Cass stood outside, next to Aiden's car while his gaze was fixed on the floor. The moment he heard the sound of the front door open widely, he took his gaze up immediately. As he watched Kiara approach him, her beauty radiated in the elegant royal blue dress and matching accessories, her golden necklace glinting in the light.Truly, Kiara was beautiful. Caught off-guard, he straightened his posture and started forward, only to be halted by Aiden, who had silently slipped past him. He had forgotten that Aiden had been also standing next to him. “What the hell was I thinking, going to meet Kiara!.” Cass whispered silently.With a deep frown, Cass made his way to the car's front seat, his eyes fixed on the window.He watched in silence as Aiden reached Kiara, whispering something in her ear that elicited a giggle from her. Aiden then took her hand, and together they to the car.The moment they both climbed into the car, Cass clenched his fist tightly. He was starting to get sick and ti
“Is he dead?.” Taylor questioned as she grabbed the mirror from Gwen’s hands and held it firmly. “Not yet, but this should be enough to keep usprepared for our next plan.” Gwen responded while she rose to her feet. Taylor glared at the mirror, her smile turning into a snarl as her fingers traced its surface. “You’ll pay for everything you've done Aiden,” she hissed, setting the mirror down with a thud. “When I find my necklace, you’ll regret messing with me.” she uttered as she stood to her feet as well.“He’s vulnerable, but the necklace is our best weapon,” Gwen gasped, while she dropped to her knees in exhaustion. “The forbidden blood spell weakens me by the minute. We must find the necklace before it’s too late.”Taylor knelt beside Gwen, and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down,” she vowed. “We’ll find the necklace and use its power to finish what I and Scarlett were not able to complete. Aiden won't know what hit him.”Gwen nodded weakl
NEW YORK 10:45 PM.Gwen, her face a mask of horror, took in a shaky breath as she stared at the ruins of the building. “There’s no way I’m going in there,” she declared while her voice trembled with fear. Taylor grasped Gwen’s hands firmly as she spoke. “We don’t have any other choice. It might be in there.”Gwen closed her eyes, wrestling with her terror. “Scarlett’s...is her body still in there?” She managed to ask, her voice barely above a whisper.“There's no way It could remain the same. Besides, I burnt down the whole building. I just couldn't allow her body to rot.” Taylor uttered as she turned her gaze to the floor as a tear dropped down from her eyes. “I sincerely miss her.” She added while she clenched her fist tightly.Gwen’s embrace offered a semblance of comfort, as she wrapped her arms around Taylor’s trembling frame. “I’m sure she does miss you too,” Gwen murmured, her voice soft and soothing. “Scarlett will always be with you, just like all the others we’ve lost, inclu
“Hey there,” a voice greeted Lisa from behind. As its warmth and friendliness caught her attention, she turned around immediately and her eyes fell on a woman with blonde hair and a trendy outfitThe moment the stranger stepped closer, a warm smile graced her lips. “Are you lost?” she asked kindly, as her eyes crinkled with concern.Lisa hesitated at first, but as she took in the sincerity of the woman’s smile, she found herself relaxing. “Oh, no, I’m just looking for a cab to take me home,” she replied, her tone friendly but cautious.Lisa’s gaze flickered sideways and as soon as she noticed the emptiness of the street, a hint of wariness seeped into her expression. When Gwen, sensed Lisa’s hesitation, she turned away with a polite, “It’s fine, I just wanted to help. See you around,” before heading off.However, Lisa wasn’t willing to let her only source of transportation leave just yet. She quickly reached out and grabbed Gwen’s hand with a slight desperation. “I guess I do need a r
“Why didn't you allow me to deal with her a little? What was that all about Taylor? Or are you still in love with that coward even after everything you told me he did or are you scared of him?.” Gwen questioned as she applied the brake and climbed out of the car angrily.As she stood outside, Taylor got down from the car as well and when she tried to leave without responding to Gwen's questions, Gwen rushed to her and held her right hand firmly. “Hey, I'm sorry for yelling okay? But I just don't get why you're so weak and soft-hearted.” Gwen said as she gasped Taylor's other hand with hers.“This isn't how witches like us act, Taylor. Right from time, our generations were known as the strongest witches and now, are you going to spoil that record just because of a mere beta?.” Gwen added. As Gwen spoke, Taylor lowered her head downward and slowly fixed her gaze to the floor. “I know Gwen, I know the kind of bloodline I have but still, I really love him. I love him wholeheartedly and h
“Where the hell are we going?” Kiara questioned as she climbed out of the car. Aiden grabbed her hands tightly and pulled her close to him. “You really don't have to be this curious.” He teased as he led the way while Kiara followed behind. When they got to the front gate of a large building, Aiden paused immediately and turned to Kiara as he began to speak. “Thank you so much for everything Kiara, I really don't know how to appreciate you for everything but I just want you to know that I love you so much.”As Aiden spoke, Kiara glanced into his eyes and smiled warmly. “There's nothing else I want but to have you as mine forever.”He continued. With a deep sigh, Aiden shook his hands into his pocket and brought out a key. He then placed the key in Kiara's hands. Confused, Kiara glanced at the keys in her hands and then glanced back at Aiden.When he saw the look on Kiara's face, he let out a warm smile immediately. “It's yours.” He uttered. Kiara arched her brows surprisedly, she co
“Whoa, slow down there, Rapunzel,” Aiden chuckled as he walked Kiara’s excited reaction to the sleek black BMW 430i parked in front of them.Kiara let out a delighted squeal and rushed forward to unlock the car with the key fob.Once she had climbed inside she began to marvel at the luxurious interior, running her hands over the smooth leather seats and admiring the polished dashboard.“This is beautiful! Amazing!” she exclaimed with her voice filled with awe and admiration. With a spring in her step, Kiara clambered out of the car and rushed towards Aiden with a radiant smile on her face. “So, do you love it?” Aiden asked as he rubbed the back of his head with a sheepish grin. Without a word, Kiara threw her arms around him, pulling him into a tight embrace. “I guess you do,” Aiden whispered while his warm breath tickled her ear.Kiara squeezed him tighter and whispered back, “Thank you so much.” The emotion in her voice was palpable and her gratitude practically radiated from her b
CHICAGO 11:34 PM.“This should do it,” Gwen announced as she placed the crystal ball back in its ornate wooden box after a deep inhale. While Taylor watched her, a sinister smile curled on her lips immediately. “This isn’t enough to make her despise Blake just yet, Gwen,” she said. Taylor began to pace the room with her mind clearly in motion. “That’s why I need to return to New York. That way, I can secure Blake as mine and ensure that bitch runs for her life at the sound of his voice.” Gwen watched in silence as Taylor’s frustration grew. You’re being too desperate, Taylor,” Gwen declared coldly.“Remember our plan? Or are you going to let your love for Blake ruin everything?”Taylor stopped in her tracks and turned to face Gwen with a sigh. “No, I haven’t forgotten,” she said, clenching her fist. “It’s just that no matter how hard I try, he keeps coming into my mind. I love him.”Gwen’s eyes softened instantly as empathy colored her gaze.“I know you do, Taylor. But you need to re
