Maisey watched as Susu walked away from the cavern. His mind was racing and his thoughts were very much disoriented. He knew that she had a plan, an evil one, but there was no way he was getting it out of her. She was just too smart for him.He ran his fingers through his hair as he pondered upon his next line of action. If Susu actually double crossed him in the palace, there was no way he was going to come out alive. Julian's wolves would surely overpower him and tear him to pieces. He had to think of a backup plan. Especially since everything that was happening in that damned palace were kept vague to the rest of them by Susu. As his thoughts ran wild, he heard the sound of footsteps stealthily approaching and he stopped to listen. He knew who it was -Maika. She had a knack for good deeds and as much as Maisey had tried to incorporate her into the revolution, he knew she still had a good heart. He was going to give her time to adjust, then make a decision between killing her off o
Maika walked in and that was when their whole plan clicked in her head. She had walked right into their plot and now she had no proof if they were even saying the truth. Yet she let herself be walked into whatever trap they were setting for her. "Fucking cowards!" She cursed out, blaming herself for letting them fool her. "If you are as strong as you claim to be, come out and let us fight in the open!""Finish with your mother first!" The faint reply came from outside making Maika jump in fear, she wasn’t expecting them to hear her after the door was locked nor give her a reply. "Hopefully, you'll be ours to kill thereafter." The guard added after a dramatic pause and Maika scoffed and groped around, trying to find her way in the dark hall. Not a single ray of light was in the room.She spread her palms out and she could feel another presence in the room. She wasn’t alone and she had a faint idea who the other person was. "Damn you, Sage!" Maika grunted after waiting for some tim
Rosella sat up on her bed at the sound of the voice."Who are you?" She asked. "I don't have your powers. Please let me be."Rosella felt a sharp pain in her stomach and she screamed in pain. The guard watching over her rushed to her side to check up on her."Are you okay, my Queen?" He asked.Rosella did not reply. Her eyes were shut tight and her hands, clasped over her stomach."My Queen!"The guard turned around and ran to get help while Rosella screamed in pain on the bed. A few minutes later, he was back with two more guards and a doctor."She started screaming all of a sudden," the guard explained.The doctor assessed Rosella for a minute and he frowned. "It could be that the baby is on its way. Anything other than that would be very bad news. Take her and follow me."The guard hunched Rosella up on his shoulders and walked behind the doctor, all the way to the pack hospital.He dropped Rosella on a bed and watched as the doctor injected her with a substance."That would calm
As soon as he was out of the hospital, Alpha Julian shifted into his wolf and barreled down the road.His eyes were blood red with anger. Someone had betrayed him, not just anyone, but his most trusted guard, and now he was going to make the bastard pay.He stopped at the door of the throne room and shifted back to his human form. Pushing the grand doors, he walked in and spun around."Alex!" He growled. "Show yourself at once."The other guards in the throne room stared at him, surprised. They were probably wondering why he was calling out the chief guard but no one dared to say a word."Alex!" Alpha Julian growled again. There was still no answer and so he turned around and headed towards his room.He pushed the door open and walked in. Alex stood at alert at the sight of the Alpha and he bowed quickly."My King," Alex bowed. "Is she out of danger?""You ask me that?" Alpha Julian growled. "You betray me and still dare to ask me if she is out of danger?""I would never betray you, m
It took Maika more than an hour to open the over hundred doors that were in the cavern.With the key now in her possession, Maika knew that the whole truth was hers to find out. She desperately needed to know what her mother was talking about.As she walked towards the last door at the end of the hallway, her heart pounded in her chest. Could she trust her mother? What if it was a trap?Maika got to the door and stared at it for a while. The handle was old, rusted and dusty and she knew at once that it had been there for a long while.She tried the key on the lock and after a few turns, the door clicked open.Maika walked in cautiously and as soon as she was in, the door shut close with a bang. She spun around, surprised and tried to open it but it was stuck. She was trapped inside.“Very stupid of me to trust you,” She muttered to herself.She chanted a spell and a spark emerged from her fingers, slowly turning to a small fire. Thankfully, the room was not magic proof like the one in
Susu carried the dead baby all the way to the abandoned warehouse.Her heart raced with excitement at the thought of getting Akayla back fully. Together, they were going to take over the world, just as Akayla had promised her.She got to the door of the warehouse and she looked around quickly to make sure that no one was looking. Seeing that no one was around, Susu pushed the door open and walked in.From a distance, she could feel the energy buzzing around Akayla. Even in her vegetative state, she was that powerful. Susu dared to wonder for a minute how strong she would be when all her powers were back.She stopped at the bed where the witch lay and she slowly removed the cloth that covered her body."My Queen," Susu announced her presence.Akayla woke up with a start and her eyes shone black. Her face was a mask of different dull colors: ash, grey and black in a few places, a subtle reminder of the day that she had tried to get the powers out of the portal and got badly burnt.Susu
Rosella begged for the tears but they refused to come. The one person that mattered the most to her, she had lost. The evil witch now had her baby."Rosella!" Alpha Julian called again.She ignored his call and lay down on the bed silently. The smoke was restricting his view and she knew that he would have a hard time finding her."Where were you when I needed you the most!" Rosella cried. "I lost him!"There was a deafening silence in the room for a long while and Alpha Julian spoke finally. His voice was calm."How did it happen?""Susu!" Rosella cried. "I told you she was evil all the while but you never believed me. I'm the crazy witch who doesn't know what she's saying. Now we've lost our little boy.""No harm will come upon our baby," Alpha Julian promised. "I can assure you of that.""You can't assure me of anything," Rosella shook her head. "She would have killed me if she wanted to. You said you would be beside me but you weren't."From her voice, Alpha Julian could tell that
A shrill scream from over a mile jolted Alpha Julian out of his reverie. He shifted into his wolf at once and his ears perked up, alert.Someone was watching him and he could feel it.He growled and bared his fangs, daring whoever it was to appear, but no one came for a while.Just as he shifted back to his human form, he saw her. Even in the midst of the fire, her aura was powerful. Her hair was blood red and burned along with the flame in the warehouse and she smiled noticing his stare."We meet again, Julian," Akayla smiled.Alpha Julian growled and watched as she walked closer to him. He backed away as she came closer."Are you now scared of me?" Akayla taunted him."I can never be scared of you," Alpha Julian growled. "You're nothing.""I was," Akayla agreed. "But not anymore, and all thanks to your little son."Akayla threw a stick at him and Alpha Julian caught it at once. Staring at it, he realized that it was not actually a stick. It looked like a little child, a little child
