"I'm trying very hard to understand what you are telling us Lord Nigel but, I'm very confused because you were the one that told us in the first place that Michael would be a much better Alpha than Ryan and all of a sudden now, you are telling us that you don't think or rather that, you no longer want to support Micheal to be the next Alpha. What exactly is this all about? Did you get into a fight with him? Is that it?" Omar asked, both bothering to hide his confusion. When he had first become a member of the council, he didn't have any issues with Ryan because the only thing that he was concerned about was doing his part as a newly appointed member of the council but after his crazy fall out with Ryan, he began to develop a very strong hatred for him and that was when Lord Nigel and Lord Fabio brought up the subject of no longer supporting Ryan and instead, working towards replacing Ryan with Michael, he had simply gone along with their suggestion because he did not like Ryan and al
Amelia hasn't stopped pacing around ever since she woke up this morning and prepared herself for the hectic day that was to come. The day that she had been dreading all this while had finally come and it was finally time for her to face her reality and put it out there that she was officially embracing her role as Luna. She has been in the fortress for over five months now and when she thought about it, she realised that she hasn't done anything in the last five months besides just wasting her time and that was just about it. She wished that she had made up her mind to tell the people that she was Luna earlier so that she could have had the chance to put herself out there more and maybe, do things in the pack that would help not just her reputation, but will also help the people out there as well. She was very much aware of how things outside the fortress were and she knew that a lot of horrible things had been happening out there and yet, she didn't even think of bringing it up, mu
"You called for me," Camille said, as soon as she walked into Adrian's office. She was a little surprised when a servant suddenly called for her and informed her that Adrian wanted to see her because it's been a while since she and Adrian last spoke to each other."Thank you for coming, Camille," Adrian responded. "Please do take a seat," he gestured for her to sit and Camille didn't hesitate to take her seat. "I think it would be best if you just went straight to the point of why you called me here because you and I know that, we are not on the best terms right now and I wouldn't want us to drag this out and make things even more awkward between us," Camille said, wanting him to drive straight to the point. She could already tell by the look on his face that he wasn't exactly comfortable having her around him and said she did not want to deal with the awkward situation and make herself uncomfortable. She preferred for him to just go straight into whatever he wanted to tell her so t
"Ryan?" Adrian called out, completely shocked to his friend in his office so suddenly."Hello, buddy. Good to see you and thanks for always having my back even when clueless people try to judge me like they know anything about me," Ryan said, indirectly referring to Camille who simply rolled her eyes. "If you have something to say to me, just go ahead and say it to me directly instead of beating around the bush. If you're expecting me to say hello to you or apologise for anything that I said, then you're simply wasting your time cause I don't think I said anything worth apologising for. Everything that I just said is nothing but the truth and if you cannot deal with it that is your business, not mine," Camille fired back at him immediately. She could honestly care less if I felt offended by anything that she said because she strongly believes that she was not off point at all and if he could not deal with the truth, that only proves that he's aware of the fact that her words weren't
"Wait, what? What's that supposed to mean? Why would she do that when knowing very well that she could put herself in danger?" Ryan asked. He wasn't understanding what was going on because the last time you had spoken to Amelia about something like this, they had agreed that she would introduce herself publicly when the time was right because if she did it in a rush, she would only end up putting herself in danger. "It is exactly how you heard it, Ryan. Amelia decided that she wanted to let the people know who she was and after insisting several times, I finally decided to let her do it please because it didn't seem like she was going to back down from what she wanted," Adrian explained and Ryan couldn't believe his ears. "I guess that Amelia could be very persistent but couldn't you have tried to stop her from doing it? We both know that this could end up putting her in grave danger and the last thing I want for her is to put her in danger. You should have stopped her Adrian," Ryan
"I honestly cannot believe you guys are doing this right now," Adrian finally spoke up, shaking his head in disbelief. "The only reason I left you guys to argue things out is because I wanted to hear you expose whatever it is that's going on between you but seeing how you guys have no intention of saying anything as regards to that, I really appreciate it if you just kept your fighting out of my office and let me deal with things that I have to deal with," he added, already sick and tired of listening to them argue like children. He wasn't surprised by the fact that Camille was still arguing since everyone knew that Camille wasn't the type to back down from an argument and she could be very persistent but he had expected Ryan to walk out of here a while ago but the fact that he was still arguing with Camille was something that was surprising to him and he was also slightly disappointed by him. "Listen Adrian, with all due respect, I would appreciate it if you don't get involved i
"The only reason I will stop getting in your business is not because I'm tired trying to talk sense into you, but because of the fact that Adrian is right and we do have other things to take care of instead of arguing and bickering like babies. The only thing I'm going to ask is that you don't try to convince Amelia to not do what she wants because that is when we're going to have problems and believe me, I will not let you hear the last of it," Camille warned and Ryan scoffed. "Like I said earlier, even if I decide to speak with Amelia now, I don't think that anything I say is going to change her mind and just so you know, I actually don't intend on speaking to Amelia because I don't want to get her hopes up," Ryan said and both Camille and Adrian turned to look at him with confused looks on their faces. "What exactly do you mean by that Ryan? Why won't you see her?" Adrian asked, visibly confused. "Do you even have to ask for I won't to see her? The only thing I've ever done fo
"You know Isabel, I'm honestly still not sure of the reason why you are here all of a sudden and don't get me wrong, it's not like I don't want you to be here or I'm not happy that you're back home with me but you just told me yourself that Amelia is going to be announcing herself as luna soon and I did not expect you to be here with me instead of being over there with her and supporting her," Ana, Isabel's mother said and Isabel sighed. She had only been home for a day now and her mother hasn't stopped questioning her about the reasons for coming home and why she wasn't with Amelia the moment I didn't exactly know how to explain to her mummy that the reason why she had come all the way home was because of the fact that she was having a bad feeling about something and she has had I thought to come home because whatever could be making her feel that way was probably at home. "I already told you that everything is going to be fine with Amelia mum and I'm pretty sure that she can ta
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
