Two hundred years ago..."We should do it soon, Alpha Vincentius."The hooded figure stepped back to make way for Vincentius to advance to the centre of the heptagon altar. Vincentius could see each of the hooded figures standing at each corner begin to stretch out their arms once he was right in the centre of the altar.Vincentius began to hear the sound of speech from the seven figures surrounding him being spoken repeatedly. He did not understand the Latin spoken by them. He could only stand still to wait for what would happen next."The blood of Alpha Huxley of the Coldfur Pack. Alpha Clement's blood from Les Chiens Fous. The blood of Alpha Karl of Ambersky-Klauen. Alpha Orazio's blood comes from Crestaamara. Alpha Sato's blood comes from Raitofa no Kage. Alpha Rowan's blood is from the Crimsontooth Pack. Alpha Ethan's blood from the Blue Moon Hounds Pack."One by one, the hooded figures lifted a small bottle of dark red liquid and poured it over Vincentius' head until all seven o
Ten years later..."I'm sorry, mommy."Edith gazed at Julie's emerald green bead, which implied regret. The little girl uttered every word from her mouth with all her might as she lay weakly on the bed. Seeing her like that made Edith both sad and worried. Because she attacked Liam exactly like in the incident nine years ago."I don't know why I suddenly wanted to attack him. It was as if a voice whispered to me to kill him. I tried to fight back, but my vision went dark, and I didn't feel anything anymore.""What did he say?""Kill Vincentius!""Male or female voice?""Female, hoarse, like choking. Mommy, is dad going to ground me?""Calm down; I'll talk to your dad. From now on, you must always tell me how you feel before it's too late. Do you understand?""Yes, mommy, I understand."Edith kissed Julie's forehead. She saw a teardrop fall from the corner of her eye. Edith felt that there was something wrong and had been missed by her and Seth for the past ten years.Edith thought har
"This is Joan.""Julie welcomed Joan's hand when the red-haired girl extended hers. Julie carefully observed Joan's alert appearance. She repeatedly moved her head to the right and left, as if sensing some lurking danger.Joan occasionally frowned as if she were hearing something. She even mumbled incoherently after their hands had slipped away from each other. Julie thought it was a bit silly, but she was still polite because she didn't want to make trouble with a witch anyway."She's often possessed; I hope you won't be surprised if she suddenly behaves unusually," Julian whispered in Julie's ear."Why did you bring her here? It's ridiculous," Julie replied no less quietly."She's trustworthy, and she's still a descendant of the five great witches.""I only trust you, Julian.""And I need your expertise to break into Dad's cupboard.""Hahaha, you're so funny.""So, can we get started?"Joan looked straight at Julie. Her grey eyes seemed to be searching for an answer to the question
"There will always be a loophole."Julie saw very clearly what Aleena did before she died. The witch pulled a thin thread from her temple. She created a small jar of empty air in front of her and put the thin thread into it. Aleena then removed the jar with a swift motion as Alistair shifted back into his human form."The time of witches is over; the glory of werewolves will begin from now on, Aleena the Great Witch.""Corpus meum tibi dedico matri naturae...tunc erit anima mea tranquilitas post effugium iter formatum.""I curse you; you and your bloodline will not live to be 40 years old. There will always be a creature I can count on to make the curse work."Julie saw Aleena's body turn into ash particles floating in the air. In front of her, Alistair stood proudly, staring at Aleena's death. Alistair's thunderous laughter was followed by the howls of the wolves who were still in the pack with him.Julie felt the pieces of the puzzle that had confused her at the beginning come toget
"From what I can tell, they're after you, Seth."Chris linked his fingers. It was not without reason that he could conclude such a thing. Given that the cases of attacking the Alphas in several major countries left traces. He found out that the ones who attacked them were rogues."Why did you come to that conclusion?""I read some cases that happened hundreds of years ago, based on your grandfather's description. One of those caught mentioned your grandfather and Red Crescent Moon. Be careful."Seth read the file Chris had given him. He analysed the information one by one. He found the descriptions of the Alphas from various countries who were victims of the massacre about 150 years ago. He also saw the names of his grandfather and Red Crescent Moon mentioned in the chronological details of the coup carried out by his grandfather.Seth read the testimony of his grandfather, who was a witness to the forbidden ritual, but he could not look into the details of the type of ritual performe
"I hope he can keep his mouth shut so as not to reveal our plan."One of the six people sitting around the campfire spoke. He turned down the volume of his voice so that their conversation would not be overheard by someone who might be passing through the forest. They had already gone through the night without one person from the group and it was really making things tense."Matt, I'm going to look for more firewood."The person named Matt nodded and got up from his seat. He walked into the tent and came out with a roll of parchment and a candle in his hand. By the light of the campfire in front of him, he read the writing on the parchment.Matt lit the candle, keeping the light steady with the help of one of his friends. After he repeated the words on the parchment three times, the candlelight went out.Suddenly, in front of them, came a female witch. She grinned at everyone around the campfire. Her frog-like face was so annoying that it made one of them snort.A soft plop sound was
"You look exactly like Jovanka."Katarina looked straight at Edith. It was like she was looking at a duplicate of Jovanka, except that Edith looked paler and had skin as smooth as a porcelain surface. Of course, Katarina knew that Edith had become a vampire. It was all because of her deed.Katarina had the scenario to turn her into a vampire because she wanted Edith's descendants to be tribrid. Her gaze shifted from Edith to Julie, who was still curled up motionless. A lopsided smile spread across her lips as she was satisfied to see the result of the plan she had devised for hundreds of years.She stretched her arms out in front of her, as if some invisible force had made Julie stand upright in front of her. Katarina stepped towards Julie and held her weight in place."Notavi eam meis viribus..."Katarina shone a black-colored light from the tip of her index finger on Julie's forehead. The light slowly entered Julie's forehead, making the little girl cry out in pain. A line that over
"She wanted to protect the Veela nation from extinction."Jovanka swung one hand towards one of the shelves. Edith saw a book come out of the shelf and fly towards Jovanka's hand. Edith approached, wanting to know what Jovanka wanted to show her.Jovanka walked over to the chair and sat down to read the book she was holding. She had opened a page filled with handwriting and held it out to Edith.Edith read it carefully. It took her half an hour to finally find what she was looking for. Edith raised her face and asked, "Am I the only one who can have descendants?""Yes. She felt remorse for slaughtering the Veela nation back then and continued to take care of me until you were born. Once she learned of your fate with one of the Alpha's of the werewolf race, she promised me she would keep you alive with a rather extreme scenario.""Making me into a vampire by cursing Seth while I was pregnant with Juliette...yeah, it was an extreme way.""She saw you with Hybrid Kai and had that idea.
