"I trust you, Eva!"She nodded. As she chanted, she spread her hands apart and made a few up-and-down motions with them in the air. Her attention was fixed on the building in front of her. A transparent shield soon encircled it."Give me your hands!" Eva said to Seth and Edith who were to her left and right.Both of them then gave their hands to grasp each other. Eva closed her eyes and chanted her last spell out loud. In the next second, the transparent shield thickened and was coated in a bright blue light.Eva loosened her grip. She looked to her left and right then said, "It's done. You will be protected from attacks by vampires or werewolves who are not members of your pack, but this protection magic is not strong enough to withstand attacks from high-level magic for too long. At least it gives you time to save yourselves."The three's eyes were distracted when they heard a loud explosion from a tree not far from where they were standing. The tree set itself on fire suddenly, mak
"How is Eva?"Seth asked Ashley, while she just shook her head slowly and looked glum. Seth looked at Eva who was lying on the bed with concern. What kind of protection magic could cause such suffering in a powerful witch like Eva?All we can do is wait. Luna Edith is already utilising her healing magic to assist me in reducing her suffering. Her situation is critical. Her use of magic depleted all of her magical energy, and now her spirit is suffering instead of her body."Is this one of those soul-sharing black magic, Ash?" asked Seth skeptically."I think so," Ashley replied weakl""I apologise, Will! I didn't anticipate Eva using this magic. High level dark magic like this isn't something I'm particularly acquainted with. If I had known, I would have stopped her from doing it and take another option for Julie.""You shouldn't feel responsible about Eva's condition, Seth. She and your father are very close, perhaps this is a blessing of their friendship. We can only pray. She has d
[Can you hear that?][Yes, Alpha. I can hear it too][Bloody lunatic!]Seth moved his forelegs as he was agitated by the sound he heard earlier. The howl of pain sounded heartbreaking. Seth knew that it was the sound from inside the building far ahead of them.He signalled Liam to hold back, at least until it became dark. Their reconnaissance in this place should not be known by anyone. The tall, thick wall that bordered the building, they could have jumped over; but Seth decided not to attract attention.Seth heard the sound of rustling grass from behind. He strained his ears and sense of smell to find out what was going on. His instincts told him that he should check out the sound immediately.[Wait here, I have to check something!][Okay, Alpha]Seth moved his four legs towards the source of the sound. His eyes caught a small movement among the bushes in front of him. Seth stepped slowly and saw a deer sitting among the bushes near the boulder in front of him.Seth felt compelled t
"Fluctus Maxima!"Seth witnessed the wolf's body being bashed against something before being taken away from him after Seth's stomach was cut. The other two wolves who were attempting to join Seth's attack stopped their movements right away. Once again resting in the distance, the brown wolf was approached by them as they turned around. Seth noticed Eva and the other three wolves behind him and instantly shifted into his human form."Eva!""Yes, it's me. I'm not too late, am I?""No, thanks to the Moon Goddess!"The portal behind him revealed the figure he had missed so much. Edith rushed into Seth's arms and held her husband's body tightly."Are you okay?" asked Edith as she looked over Seth's scarred body."I'm fine."Edith immediately took Seth's hand and transferred her healing energy to the Alpha. Seth felt his bones fusing faster, the lacerations all over his body closing faster and his energy replenished."Will, Jed, you two accompany me! Jadden, you release Liam, who is above
"What did they say?"Jadden looked at Seth, who was sitting behind his desk. He seemed to be wondering what they should discuss next. Matthieu's issue had been resolved, but now it came down to the Idris Council. Jadden could confirm that after Seth read the summons for himself and all the beings involved in the Supreme Alpha's downfall."We have a hearing in two weeks. Me, the wolves, Edith, and, of course, Eva You can rest easy; we have enough evidence to bring them down," Seth replied as he propped up his chin in thought."And what about your father?""As soon as possible, I will take care of his mutation. I have also made invitations to all pack leaders around the world to attend a closed-door meeting regarding the position of Supreme Alpha. I have the support of almost half of them.""But what about Matthieu's remaining supporters?""I have proof of the Monomachia terms between me and Matthieu. They cannot deny it!""How did you do that?""Before going to the altar, I visited the
"Are you guys ready?"Eva had already spread her arms out to the sides. One more hand movement from her, and the portal would open directly in front of them. The six people behind her nodded, and they saw a circular portal open immediately afterwards.They entered the portal that led them to the city of Stockholm to attend the hearing regarding the Supreme Alpha's death."I'm feeling sick to my stomach!" said Seth, who was already breaking out in a cold sweat."The Idris Council building has a huge energy field that this portal is exposed to. You wolves can't do magic, so that's why you feel sick. Unlike Edith and I, who have magic ability, we can instinctively counteract it.""I would rather choose to run on four legs than enter a portal. I have to put up with that because my wife and I are travelling. My head is seriously spinning from this. Seth complained."Hang in there; we'll be there in a bit!" Eva said, calming Seth, who was already very pale.The end of the portal showed a vi
"You'll see!"Edith could not imagine what punishment would be meted out to a werewolf in the unforgivable category, as had just been meted out to the ash-covered vampire. Even imagining it made her head spin.The mirrored waiting room at the top of the courtroom was not only attended by their group. Edith had seen a list of seven cases to be heard today, and she saw that there were ten glassed-in rooms. She could conclude that the four waiting rooms were already occupied by court participants who were waiting for their turn."Bloody hell! What did that witch do to the werewolf?"Will exclaimed when he saw the accused werewolf's body convulse without the witch touching it. A grunt of pain echoed throughout the room. The werewolves in the room, including himself, shuddered in horror when they saw the punishment being meted out."The executioner is squeezing his heart!" Eva's voice trailed off as she answered."What is the werewolf doing?" asked Seth as he massaged his chin."I don't kn
Several months later..."Thank you for providing us with a place to stay."Alexandra extended her hand to Seth as an expression of gratitude to the Alpha for giving her shelter. The woman decided to leave the pack house once she gave birth and the baby was old enough to travel with."What are your plans next?" Edith asked as she led Alexandra to the front door."I'm going back to my home in Spili, continuing my life with my baby. She's the only thing that matters in my life right now," she explained."I understand. I wish you a happy life with your son.""Goodbye, Luna Edith!""May the Moon Goddess be with you," said Edith with a sad face.After that, Edith could only stare at Alexandra as she left the courtyard of the pack house and passed through the high gate that separated the house from the alternative road to Surrey. Edith heard a wolf howl from the forest across the road. A sad howl that of course Edith knew from Alexandra that faintly sounded far away.Her gaze shifted to Seth
