JaneHe would pay with his life. I was going to make sure of it. I would torture him. That was what suited him. “You were strong out there,” she said to me. “I like your strength. But you cannot use that level of power against your uncle. He would demolish you with a thought. You stand no chance against him.”“I dealt with tanks and I was faster than bullets.”“You fought against a group of people who have never fought against a werewolf before. The humans there had only heard stories. I didn’t fight against any witch there but the leader who played like a wolf from the beginning using deceptive tactics to get my land and the weapons they had were human weapons. “They were not poisoned and no wolfsbane was seen in sight. The only threat being the werewolf people he had in his bedroom and the sniper who shot at us. I’d say our odds of winning that fight was higher than seventy percent. “However, with your uncle's pack it is different. He’s an experienced warrior. He might not be as
JaneI got up and took the cups to wash but she stepped forward.“I’ll use my magic to…” she said before I shook my head.“You’ve taught me a very important lesson,” I smiled, rounding her to head for the sink. “I will wash it like a normal human and save my strength for other things.”“Aren’t you tired after that battle?” was what she said while watching me clean the cups and wash the plates. “You aren’t tired, even if it’s for a second?”“I am not,” I laughed. “I am full of life and energy. I just needed some time to breathe, that's all.”She shrugged and headed up the stairs, leaving me to do the dishes.I found myself to have progressed further than the first time I had arrived here.I was stronger, faster and more knowledgeable. Some of the books in her hut had been fascinating for me. I learned the origin of the first magician and learned how to activate my powers.I tried it of course but it wouldn’t work. I wondered if it was because I was not fully magic but only a part of it
MarthaI ran into the forest, using my knowledge of the terrain to avoid traps and obstacles.She had not listened to a single word of what I had said. All she wanted to do was save the coven from certain doom.She was just like her mother but not carefree like her father. She was as strong as him if not stronger if she stopped holding back. I could feel her straining to take out the enemies. But I knew untold power laid within her.The smell of burning flesh and wood hit my nose as I got through the forest to see the coven miles away from me covered in flames.Whatever had happened to the coven was serious. This was a war.I ran towards the coven, using my powers to put out the flames.Some wolves saw me and ran to me but I held their lungs and squashed it, watching them fall to the ground.I didn’t like using my powers to extreme measures but if the opponents were going to burn down my coven then they had brought about war.The wolves blitzed into me, however, my shields were alread
MarthaShe pointed at me with hatred, blurting out nonsense. Everything she said was just how she felt about me and not actual facts on why she thought I was the problem of this coven.We heard quakes getting closer as we looked to the pack and found something land close to us before zipping into us.We split just as the creature followed me about.It had red eyes, its fists clenched and fangs out. The permanent scowl on its face seemed to cause my heart to shake with fear.I was done running. I was a witch. I could win this fight if I put my heart on killing it. There was no way I was running away from this alpha.Turning around, I readied myself for the attack it would give to me.My shields were usually doubled to ensure maximum protection but this time, I tripled it. That would give me enough time to enforce my offensive abilities on him.He appeared before me with his speed like he had just teleported and punched into the shield.Just like I had expected, the shield held up, but
JaneI paced around the house not doing anything but worrying my head off.I wanted so much to join the fight but that would not be possible. I had to trust Martha and her magic. If she was not the strongest in the pack, then I doubted that the rogues would have much attacking the pack.I heard a door slam and minutes later the sleeping witch walked down the stairs to join me in the living room.“Where is she?” she asked, looking around.“Martha? She joined the fight.”“She’s going to die.”“I’ve seen Martha fight. She can hold her own against the wolves.”“No,” she shook her head. “I am one of the strongest in the coven and I got my ass handed to me by an elder of their pack. Those wolves are not normal. They are strong.”“How strong?”“Their leader tore through the gates with his bare hands.”“Any creature can do that.”“That gate was made from graphene. It’s hundred times stronger than ordinary steel. It was also fortified with magic to make it stronger. That man tore through it wi
Sinclair“Sinclair!” I heard a distant voice. No, this was a trick, it had to be. Those witches must have implanted it into my head when they used their spells against me.My eyesight was gone just as my hearing was gone. All I could do was smell but nothing smelled the same. They were all smoke and fire.“Sinclair!” the distant scream came again as I tightened my grip on the neck of whatever creature I was holding.I raised my hand higher this time ready to slice through the creature before me but when I did so, it held my hand with exceeding strength.That was impossible. Nothing could hold me back. No one could rival my power.I let my wolf show as the tussle of strength between us increased with the land around us sinking under our combined weight.I tried to use my wolf to heal myself even quicker which I did and there in front of me was the last person I had expected to see.It was Jane.“Wha…” I released my hand from her neck just as she punched into my jaw, sending me flying h
