“Today is your birthday and we sing to let you know…That you will be queen for the day…Whatever you say goes!”Gordon and Gabriel sang for Amanda. They pulled up the louvers and woke her up with a birthday song they usually sang for themselves. Yes, Amanda would be the queen for the day, is there any day she isn’t?Gabriel played the guitar and left most of the singing to Gordon, he had a beautiful voice. Gordon wasn’t able to tell Gabriel that he’s with Amanda when they went to get the gifts for Amanda the other day, he planned on telling him right now.Amanda was so excited, she was served breakfast in bed and was showered with all sorts of gifts. She’s very lovable and also very kind to everyone, she received lots of gifts from most members of the pack, Gordon, Gabriel, Christine, Oliver, Daisy, and Seth. It was a very beautiful day.Gabriel and Gordon had planned dinner at a fancy restaurant for the three of them.“There’s something I want to tell you… We want to tell you.”
How’re you, baby? I heard you shout last night. Did anything happen? I mean I would have come but your dad advised that I give you a little space.” Daisy said, she was leaning against the wall. She walked into Gabriel’s room to wake him to find him already woken which is totally weird, Gabriel loves his sleep and never wakes up early.“I’m fine, mom. I just talk in my sleep these days… I can’t even remember.” Gabriel said and feigned a smile.“It’s alright, wash up and come have breakfast.” Daisy said and left his room.Gabriel laid on his bed for a while before picking up his phone, he wanted to dial Minx’s number. He sighed deeply and dropped the idea and the phone too.He got off the bed and went to wash up as his mother said. All the while he was bathing, he felt the unwavering impulse to reach out to Minx, that was all he thought of. When he finished from the bathroom and put in his clothes, he sat on his bed again.He took a deep breath and muttered something to himself “if th
“Aunt Gina… I tried the spell last night, it worked but I couldn’t see his face. I only heard his voice and it seemed like it was running away from me, I ran after it but it was long gone by then. Did I do anything wrong?” Minx asked.“Uhmm.. I don’t think so, I set everything up for you and it was perfect, I’ll look it up but don’t stop trying. Maybe this time, you should believe in it more.” Gina said and smiled at her.“Okay…” Minx said. Gina was about leaving when Minx stopped her. She wasn’t sure if she should ask the question or not but she decided to; “Do you think my mom would ever forgive me?” Minx asked, innocently. Gina had betrayed her before and now, her own daughter. She imagined her mother would be in pain but she didn’t know whether to believe it or not. Mrs. Jackson was so cold when she kicked Minx out of the house. Maybe she’s used to cruelty and doesn’t know any other way.“I hope… I don’t think she has forgiven me either but everyone has a soft spot. I believe th
Minx stood, facing the wall. She hoped the spell worked, the waiting seemed endless but she was ready to wait.“Minx!” Gabriel’s voice called out. She stood still, thinking that she heard the voice in her head. The voice called out again and this time, she decided to turn around, she had prepared for the worst.“Gabriel, can you see me?” Minx asked when she turned around and saw Gabriel, it wasn’t just his voice, she could see him. She wanted to be sure that he could see her too.“Minx, I’ve missed you so much,” Gabriel said as he walked toward her and hugged her tightly. Minx forgot all about her plan to make him think that she doesn’t love him. She hugged him too. They didn’t want to let go of each other.“This is the best dream I've had all my life. It really is you, Minx.” Gabriel said as he pulled out from the hug and held her face. The next place his eyes went to was her belly. It was still flat like always.He didn’t need to say anything, Minx understood what he meant; “the ba
“And Minx, there’s something you need to know.” Gina said. She looked serious.“What’s that?” Minx asked as she wiped the tears off her face. She had decided to call her mom later, at least, she knows that she doesn't despise her as she thought.“You may not like to hear this.” Gina said but she continued anyway.“I don’t think you can perform that spell again. I think it comes with a curse. Each time it works, you’ll be taking Gabriel closer to his death bed.” Gina said.“Wh-What? H-How? I…I do-don’t understand.” Minx stuttered. She didn’t understand what her aunt meant by that. Drawing him closer to his death bed? What the fuck does that mean?“Every spell demands a sacrifice and the sacrifice needed depends on the kind of spell. You are invoking him to the unreal world which is very close to the land of the dead. Each time you do that, you’re taking him closer to his end. I’m sure that he would be sick as we speak. You must not do that again, it’s dangerous.” Gina explained.“B-But
“So Gabriel is still keeping in touch with this witch. I hope she’s not responsible for this, else, I’ll send her back to Hades where she crawled out from.” Daisy muttered.Daisy answers the call and says nothing. Minx says nothing too, she feels something is off. Daisy didn’t want to play stupid games with her, Minx must have figured out that Gabriel isn’t the person at the other end.“What have you done to my son? I hope you’re happy now. How many times did I tell you to keep your filthy devilish hands off Gabriel! You better hide, Minx because if I set my eyes on you, you’d be sorry for existing.” Daisy threatened at the top of her voice before hanging up.Seth, Amanda, and Gordon rushed to where she stood. “What did she say?” Seth asked. He hugged her because she was trembling, ever since her incident with Katrina, it’s impossible to see wolf-blood witches as anything more than demons or the devil himself.“She said nothing.” Daisy said briskly.“Calm down… Calm down.” Seth consol
Gordon heaved a deep sigh, he was scared and embarrassed at the same time. Amanda would probably hate him after finding out what he did but he had to tell her anyhow.“Come on, spill,” Amanda said as she sat on the bed close to Gordon. She held his face, raised it, and kissed him; “I won’t judge, I promise.” Amanda said.“Oh, hell yea you wouldn’t judge. You’d be too terrified and forget this promise.” Gordon thought to himself.“I killed Stephen..” Gordon said. He paused for a while and studied Amanda's expression before he continued. “I didn’t mean to. I was so angry that I didn’t know when to let go. I just wanted to teach him a lesson, I mean, he almost raped you and I couldn’t have that. “I know that nothing I say or do would bring him back but I truly regret my actions and I wish I could go back to that day, I’ll do things differently.” Gordon said. He fought back the tears that made their way to his eyes. Since the incident, his conscience had been haunting him tirelessly.
“Amanda!” Gordon called out. She didn’t stop, she kept walking away angrily. Gordon ran after her until she finally stopped. “This is a curse. I want to be free from it, I just wish you can understand. All my life, I’ve clung to the possibility of getting rid of the pain that comes with turning on the full moon. Okay, that aside, what if I’m in trouble, how will I defend myself?” Amanda said. She hoped Gordon would take pity on her and help her out.“When Gabriel recovers, we’d talk about this. If you’re able to convince him, fine.” Gordon said and hugged her. She didn’t push him away, she just stood still.**“Gabriel, you got me worried. I was so scared that you would die. Are you sure you’re okay now?” Daisy said as she helped Gabriel up.It was morning and Dr. Bennett called Daisy to inform her about Gabriel’s improvement. Daisy and Seth were so elated when they heard this, without hesitation, Daisy fled to Dr. Bennett’s quarters.Gabriel was awake and his body returned to norma
