Chapter 105.*.*Owen was in the lab, observing the potion he was making as he stood over the big counter, mixing some recipes over a burning oven that was boiling in a crucible.This was the second time he was trying out this potion, but it seems there was always a missing piece of ingredient.Looking as the potion changed color to red to render it a failed experiment, he frowned and felt anger boil in him and all he could think of was a throw it away from the heat.He grunted and his fangs and claws came out, he took off the gloves he was wearing when he saw his fangs had penetrated the tips of the gloves.However, he stopped abruptly while holding the gloves when he sensed a strange present. He sniffed the air and noted it was not a wolf, but something else rather."Who is there?" He questioned, looking around and his wolf alert already."Oh, please pardon me" He heard a shrill tiny voice while he waited for whoever it was to show her face.Hazel walked in his direction with a bask
Chapter 106.*.*Both ladies stared at each other for a while and with the hateful look Cora gave her, she was sure she and Cora wouldn't have a good time."Shall I have a word with you?" Cora finally breaks the silence.Hazel said nothing and just stared at her, then she sighed and nodded after sucking in a great deal of air into her nostrils."Sure" she let out as Cora kept her face deadpan."Shall we walk outside the fortress?" Hazel hesitated again and looked Cora over, furrowing her brows."I'll be brief and just go straight to the point" Cora added."Sure. Of course" Hazel finally nodded.Cora said nothing more and began walking down the hallway while Hazel followed, trying to meet up with her pace.They walked down the hallway without saying anything to each other. Hazel was astounded at how powerful Cora seemed because of the way the servants were bowing to her.She has always thought of Cora as a desperate fragile luna when she first came to the Black Woods. But seeing her h
Chapter 107.*.*Cole managed to stroll out of Owen's and his dislocated ankle had been fixed, although he had a little difficulty in walking, he managed.The memory of last night was still fresh in his memory and he slightly grunted when he recalled the dreadful incident.He dragged his feet while walking and he hoped he wouldn't have to go far before he see Lucas. The full moon was fast approaching and they needed to have a meeting and send the messengers to disburse the message about the wolf's hunting.He had not walked too far when someone called out to him at his back. He stopped and had a little bit of difficulty turning his back to see who it was.His gaze rested on Hazel whose face was teary and she looked like she was going to choke down in tears. At first, he was alarmed, wondering what was wrong as she began walking up to him.He stood and waited, even if his ankle still hurt a little. She finally got to where he was and fell flat to the ground, sobbing while he furrowed
Chapter 108.*.*Max had finally walked away while Cole remained standing, thinking if he should really have the duel with Max.He knew he was a deadbeat compared to Max and wished he could back out. But for all he knew, Creed never backs out in a fight and he has to live up to that expectation.He finally leaped to Cora's door, knocked once on it, and turned the handle and the door opened.He pushed open the door and stepped in and his eyes rested on Cora who stood in the middle of the room, her gaze fixed on the door. She sighed when she saw it was just him and resumed pacing up and down the room while he locked the door after him.He saw she was restless and worried, but he asked no questions and just leaped into the room. He quickly walked to a nearby stool and sat down."What's wrong with your leg?" She questioned. This was actually the first time today that she was setting her eyes on him. She thought he must be busy with the full moon preparation with Lucas."It's nothing" he s
Chapter 109.*.*The stench of the room was that of dust and old books. The aroma of different concoctions being mixed filled the air with different colors of smoke filling the room.There was a big shelve placed on the wall that contained diverse herbs and portions in a mini bottle. The bunnies walk around in the cage while Hazel was busy with the potion she was making in her lab. She had mixed the whole necessary ingredients and it was left with just a single herb which she had asked one of the servants to get for her.She looked up from the potion she was mixing when she heard footsteps approaching the room. She was expecting to see the servant that was sent to bring the last ingredient, but when she saw Owen, her expectation was cut short."Oh, hi Owen" she said and returned her gaze to what she was mixing and heating."I take it I was not the one you were expecting?" He smiled and rested his back on the door frame. She chuckled and shrugged, while he watched what she was doing.
Chapter 110.*.*"Not really" he spoke after a brief silence."There's this deal I signed with someone" he began."Where? In the human world?" "No. Right here" She stopped what she was doing and looked at him and he only nodded at her. She stood erect and paid attention to what he was saying."All right. Go on""So... I signed this deal with someone and he has gone against our initial agreement. I have tried to destroy the deal, but there is nothing I could do. It refuses to get destroyed" he explained as she furrowed her brows, thinking."I don't really know who you sign this deal with." She stopped and looked at him intently."But what I know about the witches. If you sign a deal with your blood, you can only destroy it with the blood of the people that signed it with their blood" she explained.He had prepared himself not to act too shocked so he wouldn't have to alarm her or make her get suspicious of him."Hmm... So this is the only way that the scroll could be destroyed? Cora
Chapter 111.*.*Azura took a step backward while Hazel walked and took a few steps in her direction."You dare call yourself my superior, Azura? Is that what you have always wanted?" Hazel was astounded."I have always known you were selfish, Azura. But I never thought that your thirst for power would drive you to this extent!""Watch your tongue, Hazel! Don't make me do what I would regret doing" Azura barked at her."There is nothing you could do, Azura! Don't think you are so stronger than me. While you are busy with your newly found family, I was busy getting better at my craft" She yelled.Azura used her right palm to cover her mouth in shock. Wondering what has gotten over her sister. She came out of the shock and got a hold of herself, then she gave her sister a stern look."Look, Hazel...""I don't care if you are better than me or not. But what I do know is, you have to stay away from that human""And why should I?""Getting close to him would ruin our plan" Azura said with
Chapter 112.*.*Kira walked up to the table and stood opposite Hazel who was deep in thought. The only thing that was demarcating the both of them was the large table."Are you okay?" Kira asked and Hazel sighed."Yeah" she said sadly and looked at the door Cora had stood as if she was still standing there."So, is the potion ready?" Kira asked agitated as Hazel smiled."Almost" she said and took out the strand of hair Kira had given her the previous day and dumped it into the potion.They both watched as it foamed while she continued to stir it. She brought it down from the heat and looked up at Kira."Did you come with the bottle?""Yes, I did" Kira said rushing her words.She started fidgeting with her garment until she brought out the tiny bottle that was hidden in her garment which she handed over to Hazel.Hazel took it from her grip and scooped a spoonful into the tiny bottle until it was almost filled to the brim.She finished and cocked it while Kira looked at it with keen i
