“I’m sorry, friend but I’m quite desperate. If you still fail to meet my requests and your friend dies, I’ll announce this valuable piece of information I have to everyone, especially your adversaries, the wolf blood witches.” Darin said.Minx shook in terror as she looked at Darin, the blood-hungry monster with blood all around his mouth and shirt. He looked like he enjoyed preying on William.“Even if you kill the entire pack, that boy knows nothing of his powers. He doesn’t know that he’s a witch. He’s still a little boy.” Oliver said.“Please, leave us alone. We can’t help you, your wife died a century ago. There’s no way to see her. Stop this illusion.” Daisy said.“Until you are blamed for the murder of someone you value so much, you will not understand how I feel.” Darin said.“B-But no one blames you today, this is a new generation and we don’t know you except what we see on the papers that people don’t even read anymore.” Daisy said.“I…I know but I miss her so much. Eternit
“Hey dear. How about you and I go for a little sightseeing at the park? I promise it’ll be fun.” Seth said.“Really? We’re going out?” Jordan said most excitedly.“Yes, we are. Now get dressed.” Seth said.Jordan jumped off the bed and into his closet to pick up some clothes.“Is this okay, grandpa? What about this?” Jordan would say as he brought out different shirts and pants that didn’t seem to match.“Let me help you there.” Seth said and helped him pick an outfit.“I think we’re ready. I’ll tell you a story.” Seth said.“I love stories! Can we get ice cream too?” Jordan said.“Of course. Whatever you want.” Jordan got dressed and through the back door, they left the house.“Grandpa! Grandpa! Tell me the story. Can you help me bring down the glass? I’d like to feel the breeze.” Jordan said.“Okay, but don’t stick your head out.” Seth said.“I’ll begin the story now. Once upon a time, a family was blessed with a very beautiful son. They wanted him to grow up like other children hi
“Can I ask a question?” Jordan said.“Of course you can.” Gabriel said.“Why did you give me the pendant? Is it because my powers are forbidden or because I stole mommy’s powers?” Jordan said.“Baby. My people, the wolf blood witches are mostly bad people. It’s just mommy and her family that are good. The rest of them want you dead because it’s your destiny to erase them. You are good and they are bad. They are jealous of how powerful you are.” Minx said.“Okay, mommy. So that means that I’ll see second grandma soon.” Jordan said.“Yes, baby. She will teach you how to control your powers so you won’t need to wear the pendant everywhere anymore and also prepare you for a very important assignment.” Minx said.“Okay. Actually, this sounds so cool. The good guys against the bad guys. I’m so happy that I’m on the good side.” Jordan said. “Thank you for understanding, baby.” Minx said and hugged him.“Grandpa, Can I go to school now?” Jordan said excitedly.“As soon as you’re able to defe
Mom… there’s something I’d like to tell you. Please, don’t cut me until I finish.” Minx said.“Before you begin. Tell me what to get you and let me also inform your father that you are here.” Mrs. Jackson said as she stood up.“Anything is fine but I’ll have it as soon as I finish speaking.” Minx said.“Nonsense. Whatever it is can wait. I haven’t seen you in months, the least I can do is offer you something. Don’t worry, I won’t take long.” Mrs. Jackson said.“Mom, Jordan is alive. We faked his death to protect him.” Minx said almost hurriedly.Mrs. Jackson turned her gaze to Minx and noticed how serious Minx was. Why would she joke with something as delicate as that anyways? “Wh-What? H-how? Bu…but you said he died. He…he didn’t survive the attack from our people. You told me, I mourned him, your father and I mourned him. I felt terrible that I could not help to protect him.“Mom, I’m sorry. I just had to lie, the fewer the people that are aware that he’s still alive, the better. I
“Hello, Seth Oscar. I just came to see if you are holding up to your end of the bargain. Remember, you have three months to deliver the package if not, you know what happens. I’m watching you.” Darin said.“Darin, please you can’t be showing up like this. We have agreed to prepare our son for this. The time is not up yet. What if someone sees you here?” Gabriel said.“You are in no position whatsoever to tell me where I should and should not be doing. Besides, you were the one that broke our friendship when you bluntly refused to help me. Violence has always been the fastest means to reaching our goals, I wonder why I didn’t figure this out sooner.” Darin said.“To speed things up, I brought you a witch to teach the little boy the spells he needs to help me. Just to be thorough, of course.” Darin said.“You can come out now.” Darin said.Wendy came out from the corner where she stood, shaking. She was terrified by Darin’s presence.“Matthew! Come out. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.” D
“He’s fine. I just drew his power to create a shield so that when we take off the pendant tomorrow, the wolf blood witches wouldn’t sense him.” Wendy said.“Well, you should have given us a heads up. I was scared to death.” Daisy said.“I’m sorry, please forgive me.” Wendy said.“It’s alright. So, what are we gonna do now?” Daisy said.“Just take him to bed. He needs to sleep to regain his strength, he’ll feel better tomorrow.” Wendy said.“Don’t pull a stunt like that again without giving a heads up.” Seth said as he carried Jordan inside.“I’m sorry.” Wendy said and left.It was the next morning, Jordan had already woken up and prepared for practice.“Mom, dad, I’m ready. Let’s have breakfast before I leave.” Jordan said with excitement.They woke up and had breakfast with Jordan just as he requested. When they were done, Jordan went to the garage, Matthew was already waiting for him.“You are late.” Matthew said as he stood facing the wall with his hands crossed at his back.“But y
“You can’t be serious, Minx. I didn’t say we wouldn’t get married, we would one day. I’m just not ready, I have to submit this project before the month ends, why can’t you understand?” Gabriel said.“I’ll understand you when you stop putting yourself first. Jordan deserves a happy family.” Minx said.“Oh, don’t make this about Jordan. This is you being selfish and manipulative, why else would you turn this into a court case?” Gabriel said.“Who’s talking about court cases? Don’t tell me you’re intimidated by my success.” Minx said.“What’s gotten over you, Minx? Why are you putting words in my mouth? Why would I be intimidated by your success like I’m not successful.” Gabriel said, he was getting angry.“I’m sorry but I just want you to decide for us. I want to be with you forever, let’s just seal this. We have been sweethearts long before Gordon and Amanda but they got married last week, and we’re still unsure about ourselves.” Minx said.“Oh, I see where this is coming from. No need
“Ahhh! Ahhh!” Minx screamed with all her might as she ran away from the hefty men that chased her. She just stumbled upon a stone and started bleeding but she could not stop, they looked like they wanted to kill her.“Give us the slayer of the wolf with the blood of the witch.” They would say in unison from time to time.Minx could not understand why they would want such from her, she didn’t know what they meant by that and it didn’t even like a good idea to stop to reason things with them.They held knives and swords and axes like they were going for war. They were wolf-blood witches, she recognized their scent. But what did they mean by the slayer of the wolf with the blood of the witch? It didn’t make any sense, at least not to her. All she wanted to do was get back home and have a warm bath and sleep for a very long time because she was exhausted.She had been running for days with little rest, each time, she closed her eyes to rest, she would hear their footsteps and begin the
