تسجيل الدخولLila's POV Marcus stepped forward, rolling up.his sleeves. The shaman brought our a pocket knife, cutting him horizontally on the palm and letting the blood drop in the circle.“This should be enough.” He said after a few more drops.“Are you sure about that?” Marcus inquired, sticking his hand out, willing to donate more of his blood to save me.“Ofc course, Sir Marcus. All e needed was six drops of blood per the moon goddess's instructions.Marcus nodded and took two steps backwards untill he stood by Daniel's side. The blood which he had donated into the palm of the shaman was then poor out into the circle.I watched in silence as the blood hit the ground. A drop after the other. About five drops hit the floor, splattering. The shaman walked back and took a seat where he had originally sat at the beginning of this.I was expecting an instant reaction immediately when the blood hit the floor but at first nothing happened. I told my head around on both sides hoping to catch a glimp
Lila's POV The shaman looked like he was in trance.“We need the blood of one of your lovers. The moon goddess requires his blood to break the curse. Your lover being bonded to you, helps like a catalyst.”My breath hitched for a moment and I thought I'd die from suffocation. For a moment, I thought I didn’t hear him properly.“My… lover’s blood?” I repeated slowly, my voice almost a whisper. “What is that supposed to mean? I do not have a lover. What games are the moon goddess playing?”The shaman did not move. His eyes were still shut, His body so still. He looked like he was physically present but was somewhere else. Somewhere far away.“Yes,” he said again after what felt like a minute or two. His voice was deeper now, almost like he was being influenced by a spirit that wasn't his.. “The bond you share makes the ritual stronger. Without it, the process may fail. We need your lover to contribute a few droplets of his blood. That way reduces the chances of you dying in the process
Lila's POV “You all are right on time.” The shaman said, a White chalk on his hand while drawing a huge circle on the grown.“You all are right on time,” the shaman said, white chalk in his hand while drawing a huge circle on the ground.Both alphas, stood on both sides towering beside me and make you me look like I was a little girl.“2 minutes before it's strikes midnight. We made It here on time indeed.” Marcus said before sparing me the tiniest glance.“It's actually refreshing to see that you kept to tinet, veciirs very crucial and necessary for the ritual to begin at. 12:00 sharp “ He reached a full circle, and proceeded to draw a pentagon in side the circle. He stuffed his hand into his bag and brought out a handful of Ash and sprinkle the everywhere.I stepped forward slowly, my eyes fixed on the markings he was making. Now he was beginning to make tiny markings that looked like ancient languages we couldn't understand. I knew that though markings were not ordinary and so
Lila's POV I lay on the bed, my chin rested on my palms for support as I stared at the clock. Lunch and dinner time had passed and it was ten minutes away from striking midnight. Anxiety filled my lungs. Fear etched on my bones. The thought of not being able to get rid of the curse of losing my life in the process scared me.11:41 PM. Nine more minutes. I knew I had to get dressed, instruct Rowan to fetch the twin alphas while Claire stayed back in the palace.I exhaled slowly and sat up.I had never felt so alone like imfekt right now. My room was eerily quiet as I pondered on how this would play out. The guards outside my door were so quiet than they usually were on Normal nights. This night was not normal and I had a feeling something might go wrong.I stood up from the bed and walked slowly toward the mirror. My reflection looked back at me. I straightened my slouched shoulders, my tired eyes starimg back at me. My jaw was tensed. Every detail in my face felt foreign almost like
Lila's POV I pushed the door open at once. “Here's a room. You both will be staying her for the meantime. When the time for the ritual arrives, I'll send Rowan to get you.”Daniel lips twitched at the sound of Rowan's name.“You trust him too much don't you?”“It's none of your business, Daniel and just because I let you stay in my palace, dosen't automatically give you the right to question me.” I motioned at the room. Marcus stepped in, his eyes taking in the decent room.“We'll manage. It's not like we have other choice.”I folded my arms across my chest, leaning slightly against the door.“Good for you. You have to improvise…” I said. “Because this is all you’re getting. this is the best room I have in the palace and you should be grateful that I'm willing to let you dwell in it till midnight.”Daniel let out a low chuckle, but there was no humor in it.“We do appreciate the kindness you have shown us and we are grateful.”he uttered but I couldn't decide if he was being genuine
Lila's POV I wasn't expecting a shaman to walk in, with his gaze fixed on him, his confidence unmatched. He looked like he was in his mid sixties or early seventies, his slouched back an evidence of his old agebut he walked with so much agility like he was in his mid thirties. The air around him felt different the moment he entered the hall.Behind me, Marcus and Daniel nodded in approval and this made my stomach tighten because I knew they called him but this was so annoying because they were underestimating my control and power over my territory.“What in the name of the nine heavens is he doing here?”I turned around facing the twin alphas to stop. “So this is him. The shaman you both talked about.” I muttered under my breath, my eyes narrowing.Now, the guards were more petrified than they were earlier seeing how I was slowly losing my anger. Rowan was tense beside me, his hand hovering near his weapon. He knew he had lost my trust in him the moment he went behind my back and l
Marcus' POV I noticed strange patterns I wasn't sure about. Lately, Lila had grown so comfortable around Daniel or maybe I was assuming things. Today I have to attend some business dealings with Daniel at the office. “Daniel and I won't be around for most hours of this day. We have this very imp
Lila's POV “You are pregnant, ma'am? That's so much great news!”. Claire squeaked behind me as she massaged my shoulders.I didn't know how to respond. I didn't know how to feel able to be pregnant with their child. I didn't know how to respond knowing Daniel and Marcus were my child's father.Why
Daniel's POV A million and one emotions wrecked my mind at once. Lila is already pregnant?So quickly?Barely three weeks and she's already carrying a child?My head spun quickly as the doctor's words echoed again and again in my head. I just stood there, staring at Leah like I have just seen her
Daniel's POV “What do you mean she fainted? What happened to her when you both were together?”. I wasn't asking to understand, I felt petrified.Did Marcus do anything that triggered her mark?Marcus looked at me with a shocked expression, clearly stuned at how many times he had to prove his inno
