**Alpha Xavier's POV**“Xavier, I know what I said to you. And it's still in my memory. However, you know how much I spent just to make the dagger I wield now. For me to be able to create more of these daggers, I'll have to go to the three witches of the east. Also, you know how much they demand to make me such a weapon. If I should venture into this, I'm afraid our treasuries will be empty at the end of the day. That's not what I want for us at all.”Drake nodded his head in agreement at my lengthy explanations. “Since it has come to this, why don't we seek help from our most loyal packs?”“I've thought about this as well, but Drake, you know just how hard they worked. You know how many they've sacrificed just for my rescue. It will be so selfish of me to go to them now.”“What are you talking about? Alpha Xavier, it seems you're forgetting something. The reason they could sleep at night without the vampires invading them like they do with us is simple and that is the fact that our
***Alpha Xavier's POV**“My duty? How is protecting your packs my duty? If that's the case, why don't you all resign from your positions and make me the Alpha of your packs, then I'll really accept that it's my duty to protect your packs!”They all went silent and refused to meet my gaze.“All you do is invade weaker packs up their treasures to enrich yourselves. You neither go to battle nor defend your pack. You easily call on others to defend your packs against those whom you've stolen from. Furthermore, you all should be ashamed of yourselves. None of you is entitled to banter words with me here, concerning this matter. I lost a mate to the Vampires. Tell me, what did you lose to them?!”I snapped in anger, but no one dared to reply to me. They all fell silent. Just then, I suddenly felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw that it was Denver. “Alpha, please calm down. I'm sure they'll come around,” he comforted me. I stared at the men and noticed how they sudden
***Unknown POV***“Did you really see her?” “Yes, mother, I saw her. She's truly Lord Badmos daughter. According to the old scroll where ancient history is written, only her descendants could break this curse that had lingered in our family for a hundred years now.”“Mother, I think this is our time to be saved. The goddess must have brought her to the coven for us. We must not let this opportunity we've got pass us by.”“I'm old and can't give birth, but you, my child, will not be like me. I want you to bear offspring, for our family.”“But mother, aren't you afraid of the consequences? I'm sure afraid of the consequences, if you ask me. I don't want you to leave me.”“Anna, you must be strong and carry out this mission. We are not going to pass away without breaking the curse. Aren't you afraid that our generation will be no different from ours.”“I'm not concerned about the future kids. I don't want anything to do with them. All I want is for you to be okay. I can't afford to lose
***Melissa's POV****It's been a month and the fight with the vampire was still on. I was beginning to get distressed and wished that I was with him when the battle was taking place. Maybe, just maybe, the battle would have ended a long time ago. The only reason I hadn't gone insane despite all this was because I still managed to hear from him through mind link. He was still very much strong and according to what he reported to them. More weapons have been made to get rid of the vampires. I felt relieved to hear this because this has been one of the greatest problems we've been having, and that was the lack of weapons to fight the enemies. Now that there are enough weapons, I was told that the Vampires don't jump into battle like they used to I had no idea that they also had fear in them. I thought they were going to fight head on forever. I looked outside the window and I noticed it was getting dark. I need to race my wolf. Ever since I gave birth, I had never for once, raced my
***Melissa's POV***As soon as I arrived at my room door, I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. I can't let my emotions run all over the place, else I might collapse. Arnold was right next to me, waiting for me to open the door as well. As soon as I opened the door, I rushed in, and so did Arnold. To my greatest horror, my child's carrier was empty, and the new babysitter wasn't in the room either. “No!”I screamed out at the top of my voice. “Melissa, please explain. What's going on, and where is your child? Where did you keep him? At that moment, my heart began to beat so fast that I didn't even know what to say at that moment. “Melissa? You can't be quiet. Did someone take him? If so, you need to give me a description of whom this person is, so I can find him as soon as possible!”“That is the problem! The person who took my child is not a boy, it's a girl. The new babysitter Emilia brought me.”“What? Emilia switched your babysitter?”“She did. The babysitter came in hours
***Melissa's POV***“Who the fuck are you and why the hell are you and why did you change your voice?”I screamed as I tightened my hold on her neck. “Please don't hurt me, ma'am, I have no idea what you're talking about.”“Melissa, are you sure she's the one?”“She's the one. I'm sure of it. But her voice is different. She doesn't sound this way. She must have done something to her voice, so I wouldn't recognize her.”“That's impossible. I would never do such a thing. My peers can bear me witness.* l looked in the direction of the others, who looked at me with a frightened expression. “Speak up, all of you. Did you see her tending to get mom, just like she said?” Arnold asked in a deep, commanding voice.Immediately, the three of them knelt on the ground. “Ciara is right. She was with her mom all through last night. If this is unavailable to you, you can ask the others in the coven.”This got me confused. What the hell is going on? Why does it seem like no one believes what I'm s
***Dark Coven***“Mother, the child is here. We will finally be able to lift the curse that has plagued us for generations. Isn't this wonderful?”“My goodness, what a beautiful child. Its blood is fresh and pure. I'm so sure the ritual will surely be effective with its blood.”“That's what I thought, too.”“But how did you do it, without being caught? Are you sure you're safe?”“But of course, mom. Though, I had to get rid of the babysitter who took care of the child and I cloned one of the girls in the coven. I'm sure by now, that girl would be put to death when she cannot provide for the child she stole.”“This is risky if you ask me. Let's mention the maid you killed. Did you use a natural means, or you used your powers?”“It will be such a bother to use natural means, and besides, she was too strong physically, and I would have gotten easily defeated. Her powers were strong as well, but good thing I have dark magic and with the dark magic, I was able to rob her of her life smooth
***Alpha Xavier's POV***“Your child is missing. I have seen it in my visions since three days ago.”That made me stagger backwards. “Wait a minute, I don't think I heard you correctly. What do you mean by my child has gone missing? “ How can he go missing just like that?“I'm sorry, this is hard for you to accept, but I can't lie to you about something like this, you know.”“I still don't get it. Why is my child missing? What happened to my child?” I demanded in rage. “Xavier, calm down. Your child is not dead yet. He's only missing. Presently, your Luna needs you most. Please hurry over to her side.”As soon as Alana said the last words, I bolted out of her room and headed straight to the witch's coven. “Alpha, where are you headed in such a hurry?”Drake asked as he saw me heading out of the pack house. I quickly turned around to face him. “Drake, you must take care of pack matters until my return. I need to attend to something pretty urgent.”“Why do you look panicked? Why don
