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
Chapter 113.*.*Cora can't believe what she has always wanted was being handed to her on a platter of gold, and she didn't want to act all super excited, so she decided to play along."But... How are we going to do that?" She asked as if Cole had not given her the tip he got from Hazel."To destroy the deal, we need the blood of all those that signed it." She said.Cora sighed and folded her arms across her chest and began pacing up and down the place.Hazel was tired of holding the basket, so she just dropped it on the ground."Not that your sisters are going to hand over their blood in a platter of gold to us" Cole mumbled."How are we going to get their blood?" He added."Leave that to me, Creed" she said, touching his hand that was placed on her shoulder."When I get their blood, I will inform you and I would need yours too" she continued, looking at Cora who nodded at her."All right. So we have a plan now" Cole said."I would suggest you both are not seen together. Or better st
Chapter 114.*.*It was a bright sunny day and Hazel was thinking of how she was going to carry out the plan she had with Cora the previous day.The servants walked past her as she strolled down the foyer, heading for her lab. Last night, she had walked out of the lab, looking for Kira so she could warm her after what she read from the scroll, but Kira was nowhere to be found.She paused on her way when she sighted Kira, walking out from another hallway, holding a basket filled with clothes for laundry.Hazel draw in a great deal of air into her nostrils and heaved. She started walking toward Kira in haste but stopped dead in her track when she saw Max walking behind her back without her knowledge."Hmm" she mumbled under her breath and dashed out of sight, staring at what was going to happen to see if Max would attack her just like the bunny had done to her.She watched as Max walked up to Kira eventually and covered her eyes with one of his palms, making her stop. Kira smiled and mu
Chapter 115.*.*Hazel gazed at the door as if she could still see Kira in the room. She twitched her lips and sighed, then looked down at the table she was resting her hands."I have warned her." She mumbled under her breath."Anything that happens to her is on her and not on me" she shrugged and turned to look at the bunnies as her gaze rested on the one she had fed the love potion. She was too scared to pick it up because she didn't know what it would do to her next time.She waved off the thought and concentrated on the task she has ahead of her, which was to destroy the scroll.She knew getting Nora's blood would be a lot easy. But the issue was Azura and if she was not careful enough, Azura was going to suspect something is wrong."I'll have to deal with her first" she breathed down and walked to the cage. She released the latch and carefully picked one of the bunnies she did not feed with the love potion, she was careful enough not to get close to the one that had bitten her as
Chapter 116.*.*Max walked toward his room, and down the hallway as his head spun. He didn't understand the headache he felt. But he suspected all he needed was a little drop of wine and a good rest and he would be okay.He was almost in his room when he sighted Cole and Cohen walking down the hallway. He paused and observed as Cole walked from afar and he grinned. He was sure his ankle was better because he was now walking properly.Max suddenly forget about the pain he was feeling in his head and began walking toward Cole and Cohen, they were midway to the hallway before they noticed he was walking in their direction.They stopped a few inches apart from each other as he bowed before Cole, paying his respect and Cole acknowledged him."I haven't seen Lucas around lately" he said, looking from Cole to Cohen."Yes. He is busy with the incoming full moon" Cole responded, wondering why Max was suddenly interested in Lucas.They watched as Max scratched his hair savagely. Cole exchanged
Chapter 117.*.*Hazel pretended not to have noticed what had happened and just stared at her to see what she would do.She watched Nora crease her brows as blood streamed down her dumb. Sighing deeply and looking at the needle which she had tossed aside on her lap, she was about to put her thumb in her mouth to suck it when Hazel sprang up."Nora no!!" Nora looked at her and frowned the more while Hazel watched as the drops of blood dropped on the floor, then she swallowed hard."What?" Nora questioned, still staring at her with creased brows."Don't tell me you wanted to suck on your bloody thumb!"."That's what I always do when I prick a finger. Stop being overly dramatic" Nora rolled her eyes."Well, I can tell you that it is really wrong and you should stop that. Believe me or not, I will not allow you to do that to yourself!" Hazel barked, being serious and Nora scoffed."What is wrong with you, Hazel?" She looked at the thumb and saw it has stopped bleeding and the blood at th
