The Red Witch 17. The Unexpected Guests
The next few days were busy as I had to confirm the preparations for Zayn's party next week.The decorations, the catering, the cake, and Zayn's outfit for the party must all be perfect, and I have to ensure everything is what I had ordered. I multitasked with the party and the papers left on my desk when I set out to Whithold. More of those Happy Dust has fallen in a tiny village in the coastal area. It stated that the town had lost its people when purple smoke appeared. This caused the villagers to become hysterical and hallucinate. Then they vanished.Happy Dust doesn't give off such symptoms. Did they create an advantage to speed up the process?This is giving me a headache. "Mistress?" Bastian entered my office and brought tea. Good timing because this stress keeps increasing. "Are you alright?"He places the teacup on the desk as I lean against my chair, pinching the bridge of my nose. "I've only been gone for a few days, and reports from my generals have all the same issue in
The Red Witch 18. Princes of Whithold
Miffy and the other maids changed my outfit into a bold, more intimidating look to present before the royal princes.It still baffles me that those three princes decided to visit my domain. Was it the king's idea? Since the Crown Prince and I aren't engaged is he trying to set me up with the other two bachelors? I thought marrying into the royal family don't be needed for an alliance.Well, I have to see what their unexpected visit means."You look stunning, Mistress!" Another bunny maid, Daisy Mae, commented. All the other maids agree and blush.I look at the mirror and smirk. "You girls have always done a great job making me look this beautiful."I know I've always been beautiful. In my past life, I never cared about makeup, fixing my hair, or wearing nice clothes because I worked multiple jobs to pay off that damn bastard, Daniel. Now in this world, I can afford anything and wear anything without worrying. I have maids to dress me up like a doll, and I don't mind being spoiled
The Red Witch 19. Thinking of Him
I slept through a peaceful night, but my eyes were open as I tried to sleep. After Daniel and the other princes came over the other day continued to linger in my mind. Joining forces crosses my mind. I've told Grandfather I'll be taking the Happy Dust case alone, but it seemed that King Augustus couldn't sit still after what happened to his son. I tossed and turned in my king-size bed and gazed up at the ceiling, unsure if I had picked the right choice.I didn't want Whithold to be involved with something they hadn't dealt with before. Two years ago, I destroyed the operation and ensured Happy Dust was no more. But it has resurfaced and involved the royal family of Whithold. If not destroyed completely, they will have it spread all over the world.I let out a frustrated groan.Pull up the sheets over my chest and try to sleep. But my eyes sprung open when I felt an uneasy presence entering my open balcony doors. It's an assassin. A male, around five foot eight, skinny, not muc
The Red Witch 20. A Dream or The Future?
Something tickled my nose. I wiggled from its touch and flung it away from my face as I opened my eyes at the light blue sky. "Huh?" I was confused and unaware that I had slept outside. "Why am I outside? Shouldn't I be in my bed?" I vaguely remember I lay in my bed waiting for Bastian to bring my tea, then the next thing I woke up in a grassy field lying under a tree that sat across a beautiful crystal blue lake. Did I accidentally use magic to teleport me here? I looked down at my clothes. I wasn't wearing my nightgown but a beautiful white dress. I reached to touch my hair and pulled out flowers. I sniffed the flower to smell the fragrance. These are real, and the texture is real. I got up, leaving the cool breeze caressing my skin and blowing my dress and hair. I scan my eyes around to find this place peaceful and harmonized. Birds are chirping, and the trees are dancing along with the flowers as the wind blow. Everything here is...quiet. I don't have to deal with a two-f
The Red Witch 21. The Birthday Party
It's finally here. The birthday party of the year for Zayn. Today he turns into a man - a beastman. Once he transitions during a full moon, tonight is when his powers are awake. That is how beastman and women evolve. I had everything prepared for Zayn. Having his birthday at night, everyone wears a costume to give that Halloween theme. Here in this world, they never heard of Halloween and its traditions of dressing up as characters or monsters of your choice and receiving sweet treats.Halloween is one of my favorite holidays back in my other life. I love to dress up and go around different houses and get candy. Rebecca would wear expensive costumes my parents will buy her and a princess outfit every year as a child. As for me, I had to find scraps around and improvise. It's not much, but it's to celebrate Hallow's Eve.Since I couldn't celebrate Halloween in my old life, why not introduce it in this life? After all, we already have the creatures and monsters fitting the theme.
