Mag-log inDAISY“Lila?” I exclaimed in shock.“Healthy and alive,” she said, spreading her arms open as she chuckled.The rage boiling through me intensified. It surged through my veins like fire, hot and violent, until all I could think about was breaking free. I started pulling at the cuffs with all my strength, desperately wishing they would snap so I could pounce on Lila and destroy her with my bare hands.“Easy,” Lila muttered calmly, as though she was not evil. “You will only injure yourself like that. You can never break yourself free.”“You betrayed us!” I growled.I could feel my wolf starting to surface, clawing her way up from within me. But for some reason, she felt trapped. She was fighting to come forward, struggling violently beneath my skin, but something was holding her back. Some unknown force had locked her away from me.Gabriel had trapped her.“I swear,” I continued, poison lacing every word I spat, “I will kill you the moment I set myself free.”“Unfortunately, or fortunat
DAISYMy body felt light. Extremely light, as though a burden I had been carrying for so long had finally been lifted off my shoulders. The intense body heat was no longer there, neither was the will to destroy. For the first time in a while, I felt free. If not for the threat ahead that required my maximum magic to fight, I would have never taken it back.We continued training, and I was making significant progress. Elder Amos was a good and patient teacher, guiding me through how to control my magic. I had also been sparring with Peter, and we had grown quite close over the last seven days.Today, I had finished practicing with Elder Amos and was sparring with Peter. Before today, we had always bantered while we sparred, but now he was extremely quiet and looked gloomy, as though something was bothering him.“Are you okay?” I asked with concern as our blades clanked against each other.“What?” he asked.“You seem really quiet today. Is something bothering you?” I asked.“I am fine,”
DAISYGideon was definitely hiding something from me. He probably didn’t want to get me worried. That was why he was hiding it. If not for the fear of hurting the people I loved, I would have teleported to the pack to find out what was happening. But since I couldn’t do that, I decided to go ask Mother.I had suspected that she was in the throne room, so I made my way there.Just as expected, I found her seated comfortably on the throne, several scrolls floating around her while she reviewed them.A smile tugged at my lips immediately.“Well, look at you,” I teased as I walked further inside. “The Mighty Clan Leader.”Mother rolled her eyes dramatically.“Please spare me,” she groaned. “I have been buried in work all evening.”I chuckled softly before sitting on the step beneath the throne.“I still can’t believe you are actually leading the entire kingdom now.”“Neither can I,” she muttered tiredly. “Sometimes I miss when your grandfather handled all of this.”My smile softened sligh
GIDEONThe moment the call with Daisy ended, I remained seated in silence for a while, staring blankly at the desk in front of me.Something about the entire situation felt wrong.No matter how much I tried to ignore the feeling, it lingered heavily in my chest like a warning sign.One of the warriors claimed to have sighted some strange soldiers outside the pack borders, so I had sent Ethan and some of my other men to go check it out.Now, I was in my office, waiting for their return...A knock on the office door interrupted my thoughts.“Yes, come in,” I muttered.The door opened, and Ethan stepped inside.His expression alone told me the news wasn’t good.“What do you have?” I asked immediately as I rose to my feet.“We found camps around the pack,” he answered grimly.My jaw tightened instantly.“What kind of camps?”“Military camps,” he replied. “Massive ones.”Shock hit me immediately.“What?”“We discovered traces of several hidden camps stationed around the borders of the pack
DAISY“Try to make it smoke,” Elder Amos repeated calmly. “Without burning it.”I stared at the dried stick in my hand with disbelief.“That’s the first lesson?” I asked.“Yes,” he nodded simply.Peter snorted beside me. “Trust me, it sounds easier than it actually is.”I narrowed my eyes at him. “You don’t even wield fire magic. How do you know?”“I’ve seen my father do it countless times,” he shrugged.I ignored him and focused my attention back on the stick. I could feel the fire beneath my skin already responding to my emotions, eager to burst free the moment I let my guard down.“Fire magic is not about destruction,” Elder Amos began as he slowly walked around me. “That is the first mistake most fire wielders make. Fire is emotion. Fire is life. Fire is warmth before it becomes destruction.”I stared at the stick carefully.“So what exactly am I supposed to do?”“Control the temperature,” he answered. “You are not trying to burn it. You are trying to heat it just enough for smoke
DAISYGabriel had managed to dodge, and the fire dispersed into the air. “Daisy!” Mother screamed in panic, “why did you do that?”“Reveal yourself, Gabriel!” I growled.“Gabriel?” her eyes widened in shock as she flicked her gaze at the man standing before us.We had planned to use the illusion magic on him, but he was also good at it. What couldn’t this man do? He was so evil and powerful.“My name is Amos. Not Gabriel,” he muttered. I didn’t miss the faint smirk on his lips. “Perhaps, your loss of control is causing hallucinations.”“Do not try to gaslight me!” I growled as another ball of fire formed on my fingertips and I blasted him with it. Yet again, he dodged.“Daisy,” my mother called, “are you sure?”“One hundred percent,” I responded.“You want to trust a witch who has lost control?” Gabriel, who was in Amos’ skin, chuckled darkly. Even that chuckle carried something familiar, something unmistakably like Gabriel. “We need to knock her unconscious before she burns the enti
VIOLETLila had a grim look on her face as she spoke, “Every witch has their own special ability. And Nina, it seems her special power is the ability to take the form of another person.”Daisy’s mom and Daisy gasped in shock at the revelation.“What do you mean? Explain better,” the Northern King
AXELMason and Indie were already waiting for me outside. I handed the phone to them once I got to where they were. “Please make it snappy,” I told them.They got to work immediately, while I kept looking towards the locker room, looking out for Zara. She must not know what we were doing; if not,
AXEL“Let’s slip out before our parents notice,” I mind-linked Violet, my gaze fixed on her.“Your father would have to assign a room to me, remember? I am not going to sleep outside,” she replied.“Why do you need another room?” A small smile touched my lips. “My room is ours, baby.”She chuckled.
AXELWhen I suspected that it was Zara who had been kidnapping those kids, I truly hoped that I was wrong. She had been a good coach, or so I thought. I never knew it was all a façade. I am just glad that the cat has finally been let out of the bag.Before now, I had tried reading her mind, but li
