Fey must have seen it, too, because she moved between them, cutting off their brother's line of sight to the half witch. "This is serious," she argued urgently. "Our place here was precarious already, but the werewolves will have more influence now. With Gered in their ears, the witches might decide to stop ignoring us.""You know what I'll suggest." Nick leaned back a little, trying to catch another glimpse of Cleo. "Army, slaughter, safety.""No army," Elijah disagreed vehemently. "We can't break the deal first. Just one new vampire will be all the excuse they need. They won't just drive us out; they'll band together to destroy us."Fey looked from Nick to Cleo and back again, her expression thoughtful. "But there's already an army here," she mused. "The French have a permanent camp just a few miles away. They're human, obviously, but turning them can't be the only way to get them on our side. We have other methods of persuasion. Isn't that right, Nicholas?"Nick frowned in surprise
"Magical spells can be forged but it can never be as powerful and dependable as the real spell. Cleo is also here because of the same issue. She saw things too and came here for help after so many years. I just didn't expect the person behind the problems.""How old is she? Cleo." I wanted to know more about the girls. All I learned about her earlier was that she was the daughter of a witch and a werewolf. "She is around your age. Her family moved to California before she was born. Her mother died just last year and we suspected she was killed by her kind. She is an interesting kid and I know you all will get along just fine.""What do we do? How do we defeat this thing that may cause a threat to my city?" "Take this." The head of the council handed Theo a book. "You might find your answers there." Theo collected the book. "I need to see my parent before I head back to school. Have they been, okay?" I asked. The head of the council stood up. "They are fine. Make sure you send for
"But I do. He isn't my father." "Inez!" Theo called. "Come and see something." He said and I walked to him. "Look at this." He pointed to the book he was reading. "Did you find something?" Denise asked. I nodded and she walked to us. "It is a Kanima." I read and collected the book from him. "How is this possible?" I asked. "What do you mean?" Theo asked. "Have you come across one before?" "I only saw it in a series I watched. Teen wolf. How do they exist? I thought it was frictional." Theo scoffed. "Bloodsuckers exist too, don't they? So what makes you think Kanima didn't exist? I told you he used ancient magic." "That still doesn't explain this. In Teen Wolf, Jackson was bitten by Derick hale and he was a werewolf so how does ancient magic create a Kanima?" Theo ran his hand through his hair. "I do not know Inez. We all saw what the dean was up to and stop using movies for this. This is real life and in that book you hold, it says they existed during the ancient times and the
I didn't want to distract him so I watched him read as we boarded the plane back to California. I couldn't want to tell Ava everything that happened in NYC and about the new girl I saw. It was my first time meeting a girl whose mother is a witch and father is a WereWolf. I mean, how did those two fall in love? How come their love story was legal but not mine? They said I couldn't end up with a human but a witch ended up with a werewolf and gave birth to a witch? Wow, that was forbidden to me. We spent five hours on the plane and I got to the institution around 2:30. Theo went to the community. Ava told me she was still In class and she was excited to hear I was back in California. I took an Uber to school and went to class.I entered and waved at Ava who was talking to someone. I couldn't see the person's face, clearly. Ava ran to me. "I have missed you. The weekend was boring without you." She gasped. "Do you know Lydia became a banshee?" Ava said."What is a banshee?" I asked. "
"Please get my necklace back," I said. Cleo and I continue to track both of them down whole Theo and his siblings went to hint for them. Every three minutes, we tell them where they were heading. There was a way a Lycan could make people do what they want or maybe the other person with Jackson had an ability I wasn't aware of. I couldn't get anything that belonged to him so I couldn't get what he is but the way he talked with Jackson, I could tell they were in the same packs. "Do you have them?" I asked. "Just as we suspected, they are heading towards the Cave. Inez, I don't think we can save those humans." Theo said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "They are many outside the cave and with one mistake, they might release the Kanima to the city. We have to attack them when they are not aware of it. "Does that mean we failed?" I asked. "No, we didn't. I don't think he would find your necklace in the next two days. We still have chances of catching them before they execute another pl
"His information are gone for now and we kind of make some chances." "Please be clearer. I do not understand." "We made it look like he transferred school." Ethan said."And what if they call the school? Did you guys even think about that?" "We did." Theo walked to me and placed his hands on my shoulders. He looked into my eyes. "The owner of the school we did the transfer to is my mother sister. She will cooperate since she also hates werewolves." He smirked. I left his side immediately and went to Cleo. She felt as if she couldn't help but I think she did enough. She wore her gloves back. "You did well today. Thank you for coming." She searched around with her eyes. "How come Ava isn't here? I thought she follows you around." I shook my head. "I told her to stay out of this one. It could be dangerous if she was here with us today." I respected Theo's decisions. He knew what was better. He knew the right thing to do so things were save with him. I looked at all of them. "I wil
