The next day, Clarice woke up early because she knew that Grandpa would also wake up early in the morning.She found him outside the house, tending to the goats. "Good morning, Grandpa," she greeted him with a bright smile."Morning, dear," he replied with a nod of his head. "Why are you up early? Do you have coffee already? How about breakfast?" he asked, petting the goat in front of him."I already had coffee in the kitchen before coming here. Lorey is busy with breakfast preparation," she replied, lowering herself to the wooden chair under the shade of the tree."Do you want to ask me something?" he asked. "Say it. I'm listening."Clarice took a deep breath. "Regarding what happened in the mall yesterday when you made Aurelia and the shaman stumble on the escalator. How did you do it? Did you use some kind of magic?" she asked curiously.Grandpa stopped feeding the goat and looked at her. "Yeah, I have magician blood embedded in my veins. It's a gift from my mother's side. And I al
That afternoon, Clarice was bored inside the room so she went outside, settled on the chair under the shade of the tree, enjoying the gentle breeze while reading a book.Lorey was doing laundry at the back of the house while Grandpa Eliezer was taking a nap in his room.She closed her eyes for a moment, enjoying the peaceful surroundings, serenaded by the sounds of birds chirping in the branches of the trees.When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the sight of her beloved, standing before her, holding a restaurant take-out bag, smiling at her."How's your afternoon, babe?" he asked, settling on the wooden bench beside her and planting a kiss on her forehead lovingly.She smiled. "Great so far.""I bought your favorite apple pie with cheddar and soda for your afternoon snack," he said, handing the present to her."Wow, delicious!" She smiled happily, looking into the restaurant's take-out bag. "Thank you so much, babe," she said, planting a kiss on his cheeks affectionately."How
The day had finally come for Luna Viviana to fly to Australia. She was mentally and emotionally ready for her first trip outside the country without her husband by her side.She sat on the bed, checking her bags, not wanting to miss anything, especially her passport and other important travel documents. She can't enter Australia without them.Her bags were already taken by the servants and already loaded into the trunk of her husband's car. She felt happier nowadays because her husband had been giving her enough attention in bed and outside the bedroom as well.He became attentive to her needs and affectionate, making her happy and satisfied.So far, their marriage life has turned peaceful again just the way she likes it. Although sometimes he became absent-minded and zoned out as if something was bothering his mind and if she asked him why, he would say nothing.She knew that her husband was busy with the landslide currently going on in the villages, and he was hands-on with helping
The couple landed in a clearing near the lake."Oh, why are we here?" Clarice asked, surprised, looking at the calm dark water of the lake in front of them. "Are we going for a night swim?"Alpha Callum grinned. "No. We are here for some loving," he whispered naughtily. "We shall start working on child #2," he answered.Clarice giggled. "You are so horny and naughty!" she exclaimed in amusement."Wait here for a second. I'm going to my house to get the tent, blanket and pillows. We will spend the night here," he said."Okay, hurry up. If you keep me waiting for so long, I'll return to the farm house," she jokingly said."Promised, I'll be back before you get tired of waiting," he said, and initiated teleportation in his mind.Alpha Callum disappeared from the area before Clarice could even utter a reply.Clarice walked to the edge of the bank and looked at the pristine lake. The water looked calm and magical. She looked heavenward. The stars and full moon in the sky cast a warm glow a
The following day, after breakfast, Alpha Callum and Clarice chatted with Grandpa Eliezer."Guys, enjoy the trip and get back home soon. I'm excited about meeting Caden, my great-grandson," Grandpa Eliezer said enthusiastically."We will definitely return quickly, Pops," Alpha Callum replied. "We will quickly return here even before we arrive there," he joked.Amused, Clarice laughed, pinching his arm."Kidding aside, guys, have you already packed everything?" Grandpa Eliezer asked, chuckling."Yep. I finished packing a few days ago, Grandpa. We are ready to go," Clarice responded cheerfully."Alright then, good luck on your trip, and enjoy your journey," Grandpa Eliezer said."Thanks, Pops." Alpha Callum smiled.Clarice said, "I'm going upstairs to put everything in my shoulder bag," she said, and climbed the stairs back to her room on the second floor.As soon as Clarice was out of earshot, Grandpa Eliezer asked, "Son, how is your wife there in Australia?""She has already arrived i
Noon came, the couple pulled over at the restaurant along the road and had lunch there. After half an hour of resting, they continued their journey, wanting to arrive at their location before evening came.Despite driving a little bit too fast on the open highway, they arrived at Lashpar Village at 5:30 in the afternoon.They parked the car in a clearing on the outskirts of the village. There are about ten wooden houses nearby."Where is Marina's house?" Alpha Callum asked, eyeing the dilapidated house a few meters away from where they parked their car."It's the wooden house under that white oak tree," Clarice pointed at the house in badly need of repairs. Her brows furrowed. Wait a minute, the last time she came here, the house didn't look like that. What's going on?"Why are the houses here looking like they have been abandoned for a long time?" Alpha Callum asked in bewilderment. "Are you sure that is Marina's house?" he asked in disbelief."Yup. I'm sure. I've been here several t
