Minx could not believe what Gabriel said. It was both good and bad news. It was good because it’s what she had always wanted; acceptance, she hated being perceived as evil and the devil. And it also meant more protection, Gabriel had told her about the story of his parents encounter with her kind. She understood where the hatred was from. But the bad news was that her parents would never allow it, all her parents knew about her pregnancy was that it is from a werewolf and they don’t care to know who. Chances are, they want nothing to do with the father of her child and have taken it upon themselves to raise Minx’s child. But Minx would never know until she tells them.“Uhhh… I’m not sure about that. I told you before, that I don’t want to complicate things. Maybe it was a mistake asking to meet up with you.” Minx said.“Please, don’t say that, Minx. We have missed out on ourselves so much and we want to be together, I want to be with you, I want to be involved in your life and that o
“What took you so long? Your food must have gotten cold already. Eat up, you don’t wanna starve the baby.” Mrs. Jackson said and they both laughed it off.Minx was not hungry at the moment because of how much her body ached for Gabriel. But there was no way she could leave without eating, her mother would not allow it. She ate a little quantity of food and took some fruits with her so that when she becomes hungry, she would eat them and give Gabriel too.“I’ve had my fill, mom. I’ll be in my room.” Minx said as she stood up.“Yunno, when I was pregnant, I always ate at odd times, I would send your father out in the middle of the night to get me crabs, where would he find such at such an hour? But he did get me everything I wanted. I stocked the fridge, feel free to take anything you please.” Mrs. Jackson said with a big smile.“Thank you, mom.” Minx said and turned to leave.“Good night, Minx.” Mr. Jackson said.“Good night, dad. Good night, mom. See you two tomorrow. Mom, I’m going s
“I won't let you do this, I can’t put my boy’s life at risk. There’s no guarantee that Roman still has your daughter.” Wendy said.“The only reason I agreed to meet with you is because of the respect I have for you. Don’t try to dissuade me from my plans because it won’t work, I’ll get Darin back, tell your son or whoever he is to not be a stumbling block because I will crush him.” West threatened.“How foolish you are. You really think that if you hand Darin over to Roman, he’d give you back your child? What makes you think that he kept her alive all these years? Roman does not give a shit about anybody but his daughter. Give me one reason why he would keep your daughter safe and alive this long when it’s in his habit to slaughter people. Wendy said.“You are just saying all these to protect your son. If it were someone else, you would have supported me. Here’s what you can do to save his ass, just have him hand Darin over to me.” West said.“You’re not thinking right, go home, West.
“Peter, I beg you. Please, listen to me, I’m only trying to protect you. West is a powerful witch and he won’t back down without a fight. You won’t win, Peter, your grandmother asked me to protect you, please, help me to help you.” Wendy pleaded but it all fell on deaf ears.“I called to ask if you know any witch who is a time walker. Darin and I are working on something.” Peter said, ignoring all that Wendy said.“Why won’t you listen to me? What do you want with the vampire? Just hand him over! West will find you and when he does, I cannot help you then.” Wendy said.“He won’t find me if you don’t tell him where I am. So, it’s up to you.” Peter said.“You never listen, Peter. Why do you love endangering your life? You are making things difficult for me. Please, just listen for once.” Wendy said.“I’m sorry, aunt Wendy. But please, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m sure that West or whatever you call him wants nothing good with Darin. I took the risk of healing him and you just
Gabriel and Gordon struggled with all their might and skills but they could not beat William, he was always a step ahead.They fought and fought until they exhausted all their energy.“You are the King, Uncle William. I swear my allegiance to you.” Gordon said. Gabriel and William laughed.“You two are getting better. Gabriel gave me a cut on my arm.” William said as he rolled up his sleeve to reveal the injury he sustained.“I wanted to do more.” Gabriel said as he fell to the ground.“And you will, consistency is all you need. A tine will come when you would be able to defend yourselves properly but till then, I’ll keep taking the victory.” William said and walked away leaving them panting heavily on the soft green grass.“We will never be able to beat him, will we?” Gordon said.“Don’t answer that,” he added.As they lay on the grass, they saw Seth approach them, and immediately, they got up and cleaned themselves up.“Good morning, dad” Gabriel said.“Good morning, uncle Seth.”
“I’m pleased to meet you, Minx. How’re you?” Seth said.“I’m fine, thank you, sir. This place is very beautiful.” Minx replied with a big smile. Gabriel had arranged a picnic in one of the finest spots in the town. Minx was seated next to Gabriel and Seth, opposite.Seth was glad that Minx agreed to meet up with him, he tried to be as accommodating as possible so as not to scare her away, besides, his intentions toward her were pure.“How’s the baby doing?” Seth said as his eyes trailed down to her protruding belly.“Oh, he’s fine.” Minx said as she placed her hand on her belly and smiled.“How do you know it’s a boy?” Seth said and smiled briefly.“A witch doctor told me.” Minx said.“Okay, that’s nice.” Seth said. But from the look on his face, it was obvious that he was not comfortable with the witch doctor thingy. Minx noticed this and tried to explain further.“It’s normal, more like a tradition. Just to know the sex of the unborn child, I know it’s possible with technology but
“When will you bring Darin to me? Is it possible to really possible to raise someone from the dead?” Roman said.“Nothing is impossible. All I need is the right spell, I’m waiting for the book to come to me.” West lied. He was stalling because he was still trying to locate Peter. There was no way he could do a locator spell because he had never seen Peter nor did he possess any of his belongings.“What book?” Roman said.“Oh, it’s a book of spells, mostly ancient spells. It goes to each witch in the city, it stays for a certain period and then goes to another. Witches should stay in colonies to reduce the duration of the cycle.” West explained.“That’s cool. I can exercise a little patience till it gets here, but I hope it can do what you say it can.” Roman said.“Yes, your highness.” West said and was dismissed.West did not know how else to blackmail Wendy into giving Peter’s location up. He had tried several means but to no avail. He had given Roman his word and he better keep to
“I know I’ve been hard on you. And I know that you are aware of how much I love you. You know how much your father and I waited to have you and you know how much we cherish you.” Daisy said. She turned off the television and turned toward Gabriel sitting right beside her.“I was so angry at you because you did not understand the gravity of what you had done. But now, I understand that mistakes happen, and getting angry over them is not going to fix it or make it any better. This opened a wound that I thought had become a scar, you know the story, I don’t want to tell it again.“Your father wants to do right by Minx and I know you want that too. I remember how your father’s people were against our union, I hated it and I swore that I would never act like that toward my child. But here I am, refusing to accept your child, I have let the anger and bitterness in me stop me from fulfilling the promise I made to myself.“I’m sorry, Gabriel. I agree with your father, we should do right by Mi
