Marcellus stormed out as soon as she said that. He kept walking aimlessly until he got to a riverbed. It reminded him of the one he often visited in the pack. In a fit of rage, he picked up small rocks and threw them into the river. He continued for several minutes before letting out a loud yell. Wolves around shuddered at the sound of his growl. A man who had been watching him from a distance finally walked up to him. "Are you alright?" He asked but Marcellus didn't turn to see who it was.The man thought Marcellus hadn't heard him, so he asked again, "Are you alright, kid?" Once again, Marcellus didn't look at him. This time, the man walked forward and extended his hand to touch him but Marcellus slapped it away. "There's something called privacy and it's meant to be respected." He said in a cold tone while glaring at the man. "What a weird kid." The old man mumbled and walked away. From a glance, Marcellus could tell it was a human. "I think I know why Rebecca doesn't like
Thorny Heart PackShane was led in by two pack warriors who saw him outside the pack. He was brought in to his father and the warriors left, leaving the father and son to sort themselves out. "Shane, where have you been?" Shaw asked, remaining seated. Shane looked up at his father and avoided looking into his eyes, "I've been carrying out the task you gave me. But I had a memory lapse when the pack attacked Burning Heart Pack." The Alpha didn't believe him but he had no energy to start enquiring what his son was up to. "Thankfully, your memory lapse wasn't the end of you. You saved yourself." He said with a sigh. "On your way out, did you happen to see any survivors?" Shane didn't react immediately aware that his father was watching his every move keenly. "I didn't. All I could see were dead bodies. And since the pack was closer to the forest, I didn't bother looking around for any survivors, I just headed into the forest." He replied. "The forest?" Mumbled Shaw as a look of r
~Rebecca~ My first thought was to cover the writings on my arm but when I looked at it, I found out it was…gone. I found it mysterious but yet thankful that such had happened. "Mia, when did you get here?" M was the first to get a grip on his emotions, so he asked her first. I, on the other hand, tried to look unbothered. Mia walked towards us, "Long enough to hear you talk about Caddel." "Oh, I see." M said and scratched the back of his head while glancing at me. Just like me, his brain was empty. "Rebecca?" Mia called and I looked up to meet her eyes. "Mia, I was just about to come find you. It's good that you're here. And about Caddel, M and I decided to go down memory lane. It's nothing serious." I smiled. Mia stared into my eyes for several seconds before nodding, "Right. I have something you'd want to know." "I'll be taking my leave now. I'll give you a call once I get to Texas." M said and left quickly. I sighed and resisted the urge to slam my forehead lightly. "
EverMore Academy"Who are you looking for?" Gatlin repeated the same question while glancing at the trio's faces. The one who had sworn she had seen Keller and Cassie walk into the room assumed a serious expression. "Keller Stoll and Cassie Nikal walked in here just some minutes ago." She said and Gatlin raised a brow at her audacity. "So?" He asked. "I've not seen them walk out so I'm quite sure they are in there. We need to have a brief talk with them." The girl added and Gatlin resisted the urge to go back in and slam the door shut. His eyes fluctuated at the time which now showed fifty more seconds. "They are both inside but are not available to meet anyone at the moment." He said and took a step back. However, before he could shut the door, the second girl placed a foot at the foot of the door. "Whether it's convenient for them or not, we don't care. All we want to do is have a talk with them." Gatlin stared down at the foot holding the door. "Remove it." "Why should I
Days flew by and soon, it was the day of Ashley's release from the cabin. The witches acted nonchalant about it but the truth remained that they cared more about the murderer of their people. "Why don't you just do something about Ashley? Like kill her on her way here and tell the students she tried to escape then one of your men did something to her." Taylor who was in the Principal's office suggested with a straight face. "There are some things I can't do. Like the one you just mentioned." Heaven replied with a light scowl. Taylor groaned, showcasing her displeasure. "If I had the strength you had or the people you command, I would've long done it." Heaven finally couldn't keep it any longer, "Look, there are some things going on in this school that you do not know about. And I promise you that you wouldn't want to get involved with Ashley that much because these forces will come for you." Taylor shrugged it off and picked up an apple from a shelf. "I've heard you, Principal H
Rebecca stared at the excited Mia in confusion. "I have found the location of EverMore Academy." She repeated, the excitement dying from her face. "I heard you the first time.""Then why did you act confused?" "I was just a little surprised by the way you stormed in to announce it. Come on." Rebecca replied, pressing her forehead gently. Before she walked up the stairs, she spoke to the man, "Report to me when you've learn of more." Then she turned and headed up the stairs. Unlike other times where she would either go to her office, or the balcony, she walked into what looked like a basement. "I had no idea a room like this existed." Mia said as soon as she walked in. The paint of the room was of high quality and had remained vibrant thanks to the high quality of the paint used. "This was the room of Ashley months before she was born." Rebecca replied and walked a wooden table in the middle of the wide room."You said the same thing when we visited two of her houses some time
EverMore AcademyQuarter to midnight As they stood in the moonlight, gazing into each other's eyes, Taylor leaned in and brushed her lips gently against Chanel's.Chanel wrapped her arms around her neck, pulling her closer as their lips met in a passionate embrace.Taylor ran her hands through Chanel's hair, deepening the kiss as she moaned softly against her mouth.She could feel the heat radiating from her body. As they kissed, the world around them seemed to fade away. There were only the two of them, lost in the sensations of the moment. Taylor ran her hands down Chanel's back, pulling her closer as she wrapped her legs around her waist.They kissed for what felt like an eternity, their lips moving in perfect sync. When they finally broke apart, they were both breathless and dizzy with desire."I love you." Taylor whispered, gazing into Chanel's eyes."I love you too." Chanel replied, grinning up at her.The two pressed their heads together, the smiles on their faces radiating.
