Karen was done cooking, she dished out the food before calling the boys, they all gathered in the kitchen. It have a little counter that demarcated it from the living room and chairs were arranged next to it to enable people eat in the kitchen." Wow this looks really nice and it smells nice as well, I hope it taste as good as it smell” Xavier voiced with a smile on his face, he hadn't eaten anything since the incident with Paul and his friends. " Don't worry your little pretty head about anything, I'm sure after you taste my meal, you will never want to eat any other food ever again" she said with a lot of confidence. " Sure let me dig in" he picked up his spoon ready to take a taste of the food. Lewis sat at the opposite side of the table, as he could see Karen clearly from where he sat, he smiled at her before looking at the food " The food is nice" he said judging from the outside appearance of the food." You haven't even tasted it yet" she said waiting from him to put some in
A few days had passed after Karen, Xavier and Lewis had seen each other because Tyler wanted her to rest before starting school for anything. That's morning, Karen and her family sat on the dinner table to have breakfast, the most important meal of the day.“ Karen sweetie how are you feeling?” Karen’s father asked her as he tried to reach for the jar of peanut butter.“ I'm fine now, not like I wasn't sick before” she turned toward Tyler who made a fuss the last few days. Karen was now a little bit much better, her senses had returned and she wasn't feeling under the weather anymore.“ you’re right” Tyler scoffed as he rolled his eyes. “ if Lance hadn’t check you out only the heavens knows how you'll be looking right now, you need to take better care of yourself Karen” he said, it was a known fact that Karen was used to everything been done for her on a platter of gold.“ I won't be here always to take care of you” “ that right there is a point in life where you wouldn't have to see
Karen slowly turned as she began to think on what excuse she was going to give Luna Lucretia for not actually asking for directions to the bathroom.“ I'm sorry I thought I was in my house, I think I have the habit of forgetting where I am most times”.“ I think it happens to most of us we always stay in our head” the Luna said with a smile “Pheeew, that was close” she said to herself thinking about what a mess it would have being if she hadn’t thought of something in time.“Airel will show you to the bathroom” she said as she beckoned on the maid to take Karen to the bathroom.Karen and Airel slowly walked down the passage, she could remember all the memories of her and Luna Lucretia having a wonderful time, she always talked about how Karen was a prefect gift to their family, how she always took Karen’s side in an argument with Allen no matter how wrong she was. Karen felt like her actual child during this period, she also talked about how her little children would fill the mansion
Karen quickly got changed and made an entry back into the dining area." I'm sorry for the delay and once again Karen thank you, you and your family have done so much for us" Luna smiled at her arrivalThe dinner ended up been a discussion about Karen's life, the things she loved, what she wanted to do and her goal and each time Karen spoke, Luna Lucretia beamed with joy as she listened carefully. Allen on the other hand sat quietly watching everything that was happening, he stared at Karen occasionally while she didn't even take as much as a glance in his direction, soon after Karen's biggest wish came through and the dinner was over." I'll love you to come back once again" Luna Lucretia said with a smile across her face, if Karen had her way her family will never breath the same air as the Alpha's family, " we'll be delighted if you have us over for dinner once again" Karen's father voiced with a smile before walking towards the car." Karen!" The Luna called out causing Karen to t
Xavier sat on his bed contemplating whether or not he should tell Lewis what he had noticed on the day they were both in Tyler's guest house, he was certain for sure that someone was definitely looking for Karen but he couldn't tell who it was or what it was.Whatever was looking for her was serious and it or they knew a couple of spells that could track Karen down but telling Lewis will only make him worry and when Lewis was worried he tended to do things without thinking twice about it, this was what Xavier was trying to avoid.After giving it a long hard thought he decided to tell Lewis the truth, after all he was the only reason Karen was still breathing air through her lungs, he walked out from his room and down towards the kitchen where Lewis was preparing dinner, "Hey, you're awake… I thought you were sleeping that's why I didn't bother to wake you up, I almost done preparing dinner, just hold on a bit, I'll set the table and we can start to eat" Lewis smiled before walking back
FEWS HOURS BEFORE Xavier and Lewis drove towards the school, when Lewis stopped the car immediately just in front of the school gate "Do you feel that?" he asked"Yes definitely, we have few hours till school starts, we need to find out where the energy is coming from" Lewis proceeded to drive through the gate. They both got down from the car and into the building. "What makes you think we can find the energy source here in the school?" "This was where Karen was drawn to, definitely we would find whoever is behind it" he said as they began to search each room to know where the energy was. After searching for about 30 minutes the energy pull became stronger. " I think another spell was made" Lewis said as the pull became stronger than before." You're right but how do we find where it's coming from? People are beginning to arrive, try calling Karen she needs to stay away from the school for now" " Sure" Lewis picked up his phone giving Karen a call but she didn't answer. "She's no
