Celestine thought of what Henry had said and had a really bad feeling about it. She wanted to warn Hector, but he seemed not to be anywhere in sight. She could not believe that she was the one who was feeling this way about her own son, Henry. But she could not help but suspect that he might do something rash.She decided to go and speak to Spark. She had tried to keep away from him since she got back, occupying her time with her grand children and Mildred whenever she was around. She liked going to their coven for witches meetings, like she did today. Everyone seem to be away. Then it occured to her that such times as this was when had things occur. But Henry would definitely not deliberately harm his brother, would he? All of a sudden, she felt a pain in her heart. She knew instantly that her mate and love, Spark was in pain. She had had this feeling but had pushed it to the background thinking it was his remorse at what he had done to her that was transmitting itself to her but th
As Henry came out of Spark's room after stabbing him with the silver, he quickly went into his room to wash the knife and his hands, which were shaking. He could not believe that he just killed the man he had known as father all this years. Then the irony of the situation dawned on him. My father wanted to kill me and my mum but we were rescued, probably do I could give him a taste of his own medicine. When I killed him, no one was there to come to his rescue. And it was so amusing that he started laughing. 'Ha, ha,ha,ha'. The sound felt good in his ears and hd laughed harder. 'Ha, ha,he,heeee!'Then he briskly went out of his room, out the door into the garden, walking as far from the house as possible.He heard his mother howl for a doctor but remained where he was. 'Does it mean that old son of a gun was not dead, yet? He must really be very strong. 'I am going to be stronger than he and his son, Hector put together. That is where Alexa comes in. Her powers are mine as well as her
Both of them were judge in time to hear the doctor say, 'He was stabbed with a silver knife which pierced his heart and the injury is soaked with wolfsbane that has spread all over his body. Even if I had come earlier, there is little I could have been able to do'. Then sighing said. 'This murder was premeditated. The attacker planned it to the last detail or it could be beginner's luck but he combined his weapon in such a way that of one didn't finish up the late elder Lyncan, then the other latent weapon was sure to have done the trick!'Hector was filled with grief and hearing this did not help his mood at all. 'Who did this?' he howled.'Oh, my!' Henry exclaimed. 'Just when my Dad and I were getting acquainted', he said going to hold Spark's hands reverently. 'Doctor, can you say for sure when this happened? Who found him?' he asked, looking around.'Mother found him. It was her howl that alerted us!' Hector said, trying to hold his grief in check.'I shall get to the bottom of th
The guards brought the security footage and everyone gathered round to see what had indeed happened and who was responsible. Celestine held her breath, this was it. They were going to find out that Henry was responsible and he was going to be beheaded and hanged. She looked with apprehension at Henry who returned her look.They looked through the footage but it was evident that nothing had been recorded. 'Someone must have either tampered with the video, wiping it out or putting it off ahead of time before commiting the murder!' Hector said.'Do you still doubt, that it is someone within?' Alexa asked. 'If the murderer is not from within, then he or she must have an accomplice from inside the manor!''You are right!' the Lyncan king said. 'I shall smell put the culprit!' .When Alexa had met Henry earlier in the fields, she had thought that he smelt funny but had dismissed it but right now, her antenna was up and she could not help thinking that he knew more than he was letting on. He
EARLIER.....'Lionel', Camellia called, as she stood by the door of their room. 'Your mother has had an accident and asked me to bring you and your siblings to the hospital to stay with her!''Our mother will never send you to bring us to her!' Landon said.'Well, she did too!' Camellia said smiling easily. 'I know you do not trust me but you must not forget that I am still your mother's sister and since I was the one who rushed her to the hospital and there seem to be no one around, she wants to bed sure you are safe with her till your father returns from his business trip', she said.'Why should we trust you?' Lionel asked. 'You've never given us cause to trust you in the past!' 'Well, like you said, that was in the past. I have decided to make amends. You remember all that happened at your birthday ceremony, well that taught me a lesson and I realized that there was nothing as great as family. I have two brothers like your mother must have told you but she is my only sister. I did
'Aunt, didn't we hear your mum say you were pregnant?' Leigh asked.'What has that got to do with this?' Camellia asked, Leigh's question, taking her by surprise. 'I'm definitely not going to give birth to anyone like you!''I hope not!' Lionel said. 'You will give birth to a child as heartless as you who will deal with you like you have dealt with others!''You...!' Camellia said, furiously, short of words in her anger. She raised her hand to strike Lionel but found that she could not move them. Her hands were stuck in the air, and Lionel's eyes were blazing red.'You shouldn't mess with us, you know!' Landon said and Camellia's eyes moved to look at him and saw that his was also blazing hot red like his brother's.'I wanted to confirm that you were pregnant because a woman, should know the value of life, especially a pregnant one who wants her child alive and not tainted with the blood of others!' Leigh said, her eyes red hot as well.Camellia looked at Leigh in a new light. The gir
She snapped out of her trance and looked at Hector. 'I know where they are!' she said, the image of the unnatural position of their heads haunting her. With heart thumping, she ran out and was going to run to where her mind was directing her but Hector had already driven out the car and throne the passenger door open. 'What are you doing, running to the place?' he asked. 'Jump in!' he ordered.She leapt in and shut the door and Hector drove off at top speed, tires screeching as he made a sharp U- turn.'Stop!' she ordered as they got to a very old building that looked abandoned.The Lyncan king was already bringing the car to a stop because he could smell them - his pups. They alighted and rushed into the building.Everywhere seemed to be in disarray. The stench of petrol was uncontrollable. Then they saw them their heads fallen to one side of their shoulders. They looked unconscious.As they rushed towards their children, they saw Camellia huddled at a corner, she was obviously uncon
Hector twisted her hands behind her, while she screamed in outrage.'Hector!' she howled. 'You never loved me. You never took notice of me. It was always her!' Then looking with deep resentment at her sister, she said, 'Even Henry, who should hate you, is also in love with you. What do you have that I don't? What is so special about you that the men go crazy over you?' she screamed hysterically.'You don't know how to love. You love only yourself, how then can you inspire love in others?' Alexa asked. She turned back and finished loosening the ropes that bound her pups and she whispered some incantation, transferring energy from her body into theirs and their eyes snapped open.'Mum, you are here!' they shouted simultaneously with joy on their faces.'Yes, my babies!' she replied, hugging them all at once. 'You are safe now!''I don't think so!' Camellia said. She had managed to free her hand and had grabbed another lighter. Without wasting time, she lit it and threw it towards the c
