The woman at the entrance, identified as Clover, hesitated for a moment before showing me the way. Blue fire ignited in several torches that had remained hidden from view. It was a long, long way up a dark mountain. It would take me hours to get up there, but I couldn't back down at this point.
Apparently, it was not the most usual thing in the world to demand a meeting, but Clover said that just because I was Eleanor's daughter, Ihad that privilege. She also warned me that some witches may not be happy with my entry into the community. She was kind, if a little cautious when speaking to me. She was in charge of lighting the way throughout the night, walking beside me in silence.
After a short flight from reaching the top, she said goodbye with a small bow.
"I wish you the best of luck, daughter of Eleonor."
"Thanks, Clover."
Climbing was easier than I ex
However, he did not accept my hand. Suddenly I was wrapped in a tight hug. He was so tall that his whole body wrapped around me protectively. The warmth of him enveloped me, the magic around him are warm and gentle. I felt like the little girl who got lost in the woods so long ago. "I'm home, Grandpa." I felt tears burn in my eyes. "Estelle," he murmured painfully, crying bitterly. "I'm here…" "My little girl. Where have you been all this time?" "There's no time for this." I pulled away a bit, feeling uncomfortable at everyone's gaze. "I need you to call an urgent meeting."
At first my grandfather looked at me like I had lost my mind. He was shocked and surprised at my words. Then he got up and gave me a warm hug. He seemed a tougher man than he really was. And I was going to tell him that his son was a crazy psycho from hell. It was not a good impression. I vaguely remembered some moments with my grandfather. He could never leave the position in the community, but sometimes Mom would make him come visit us. He was a loving and warm grandfather who always took care of both Gabriel and me. In fact, he was the victim of our jokes more than once. I smiled at the slight memory. It was a hot day in my old pack, so Gabriel and I decided it was a good idea to cool Grandpa while he slept. He tortured us with his magic for a long time as punishment, making us wet every two minutes. In our defence, he seemed hot
I was overwhelmed. I wanted to cover my ears and roll into a corner. I wanted to disappear and return to the safety of Adrien's arms. I wanted to take refuge and disappear from the peace of the earth. But here I was, in the middle of all the chaos. "Be quiet!" Ordered my grandfather, who was silent the entire time. "Estelle, you better explain yourself right now." I nodded, acknowledging that he was right. Talking half was not the solution. "Allen Samuel spent years wandering the earth, reincarnating in all kinds of species," I began with the information Donovan had given me. "The mother moon did not want to give him power, so for many years he was human, along with the reincarnation of Samantha Eleanor. Their souls are united and will always be reborn as brothers. The mother moon wanted to give Samantha Eleanor what she had tak
I was ashamed of myself.God.What had I done? Possibly I ruined all my chances of getting a royal alliance. Adrien would be mad at me, Donovan would be mad at me.I was upset with myself.I got carried away by my bad temper and screwed up. I knew it from the moment I left the room. I bit my nail, trying to think. If I went inside again, perhaps I could apologise and speak more calmly. I couldn't be that impulsive, not when my pack depended on me.I received a message from my grandfather written in neat handwriting. I knew that he wrote it with magic while he tried to calm the bunch of witches who were probably asking for my head."Estelle, go rest somewhere. I'll let you know when everything is ready. In the meantime, I'll try to fix this. Try not to get in any more trouble, please."I read his words several times, pr
The voice was tender and soft. Delicate and firm. I knew who it belonged to, even when I couldn't see it. I had heard it in my dreams, in my memories. I listened to her when I felt lost, as if her whispers had permeated my mind. Lily smiled at me just before doing something with her hands, allowing me to see my mother. She was wearing a long dress, the purest white. Her eyes were blue, so different from mine, yet her brown hair, her lips and her nose were the same as mine. I couldn't help running straight into her arms, crying. I was in front of my mother. Something that I always wanted and never believed was possible. Her body felt warm, full of life. I enjoyed the warmth of her and the smell of her. Her arms surrounded my body as if they wanted to keep me safe. The people were right. There were no better hugs than Mom's. "My sweet
"You'll be faced with something so hard. I regret not being helpful to you, Ellie. I would like to give you all the tools, show you the way, but even I don't know how to solve this." My mother's lament hurt in my heart, for that reason, I decided to give her some comfort. My mother had already helped me so many times that I would not be able to count them. My mother frowned, cocking his head slightly. She looked confused and fascinated in equal parts. She was so beautiful. Ineffable. So amazing. She overflowed with light, as if she were a heavenly being. And I knew that somehow she was. Reincarnation of Samantha Eleanor, the favourite daughter of the moon mother. She is also being named after her. Contrary to his brother, who was given a different name in this lifetime. She's so exceptional that even the Gods witch head down toward her. If Eleanor had wished, the whole wo
There was a general chaos. I did not know what happened, but someone seemed to drop a glass. The sound managed to provoke more nervousness and panic. "You are just a brat out of nowhere. Why would we trust you?" Sure, I knew they were going to attack me. The arrogance of these sorcerers did not allow them to see how simple it was for me to predict them. "Then, according to his logic, I need evidence that what I say is true …" They all nodded at the same time. They agreed and I was prepared for this. "Mother Luna had asked me not to say anything about our meeting, but it was necessary if we wanted to survive. Vampires were not going to get involved without the certainty that nobody from their own would be injured. They were surprisingly protective when they wanted. I should take care of my pack. I could not afford to lose anyone in this war. Fo
My knees stopped sustaining me without prior notice. I fell to the ground, feeling the pain seize every inch of my being. I cried bitterly to see the lifeless body of my mate, my twin soul, just a few steps away from me. I screamed until my throat burned, while the fire was still moving forward. On a rock, up, as if he wanted to see everything with his own eyes, I noticed that Allen Samuel smiled, proud of what he did. If only it had taken less time in the community. If I had only stayed in my home, The fire spread to us. The flames surrounded us and I couldn't care less. Somewhere in my mind, I perceived that Liam and Lily had not yet released me, who struggled to stand up and get safe. And I stayed there, on the ground. Observing the fire going in my direction. I am hoping to find myself with my mate in another life. In the few seconds I spent, I could not understand how Maggie was still al
