Chapter 31JasonAs we walked towards the meeting point, I couldn't shake off the feeling of impending danger. The sky was dark and the wind was howling like an angry beast. Keith seemed oblivious to the atmosphere, but I couldn't help but feel on edge. I kept scanning the surroundings, trying to spot any hidden threats that might be lurking in the shadows.We finally arrived at the entrance of an old abandoned warehouse. I recognized it immediately. Tobi and I used to play there when we were kids. It had been so long since the last time we were there, and I had forgotten the road that led to the place.Keith's phone suddenly rang, startling me more than him. He flashed his phone’s screen at me and I saw that it was Tobi. He picked up the call and put the phone on speaker. “Where are you?” Keith asked with anxiousness evident in his tone.“Hello there Lucifer, you are looking the same,” Tobi whined.“Where the hell ar
Chapter 32JasonKeith packed the car in front of my house, and we stepped down so I could go into my house and grab nothing–my silly attempt to make him go away didn’t work.As I took a few steps away from the car towards my front door, I heard a rush of wind, and my nostrils caught the scent of wolves. I whirled around, alert and ready to defend myself. Keith was already in alpha mode–glaring with red eyes, and his long wolf claws. He growled as more parts of his body morphed into his wolf self.One of the men stepped forward, shaking in terror as he explained that they weren’t there to fight, but were simple messengers from the second Prince of the Juno pack. They dropped the bombshell that Davina was with the Evans and she was safe and sound, recovering from her wound.As the men from the Juno pack left, Keith turned to me and asked, "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."I shook my head, trying to shake off the disappointment. "Nothing, I'm fine," I lied. “I almost di
Chapter 32JasonMy mind was racing with thoughts of what could have happened if Keith hadn't received that message. Would Tobi still be alivIt's best to leave the unknown alone!I could tell Tobi was nervous as I approached him. He knew that I was not happy with him, but he didn't know the extent of my anger. I needed to find out what went wrong with his plan and why he didn't have the amulet."Tobi, we need to talk," I said, my voice low and threatening.Tobi swallowed hard and nodded, his eyes darting around nervously. I could tell he was scared, but I needed answers."What happened to the amulet, Tobi? Why didn't you have it?" I asked, my tone leaving no room for lies or excuses."I was being watched, Jason. I couldn't risk being seen with it. I thought it would be safer to wait until we were somewhere more secure," Tobi explained, his voice shaking slightly.I understood his reasoning, but I couldn't help feeling frustrated. “We need to close the deal with Keith as soon as poss
Chapter 34KeithI had just received a message from Tobi that Jason was on his way to meet me. I didn't know what was going on, but it seemed urgent. I had to prepare for whatever was coming.I quickly made my way to my safe room and grabbed the ring that Tobi had told me about. I had to keep it safe at all costs. It was the key to everything.As I waited for Jason to arrive, I tried to calm my nerves. I didn't know what was happening, but I knew it couldn't be good. I had to be ready for whatever was coming.When Jason arrived, he looked panicked and out of breath. "Keith, we need to talk," he said urgently.I nodded and motioned for him to sit down. "What's going on?" I asked, handing him a glass of wine."The amulet is cursed, Keith. We had no idea. Tobi didn't know until recently. It's causing him to get sick, and whoever has it is in grave danger," Jason explained, his voice shaking.I couldn't believe what I was hearing. A cursed amulet? This was worse than I could have ever ima
Chapter 35JasonThe sorcerer laughed cruelly. "Oh, I think I will. You're no match for me," he said, raising his hand and summoning a bolt of dark energy.I didn't hesitate. I dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the blast. I knew I had to stay on the move if I wanted to survive.As I moved, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small pouch of powder. It was a mixture of rare herbs and spices that I had been collecting for years, and I knew it had potent magical properties.With a flick of my wrist, I tossed the powder towards the sorcerer, chanting an incantation under my breath. The powder exploded in midair, and a cloud of smoke enveloped the sorcerer.I used the distraction to my advantage. I ran towards the sorcerer, leaping into the air and landing a powerful kick to his chest. He stumbled backward, his eyes widening in surprise."You're stronger than you look," he said, his voice strained.I didn't give him a chance to recover. I lunged forward, landing a series of quick
Chapter 36JasonI managed pick up Lucifer on my shoulder and head towards the palace, as soon as I am at the gates some servants brought a stretcher immediately and Keith was placed on it as they head to his room I ran towards the doctors chamber to call his attention, the doctor was surprised to see the alpha not healing immediately as he is supposed to, looking at the questionable expression on his face, I said " don't be surprised doctor, he was hit by a sorcerer, so don't stand there be watching make sure you take good care of him" I will be back soon". I walked out and head to my house.I walked down the street with my hand on my dagger, feeling like I was being watched. The shadows seemed to be closing in on me, and I quickened my pace, eager to get to a safer place.As I turned a corner, I was confronted by a group of men. They were all dressed in black and had their faces covered, but I could tell from the way they moved that they were
As I lay on my bed, I couldn't help but feel the weight of my responsibilities as the Alpha of the Antarti pack. Being the leader of a pack comes with its own challenges and struggles, and I had been through quite a few in my time.One of the most pressing matters on my mind was my relationship with Davina and not mating which has started having a toll on me. She was a strong and powerful wolf, but we had never really seen eye to eye. Our constant fights and disagreements had taken a toll on both of us, and I couldn't help but wonder if we were meant to be mates.But my thoughts soon shifted to the battle that had left me injured. It had been a fierce and brutal fight, and I had barely made it out alive. It was only thanks to the alpha blood that runs through my vein I had been able to survive.The strength in me passed down through generations of Alphas in my pack, and it was said to hold powerful magic that could protect its bearer in times of need. And
DavinaI was planning to capture Jason, little did I know that he was also planning to capture me. But being the smart and cunning person that I am, I hired some rogues to do the job for me. Everything was going according to plan until I noticed something that made me stop dead in my tracks. During the fight, I saw my husband Keith, the alpha, involved and injured. We were not on good terms, but seeing him hurt like that made me feel guilty and sympathetic towards him. I could fight and injure him myself, but I couldn't bear the thought of a stranger doing the same to him."What the hell are you doing here, Keith?" I asked, trying to hide the concern in my voice."We were out for a little business and then we got attacked, so we have to defend ourselves," he replied, wincing in pain."I know you need my help," I snapped back. "You can't handle this on your own."He grinned but deep down, he was grateful to hear I am willing
