"What is it, Adrian? What's going on?" Camille asked as soon as she walked into Ryan's bedroom. She already retired to her room to take a break and rest a little until suddenly a servant from Ryan's quarters came to her quarters to call for her to inform her that Adrian needed her help and that he needed her help as soon as possible. Adrian did not say anything and instead, he just pointed towards Ryan's bed where Ryan was laying down with his eyes closed as he was completely unconscious. "What exactly is going on with him? Why is he sleeping instead of preparing himself to meet with Amelia?" Camille asked, wondering what could be going on with him. "When I got back to the office earlier, I realise that he didn't look too well and he was also sweating very much so I asked the servants to get him something to eat and guessed that he was only that way because he hadn't gotten enough rest and he also hadn't eaten anything quite a long time and when I went out to get the food for him,
"Are you ready Amelia?" Adrian asked. "Do I look like I'm ready?" Amelia responded and Adrian chuckled. "I actually think you look just fine and I'm sure you're going to do just fine. Just remember that no matter what, you shouldn't lose your confidence and your authority. You're Luna and you have to make them know this," Adrian reminded and Amelia nodded her head in understanding. "Thanks a lot Adrian. Thank you for absolutely everything and I mean it," Amelia said to him, genuinely grateful to him for everything he had done for her so far. She knew very much that if it hadn't been for Adrian, she wouldn't have been able to get herself together all this while and she really wouldn't be here today doing this. She was most definitely grateful to him for always having her back and for always supporting her despite her sometimes very irrational decisions and her childish behaviour."You really don't have to thank me for anything because I'm only doing what I think is right and at the
Camille already tried to heal Ryan by doing her usual healing magic on him but for whatever reason, Ryan still wasn't responding to her at all. She could feel that his energy was still very much strong and she could also feel like he was still breathing and was still alive but she could not understand what exactly was keeping him unconscious. She already tried everything that she could think of doing by casting a few spells that were not too strong to draw attention to the room and get her into any trouble but none of them were working out and at this point, she had no idea what else to do. She could feel some kind of negative energy emitting from Ryan and she wanted to know what it was. For some crazy reason, it almost felt as though that whatever was going on with him now had something to do with his condition and that this energy she was feeling from him was something that she suspected also had to do with his condition. "Escrie malio prue nebrem sati," she muttered under her b
Adrian could already tell that most of the people that were willing to ask him questions were planted by the council members because of the questions that they all seemed to want to ask him and he definitely had no interest in giving them an answer to their silly questions so he made sure to keep his responses very short and simple. "I understand that you want to meet with the Alpha which is very reasonable and very understandable but, this isn't the first time that you are asking for him and just like every other time that you've asked for him, I'll have to let you know that he is not available to be sane but I can assure you that is very much fine and he alive and well," he responded to the man who had asked him about Ryan. "Pardon me for asking this Beta Adrian but, are you actually trying to pretend like you do not understand the question that I asked or do you really not understand what I actually asked you? I didn't mention anything about wanting to see the Alpha because I'm a
The murmuring in the hall died down as soon as people noticed Amelia climbing up to the podium. They all had curious looks on their faces as they wondered who she was and why Adrian had mentioned that she was important. As for Amelia, she already made up my mind to do the best that she could and she pushed back every feeling of fear and every feeling of nervousness that almost stopped her from going up the podium and almost made her change her mind. She ready notice that the people were going to try and get to her judging by the questions that they asked Adrian and as far as she was concerned, there was no point being scared and being a coward so she was ready to face whatever it was that was going to happen. When she stepped up to the podium she stared into the crowd and noticed a hand waving towards her and when she looked at the person or rather at the people that were waving at her, she realised that it was Isabel and her mother alongside Isabel's mother, Ana. She was more tha
"I'm going to be honest with you and I'm going to tell you straight to your faces that I'm not exactly one hundred percent sure what I can do for you and what it is that I can actually bring to the table that would make a difference but, I do intend to do things the right way. As Luna, I believe that my duty is to make sure that I carry my people along and to make sure that I am easily accessible for people to open up about their complaints to me and see me like a mother of the pack," "I'm aware that my age is horrible going to make most of you here doubt me and not seeing me as someone that can actually live up to the expectations of the position but, I'm also going to prove you are wrong in that aspect because just because I'm much younger than you were expected and just because I'm not exactly the most experienced person does not mean that I won't be able to lead the Pack. The reason why it has taken me so much time before introducing myself to you is because I wanted to be famili
