Adaline Point of View"What do we do about Zoe?" I say, and he looks at me."She's your -- was your bestfriend, you make the decision.""She can stay here? I just really want to keep an eye on her." I say, but frown when he says nothing."Or, I could get her a place in French Quarter, or out of town, but I'll just have to be there most of the times, might stay with her.""Easy baby, she can stay here." He says, hands on my cheek and I nod, relieved."Why do you want her to stay here? I would think you'd hate her, but here you are, avocating for her presence." He says casuallyI smile, wondering if I should tell him the truth, or just lie as usual, I go with the former."When I was with the Ancestors, they predicted her death, she would have died in Romania, because Cyprus was finding ways to kill her, to make it look like an accident.""He used her? Wow, and he wanted to dispose of her, when she is no longer useful. More reasons to make him suffer."I smile at his response, leaning fu
Alexandru Point of View"But we do need to channel something strong." "Channel me." I say, wanting this to be over soon."No, I am stronger." Dad -- Rafe says, and I cock my eyebrows, stronger?"I am stronger than you, Alexandru." He grins at my expression."Don't be so sure about that." I smile."Are we doing this Lily, or is you husband and son going to keep checking who is stronger?" Camille says, and I smile."I want to do this for her, if she's dabbling with dark magic, she'll need external protection." He says, and I nod."Kneel." Mom says to the girls and Camille, they kneel, and Dad lays in their middle.Holding each other's hand, Mom begins chanting. The rest of them take a step back, but I take two steps forward, I need to be able to break the spell incase something happens, it won't be like Adaline's, where I couldn't do anything but watch while she bleeds and scream.The chants intensify, and Mom throws her head backward, screaming the ancient language, and my heart skip
Adaline Point of View"I made breakfast." She says, and I look at her with a frown."You didn't have to." I say, making myself coffee."I know, I wanted to." She says and I nod."Are you not sweaty under all those clothes?" I say, gesturing"No, I am good." She smiles, but it's so bruised, reminding me of the prediction, her death, not on my watch."I am going out today, going to . . . ." I pause, trying to find a perfect place."The Library, I will be out all day." "I culd come with you, I like the Library too." She says, with a wide smile"No, you can check out the City, I will be busy, and love to read alone.""Of course. I'll be in my room -- well, your room, I made breakfast, there are options, eat whatever you want." She says, walking away, and I bury the apology coming out of me.I turn to the counter, checking everything she made. My stomach grumble as I help myself to some Lasagna, rushing the food, because I have to leave.____I roll up the sleeves of my shirt, my boots m
Adaline Point of View "Invocatio cadaveris, voco to ex umbreaSpirite revixisti, in mea voce clameaUt brevi tempore, cum te loqui queamAgnoscas vocem meam, tu iubere nequeam.""You called?" I hear and scream, but relax a little when I see it's Wilder."What do you want?" I snap, focusing on the symbols on the table, and the corpse of the bird, which laid as dead as before, no fucking changes."You called." He repeated with a smug smile, and I want to slap it off him, but then, he is just a demon, a puppet on the string."No, I didn't, and do not tell me shit about my heart faltering, I know you work for those four old bitches.""My, my, my, Adaline Vulkov has grown a spine, colour me intrigue.""If you do not leave me alone, I will colour you red, in your blood, that's if demons bleed." I snarl, but all he does is laugh, infruiating me further, he doesn't know what I am capeable of, he's about to find out."These violent tendencies," He tsk "There are directed at the wrong person,
Adaline Point of View"Sure." I say"Great, because we were going to tie you down, and do it either waym if you'd said no." Selena saysI tilt my head "That wouldn't end well, for you.""She was just joking, stop being fucking weird." Blu snaps, causing me to smile."How will it work?" I ask, folding my hands."Well, Mom and the girls will begin the spell, this spell will cause untold pain to wreck you." Alex says."Yes, we will perform some Lunar Ritual which is perfect since the moon is out, your lateness coming in handy," Lily says."We will harness the power of natural elements - moonlight, forest and nighttime. We will perform a channeling ritual to establish a connection with your wolf form, visualizing the merge of your witch and wolf side.""To trigger the transition, we use a symbolic objects, Enchanting Howling Stone and Amulet of Lupine Unity. The Amulet contains a fusion of magical symbols representing both Witch and Wolf, When you wear it, it'll serve as a catalyst for yo
Alexandru Point of View"Rico said they are trying for another baby," He says, and my eyes bulge."That's amazing." Zach exclaims."Can't wait to be Godfather." I say, knowing it'll cause chaos."I am the baby's Godfather." Rick says, with confidence."You already have a baby on the way, I will be Godfather." Zach says, and I smile."Uh, you're forgetting something, the baby is my blood, I do not know why this is up for deba -- "He trails off and I look at him, to see him staring at the other side of the house, where Zoe is currently moving her body to music, judging by the earpods in her ear.I frown at Zayd's slack face, turning my gaze to Rick and Zach who are stifling their laughter."Oh, Fuck." Zoe exclaims when she notices us, with Zayd's eyes unflinching."I am so sorry for interrupting, just want to check the cake in the oven." She says, and I smile at her, she has been cooking a lot, and her food are divine."Let me help you." Zayd jumps off his feet, and I grin."You don't
Adaline Point of View"Can you stay here, I'll be back soon." I smile at him, and nod, a lie."At least, Zayd seems to like Zoe." He laughs on his way out, which does nothing but reminds me of the prediction of her death, which wants to rob her of whatever happiness she can find with Zayd.That won't happen on my watch. I wait a little, till I hear the front door slam, seems Zoe went with them.Everything she has gone through, the pain, deaths, it's all so sad, and I would help her, everything must be worth it, she can't go through it all for nothing, she deserves happiness and joy.I get up from the bed, pul off my clothes, wearing jeans and a crop top, I need to wear something that I can move in efficiently. I grab my backpack, leave a note for Alex, I would need concentration.I walk past the Living Room, removing Zoe's cupcakes from the oven, grab two pieces, and a slice of cake, with that, I walk out._____I walk inside, closing the door firmly behind me.I place the rabbit cag
Alexandru Point of ViewI think I can understand my parent's fuss, it is their third birthday with me, this one not tainted by a curse, thanks to Adaline, what I can't understand is everyone else's fuss.It's just a birthday, and I'm turning thirty two, no big deal."I got you the nicest present." Fran says, and I laugh."Thank you, Fran, you didn't need to, How's everyone at home?" I say, over the phone, she got a job offer in Los Angeles, and used it as a meduim to check on her family."Good, sweaty, posh and children-y." She grumbles and I laugh."Well, enjoy yourself, Camille is on her to fuss all over me." I say, staring at Camille who is coming towards me with a wide smile."Save yourself." Fran giggles, ending the call.Where is Adaline? I feel like I barely see her these days, actually, for the past months, which is really odd. I take a step in the other direction, my home has been turned into something else."Hey baby." Speak of the angel, and she shall appear, looking beaut
