The Larinth?” Daisy repeated in confusion.

“I’m sure you don’t know what that means, you can ask Seth.” Roman said, and signaled a guard to bring Seth closer.

Seth heard everything that Roman said, all his father ever told him about the Larinth is “it should never fall into the wrong hands because once upon a time, it was a killing machine.”

Seth never really knew of the importance of the Larinth, he was just blindly keeping to his father’s words and now, this absurd request of Roman’s gave him deep concern. If Roman wants it, it had to be very important.

Roman, who is known for his expertise in enslaving a pack to become the sole alpha of all packs just suddenly abandons his goals for the Larinth? That didn’t make any sense at all to Seth, or did he just take pity on Daisy? Impossible! Roman was incapable of doing that, he only has a soft spot for his daughter, Freya.

Seth had a plan, but he feared that Roman wouldn’t buy it. It was worth the shot anyways.

“Go on… Ask him.” Roman sa

    “What’s wrong?” Oliver asked as he crossed paths with Seth who was coming from the gate. It is a separate building from the pack house, designed solely for the safekeeping of the Larinth.The Larinth being one of the things Seth’s father entrusted to his care, he didn’t enlighten him much about it because he didn’t feel the need to. It’s been dormant for several years ever since the incident with its inventor, Darin.The story used to be passed on to children of the next generation but Seth’s father failed to pass it on to him. If Roman finds out that Seth played him, things would get out of hand, he’d probably do something worse than burning them alive.Seth was devastated by this development that he didn’t hear Oliver speak to him.“Seth!” Oliver said for the fifth time, tapping him and Seth collected his thoughts and replied.“Hey, Oli” Seth said, feigning a weak smile.Oliver knew him too well, he was certain that something is up, something serious.“What’s wrong?” Oliver asked fo

    “I’m so sorry, Seth. I feel so ashamed for my actions. I shouldn’t have sided with Freya, I should have stood by you and fought with you when you lost your dad, I shouldn’t have let Roman get to me.Please my son, forgive me.” Klara pleaded with tears flowing from her eyes, she was deeply sorry for her actions and if given the opportunity to take back the hands of time, she would do things differently.Seth and Oliver weren’t the least moved by her tears, they didn’t want to consider the possibility that she may be truly sorry, they weren’t there to repair their broken relationship, they were there for answers but with the looks of things, they wouldn’t get the answers they sought without forgiving her first.“There’s no need for that, we are here for something different,” Seth said, pulling her away from his legs which she held so firmly as she wailed and begged shamelessly.A few moments later, Dan got down on his knees too and joined his mother to beg for forgiveness.“I know she w

    “Yes, and Elijah too,” Seth said, burying his face in his hands.“That is not good…” Kara said, obviously worried.“And Roman would burn the pack house down if he doesn’t get it by tomorrow. You know how Roman is, he’d do it.” Oliver said.“You should leave here, inform the pack, you all have to flee… Roman would not stop until you all are dead. When you all get to a safe place, you can track Elijah and the Larinth down.“Where would we go to? We’ve lived here all our lives. We have no place to go.” Oliver complained.“I have a place, in Italy. My company owns several estates there; we can use one for the meantime.” Seth said.“Thank you, aunt Klara, see you,” Oliver said as he hugged Klara.“Bye, aunt Klara. I hope you stay healthy” Seth said as he kissed her right cheek. He knew he was asking for the impossible, Klara was terminal and he may never see her again.They both left the house, Seth felt a lot lighter, all these years, he had been carrying the grudge. But then, he paused f

    There was a knock on the door and immediately they knew it was time to leave. Seth gave Daisy a kiss on her forehead and moved to check who was at the door, it was William. “The car is ready outside, it’s time to leave”“I’ll get Gabriel.” Daisy said as Williams moved their already packed bags downstairs.They got to the car, there were two SUVs for Seth’s and Oliver’s family, two coastal buses for the rest of the pack members.They drove down to the airport, it was about 8:45 pm at the time. Seth had already made early arrangements and without wasting much time, they got boarded on the plane and set off to Italy.It was a smooth and sad journey, Daisy held Gabriel’s hands firmly due to his fear for heights. After eight hours of flying, the plane landed in Bologna. They moved to one of the estates under Seth’s name in the city, he’s into real estate management and has a handful of buildings in several cities in the world. Seth is very wealthy but he never shows it, he can afford all