"Good job Amelia," Adrian said to Amelia as soon as she walked down from the podium and toward him. He raised his hand for a high five and Amelia did the same, hitting his hand with a proud smile on her face. "Thank you so much Adrian. You have no idea how nervous I was but thankfully all of this is over after weeks of thinking about it and you know what is left to do is just step up as you know and also, do what needs to be done for the you know what situation," Amelia responded and Adrian nodded in agreement. "I'm actually quite relieved on your behalf that you're finally done with the introduction that you've been planning and pondering about for weeks now. I actually wanted to mention something about the situation that you spoke about and I remember that we are supposed to meet someone immediately after you finish with the introduction," he said in other to remind Amelia of it. He still remember very clearly that the moon spirit had mentioned something about the spiritual mo
"So what do you people think of her? Is she good? Do you think she has potential?" Fabio asked, as the rest of the council members ponder over his question. They decided to have a meeting after the watched Amelia's interaction with the people earlier as they were trying to make up their minds on whether Amelia was worth supporting or if they had to find another candidate to do their bidding. "From what I see, she's very much capable of being a good leader but the problem is that she's going to be very difficult to control and even if we choose to support her, we're not going to have any power over her or her decisions," Benjamin spoke up first. The rest of the council members agreed with them because they all had a similar thought in mind and they could also tell that Amelia would not be very easy to control and that if they chose to support her, it wouldn't exactly be beneficial for them. "I have to admit that I like the girl and I can't exactly explain why I like her but she
A Month Later It's been a little over a month now since Camille used the spell to get Rakani out of Ryan's body. Amelia was relieved that everything went well and that nothing happened to Camille but Ryan had still not recovered and he was still unconscious. Camille had explained to her that the reason why Ryan was still unconscious was that his energy had been drained from trying to always dominate the spirit that was in him and if she hadn't sent Rakani out of his body much quicker, I would have most likely lost his life. She had told Amelia to be patient and Amelia was trying very hard to remain patient and positive but she was getting really worried now since a month has passed and Ryan was still in the same condition. Leandro had been the one taking care of him but even Leandro said the same thing that Camille said and Amelia had no other choice but to believe in their words and hope for the best. "I completely understand that you're worried right now Amelia but I don't
Camille sighed. After over an hour of trying to perfect it, she had finally come up with the perfect spell that would kick Rakani out of Ryan's body but won't release him from Alisa's spell. After Amelia and Adrian explained things to her, Camille finally understood everything and when she was told again that she was Alisa's descendant, she realised that she had the power to release Rakani and that was why he had made no attempt to hurt her earlier. "Did you check? Is he awake?" she asked Adrian. "No, not yet," Adrian answered and Camille sighed. "Good then. We don't have that much time and we need to move now before he wakes up. All I need you to do is make sure that I'm not interrupted because getting Rakani out won't be easy at all and any little interruption can disrupt the spell and cause trouble. Just keep watch and make sure no soul passes by. Is that understood?" Camille instructed and all three of them nod their head in understanding.Amelia waited outside patiently for C
"I'm trying very hard not to jump to any conclusions right now but you just mentioned something about using a spell on Adrian and I just want to confirm if what I heard is true or if my imaginations are just playing games with me," Amelia said as calmly as she could. She was very sure that she didn't hear things but she wanted to confirm from Camille herself because what she had heard just didn't make any sense at all. "You didn't hear wrongly Amelia and yes, I used a spell on Adrian to get him out of the room," Camille replied and Amelia's jaw dropped. "Hold on a second, are you trying to tell me that the witch that we've been looking for all this while has been you?" Isabel asked, wanting to confirm for herself. She was feeling very confused right now because it made no sense to her that Camille was the witch that they were after but at the same time, it didn't seem to be a completely ridiculous outcome. She would have never thought that Camille was a witch but she also didn't t
