Chapter 18: Mini RevengeI felt my shoulder shaking so I opened my eyes, but then I closed them again and cringed my forehead. “Get out.” “I was calling you.” His voice had been very irritating and I hope he knew. “You have the right to call me? I am not your genie.” And I pulled my blanket up to cover my face.“You slept all day and it’s getting dark, isn’t this the right time for some warning?” He said and I opened my eyes. I took to blanket off and saw him, he had a plan, doesn’t he?“You forgot about my wolf, she’s mourning.”“But you’re not and why don’t you avenge your wolf?” Tempting but I would not jump into a pack of wolves in my human form.“I can’t shift.”“But you’re a witch.”“Can my craft make me run fast if we mess up?”“That’s why you have me.” He placed his hand on his waist which means he was tired of this argument but would not let this go. I couldn’t trust him, what if he’d left me there alone?“I didn’t know you are this coward.” And he turned his bac
Chapter 19: His Pity“Step back,” I ordered him to step back since he was too closed. A wicked smile crept on his lips and he stepped closer, and even bend to level my face. I restrained myself from reacting until his nose touched mine. “Does my presence bother you?” He whispered mockingly. “Do you think you’re presence is more powerful than an Alpha?” I asked back. His smile hadn’t left his lips and nodded yet unconvinced. “You know what, I realized that you can stay here since you don’t have a house.” That was when his smile dropped. “No, let’s go. Someone’s coming.” He said and pulled me out of the cave but I pulled him back. “Wait,” I pulled my hand and search for some cloth to wrap the bow and arrow. I saw my leather clothes before and wrapped that bow. “Leave those here. You are not using those.” Who did he think he was ordering? “This is helpful against the wolves.” I persisted.“Yeah, against us.” “Well, be good so I would not b using this on you.” I successf
Chapter 20: Deals and PlansMy eyes widen and I looked at him. “Can you see how high this is?” “Yeah,” he held my left hand and looked down at the water. “You know what you are missing? You take a risk unwillingly and you miss the fun part of being afraid, the adrenaline and the thrill. You weren’t willing, you had no choice and after that, you blame everything around you and mostly yourself.”He was looking straight at my eyes, I didn’t get it. What was the fun of being scared? I know what are the things I hate and I don’t want to happen.“Will you jump with me?” He was asking me ad if it was nothing a big deal. “I can’t swim.” “Will you risk with me?” He asked and he wasn’t taking his eyes off me. “Okay,” I answered, I felt like bewitched when I was the witch here. When he nodded, I knew that I would regret that decision. “Ready?” “Wait-” he jumped before I could finish my words. “Ahhh!” I instantly clutch everything I could hold. I wrapped my arms around his neck and
Chapter 21: Plan AHe walked to the door and opened it, I failed to hear a few words of gratitude. I decide to make cook for lunch for us and I would do it manually because I felt weak after making it. My head hurt a little so I drank water. I used too much magic today. “Are you okay?” “Do I look unwell?” I said and started cutting the vegetables. “Yeah, your lips turned pale.” “Well, I think because the water was too cold.” Even though I did really feel weak. “You’re bleeding.” I looked at my fingers, I didn’t cut my fingers yet so I looked at him. “From your nose.” I thought he was joking so I checked using my finger. I lost words when I saw a red liquid on my finger. I exert too much magic and this was only a side effect. I turned to him but I stepped back seeing him too closely. He wiped my finger and then my nose. It took me minutes to realize what he was doing.“You overuse your magic.” He said which made me look away. Why did he care? “Yeah, it’s the side effe
Chapter 22: TriggeredI froze when I heard him speak, I thought he wasn’t talking about me, and even thought of hiding behind the tree. He turned to me before I could even move. I rolled my eyes with my stupidity. I walked to him and sat next to him. “I’m sorry, I am being nosy, I know. I only wanted to comfort you, I know the feeling of missing someone and losing someone. I understand, let it out, and I will listen.” I could feel his strong gaze so I faced him. “I’ve moved on.” “I’m not buying it,” his lips stretched into a smile. “It’s fine if you don’t want to talk about yourself. I can accompany you so you would not feel alone.” “Really?” “Yeah.”“Did you love him?” He suddenly asked, I didn’t see it coming and it got me thinking. “I don’t think so, he pushed me to the cliff after seeing my face for the first time.” I couldn’t help to laugh at my unfortunate life. “Why would he do that?”“I met him that night and on the same night my so-called father learned abo
