Garfield arrived within a short while with the rogues and he was surprised when he saw a man standing by the cave's door."What's going on here?" He asked, also as a means to announce his presence. Marcus quickly adjusted his gaze on him and shot him a terrifying glare. "What's that supposed to mean, young man? Why are you staring at me in that manner?" Marcus ignored his question and hissed as he reached for Elena's hands. But before he could go any further, Garfield, alongside the other men, gripped his neck region and began to unleash their fists on his face.Blow upon blow, they taught him the lesson of his life, and as soon as they finally left him, he staggered to his feet and took off almost immediately.Afterwards, Garfield marched towards Elena with cold eyes, upset that she could allow such a person to get an inch close to the cave, talk more of discussing with her."What was he saying to you?" Garfield asked, his voice etched with anger. "Who the hell is that man and why d

ELENA MUST BE KILLED!"In that case, you have to be fortified before you leave." Heila advised. "You should be fully equipped as a witch to go on this fight because there are some werewolves and rogues there who are willing to rip you apart if you come any closer to them."Fear gripped Nina at the coven leader's revelation. She mentioned that werewolves and rogues were there with Elena, but she never knew about that.She had earlier thought that Elena and Garfield were all alone with each other and having fun with themselves in the confines of a cave since they were running away from Alpha Gordon's threat concerning their mating.She stared at Heila, worry written all over her face. "What do you suggest I do now?" She quizzed."You don't have to bother yourself about anything, that's why I announced earlier that you need to be fortified as a witch, so that even when you go there to confront them all, and even when your wolf fails you, your witch fortification is never going to fail yo

COLLIDEDElijah froze instantly and cussed at Marcus as he left the palace. He had initially thought that he had brought him out of the manor to set him free and order him out of the palace, but he was disappointed when none of that happened.In no time, after Marcus had fully departed from their sight, the guards ran a chain around Elijah's arms and pushed him into the dungeon meant for slaves.He couldn't believe his eyes the moment he was thrown into the dungeon, and soon, he began to sob quietly and blame the Moon goddess for ever sending Marcus his way as his friend.This wouldn't have been happening to him if they weren't friends, and if Elijah hadn't let Marcus know a lot of things about him. Now, he was using their relationship as an advantage to milk out every vital information from Elijah and then turn out against him at the end of the day. ***Marcus set out at once to nowhere in particular; he was only trying to walk a little distance and find out if he would likely be lu

THE ENCOUNTER"I see no reason why you sit there and keep smiling to yourself, don't you see that we have a threat here?" The men yelled at Garfield in anger as he kept quiet for a while.He faced them and meeting their gaze, he burst out into more laughter, provoking the men further. They boiled with aggressive anger within themselves, looking at Garfield suddenly acting like it was none of his business, at the same time, they kept a close eye on Lina.Garfield finally turned to face them, now getting up. "The lady standing before you is Lina and she is Elena's best friend. I see no reason why you eat yourselves up for nothing.""Oh, you should have told us that before now." Levi mustered and turned back to Lina. "You are Elena's friend right? Or is he mistaken?""No, no.. of course not. He's not mistaken, I'm Elena's friend and I'm here to share some information with her.""Alright, in that case, I'll get her for you at once." Levi retorted, running off to the room where Elena had b

WHAT HAS ELENA DONE?"Not at all Garfield, that's not the truth, I promise. She never told me anything about you." Elena mustered in her defense and that of her friend, Lina.But Garfield was not going to buy her lies. He knew right from when she stepped back into the cave after being with Lina for a while, that something was amiss, and Lina was definitely the cause of it.To think that he had been the person who granted Lina easy access to see Elena earlier and now she took it as an opportunity to hold dirty discussions against him? That could never be!With the way he peered at her, Elena suspected that he had been eavesdropping on them all this while and now, he's bent on finding out everything that has been going on between her and Lina outside the cave.According to him, there must definitely be something Lina was trying to hide away from him and the rogues, which warranted her to drag Elena out of the cave and probably poison her mind about him."What then were you discussing wi
