Chapter 101.*.*THE FEAST.The big banquet hall boomed with music made by experts from different types of musical instruments. Voices of chattering, laughter, and the clicking sound of wine goblets could be heard as they were merry and danced in excitement.To the wolves, they were celebrating the pregnancy of their luna, but to Azura and her sisters, they thought they were celebrating Azura's new rank in the pack.Cora sat next to Cole as she tried to overlook the fact that Hazel was actually flirting with him and he was going on with it.Max sat right opposite Cole, thinking and brooding about his next line of action while Azura sat next to him, smiling with her head held up high because she had achieved a goal.Lucas and the three elders sat in the row next to Cole and Cora while Hazel sat next to Azura. And Nora was at the edge. As the wolves ate, Azura thought of them as animals as they were eating in that manner."Shall we have a toast?" Hazel said, raising her goblet above he

Chapter 103.*.*"Well, tell me" Max frowned."I am not a fan of suspense" he added."Of course" Gregor said and cleared a throat."If the person taking the oath held on to the soil of the earth while taking the oath, it renders the oath null and void and if there was to be any punishment attached to the oath if it is not carried out, it would not take effect" he explained."Which means, the oath is not valid and the oath taker can violate it without fear of unforeseen curses or punishment" he added.Max creased his brows as his mind flashed to what he had seen Azura do at the oath-taking ground. Gregor's voice brought him out of his shell of thought."That strategy is familiar with the witches. That is why when the witches take an oath with each other, they use their blood to seal a deal or they could just tie the hands of the oath taker and still watch him or her closely" he said again, hoping to impress Max who was closely watching him."Well..." Gregor added and began flipping th

Chapter 105.*.*Owen was in the lab, observing the potion he was making as he stood over the big counter, mixing some recipes over a burning oven that was boiling in a crucible.This was the second time he was trying out this potion, but it seems there was always a missing piece of ingredient.Looking as the potion changed color to red to render it a failed experiment, he frowned and felt anger boil in him and all he could think of was a throw it away from the heat.He grunted and his fangs and claws came out, he took off the gloves he was wearing when he saw his fangs had penetrated the tips of the gloves.However, he stopped abruptly while holding the gloves when he sensed a strange present. He sniffed the air and noted it was not a wolf, but something else rather."Who is there?" He questioned, looking around and his wolf alert already."Oh, please pardon me" He heard a shrill tiny voice while he waited for whoever it was to show her face.Hazel walked in his direction with a bask

Chapter 107.*.*Cole managed to stroll out of Owen's and his dislocated ankle had been fixed, although he had a little difficulty in walking, he managed.The memory of last night was still fresh in his memory and he slightly grunted when he recalled the dreadful incident.He dragged his feet while walking and he hoped he wouldn't have to go far before he see Lucas. The full moon was fast approaching and they needed to have a meeting and send the messengers to disburse the message about the wolf's hunting.He had not walked too far when someone called out to him at his back. He stopped and had a little bit of difficulty turning his back to see who it was.His gaze rested on Hazel whose face was teary and she looked like she was going to choke down in tears. At first, he was alarmed, wondering what was wrong as she began walking up to him.He stood and waited, even if his ankle still hurt a little. She finally got to where he was and fell flat to the ground, sobbing while he furrowed

Chapter 109.*.*The stench of the room was that of dust and old books. The aroma of different concoctions being mixed filled the air with different colors of smoke filling the room.There was a big shelve placed on the wall that contained diverse herbs and portions in a mini bottle. The bunnies walk around in the cage while Hazel was busy with the potion she was making in her lab. She had mixed the whole necessary ingredients and it was left with just a single herb which she had asked one of the servants to get for her.She looked up from the potion she was mixing when she heard footsteps approaching the room. She was expecting to see the servant that was sent to bring the last ingredient, but when she saw Owen, her expectation was cut short."Oh, hi Owen" she said and returned her gaze to what she was mixing and heating."I take it I was not the one you were expecting?" He smiled and rested his back on the door frame. She chuckled and shrugged, while he watched what she was doing.
