"The fact that you two still don't share a room and barely spend any time together doesn't sit well with me Amelia. How do you two even cope?" Isabel asked, letting out the question that had been bothering her all this while.
She had been observing Ryan and Amelia in the last few days and she had come to realise that they could barely call their relationship a relationship. She tried not to butt in since it really wasn't any of her business but she just didn't feel too comfortable with the fact that they were literally not doing anything to work on their relationship and that everything was slowly starting to feel like a waste of time.
"I don't get the confusion Isabel. What exactly is so wrong with not sharing a room? He and I are only just getting to know each other for the time being and sharing a room at this early st
"Do you have any idea why the council would want to see you?" Isabel asked."Can't you tell already? I'm as confused as you are right now. I've never been asked to the meeting room so abruptly before," Amelia replied and Isabel sighed."Do you think Ryan would be there? I don't think they would just call you without Ryan's permission or something," Isabel said and Amelia ran her fingers through her hair tiredly as she thought of all the possible scenarios that could go down in the meeting room."Knowing how cunning these men are, I wouldn't put it past them to invite me there without Ryan's knowledge and also, if I'm gonna play the role of the Luna, I need to start getting used to situations like this. I can't always have Ryan defending and shielding
There was a deafening silence in the room and Amelia hated it very much.She has never been the type to like being in uncomfortable spaces and this had to be the most uncomfortable she had ever been in her entire life. The look on everyone's face was almost as if they were all judging her mentally and they seemed to be waiting for her to say something very wrong for their sheer amusement.The only people that had normal expressions on their faces were Lady Camille, Lord Fritz and Lord Lionel and when she says they had normal expressions on their faces, she means that they didn't look like they were about to devour her but that didn't mean they didn't look scary as well."Can somebody tell me what exactly we're all doing here? What is the real re
"Do you have any idea what you just did Lady Amelia? Do you even know the gravity of the words you just said in there?" Camille questioned an already confused Amelia.Camille had followed behind Amelia as soon as Amelia had dismissed the meeting and left the room. She couldn't understand how Amelia could be so foolish enough to fall into her uncle and his cohort's traps especially when it was so obvious that they were setting her up for failure."You need to be much clearer with me Lady Camille cause I have no idea what exactly you're talking about," Amelia said, genuinely confused as to why Camille sounded so upset with her."You have no idea what I'm talking about? Really kid? Listen Amelia, I tried very hard, very hard to make sure that you don't fall in
"You did what?" Adrian asked, with his eyes growing ten times wider than usual."I a... agreed to be a part of the blood moon festival as requested of me by Lord Nigel and the council members," Amelia replied nervously, hating the fact that they were all making her feel foolish for agreeing to be a part of it. First it was Lady Camille, then Lord Lionel and Lord Fritz and now Adrian was also wearing that look on his face that was only making her feel much worse than she already felt.She had come to realise that she probably made the worst mistake of her life by going into the meeting room in the first place and then, her second mistake was agreeing to what the council had asked her to do without confirming the consequences first and speaking to either Ryan or Adrian about it.
"What exactly do you mean by that Adrian? Why in the world would I be stoned to death? Lord Fritz did mention that I might have to kill someone but he didn't mention that I'll be stoned to death," Amelia said, wondering what exactly any of this even meant.First, she was told that she would have to kill someone in order to complete the ritual and now she was being told that she is probably going to get stoned to death if she participates in the ritual and after hearing all of this, she still did not quite understand why in the world both options were even an option in the first place."I understand what's going through your head Amelia but let me be much more clear. Lord Fritz wasn't wrong when he said you might have to kill someone but that rarely ever happens. Remember that I mentioned that children born on the da
"Stop following me around Camille, you're making me uncomfortable," Nigel hissed in frustration but Camille being the adamant person that she was, was determined to frustrate her uncle and get on his nerves today. "I'll only stop following you if you admit to me that you and the rest of the council are nothing but shameless old men who should be embarrassed by the fact that they are trying to deceive a young girl and make her into their scapegoat. I know you're a despicable person uncle but how could you people do that to a child? What were you even thinking uncle?" she reprimanded and Nigel frowned. "I don't understand what you mean by what you just said Camille. What exactly did I do wrong or what exactly did we do wrong by asking that our Luna or rather our soon-to-be Luna tp represent us at the festival that
Isabel watched as Amelia paced back and forth and at this point, she knew that she was going to pass out if she kept watching her move to and fro with her hands raking her hair and making a mess of it. She still did not understand very clearly what exactly was going on with Amelia since she had not properly explained to her and cleared up her confusion. She just knew that whatever was happening was something that was probably very serious judging by how worried Amelia looked."I don't mean to interrupt your thinking or anything like that sweetie but if you keep moving this much in front of me I'm going to end up puking because I feel so dizzy and irritated right now," Isabel said he was no longer able to hide the fact that she was getting uncomfortable with the pacing."I'm so sorry about that Isabel but at this mom
"Are we very sure that we're not digging our own graves thinking we're digging someone else's?" Benjamin wondered out loud to Ethan, who was the member he was closest with."We can never know for sure whose grave we're digging Benjamin and that is why we have to make sure that we do everything possible to make certain that our grave isn't what we are digging and that our objective ends up as a success. As scary and as risky as it is, if we really want to have our way, we need to be prepared for the absolute worst," Ethan responded calmly as himself and Benjamin waited for the rest of the council members to arrive to their meeting place.For Benjamin, Ethan's words were his own way of reassuring himself that he wasn't making a mistake by going along with their plan. He had become a member of the council at a much younger a
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
