The witch

Lucas' point of view:

The next day, a folder shows up above my desk. No one except for my Logan would’ve left it there.

He probably did not get over our fight last night, but I'm sure he will at the end. After all, we’re brothers, and it’s not our first fight, not even my first trying to be an alpha to him more than a brother.

I took a glass of coffee, turned off my phone, and took my seat to start reading the file between my hands. It wasn’t common for me to do such a thing, but the whole subject is a serious matter to me.

After finishing the first reading, my heart was aching from pain, it was all over my body. Although it was all clear, my heart refused to believe a single word for anything the folder says. Something was not right.

It says that her name is Stephanie Green, the mate of Earl Davis - Future alpha of the "Blood Moon Pack". They were friends and turned out to be mates at the age of 16. My fist was curled while reading about how it was said that they were Mr. and Mrs. Perfect for each other.

For some unknown reason, they left the pack to live with humans. Interesting!!! The file also has some information about their relatives, friends, and contacts.

I breathed in and out while moving my hand through my hair as I took the folder again to have a second reading.

The first reading left some doubts about the fact of a future alpha leaving his own pack. It simply doesn't make sense. I know I’ve done the same thing, but I had a reason to do so. Everything around my life was about the curse, and I was trying to avoid meeting my mate by avoiding being part of the werewolves’ world.

The second reading time was more helpful as it opened my eyes to the fact that this so-called Earl is secretly in touch with a witch, and this witch is no more than the famous Keyla herself. Now everything starts making sense. No way that my mate would have had another mate but me. Keyla must’ve been playing some of her dirty games around.

You may wonder who this Keyla is?!!

Well, let's say she's the daughter of the witch who cursed me and my mate at the beginning. The one was with my mate when she died the first time, the one that her mother turned out to be a witch living among humans.

Unlike nowadays, it wasn’t common for witches to be roaming around even among supernatural creatures. The reason why witches used to disfigure themselves as human beings. Not like today, they’re more open about who they are. They’re even started lately to have their own coven.

Back to Keyla, she was resurrected about 200 years ago in some way that I don't know about - witches’ things. All I know is that she's back to life only to get revenge from me because of killing both of her and her mother.

The last thing I knew about her was the fact that she's living in a small country town of Harrisville Rhode Island, exactly next to the Bathsheba Sherman house.

You may think it's a coincidence, but let me tell you it's not.

The famous house of Bathsheba Sherman is actually hunted by the spirit of Bathsheba herself. She was accused of practicing witchcraft, including the murder of a neighbor's infant who was in her care. Her spirit is still locked in the house as a great source of many dark magical powers, and that's exactly why Keyla loves that location so much.

For a sane person, she's a creepy wicked witch with numerous terrifying experiences related to dark magic and the spiritual world, she's also a voodoo queen among her circle. Although most of you think that Aleister Crowley is the most wicked witch ever.

Well, he can't even call himself a beginner next to her.

What still missing is the current relationship between the two of them. From what I know, Keyla is not the type of person you would engage with without having something to give in exchange.

After spending a while thinking about the whole thing, it all makes sense. She's up to something that includes the help of that pitiful Alpha to get revenge on me using my mate. I wouldn't expect less than such a thing from her.

A wave of extreme anger rush through my veins, it seems that these two scams are scheming against me, they're also trying to use my mate to hurt me.

Although I was on the verge of losing it, I knew better than to deal with this miss that way. I sat down waving my hand through my hair thinking of a way to get Stephanie out of this miss without being in touch with her and not staying too far from her.

As I was thinking, a small idea jumps into my brain.

Through my long life experience, I've learned that an open enemy is way too easy to deal with while faking interest on.

So instead of attacking right away, why can't I enjoy playing some tricks over that so-called Earl before I give a look to my dear Keyla.

While I was busy thinking, a creepy smile crept into my face without realizing it. I quickly turned on my phone and delayed Rebekah's number.
