CHAPTERRex POVThe world stopped almost the second I laid eyes on the young maiden right before me. There was something about her that pulled me close, but I couldn't lay hands to it. At her left hand, I noticed a dagger and it was apparent she was up to no good. Her pale body, coupled with her long nails gave me the hint that she was a witch."What do you want from me?" I pulled my riffles and aimed it directly at her. She had her hands up in the air, her eyes still holding signs of recognition."What is strange is that I have seen you before and this scene several times." Her statement caught me off guard. I perfectly understood the fact that witches were magical creatures, but I never knew they could speak parables as well."What are you talking about." She was about to explain, when a bright light flashed across the tunnel, almost blinding my vision."Good Job Mr. Taylor, we will take it from here." Adjusting my eyesight to the light, several men had surrounded the tunnel, all wi
Chapter Rex POVI was lost in her eyes, the moment she came out of the woods. I wondered if she was ever stalking me."What are you doing here.. Especially with a dagger in your hands." She dropped her dagger and seemed to be contemplating about something. On a closer look to her demeanor, I noticed she was a little moody; almost in the same manner as someone who was sulking."None of your business." She indicated placing the dagger back into her cloak and attempting to leave."It would have been none of my business initially, but considering I saved your life from the witch hunters, I think I deserve some credits." I revealed with a smile up on my face. She literally rolled her eyes at me, walking casually over to my side with a look of no emotion laced up on her face."Listen to me human, I don't want to have anything to do with your creature and indeed I am truly grateful for your help, which is why I am showing mercy. I had the intention of slitting that throat of yours, the mome
Daphine POVReturning back to the coven, several of the witches gathered at the queen's mansion, while we stepped foot into the building. Murmus and whispers flying around ad they had their eyes set on me.Once we arrived at the chambers, Ann and the rest of the witches left, leaving me alone to confront the queen. I heaved in a breathe and eventually let the chambers open, revealing the queen staring at an art on the wall, with her hands folded behind her. She was all dressed in the royal black robe and she looked effortlessly beautiful."You left the coven with a dagger and despite my order for you not to leave, you still disobeyed me. What does that tells you about your attitude young witch?" She asked making a turn to stare at me, with her usual customary emotionless look."I am sorry. I was engulfed in my emotion. I really needed to take the head of the humans one by one." I admitted honestly."And where did that lead you?" She asked raising an eye brow and chuckling afterwards.
Chapter Daphine POVThe entire coven had gathered at the peak of the moon, dancing and singing across the fires of the night. The smile on the face of the queen showed that I would be fully welcomed as one of the witches to the pack. "Tonight, you have shown that you are not only a true witch, but could pose as a warrior as well." The Queen revealed, holding up the head of the witch hunter. "She didn't just bring any head to the coven, she brought to us, the head of a witch hunter. It shows how much bravery she posses and indeed you shall be inducted properly." The next few minutes were spent on rituals and eventually I felt a surge of energy running through my veins, after I had taken a potion given to me by the queen."Welcome to the Coven Ivory." The rest of the witches all screamed in joy. I could see the smile beaming through my mother's face as she watch the induction go on.Once the ceremony was over, I was left alone heading towards my home, after a hectic day. I dashed to t
Daphine POV"I..I.." It was apparent that I had caught her on her lies. Her eyes moved around, possibly searching for something to say."You are stuttering now aren't you? This is because you know I am saying the truth. You lied and thought I would never find out." She sighed for a moment and look up at me with an evil smirk on her face."Ofcourse I did say something about you. We both know that you have a chemistry with the human. It all run through the course of your vein, your hormones cannot resist it and we both know I am not lying." I couldn't contain my fury anymore, in that moment I slapped her across the face, the impact attracting the attention of several of the witches."You stupid bitch." She launched at me and we both got into serious brawls, pulling at each other's hair. I rolled her towards the floor, trying to get the upper hand, but Imade was pretty much strong on her own accord."Both of you, stop this madness at once!" The queen's voice beckoned and the both of us,
ChapterDaphine POVThe moment I stepped into the chamber,the several chattering stopped and everyone had their eyes on me. The queen was already seated and she was in her usual state of stoicism. From my peripheral vision, Alina was also seated as well, she had a smile on her face acknowledging my presence."First of all I need to air out my displeasure once again, when you disobeyed my orders. Ana in this coven, one of the key core values is respect to the queen. I asked you to whip him a hundred times and you stopped halfway. What the you want the rest of the witches to think about this silly act of yours?" I controlled the wailing emotions building up within me, as I attempted to speak."My Queen, I have respect for you. However in that circumstance you just mentioned, we are considered to be emphatic towards people. He was at the verge of death..." The queen's hand raised high up in the air, had me stop my sentence abruptly."Indeed we possess emphathy, but I will need you to und
Daphine POVThe night was cold and several members of the coven had apparently gone to bed. I walked through the long path separating houses in the coven apart. The night may be pitch black, but I could still make out possible figures which was approaching my direction.Upon coming towards my view, I realized it was the Agnostic witch. Many tales have been told about the old woman. So many people believed she was rather much quiet because she knows the entire secret to attaining great power. Although I found the entire tale a myth, it couldn't be possible ignored."Can you help me child? I am completely exhausted and the loads are too heavy for me at this point." She revealed, upon laying eyes on me. It would be our first encounter together and even though there were flying rumours about her, I volunteered to help her.The loads were indeed heavy as we walked through the houses, till we got to an old hut which was at the outskirt of the coven. I had no clue about where she stays and ov
Chapter Rex POVExhausted, agony, broken. These were the words to describe my current state. The wolf hunters didn't take it easy with me. They all kept hitting every part of my body and just like their leader had said, I could only help but stare at my blood, which was splattered across the place.Despite the beatings, I was committed to never going to reveal the witch's coven to them. I was determined further to leave this place and return back to the coven. The door suddenly burst open and the wolf hunters stepped back in alongside their leader, whose name I had learnt to be Carlson."Such beautiful art I must say." Carlson's statement was referenced to the wolf hunters. "I am glad that he is in this state." His smiles immediately dissipated, while he leaned down at me."You can be saved from this torture my friend. I don't need you to do anything other than letting us know where these wolves are hiding." He stood back up and walked up to another witch hunter, grabbing something f
