Reborn as a human Chapter 9
Rowena******I flew into the air at the first attack Gwen threw at me; my magic wasn't working. I could hear sounds of Jaden getting mercilessly beaten, and I hit the ground."Focus, Ro. Channel your emotions." I whispered to myself and kept whispering, but it was like pouring water on stone.Fruitless!Was I hallucinating the last time?I stretched my hands and imagined myself levitating, still channeling my rage and the thousand emotions I was feeling; it worked perfectly in my head, but I was still firmly rooted to the ground.Great! I got into a fight with wizards without checking if my powers worked."You would have made it a lot easier for the both of us if you had just let him go." "Now take a look at him," Gwen laughed as she slowly lifted me in the air. For the first time since our fight started, I caught a glimpse of Jaden.Sprawled on the floorHalf-dead maybewith blood coming out everywhere.Gwen's twin sister is definitely a lot more twisted."I thought

Chapter 10Writer's povBack at the covenRafael paced back and forth in his chambers, clutching his pocket dagger tightly, showing how irritated he was getting. Gwendoline and Georgia were supposed to be back with great news long before now, but they were both nowhere to be seen. Not even a sign of Prince Jaden, at least.Rafael was obviously running out of patience, and it was evident in his facial expression as beads of sweat ran freely from his forehead down to his slightly pointed nose."The Queen demands your presence immediately, sir Rafael."With a wave of his hand, Rafael dismissed the guard that had come to deliver the message to him. "Why does she want to see me?" he thought. "Gwen has probably messed things up again."He dabbed his face with a towel and made sure he looked as relaxed as possible. If by chance the Queen found out about his plan to kill the prince, he was ready to deny every bit of it.One more glance at the mirror and he was sure he was good to go, then he h

Chapter 11*Writer's pov*"Howdy, mate," Aaron's unpolished British accent jolted Jaden back to the present, and he turned to face him fully. The cup of coffee in his hand was steaming hot and still looked untouched. "What's bothering you, Jaden?""This is the most complicated case I've ever handled in a long time." "Why is everything taking so long?"Aaron kept staring at him, you know, with that "are you sure about that?" look."You know...." Aaron started and slowly sat at the edge of the desk. "You can lie to any other person in this entire world, including your uncle, but you can't lie to me." C'mon, man, tell me what's eating you up. I know it's something more than this case."Jaden stopped what he was fake-typing and relaxed in his chair, stroking his chin. He struggled with different thoughts about whether or not to tell Aaron about all his encounters, about Elle or the sons of Zed or the twin witches that attacked him, about his realistic dreams that had just been reoccurring

Chapter 12 Rowena's pov I stared at the note, totally unfazed, probably because I had Giselle by my side. "Who could have sent this?" She asked, ripping it to pieces. "Who else? Definitely the wizards," I replied and walked away. "Where do you think you're going to?" Giselle asked as I grabbed my coat from the top of the chair I was sitting on earlier. "To see that Jaden's okay," I replied without giving her a look, and she pulled me before I could get to the door. "You get a death threat, and the next thing on your mind is finding your little lovebird?" She yelled. "I'm not going to look for you this time," she added, tightening her grip around my arm. "You and I both know who they're after," I yelled back, wriggling myself from her grip and storming out the door. I got out of the house and took a taxi to my workplace; that's the easiest way to know where Jaden works, plus I haven't been there for days now, so I at least owe them an apology. Jaden's pov "Are you going to t

Chapter 13Jeremy's pov"Did you get my coffee?"I raised my head from my computer after a few seconds of not getting an answer from Aaron. I looked at him, and he had that annoying smirk on his face."Can you not joke around?" "I really need the coffee."He dropped the coffee on my desk and shrugged.Then he turned and left. Heaven knows what his problem is, but I'll take care of whatever it is later. I have work to do.Speaking of work, I've been staring at all the files in front of me for the past few minutes. These were evidence against Carrie's boyfriend. Everything was as clear as day, but something was still off."Hey Jeremy, you might want to see this."I got up lazily and walked up to where Xavier, someone I work with, sat in front of his laptop. There were photos from the crime scene that I hadn't actually taken time to study."Look, Jeremy, there's a wine glass at the table, and there's an empty bottle of Rittenhouse Rye." According to all her medical records, she's not an a

Chapter 14Writer's povAt the covenRafael paced back and forth in his chambers, with one hand in his pocket and the other caressing his pocket dagger.As usual.Now that he had the Queen on his side in his quest to kill the Prince, he could act freely and scheme whatever he wanted in the open."Now... I want you both to understand that the Queen has approved the death of Jaden. "So you're no longer working for just me but for the Queen, and with that, by her orders, I send you out at this moment to bring back the prince, dead or alive." He said it gleefully."Actually dead, preferably." "I don't want to know whether he has a guardian or not; all I care about is his life."He turned to face the twins fully after his statement. Rafael had already released them after his discussions with the Queen, although he didn't tell her that he had been plotting Jaden's death long ago, nor did he say why he locked the twins up "We're not promising anything, Rafael, but we'll try our very best."

Jaden's povI got to the office early the next day feeling so elated. It must be because of the time I spent with Giselle yesterday, even though I still don't understand why she suddenly wanted me to leave in the middle of the conversation.By the way, I had a good time, no matter how short it was."Young man, where have you been since yesterday?" I showed up at your place, but you were not there. "You went out without me, man, and I'm so emotional right now." We both laughed at his early morning foolishness, and I tried as much as possible not to continue the discussion so I wouldn't have to explain where I went and who I was with."That reminds me, how's your little miss coffee maker?""You haven't actually told me what I need to know about both of you because the other day, she ran all the way from her coffee shop just to ask me about you.""She was a little disappointed when I told her you didn't come out because you were avoiding some things."The file in my hand fell, and beads

Rowena's povWe were still watching the horror movie together when we heard a terrifying knock on the door.At first, we thought it was just background noise from the movie, and we decided to ignore it. But the knock grew louder.Giselle quickly paused it and quietly walked to the door. She peered through the hole while I watched keenly. She nodded and quickly opened the door, and immediately Jaden ran in."Shut it quick," he pointed, and Giselle obeyed. The puzzled looks on both of our faces made him realize he had to start talking."A glass of water, please," he said, staring at Giselle. He must be dreaming to think she would get it for him, so I walked to the kitchen and grabbed him a cold bottle of water.Giselle and I watched him while he emptied the contents of the bottle into his mouth and wiped his sweaty forehead with his thumb. Giselle was slowly losing her patience, and I had to help him by throwing sorry eyes at her.He heaved a sigh of relief to show his regain of strengt
