Sheena’s POV I was working with some medicine and spells here at the teacher's quarters when I heard a knock on my door. I went to the door and opened it. “What brought you here, Is there anything wrong?” I asked Lucas, the man who greeted me with a worried face. I wonder what brought him here?He will not come here if he doesn’t have any important news.I let him in and offered him a seat but he declined . “ We don’t have a lot of time, Fiona is in danger. She needs you as soon as possible.” He said looking so worried. “What do you mean by that? What happened to her?” I asked him. What has been happening in the Hallow City these past few days? Everything is becoming so messy as the days go by.“I will explain it on our way. We can’t waste more time, every second counts. Just come with me for now, I will explain everything to you.” He said seriously. I have known Lucas since he was young and he is such an easygoing and jolly individual. If he is not in his usual self, it only
Sheena's POV “Sorry, but I think, I need all of you to get out for now.” I said as I stood up to get all the things that I would use for my healing spell.They looked confused when I faced them. They didn't know who would talk first so I decided to explain for them to understand me.“ I need to do a sacred spell, and it will not be successful if someone is watching. I need to concentrate completely to make it work.”I added.This is the only way to save Fiona her life is in danger and every second is crucial.“Okay, I trust you, Sheena. I am counting on you to save my sister “ Alpha Hendrix, said with a serious tone but I could see in his face that he was so worried.I know that he knows how dangerous this poison is. “Let us go everyone, let us just hope for a better result while we are outside. Sheena is a good healer I know that she can save Fiona.” Lucas said to comfort them.They all went outside and I locked the door and all the binds in the windows. The sacred spells are th
Chapter 29 Fiona’s POV I don’t know what happened to me in the forest, all I know now is I am here sitting in a hospital bed.Professor Sheena is standing in front of me. I smelled blood coming from her. The smell is making me lose control. My sharp teeth automatically showed because of the pure smell coming from her blood. This scent is new to me. It makes me want to drink it. “Snap!!” Prof Sheena chanted a spell to calm me down. Glad that she did that because I don’t think I would have stopped myself from drinking her blood if she had not interrupted me.“Glad that the sacred spell worked. I am so glad that you are all ok.” She said with a smile before she passed out.‘Blagg’ She passed out and fell on the floor. Oh no! I did not even catch her before she fell because I still felt a little weak.It must be painful.I remember something because of that. I thought I was dreaming earlier.My body feels so weak. I am aware of my surroundings but I can’t seem to move my body or op
Chapter 30Kiera’ POVI am so relieved and happy that Fiona is already awake and she looks fine.She explained everything and I hurriedly went outside to call a doctor to check on my aunt.Aunt Sheena is lying on the floor unconscious. Fiona said that it is only the side effects of using spells, but I can’t still stop worrying. There was a lot of blood coming out of her wrist, so I wanted a doctor to check on her real quick to be sure.I called the doctor and they hurriedly went to mend Aunt Sheena’s wound, so I decided to check on Fiona if she was really right.I saw the three of them talking to each other so I went to them.“I am going to marry her as soon as possible.” I heard my brother Kelvin say while looking at Fiona.In front of them, there was Hendrix who looked so puzzled right now.“What do you mean by that Kelvin? From what I know you just met just a week ago right?” I said when I reached them.They looked so immersed in what they were talking about. They did not even no
CHAPTER 31 It’s been 5 days since the incident with Fiona happened.She is going to be discharged now from the hospital. I am so thankful that everything turned out well for her.On the other hand, Aunt Sheena is still in the hospital. She still needs to stay there to recover according to the doctors.Now I am wondering, I am only here just a few days ago. A lot of accidents and misfortunes already happened in the period that I was here.Is trouble chasing me?“I was looking for you. What are you doing here?” Hendrix interrupted me from my deep thoughts.“ What do you need? Is it prohibited to come here? I love the vibe here and this is my favorite place in the mansion so don’t you dare stop me from coming here .” I answered while glaring at him.Anyway, I already have his mother's permission to stay here whenever I want. I am just teasing him.“Tsk. I am not stopping you. You can even live here for good if you want.” He said with a low voice but I can still hear him. "What?!" I rep
Kiera’s POVFast-forward We are now here at an elegant-looking boutique. It’s far from where Hendrix's mansion is located.I am so amazed while looking at the wedding gowns and cocktail dresses. I am not into fashion but any girl would fall in love with this place.“Good Morning ma’am. We are here to assist you in trying some of our gowns so you can choose from them.” Two girls went to me to help me try on some clothes.I looked at Hendrix to ask him.“I thought we were just going to get our measurements?” I asked with my creased eyebrow.“My mom planned this. Just go and try some gown so we can go home early.” He answered.Tsk. I hate fitting girly clothes the most. I know that the gowns here are pretty but I am ok with anything I don’t want to try a lot of them. That would be so tiring.“Let’s go, ma’am, “ The girl beside me said and gestured to come to the fitting room. I don’t have any other choice but to follow them.“Try it first ma’am .” The girl said and handed me a tube-typ