The Red Witch 22. Birth of an Alpha
What do you want, jerk?That is what I wanted to say, but Daniel and his brothers are guests and also royalty. I have to be respectful to my neighboring allies.I placed my hand over my heart and lowered my head as I curtsy. "Your highness." I lift myself. "Thank you for coming.""Alice is there any way you and I can have a private talk."I lift my brow. "If you have something to say, say it here," I tell him. "As you can see, I have to greet my other guests. I'm surprised you aren't worried about being surrounded by monsters. Not to worry, they serve under me. I give the orders."I made it sound like a threat, but Daniel didn't seem too intimidated."Okay, first of all. What are you wearing?" He asks."Excuse me?" "This is supposed to be a costume party that you initiated, yet you are wearing what those women wear in the Dust District."The Dust District, hence the name, has no pavement, only dirt in the lower part of Whithold. It's where the scums, low life, and women give their
The Red Witch 23. Who is Icarus?
Once Zayn evolution to his mature state on the day of his birthday, everyone at the party felt his aura. A compelling aura of an alpha. I knew Zayn was no ordinary beastman, but I would never have expected him to be an alpha.Three years ago, when I found him, he was timid and hostile mainly because he was captured and going to be sold on the black market. If it weren't for me and the others stopping the operation, Zayn would have been traded.Can't you believe I made a child with pure alpha blood be my assistant? Having such powerful blood in him makes him a prince. Then again, I didn't treat him as one like Daniel. If I were to known of Zayn's origin, I would have placed him in a different position. After the party, I offered him a higher status, but he declined at once. Zayn loves serving me and staying by my side. He even begged me not to give him the position. It was quite childish for someone who just transformed. But what was a beastman child doing with a trafficker?If Za
The Red Witch 24. Baltic Sea Port: The Weeping Woman Revenge (part 1)
I couldn't quite fathom the word that came from Zayn's mouth that night. I've been in a daze for a whole day after the party. My mind was adrift. It's been easy to understand Zayn's transformation to alpha but challenging to know how he claimed me as his mate. Every time we share eye contact, I avoid looking at him. Yesterday, I heard the word "mate" from a few maids cleaning the corridor. Something inside me flipped, and I ignored Zayn.I felt happy having him by my side and honestly didn't want him to leave me. Still, the word "mate" scares me. Am I his mate? It seems so surreal. I know how clinginess Zayn can be than anybody since we first met that night three years ago. I felt something, but it was more like protection to a kid with whom I felt close. Then again, I thought of Daniel, and Rebecca helped remind me not to fall too deep in love again. I shake my thoughts and focus on this trip. Zayn and I arrived at Baltic Sea Port this morning using teleportation.I could h

The Red Witch 41. The Child of Zayn
Zayn and I appeared at the front gate of Gauford in the country of Ferona, where one man governs, and he's the man I'm going to see."Lady Alice," Zayn grabbed my arm before I stepped."Zayn, I told you not to be so formal with me," taking his hand. "We are husband and wife now."He blushed."Well, on your terms, but once we return home, let's have a proper wedding."Then Zayn pulls a smile. "I would love that.""Okay, now let's see Merkoff and chat with him."As I approached the gate, a line of people was already going into the city. Usually, to enter one's city, one would need a gate passed with an authorized signature from a guild or someone with power. But the line isn't moving, and people who want to get through are complaining."Seems this line has not moved, Alice."I nod my head. With my palm, I magically appear a pass—my own. Since I run my domain, they shouldn't question it. But just to be so cautious. I skipped the line and approached the guards at the gates."Excuse me
The Red Witch 40. Protect What's Mine
"Zayn?" I sat up on the bed, looking at him. "My love, what is it? Why with the tears?"Suddenly talking about his time with this man name Merkoff must be an unpleasant memory. That is what got my blood boiling. My body is warm from the release of my magic. "Zayn, what did he do?"Zayn sat up but kept his head down to avoid eye contact with me. Looking at his eyes, he knows I can read him like a book.I grip his chin to face me. "Zayn, what did that man do?" I asked again, not to flash my anger towards him. His expression is distraught, and advert his eyes, his body trembling. Zayn just recently became a man, but the mind of his past is still intact. Although we did an adult thing together, and I feel like I did something inappropriate, beast people mature faster than humans. Zayn was just a child, and to think he had experienced something so horrifying and traumatic pissed me off. I got off the bed."Alice, where are you going?"I snapped a bit of my magic to dress myself fully.
