as we can tell, they are nowhere near each other," Fenirs quickly responded. "But they are at the same time," I said next. "It's either they are or they aren't," she responded while looking between the two of us. "We know where the sword is. However, when it comes to the gem, we think that it's nearby, only hidden in a dark compartment." "But you aren't sure?" "Not precisely," I repli
CHAPTER 167 HELP HERTEDDY'S P.O.V I had this sudden urge to follow the person who was just there. But why? Why was I feeling so strongly about this particular person? Did it have something to do with our situation, or something entirely different? "I'll be back," I said as I rose from my seat. "WAIT!" Novalee hollered out as Fenirs jumped up. "Does she always act on instinct without using her head?" I heard her ask Fenirs , who only huffed a laugh out in response. "Teddy, hold on, what if it's Sybil! You need to be more careful!" Something inside of me told me that it wasn't her. But I wasn't sure why I felt this way. I hadn't had this strong of a connection to anyone since Iblis pushed his way into my mind. Was this person as powerful as Iblis to push her way into my head? What did this person want? "She has a point T. We have a family to think about here. We can't just act on instinct anymore. Not when Alex is awake." "Sybil." Novalee corrected. "Whatever her name is, tha
CHAPTER 168 WHAT'S GOING ON?FENIRS 'S P.O.V I sat down at the table while Teddy went to the restroom. I wasn't sure how I was supposed to help her if I had no idea what she was experiencing. She only ever had a psychic connection to Iblis, so for her to now have a new one worried me. As I sat down I could hear Novalee continuing to talk. We had such opposite ideas that it made it hard to have an actual conversation with the girl. She wanted us to do everything her way. And although she has more information on Sybil than we did, that didn't make everything she wanted to do right or smart. "Does she get distracted like this often?" That was an understatement. Ever since meeting Teddy, she had always been a distraction, but it was more or less me being distracted by her. Sometimes I wish we could go back and live in that peaceful bliss. The bliss of a memory without awareness of all the dangers lurking in the dark. But had we remained in the dark, unspeakable actions would have happe
CHAPTER 170 TENSION IN THE AIRTEDDY'S P.O.V Shortly after the ghostly figure of the unknown woman disappeared, we arrived back at the packhouse. Novalee pulled into the parking lot like a bat out of hell. 'Who is this crazy person driving like they have no sense?' A mind-link from Uriah came through. 'Someone who we need to work alongside.' I quickly mind-linked back. With all that was going on, I honestly hadn't had time to check how he or Lilly were doing. I feel bad about his situation. His fated mate was so traumatized by her past that he couldn't even get near her, let alone speak to her. He said he wouldn't give up, but nobody would blame him if he did. I would never call someone a loss cause, but I can say their relationship most likely was. There was no coming back to normalcy after all she had endured while being a captive in Liam's pack. We stepped out of our car as Novalee parked hers. "We have pups that live here, which means you need to be more cautious when pullin
CHAPTER 171 STEAMY LOVETEDDY'S P.O.V Once I got Novalee settled, I decided I would make a quick pit stop by Lilly's room. However, when I arrived, the door was slightly cracked. I could hear all that was being said from inside. "You can't act like I am your property, then go back to ignoring me. I won't wait forever for you to decide if I am worth your time. I know my worth, and it's more than this shit. If you had a second chance mate, then maybe so do I. So if you won't accept me, just fucking reject me already. I can't take this anymore." My heart clenched in my chest at the words I was hearing. It made me sick to remember the pain I felt when I was rejected. "So, you're not going to say anything still. Fuck this." He said, followed by a banging sound. "You have until the end of this week to figure it out. If you don't, I'll take the reins into my own hands and create my own fate. I never thought fate would be so cruel to me." "Neither did I!" "Oh so she does talk, it just t
CHAPTER 172 ALL-NIGHTERFENIRS 'S P.O.V I wanted her to be pleased both physically and emotionally; but mostly, I just needed her to know how much she meant to me. Worshiping her body was my way of doing just that. I wasn't big on romantic gestures, the beginning of our relationship proved that. Which was something I had to work on. However, I could shower every inch of her body with love and affection. Which was the perfect way I could express my love. She deserved the world and since I couldn't do that, I would just rock hers. My lips traced the outline of her nipple. I could feel myself slowly losing control over my actions. Like a fiend, or like a bad habit. But this was nowhere close to being a bad habit. It was something so pure, magical, and wholesome. My hand took the place where hers was working. Tonight was going to be all about her. For that to happen she needed to relax and enjoy herself. I desperately desired her to know that no matter what happens in the weeks to foll
