~ZANE~ “We need to think of a plan before you run to her, Levi. Do you want to get yourself and her killed?" I uttered as I held him back from running out of the room. He struggled against mine and Daniel's hold before letting out a groan. “I don't care if I die, I need to save her. I don't even want to imagine what she's going through with every second we waste" I sighed. “I understand but we have to proceed with caution, Levi" He turned to me and I saw the sadness and anger in his eyes. “She's pregnant, Zane and the doctor said she won't be able to have another baby after this. If she loses our baby, I know it's going to break her so I have to save her before it's too late" I let out a sigh, truly understanding what he was feeling but it still wasn't a good idea to barge into the enemy's lair without a plan. “Kiara and I will go get Anastasia's blood for you meanwhile, Sebastian will take both our men down to the location and they'll have a stake
~ZANE~ As soon as we got back to Levi's mansion and handed Anastasia's blood to him, he didn't even waste a second before running back to his room to continue creating the weapon. “How was the visit? How was Anastasia" Daniel questioned as soon as Levi disappeared and I sighed. “She's in a very bad state and she has lost her powers" Heather gasped while Daniel's eyes widened. “Damn!" He muttered. “We shouldn't feel sorry for her, she deserves it. See what Levi is going through, only the goddess knows what Karla is going through as well" Kiara suddenly murmured and I sighed before taking her hand and pulling her close. “Listen to me my love, it's okay if you pity Anastasia,okay?" I wiped away her tears with my thumb. “But I don't want to, Zane. Why do I pity her when she did something this evil?" I smiled. “Because you are a good person and you have a soft spot in your heart for Anastasia after what she did for us" I kissed away her tears
~LEVI~ My heart was racing as we drove over to Jason's base, not because I was scared of Jason but because I was scared of the state Karla would be in when I see her. I reached for my phone while keeping my eyes on the road and tried calling Sebastian's number but he didn't pick which made me furrow my eyebrows. I tried again but still, he didn't pick up. “We need to hurry, I think something has happened to Sebastian" I muttered as I stepped on the accelerator. “Are you sure? Maybe he fell asleep and his phone is on silent" Daniel uttered but I shook my head. “No matter what, Sebastian always picks my call. He never puts his phone on silent and he's a light sleeper. Something is wrong, I can feel it" I clenched my fist around the wheel in anger. “Calm down, okay? Let's get there first" Kiara murmured and I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself but it wasn't working. I just hoped Karla and Sebastian were okay. When we got to Jason
~ZANE~ I always knew Levi had it in him to be bloody if he wanted to but the man standing in front of me was a monster. Despite Jason injuring him, Levi never once took a step back and made sure he slashed Jason with the dagger in his hand before Jason Injured him. “Do you know why it's easy to defeat you?" I heard Levi muttered then shot Jason twice on his stomach. Jason screamed and for a split second, I saw fear in his eyes. “Because unlike Liam, you are dumb and now I'm going to make sure you pay for everything you have done to Karla" Levi muttered threateningly then slashed Jason across his face. Jason growled loudly then kicked Levi away before getting up from the floor. His injuries weren't healing and he seemed to be weakening, that means Levi's weapons were working. “You bastard, I should have killed you when I had the chance" Levi just flashed him a devilish smirk as he clenched onto the dagger and gun. “That was your first mistake, underestimating me. How about this…
~LEVI~ The next few days went by like a breeze. I stayed beside Karla, holding her hand and talking to her, hoping she would hear me and know how much I missed her. “Yesterday, Zane bought your favorite flowers for Kiara. Apparently that's her favorite flower too. I'm sure you both have a lot in common and I can't wait for you both to meet. I miss you so much, so damn much" I murmured then leaned in and placed a kiss on her lips. “Wake up my love, come back to me" I let out a sigh as I wanted nothing more than to hug her tightly. “Hey" I turned around and watched as Sebastian walked in with his crutches. He had woken up before I did but his bones were fractured so the doctor asked him to limit his movements. I was glad it wasn't anything permanent except maybe some of the injury marks. “Hey. Where's Zane and the rest?" I questioned and he sighed. “Zane and Kiara are with the doctor while Daniel and Heather went out to get food for everyone. Jess
~ANASTASIA~ I kept quiet as Lucien led me into his house but couldn't stop myself from staring at him. He looked so worn out and tired, not like the Lucien I knew before. He had become more rugged looking. “Wait till the rain stops. If you want to kill yourself, do it somewhere I can't see you" He murmured as I sat down on the couch. He was about to walk away when I grabbed his hand.. “Lucien, I…" “Don't think because I brought you into my house means that I have forgiven you. I can never forgive you for what you did, Anastasia" He muttered and the tears streamed down my face before I could stop it. “Lucien, please…" “Because of you,my brother has gone through so much pain! His woman is currently fighting for her and their baby's life. All this is because of you and you think just because you came to apologize, all will be forgiven? You are a vile woman and no matter what, I cannot forgive you neither can I forgive myself. If I hadn't indulged y
~LEVI~ The next few days were hell for me. Karla wasn't showing any signs of waking up and the doctor kept bothering me that it was the right choice to take the baby out but I didn't want that. If Karla woke up, she'd want to give birth to her baby normally. I didn't want to deprive her of that. While Daniel and Heather had volunteered to go bring their children over since Kiara and Zane didn't want to leave my side until Karla woke up even though I tried convincing them I was okay because I didn't want to trap them here. What if…what if Karla took a year before she woke up? “My heart won't be at rest if we leave you this way just like you stayed by me when I was in an almost similar situation like hers" Kiara murmured as she placed her hand on his shoulder. “And you stayed by my side and became my voice of reason. Do not worry about us, we'll stay in a hotel in the meantime and since the children will be coming soon, Kiara won't be as anxious" I glanced at both
