ログインThey hadn’t expected Angela’s reaction she gave them. She stared at Orion for a long moment before a small, disbelieving laugh escaped her lips. “I get it, okay?” She jerked her face forward, brows raised mockingly. “I’m the daughter of a Witch Queen. A descendant?” Taking a deep breath to maintain her patience, she gave a stiff nod. “And where is this Witch Queen? My so-called mother?” Her eyes narrowed sharply at Orion. He exchanged a glance with Gideon before sighing heavily. “She’s dead.” Angela shot to her feet so abruptly. Her lips pressed into a trembling thin line as she pointed a finger at him. “Dead?” she whispered in disbelief before her voice rose. “You have to be kidding me! I spent my whole life surviving misery, humiliation, curses, pain and suddenly I’m told I’m some powerful Witch Queen’s daughter? Ridiculous!” Her burning gaze snapped toward Gideon. Her husband. “Was this your plan too?” she spat. “Mark me, claim me as your mate, keep me trapped here, then fee
“Are you sure you want to know everything right now?” Gideon asked carefully, his voice unusually restrained as his eyes lingered on Angela. Ever since her heat period had begun, her health had weakened drastically, and everyone in the room knew one wrong revelation could shatter her fragile composure.But Angela nodded without hesitation. “Yes, I want the truth.”A heavy silence covered the room. The atmosphere inside Gideon’s home office felt suffocatingly tense. Only five people occupied the room. She, Orion, Gideon, Dash, and Lisa.Angela’s gaze flickered toward Lisa briefly. She still could not understand why the witch had been invited into such a personal discussion. Something about this entire situation felt bigger than she had imagined.Orion calmly lifted his teacup, taking a slow sip before setting it down. Unlike the others, he appeared composed. “Ask what you wish to know,” he finally asked. Angela inhaled deeply. At last, she would get answers to the nightmares destroyi
“Who is she?” Angela asked Gideon as her gaze remained fixed on the woman standing before her, sharp and cautious. There was something intense about her presence. “Her name is Lisa Siege,” Gideon answered smoothly. “The head witch of the Dusk claws pack. She’s here to help you.”Help her? Angela almost scoffed at the word.Her eyes drifted toward Orion, who stood a few steps away speaking quietly with Lisa. Every now and then, the witch glanced toward Angela with a strange certain expression, one Angela couldn’t decipher. It was not hostility but it was not warmth either. Finally, she turned back to her husband only to find him already watching her. That look again.Ever since last night, something between them had shifted. The memory of his voice calling her his mate still echoed through her mind like a dangerous whisper. The way He had cared for her, touched her gently, looked at her as though she was precious to him.
Angela jolted upright in bed, breathing hard. Her limbs felt numb, heavy, as her dazed eyes swept across the room before recognising Gideon’s room. The nightmare again. That same mysterious woman… but this time there was another woman beside her. And Damon too.‘What does it mean now?’Why everyone is after her powers? The powers she didn’t even know about. Rubbing her forehead, Angela glanced beside her only to find the bed empty. Last night’s events flashed through her mind, making her chest tighten. Strange things kept happening to her, visions, dreams, whispers and it was slowly becoming too much for her to bear.After freshening up, Angela quickly grabbed her phone, checking for messages from Draven. Nothing.Strange.Pushing the thought aside, she headed to Axel’s room and woke him before helping him get ready. But the moment she stepped downstairs, a voice stopped her.“Angela, have a quick breakfast and come to the field. Gideon wants you there.” Dash informed her from behind
Angela’s fingers curled around her throat as if she could physically stop the suffocating pressure crushing her lungs, yet the heat tormenting her skin was nothing compared to the chaos and terror ripping through her mind. What was that? Who was that woman with green eyes? And why she attacked Gideon? Gideon watched her carefully, his silver eyes narrowing as He studied every expression that touched her face and trembling body. “Angela,” He called lowly, stepping toward her. “Come here. The heat is affecting you.” The moment He reached for her, she stumbled back as though his touch itself terrified her. “No!” Her broken cry echoed through the room. Gideon froze. “Gideon, I saw her kill you!” Angela’s voice cracked violently as she gripped her head. “Are you even listening to me? There is…something wrong with me.” Panic consumed her whole body. Tears blurred her vision while fragments of horrifying memories clawed through her skull like living monsters. “These nightmares… t
“I will meet you. But first, I’ll tell…” Suddenly, the phone was violently snatched from her hand. Angela gasped and turned sharply. Gideon stood behind her. His silver eyes blazed with fury as He pressed the phone against his ear. “If you don’t love your life, then come here, boy.”And the call disconnected. Gideon tossed the phone carelessly onto the table. Angela stared at him in disbelief before anger exploded inside her. “Gideon.” She stood up immediately, glaring at him openly, avoiding his naked torso. “What was that?” she snapped. “Am I not even allowed to talk to someone freely now?”Gideon’s jaw clenched sharply. “And here you wanted to question me about Daniela?” His cold tone instantly shut her up. Angela crossed her arms tightly over her chest. “I was only talking to him.” “And I was only standing beside Daniela.” His reply came like a blade. Angela glared harder. “That’s different.” “Explain how.” He raised his brows. “You kissed her!” “She kissed me.”
