Reed’s pov
I opened my eyes once I was sure it was safe. Once my feet finally make the contact with the ground. Seriously, I am not even angry now. Every fucking time, does something like that.
I sighed tiredly, already fed up with her mind games, I know how it work, after all I was the personal experiment of hers for years. And now I have dragged Asher with me in this mess. Asher was right behind me and there was no sign of Hecate. I looked around and immediately regretted my decision to asked for help from her.
“Where are we?” Asher asked genuinely confused, I could easily sense the feeling if distress in his voice. it was the witches’ graveyard. He looked around suspiciously and so do I. I have been here before, I remembered this place in the back of my head.
“Don’t breath from your nose, it will make you nauseous. We are in witches’ territory.” I said ad started walking ahead passing thr
Reed's Pov“So, she did come after all huh?” Diana asked as she walked past the circle, examining the ingredients and finally stopped in front of me. she held her hand out for me which I took willingly and stood on my feet.I nodded as the answer to her previous question and she hummed, look lost in her thoughts.“Don’t worry about him. he will be alright. Hecate won’t kill him. In fact, that will be easier for him then.” She said and I narrowed my eyes.“He knows what he was gotten himself into. You can’t save him.” she said and raised her hands in defence. She knows I know she cared for him too but she didn’t want to show it. We are in a huge mess and nothing can be straightened out if don’t wrap our minds around the single task we have on our hands now.“Where is August?” I asked fearing if she also made some shady deal with some goddess
Reed’s pov I lifted the lifeless body of the boy. What was his name again? Liam. If my memory serves me correct, the girl who died before called him Liam. His body was cold like ice and his skin was tough now probably due to rigor mortis. Asher must have gone all the way back to their pack to pick his body. I can tell Diana must have find him because nobody other than me and August knew where he was. we didn’t remember telling her either. Maybe she asked August after he left with her. I clutched his body tighter. Liam was an alpha blood so he deserves a proper funeral like his father. He will be buried alongside his family in my pack, not like the others nameless graves we dug for others. I will make sure of that. that’s only thing I could do now. If only I was much more attentive, if only I was one step ahead to think about the next move of Ravenna. If o
Reed’s pov “Fuck.” I can’t believe my eyes. It actually worked. The boy I carried myself from the car’s trunk. I swear he was not breathing a minute ago and now. now he was living proof of the fact that Diana could not only raise the dead but is truly capable of doing something so powerful. The boy slowly blinked; he first look at himself as if not believing where he is. His eyes soon finds the circle surrounding him and for a second, I saw the candle flickered and his eyes darkened. It was gone in split second. I blinked back to look at the boy and before I could register the boy was on his feet trying to get out if the circle. He started punching through the air but his hands were restricted in the circle. That was why Diana told me my circle was not powerful. Hecate walked through them without any problem. But then she was a goddess. we are dealing with an undead here. “Where am I?” the boy growle
Reed’s pov“I hope your soul found peace now and may you rest among side your family.” I put the final sand on the ground with the shovel and make it even until, I was sure. I had to put the tombstone here to mark it as a proper grave.Derek and his wife’s body have been already buried alongside Liam. My heart felt heavy for the loss. I offered Derek a part of my land and what did he got in return, his whole family doomed to death, including his whole pack.Not a single survivor left to tell what actually happened to them. countless lives, men, women, children, not a single live spared. “You are quite good at this now. aren’t you?” I heard the sound of the person I don’t want to talk right now. Not at this moment. My heart screeched beneath my chest just to her voice.“First Selene, then Andrew, his wife, his son. How many can die i
Reed’s povI put my foot on the gas peddle and drive ahead, my gaze soon find the smoke coming from the direction of the pack house and I know Diana did the job. She light the whole place to fire to erase everything.As much as I hate to see it. I have to do it. I can’t trust Ravenna. she is a epitome of evil. I can ask Diana to find out by incantation but that will only ask for more time. time I don’t have a luxury to waste anymore.Ravenna is nifty, she might have cursed someone of their pack member before leaving them for me to find out, they died on my place and might cause something harmful to my land or my people. Only the fire can purify what she had done. I rubbed my eyes and turned the steering.I can’t trust Ravenna. She is wicked and the most powerful now, considering she had the blade. Hecate won’t interfere as she already went rogue and decided to leave the coven. Hecate is a deity and a witch bu
Reed’s pov“So, now the dear Asher had also visited the infamous witches’ land. We all are on the same ground. Like a happy family.” Diana said and almost stopped herself from chuckling out aloud, cutting the silence. Diana was sitting at the back; Asher was by my side already busy in his thoughts. I was driving the car which was a pretty distraction for me.I tried my best not to divert my gaze from the road and yet keeping my ear on their conversation and thanks to Diana it was getting pretty much amusing by every passing second.I can tell by the voice of Diana she was thoroughly enjoying the fact that Asher was ‘abducted’ by Hecate. She was loving it seeing the emotion of demise on Asher’s face. Sometimes I am way too scared seeing this sadistic side of hers.He is a true witch through and through. She didn’t miss a single chance to torment someone verbally
Reed’s pov“Promise me you’ll be safe.” She said and her eyes followed Asher as well. He nodded and I walked back to the car not before looking back at my shoulder to answer her. “You too.”Diana opened the portal in the wood and jumped inside her. I didn’t start the engine until the portal closes. Once I was sure, Diana was gone I stared the engine and drove in the direction of place I was longing to reach as soon as possible.My mind was not at peace, someone was conspiring among us, one of us. Azra confirmed it before we send him back to the underworld. But who? I know only rogue king won’ be enough for what Ravenna had in mind.“Asher do you know someone by the name of Azra?” I asked and glanced at him through the corner of my eye.“No, why? Does it have to do something back at the pack house?” he asked and opened his eyes to look back at me. I know I got h
(Three days before the car crash) Esma’s pov “Still banging your head in the books?” I heard Dumeny's voice from behind and I shut my diary as soon as I heard him coming in my direction. I have been writing everything since last night in this diary. Since I met Moona. Thanks to the evening primrose, my memories were intact but as the time passes, the primrose witters and so did my memories of last night. I have been writing non stop and everything I could remember but as the clock ticks, my mind started playing with me. it all seems like I was in a delusional paranoa. If it was not for the early two pages I wrote, I would have thought of it as a dream shrugged it off. But it wasn’t. I wrote this as the first thing. Everything was real. “You ditched me at the morning breakfast, what you been writing here?” he asked genuinely curi