EPILOGUECORA CREED BOSTONNEXT DAYIt was a lovely morning that Cole and I decided to visit Hazel's gravestone in the black woods with flowers even if we knew we might face some opposition from the coven.The council had said they would give me and Cole feedback about their decision by noon and by that time, I believe we would be back.I still don't understand why Cole is so optimistic about the outcome of the council meeting, but I just wish I could be as positive as him because our offense was just too much.I've deceived the Pack for months and made a deal with the witches that also threatened the existence of the Pack. And in as much as what I did was for the greater good, it still points me to be a traitor and an enemy of the Pack.Still, I don't understand why Lucas had suggested we take some guards with us, but I had told them we were fine on our own and right now, I and Cole are on our way to the black woods without saying much to each other.Surprisingly, I could still remem
Chapter 151.*.*It's been two days since Cora and Cole returned to the wolfdom, but Cora still wouldn't come out of her chamber or even eat, and it was getting Cole really worried.Cole walked down the hallway, heading toward Cora's room that morning. He was determined to break down the door and make her come out if that was what he needed to do to get her outHe hadn't moved far when he saw Max walking in the opposite direction, he stopped when he saw Max walking toward him."Hey" Max said to him to his astonishment."Hi" he responded with a nod. The atmosphere became awkward as they continued to look at each other without speaking then Cole decided to speak."I know it's an eyesore for you to see me hanging around. It's just a matter of time before I'll be out of here and you would be__""Shut up, silly" Max stopped him from speaking as he creased his brows."I know I haven't been a nice person, Cole. And I feel so guilty for the death of my brother, Creed" he lowered his head.Co
Chapter 150.*.*Boston sighed and took in a deep breath and by this time, tears were all over Cora's face."That was how I found out the figure that had visited me was the moon goddess herself" he went on to explain."What about the pregnancy, what did you both do about it?" Cole asked."Nala told me the moon goddess has already told Alpha Rex about the pregnancy and he was to keep shut about it. But Nala was scared she might give birth to a human baby" Cora blinked her eyes when she heard that as she was in the same shoes. But she didn't allow the men to see the look of uneasiness on her face."But the moon goddess was ready for anything" Boston continued."No one was to know the pregnancy does not belong to Alpha Rex and it was a secret between me, Alpha Rex, Nala, and the moon goddess" "And the moon goddess didn't wipe off my memory about the wolfdom because she was prepared for anything. She wanted the baby to be returned to me if it turns out to be human. And the Pack was to b
Chapter 149*.*The trio finished having breakfast and lunch in the sitting room. Cole was clearing the table right now while Boston was wiping his mouth with a tablecloth."The food is satisfying, even if it isn't__""What? Delicious?" Cole asked and Boston grinned."I didn't say that, you did" he replied and Cora couldn't help laughing.When the table was cleared, they sat around the table and waited for Boston to finish picking his teeth so he could continue the story. And when he eventually stopped, he took in a long deep breath and rested his back on the chair, then continued the narrative."Sorry... Being old is something tough. When you get to my age, you would understand what I am talking about" he chuckled."If you are going to ask where you left off in the story, then it's where you said the moon goddess visited you" Cole said, resting his elbows on the table."Thank you, Cole" he returned."Do you mean you saw the moon goddess? I don't think anyone has ever seen her" Cora h