Chapter 23: MarkedMy mind went blank hearing it, I stared at his face until I fully got what he meant. “What?” “If I will mark you, he’ll surely feel it. He triggered you, then we’ll trigger him.” He suggested while I unconsciously touched my neck. “I’m sorry, I know it wasn’t that simple. I was just desperate, I think. I understand if you won’t agree with it.” He said and stood up. I didn’t dare to speak until he was out of sight. I dropped my spoon, I couldn’t bring my appetite back anymore. I couldn’t explain what I was feeling. If I would let him mark me, what will my second chance mate feel about it? Yet the idea was still good if he was telling the truth. I drank water and looked at my hand. I need to regain my strength back, enough problems for now. I crawled to my old bed here and pulled the blanket to cover me. I thought closing my eyes would make me feel better and I could rest but I saw his face. He was taking care of me. He brought me here and made sure I was
Chapter 24: Bloody Night I stealthily walked behind the tree, we didn’t get into his pack village. They were out for hunting I think, we saw them lurking around near the cave. I climbed on a tree to have a good spot to shoot them. I was far enough that they couldn’t smell me. I gently pulled the string and aim the one next to Dion. I released it and saw how they gather around him to protect him. I smiled and drew on my lips as he howl in anger. I looked down and saw Rylan down there looking in the same direction I was looking at. I didn’t waste time and released another arrow. I shoot his beta, then his gamma. I need to bring his pack down and I would do it one by one. I immediately jumped down before anyone could see me. Good thing Rylan was fast enough to catch me and shifted. We run in the other direction to his village. I was to give them a little surprise while their stupid Alpha was out. “Three dead bodies is enough for tonight, four would be better, and more than th
Chapter 25: A little PeaceLying in my bed while looking at the ceiling in this cave was somehow a little peaceful but boring. Rylan left so I didn’t know where. ‘I wonder if she has given birth already, they don’t have to worry about it since the baby will be out safely.’ Being the villain with a heart sucks, my mind was telling me to kill them both to make Dion suffer while my heart was telling me to spare the child, he or she has nothing to do with his parents' sin. I felt stupid to give that consideration. I pointed my finger to the ceiling and the image started to form in light. She was giving birth while Dion was watching her. I could see his anger and pain. ‘Well, that’s what he deserves.’ ‘Push!’ I heard their healer say and followed by her scream of pain. I waved my hand and the scenario vanished. A strong and healthy child would come out and they’d surely celebrate it. “Are you happy?” I asked, I know he was listening. I heard him enter the cave and I didn’t bot
Chapter 78: Epilogue Anger could drive us to somewhere we never really wanted. You may regret it once you get there, but the mistake was part of my growth, what mattered was I managed to come back on track. Sulking in pain, anger, and confusion felt like hell. It felts like walking somewhere you did not know. It felts like being caged in a huge space where no matter how you run, you could find the end. Just darkness all over you. Escape could never put an end to a battle, it will only hunt you again and again. So, I chose to finally face it. The battle that was plotted for me. Standing now, looking at everyone around me. With witches and werewolves, among us, I am the only half-blooded. Being different is a blessing and a curse, and they were part of my Twisted Fate. “Mom!” Orion called me while running in my direction. He’s six now and Radian would be turning five. “They're here!” He said and held my hand. He pulled me to the field and saw the Alphas with their wives. It’s been
Chapter 77: The Beginning at The End“Rylan…baby,” I whispered and reached his face. Tears fell from his eyes, but he had no emotion. “Save me…” I begged and he pulled the knife out. He broke into tears when I fell on the ground to catch me. If this was my end, at least I knew he still love me. At the edge of my eyes, I saw Linda break the pendant of Venon’s necklace. “Zenith…” he was panicky when I bleed too much. Then my stomach started to grow. My son is hurt. We all heard its heartbeat. “Get away from her!” Lizo shouted and pulled me away. “No, he’s back, it’s okay.” I held Rylan tightly, I did not want to let him go. I might lose him again. My wound lightened up with blue light and soon it healed. My son saved me again. Then it returned to normal as if he was saying finish everything now.“Thank you, my little fighter.” The war has ended and pulled him into a tight hug. “I missed you so much.” “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I hurt you.” He was whispering again and again.
