Dante 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 with riff
Nadia 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 Anabelle." 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 the bedroo
Dante 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 moment I lai
Nadia 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, Alina 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. S
Nadia POV"I..I.." It was apparent that I had caught her on her tale lies. Her eyes moved around everywhere else but me, 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."Of course 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 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
Nadia POVStanding before the several faces of the witches sitting across the table, I knew it would definitely be a long evening."Kindly explain how you have a connection with the humans and how it is related to your mother's death." The queen instructed and just when I would open my mouth to speak, she halted me. "I need you to understand that if you fabricate stories and you are caught on perjury before the council, we would have you executed. So choose your words carefully." I cleared my voice, so I could be audible."Standing before this council, I wish to reveal that the human you kept in the dungeon saved me from the witch hunters, the very night I brought that head home. He was instrumental in the Killing and I won't admit that he may be harmless." Some of the council members murmured amongst themselves."And it means you have a hand in your mother's death don't you?" This question was infuriating in several ways. "I need to let this council understand that the conspiracy a
Dante's POVMorning came faster than I had expected. The night has been a little bit short as my mind has been preoccupied with several things. Reminiscing over the last statement from Anabelle, I wondered how she was able to get my name correctly, even after I never told her.A group of soldiers came to the dungeon and their leader proceeded to give me one of the most sadistic stare, right before dropping a plate on the floor."Eat, you will need all the strength you can get." I wondered what she was talking about as they moved away from the dungeon. This statement was further in correlation with the fact that Ana had revealed that they had plans to execute me. Did this meant they were going to carry out their plan?Several questions flew through my head as the scent from the plate filled my nostrils. It was in this moment I realized how hungry I was. My stomach rumbled and instinctively, I picked up the plate and realized they had prepared special potatoe porridge.One taste of the
Nadia POVWatching Dante pass out in the middle of the whipping, I realized I didn't have the moral fibre to continue with it any longer."Why did you stop?" The Queen asked, as the rest of the witches looked on. "I never asked you to stop." She added further."He is out already. The only way he will feel the pain, is if he were alive. He is unconscious and I believe his punishment should be stopped." I noticed the queen folding her hands in fist as she was apparently furious, but I would care less."Going against my orders will attract punishment young witch." I was aware of the implications, but I wouldn't let logic override my emotion. Remembering how Dante had saved me from rogues and witch hunters at the same time."My Queen, I understand that you are furious at her, but I think you should consider her point as well. What is the essence of the punishment to the human if he is unconscious." Again Alina voiced out on my behalf. I couldn't be more grateful for having such a consider