Chapter 148.*.*Boston shrugged and turned to face elsewhere while Cora and Cole remained speechless for a while."Okay... I would have felt the same way she felt" Cora nodded her head repeatedly."Why didn't you tell her what you were?" Cole questioned his father."I didn't know I would fall in love with her that deeply!" "The plan was not to fall in love. It was to stay with her until she finish taking care of my injured leg while feeding me so I wouldn't die of starvation" he stopped to catch his breath."But you know the heart, it does stupid things even if you try to tame it" he finished with a bleak expression on his face.He was about to open his mouth and speak again when his stomach grumbled for food, making Cora and Cole's stomachs grumble too."I guess I have been talking for way too long" he breathed out."I'll make hazelnut soup and potatoes" Cole stood up."I'll help you out" Cora slowly stood up too.Cole handed the locket pendant to his father who took it from his gr
Chapter 147*.*"Wait... Hold on a second" Cole interrupted him as they turned to look at him."How were you able to have sex with her with the necklace around your neck? Didn't it by any chance...""Burn her?" Boston completed the sentence for him and he nodded, recalling how he had had to toss the necklace away when he was about to have sex with Cora at the fortress."Well, Cole" he began."I never take off my clothes anytime we are doing it" he shrugged."Funny""Why? You were scared of the necklace touching her or her finding out?" Cora asked this time."Not really. I was scared of her seeing my tattoo of the armory and making her ask questions I couldn't explain" he said."That would have been awkward. Didn't she ask questions?" Cole asked."She did"FLASHBACKBoston and Nala were on the bed, kissing, smooching, and in a heated romance while she unlocked their lips and peered deeply into his eyes."What is it?" He asked when she had looked at him far too long."I don't know... Bu
Chapter 146.*.*She continued to yell at him while he stared at her frightened."This is my place and whatever I say, stands! I don't care to know if you are some sort of runaway alpha, beta, gamma, delta, omega, or even rogue! You just have to listen to me!" "I could have left you there to die with that injury on your leg but I didn't. I saved you and brought you in here, but you don't trust me?" She rolled her eyes and gave a hysterical laugh while he didn't understand what was wrong with her that was getting her suddenly heated up."I should be scared of you and take precautions because I do not know if you were some sort of assassin or not! But I wasn't! I saw you needed help and helped you, but what did you do in return?!" She frowned."You're ignoring my questions as if I am some sort of dangerous wolf when I am nothing but a harmless sweet girl!" Her eyes glowed instantly and he felt he saw his life, flashing before his eyes.He saw furs growing on her skin while her fangs sp
Chapter 145.*.*She kept an awkward look on her face as she looked down at the man laying flat, face up in the hole."Hello?" She called but was greeted by silence."Can you hear me? Are you okay down there?" She called again but he was too weak to speak.All he wanted to do was ask her to go get help or anything. It would be better if she could find her way to the cottage and get the guys. But he was too weak to speak, so he just lay there, looking up and feeling dizzy with the sun dancing on his skin and tormenting his eyes."Hold on!! I am coming down to get you!" She said and stood erect, then she looked down carefully and figured where she was going to land, and to his dismay, she jumped right into the hole close to him, on her back."Ohh!" She grunted and remained that way while she waited for the pain to subside."Stupid girl! You should have gone to get help instead of jumping in! Who's gonna help us now" he said in his head as his visions began to get blurry and his hearing
Chapter 144.*.*The story kept on developing and becoming more captivating that Cora was gradually getting the answers to why most of the things happened which she had no explanation for."Before Anastasia left, she told Ethan they would find a way to stall the wolves so they wouldn't have to attack when we weren't ready" "Ethan related to us all she had discussed with her and how she would be our greatest ally if things go according to plan" Boston grinned."Did she come through?" Cora asked."She did" "After three days, she returned to the cottage at night with something she called 'Wolfsbane' that she was not sure if it would work but we could give it a trial" Boston mumbled."To build our trust for her. She asked us not to give her our secret weapon until we have tasted and made sure the wolfsbane does work" he exhaled sharply."And what happened when you tasted the wolfsbane?" Cole asked."It worked, but it wears off after a while."FLASHBACKEthan and Anastasia stood right ou
