Colleen had been worried since he heard the news of the overthrown mainlands. He was lying in his bed with Betty after they made love and was deep in thoughts. Betty had gone to take a shower and when she returned to join him in bed, she noticed that he was troubled.
She caressed his muscle-built chest and asked in a soft voice. “What’s wrong, baby?”
He gazed down at her, tightening his hug on her as he replied. “You worry too much. I’ll be fine.” He kissed her on the forehead softly and smiled.
“I noticed that you were far away while we were making love. Was something on your mind?”
“Yes but it’s not something that concerns you. Trust me, I’ll be fine.” Colleen reassured her as he got out of bed to take a shower. “I need to go take a shower.” He exhaled as he spoke.
Betty was not convinced that he was alright. She wanted to know why Colleen never discussed his meet
At this, Claire was pissed. She had wanted to hear some gossip since she loved to gossip about silly things.“You just bothered my sleep for nothing.” Claire was disappointed and dropped the call on her end.“I’m sorry…” Betty whispered as she lay in bed smiling to herself.Betty could not wait the next morning to ask Collen all she had heard. She was dying to see the reactions on his face when she would mention she knew his true identity.Betty showed up at Collen’s workplace the next day. he smiled and waved at her and she waved back smiling. He was going on a break in the next few seconds so she waited outside for him while he prepared himself for the break.He finished his preparations and approached her with a wide smile on his face.

Raul was upset with what he was hearing about Ella visiting Betty.“Well, she had mentioned that you loved me but I didn’t think for a second that she was capable of approaching you at your place.”“I wondered how she found me but now it’s all clear to me,” Betty added. “So she’s a werewolf too? She’s really scary.”Raul laughed and teased. “So she scares you? Did she transform in front of you?”“No she didn’t but her voice told a lot. At first, I thought that she was a witch or something but now I know.”Raul laughed.“I think she loves you. Raul.” She continued.At this, Raul’s smile turned to a frown.“She’s crazy if she thinks that she’s going to use her werewolf state to threaten me and steal my man.” Betty smacked.Raul was pleased that she said that. He was glad that she was determine
Ella had been thinking about what Betty had said days ago. She knew that Virgil was secretly seeing a witch who was excommunicated from the city long ago. She needed him to take her to see the witch so she could get some information on the supposed changer on the loose.Ella contacted Virgil as she used to when she was using him to gather information from the mainlands. She waited in their usual meeting spot in a lonely alley by the garden miles away from Raul’s workplace. Virgil showed up as usual. But this time, he was not smiling.“What is this about now? I told you that I wasn’t going to betray Collen anymore.”“This is not about Raul; so relax. In fact, you would do well to keep this secret away from him for now because it greatly affects you.” Ella defended.“What are you talking about?” Virgil frowned as he suspected she was referring to his secret meetings.“Well, let’s just say th
Hayley was unhappy about the wedding she was about to have with Stan. She knew she was rushing into things in anger and jealousy but she couldn’t bring herself to stop it because it was too late. She thought about breaking Stan’s heart and it hurt her. So she let him carry on with the wedding plans.Hayley was in her room while her sister, Kara was with the maidens downstairs choosing designs for Hayley’s wedding dress and making plans for the occasion. Soon, Kara went in to see Hayley with a few maidens who carried the chosen wedding designs to her room.“Hey, sister!” Kara entered after knocking with no answer from Hayley. She approached her bed and sat at the edge while the maidens sat on the floor holding the designs as the mayor spoke with her sister.Hayley gazed at the designs and could not bring herself to choose a color. She was too upset to make a decision.“C’mon Hayley! Take a pick. It’s your day
Hayley was shocked to hear Betty talk about Raul loving her. Betty frowned at her expression.“Were you two like dating in the mainlands?” Betty was inquisitive. She wanted to protect her man so she was trying to find out what was on Hayley’s mind to know if she was still in love with him.“No; not really,” Hayley replied looking away from her.“Do you love him?”Hayley gazed at her. “I’m planning a wedding for next month in case you haven’t noticed.”Betty smiled. “Yeah, I noticed. Just wanted to find out if you are planning to be a runaway bride.” She laughed.Hayley did not find that funny.Immediately, a maid knocked on her door to inform her that the mayor wanted to see her. She appreciated the maid and turned to Betty.“You better leave now.” She stepped out with Betty following behind her.“C’mon on… I want
Flint set out to western aisles the following morning. He got there and was spotted a few meters away by the soldiers on duty who had announced his arrival to the others. There was panic and the soldiers took form for battle.Flint returned to his human form, raised his hands in the air, and surrendered. “I come in peace.”Lucas was watching from his rooftop. He watched Flint through a stethoscope and saw that he was alone and different somehow. Lucas saw his soldiers check him for weird magical stuff and found that he was clean.“Let him in,” he ordered them.They released Flint from their grasp and let him into the territory. Flint saw Lucas gazing at him from the rooftop and stopped to look at him. Lucas was mad at him but there was something about Flint on this particular day that calmed Lucas down when he remembered how he had betrayed them.“What brings you here?” Lucas asked wearing a straight look on his
Raul had returned home from work to find Ella waiting at his doorstep. He rolled his eyes and walked past her to unlock the door. She knew that he was mad at her for threatening Betty but that was far from the reason why she was there.She followed behind him and entered the house after him. Nobody else was home but them. Kal was at Tom’s, Virgil had gone on his usual secret meetings with the old witch while May and Lyono were out exploring the city with Claire. Raul headed into the kitchen to get a drink of water while she sat in the living room waiting for him.She was tired of the silent treatment she was getting from Raul and needed to change the situation. So she approached him in the kitchen where he stood for a glass of water and after a few moments of trying to choose her words, she said in a cool voice.“I can understand why you would give me this silent treatment but I beg you to hear me out.”Raul said nothing. He dropped the
Hayley drove Betty to the train station where she was supposed to board a train back to the city. Hayley had become good friends since spending time together in Wizzletown. Betty had assisted Hayley with her wedding plans and given her a touch of luxury when it came to wedding decorations in the human world.They sat in Hayley’s car for a while, chatting while they waited for her train to arrive.“It was a pleasure having you, Betty. I know we kicked off on the wrong foot but I’m glad that I can boast of having a human friend in you.” Hayley began after a moment of silence.“I feel the same way too,” Betty replied. Then she asked. “You never gave me your thought on my decision to become like one of you.”Hayley exhaled in confusion and added. “I don’t know what to tell you.” She paused and continued. “The truth is, I’m not the one to judge… and in fact, I appreciate that