Ashley rubbed her forehead slightly but refused to turn around. "Keller, can you please drag her out of here?" "I am sorry but Cassie is actually right." Keller surprisingly said, "But I'll do just like you say and drag her out of here." Before Cassie could react, Keller mumbled a few words. "What did you do?" Cassie asked with a sigh. "It's called the mimic spell. You'll do exactly as I do." Keller replied with a smile. She had done it before to Cassie when she was still possessed and that memory returned to her as soon as she heard the name. Before she could complain, Keller's hands flew to her mouth and so did Cassie's hands. "Alright, I guess I'm screwed then." Cassie scoffed. Just when Ashley was about to sleep, she heard Charlotte calling Taylor. After several minutes of trying to wake her up, Taylor finally answered with a disgruntled voice. "What do you want?" "I should've asked you earlier but I forgot. Did the Principal reveal to you the new members of the team for
"Look at that. A perfect union of a mother and her daughter. And is that rage I see in your eyes? Beautiful!" Bardot exclaimed as he clapped his hands slowly. Ashley narrowed her eyes at Bardot's unfamiliar face. "I take it you're the stubborn sibling because I did see one of the Elshers on the floor with a dagger in his heart." "Don't worry, he'll be coming along with you and your mother. He's useless to me alive anyway." Bardot replied and raised the stake in his hand. But before he took a step forward, he felt the earth shake. He thought it was his imagination but the same thing happened again. He glanced behind him to see the people with him were equally shocked as well. Then he turned his attention to Ashley to see a group of people walking towards them in an organized manner. They wore casual clothes but that didn't hide the viciousness in their eyes as they stopped just behind Ashley and gazed at him. "Oh, I think I forgot to say something." Queenie sighed with a smile. P
Mia's Apartment, in the cellar Ashley watched Mia draw a big circle on the floor with a white chalk. As the woman drew it, Ashley felt a piercing gaze on her and glanced towards its direction only to see Iris. She sighed and folded her arms underneath her breasts. At this point, she had no doubt this girl would kill her if she was given a stake to drive into her heart. "Alright, Ashley." Mia said as soon as she was done. She straightened up and walked towards Ashley. "Just bleed some of your blood over there and go lie in the circle." Ashley walked over to the bowl Mia had pointed at and bit down on her palm. She repeated the process more than three times due to her quick healing. After a considerable amount had dripped into the bowl, she relented. She wiped her palm on her dress and walked into the circle. She laid down in it and closed her eyes. Soon, Mia took hold of Cassie and laid her right beside Ashley. "I need you to hold her hand. I need a connection between you two. A
"I don't know. I should be asking you." Drexa replied with a frown. She has risked her life coming here only to find out Taylor had no idea how to unlock the safe. "Do you have any idea what the safe was like when your parents were still alive?" Drexa asked but Taylor shook her head. "I was just a child. I think I was just 2. What would I remember?" Taylor asked rhetorically and Drexa frowned even harder. "Think Taylor. By coming to you I'm putting my life on the line. Cassidy will kill us both if she finds out this is what we discussed." Drexa paused and glanced towards the vampires she had killed outside the door. She turned back to Taylor to see the girl looking at her with a horrified expression. "I'm glad you get it. My siblings and I have already tried to kill Cassidy before and she surprisingly spares us but that means we'll be her slave for eternity. And other than that, she's going to continue wrecking havoc." "I know, I understand what you're trying to say. Without the
"Aunt Mia, what is she doing in your house?" Iris asked Mia, totally ignoring Ashley. Seeing this, Ashley smiled and relaxed on the chair. Then she looked between Iris and Mia. "This is Ashley Elsher, the daughter of Cassidy Elsher." Mia introduced them with a smile. Obviously, Iris hadn't recounted what Ashley had done to her in EverMore to Mia. "And I want you two to be good friends." Mia added. "No!" The two girls shouted at the same time. Ashley had only been nice to Iris because she was Mia's niece. Who said she cared about being friends with such a horrible person like Iris! "Don't worry, you'll get to love each other." Mia merely said with a light smile and directed his attention back to Cassie who was still unconscious. The name Ashley had mentioned came back and her smile faded. "Did you say Yoel?" She asked and Ashley nodded. When Ashley saw the look on Mia's face, she automatically knew the woman knew Yoel as well. "He's a jerk. He happily recounted to me all he had