Chapter 76: Cold Memories I tried to do not to fight more unless it was needed. I need to conserve my power. I cannot let myself overuse my power. They probably suspect that I was pregnant, her words left me hanging. I was surprised. I need to choose my fight now. He sent a battalion of the army, but he hasn’t shown himself again. I’d know if he’s already dead. His memory will flash in my head. I would see what was in his heart that he had been keeping. Everyone that tries to attack me would be taken care of by my beta. She hasn’t left my side. I knew they were worried and I should not worry them more. But at the edge of my eyes, I saw the black-capped man staring straight at me. I ran to him and attacked him using my claw. If he was a werewolf, he should shift but I never saw him shift. “Who are you?” I asked him. “Why was he calling you Rylan?” I asked and kept attacking him. “HOW DARE YOU USE HIS NAME!” I shifted and attacked him furiously. He was too fast to avoid all my
Chapter 75: The War Day OneEveryone was out there preparing for the war. I was looking at my pack, would this pack survive? Our women, children, and oldies were on their way to Alpha Gado’s pack. The army of witches has arrived. “I want to ask you something, Miradel. How will I know that I am about to give birth?” “Few days before you give birth, your scent will start to change, its presence will surface sometimes but it will hide again. They might hear its heartbeat sometimes and it would be gone in a minute.” She answered. I do not have time to delay. I nodded in response. When I got to the ground, everyone was there. Linda came to me with her fierce face. “Do not kill him, please. Promise me. Alpha, promise me, you will let him live.” I nodded to assure her. But truly, I could not promise that. If he would try to harm me, I would be left with no choice but to end him. “They’re coming, hide,” I said and they all ran into the woods. They’d attack our pack, but no one wa
Chapter 74: My Reckless ActionAt night I stealthily left our pack and vowed to be back before sunset. My destination was something they’d never expected. I did everything I could to sneak into his pack. Until I got into her laboratory. “What are you doing?” I suddenly heard Dion’s voice, so I placed my ears against the wall. Their faint conversation pulled my interest. “Making you stronger.” It was Venon. “What is that?” “Power. Don’t ask anymore. Just do as I say, you’ll win this war. Move now before they could fully prepare for the war. Strike while her army hasn’t been fully cooked.” Good. Move now, Dion. I don’t care. I turned to hide but someone covered my mouth and pulled me into a room. I knew that scent. “What are you doing in here?” He whispered while trying to make sure no one was around and no one could hear us. “Spying.”“Recklessly? You should have sent spies.” Alpha Titus said. “I haven’t received anything from them yet, so I went to investigate myself.
Chapter 73: Fatal Situation“What!” “You are maybe pregnant.” She repeated. “That’s impossible, I should feel that if I am pregnant, and it’s been months since that day. My stomach should grow bigger by now, and especially, I should hear its heartbeat.” I said I was confident when I said that. She did not know the whole story. It has been months and I lost count of when I was last with him. The last full moon, I guess. “I am not messing around, you cannot be that powerful for you are half-blooded even if you are Minerva’s descendant or an ancient healer white werewolf. That power would only be possible if it was the combination of the power of two witches or wizards.” I shook my head. She was talking nonsense. How could that be possible when I have a flat stomach? “No,”“You and your child’s power.” She said and I was on the verge of shifting. “Hear me out, I will not say something like this for nothing. I have seen that kind of power before in your grandmother when she was
Chapter 72: Early BetrayalI crossed my arms while watching him leave, he just added pressure to my fist; he just added more reason to bring them down. ‘I will never bring him down.’ “I don’t like him.” Lizo suddenly spoke behind me. “Asked him if he liked you first,” I spoke.“That’s harsh,” “I was never soft, Lizo, don’t mock me.” I started feeling nauseous, so I walked back to my office to rest. While Lizo was tailing me. “What do you want?” “You don’t look fine.” He said I was not feeling right truly. “Those Alphas stressed me out, they’re chaotic,” I said and closed my eyes then leaned on my chair. “They weren’t really trying to piss you off, they were just pointing out obvious things but you looked stressed about it.” My head cringed when I heard that. “Are you saying I was overreacting?” “No! Of course not, I just find it odd since you don’t usually show your mad, you would throw sarcastic remarks like nothing, you were unbothered usually…”“And your point
Chapter 71: The Explosion “Should I lie that I did not know you knew?” I mean nothing, it just slipped from my tongue. That was too harsh, I think. Socializing wasn’t really my thing, that was why I need Linda.“My Alpha meant; she knew you know.” Linda was trying to lessen my mistake. “I apologize for that, but Venon grew up with humans and got here when she first shifted. She was a late bloomer she only shifted when she met her mate, Dion’s brother.” I answered. “Is that all you knew?” He asked and I nodded. “Unfortunately, yes,” I answered. “You can’t fool me; you seem don’t drop all your cards at once.” He said and crossed his arms. “They had been kidnapping humans for experiments, she was trying to implant an inner wolf in a human.” He said which did not surprise me yet pulled my interest and confusion clouded into my head. “Inner wolf is somewhat our second soul; no human machine can do that,” I spoke. “That was when witches take part.” He said, as expected from
Chapter 70: Untamed AlliesMy head was hurting badly when I was listening to their report back then, I was very pleased, and those Alphas sounded good. What a disappointment when I met them. “You must have plotted your revenge meticulously.” An Alpha my age said while sitting informally. “Yeah, you should’ve planned this flawlessly since you already call us. When-““I doubt she already has. Judging her pack, it was barely stable, she should have fixed her pack before that in my opinion.” Another Alpha spoke. I did not foresee that gathering Alphas in my pack would be this chaotic. They may be sat peacefully but they kept throwing sharp remarks at me. I secretly massage my head. “Are you sure you should move now? As I could see your army hasn’t gotten any muscle.” I saw how my Deltas react to that, but they choose to let me handle it. And it was followed with countless support and even added worse comments. “I’d appreciate it if you’d shut your mouth.” They all shut their m
