“Minx? Can you hear me? Minx?” Dr. Bennett called out as she pointed a torch in her eyes but didn’t see any form of constriction in her pupils, a defense mechanism the eyes have to protect the retina from too much light.“She’s gone. Whatever this is, it would continue and there’s no telling to what extent it would go. I think we have to invite a witch expert.” Dr. Bennett said.“B-But most of the witches live in a group at Boston. How would that be possible?” Seth said as he finally handed the baby over to Daisy.“I know one or two people.” Dr. Bennett said.“Okay, get on with it, right now. I need to be sure that the wolf blood witches are not at their second attempt to harm this baby.” Seth said.**This time, Minx’s soul was conjured to the coven of the wolf blood witches. Gina had been trying to bring Minx to the tomb but something kept blocking it. According to them, Minx had committed a grave sin again the confraternity and must face her judgment. The high priestess had alread
“He’s here! He’s here!” Dr. Bennett said in excitement as he rushed to meet the witch outside and ushered him in.Daisy and Seth looked at him skeptically because he wasn’t what they expected. He was a little boy! He looked between the ages of nine to twelve. Daisy was annoyed that Dr. Bennett was playing with such a delicate matter.“What’s the meaning of this? You brought a child?” Daisy said.“Yes, he’s a child but the kind of power that he wields is out of this world.” Dr. Bennett said.“Whatever it takes to save Minx. Let’s get on with it already.” Seth said.“What’s wrong with the girl?” The little boy said.“If you are as powerful as he said you are, you should know.” Daisy said.The boy just looked at her and removed his gaze from her and turned it to Minx.“She just put to birth and I think her people are after her baby. But I wonder why they have her under their clutches, it’s the baby they want.” Dr. Bennett said.“So you would rather they had the child, right? Sometimes, y
“I need to go inside her head. Their demands are too much.” Matthew said.“Whatever you have to do,” Seth said.“Okay then,” Matthew said. His hands were still on Minx’s forehead. **“Let’s go. Your family is waiting.” Matthew said, the moment he saw Minx.“Who are you?” Minx said.“I’ve been helping you all this time. We don’t have time for this. Hold my hands and let’s get out of here.” Matthew said.“Come on, walk in. Let’s see if you really are our kind.” Penelope said.“Let’s go now!” Matthew said.“Can’t they see you?” Minx said, wondering why neither Gina nor Penelope had said anything about the little boy standing beside her.“I can only be seen by whom I choose. Now, take my hand.” Matthew said.“Come on, Minx. You don’t need to chant a spell to come into the tomb, it should come naturally as a wolf blood witch that you are.” Penelope said.Minx knew what would befall her if she made the mistake of stepping into the tomb. She didn’t also know if this little boy was another
“Oh really? That's great news, brother. Congratulations, I’m happy for you.” Gordon said.“Yeah, thanks, man. I can’t wait to see him, and Minx too. Will you go with me? I’m going tomorrow.” Gabriel said.“Sure! Anything for the youngest father in town!” Gordon said as he popped the champagne that Gabriel had bought earlier for the celebration.“Amanda will come too, right?” Gabriel said.“Sure, I’ll tell her right away.” Gordon said and picked up his phone to dial Amanda’s number.“Heyy… Amanda, what’s up?” Gordon shouted a little so that Amanda could hear him as the music in the background was loud.“Something's up, Gordon. I don’t know how it happened but Richard is dead and Marcus, is in critical condition.” Amanda panicked.“What?! Why are you just telling me? How did this happen?” Gordon said.“I was going to call you before you did. His parents just arrived from their vacation and saw them both lying lifeless on the ground. It’s been two days since they were in that state. The
“What’s wrong? You two don’t seem as excited as me.” Amanda said as they drove down to their pack house.“Everything is fine, Amanda. Thanks for asking.” Gabriel said hurriedly. The last thing he wanted was for Gordon to say a word about what happened yesterday. Amanda would seriously scold him.“Sure?” Amanda said, turning to Gordon.“Yeah, yeah… We’re good. I’m just nervous to see the baby, yunno.” Gordon said.“If I didn't grow up with the both of you, I would have believed these flimsy lies. Now, start talking. Today is supposed to be a happy day, I don’t want your stupid fights to ruin this day for me and my Godchild. Okay? I’m serious, start talking.” Amanda said.“Gabriel, go first.” Amanda said.There was no need for Gabriel to pretend anymore, Amanda could read them like a book. He also didn’t want to lie.“I messed up yesterday. I uhhh I… had sex with someone else. I’m not proud of it and Gordon has refused to speak to me since then.” Gabriel said.“Okay… What about you, Gor
“You’re back, West. How are you you? Did you find her?” Wendy said the moment she saw West entering the house. She was seated outside, close to the entrance of the door.West had been away for a week. He didn’t seem as happy as he was when he embarked on the journey. Wendy could guess the outcome of the search but she allowed him to speak.“I couldn’t find her. She isn’t in their records.” West said.“How do you mean? How do you know that?” Wendy said.“I checked the date that Roman took my child away. If he put her in an orphanage, it would have been there. I cross-checked all the dates of admission but none of them seemed.m close. The closest one to the date when my daughter was taken away was a year after and it would impossible for Roman to have the child in his custody for a whole year. Except he killed her, to punish me eternally.” West said as tears rolled down his eyes.“Come on, West. Don’t cry, we’ll fix this. There’s no need to lose hope now.” Wendy said.“But the earlier I
“It appears so. I can no longer perform magic. I kinda like it but I’m scared for him.” Minx said.“S-so… are your people, after him? Do they know what our child is?” Gabriel said.“Yes, they know… they have tried to kill him once. That was immediately after his birth.” Minx said as they walked into the house.“So how can we protect him against them? I’m sure they will try again.” Gabriel said, getting worried.“Your parents and I have handled it already, he’s safe in the pack house. That boundary spell in the house and his room is enough.” Minx said.“But what if they find another means to get to him?” Gabriel said.“Babe… it’s a happy day, focus on the positive things.” Minx said.“I just want to make sure that our son is safe. I will not forgive myself if anything happens to him.” Gabriel said.“Jordan is under your parent’s supervision. No harm can come to him.” Minx assured him.“That’s right. I was just overthinking.” Gabriel said.“Yeah… Everything will be fine.” Minx said and
“Why are they so scared of extermination? Wolf blood witches weren’t supposed to be in the first place. This bloodline was formed as a result of a forbidden love affair between a werewolf and a witch.” Gabriel said. He had an expression that Minx wasn’t familiar with.“I know this story already. What exactly are you driving at?” Minx said.“What if the wolf blood witches grew to love their hybrid nature, as opposed to when they were newly made and as such forbade any form of romantic relationships or even familiarity with werewolves because they feel that if they procreate, their line will be undone? Just like it’s happening.” Gabriel said.“So what you are saying is that the rule against werewolves and Wolf blood witches being together is just a precautionary measure to protect their hybrid nature? That doesn’t make any sense, Gabriel. That’s very funny.” Minx said and started laughing.“It’s not funny. This is an interesting theory.” Gabriel said.“Yeah, you win. I’m laughing. Thank