Bardot opened his eyes to find himself in an unfamiliar room. The first thing he recalled was the sight of Drexa driving a stake into his heart. He quickly tried to get up but discovered he felt extremely weak in his arms. "I think you've been daggered and kept in a box for close to six months. Or is it more than that?" He heard a familiar voice say and slowly turned to affirm his suspicion. "Disappointed?" Cassidy asked upon seeing the horrified look on his face. Bardot quickly turned his face away from her. "I can't say I'm happy to see you until you've handed over the stake in your possession." He said weakly. "So you guys can finally kill me with it permanently? No, thank you." Seh retorted with a scoff. "It's either you get up in the next ten seconds, or you remain daggered in a box for the rest of your immortal life. If you're lucky, someone can stumble upon you and free you. If you're lucky." "What? Are you back to being the controlling freak that you really are?" He said
Damien watched over his people with a wide grin on his face. He noticed someone watching him and turned towards her direction. "If I didn't know better, I would've mistaken that look for admiration." He said, walking over to her. Claire, who had her hands folded across her chest, unfolded it and slipped them into her pocket. She watched the people as well without a word. "I've been thinking about your offer." She sighed, her shoulders slumping down in defeat. "I was born a beta, being a Luna isn't a future I imagined for myself." Damien smiled and placed both hands on her shoulder. She stiffened as his masculinity drove her crazy, courtesy of the mating effect. "You are sympathetic, you've been part of the crowd for way too long so you know the people best. In my opinion, you know the people more than I do. You'll be the perfect fit for Luna." He said. Claire said nothing but when the effect of the mating bond kept increasing, she pushed him away and stormed out of there. Damie
Texas "And where have you been?" Keller heard as soon as she got into the house. She slipped both hands into her pocket and turned to look at Liam with a frown. "I've been out with Zelena." She retorted and the man's cold eyes only became colder. He got up and grabbed her arms. "I've known Zelena longer than you ever will and I'm telling you that whatever you're feeling for her is just how she wants you to feel. You need to snap out of it." He said, his tone sounding more like an order. Keller wriggled her way out of his arm and glared at him fiercely. "Don't talk about feelings. You don't have one so I don't expect you to know how it feels to have it." She walked away from him but got blocked by Rebecca who appeared out of nowhere. "Keller, I'm sorry if we pushed you into this and it turned a little real. But the truth remains that Zelena has to die to guarantee Ashley's safety." Rebecca said with a small smile. "Are you sure this is about Ashley or you two are making it up to
Cassidy walked out of her room only to come face to face with Ashley who was about to enter hers. Ashley had totally forgotten her room was just opposite Cassidy's. "I haven't seen you in days. Where have you been?" Cassidy asked as she walked out of her room properly and closed the door. Ashley thought of ignoring her but decided against it. Yoel had told her a lot of things at the bar and she thought she could confirm it at most. "Tell me mother, how many fathers do I have?" Ashley asked. Her question took Cassidy by surprise. The woman first drew her lips into a thin line before sighing. "Mind if we go for a walk?" Ashley nodded and the mother and daughter walked out of the house. "How did you know about it?" Cassidy asked on their way. "You tell me what I want to know and I won't waste any time in telling you what you want to know." Ashley replied. The corners of Cassidy's lips curled into a smile. No one was authorized to bargain with her yet, this little one here said so
"Caddel?" Ashley repeated with a small frown. "Is it the Caddel I know or I'm I missing something?" "Yep. It's the Caddel you know. The teenage looking guy who came up to you a few weeks ago claiming he wants to be friends with you." Yoel affirmed. Ashley was in a little bit of a shock as she slowly connected the dots together in her mind. He had been so convincing when he told her he wanted to be her friend. Despite her harsh words to him, he persevered. So that's why. "If Caddel is your brother and he is my father. Then that makes you my uncle. But at the same time, I don't believe you because the theory about having two fathers is something that has never been heard of in the history of supernaturals or even humans." Ashley refuted, part of her clinging onto that. She refused to believe she really had two fathers. "Look at you looking so sullen and in self-denial. I bet it must be a very bad feeling." Yoel laughed coldly and leaned towards her, "Also, Cassidy is just a few witc