I held his hands tightly. "It is a long story. All I know is that the council made it look like you died." "But why would they do that?" "You know they never wanted us together. they tried so hard to tear us apart Chase. They brought you here but I didn't know I was going to find you here and your parents..." I stopped and stared into his eyes. I shouldn't have said that."What about my parents?" he asked. "Are they okay? Did anything happen to them? Inez, please answer me." "They left NYC." I sighed. "But...""What?" "I know. They were in pain about their som's death." "But I didn't die. Look at me." "But they don't know that. They watched you get buried but don't worry." "Why shouldn't I? I don't know where they went or if they are okay. I am worried." "My parents are searching for them. They will tell me their location when they find them." "But what if?" I guess he was thinking of the worst scenarios. "What if you don't know where they went? What if they can't find my fam
"Do you need help?" I asked. "No, I got this," he said as he wore the condom. "Come here." I drew him to me and he settled his body on me. Not putting too much weight on me. "I want to feel your weight," I said as I looked at him. "I will crush you," he warned. I gave a Devilish smile. "I have lived a really long life." I exhaled with so much excitement in my voice."Are you sure you are okay with this?" He asked me. Nodding in agreement, I gasped when he entered. As he rocked his body against mine, I moaned and we kissed again. It was a whirlwind of motion, and I didn't want what we were doing to stop. As his body stopped, he asked if I was all right. Nodding, he followed up with a stroke. He began slowly and gradually increased his speed. Slower then faster, then slower again. While I moaned, he continued. The roughness gave way to lightness. As he continued to kiss me, I wrapped my arms around his neck. The kisses moved to my neck and he continued to rock me. Although I didn
Ava was taken aback when she learned of my pregnancy and has remained by my side ever since. I haven't been able to return to the shadow world since Astrid was brought to this world and Chase's family had returned to NYC. That's what his mother said, at least. I was unable to inform my parents or Denise about Astrid's absence. Except for the council and my friends, no one knows my daughter has gone missing. "Are you going to get a cake today?" Chase inquired, his arms still wrapped around my shoulder. With tears in my eyes, I glanced up at him. "Today is a good day to make a wish. I have a feeling things will be different this time." He grinned, attempting to make me smile as well, but I'll be honest, it was difficult to return to being joyful or smiling. "No cake today," I murmured, my voice sluggish. "Why? I am fully supportive of all you do."I nodded. "I know." I rose up after releasing myself from him. I showed him the hair tie by opening my hands to him. "Her fragrance is fa
"You left NYC." "Ah. It brought us memories we didn't want to remember," she said. "About that. There is something you need to know. You should have your seat for this." She obeyed and sat down. "What is it dear?" she asked. "Come inside," I said. As Chase entered the house. His mother was shocked to see who it was. She didn't expect someone that looked like her son to suddenly show up. She gasped as she stood up. "What type of prank is this?" she asked. "It is not a prank. It is your son." "How is that possible? I watched him being buried. We all watched him be buried." she said. "Are you sure you looked at what was inside the coffin before he got buried?" I asked. She stopped talking as she glanced at Chase. Too scared to walk toward him and touch him. I could feel how she felt. How did her dead son suddenly come to life? She felt scared. As if it was a dream. As if, if she touched him, he would vanish. "What happened?" she asked. "I want to know everything." I glanced at
Alex paused in his attack, giving me a moment to back up, but he never took his cold eyes off me. "We can talk about this." I said. There was a questionable tone in her voice. "You won't leave the throne. Would you? Chosen one?""I can't believe you!" I yelled at him. "Why do you want this throne so much? Do you want to live forever just like my father tried to do? it never works out." What do you know? You won't understand what it feels like to own the world. To have the world now to your feet. To control the world to do what you want." He groaned. Held my head hard against the tree.I could see blood dripping from my head."Well, i know how hard it is to have the world as you responsibility." I hoped I could stall him with talking, just like in the movies. I also hoped my words would hide how utterly and completely terrified I was. "Do you understand? Don't do this. It is not worth it. All these humans won't be grateful to you. No matter what you do for them.""I shall have the th