It's not too revealing and I love how it fits my body perfectly.I went outside for the third time to show them again. I am starting to get tired of tying on the gowns“Wow, young madam. It looks great on you”“It suits you perfectly ma’am.”The two helpers commented.That’s what I thought too. This one is the prettiest of them all.I faced at Hendrix's location to ask his opinion.“What do you think about this one?” I asked and went a little nearer to him.He looked a little stunned. Is it for real? Or I am just hallucinating?“That one is better I think you can pick that, “ He said then hurriedly stood up and walked out.Tsk. What is wrong with this guy? Now I am sure that this guy has a personality disorder. Sometimes he is warm but most of the time cold and moody.I just can’t really read him.What a weird guy.“I will choose this, the third one.” I politely said to the hel

She looked so stunning ,my chest suddenly felt like it was going to explode.I went outside to chill because something weird was definitely going on.I don’t know what’s gotten into me when I saw her who followed me here."Let's go and get your suit. I want to go home early, I am tired." She said when she stopped in front of me."Can I kiss you?" I don't know why I said that but, I did not even wait for her reply.“I kissed her. “She looked shocked at what I did.“Hey! What’s that for.” She said angrily when I broke the kiss.What did I do? Am I out of my mind?“ I am just practicing for our wedding. “ I said and acted like nothing happened.Shoot. What kind of excuse was that?“Tsk. Crazy.” She said before she walked out.I think she is right am I going crazy? Why did she suddenly turn so pretty in my eyes?I followed her inside
THIRD PERSON'S POVAs Lucas left the hospital, his mind was buzzing with thoughts. He knew he had to get back to the pack, but he also couldn't ignore his body's protests.As he stepped out into the night air, he took a deep breath, feeling the cool breeze against his skin. "I know I should rest, but I can't just sit around while everyone's in danger," he muttered to himself.He walked through the quiet streets, the only sound being his footsteps echoing off the pavement. Every shadow seemed to jump out at him, making him tense up with every step.With each step, his muscles protested, reminding him of his recent ordeal. But he pushed through the pain, his resolve unwavering.

He shifted uncomfortably in the stiff hospital bed, trying to make sense of the situation.Sheena sitting near his bed immediately stands, her smile warm but tinged with concern. "Ah, finally you're awake. How are you feeling, Beta?"Lucas managed a weak smile, his throat dry and scratchy. "Like I've been run over by a freight train. My body is aching all over, what happened anyway?""You don't remember anything?" Sheena asked confused."Yes, I can't recall what happened after the fight," Lucas answered, trying to remember the last events before he passed out."How about Adam? Do you remember him?" Sheena asked.Lucas answered by nodding, he still couldn't believe that Adam could do that."You were brought in unconscious, suffering from wolfsbane poisoning. You've been here for a few days now. It's a miracle you survived. You are so lucky that some citizens found you

With every ounce of strength left in me, I pushed against the effects of the toxin, struggling to stand even as my limbs trembled uncontrollably.Adam's laughter echoed cruelly in the quiet forest. mocking my futile resistance. "You were always too predictable, Lucas. So blinded by your loyalty to this city that you never saw the truth.""What truth are you talking about? You are the one blinded by your greed. How dare you betray our pack!" I said with remorse."You don't need to know the details, it will be a waste to tell you because you are going to die anyway." He answered with a grin.But I won't give up. Not now, not ever. Ignoring the burning pain coursing through me, I focused on my energy.With a primal roar, I forced myself upright, meeting Ad

The pain from the stab wound intensified, but I refused to let it show.I need to remain strong physically and mentally to protect Hallow City."You traitor," I growled, my voice filled with anger and disappointment. "Why?"How can you do this in your homeland," I asked him with disbelief.Adam's smirk widened as he stepped closer, holding the knife in his hand. "It's nothing personal, Lucas. Just business."His words sent a chill down my spine. "Business? What are you talking about?"Adam chuckled darkly. "You'll find out soon enough. Oops, I am not too sure about that, because it's time to say goodbye to your precious city."With that ominous warning, Adam lunged forward, aiming to strike again. With a deep sigh, I gain my strength, my wounds are slowly healed while he was talking nonstop earlier.I braced myself for the impact, determined to protect my pa