A woman came down from the wooden staircase and looked at the visitors. "What can I do for you sir?" she asked, looking at the unconscious woman in his arms. "What happened to her?" she inquired."My wife suddenly passed out," Alpha Callum replied."Oh, let's bring her upstairs to my house, so I can help you revive her," the woman offered kindly."Is it alright?" Alpha Callum asked. He doesn't want to impose himself on the owner of the house."Yes, please. My house is always open to anyone who needs my help," the woman said kindly."Thank you," Alpha Callum lifted Clarice's unconscious body and carried her upstairs to the living room of the wooden house."Bring her to my room, sir, and put her on the bed," the woman ordered.Alpha Callum obeyed and gently lowered Clarice's body onto the wooden bed."Why did she pass out?" the woman started asking questions. "You guys are not from here, right?" she asked."Yes. We came from the city. We are here to visit our son and bring him back to t
Alpha Callum pondered Clarice's question for a few seconds. "We will take him to the farm. I think Pops can heal him fast," he said confidently."Yeah, I think so," Clarice agreed."Let's go there now," Alpha Callum said."But the journey is quite long," she protested worriedly, deeply concerned about her son's weak condition. Caden's body was getting hotter in her arms.Alpha Callum smiled. "You forgot that I can teleport you back to the farm house in just a few minutes," he reminded her."Ah, I almost forgot about it. What are we waiting for? Let's do it now!" she said urgently."Wait a minute, I will park the car on the side of the road before we teleport back to the farm house," he said, carefully maneuvering the car into the small clearing beside the road."Why didn't you teleport us to Lashpar Village? Why go through the hassle of a long journey?" she asked."Because my teleportation skill has limits, babe. I can't teleport to a place I have never been before, that's why," he sa
The following day.Grandpa Eliezer arrived at the pack’s funeral home where Viviana’s body was being held for viewing by pack members since she was the former Luna of the pack. Everyone was given a chance to see her one last time.He sat beside his grandson. “Son, what happened? The news took me by surprise. How come Viviana went to the beach house and rode a speedboat, then drowned afterward? It does not make sense at all. She knows how to swim, right?” he asked in bewilderment.Alpha Callum took a deep breath. "The guard told me that Viviana had arrived at the beach unannounced and got into the speedboat, but before that... they noticed that she looked anxious and tense. In short, she looks problematic. She didn't look alright on the day she met her untimely death.”“What could be the problem? Why did she drive the speedboat at high speed? What made her do it?” Grandpa Eliezer asked.“The maid told me that Clarice arrived at the house while we were at the lake having a picnic. Clari
Kaspar was having breakfast one hour before he opened his fortune-telling store. His store assistant was on a five-day vacation leave in his hometown to attend his sister’s wedding. He will be back tomorrow morning.He received a call, and the call came from Alpha Bruce informing him of the bad news.“My wife, Luna Aurelia, is already dead. I just want you to know that because you are her closest friend,” Alpha Bruce said.“Whaaaat? What happened? How did she die?” Kaspar asked, his hands trembling while holding up the phone.“She went to our vacation house outside the city. The caretaker told me that after she had served dinner to my wife, she went to her room to sleep early because she had a headache. My wife was left in the infinity pool, swimming alone there. The following day, when she woke up and went to the pool to clean the area, she saw my wife’s lifeless body floating in the water. My wife drowned accidentally. No foul play based on the investigation conducted by the police
Viviana fell into the water. Even though she is a good swimmer, she can’t swim and save herself because her body is frozen. She can't move her hands and legs. Her body sinks deeper, salt water filling her lungs, drowning her.Back at the beach, the people saw Viviana still riding the speedboat, enjoying the ride; they didn't know that Viviana’s body had already sunk under the water. It was all just an illusion orchestrated by the invisible Clarice, so even if they attempted to save Viviana, she could no longer be saved.Two hours later…One of the guards saw that the speedboat had already stopped moving, and the driver was nowhere in sight.It took them a few minutes to realize that the driver of the speedboat had fallen into the water and probably met with an accident. They rushed to the sea and swam with their might until they found Viviana’s lifeless body floating behind the speedboat.They brought her body to shore and started CPR and rescue breathing.A few minutes later they gav