    “What do you mean? Oliver asked, dropping the glass of wine he was holding.“What I just said. Elijah is not a member of this pack… How come he was made the gatekeeper to the great gate?” Seth asked, devastatingly.“Shit!” Oliver cussed.“This is gonna be a very long chase and we have no idea where to start from,” Seth said, cupping his face with his hands, he did that mostly when he was in a fix.“We’re in this together, brother,” Oliver said, reassuring Seth.“First off, we have to look into each person that has been a gatekeeper in the past, from my little findings, the O’Neills have been appointed three times,” Seth said.“We should start this investigation immediately, the Larinth must not be tampered with,” Oliver said.**“Mommy… I want to see Gabriel, it’s been a while.” Gordon said to Christine. Since they moved into the new house a week ago, she hadn’t let Gordon step out of the room, she was surveying the surrounding, looking out for places she’d mark as a “no-no” for Gor

    “Wolf blood witches? What’s that?” Seth asked, expressing his confusion.Christine sat by a corner, crying her eyes out. “My baby’s gonna die.” She wailed.“What?” Both Seth and Oliver said.All through their conversation, not once did they consider the possibility of death but Christine was so sure that he’d die. There had to be something she wasn’t saying.“I almost forgot… The premonition…” Christine fell to the ground.“What’s wrong? What did you almost forget?” Oliver asked, helping her up from the ground while Seth carried Gordon to Dr. Bennett’s quarters. Seth brought him along in case of emergencies like this.“This is not exactly a great way to celebrate our anniversary.” Christine said, with a weak smile.“Come on, baby… Tell me.” Oliver said and kissed her forehead.“Well, it’s like an occult group. They grant solution to every problem, my parents wanted a child so bad that they consulted them. I was born after, when I was six, they wanted me back for some big ritual.My pa

    Seth and Oliver were surprised, but Oliver wasn’t so surprised, Christine had briefed him earlier.“Father, don’t you think we should proceed with the specification?” Oliver asked, a bit skeptical.“No, not yet.” Father Benjamin said with a brief chuckle. He seemed so calm about it.The little boy was on the verge of losing his life but he wasn’t shaken at all. As if he had absolute faith that he’d be alright.“Katrina is quite tricky but she can’t fool me. This is just a show, the real deal hasn’t begun yet. They are night walkers and do not have the ability to perpetuate any evil during the day. We’ll wait till then.” Father Benjamin said.As he dabbed a white piece of cloth with water he got from a small container. It had the sign of the cross on it, no doubt it was holy water.“Who is Katrina?” Oliver asked.“Katrina… She’s the current regent. Each year, a blood sacrifice is required, mostly from the benefactors of their evil services.I've tried to reach out to a lot of people to

    Katrina groaned loudly as she failed the second time. Nothing seemed to be working, he just kept growing stronger.No priest had ever turned her down, she dominated them all and that’s why her power kept growing.“Be gone, Satan, inventor and master of all deceit, enemy of man's salvation.“Give place to Christ in Whom you have found none of your works; give place to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church acquired by Christ at the price of His Blood.“Stoop beneath the all-powerful Hand of God; tremble and flee when we invoke the Holy and terrible Name of Jesus, this Name which causes hell to tremble, this Name to which the Virtues, Powers and Dominations of heaven are humbly submissive, this Name which the Cherubim and Seraphim praise unceasingly repeating: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord, the God of Hosts.” Fr. Benjamin was able to recite all the prayers and in the process, regained control over his body, he picked his bible and showed it to her, he knew it had an effect on her

    Gabriel stood on the grand staircase of the pack house, from there he saw all his pack members and all his guests from other packs that were invited by his very capable event planner.“Attention please” Gabriel said clanging on his glass and the whole room turned as he dragged their attention.“For almost two decades and a half, we have fought for our lands, for our freedom, for our existence and in that process we have lost our brothers, sister, fathers, mothers and even our children, today we honor those who have gone before us, the ones who have been sacrificed for this great cause. This celebration today will be imprinted on the mind of those that weren't able to bury their loved ones, those that were not able to see their loved ones at the last hour of their death. This is to all fallen members of the blood moon pack and to all dead werewolves. Cheers” Gabriel said raising his glass and clanging of glasses filled the hall.

