Chapter 12: The Witches "I just want to die," I emphasized."No one will die!" she stepped back when she shouted. "Look at me, look straight." She held my face and made me look at her."We are witches, and our family was not just witches. We are royally blooded of the witches ministry before your grandparents died, we the rule the ministry of witches, and backing down was never in our vocabulary. There is no reason to seek death.""Where are my parents?" but she couldn't answer. "Dead," and I saw her blink and turned into teary."Where is my mate?" she only took a huge gulp and put my loose strands of hair at the back of my ears. "Mated to another she-wolf and worse...he wants me to die.""How about me? Am I not a family to you or important to you?" she held both of my palms and seek hesitation in my eyes."What I am?" she blinked and a tear fell in her eyes but I was already filled with numbness. "A half-witch and a half-wolf. Where do I belong? To none. Why I am here
Chapter 13: Another Loss Then my sight was filled with red light, blinding bright red which made me cover my eyes. "Aunt Zinny?" I called out, every light turned off and the place was filled with darkness, which made my fear climb up and suffocated my throat. I felt like I was alone. I went to open my room and saw nothing at her main door. It was well closed and it was dark outside. I open the window and saw no fire, no one was there."Where are they? What just happened?" I hurriedly walked around and search the whole place. "Aunt Zinny!" I called her again and my voice echoed in the whole place. I hugged myself while holding my tears back. "What the hell!""Where are you!" I made it sound angry but I am truly scared. I had searched every part of her kitchen, library, room, and living here, and even checked the room where I was. I couldn/t find it here which frustrated me."Where am I?" "Meow," I froze when I heard that. I slowly turned my head to it. A maroon
Chapter 14: New Identity THE next moment that I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling, it was white with a little scent of blue, and snowflakes were painted on there. It was a bit dull but still beautiful. Instead of getting up and starting my day. I closed my eyes again, "I wish this is just a dream, a nightmare. I'm tired of all of this." I kept passing out and the next time I open my eyes, I am a different kind already. I inhaled and filled my lungs with fresh air, I felt suffocated when nothing was in my nose. I hate it. I decided to sleep again, begging anyone to undo all those changes. "Meow," my right eye flew open when I heard that. Then a maroon cat with black and red eyes faced me. "Aunt Zinny," then she touched my face. "I am sick of these changes, one day I was a hunter, living very fine with an old man. But I woke up one night and find myself in wolf form. Then I saw my mate, but fate snatched him instantly from me. The next thing I know that I am
Chapter 15: Who are you? I boringly turned my head to the door where the irritating voice of a female came. I looked at aunt Zinny who was licking her paw right beside me. "Didn't you hear her? Go and attend her." I whispered at her she only laid and closed her eyes. I didn't like this, I didn't know how many enemies she made from her past years in this world. I stood up and fixed myself. Kidding, I didn't fix myself, she'd see me as Zinia anyway. As I cracked my door open, I plastered my most fake smile and opened it wide. "Hello, come in." I offer but her mad face fell into shock. She eyed the house inside and back to me. I stepped back and let her in. "Have a seat," I offered the couch and aunt Zinny growled at her and refused to let her sit next to her so she took the couch for a single person and awkwardly looked around. "Do you want coffee, water, or juice?" And her jaw fell in surprise. 'What's wrong with her?' "Are you okay?" I asked and saw her blink twice then straig
Chapter 16: Leave RougeTan and toned body with a stoned and perfect build, I saw a drop of perspiration dripping down to his jeans. "Who are you?" his deadly voice almost made me shake as I looked up I saw an image of a greek go..."Let me go." I instantly snapped myself and ordered him to let my wrist go. His hair was long wavy and messy. He also had this long beard and he wasn't too clean."I am asking you." He tried to scare me but I know how to turn him into a frog in just a snap. "I am ordering you to let go." He harshly let go of my hand so I stepped back. I saw him smell the air and cringe on his forehead. "You lost your scent." He commented and his face turned into confusion. 'Who is this man?' I hurriedly wiped my face when I realized I am full of tears.My head turned to where I heard multiple footsteps. They were running in our direction, I instantly ran in the other direction to hide but I heard him follow since I ran slower in my human form. Then I saw him
Chapter 17: An Ally “I am Rylan,” he introduced himself and offered his hand for a shake hand."I need the information, why I can’t talk feel my wolf and how to bring her back. Not your name." He took his hand back and stood up. I watched him walked around and check every inch of my house, he even opened every door he found."I came her for the head of that man." He said and open my pantry, good thing he didn’t touched any of it. He went to the dining table and got some green apples."Can you get back here and tell me about what I want. I don’t care what are you here for.""Fixed your attitude, " he even pointed me but I only glared at him. "You fix your behavior, you’re in my territory." "I have a preposition-""-I am not interested." I cut him off instantly. "We can work together to bring him down." I stared at him and smiled then I shook my head."I can bring him down alone." But his lips stretched slowly into smile too. "That is not what I saw back there
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 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
