MasukDAISY“Why would Lila help us?” I muttered as I slowly inched closer to my mate, took the note, and glanced at it.Before Gabriel’s death, she had betrayed us and given her loyalty to him. Unless...“Perhaps she never betrayed us after all. Maybe she just wanted to get close enough to him to attack him,” Mother voiced out my thoughts.“But she helped Gabriel torture me while I was in captivity. And she was there when he almost killed Violet. If she hadn’t betrayed us, then why didn’t she stop him? And why isn’t she coming out to explain now that Gabriel is dead, instead of slipping us a note with a spell?” I muttered.Before anyone could respond, I moved toward Violet and crouched beside her. “We can think about that later. Let’s worry about reviving Violet first.”I looked at the spell again to memorize it.“Are you sure it will work? What if the spell contains something that would make her condition worse? We cannot trust Lila.” Axel said.“I agree that we cannot trust Lila, but tha
DAISYViolet was taken into Gideon’s and my bedroom, where she was carefully laid on the floor. We all gathered around her—Mother, Father, Axel, Gideon, and me—fear creeping into our hearts. If this went wrong, then we would lose Violet forever.Gabriel was dead, but he still continued to terrorize us. For some reason, his death didn’t bring any sense of satisfaction. Gabriel was one of the most powerful witches on earth. He was of the witches’ royal blood, and on top of that, he performed dark magic. Could his death really be that easy?My subconscious sensed that something wasn’t right, but I quickly pushed that thought down. I was probably just paranoid, I told myself.“Are you sure this will work?” Axel asked. I had never seen so much fear in his eyes. He was terribly scared of losing his mate. So was I. Violet was my best friend, and losing her would crush me.With that fear lodged inside me, the confidence to carry out the spell started to weaken. I started having doubts. What i
GIDEON“Are they alive but unconscious, or dead?” I quickly asked the Soldier that came to inform me.Before he could even answer, I was already on my way back to the pack house.The pack was in chaos, with lots of screaming and wailing spreading through the area. About ten percent of my pack members had collapsed to the ground. Men, women, and even children.Something tightened in my chest at the sight.“Take them to the pack hospital now!” I instructed my soldiers, and they began lifting them off the ground and rushing them to the pack hospital.What the hell could be happening to them? Was there something in the food and drinks? Was it food poisoning?Daisy’s mother approached us, along with her father.“Where have you all been? We have been searching for you,” Amelia said.“Gabriel kidnapped Violet, but luckily, we were able to save her,” Daisy told her mother.“Oh, my...” she gasped. “Where is she now?”“Axel has taken her somewhere safe,” Daisy responded.Amelia sighed in relief
DAISYWhen we got there, we found Gabriel, and he had already started slowly cutting through the skin on Violet's neck while she was still unconscious. Axel appeared out of nowhere, slamming his body against Gabriel and knocking him off her.Gabriel picked himself up immediately, his eyes burning with rage as he glared at Axel. "You do have some balls. I think I'll kill you instead of your mate. Being the most powerful Alpha doesn't make you untouchable.""Is killing people your hobby?" I growled. "Violet has done nothing to you, yet you want to kill her.""Actually," he flicked his gaze at me, "the plan is to kill the people you hold dear one by one until you surrender to me.""I will never let you hurt anyone I love!" I growled.Axel launched at him, changing into his wolf form midair and knocking Gabriel down. He tried to sink his fangs into his neck, but Gabriel cast a spell that sent him flying away, his body slamming against a tree."Today is the day you die, Gabriel," I growled
DAISYWe returned to the West, and the wedding preparations began immediately. Invitations were sent across the three other kingdoms and also to the witches’ kingdom, apologizing for the short notice. We were hoping to reach Gabriel wherever he was, and Lord help him if he appeared at the ceremony, because today would be his final day.I would be honest, I was kind of nervous about everything, wondering how everything would go tonight. Gabriel was smart and dangerous, and we never knew what he was up to.What if he played a reverse Uno on us tonight?When night came, I got dressed in the Western royal attire, a white dress with diamonds all over it. I walked slowly to the hall, accompanied by Violet. We stood behind the long, wide curtain, and behind that curtain was the altar where Gideon stood, being crowned by his father.Only after the Alpha crowning ceremony had been completed would the Luna ceremony commence.Violet held my hand and gave it a little squeeze when she noticed how
DAISY“Why do you think so?” Gideon asked curiously.“While I was there, Lilith and Jadis kept sneezing repeatedly, as though they were reacting to something. Something that only affected werewolves, because Gabriel and Lila weren’t sneezing. And I guess I also didn’t sneeze because my wolf had been bound,” I told him.“You suspect the presence of wolfsbane around the building,” Gideon muttered.“Exactly.”“So all we have to do is dig, and not uncloak. How could a structure like that even exist without the east’s knowledge?” Ethan chimed in.“We are not sure it’s there yet. But we wouldn’t know unless we try,” I muttered, as I quickly called Mother again.“You are at the witches’ kingdom, right?” I asked.“Yes. Did something happen?” she asked.“I think I may know where Gabriel truly is. I am coming to you now.”After ending the call, I turned my attention to Gideon.Before I could say anything, he muttered, “I am coming with you.”I leapt to my feet and stretched my hand forward for
VIOLETI opened my eyes, feeling how weak my muscles were. This was so frustrating. I woke up every time, not knowing the next time my temperature would rise and make me faint again. I couldn’t continue living this way. I was on the verge of losing my sanity. My father wouldn’t tell me why the wi
AXELMy mind was a complete mess. I couldn’t stop thinking about everything that had happened—Violet, Indie... all of it. I had trusted Indie with my life. I never imagined she could do something like that, only to leave me deeply disappointed in her.And the worst part? I couldn’t even hate her fo
AXELLila had won. Again. And we had no idea what she was planning. But now we had the hint that she was working with Silas. After we realized our plan had been busted and Lila had shattered the black vase, I wanted to follow my parents back to the pack house to join in solving the mystery from the
AXEL"What?" I narrowed my eyes, trying to process Indie’s words. "What do you mean it was all Lila’s plan?" “She...” She ran her fingers through her hair, breathing heavily. “The attack on Violet, the mate scent you perceive—it was all planned. She wanted to be able to control you using the fake