    “This isn't working, are you sure you are saying the words right William?” Damian said looking frustrated.“We’ve been at it all day, I don't know why you and Mama Wendy insisted I do the spell when you both know that salt burns me” William said looking more frustrated than Damian.“You can do it William just focus and stop allowing Damian talk you out of it” Jordan said as he sat lazily on an arm chair reading a book.“Please do it, I'm trying to talk you into it and not the other way around. I’ve not seem my princess in hours” Damian saidtaking a sit on the other chair in the room.“I could call Randall if that would help” Jordan said seeing that William was getting no inspiration from him and Damian that were with him in the room.“But Mama Wendy insisted...” William said before Jordan cut him off.“Mama Wendy is not here, I am” Jordan said and picked up his phone.“Randall, get to the attic now” Jordan said and after some few minutes, Randall came busting through the door.“Wher

    “What took you guys so long? We’ve been waiting for hours” Damian said meeting Ashley and Louis at the staircase.“We encountered some obstacles” Louis said scratching the back of his head and a funny smile on his face.“What obstacles?” Damian said even if he knew they were lying.“Why did i even ask?” He said and and walked away taking the bowl from them and walked towards the reliquary where Wendy, Jordan and William were waiting patiently.“Finally, those love birds are back” Jordan said as he stood up lazily from the chair he sat on.“You wouldn’t have sent those two, i told you they were going to spend eternity there” Damian said as he cleared the table for the spell.“You and Juliette would have done the same or even worse, it wasn't Louis and Ashley that made out in a dragon cave is it?” Jordan said teasingly and William laughed hard at Damian’s facial expression.“Good one Jordan” Damian said nodding his head.“Anything you wanna do about it?” Jordan said with a smile on his

    “Whoa!! That was intense” Louis said panting heavily as he tried to catch his breath.“I told you that it was going to be a good one” Ashley said helping him buckle up his trousers that was a little bit below his waist line.“You don't need to do that, I can handle it” Louis said holding her hand to let him go but she didn't.“I insist” she said and he stated at her strangely. “Ashley, it is so unlike you to insist to do something for me, did I do something wrong? Did you not enjoy the moment we had?” Louis said looking worried but she only smiled.“None of that, I just realized something wrong about our relationship on and I'm only trying to make it right” she said looking up at him with a casual smile.“What do you mean by wrong? I see nothing wrong with us” Louis said looking confused.“It's a lot of things Louis and it's all my fault” she said looking at him with a sad expression.“Come on baby, talk to me, hmm” Louis said placing kisses on her lips in hopes to convince her to sh

    “He made the poison himself so it will have to be somewhere in his journal” Wendy said as soon as the idea popped up in her head.“And how do we get this journal?” William said looking worried.“We don't need to get it because I have it” Wendy said bringing it out from one of the drawers in her table.“So cool” Damian said as she handed the book over to him to go through it and find out what the poison was.“This is the sign of the poison is this. In humans, it affects the blood and the brain while in werewolves, it affects the healing system and prevents the werewolf from being able to heal themselves from what is killing the body” Wendy said as she handed over a piece of paper where the sign was drawn over to Damian.“And how many years ago did this affect her?” Damian said.“Ten years ago” Jordan replied and Damian continued searching.“This is it” Damian said holding a particular page and he looked up at Jordan with weird eyes.“What is it Damian?” Jordan said bracing himself for

    The sounds of howling, growls and barking filled the field where the wolf blood witches have lying on since the sun went down, the spell was complete and Jordan’s work was done. He succeeded in turning a hundred and thirty five wolf blood witches into pure blooded witches, completely removing their witch part completely. “They may know spells and portions recipe but they will never be able to perform any form of spells anymore” Wendy said as she looked down at them from where the balcony where they all stood.“I know that feeling but mine was much of satisfaction than pain because I gave it to the only person I wanted to have it” Minx said as she smiled at Jordan and he returned the smile at her.“They should be alright by morning, I will recruit them all to the pack under probation and if they do not cause any trouble in the next six months, we can consider them pack members” Gabriel said looking down at them, they were both women, men and teenagers all part of the quest that Penelo

    “What’s your idea mother?” Jordan said waiting to hear her response.“I had you and my powers were transferred to you, why don't you find a way to remove the witchcraft abilities of this people and leaving them with only their wolf to rely on. They will feel like they will be destroyed by the new development but they would eventually adapt to it and we will accept them all as pack members, that way they will want to stay alive” Minx said over the phone.“So what if they die in the process?” Jordan said with concern.“They won’t die, Penelope didn't die when she lost her magic, she only became powerless” Jasmine said in the background.“Hear that?” Minx said.“Yes I did” Jordan said.“Alright Jordan, whatever you are doing, do it fast because i don't think this people will remain like this forever. If one of them eventually snap out of it, the others will” Minx said looking out if the window and down to where they stood.“Yes Mother” Jordan said and dropped the call.“Jordan, William i