My eyes widened as Lucien walked towards me. When he had called me earlier, I hadn't expected him to actually come. I tried standing up but immediately lost my balance and fell to the ground. Lucien was in front of me in seconds but I shook my head at him then flashed him a smile. “I'm okay" He pursed his lips then took a few steps away from me before letting out a sigh. “Zane said you had a way to help?" He muttered and I nodded. “Yes I do. I can help Karla" He frowned. “How can you do that when you have lost your powers?" I pursed my lips. “It's a forbidden spell. Even those without powers can cast it" He frowned. “You are not telling me everything," I smiled. “It doesn't matter. Just know that I can save Karla and I'm ready to save her. All I just need is physical contact with her" He stared at me for a while then sighed. “If this is one of your schemes then…" “It's not a scheme. I just want to help, that's the onl
~FOUR YEARS LATER~ “Momma? When are we going to visit aunty Jess and uncle Bash? He promised me a Barbie dream house" Isabella uttered as she swung her little legs back and forth on the chair while I dressed her up. We'll go and visit them soon enough, my love. I'm sure they miss you" I murmured then placed a kiss on her cheeks before carrying her in my arms. “Where's dada?" She murmured and at that moment, Levi's head came out from behind her room door and he had a huge smile on his face. “Hey my Queen and princess" As his whole body came into view, my eyes widened as the huge bouquet of flowers in his hand. “For you my love" He murmured as he outstretched it towards me and I grinned before slowly placing Isabella on the ground. “This is so cute, thank you" I murmured as I placed a kiss on his lips. “Dada, I want flowers too" Isabella pouted as she outstretched her little hands towards him and Levi grinned. “I can never forget my little princess" He brought out a smaller banq
~A FEW MONTHS LATER~ “Push" The nurse uttered and I groaned as I pushed as hard I could while clinging onto Levi's hand. He leaned forward and placed kisses on my face. “You can do this my love, you've got this" He muttered and I nodded then took a deep breath. “One final push, give it all you've got" I screamed as I pushed and the only thing on my mind was I was finally going to hold out baby. The baby we made with love,our miracle baby. As soon as I heard the cries of the baby, I began to shed tears of joy and Levi was crying beside me. “It's a girl. She's the cutest baby ever" The nurses cooed and I opened my arms to receive her. Levi and I hadn't wanted to know the gender, we had wanted to be a surprise but everyone had already guessed it was going to be a girl. “I want to hold her" I uttered and one of the nurses came forward and opened my chest since the baby needed skin contact. As soon as the baby was placed in my arms, I bursted out crying as I stared down at the baby i
~LEVI~ I smiled as I stood in front of Karla's hospital room, listening to her laughing with Kiara. It felt like I haven't heard her laugh so hard in years. I knocked on the door then opened the door and walked in. They both turned to me and I immediately walked up to Karla and placed a kiss on her lips. “You both seem to be having a lot of fun" Karla suddenly stared at me sternly. “You didn't tell me she was your first love" My eyes widened while Kiara raised her hand in surrender. “I didn't tell her, she found out" I bit my lower lip and tried grabbing Karla's hand but she swatted my hand away. “Is that why you took me under your wing because my name sounded like hers?" I gasped as my eyes grew wider. “Karla, no I…" “Don't talk to me or touch me" She murmured then turned her head away from me and I turned to Kiara with a frown. “What did I do wrong? Anyway, we should hang out again don't you think? When you get better, you have
I sighed then leaned down and kissed away the tears on Karla's face. “Karla please, stop doing this to yourself" I muttered and she sighed. “I still can't believe she killed herself just to save me and now your brother is depressed" Kiara had assured me that her heightened emotions were because of her pregnancy hormones but it was clear that Anastasia's death had dampened everyone's mood even though it happened a week ago. Zane and Kiara hardly came by anymore because Kiara said Zane was very down and couldn't stop blaming himself for what happened while Sebastian and Jessica tried their best to comfort Lucien but that didn't seem to be working. He was slipping into depression especially since Anastasia's body was taken away and he couldn't attend her burial because since she was still the Queen of witches, only a few witches could perform her burial ceremony. Daniel and Heather had brought the kids with them and when they heard the news, they had been devastated as well but it w
~LEVI~ As I was about to rush towards Anastasia, Zane and Sebastian held me back while Lucien covered her whole body with his. “I didn't do anything. I don't have any powers for crying out loud" She screamed behind Lucien and I clenched my fist. “Nothing that comes out of your mouth is the truth! This only happened because you are here!" I screamed. “Levi, calm down. Screaming isn't going to solve anything" Kiara tried to reason with me but that witch was still in my space. If she hasn't done anything, what was wrong with Karla then? I furrowed my eyebrows when she suddenly came out from behind Lucien and stared at me straight in the eye. “I know you hate me, I know you all do and I don't blame you for it and I'm not here to ask for your forgiveness. I'm here to save Karla and if you don't let me in there, she's going to die" I gritted my teeth and tried lunging at her but Zane and Sebastian's hold on me was strong. “Karla doesn't need your help
My eyes widened as Lucien walked towards me. When he had called me earlier, I hadn't expected him to actually come. I tried standing up but immediately lost my balance and fell to the ground. Lucien was in front of me in seconds but I shook my head at him then flashed him a smile. “I'm okay" He pursed his lips then took a few steps away from me before letting out a sigh. “Zane said you had a way to help?"
