STEFAN’S POV

I couldn’t believe my ears. Jana is gone? I killed her with my own hands. I fell to my knees with an indescribable pain in my hear.

“No!” I shouted as my fangs came out and I growled out loud in pain of my lost loved one. A few days later, I was still devastated as expected. I didn’t go out, neither did I eat. The reality of losing Jana was causing me a lot of pain that no pain reliever could relieve me of. I heard a knock on my door and knew it was my beta. He had been coming consecutively to check up on me and that was getting on my nerves.

“What do you have to say this time?” I asked, without looking at him.

“Alpha, you have not eaten for the past three days and it would affect you if you continue this way. Please eat something. I know that if there was a way you can bring her back, you would have done so.” He said, looking concerned.

As he finished his sentence, my brain jolted and I remembered the witches whom we do not relate with. They would be able to bring back my Jana to life. Although, it was against the law, but at this point, I would do anything and all it takes to bring Jana back.

I quickly left my room and headed towards the witches’ kingdom, which was a bit far from ours. But my determination was the driver, so I didn’t feel tired while journeying to their kingdom as I carried Jana. Although, it wasn’t easy and that was the reason I took rest at interval.

A few hours later, I got to their borders, I could sense the power that was in their kingdom. The witches were dangerous and unpredictable, but I would do anything at any cost to bring back Jana or I wouldn’t be myself. It has to be Jana or nobody.

Fortunately, I got to their palace before night fall and I was fortunate because I heard that powerful monsters roamed around their border because they were attracted to the power that was sensed from there, but the only thing keeping them out was a magical substance that protected their kingdom from such monsters.

“Who are you?” The Queen asked, with her right eyebrow raised.

“I am Stefan of both the Red Moon Pack and Venture vampire Clan. I am the Lycan and Vampire King.” I introduced myself without coming off as proud.

“Hmmm. You are the king, so I assume that you know very well that you being here, is defying the laws of the supernatural realm in your kingdom.” She said as she sat up.

Her gaze was fixed on Jana who I had laid on the floor.

“Who is she? And why have you brought her body?” She asked, out of curiosity.

“She is my Luna and she died a few days ago, but I want you to help me bring her back to life.” I asked, with pleading eyes.

“It is not possible for us to bring her back to life, Alpha Stefan.” She said, with her gaze now back on me.

I felt ripped in my heart. They were my only hope, but they couldn’t do it? That has to be a lie, probably they didn’t want to help me.

“Please help me. I believe you can bring her back to life. Please, I beg of you.” I pleaded earnestly, hoping that she would change her mind.

“We can’t bring her back to life, but we can cast a spell that would re-incarnate her.” She said, tapping her finger on the arm of the throne she sat on.

The joy that sprang up in my heart couldn’t be fathomed. I was happy that there was finally a way to bring back my Jana.

“Yes please. I do not mind, as far as Jana is back to life.” I said, hastily.

Although, there was a high chance that Jana would live, but the re-incarnation process was a long one. It could take years, even decades before it is completed. 

Then the witch queen snapped her finger and three witches came into the palace and looked at me out of curiosity.

“Queen, you called for us.” One of them said as she bowed her head to her a little. 

“He wants his Luna to be re-incarnated.” 

The witches looked at me with out of confusion. It seemed as if they didn’t want to do what I wanted, but their queen gave them a nod to go on.

Then they used their powers to make Jana’s body float in the air.

“Follow us.” The second witch said as Jana’s body followed them as she floated in the air.

I followed them to their coven, which was dark, but lit up a bit. There was a big circle in the middle that looked like a globe.

“Think about her as we cast the re-incarnation spell on her.” The third witch said as she joined the other witches to cast the spell.

A few minutes later, Jana dissipated and they stopped.

“She will now come in any other form, but we do not know who she came back as.” The first witch informed, without an expression on her face.

I understood what she meant, and I hoped that I would find Jana anytime soon. I was given a room to stay the night and when it was morning, I journeyed back to my kingdom.

“Alpha, the council of elders asked to see you.” My beta informed me, with his eyes lowered.

I went to the council of elders and they all didn’t look pleased. They were furious and I wondered why they all looked that way.

“We learned that you have gone against the law of the supernatural realm. You asked for help to bring back Jana to life, how could you do that?” Elder Neon lashed out at me.

“You are the Alpha King and you know of those rules very well. You also know that we can not forgive that act.” Elder Gray said, looking stern.

“We got a message from the witches, asking if it wasn’t a trap or foul play and that was how we knew of what you did. Tomorrow, we shall gather everyone and state out the judgement we shall give you in this case. Until then, you have no right as an Alpha.” Elder Nala proclaimed in anger.

I knew it was going to be a critical situation, but I was happy that Jana was going to re-incarnate. The next day, everyone had gathered, including the vampires. It was time for them to make their decision.

“Without much thoughts regarding this issue, Alpha Stefan, you have disobeyed the laws of this kingdom and as a King, it wasn’t expected from you. You are thereby banished from our kingdom and even the vampires’ kingdom.” Elder Neon pronounced, heavily.

I was shocked that I was banished. Why would that thought cross their mind and how am I supposed to find Jana?