The Red Witch 39. Start of the Mate Bond - part 2
The way of pleasure has overwhelmed me since the start. Zayn was not playing around when he took his sweet revenge by ramming me hard. But he made sure not to be too rough. Since he had entered me, I could only feel hot and scream. I held him tight against me as he thrust. My nails dug into his skin. It has been a while since I felt this way. With David, he was good at first at the start of our relationship, but after dating, he stopped trying to please me, and I see it as pity sex. When we have sex, the feelings from that start to fade as if he is bored looking at me, about everything about me. Like he has lost love for me. I open my eyes and look up at Zayn's perfectly sweaty complexion. All thoughts of my past relationship with David started to replace Zayn's face, and I couldn't be happier to forget David and think about the now. I pulled Zayn's face and locked lips with him. Our tongue swirl around. I moaned from the wet kiss. "I love you," I whispered in his ear. He g
The Red Witch 38. Start of the Mate Bond - part 1
Warning.Sexual Content is advised.I teleported Zayn and me to a secret place I could only access.I watched the curious wolf, confused and alarmed by this particular place. "What is this place?" He asked me. He poked a bobblehead figure and then flinched back wry at it. I created the same item when I went to New York for my second anniversary with David."This," I plopped down on my bed, relaxing. "This is my apartment."“A-part-ment?”I chuckled at his cute expression. "When I transgressed into this world and learned of my powers, I decided to create a sanctuary where I can be myself," I say, brushing my hand over the soft cushion. "I had recreated my apartment into this small space."I used a lot of my magic to make a replica of everything from my memories. Every piece of furniture, nook, cranny, and decoration is in my apartment. I want to feel like I'm back home when I'm here. But it's been a long time since I have been here. Zayn must be so confused and unfamiliar with this

Many have lost their lives during that reign.It took almost a whole year until Gorik defeated Elderon.It drove Elderon into hiding and led Gorik into a deep slumber to restore his magic.But Elderon returned to take over the humans until my grandmother stepped in and sealed him.Long story short, Elderon has yet to be defeated but is locked up.

He explains. "It seems he told of her fate.""Her fate?"Icarus then told me something unexpected. The dragon knew my mother would end up in Rozen Estate, how that bastard father would force hims
The Red Witch 36. Stories of the Past
When I asked a susceptible question about my mother's upbringing, it brought sadness to Icarus' face. It seemed another topic he wished he never wanted to discuss. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked," I told him, feeling guilty. "I just...I just wanted to know how my mother ended up at Rozen Estate." I put down my cup and clasp my hands on my lap. "I never knew my mom, but I heard from some of the maids says she was a beautiful and kind woman. She always smiles, does her work diligently, and never complains once." I wish I could meet my mom. In my other life, my other mother as a similar personality as Sylvia. I was saddened that this body had not met her mother, but I did. Sylvia died from childbirth and left poor Alice alone in a world without love. "I know you can foresee how I experience loneliness and neglect by my father." I clenched my fist. "And judging by your expression, you know I'm not from this world."For a sage like him, he should know everything, including the bey
The Red Witch 35. The Great Sage, Icarus Vladimir
I could not comprehend what I heard after I passed out again. I woke up after an hour of passing out because of the magic locked up inside me. I was reintroduced to Icarus Vladimir, known as the Great Sage. Someone who can foresee the past, present, and future. He is someone who I've wanted to meet. Someone can tell me about my grandmother, Sera, and their relationship. Just looking at the man, he looks no older than thirty. He has a face of a young man but has white hair and a beard making him look similar to Albus Dumbledore or Gandalf. But I see no wrinkles anywhere to tell he is old, but if he knew Sera, he must be over 50 years old. Sages are different from witches. Sages hold not only great power but also knowledge as well. They also possess elements and connect with element spirits who they contract with.He's a powerful Elementalist. I had never heard of this person nor read about him in books, but the gold dragon told me to seek answers from him because of his wisdom.
The Red Witch 34. I’m a Fake!
I hate feeling vulnerable.Weak, especially in front of Zayn as I confessed my honest feelings. In my past life, I never received love from my father, stepmother, and sister. After my mother died, my father remarried and abandoned me for his new family. I was left alone. That is until Grandpa Jesus saved me and took me in. Even with his age, he provided my education, a roof over my head, clothes to wear, and food to fill my stomach. Grandpa Jesus raised me until he left me. I was alone again. Then David came into my life. I thought I found happiness with him, and he loved me. But…I was blinded to falling for a guy like David. I did everything to please him. I dropped out of school to work and help with his businesses. I worked harder than he ever did. And when I had enough of wanting to break up, he apologized with expensive gifts, and his sweet words swayed me.I was stupid back then because I loved him. I gave up my dress for him and returned used me, humiliated my pride, an
The Red Witch 33. Afraid of Being Alone
My eyes snap wide open, and my body feels warm; I can feel it sweat.That dream was intense, or should I say memory. It was Sera's memories of the day she fought that evil dragon and sacrificed herself to save the world from his demise.My brain is still fizzled from seeing my grandmother's memories, but I felt I was there to see why Sera did what she did. Me.The evil dragon, Eldron, wanted my mother; still a child, to steal Alice, who wasn't born yet, as his bride. The thought of having a child bride sickens me.Who wants to marry an evil dragon obsessed with power?But Sera and the dragon mentioned a prophecy about the next Red Witch. My grandmother said that Icarus foresaw the downfall of the black dragon at the hands of the subsequent Red Witch - me.If my memories are correct, my mother, who had no magic, wasn't a redhead but blonde—more light platinum blonde, almost white. It's rare for anyone to have such hair color. If this world were a video game, platinum blonde hair wou