Jane“What?!” he yelled in frustration. It was clear he didn’t understand why I was still rejecting his idea to get back with him.Sure I wanted to go home with him but it wasn’t going to be that easy. He had to earn it.I was living a wonderful life here in the coven. If I wasn’t in the coven I was in the valley. There I had formed a bond with the witch, Martha.She had taught me to be stronger than I would ever be and taught me to be able to hold my own against both magical and non magical attacks. She was the definition of power and strength. I was going to be stronger under her tutelage.However I couldn’t leave everything to follow him just because he apologized. His apologies meant nothing if they would happen again.I wanted him to mean it and stop the rumors from spreading and destroying the good name I had built for myself. “What do you want?”“I am hurt, deeply hurt,” I sighed. “I haven’t done anything but been there for you whenever you wanted me and all I got was rumors a
MarthaI walked away from the couple with Indigo, heading back to my valley to rest for a while before getting back to the coven, however the witch had other ideas.The wolves were still fighting against the witches and none would let up until we stopped them.We could not teleport as we were out of manna. So we flew, but that could only take us far enough to use the rest on foot.We got to the coven, ringing the bell and getting everyone’s attention.“All of you should stop fighting and listen up!” I yelled. This got their attention. “We’ve reached an agreement. The wolf pack and the witches should stop fighting for now. The alpha would brief you all tomorrow. Witches, tend to the wounded wolf and witch. Wolves, help pile up the dead for the pyre.”They all grumbled but complied with my words as I sat down with the witch.“So she’s dating that jerk who nearly took our heads off,” she laughed. “He’s a strong fella, I’ll give him that.”“He’s a Lycan. It’s not like we weren’t expecting
Jane’s POV“I’m coming for you Sinclair,” I muttered before running out of the pack at high speed.With each step I took I could feel my speed and strength coming back as I zipped through the pack leaving the pack to the mercy of a rampaging Sinclair.I ran for minutes, passing a wreck site before meeting Martha and the rest of the pack on the road heading for Sullivan’s pack.“Are you okay?” she asked with indigo floating to me as I nodded.“I am.”“Where is the alpha?”“He lost control and right now he’s destroying the entire pack.”“Good for those bastards,” I heard Indigo mutter with some of the witches muttering in agreement.“Those people didn’t do anything wrong to him. The one who did was Sullivan and I’m sure he’s dead right now. Same thing goes for Ethan. He’s probably dead. Sinclair has so much anger and rage in his body that he would do anything to break through the world if possible.”“It’s the magic. He’s lost his humanity,” said Martha. “I’m guessing you used the hex.”
Sinclair’s POVShe nodded looking at the hex. She concentrated on it, using her magic to infuse into the hex.“Are you thinking of how to put it on?” I asked her as she nodded.“Just give me a moment.”I would give her the amount of time she needed. So long as I would get my super strength at the end of the day. I would rather die an alpha's death than escape a coward.She closed her eyes, putting her thumb to her mouth as she bit it and poured some blood on the hex which turned to a phone-like device with a lever.She pushed it down with two holes appearing on its side. Soon enough the holes released a lot of smoke in my direction before going out into the open.I felt my strength returning slowly.“The smoke is getting heavier,” she said to her feet.I casually stood up, breaking the chains holding me down. I was at full strength now and I could still feel my powers growing.I grabbed hold of her chains, breaking them off.“I don’t feel so bad. I mean, I can still feel my powers gro
Jane’s POVHe sighed, looking to his knees. “I even had a fight with the witches before leaving. She was trying to explain something to me and I pushed her aside in anger. I wanted to understand why you would cheat on me so I decided to come here on my own and see what was going on.”I couldn’t blame him. Ethan was a snake. Ethan had made me leave the pack anyway.“Ethan was behind this all along,” he blurted as I stared at him in shock.“He what?!”“He did so much to you that you don’t even know it’s from him. Ethan needs to be stopped permanently.”I agreed with him.I told him about the hex Martha had created for me which would amplify my powers and he was fascinated by it.“So how does this work? Do we say some magic word or do we just use it alongside your powers?”“Magic words are fine. We’ll use the magic hex like a smoke screen to escape but we have to be very careful as the hex has different sides to them.”He tilted his head. “What do you mean?”I could see his wounds were n