After learning about Clarice's coming home alive that day, Aurelia decides to hold an emergency meeting with her partners in crime at Kaspar’s place to decide what would be their next step to do considering their victim is still alive.Aurelia arrived at Kaspar's place ten minutes earlier while Viviana arrived fifteen minutes later.They settled on a sofa on the second floor of Kaspar’s house.Viviana glared at Kaspar. “I paid you $5 million to kill Clarice, but why did she return home today, alive and well?” she asked indignantly.“You failed to kill her for real the second time around! How can you be so careless?” Aurelia scolded him, her eyes blazing with anger and disappointment. “I paid you $5 million to end her life completely with no chance of coming back alive. Why didn't you make sure she would die in the ocean? Why?”Kaspar sighed heavily. “Girls, please don’t be quick to blame me. I did my best to eliminate Clarice. I threw her into the ocean. I'm sure she will never surviv
"I have to go now, dear husband, because our conversation is not getting anywhere. We are just hurting each other. Remember, I always love you," she said solemnly, tears glistening in her eyes. She walked toward her son, hugging him tightly. "I love you son. Mommy will return one day to see you again. Take care of your father and yourself for me. Okay?""I will, Mom. But why do you have to go away again? You said you would never leave me again. Why are you leaving me and Dad again?" Caden asked, confused."I have to go away for a while. Your father refused to accept me because according to him I'm a changed person. It's hard to explain everything to you, son. One day, when you grow older you will understand everything. Be good, okay?" Clarice said between sobs."Okay. I will wait for your return, Mom. Please come back soon. I miss you so much," Caden said tearfully, holding onto his mother's hand tightly, not willing to let go.Grandpa Eliezer said, "Let your mom go, son. She will ret
While everyone was in awe of her powers, Clarice noticed that her husband was brooding. He didn't say anything to her after her demonstration of power. "What's wrong, husband?" she asked worriedly.Grandpa Eliezer quickly sensed a changing tide. He said, "Guys, let's give the couple a chance to talk in private," he said, holding Caden's hand, pulling him away from the couple.Marina and Carlos walked away with their baby daughter.When the couple is finally left alone, it's time for confrontation."Who is the guy who pushed you into the water during our cruise ship holiday? Tell me his name so I can kill him with my hands," Alpha Callum asked, wanting to avenge his wife."No need. I want to punish that person with my own hands. He and I have a lot of scores to settle. I would not be happy if he dies in anyone's hands. He must suffer terribly at my hands. I won't be merciful this time. Revenge is sweeter if I do it my way. I'm powerful now. No need to protect me. No one can harm me aga
Clarice sits on the edge of her son's bed, pondering what she's going to do next.Should she just wait here for her husband and son to come home or teleport there now to Grandpa Eliezer's farm?Ah, it's much better to go there now and see everybody!She initiated the teleportation process in her mind and disappeared from her son's room in the blink of an eye.Meanwhile, Viviana has just finished informing her partners in crime that Clarice is very much alive. She left the master bedroom and searched for Clarice, but she couldn't find her in Caden's room.Where is she?She went to the staircase and looked down below in the living room. Clarice was not there either."Where is Charice?" she asked the maid who climbed the stairs, bringing fresh laundry to the second floor."I didn't see Luna Charice, Madam. I thought she was now resting in the master's bedroom?" the maid asked, confused.Viviana glared at the maid. "Don't call her Luna! I'm the real Luna and the wife of Alpha Callum!""Co
The following day, after breakfast, Clarice was having a conversation with Demetria in the living room.Clarice said, "I would like to ask for your permission.""What for?" Demetria asked."I want to go home today to visit my family. I have this sudden urge to see them," Clarice replied."Sure no problem. Are you going to reveal everything to them today?" Demetria asked."Yeah, hopefully so. It all depends on the situation though," Clarice replied. "I may spend the night there. I will see you tomorrow," she said."OK. But what if your husband insists on coming here because he is angry and wants to have a fight with me? What will you do?" Demetria asked."It would never happen," Clarice assured her."He might get angry that I imprisoned you in the basement and turn you into a vampire. Sometimes men are like that. They easily get angry about a lot of things without getting to the bottom of everything," Demetria explains.Clarice sighed. "I know. I will explain everything properly to my
Magnus smiled and broke the awkward silence. “We were elated to finally meet the Supreme Punisher. Rest assured that we will give our very best to our jobs, and we will not abuse our power and position,” he assured her quickly.“Thank you, Magnus. I’m glad to meet you all. Together we will work hand in hand to preserve peace and unity for the welfare of all peace-loving creatures on this planet,” Clarice responded, her words laced with wisdom.“Yeah. Peace for all," Magnus agreed. "This moment calls for a celebration,” he added cheerily, clapping his hands, his gaze glued on the masked woman who deeply aroused his curiosity.The door opened. Women, wearing black attire, arrived, holding silver trays in their hands. The women put the wine glass filled with red liquid on the table. After finishing the task, the women left the room quietly.“Everyone, let’s drink this high-quality blood taken from teenage human boys and girls,” Magnus said, picking up his glass, and raising it. The other
