Chapter 29: Mysterious Woman
Nervousness and never-ending tenseness were the emotions that I felt talking to her. She was telling me secrets and more about her truth, but me, I told lies. Not all of it of course, but she would be devastated if I will reveal them.
We were heading back, took gentle strides, shoulder to shoulder, and enjoying the peacefulness of the memorial garden. The moon was visible in the night sky that gave sheepish light to the memorial, filtered by the trees. I was aghast with the beautiful structures that held coffins from prominent families of their Coven. Maria had shared stories of some of her coven mates and a little bit of their history but the information was shallow enough that needed no pondering.
But I had been meaning to hear from her about her bloodline. If she was one of the Cruz’s who held Larissa’s maternal blood then she is one of the most powerful witches in their Coven.
Every time she told me about her secrets, the more I knew about her. H

As I stepped inside the school campus’ front gate, my paranoia started to loom. Right after I swiped my ID card on a radio frequency detection system, the feeling kicked in. The system flashes your face on a screen conspicuous to the entrance guards to confirm the identity of the ingressed student. The Coven spies might have difficulty in entering the campus without being questioned, they did not have IDs like ours. Or maybe they were actual students waiting for further instructions by their Coven Magistrate.I felt unsafe, I informed my father thru text regarding the Coven spies. I also texted Edward for he might expose my connection with the Keepers. I told Edward not to talk to me for now and lay low. He assured me that other members of the Keepers on our school campus were also engaged with the possibility of identifying these Coven spies. Buy my father and Edward had asked me about the source of my information which I had difficulty in divulging. I could not
Forbidden Paramour Chapter 31: Witch Bait
My heart melted to see her face so depressed. I could not imagine how the Coven had handled her teenage life with so many restrictions, for the safety and continuity of Cruz bloodline. The freedom park was heaved with students who loitered waiting for their next subject, I could sense their stares piercing through my nape. A popular student talking to a loser in broad daylight was a feat with my status. But the concern was just transient, I refocused on Maria and whatever she may have carried, a burden unimaginable.“Hey, what’s wrong,” I greeted back, my voice was soft with a hint of concern.She continued to stride until our bodies were close enough to hear her whisper.“I think I am in trouble. I think another two students were following me. I don’t know, maybe they are from the Keepers,” she whispered.“Are they still following you?” I asked. I knew this would happen. Now, I know about Coven’s bloo
Forbidden Paramour Chapter 32: Front Lines
The feeling of uncertainty and thrill crept to my skin. It never ceased since this morning, the moment I stepped inside the school campus. My paranoia became real. I became vigilante instantly to my surroundings as I have confirmed with Edward.“Bait? Me? Why?” I asked. He told me early this morning that he was the only one who is bait. Now, he was telling me that I am also baiting. I was repositioned from a lookout to a bait, felt more of a front liner, an unprepared battle front liner, or a cannon fodder perhaps.“You have been made. The Coven knew your association with the Keepers,” Edward said. His statement was already anticipated. It’s only a matter of time, but I was not expecting this fast. If the spies knew then maybe Maria also knew. Maybe it was when Edward punched Alex’s face for my aide. She might have recognized Edward, the person that followed her, watching her every move.“Me? How?” I asked.
Forbidden Paramour Chapter 33: The Apprehension
The two figures’ faces appeared before us as they ceased walking until about five meters from our positions. The cold breeze blew a little harder and we all felt the chill. The breeze had no hindrances as it danced freely on the vast soccer field. The whooshing sound of the wind was the only audible sound momentarily until Edward spoke to them.“Witches,” he referred to the two teenagers before us, “surrender now and there will be no further bloodshed.”The male scoffed. He was tall but not taller than Edward and a little scrawny like me but his face had no hint of intimidation and fear. His deep sharp eyes told me everything about him. A killer.“What do you call yourselves? The Keepers? Keepers of what exactly? Of the truth?” The male witch mocked.“You do not have to worry about the answers, witch. All you need to worry about now is your life and the life of your comrade,” Edward mused with nonchala

I took deep breaths, somewhat forcing my lungs to function. I felt the oxygen supplied fuel to my body as I felt my strength regaining. I shook my head trying to wore off the dizziness. I was still on the ground and struggled to stand. My body was still hurting, I coughed hard as I stood with both feet on the ground.The female witch conjured a bluish flame that engulfed her right hand. It was burning like a blue torch. She hesitated as he recognized Kane, I saw it in her face. She forced it, she lunged towards Kane and swung her flaming hand wildly towards him but he evaded it efficiently. Three swings and the last attempt was caught by Kane with his bare hand, grasped her slender forearm and she struggled to remove it from his grip. But the witch was strong, she freed herself from him but Kane kicked her stomach right after she pulled her arm.The witched growled in pain, gnashed her insides. She emaciated on the ground kneeling, distracted her from Kane’
Forbidden Paramour Chapter 34: The Magistrate
Edward knelt near the unconscious bodies and checked their pulse. He buried his two fingers onto the sides of their necks and he confirmed that they were dead. The hallway had blood splattered all over. I saw Kane’s dagger had blood on it too. He was heavily gasping for air.“He got away,” Kane snorted. He was wounded too.“How? He was already wounded.” Edward said.“He had help. We were ambushed by other witches. The soldiers were compelled by witches and made them fight me. I had no choice but to kill them all,” Kane grunted.“There are others nearby, just keep your eyes open, Luke,” Edward commanded.“What about dad?” I asked.“You do not need to worry about your dad, Luke. He is one of the great hunters in our era,” Edward mused.We started to sprint out of the building, following the trails of blood from the male witch wounded by Edward&rs
Forbidden Paramour Chapter 36: Imminent Transfer
Slowly, she lifted the ice stake aiming at my heart. My both hands on her hand that choked my neck, tried to loosen her grasp. I felt my strength was fading as I struggled to introduce air into my body. She teased the tip of her stake to my chest, running in circles. I felt the pointy tip of the ice stake chilled my shirt wherever it touched and the thought of imminent death raced my heartbeat, hammering against my chest.“Should I kill you this time boy?” The woman taunted.With only one push of the stake would instantly kill me as it was aiming right in the middle of my sternum. I was instantly remorseful of what my eagerness had led me. I may have caused this incident. The Coven spies were maybe deployed because they had feared Maria might be compromised because of me. Because maybe of our secret meetings in the memorial.Suddenly, a figure appeared in my peripherals. It was coming fast as if it was flying or jumping. I was not sure, my vision blu
Forbidden Paramour Chapter 37: Boring Day
A month only left to end the semester. I am bound to embark on a new school for my third year in college. A feeling of lonesomeness had defined my mood every time I stepped in the school’s campus. It was just a month before that we had fought with the Coven spies and it was ugly. One witch had died in the hands of my father’s team and I am almost killed twice.I was almost indifferent with the people around me, my shyness never loomed since that day. I felt incredibly confident and without remorse. Sadly, the absence of Maria gave a vacuum in my heart, a space filled with nothingness. She had not replied to my text messages even in social media. I have heard she and her family had moved to another place, without even finishing the semester.I understood their condition, they felt unsafe anymore on this grounds even in this region. This place now was filled with Keeper’s spies, to continually look for the presence of Witches but also for
