MIAWhat the hell had just happened? One minute we were walking into the Elder forest together, and Leo was telling me that no matter what, we should not get separated, and now, I was standing all by myself. How the hell did that happen?Where were Bastien and Leo? “Bastien! Leo!” I called out but all I got back was the echo of my voice, nothing more.This was beginning to become scary, the whole idea was to go with Leo who knew his way around the forest, he was able to go in with Rylee and Olivia and even after getting separated from them, he was able to escape unscathed.I, on the other hand, knew nothing about this place, how I was supposed to find my way, and talked less about finding Rylee. This was bad, this was a terrible situation.How was I going to see myself out of this one? I needed to think, Lynn always told me that I was too impulsive and that was why I always got myself into trouble and made the wrong decisions.I won’t do that this time around. I would calm down and co

JAVIERI woke up with a splitting headache that made my head feel as if it was going to explode. I was not used to this, we wolves healed very quickly from all physical ailments.The fact that I had such a serious migraine was proof that whatever it was that was done to me was very serious.My eyes blinked open and I took in my environment, I was in a very different place from where I was last.The last thing I remembered was being at home with Ivan, waiting for Mia to wake when a strange man came to the door and told us he was a friend of Sarcana – Mia’s mother.I sighed in regret, why did we fall for his cheap trick and open the door for him, letting him in was our biggest mistake because he sprayed something in the air and the last thing I remembered was trying to attack him before passing out.I had no idea how much time had passed if it was even still the same day. What about Ivan and Mia, where were they? Where was I?I sat up without making a noise and adjusted my sight to see

MIAThe sound of the inhuman voice I heard sent a chill running down my spine, what the hell was that? I wondered."Oh no!" my mom exclaimed, "He has found us Mia, we have to run now.""Mom, you are confusing me, who has found us?" I queried.She grabbed hold of me, there was a wild fearful look in her eyes, "I have always dreaded this day darling, the day that he would come looking for you.""Mom, you are beginning to scare me. Just tell me what the hell is going on, what is that voice?""I had always known that you would be meant to do great things. Ever since I was pregnant with you, I could feel it but the problem was, many dark entities could feel it too. He is one of those dark entities that want our powers - yours and mine all for himself.""Who exactly is he, Mom?" I asked her. The way she was trembling with fear was starting to get me scared more and more.I hoped deep down that whoever it was she was talking about was not the same person who drugged Javier and Ivan and asked

LEOI had experienced this before but not to this extent, now it was far worse than I could ever imagine. The first time I came here with Rylee and Olivia, she used her magic to shield us from the adverse effects, and all I heard were tiny whispers that I couldn’t make out and shapes that held no meaning.When the three of us got separated, I was able to get out of the forest before the spell that Rylee cast on me broke. That was how I was able to get away the first time and go to find Mia and Bastien. This time around, I did not have Rylee’s magic to count on.“Shut up!” I yelled, “We both know that that is not what happened.”“Hahahahaha, did you and Harold not go on a power trip only to end up killing the woman you claimed you love? Making your son motherless?”“That was not supposed to happen, her dying was never part of the plan,” I confessed bitterly.“But fucking her behind your brother’s back and having a child… that was part of the plan?”The mist was showing me a picture of

MIAWe kept running and plowing through the obstacles that were coming at us out of nowhere, a spiky vine snaked out of nowhere and wrapped itself around my mother and dragged her away from me.“Mom,” I yelled and tried to go after her when a pointy branch came flying in my direction from behind and stabbed me in the back.The impact drove me to the ground and I gritted my teeth in pain, it was my mom’s turn to yell.“Mia,” she ripped the spiky vine apart with her bare hands and rushed towards me, her palms were bleeding but she didn’t care about that. Her focus was on me.Without wasting any time, she dragged the branch out from my back causing me to feel a fresh round of pain.“Get up,” she said and reached out her hand for mine, I took her hand and she dragged me upright, “how’s your wound?” she asked, her face twisted in worry and panic.“It’s okay,” I said reassuring her, “it’s already starting to heal.”“Good we need to keep moving,” she said and without waiting for me to respon
