Alley POV: I knew everyone was a little tense as they took seats around the office. This is our first time laying eyes on him, we've all heard the rumors but from what I can tell he looks rather normal. I mean his eyes aren't even red like the others. "So can someone explain to me why I am here or why I was even requested?" Jeremy stated, there was an edge to his voice and Cassandra had a death grip around his arm. "Jeremy don't be hostile, what do you know of the great white witch?" Ambrosia asked. "I know she died and that her brother killed her but nothing more, why?" Jeremy asked. Ambrosia looked at me and nodded. "I am the great white witch, and Raleighs brother Bosch has created an army to take me and my mate down." I said slowly so he could hear everything. He looked a little stunned by my words, "I get why he would want to take you down but why your mate?" Jeremy asked, "I am the last of the royal blood line, our line contains a shield that no dark magic can penetrate it."
Alley POV: Cassandra had a smile across her face and I wasted no time walking to her and wrapping her in a hug. "I will train you along with the other ladies, we won't let anything happen to you." I said, she hugged me a little harder at my words. "We have been hiding for so long I forgot what it was like to be around friendly people." Cassandra replied. The laddies came around and introduced themselves to her while the men got more acquainted with Jeremy. "So each of you ladies have an element?" Jeremy asked. "Yes, Diane has water, Emma has fire, Charlotte also has fire, Jasmine has earth, Chloe and Stefanie have wind." I replied pointing at each of them who wasted no time demonstrating their gift. "So you have all four too?" Cassandra asked. I smiled at her "I have all five elements." I replied. Both of them looked stunned. "Spirit is a very rare gift, but because I am the great white witch I carry all of them, I can infuse people with the spirit element to heal faster or I can he
Alley POV: Waking up early has never been my thing, but we have to start training. Last night at dinner we decided that we will let people pick their workout partners. I already promised I would train Cassandra in the morning and my mother would train her after lunch. She is extremely eager to learn stuff, she told us girls last night that Jeremy tends to go overboard with protection but she never really thought much about it until they were attacked by a few rogues. She had no idea how to defend herself and it scared her and I could understand. Being a human and mated to a wolf is hard, humans are fragile and can be easily killed since they don't heal the same way that we do. She is right, she needs to know how to defend herself no matter what. We were all stretching before we broke off into pairs, I could tell that Cassandra was nervous her eyes were constantly moving, keeping everyone within eyesight. Jeremy on the other hand had his eyes on her. "Are you ready?" I asked her, o
Alley POV: "That was good, but next time when you spin, take your leg and give a kick straight to the face." I said. There was a fire in her eyes and I knew she was hungry to learn. "Again." I said lunging at her, I decided not to tell her anything and let her go off her own instincts. She went straight for my legs using her body weight to knock me off my feet, wrapped one arm around my neck and used the other to lock it in and tighten. She tried pinning my legs to the ground, I used my right elbow and drove it into her ribs. She hissed in pain but quickly recovered. Once she was on her feet I lunged at her, she swung a left hook that I ducked under and wrapped my arms around her waist, lifting her up and slamming us down back first on the mat, I spun around trapping her under me when she slammed her head in to my nose making me stumble off of her. "Impressive." I said, smiling at her. She is able to think quickly in situations. I caught a glimpse of Jeremy who looked at her with pri
Alley POV: After we had our lunch the girls and I stayed in front of the house while the others went back to training, it seemed like we all had an amazing grasp on our elements but I wanted to test our elements. See what we could really do. "So how are we going to do this?" Charlotte asked. "I'm not sure but I figured we could some how combine them if needed, like a mega fire bomb or water infused flame? I've infused fire with earth before." I said, trying to figure out how we could. My hopes are that if we get separated or one gets separated then we can somehow aid them. "Do you remember how you did it?" Chloe asked. "Not really, I mean I didn't put much thought into it. Just pictured it and boom it happened." I replied. "Where the hell have Anahita and them been? It's been days since we last seen them." Diane asked. Now that is a good question, they left and we haven't heard anything from them. "I honestly have no clue. Maybe gifting other people?" I said, shrugging my shoulde
Stephens POV: I decided to hang back and let the others train while I observed everyone, Jeremy decided to hit the weights and then the punching bag, Alleys mom was training Cassandra on the mats again and I must admit for a human she is pretty good. She moved quickly and her bounce back is even quicker. Jeremy takes a glance over at them every few seconds, I couldn't imagine living the way that they did. To constantly look over my shoulder because of who I was and knowing I had no backup or no protection is a horrible way to live. Maybe after all of this is said and done they can stay here or leave and feel better knowing they made a lot of new friends. "So how is Jeremy doing?" Alex asked. "He's doing fine in my opinion, I think he is more protective than Collin is." I replied with a chuckle. "Yeah I couldn't imagine that, but his mate seems to be learning really fast." Alex said. "Yeah she is. She's a strong person she just needs to embrace it and let her instincts guide he
Alley POV: We got back inside the house and wasted no time in coming up with a plan, we had to get to them before they came for us. We could train all day every day and still not be prepared for their attack if we don't have a plan. "Okay so the trackers will be back in the early morning and you all heard how many they saw, anyone have any suggestions?" Stephen asked, looking around the room, Pythia and Ambrosia came as soon as we sent out the word. "I think the dark witches need to take their own kind on, wolves and vampires can't fight back when magic is used." Devin said. He had a point. "True but with Stephens shield they could." Pythia retorted. "I don't know how many I will be able to cover when we are in an actual fight." Stephen replied. "I think Pythia should make a team of her own and we can be back up since we have elements." I said. "Or do you and Ambrosia think y'all can gain control of them?" Diane asked. "I don't want traitors living among me. They will die." Ambros
Alley POV: How would we though? If she now has ill intentions then she can't come within the protection or her insides will burn. She would die. "She can stay with us, I can work on a removal spell." Pythia said. "You can do that?" I asked. She nodded her head, "It won't be an easy process but yes it can be done." Pythia replied. What process? I can't believe he would use her like that but then again it does not surprise me at all. This ruins the surprise attack. I mean not really but if she is glued to Bosch then that is going to cause a problem. We won't be able to get to her without him seeing. "How are we going to get her?" Jackson asked. "I don't know. We can't get to her without Bosch seeing." I said. "The longer she is under the spell the more she will lose herself." Pythia said. Well fuck. Okay so we need to think of something quickly. "When did she leave his side?" I asked "The only time she did was when he told her to go off and do something." Tyler replied. "Okay so we nee