"So now that someone amongst us has gotten hurt, doesn't this mean that the witch is going to have to show herself sooner or later?" Isabel asked, directing her question at both Adrian and Amelia who just regained consciousness. "Well, that is what we expect to happen but we can only wait and hope to see how all of this is going to play out. I believe that the witch is going to show up sooner than we think because even when it seemed like things were going downwards for us, Ryan or should I say, Rakani miraculously woke up and did what he did to Amelia and that could only mean that the witch is going to show herself soon," Adrian responded and Isabel sighed. "I honestly can't wait for her to show up and for us to get this over with because all of this is just sickening at this point," Isabel hissed in frustration. "Are you okay, Amelia? Do you feel better now?" Isabel asked and Amelia groaned in pain. She wasn't feeling okay at all and her head felt like it was going to split open
"What did you just say?" Camille asked as she wanted to confirm whether or not she had heard wrong. "I really don't think I said anything that too difficult to understand, little witch. I'm offering you your friend's life and in exchange, you going to break the spell and set me free from this body," Rakani responded. Camille chuckled. The fact that Rakani was asking her to break the spell made her realise that he was definitely not as strong as he was trying to make her think and that there was a possibility that the spell could work on him and that she would be able to knock him out until she's able to come up with a way to get Ryan out of him. "I don't know how you think witchcraft works but just because I'm a witch doesn't necessarily mean that I can break every spell out there. Whoever is behind the spell that you're under is a very powerful person and I doubt a little witch like me can do anything to help you break out of the spell. You're bound to that spell forever and only
Camille heard a strange noise from Ryan's room on her way there and she quickly ran in to see what could have caused the noise. As soon as she walked in, the first thing that she noticed was that Ryan was already on his feet and when her eyes went to the other end of the room, she saw Isabel and Adrian beside Amelia and she immediately noticed that Amelia was unconscious. "What exactly is going on here?" she questioned and when Ryan turned to face her, she noticed that his eyes were red and that was when it dawned on her that the person in front of her wasn't Ryan but the evil spirit that she had met in Ryan's head earlier. "Adrian, Isabel, I need you both to get out of here right now and take Amelia with you," she demanded and Adrian frowned. He couldn't understand why Camille would be asking them to leave especially when she could also be in danger if she remained here. "I'd prefer it if you took Isabel and Amelia with you instead and I'll stay here to try to calm Ryan down and
"So what are we going to do now?" Isabel asked, breaking the silence in the room. "I don't know. There isn't much that we can do besides just wait and see how all of this is going to turn out. To be honest with you, I can't think of anything else at the moment and I just feel like we need to exercise patience and allow fate to play things out," Adrian responded and Isabel scoffed I'm disbelief. She was already finding the entire situation ridiculous at this point because she just couldn't understand why things just weren't going their way. They had waited for the spiritual mother to come around and when she finally did, she instructed them that somebody would have to get hurt for the witch to show herself and they already made up their minds that somebody was going to get hurt and that the person would get hurt in Ryan's hands and now, all of a sudden, the person that was supposed to hurt one of them was suddenly unconscious and they couldn't even come up with anything else to do b
"I got caught Leandro and that's why I couldn't stay with you. Before we met, there was a town I usually go to whenever I needed to get away from my uncle and the stress of having to train myself to become a third in command. The town is mostly occupied by humans and I considered it as my safe space away from my life as a werewolf but during one of my visits to that town, I met an elderly man and he turned out to be a werewolf just like me. As you know, I don't usually trust people easily but since he seemed harmless, I became friendly with him and he and I grew closer during my stay in town," "Long story short, I was foolish to have trusted him. He got into trouble with rogues and I tried to help him but in the process, I exposed my abilities and he saw me. I told him to keep it a secret and pretend like he never saw anything and I expected him to do just that but that was until I found out that he was the Alpha of the Dark moon pack. He started to blackmail me by threatening to exp
"If you want me to talk to you, then you and I have to go to a more private space because anyone could walk past this place and overhear our conversation," Camille said to Leandro and he nodded his head in agreement because he knew that it was risky to stay in such an open space and talk about such a delicate topic. Leandro had a lot to say to Camille because of what had happened between them over the years and also because of what happened the last time he had seen her. After finding out from Camille that she was a witch, he honestly didn't know what to think at first because it all just sounded crazy to him and when she told him that the poison Jarred had in his system was something that she had made herself, he was completely furious and without thinking twice about it, he threw Camille out of his house and told her to never come back. Camille and Leandro headed towards Adrian's office which was the closest and safest place they could talk without worrying about someone overheari