Lewis carried Karen down from his car and took her inside the house, he set her down on the bed, before rushing off to get a cold bottle of water from the kitchen. “I don't feel so good” Karen said as she tried standing on her feet,“ no…. No don't stand, just lie down… Xavier is on his way, he's going to know what to do” he helped her drink the water. Karen drank in a rush, like it could quench her thirst. Lewis picked up his phone to check on Xavier but he didn’t pick up the call. Lewis not knowing what to do sat beside her holding her hands to ensure that she was still alive, “ I…… feel….. I….. feel hot everywhere” she whispered, holding unto him tightly.“Just drink the water, it’s cold… it will help you calm down” Lewis was becoming a bit frustrated as he didn’t have any ideas about what to do to make her feel better.“ I don't understand why any of this is happening at all, I don't know what's happening to me every time I’m thinking it all over it just beginning" Karen said as
Xavier immediately got out of the school in search for a taxi heading towards the outskirt of town, he had made plans with someone that had always helped him with learning how to make use of his powers, He soon got to his destination. He got out of the car and raced towards the gate, he was hoping that she was home, she was the only one that could help him out with his problem. “Kelsy! Kelsy!!” he called out while knocking on the gate, immediately the gates made a sound indicating it was being opened, it was pulled open revealing first a set of tiny hands and then followed by a very adorable looking child. “Uncle Xavier!” the child said smiling as she ran towards Xavier before giving him a hug, Xavier lifted him up into his arms.“ Oh my, Mentie you look all grown up…”“ Mentie! How many times have I told you not to answer the door or talk to strangers” his mother’s voiced as she walked out to see who her 5 years old son was busy having a conversion with.“ Xavier, you’re here” she cr
“Karen!" the sound of Lewis's voice echoed throughout the forest, He was sure that this was Karen. The figures sighed before turning around, Lewis couldn't believe his eyes, he stood still. Frozen, shivers running down his spine, “Karen!” whispered with tears falling from his eyes, his angel the woman he dedicated his life to and the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, the same woman who wants die and disappear in his arms. She was standing right in front of him, looking beautiful and radiant as ever.Great Lewis, go ahead and start hallucinating, it's so early in the morning and you didn't even have anything to drink” he said to himself as he placed his hands on his waist still staring at Karen figure took a deep breath before closing his eyes.“It will all go away and fade” he voiced before reopening them but the figure did not go away neither did he stop seeing her. “You are silly as the day we met” Karen spoke with a smile.“It's me, I am real, you're not jus
Lewis arrived at the wedding venue an hour later, dressed in a black suit with a white shirt and a silver tie. He felt nervous as he entered the hall where the ceremony was taking place He greeted them politely as he made his way to the front row where the groomsmen were seated. He found a seat beside Xavier who hugged him as soon as he sat down. “Hey man, good to see you. You look as good as you can manage” Lewis rolled his eyes but chuckled at his best friend’s mild insult “I still look better than you though” “I though you weren’t going to make it. You were almost late” Lewis smiled sheepishly and said apologetically. “Yeah…sorry about that. I was having second thoughts.” Xavier shook his head and said understandingly. “It’s okay, Lewis. I get it. It’s hard for you to be here.” Lewis nodded and said sadly. “Yeah…it is.” Xavier put his arm around Lewis’s shoulder and said reassuringly. “But I’m glad you’re here, Lew. It means a lot to me. And to Allen too.” Lewis looked at X
Lewis walked slowly with hesitant footsteps towards the little plot of land where Karen’s body disappeared, He came here every day as much as he could to spend time with her because he didn’t want her to be lonely. He felt his heart constrict in pain at the sight of the familiar headstone. He could never get used to it no matter how much he came here. To him, it shouldn’t even exist and Karen should be by his side. He knelt down beside the grave and placed the bouquet of purple lilies in his hand. They reminded him of her so he bought some on the way here. A stray tear dropped on one of the flowers and he reached up to clean it. “Hey, Karen. It’s me, again” He said with a painful chuckle “I miss you so much, baby. You have no idea how hard it is to live without you. I still can’t believe you are gone but this, right here.” He said gesturing to her tomb “is the harshest reminder that you aren’t here if the fact that I don’t see your face when I wake up in the morning isn’t. It’s been
