Conrad had ordered me to not talk about that ritual again. I don't know why his lack of interest has peaked for this matter because I was hoping he would be even happier now that I was finally one step closer to free him from this painful curse.
Strangely, he didn't even take me anywhere with him for the entire day, I was never informed about his schedules too.I kept wondering what had happened, why did his mood changed so much when I refused to believe the information he was trying to fed me about the link thing.Why was he so adamant about the link not being able to affect the feelings we were sharing?Yes! I was aware of his feeling at this point, I would be lying if I'll say I was not. But the problem wasn't his feelings, the problem was that those feelings were only because we were linked now.I couldn't sit back in the room and do nothing. The moment I set foot outside the door, I forgot I had also another issue in my hand that I had initiated myself.Kruz!<“So you think I am the type who will not suffer?” he let out a sarcastic laugh and then shook his head, “Your innocence amazes me.” He continued to speak, taking a few steps closer to me. “Just because I am an Alpha and I am alive through the pain doesn’t mean I will not suffer Cordelia, losing you will be the worst pain ever, worse than this curse,” he spoke with a lot of emotions being showcased through his voice. “Conrad, we both know that spells are powerful---,” I hesitantly spoke, trying to escape him eyes but as his steps began to lead more and more my way, I found my skin getting goosebumps. I was unable to make another word out of my lips when he kept reaching me until my back was pressed hard against the door. He loosely placed his hand on the wall beside me and trapped me in his arms. I opened my mouth in a sudden shiver but nothing came out of it.“I am having a little trouble in my ear, hearing is a bit of a problem so can you speak in my ear, I want to h
I was not ready to die, not before I have saved Conrad from this curse. My eyes gave up and I began to go into a deep slumber when the pressure against my neck loosened only a bit so that I can breathe a little air.I instantly started coughing and pushing my body up to sit up on the ground. I was trying to untie the rope from around my neck but my body was still so numb that I could hardly make my hands to work fine.That's when I looked around and saw a half transitioned beastly wolf attacking my mother as she tried to hurt him with a knife. It wasn't hard for me to acknowledge that not only that knife was laced with woflbane but there was some spell casted on it to weaken him down.What mother didn't know was that it was hard for her to fight the Alpha King, he was nothing like others.Once she had understood that there was no winning from him, she stepped back and after passing me one vengeful glare, she sprinted away into disappearance."Ah!" I coughed and slowly
“Why are you here?” I could hear the panic in my own voice but I bet he didn’t care. All this time, he had only been giving false and empty threats but there was something about him that day that made me feel like he wasn’t just here to threaten me, he was finally here to act on his threats.“What are you doing?” I tried to raise my voice so that if anybody is passing by, they will hear me. What I forgot was that everybody here hated me, nobody was going to come for my rescue and Conrad had already left the mansion. “This is the only way, love!” he shook his face and pretended to be miserable. His smirk was giving me creeps down my spine, my throat wanting to throw up just at the thought of his touch. I was quickly coming up with ways to escape him and my mind decided that the only way was to run away, to run out of the room and save myself. I sprinted towards the door but since he was already in my way, the moment I decided to dodge him, he grasped my arm and pulled
I had been kept there without any visits for hours by now, what I assumed was maybe a nighttime when my brain started getting worried with many thoughts. The one troubling me the most was Conrad’s absence; why didn’t he pay me a visit? I would have loved to see him once. Did he not even want to see my face? Did he think questioning me would be a waste of time?My body was shuddering not because of the punishment I would receive, but because of Conrad! I wanted to see him once. Just when my hopes had started to drown, I heard some noises approaching the door. “Please your highness, your father has forbidden you from being near her. She is dangerous,” Kruz was constantly babbling after Conrad, I believed. My heart dropped in my chest when I saw Conrad walking in the dungeon and reaching my cell. Getting up on my seat, I ran towards the edge of the cell and held the bars in my hand, waiting for my Conrad.“No!” Kruz swiftly hindered his way by pulling his arm in front
After I have told Uziel that I can save his son, his entire demeanor towards me had changed. I knew that he truly cared and loved his son so he was ready to give me a chance to prove myself by helping his son and that’s why now I was called to him.He wanted to keep the same energy but I knew something inside him had sparked after hearing me.He had called me into Conrad's room to talk to me alone. Although Conrad was not ok with the idea but I convinced him that I will be fine as I sort of knew Uziel’s best interests were similar to mine, we both wanted the same thing and that was to make sure this curse is being lifted and Conrad lives a painless life."I heard clearly what you said back in there so I will not ask you to repeat yourself I will just ask you, how!" he sat in the bed while I stood in front of him."Your son and I had been doing some research, it was our idea to get me beg my ancestors to bestow me with magic. Last night I was finally able to get my powers
Some wishes are so hard to be fulfilled that we either lose our lives or our hopes while chasing after them.Some dreams are not less than a nightmare, yet we want to see them over and over again, trying to win over our fears just one time.By the time I open my eyes, it seemed as everything that happened last night was just a nightmare. I opened my eyes and found myself in his comfortable bed, he was nowhere in the sight.As I laid down in silence with my eyes staring at the ceiling, I recalled the what happened last night and how I failed the ritual.I said in the bed, hurting my face in my hands. It was such a shame that I got all those powers and yet I could not save Conrad.I could not even bring myself to get out of the bed and look for Conrad. How was I going to look in his eyes and tell him that I could not save him and if I could not do that ritual, there was no way any other witch could do it.As I recalled Uziel'w words, I realized that I don't think he
"Maybe somehow the witches found out that she was helping us and that enraged them which led her to run away?" Conrad was trying to give me some hope but I don't know, something felt weird."I don't know. It's just the timing is very strange," I mumbled and then tossed my face to the side to stare out of the window.The rest of the ride was quick and silent with Conrad holding my hand and I worrying about Clara.When we reached home, none of us had thought that we will be welcomed by such a shocking sight."Son! Come here," Uziel was all happy and excited to see Conrad, who secretly shared a glance of confusion with me and then walked over to his father.There was a lady sitting on the couch in front of Uziel while giving us her back."I found someone who can help you." as he announced, my stomach made a knot. Conrad, who was on his way to sit with his father, halted and stepped back from him."I already have someone who I can trust." Conrad replied to his fathe
We have all been gathered by Clara in the living room at night time where she wanted to discuss the ritual in detail. Now I understood that even if I was not related to the witch who had cursed Conrad, I would have still not been able to lift the curse because of how unprepared I was. She had put out different things this time, there was a crystal ball on the desk that I don’t remember being used in this ritual. “This is a new thing for you, I bought it for a purpose.” Clara watched me eyeing the crystal and it made her mention me, “There are a few steps that we need to take in order to completely free him from this ritual.” She stated and then started explaining it in detail, “In these three days, we will need to do it on the day of his wedding, right after he marks his mate.” As she announced, my heart flipped inside my chest and I tossed my face to Conrad, who looked very shocked as well. “Mate?” Conrad repeated and then shook his head, “I already have one.” He didn’t
