The staircase was longer than they expected it to be. Rose's heart hammered against her chest as she anticipated meeting her mother. Then they finally got to the last one and Austin was the first to see her. She was chained by several shackles which had glistening lights around them. Rose swallowed down as she saw the state that her mother was. She was pretty and looked young but her hair had grown white and long. They poured down her body. As if she noticed them, her body jerked up immediately and she looked forward. Her eyes went wide as she saw her longtime lover. They all looked at the brewing tension between them. She forced herself forwards but the chains jerked her back. Austin moved his feet as he stretched his hands out towards her. His eyes were glistened with unshed tears."Opening the fvcking door," He yelled and before Rose could move forward, Melissa stopped her."We will have to do some things first," She explained."Then do it and stopped s

"Long time no see," Layla said and Nora rolled her eyes."The only time you ought to see me you were busy with your husband so tell me who ought to say that," she asked."And besides I am shocked that you are now the keeper of the coven, the Laura I knew was always running, no not running. Was always hiding and avoiding duties like plagues. Guess you had no option." Nora said."I would not have accepted the responsibility if you and your sister was sensible not to fall for the wolves and not to add giving birth to an abomination." She said with full spite.Nora smirked."What difference does your daughter serve too? I mean, your daughter is just like Simone." She said and no one could understand the war that these two was fighting. Laura broke the eye contact they were having and looked away."You should leave as soon as possible," Laura said and turned away."I never planned on staying in the bondage you call a coven," Nora said with a shrug

************Rose's POV************Murmurings. Some people were murmuring words to each other. My eyebrows furrowed at the fact that I was finding it hard to open my eyes. Why are my eyes closed?I squeezed my eyes shut and tried opening them. But it felt like they were forced to be closed. I tried moving my hands but it was tied down. I groaned out in pain. Whosoever must have tied my hands is crazy. It was too tight for my liking that I had to give up. I hissed out angrily and laid back.They must have noticed me because I heard boots clicking the floor as they walked towards me."You are awake finally," The masculine voice said. "Oops, your eyes is tied." The masculine voice said and remove the blind fold that was on my face. I squinted my eyes open. The place was quite dark and it lacked light but then crouching before me is a man I have never met."Who are you?" I asked and his lips pulled into a smirk."Who I am does

***********Leo's POV***********"Alpha, Alpha!!" The head of the pack patrols yelled at me with urgency through the mind link thereby interrupting the sleep Blake had forced me to have. I jerked up instantly and looked around for any threat."What?!" I groaned as I rubbed my eyes."We have found the Luna," The head of the pack patrols said and Leo looked up immediately. Jeff moved uncomfortably as he heard this."What did you say?" He asked again to be sure of what he asked."We have found the Luna but she is unconscious. We know you will be angry if you see us with her so it'll be better if you come to the southern part of the pack." He said and before he could finish. I already slipped out of the room and pack house. I ran in an inhumane speed as I sped through the thick bushes. I sniffed around as I drew near them. I then got to where they were. They stood surrounding her. Surrounding my lost mate. I growled so loud that they paved way

************Rose's POV************"So after putting such a bold and dramatic front before Leo, you are here sulking?" My mother asked me as she placed the cup of water before me. I grunted and sipped a little."Mom, you don't understand. Ever since I came back, I don't understand a thing at all. Where I was taken to? What they did to me? How I was handled? I know nothing at all. And now the pack is struck with some stupid disease or what should it be called?" I said with a look of sadness."Whosever might have taken you cleared your memory and I will love you to relax so that I make a portion and try to remember some spells to track the witch." She said and went into the room. Well, they now stay in the cave, not actually a cave, but it was built like one. And the environment is serene enough and it is quite conducive especially for them since they wanted to be away from other people."Rose," Leo's voice said in my head, making me jerk."Leo?" I
