“And what might that be Queen Sabella ” Queen Ella asked with a raised brow, “the men that killed Thorne hand them over, they need to be punished in some way to appease the lycans”.“I’m afraid I can’t do that Queen Sabella, those men are under my protection and they only defend themselves and if the lycans want a war they will get one, my region is ready to fight to the death to protect those men”.“I see, if that’s the part you choose to take the council will not involve themselves in this matter” Sabella said as she watched Queen Ella walk down from the podium.“if the council will not investigate this then I will take my leave” Queen Ella said, “so you rather go to war with the lycans than give those men up” Sabella asked.“Yes, Queen Sabella, Thorne was the one who attacked first and my men only defended their region and Queen, so they did nothing wrong in my eyes and I won’t give them up”. “Queen Ella your loyalty to your people is to be admired but what Sabella suggested is no
Back at the east castle.....“Of all the responsible you three could have done this is by far the stupidest, what where you think coming after me what if they had locked you up” Queen Ella said as she paced back and forth in the throne room Adrian, Serena and Stephen were at the bottom of the throne with their heads bowed, “we really weren’t thinking” Serena answered, “we just couldn’t let you go there without any proof” Stephen added.“I had it handled, Adrian I expected this behavior from the two of them but not you” Queen Ella scolded."We apologize Queen Ella but Stephen is right, with the evidence we provided they would have not investigated Elena,”“don’t try to manipulate your way out of this, you were wrong and shouldn’t have come” Queen Ella said as her gaze moved from Adrian to Stephen to Serena, “but you are right, it was good thinking but you guys should not go behind my back again, do I make myself clear”.“Crystal” the three of them say “You are dismissed, go and thin
Killian was gathering his documents into one pile when he heard a faint knock from his study door, wondering who it was at this time of the day, “come in” Killian said as the study door creaked open and Elena walked in she was dressed in normal clothing with hood over her head. She wore this disguise in case anyone recognised her. It took a few minutes before Killian was able to recognise her “well Hello Elena, what do I owe the pleasure of your visit” Killian asked with a smile as he watched her take a seat in front of him, he already knew why she was here, he heard everything from Seraphina the Elf Queen about what Queen Ella had done.“You know why I’m here, Throne is dead and my sister has chosen to betray me by going to the council” Elena said as she watched the man seating before her with uneasy eyes, she never trusted him which made her wary of him. Killian wasn’t a man you trusted so easily he was you typical example of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.Killian was the man in the sh
A few days later after Queen Ella had reported Queen Elena to the council, the council immediately placed spies in Elena’s region, pending the investigation. Even if she was the Grand High Witch, they still had to look into the charges lodged against her. Killian, who was one of the council members, was the first to inform Elena that the council was going to put her under investigation which made her furious.As days went by and Elena noticed she couldn’t leave the castle as freely as she wanted without being watched so she results to dressing up as a maid in order to leave the castle without being detected, but she still wasn't able to fool Hunter, Ella’s spy in the castle,he always informed Ella about her sister’s every move even before the investigation issue began.Hunter has always been by Ella's side ever since she became Queen, he had always admired her for her loyalty to her people and along the line that admiration turned into affection and then love. But he couldn’t confess h
The cave was dark, their only source of light was the flashlights they were using as they walked towards Veratora's tomb. But Elena noticed something suspicious about the fireflies in the cave. She had seen them somewhere but couldn't remember where, but she figured it's better."Don't let them touch you," Elena said, still wondering where she had seen the fireflies, then it clicked. She recalled they were called Mesopo fireflies — extremely poisonous files they were made by the first Witch to defend the bodies of her dead children. It is said that a single perch on the skin could be deadly, it was even taught in class. We were shown pictures of the victims and it was not a pretty sight"Why?" one of the men asked, but before Elena could respond, three out of the five remaining guards suddenly stopped, their skin colour began to turn snow white and they shook and fell, spasming uncontrollably and began to foam in the mouth-a shred of evidence that the files had touched them somehow.El
Lisa stared at her mother waiting for an explanation, "I asked you a question mother, what demon are you talking about, who killed Sarah?" Lisa yelled at her mother rage evident in her tone "Veratora of course, I made a deal with her, and she took Sarah as payment!" Elena mumbled nor realising what she had just said because she was overcome by grief, Lisa crawled further away from her mother, staring at her with fear I herf eyes."No that can't be true, mother you wouldn't do that" Lisa said as she tried to wrap her head around what her mother had just confessed, her mother sacrificed her own daughter to a demon for a wish.In fear and disgust, Lisa ran out of h1er little sister's room heading for the servant quarters trying to get away from her mother so she could wrap her head around what her mother had just confessed. She found a dark corner to hide herself in, rocking back and forth as her mother's confession kept replaying in her head. Her mother killed her sister for power. T
Killian Estate in the wolf region…On getting back to the wolf region, Killian felt his bond with his mate weaken but he brushed it off, thinking maybe she had fallen asleep. Killian smiled to himself gloating in his victory, he was already one step close to getting everything he wanted, after the council was destroyed no one would dare cross him.He would rule the whole supernatural species with his dear Elena by his side, Killian had always loved Elena even if he already had a mate, what he felt towards his mate wasn't love but possessiveness due to the mate bond, he could reject her but he needed her to give birth to his heirs, that's was the only reason he kept her with him.But her stay with him will soon come to an end, she was eight months pregnant with two twin boys and by the time he gives him his heirs she would be out of his life and he would take Elena as his Queen.On getting to his mansion he descends the carriage walking into his home, his beta Daniel is the first to gr
East region……Ella paced back and forth in the throne room, everything wasn’t going according to plan, in such a short amount of time everything had been ruined and a little girl's life was lost along the line. Where did she go wrong?She still couldn’t believe how her sister could do such a thing and to her own child at that, another thing she couldn’t believe was that Veratora was real, their mother always told them about her and that she wasn't to be trusted, what she took in exchange for a wish was always extreme.But Elena still went along and asked her for a wish. Did her search for power make her irrational? She had to do something about her before she ruined another person's life.She was lost in thought and wasn’t paying attention when the guards announced Serena’s arrival. Serena walked in, drawing her out of her dark musings. One glance at the girl showed she had been crying. Ella’s heart constricted with empathy. She knew Serena loved Stephen like a brother even if they j
