Isabel stood at the balcony, waiting for Adrian to finally show up. Earlier today, when she had weighted back briefly in his office, she had told him that she wanted to speak to him that night and they had agreed to meet by the balcony by this time. She was thinking hard on how she was going to approach the situation with him and ask him what was going on with him without offending him or making him feel like she was prying into his business and she could only hope that whatever she said to him today was not going to cause them to argue or get into a fight again because, that was the last thing she wanted at this very moment. She was so deep in her thoughts that she did not even realise when someone had appeared behind her and it wasn't until she was tapped lightly on the back that she snapped back to reality and out of her messy thoughts. "Oh hey!" she greeted as soon as she noticed that it was Adrian who had tapped her. "What's going on Isabel? What were you thinking about so d
Camille ran as fast as she could as soon as she got the message that her son, Jared had fallen ill and was in critical condition. She could not believe the fact that anything will happen to our sun as it was the very last thing that she expected. She was a little worried about the fact that going to see him might stir up some kind of drama and bring attention to the fact that she had a son but she couldn't possibly do nothing about it and stay back home just because she didn't want to expose him. It also kind of hurt her to know that Leandro didn't even bother to send any word to her to tell her that their son was not in a good condition and that she had to find out through the person that she had put in charge of watching over him behind his back. As far as she was concerned, his actions could only mean that he did not want her anywhere near their son and he probably did not want her to show her face to him but she could care less because the only thing that she could think of at
Camille walked into Jared's room and like Leandro had said, he was fast asleep. She didn't want to wake him because she didn't want to have to explain to him who she was and why she was in his room so she simply stood at the far edge of his bed and watched him sleep. Her mind was all over the place as she couldn't help but wonder what could be happening to him. She wanted to use her abilities to find out the reason behind his condition but she knew that the minute she started, she was definitely going to get caught and she did not want that to happen. If she got caught, she would only be putting Jared's life in danger and also putting Leandro's life at risk as well. She was about moving closer to him to check if she would sense anything that could give her a clue on what was wrong with him but just as she was about to check him thoroughly, Lydia walked in and pulled her back. "Excuse me?" Camille hissed in a hushed tone as she was taken aback by her audacity to even touch her.
"I already set a date for the town meeting Amelia and it'll be happening in the next three days," Adrian informed Amelia and her heart dropped to her stomach. She knew that sooner or later she would have to prepare herself for this but for some reason, it still felt like she wasn't prepared and that she still needed more time to adjust herself and make up her mind. "It's in three days? Are you even sure you'll be ready to face that many people in three days?" Isabel asked, knowing very well that Amelia was definitely going to have a panic attack. She knew her friend wasn't very good at boldly speaking in front of many people and she feared that she'd only end up making a mistake and embarrassing herself. I most definitely could not return home cause that meant I was willingly going to get myself killed since one of the rules stated that any member that chooses to run away will immediately be considered as an enemy of the pack and will be killed if caught and that ruled very much ap
"What do you mean you made the poison Camille? Since when did you start making poison?" Leandro asked, wondering what she was going on about. "I can't explain everything to you right now because my priority is saving Jared but the first thing I need you to do for me is to leave this room with her and stay far away from here. I'll do what I need to do and let you know when you can come in," Camille responded and Leandro scoffed. "I'm not leaving you here with my kid Camille. You're not a medical practitioner so how the hell are you going to help him? If you're not gonna let me stay, then you can forget about treating him," Leandro hissed back at her and Camille sighed in frustration. She knew that what she was about to do was something that Leandro shouldn't witness but she was desperate to save her child and if he didn't have any intention of leaving, that meant that she would have to expose her deepest secret to him and put him in even more danger. After hours of sitting tied to
Amelia was in front of the meeting room where she was supposed to meet with Lord Lionel and Lord Fritz. She was apparently summoned by them and even though she was very sceptical about going to meet with them, she decided to just do it and listen to whatever it is they had to say to her because at the end of the day, it would not be a bad idea for her to get to know them and get them on her side. According to what she had heard from Adrian so far, Lord Lionel and lord Fritz were not exactly huge fans of Ryan simply because of the fact that they did not trust him with the welfare of the pack as a whole but at the same time, they were also not a fan of the other council members because they knew how manipulative and how selfish they were and they other understand the fact that everything that they were doing in the name of the pack was only a lie because they were only doing things to aid their authority and make them even more powerful. Amelia made up her mind that she could just get
"Haven't you guys noticed that there is something going on that we are not aware about?" Lord Cassius asked, directing his question to the rest of the council members except Lord Lionel and Lord Fritz. Lord Fabio had called all of them for a meeting at his place in order to talk about how quiet things have been with Ryan. They were not exactly surprised by the fact that Ryan had been missing from action in the last few weeks but the fact that Adrian was so quiet and that he hasn't exactly been doing too much like usually does was something that they found very odd and suspicious. "Isn't that why we're here today to talk about it and to also find out how we are going to uncover whatever it is that is going on? The fact that Adrian has suddenly called for a pack meeting is something that we were not exactly expecting and this can only mean that there is something else that is about to happen and we need to find out what exactly it is as soon as possible," Lord Nigel replied. "I don
"What exactly do we need to talk about Fabio? I'd like to believe that you wouldn't just call me back here only to bring up some insignificant topic," Nigel said, crossing his legs and staring back at Fabio with a curious look in his eyes. He was definitely curious to know why Fabio would even call him back because he knew that Fabio wasn't one to do such except it was an important issue and he couldn't possibly think of anything that they would need to talk about that was important except the issue with Amelia that was already settled as far as he knew. "Well, believe me when I say that I don't exactly enjoy having very long conversation with you because I know that we'll only end up disagreeing on one thing or the other but what we need to talk about this pretty much the most important issue right now and it is about Micheal who we intend to use as a replacement for Ryan once we successfully overthrow him," Fabio replied. Nigel furrowed his brows in confusion. "What exactly do we
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
