LOGINXander’s P.O.V. (Continued)She didn’t look surprised as she just stared at the center of the table blankly.“You already know,” Brian mumbled, and Roma took a deep breath.“No, I didn’t.” She shook her head while answering.“Not until two days ago.”I furrowed my brows, waiting for her to explain.“The day Xyla unleashed the ancient powers buried inside her soul, she forced the whole pack to unleash the same.” She started explaining and took a deep breath after finishing the first statement.“But it wasn’t limited to the living creatures. It also shook the core of the pack, making it channel its powers to every pack member related to this pack by blood and birth.”I pursed my lips into a thin line while listening to him.“For a few seconds, I noticed an anomaly in the pack’s energy. I guess I don’t need to explain what kind of anomaly, right?”We all nodded in agreement, and she smiled bitterly.“For years, I believed that I had kept this pack safe from any witch invasion, but I was
Xander’s P.O.V. (Continued)For several seconds, none of us spoke.My mind was numb, but the question was replaying at the back of my mind over and over.I sighed and looked around absentmindedly, trying to figure out what I should do next.Dalton and Henrick exchanged a few glances that caught my attention.“If you guys have something in mind, you can speak,” I said to them calmly.Brian also looked at them questioningly.Henrick took a shaky breath before looking at us.“What…… what if they also have a hiding place just like others?” I smiled, looking at him with a small smile.“Our home is in the middle of nowhere, to be precise. Even when this witch was near, she never found us.”“Wh… what if there is a place like that here, too?” His question wasn’t unreasonable.Because I also had the same question in my mind.But I had inspected the whole pack ground dozens of times in the past few weeks, so I now knew every inch of this place.There were a few places that came to mind, but I h
Xander’s P.O.V.“These scriptures indicated only one direction, Xander. The witch must be in this pack. I have already checked both the royal pack and our pack. I didn’t find any trace of another witch.” Brian was exasperated as he ran his fingers through his hair frequently.“What about this pack?” I asked him, and he took a deep breath.“There are more than five witches in this pack right now, including Roma and Mona. Apart from those five, I didn’t find any other trace, but if we go according to this scripture, the witch must be near the goddess’ descendant, meaning Xyla,” he answered grimly.I couldn’t deny this fact, but I still wanted to reassure myself that we were looking at the right place.“But this is what's bothering me the most.” He added, and I furrowed my brows.“Valerie taught us well, and the first thing that she taught was how to find another witch – no matter what they practice – around us. That’s the reason we trace all the dark witches easily, but ….” He paused an
“Vera,” I called her softly. She had lost her sanity in a fit of rage.It was understandable, but it was now costing us.My strength was fading, and I didn’t know how long I would be able to stand up.I sighed when she refused to listen to me and continued yelling at Lucian.Whenever Lucian tried to stand up, Vera increased the intensity of the pain tenfold.“Xander,” I called Xander when I started losing consciousness.“I got this, love. Rest for now. We have another fight coming our way.” Xander comforted me, but I felt annoyed by his wording.I watched Ruben jump in front of us and hold Vera’s hand.“That’s enough, Vera,” he said to her sternly.His face was expressionless, but his eyes betrayed him.He was in pain.“I want him dead, too, but not at the cost of Xyla and you,” Ruben continued in a stiff voice.It was clear that he wasn’t comfortable with talking to Vera like this.They had never shared an affectionate bond before.But watching Vera like this was breaking his heart,
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)Those candles hanging over my body everywhere.Their heat….The melting wax dripping down….Every drop burning my skin….Those leeches crawling all over my body…Their tentacles sucking my blood.The coldness of the ice slabs under me numbing the back of my body.Everything brought the same pain that I endured before dying.My whole body convulsed, but it was only me.Vera suppressed it for our shared body.But then I heard Lucian screaming.I froze and opened my eyes again.“What is burning me? What did you do to me?” My heart skipped a beat.Vera had connected my memories with him.I couldn’t believe it, but Lucian was now experiencing my pain without going through the procedure.“You….. you could do this?” I asked Vera while breathing heavily.“Yes, sis. I can do more than this, and I promise you th…. that I am going to make everyone responsible for your and Angel’s death in the last life experience your pain and despair before dying in this timeline.” Ver
Xyla’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Stop her, Xyla. Your blood must not enter his body.” Xander almost yelled at me.Vera also stopped, but her breathing was ragging.I felt Fenrir restricted her movements.“Don’t forget that your blood possesses some other powers, too.” Xander reminded me.“Tell him to let me go, sis.” Vera demanded, slowly closing the distance between us and Lucian.“My blood can’t be on him, Vera. He ….. a witch needs its victim’s blood if it needs to cast a spell.” I reminded her calmly.She growled aloud and then started laughing manically.“Right… right.” She muttered while laughing.Then snapped her head towards Carl. He was now under her command and was shooting daggers at her through his eyes.“What? Feeling pity for your elder son?” she taunted him and then swayed her hand with all her strength.“Aaaahhhh.” Lucian screamed at the top of his lungs when her claw slashed his face.“Vera.” Carl yelled in panic, terror evident on his face.“What a love, Carl? You truly am