Karen’s family couldn’t believe she was gone, their sister was no more, Sylvester’s heart scattered into a million piece. Kelsy had given Lewis the letters she had written before she died. The letters that Karen had left for her loved ones were filled with love and emotion. To her brother, Sylvester and Tyler, she wrote about how much she loved them and how proud she was of the men they had become. She was grateful to have them in her life. To her best friend, Oyin, she wrote about their friendship and how much it had meant to her. She forgave her understanding that she had no choice and was driven by her love for Allen. To her father, she wrote about how much she had always looked up to him and how much she would miss him. And to Xavier, she wrote about her hope for his future and how she knew he would make a great Alpha. Lewis was the most hurt and broken hearted. When the letters were delivered, each recipient was deeply moved by their contents. Tyler, in particular, was str
The police arrived and Lucretia was scared, she thought that Jayson did a clean job. She was also surprised to see Xavier alive and well. "You're under arrest for attempted murder", the policemen said. "I'm innocent", she screamed. "What's going on here?", Alpha Benson asked The police men explained everything to him and he was in shock. "Lucretia you did what?" "Benson don't listen to them, I didn't do anything" she voiced struggling with the police. "You did a lot, remember killing my mother and her family, you also tried to kill me so, he would know that I am his biological son, the child of Chel, whom you murdered” Xavier said. Alpha Benson was shocked. Both news felt like a hard blow. What did he just hear? "Is that true Lucretia?", he asked. Not understanding a word. "No, it's not true" she voiced denying it all. " Really?" Xavier said pulling out his phone and playing the recording of her confessing to him. Alpha Benson face turned sour as well as the Luna. "I am
Karen sat thinking about everything the goddess has showed her. She wanted to make the right decision to make peace between each clan. She didn't want anyone to sacrifice their life even again. She took a deep breath grab a pen and paper and wrote some words on it. With expression on her face and tears that ran down her cheeks Kelsey could tell that Karen was willing to give her life up to save both clans from this ongoing curse she immediately picked up her phone putting a call through to Lewis. He was busy with the court meetings but Lewis secretary passed on to him phone after it kept ringing. On hearing the words that Kelsy said he stood up immediately raced into the car. He tried his best to get there as fast as he could. His eyes run through the clock and it was just 15 minutes more before they hand struck 12. Lewis hurried to the ritual site, his heart racing. He couldn't believe what he had just heard from Kelsy. Karen was about to do something reckless and dangerous, a
"Let's make things right." Xavier smiled, and for the first time in a long time, he felt a flicker of hope. Jayson was so angry and grabbed a gun from the table, "Do you both think this is all a game?" He asked. " Jayson listen to me you need to drop the gun someone is going to get really hurt if you don't drop it" Tyler voiced slowly pulling Xavier behind himself. "You think this is a game, what makes you understand him and not me?" He spoke still with the gun facing them. "Jayson calm down" "No, we used to be fine, it was just us what happened Tyler. What?" Tyler took a breath trying to gain control of the situation at hand. "Listen to me, I still love you. I do but you doing this is only going to hurt me" he added trying to talk him out of it. " Don't you think, I'm dumb? I know you don't love me anymore but I'm not going to let anyone get you either" he voiced pulling the trigger. "Get out of the way", Sylvester screamed while grabbing the supposed target, Xavier pulled T
After reading the message Tyler rushed into Sylvester's room telling him about everything that was going on. Sylvester took a good look at the video and with a very clear observation he noticed 'dark coal' written on one of the bags on the floor. That must be where they are, it was a building construction site but after some years the company was facing some financial issues and had to close up. Tyler immediately grabbed his car keys, there was no way he was going to let Xavier go even though it meant him signing a dumb illegal contract. They drove in great speed and packed in a distance. They both came down, they have no idea about what the inside looked like and how many men there were. As Sylvester snuck into the building, he tried to be as quiet as possible. He could hear the sound of Jayson's voice echoing down the hall, and he followed the sound to a large room. He peered around the corner, and he saw Jayson standing in front of a large machine, while a bound and helpless
Karen woke up due to the light that shone into the room, it was already morning, she turned to her side and her eyes fell on Lewis, his face reminded her of the previous night. She blushed, she couldn't believe it, she was his and he was hers. She slowly stood from the bed making sure not to wake Lewis, she placed a peck on his cheeks before going to use the bathroom. Karen had her bath and got changed, Lewis was still in bed, Karen decided to let him sleep. She wondered around Lewis's mansion. There were rooms everywhere. She walked along the corridor still with a sweet smile on her face. She suddenly stopped when she heard a loud crashing sound, like someone just fell to the ground and dropped some items, she immediately followed the sound into a room. It was a library. It was filled with rolls and rolls of books, she immediately caught a glimpse of the lady on the floor, she rushed towards her, picking her up. "Are you okay?" She asked, helping her to her feet. "Yes, I just
