“I am sorry Dad, I won’t,” I whispered as I lowered my head.I couldn’t do that, I couldn’t absorb the dark magic more than my soul could handle, this was a suicide. This was what I was afraid of from the start.This was what happened when I lost control back then and was going to attack the werewolf warrior. My body felt like a shell, like a hollow puppet, I couldn’t let that feeling overtake me again.“If I could, I would have. But look at them, do you think their wolves could handle the dark magic, the best thing that could happen to them if you didn’t help now, would be their death because you can’t even imagine what might happen to them. Their wolves will lose all their humanity and will become the slaves of the black magic, and curing them would be next to impossible. They would know no loyalty and no faith, they would turn against each other, hungry for the next high. You can’t let that happen. Grace trusted you and made you her Beta. You have to protect them, out of your respo

Then the scene shifted again and now I was in the dark abyss, all alone. The darkness was haunting and devoid of any emotion I used to feel in the outside world.I could hear a faint voice of crying and sniffles, the voice was echoing in my ears, but there was no one, no single soul was there in the darkness.“I know you are here, show yourself,” I said in a determined voice.I knew it was a gamble, but I needed to take that risk. The voice stopped for a moment, but then I heard the wails of screaming in agony, they were heart-wrenching, and my knees wanted to give out but I couldn’t do this right now. I needed to be strong,Strong for everyone.“Show yourself,” I ordered.And then I saw her sitting in the corner, hiding her face and crying. She was the same girl, whose soul I saved.Her figure flickered in the dark, I took tentative steps toward her. Slowly I sat by her side trying to understand her pain. I took her hand in mine, but something happened at that moment.Her hands turne

“I think you should come with me,” Grace said to me after a moment.“What?” I asked with a frown.“You need to rest Daisy and it would be best if you would come with me and rest at the pack house instead of this makeshift camp,” she explained, concern etched on her face.“I can’t leave them behind. Without my power, they won’t be able to handle the souls. We were lucky that we only encountered the soul of a little girl who was easy to manipulate. What if we encountered a soul who would be so corrupted that nobody might be able to handle it? I can’t take that risk nor can you afford it.” I said.My voice was filled with determination. I knew that Grace was worried about my health and this going back home talk was coming from her heart, not from her mind.“I understand your concern, Daisy and I know whatever you are saying is indeed correct but what good could you do if you are not in your best health? You will only be a liability here not a strength. Just think about this,” Grace said.

“You don’t have to leave right now,” Mason mumbled as I ate my food and prepared to leave.“That’s the problem I have to," I replied nonchalantly.“Are you going to miss me?” he asked me, his gazes focused on mine.“I don’t know, are you?” I smirked at him and my mood soured as the same Omega entered the dining hall and served him food with a shy smile.“Last night you were way too brutal with me, I couldn’t sleep at all. My whole body is sore and aching.” I said sweetly and fluttered my eyelashes at him and he choked up on his food.“Wha..what?” he sputtered.“Don’t act like you don’t know anything,” my voice was soft and then I turned toward the omega whose face was flushed and she was looking like she was moments away from combusting from embarr*ssment.“He was a beast last night in bed,” I uttered softly.The Omega’s whole face turned red and there was something else on her face, maybe hurt. My heart clenched uncomfortable thinking about it, but I couldn’t erase the image of her s

“Yes, she was my mate. Why are you so surprised?” Dad asked with a chuckle, his face again had his glow, his red eyes gleamed like ruby and the moonlight was making him look like an ethereal being.“But you both were two different species. How can a witch find a mate in a demon? This is ridiculous.” I frowned at him, thinking that he was just playing with me.“Ahh, your logic. Yes, it’s true that one finds his or her mate in his or her species, but sometimes in one in a million, one can find the mate in a different world too. It’s nothing but a miracle.” he explained.“Duh, you are playing with me, right? You think it’s a joke.” I huffed in frustration.“No, I am not joking or trying to play you. It’s the truth. Your mate is nothing but a part of your soul. And the part of your soul can be born anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to be the same species.” he said as he patted my head, lovingly.“So, that…means that I can also have a mate outside the witch or demon community,” I whis