The powers Beauty and Cleo used on them had no effect. They were strong enough. They brought the barrier and the Kanimas surrounded me. They opened their mouth to rows of sharp teeth. My power raged. Holding it down was like trying to stop a tornado with my hands. Different shadows rose around my fire. The dark power merged with mine. I lifted my hands after I was finally able to control the powers. I lifted my hand. My power felt lighter. I shoved my palms forward. My power burn through the charging creatures. I closed my palm. The red wave pulled back before it burned through the tree. A few Kanima melted into the ground, avoiding my attacks. I felt them behind me. Turning, I swing my palm in their direction. The black power came to me again. I shove my hands forward. Black and red flames reached toward the monsters. They were all on the floor. Burned. I didn't need the mountain ash to fight them all. My new powers were enough. I exhaled. "What the fuck happened?" Cleo walked
"Have you seen Theo this evening?" Ethan asked but Riley knew where Theo was but she mustn't say a word about it or Ethan will take the whole community what Inez and she had done. She was avoiding problems. "What do you mean?" she asked. "Theo? I thought he said we will attack the day of the full moon? This is just the 30th." he said. Riley nodded. "I remember now. Theo put me in charge of things here.""Why would he do that? Why not put me? Why you?" he asked. Frowning. "Why? Because I am a girl?" "I didn't say that." "Well, the way you spoke was clear enough. Theo is out of town. He said he had important things to do and he will be back tomorrow." "But this is important," Ethan said. Riley rolled her eyes. "That is why he put me in charge Ethan. He said I should lead the battle and I must do it today.""But?" "No buts. Just get ready for battle. Please distribute the weapons." Riley patted his shoulder and walked away. Ethan picked up his phone to call Theo but it was reac
I parted my lips and could feel the potion go into his mouth. To him, he would feel something sweet and would want more. He kissed me with so much passion but I wanted it to stop. When I felt the potion finally finished in me and already inside him, I stepped back from him. I exhaled. He opened his eyes. Thinking he did something wrong. I shook my head and walked back to my bed. Any moment from now, he would fall asleep for two days latest. I looked at him. "Come and seat down." I offered and he came to me and sat next to me. I continued watching my Netflix as I glanced at him every few seconds to see if the drugs was taking effect. Not until 30 minutes before he started to react. His eyes were closing deliberately. "Are you all right?" I asked. Pretending. He placed his hand on his head. "Is it hot in here?" he asked. Was he suppose to feel that way? I don't think so. Beauty didn't tell me there was side effects. "I need water." he said. I couldn't give him water. What if the p
I sighed as we sat down. "Chase!" I called. "Please do not ask me this again. It is difficult for me to see you want to get involved with this fight." "I am only trying to protect you," he said."I do not need protection!" I yelled at him. "I just want you to not get involved. Please listen to me." my tone became cooler. "You need my blood, Inez. I noticed how powerful you become whenever you feed on me. Please let me do this. Even if I can't fight those things, I can at least be your toy on the battlefield." he begged but I didn't want him in it. it was too dangerous for him to be there. We were dealing with the warlock here. My father's brother. He would get killed again. They will come after someone I love too but he was not getting it. He felt I was trying to keep him off because he wasn't powerful enough. Now I wondered why both the two brothers want to take my life from me. Things weren't making sense. Just like Corner said... It sucks to be special sometimes. "Can we talk ab
"She will. We have to rescue her." "You mean to kidnap her? Her father won't stand still and not do anything." I said. "I feel pity for her. I mean her only destination is him and school. She isn't even allowed to come to the dorm for now." I waved when she walks out with Cleo by her side. She had that frown on her face. "I know baby." I hugged her. "I guess I will have to leave now. I just hate this life. I mean. I don't want to miss the gist and die of boredom in that house and my father always has someone watch around the house in case I want to run away. I just can't wait to leave that house and get some fresh air to myself." she groaned when she heard her father call. "I'm coming!" she yelled as she walked in his direction. I could feel how angry she was. "Poor girl." I shook my head. Ava and hereafter seemed to be arguing before she entered the car and I watched him drive off. "Let's go girls." Cleo handed me her car key. She said she was feeling sick because of the exam.
I was flattered. "So it is settled, you take Olivia to the hunters to take care of her until after the war then I will find ways to return her memories." "But what about her exams?" Beauty asked. "We will use magic for that. Leave that to us Inez and take Olivia after your exam tomorrow." I couldn't argue anymore. She won. I couldn't let Olivia stay with me even though she looked like an innocent little child. She could be dangerous and I don't know anything about her too. Taking her to the hunters was a good decision and I still have something to tell Riley. I would ask her why she didn't show up when I called the night Cleo and I made the potion. Cleo stood up. "I will get going now.""What? Where would she stay for the night?" I asked as I pointed toward Olivia who was still licking the sweet Beauty gave her. The sweet kept on popping up and doesn't want to finish. "You said she could stay in the laundry room earlier," Cleo said. "That was before she looked cute. I can't do
