Thank you for reading my book. I really hope you liked it Xoxo, Coo.
WRITER'S POV Rafael immediately walked to the cell where Gwen was being held and asked the guards around to leave so he could question her privately. "You said something about him being accompanied by someone?" Rafael asked Gwen, who was bound by chains on both hands and feet. "Yes, do you think I won't be able to handle a person who just found out he could use magic?" She snapped. "I did not say I don't believe you; what did she look like?" Rafael asked, biting his fingers like he feared her response. "She had platinum hair, and her eyes were too glittery and blue; she looked like a real human woman till the moment she started to glow." " Her....." Gwen cried, her eyes tearing up. "It's exactly as I feared." He already has a guardian beside him; I don't know how that's possible," Rafael replied, turning to leave. "Why do you want to kill him?" Gwen yelled in despair, and Rafael raced back in. "How dare you yell that?" Rafael spoke fiercely; he walked close to her and took her
"Do you not want me to stay?" Giselle asked as I stood with my hands crossed over my chest while she stood on my doorstep.She came unannounced, not like she ever tells me before she comes, saying she was going to be staying with me for a few weeks because she believes I'm lonely and likely to make vile decisions.She was dressed in a black long jacket, black shorts, and, I kid you not, a top hat, looking like a low-budget magician."Come in," I muttered, moving aside for her to step in. I didn't notice a suitcase till she was fully inside the apartment."Wow! "You are really serious," I said unbelievably, and I walked to my room and slammed the door behind her. It wasn't making any sense at all,"Open the door this instant before I get mad," she yelled, banging on the door, and I swear I saw a lightning bolt pass through the door knob."You of all people should know that I've been through so much to let a threat get to me."The banging stopped, and I thought she just wanted to trick
Rowena******I flew into the air at the first attack Gwen threw at me; my magic wasn't working. I could hear sounds of Jaden getting mercilessly beaten, and I hit the ground."Focus, Ro. Channel your emotions." I whispered to myself and kept whispering, but it was like pouring water on stone.Fruitless!Was I hallucinating the last time?I stretched my hands and imagined myself levitating, still channeling my rage and the thousand emotions I was feeling; it worked perfectly in my head, but I was still firmly rooted to the ground.Great! I got into a fight with wizards without checking if my powers worked."You would have made it a lot easier for the both of us if you had just let him go." "Now take a look at him," Gwen laughed as she slowly lifted me in the air. For the first time since our fight started, I caught a glimpse of Jaden.Sprawled on the floorHalf-dead maybewith blood coming out everywhere.Gwen's twin sister is definitely a lot more twisted."I thought
Chapter 10Writer's povBack at the covenRafael paced back and forth in his chambers, clutching his pocket dagger tightly, showing how irritated he was getting. Gwendoline and Georgia were supposed to be back with great news long before now, but they were both nowhere to be seen. Not even a sign of Prince Jaden, at least.Rafael was obviously running out of patience, and it was evident in his facial expression as beads of sweat ran freely from his forehead down to his slightly pointed nose."The Queen demands your presence immediately, sir Rafael."With a wave of his hand, Rafael dismissed the guard that had come to deliver the message to him. "Why does she want to see me?" he thought. "Gwen has probably messed things up again."He dabbed his face with a towel and made sure he looked as relaxed as possible. If by chance the Queen found out about his plan to kill the prince, he was ready to deny every bit of it.One more glance at the mirror and he was sure he was good to go, then he h
Chapter 11*Writer's pov*"Howdy, mate," Aaron's unpolished British accent jolted Jaden back to the present, and he turned to face him fully. The cup of coffee in his hand was steaming hot and still looked untouched. "What's bothering you, Jaden?""This is the most complicated case I've ever handled in a long time." "Why is everything taking so long?"Aaron kept staring at him, you know, with that "are you sure about that?" look."You know...." Aaron started and slowly sat at the edge of the desk. "You can lie to any other person in this entire world, including your uncle, but you can't lie to me." C'mon, man, tell me what's eating you up. I know it's something more than this case."Jaden stopped what he was fake-typing and relaxed in his chair, stroking his chin. He struggled with different thoughts about whether or not to tell Aaron about all his encounters, about Elle or the sons of Zed or the twin witches that attacked him, about his realistic dreams that had just been reoccurring
Chapter 12 Rowena's pov I stared at the note, totally unfazed, probably because I had Giselle by my side. "Who could have sent this?" She asked, ripping it to pieces. "Who else? Definitely the wizards," I replied and walked away. "Where do you think you're going to?" Giselle asked as I grabbed my coat from the top of the chair I was sitting on earlier. "To see that Jaden's okay," I replied without giving her a look, and she pulled me before I could get to the door. "You get a death threat, and the next thing on your mind is finding your little lovebird?" She yelled. "I'm not going to look for you this time," she added, tightening her grip around my arm. "You and I both know who they're after," I yelled back, wriggling myself from her grip and storming out the door. I got out of the house and took a taxi to my workplace; that's the easiest way to know where Jaden works, plus I haven't been there for days now, so I at least owe them an apology. Jaden's pov "Are you going to t
Chapter 13Jeremy's pov"Did you get my coffee?"I raised my head from my computer after a few seconds of not getting an answer from Aaron. I looked at him, and he had that annoying smirk on his face."Can you not joke around?" "I really need the coffee."He dropped the coffee on my desk and shrugged.Then he turned and left. Heaven knows what his problem is, but I'll take care of whatever it is later. I have work to do.Speaking of work, I've been staring at all the files in front of me for the past few minutes. These were evidence against Carrie's boyfriend. Everything was as clear as day, but something was still off."Hey Jeremy, you might want to see this."I got up lazily and walked up to where Xavier, someone I work with, sat in front of his laptop. There were photos from the crime scene that I hadn't actually taken time to study."Look, Jeremy, there's a wine glass at the table, and there's an empty bottle of Rittenhouse Rye." According to all her medical records, she's not an a
Chapter 14Writer's povAt the covenRafael paced back and forth in his chambers, with one hand in his pocket and the other caressing his pocket dagger.As usual.Now that he had the Queen on his side in his quest to kill the Prince, he could act freely and scheme whatever he wanted in the open."Now... I want you both to understand that the Queen has approved the death of Jaden. "So you're no longer working for just me but for the Queen, and with that, by her orders, I send you out at this moment to bring back the prince, dead or alive." He said it gleefully."Actually dead, preferably." "I don't want to know whether he has a guardian or not; all I care about is his life."He turned to face the twins fully after his statement. Rafael had already released them after his discussions with the Queen, although he didn't tell her that he had been plotting Jaden's death long ago, nor did he say why he locked the twins up "We're not promising anything, Rafael, but we'll try our very best."
