Chapter 13."Come in?" I looked at the door as I put on my white sandals.Claire walked in and she looked around the room. "Well this is super nice.""Hey! Yeah but it's not welcoming or homey feeling." I walked over to her and hugged her."That is true but it has a elegant touch to it." She smiled and returned the hug."Yeah, I suppose you are right. Ready to go?" I walked over and gathered my things."Yeah there is a limo outside for us with a light breakfast inside." She wiggled her brows."Oh nice! I wonder why we are taking a limo?" I questioned."Really, you're mated to a Lycan Prince, when you all mark each other you will be announced as a princess in front of all the high ranking Lycans and the High ranking Alphas and Betas of the strongest packs in their territory." She rolled her eyes."Oh yeah. It's just kind of hard to wrap my mind around. I went from a no body to being mated to a Lycan and being a Lycan myself!" I laughed.We ended up eating bagels with cinnamon cream che
Ana stood before Damien, her heart racing with anticipation. She had made her decision, and she knew it wouldn't be easy."Damien, I've been thinking," Ana said, her voice firm. "I'm going to continue my training with Victor."Damien's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched. "Ana, I thought we discussed this. Victor can't be trusted."Ana took a deep breath. "I know you don't trust him, but I need his help. And I'm willing to take that risk."Damien's expression turned cold. "Fine. But know this, Ana: if you're hurt because of him, I'll never forgive you."Ana's heart ached at Damien's words, but she knew she had to follow her path. "I understand," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Damien turned and walked away, leaving Ana feeling torn and uncertain. Had she made the right decision?Damien stormed out of the room, his anger boiling over. He couldn't believe Ana was willing to risk her safety for Victor's training. Didn't she see the danger in trusting him?As he walked, his though
Victor sneered at Ana, his eyes flashing with contempt. "You think you can defeat me, little witch?" he spat. "I have the power of the ancient ones on my side!"Ana's eyes blazed with determination. "I'll never let you win," she snarled, her powers surging to the surface.The two enemies clashed in a blast of magic, their powers locked in a struggle that shook the very foundations of the room. Damien fought to keep the pack at bay, his strength and agility honed to perfection.Elizabeth struggled to her feet, her eyes fixed on Victor. "I won't let you hurt them," she whispered, her powers building to a crescendo.As the battle raged on, Ana began to feel a strange sensation building inside her. It was as if her powers were growing stronger, more intense. She could feel the magic coursing through her veins like liquid fire.Suddenly, she knew what she had to do. With a fierce cry, she unleashed her powers in a blast of magic that shook the very foundations of the earth. Victor stumbled
I felt like I'd been living in a dream, and suddenly, I was slapped awake. Damien's words cut deep, and I couldn't breathe. I thought of all the times we'd shared, the laughter, the adventures, the birth of our son... it all seemed like a lie.I looked at Alexander, sleeping peacefully in his crib, and my heart ached. How could Damien do this to us? To our child?I tried to speak, but my voice was shaking. "How can you say that?" I managed to whisper. "We have a son together."Damien's expression was cold, unyielding. "That was a mistake. I didn't want to be tied down. And now, I'm free."Free? He was free? I was the one who'd given him everything, who'd loved him with all my heart.I felt a surge of anger, of hurt. "You'll never see Alexander again," I spat, trying to keep my tears back.Damien shrugged. "I don't want to."I knew then that I had to leave. I couldn't stay in this palace, with this man who'd broken my heart. I packed my bags, took Alexander, and walked out into the unk
As I stood there, frozen in shock, my sister began to circle around me, her eyes never leaving mine. "We were meant to be together, Ana," she said, her voice low and husky. "We were meant to rule together."I shook my head, trying to clear the cobwebs. "What are you talking about?" I demanded. "We're twins, but that doesn't mean we're automatically allies."My sister laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "Oh, but it does," she said. "You see, Ana, we're not just twins. We're two halves of the same whole. And together, we can achieve greatness."I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized what she was getting at. "You want to merge our powers," I said, horror creeping into my voice.My sister nodded, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "Yes, Ana. Together, we can be unstoppable. We can rule the world."I knew then that I had to stop her. I couldn't let her get her hands on my powers, no matter what. I raised my hands, summoning a blast of magic to knock her off her feet.But my sister w
As we ventured deeper into the heart of the imbalance, the air grew thick with an eerie, pulsating energy. I could feel the weight of the prophecy bearing down upon me, the fate of our realm hanging precariously in the balance.Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. Damien, the mysterious and powerful sorcerer who had once rejected me, now stood before me with a look of determination."I know I was wrong to push you away," he said, his voice filled with conviction. "I realize now that I was blind to the true extent of your power and potential. I want to make it right, to help you fulfill the prophecy and restore balance to the realm."I narrowed my eyes, wary of his sudden change of heart. "Why should I trust you, Damien? You rejected me when I needed you most."Damien took a step closer, his eyes burning with intensity. "Because I love you," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I was afraid of your power, afraid of losing control. But I see now that I was wrong to fear i
Damien's eyes held mine, a hint of curiosity in their depths. "What's on your mind?" he asked, his voice low and gentle.I hesitated, unsure of how to reveal my feelings. But something about his kind expression put me at ease. "I think I might be falling for you," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.Damien's face lit up with a radiant smile. "I'm already there," he said, his eyes shining with warmth.My clone sister cleared her throat, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Well, isn't this sweet?" she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.I blushed, feeling a mix of emotions. But Damien just chuckled and wrapped his arm around me, pulling me close. "We'll figure it out together," he said.Just then, a soft voice interrupted us. "Um, excuse me?" It was Mira, the young sorceress. "I don't mean to intrude, but Eira wants to see you all in the council chamber. There's something important to discuss."We exchanged a look, our moment of tenderness forgotten for now. But I knew that this wa
You should have stayed out of this game," Xandros repeated, his eyes gleaming with triumph.I struggled against the chains that bound me, but they were too strong. I was trapped, at the mercy of my former allies.Damien's eyes met mine, filled with a mix of anger and regret. "I'm sorry," he mouthed, before Xandros' gaze fell upon him, and he looked away.Zephyr's expression was unreadable, her eyes fixed on the floor. Had she been playing us all along?Lysander sneered, his face twisted in contempt. "You were always too trusting," he spat. "Too weak."Rowan's eyes seemed to hold a hint of sadness, but his voice was firm. "We had no choice," he said. "Xandros promised us power beyond our wildest dreams."I felt a surge of anger and betrayal. How could they do this to me? To us?Xandros chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You see, my dear, you were always just a pawn in our game. A means to an end."I spat at his feet, defiance burning within me. "You'll never win," I snarled.
