- I think you may be right. - Vampire said enthusiastically when Katherine told him what happened during the training and her suspicions about the mysterious bracelet.- Witches often used objects that were spelled to support their powers. It is possible this one may allow her to shift and heal. - It is more than possible! - Luna interrupted him. - It has to be that, as she is not a werewolf. - Imagine how that could change our situation. Greg watched Katherine pacing around the room, with excitement shining in her eyes. It seemed like she was filled with new energy. - Without the bracelet, she won't be able to pretend anymore, and we can show everyone her true face. This nightmare would come to an end, and I could get rid of her in one blow.- Luna looked at him with a smile. - That sounds like a plan, but there is a little problem. I don't think she would give it to us without a fight.- Greg pointed out. - Of course, she would not. That is why we need to steal it.- Katherine's sm
Katherine waited for Greg to return from his mission, but after a few hours, tiredness took over her, and she fell asleep. Luna knew that when the vampire discovered anything, she would be the first to hear about it. Katherine was a little surprised by his quick departure, but he was probably just eager to learn about how to steal the mysterious bracelet. She woke up in the morning full of energy. Lina's mood lifted when she discovered that Camille was not going to join the breakfast as she was on the run in the woods. The only person she had to endure was Sean, but Katherine decided to keep their communication to the absolute minimum. Instead, Beta Calvin joined them during the meal to discuss some matters regarding future training. - You fought great yesterday, Luna.- He told her with a smile after they exchanged greetings. In return, he received a murderous glance from Sean. It was evident that Alpha did not enjoy the memory of Camille's face looking like a plum. Katherine fou
It was the middle of the night, but Camille couldn't sleep. She was twisting and trembling in her bed. Anger was boiling inside her, and she could not rest, no matter how hard she tried. Finally, she gave up and sat on her bed. She felt humiliated. Until this morning, Camille believed that the Mother would change her mind and allow her to complete her mission without interruptions. Yet she continued with instructions that were given to her. Camille convinced Sean to let her go on the run. She used her powers to shift and lead the warriors to the specific destination where other witches were supposed to wait to meet her. And they were there, four older witches from her coven. Camille was sure the Mother personally chose them, as most of them worked with her closely. Camille was livid, as it seemed like the highest witch did not believe she was competent enough for her task. Since their conversation, she has tried to understand Mother's intentions, but she could not find any reasonabl
Katherine sat on the floor and looked at Greg. She was waiting for good news, but whatever the man brought was far from that. - What do you mean by the big problem? - She asked, twisting her fingers. - You couldn't get a bracelet? - Let's forget about the bracelet for now.- Greg waves his hand at her. Katherine felt goosebumps on her skin. What could make Greg change his priorities?- What happened in here? - Vampire prince asked again, overseeing her. - What do you mean? Nothing happened. - Katherine told him, confused.- Are you sure? So can you tell me about the woman that I saw recently?- Creg gave her a hint. - Those are women that Camille found in the woods. She was on the run with our fighters. They belong to one of the packs that were recently attacked and destroyed. Sean let them stay here for a while. - Luna quickly explained the last events. Greg was listening very carefully to her every word. - You cannot be more wrong.- Greg finally said. - They are witches. Kather
Charlotte looked at the Alpha William and hissed.-Do you think you can stop us, little wolf?The man glanced at her and grinned.- I think I am doing just fine now. Do you want to try some tricks on me? Oh, I forgot, you can't. And now, if you allow, my men will take you to one of the comfortable rooms. Please feel at home. I will come to talk to you later. Alpha turned on his heels and returned to his office while his men dragged two witches away to one of the cells. He felt so good by doing this, but all he dreamed about was putting his hand on the witch that turned his life into a nightmare, the one who stole so many years from him—his so-called daughter. King Marcus was still in Alpha's office when Willam came in. - How did it go?- Vampire asked. - They were taken to the cell.- Alpha replied.- What about the bracelets? - We managed to put them on. They won't be able to use magic. - William said with a nasty grin. It was the King who gave him obsidian bracelets that were us
Charlotte watched King Marcus coming closer, and her eyes filled with terror. What did Camille get into? Why the Lord of all vampires was here? Questions were building up in her mind. It was unheard of for vampires to collaborate with werewolves. They were way above those primal creatures. Vampires were above witches, but that was a fact that any witch would say out loud. Now, this man was coming closer, and his aura was almost choking them. His presence fossilized Charlotte to the point when she was ready to scream. Probably, even Mother would feel uneasy in this situation significantly if her powers were suppressed like hers. - Which one of you would like to be first?- King Marcus asked in a calm voice, but his question made them tremble with fear. - Well, if there are no volunteers, I will pick myself. He looked at Keira, and it seemed he had made his choice. Charlotte was unsure if she felt good or bad about it. She did not want to be chosen first, but now she was forced to lo
Charlotte hoped they would be finally left in peace, as vampires got everything from them. There were no more secrets he could take from them. But she was wrong. A few hours after the interrogation, King Marcus returned to their cell.- I don't think we can help you more. - Charlotte said when he sat in front of them. - You are right. I do not need anything more from you. I came here to offer you something.- King said with a small smile. - Let me guess: we do not have a choice.- Kiera hissed. She regained consciousness after the King left and cursed herself for weakness. - Of course, you have a choice; there is always a choice. - Vampire replied gently. - Spare us this talk. What choice do we have?- Charlotte cut him off. - You are eager to hear it, so be it. - Marcus nodded his head. - Then tell us, be for we get old here. - Kiera glanced at him and smirked. - You can stick to this behavior; you will be captured and eventually die. - Vampire said sternly. - We do not need ene
Greg looked at his father, who was sitting in his favorite chair. Young Prince just listened to King's actions with Alpha William. He had to reconsider his opinion about the vampire King. He always saw his father as a traditionalist, dedicated to his kind. Except for the incident with the witches, King Marcus always kept his distance from other species. And now he involved himself in helping werewolves. That was so unlike him, but Greg liked this new version of King. Thanks to him, Greg finally understood why Camille appeared in Kathetine's and William's lives. Witches were looking for a new home. It seemed like their old territory was not enough for them. And they decided to take the werewolves' lands as theirs. That was helpful knowledge, but it was also terrifying. But at least they were warned so that they could prepare for the future. Greg couldn't wait until he shared that news with Katherine. She deserved to know what was the reason for her whole suffering. - What are we g