Sinclair’s POVNow I had to deal with my stubbornness. It had brought me to the end.The door opened again with two hefty guards getting in.They looked at me and opened my cell, dragging me by the chains out of the cell.I didn’t expect them to treat me nicely since I was going to die anyway and I couldn’t pretend how much it hurt, leaving everything in the care of my brother.He was a wrecking ball. The pack would crash in a few days.He lacked the leadership skills I had. He was impatient, unkind and crude to people. There was no way he was capable of leading the pack.I was dragged out of the building with the crowd screaming for my head to roll.The guards took me to a podium to tie me down to a ledge. There I would stay and wait for my execution to arrive.***Jane’s POVI was dragged out by one of the guards as they said the alpha was about to be killed off so I needed to see him.He dragged me out of the room like I was a child and we were out of the room soon enough, walking
Martha’s POVNow this man’s words were the last straw for me. I stood up with a frown.“Those who will ride with me to take out Ethan should follow me,” I walked to the door. “Those who choose to stay have sided with Ethan. You don’t know how dangerous you are until you have tried fighting the beasts you fear.”Walking out of the throne room made me feel weak. What if no one followed me? I thought to myself. What if I walked out and looked back only to find no one but myself? That would hurt. Everything I had given to this pack would be taken for granted. No one would see me and Indigo as leader material and I would not be chosen to lead alongside indigo again.When I reached the gate, I heaved a heavy breath, turning to see everyone from the throne room before me. Even the ones who had refused to follow were present.“You all showed up,” I smiled.One of the wolves stepped forward. “I figured since we were going to die anyway, we might as well make it mean something. The people in t
Martha’s POVMy eyes darted from big to small, taking in their sights. Anyone who moved carelessly would take in my wrath which I was glad to give off.“Anyone who has something to say would say it when the time is right. For now, I would advise you all to sit down and let her finish with the story.”Everyone settled down as I waved for the girl to continue but she told me she was done.The story was unbelievable. Sinclair, defeated? That was not possible. Even I found that hard to believe. It was Sinclair we were talking about. There was no way he would be beaten by anyone. I could not even fight with him on even grounds without taking a beating. How had he lost?Yes, she had said he was taken down by three alphas and a lot of wolves, plus he had been shot by archers who had wolfsbane infused poisoned arrows but it wasn’t a concrete story I would believe so blindly.“Are you sure of what you’re saying or you’re making stuff up?” I asked the wolves on my side for a change. “Because le
Jane’s POV“Do you even see how ridiculous you sound?” the old alpha growled. “You would die for him? You would prefer dying with him? I wasn’t even going to kill you yet but imprison you until you die but if that is the route you want to go through then so be it. I will take off your head alongside his! Is that you last wish?”“That is my last wish,” I confirmed. “I want to die alongside my alpha. I would rather go with him than be in this world without my mate.”Damien stepped forward putting his phone into his pocket. He was visibly worried by what I had said.“Are you mad?” he growled. “You seriously want to do this? You want to let everything you’ve created go just like that because of him? You would rather die for him than live? What about your children I kidnapped the last time? They don’t mean anything to you?”“Stay out of this rogue,” I growled. “It’s not like you care about me. When you chose to kidnap my children you don’t care. I suggest you sit this one out.”Sullivan fe
Jane’s POVWas this all my fault? Why had he not seen this attack? This was so unlike him.“Don’t blame yourself for it,” he laughed louder this time. “He was bound to fall someday. It was only going to take some time.”When he was done, he walked to the television, disconnected his phone and left.I was left alone for hours as the guilt penetrated my soul. I had single handedly killed the alpha and destroyed the pack.If I had actually talked with him and let him know of my plans this would not have happened.Now I had destroyed everything he had built from the ground up. I had embarrassed him and killed him. This was all my fault.Why didn’t he go to Martha and indigo? I had given him the hint to go to them. Or had Martha not told him anything?I had been captured, he was supposed to know that I would be here after talking with the witches.Now I felt really guilty and my heart sank with unhappiness. Watching those videos and seeing him in that awful state made me shed tears of sad
Jane’s POV“Ethan?!” I gasped. This was a surprise as he laughed.“Surprise.”“Are you here to rescue me?” I laughed. “I knew Sinclair wouldn’t trust that I was in the pack. These guys…”“Kidnapped you, yes, I know,” he completed with a cold smile.“Yes, and they held me back. The guy on red there is Sullivan, the other one is Damien and the…”He turned to the men and spoke to them in hushed tones as they nodded, leaving with the guard.Now we were alone, behind closed doors.“What is going on?” I asked. “What did they say? Are they going to release me? Did they say anything about releasing me?”“Jane,” he said as I looked at him. “Yeah.”“Shut up. Just shut the fuck up!”I was taken aback by his sudden outburst. I had not expected that. What was going on?“Are you okay? Did I do something wrong?”“You don’t seem to care about my feelings for you,” he sighed.“Please stop and help me.”“I seem to forget which one of us is in chains and which one is free. Because last time I checked,
