C811: Control vs loyalty

last update publish date: 2026-09-18 16:42:12

After hearing Talia so easily mention a high-ranking position to Varya, Drake had to say something.

'High-ranking people should be the ones you can trust,' Drake's voice sounded in Talia's head. 'No matter what their skills are, if you give them power, they could use it against you. The more skilled they are, the more dangerous they will become. It's a double-edged sword.'

Talia looked at Drake sadly. 'Is there anyone I can trust other than you?'

Drake pressed his lips into a line. How can he s

    'BOOOOM!'A thunderous explosion shook the room, and Talia found herself in Drake's embrace. He shielded her with his body from the debris.The dust settled, and Talia blinked to see on the side Axel holding Yasmin protectively with his back facing the explosion, just as Drake was holding her. Cassandra, Calla, and Remi were hiding behind the stone table.Talia's eyes widened when she saw the area where the necklace exploded. Everything in that corner was blasted away, including the walls. There was a gap big enough for a person to pass into the adjacent lab. Three panicked heads were peeking through there to see what caused that explosion."It's OK!" Cassandra exclaimed while waving at those three healers to leave. "Just an experiment went out of hand!"Talia silently thanked the Moon Goddess that no one else was in the lab. If this stunt ended up killing someone, she would blame herself forever."Is everyone OK?" Talia asked."We are fine," Yasmin responded for her and Axel."Ugh,"

    "What makes them magical?" Axel asked Cassandra. No matter how he looked at those, they were ordinary.Cassandra reached into a box and took one diamond-shaped silver brooch. "If this is normal, it would be affected by abilities. However, all these things will absorb the energy directed at them, change its properties, or repel it. I'm not sure if that classifies them as magical, but they were tampered with magic. I experimented enough to know that whatever was done with these, it's beyond our knowledge.""And you didn't report this to Alphas?" Axel asked angrily while pointing at the chest.Cassandra raised her arms defensively. "They were right here. I assumed that one of the previous Alphas got these as a gift, or maybe one of our gifted pack members crafted them. And there was a possibility of them being failed experiments of imbuing items with abilities." She turned to Talia. "We don't care about gold, silver, and gems. Other than being shiny, they have no other purpose."Werewolv

    "I apologize, Alpha Drake. I didn't mean any disrespect." Cassandra said in a shaky voice. With every passing heartbeat, her body was chilled by the cold sweat."It's OK," Talia responded, more to calm down Drake than for Cassandra. "I will think about it and let you know."The truth was that Talia was curious about her powers as well. The only problem was that she didn't trust the Oracle."Can I?" Talia asked while pointing at the purple palm-sized crystal shaped like a crooked pyramid.Cassandra gestured for Talia to go ahead, and Talia took the crystal into her hand. Its smooth surface was cold to the touch.'What do you think, Liseli?' Talia asked.'It's a pretty rock.''Can it measure magic? Or is it about something else?''Are you worried if it can detect me?''Yes.' Talia admitted while keeping the crystal back to the altar.The old wolf didn't have an answer to this question. Can there be a thing that detects spirits and determines their nature? Anything was possible.Talia wo

    The faster the winds around Talia and Yasmin whipped, the more Drake's anxiety rose as it reminded him of the phenomenon in the realm of witches when Talia and Yasmin hugged to summon a powerful tornado that glowed. Wasn't that related to a portal that was lost? Were they about to open another one?Once, it might be accidental or due to the location, but this was the second time, and it couldn't be a coincidence. It was like Talia and Yasmin resonated to awaken greater powers. Drake barely held back from rushing in there and snatching Talia away from Yasmin. What if something had happened? What a portal opens and swallows Talia? The thought of losing Talia was gripping his heart, and he wished for this spectacle to end right that instant. Cornelia and Amelia couldn't see each other clearly because of the dust that twirled with the wind around Talia and Yasmin. Cornelia and Amelia were unsure what to do. Should they start chanting for this to stop or to give it a boost? Both witches kn

    The next day…After breakfast, Talia wanted to seek Cassandra in order to see ancient relics, but Yasmin blocked her path."I spoke with Axel. He agrees."Yasmin gave Talia a knowing look, and Talia understood this was about Talia channeling energies to Yasmin.Talia craned her neck to see Axel. "Are you sure?"He was not really excited about it, but he nodded. "If that's what Yasmin wants, we should do it. But start slowly and if anything seems amiss…""I will stop," Talia ended instead of him."What's this about?" Drake asked.Cornelia and Amelia also perked up their ears, eager to hear Talia's response.Talia felt guilty for not telling Drake right away, but she didn't think that Axel will agree to this stunt. Besides, they spent most of the evening talking about the safest approaches to bring members of the Midnight Guardians into the human realm, and then they made love, and Talia fell asleep."While you tell him the details, I will inform healers to get ready," Axel said, and hi

    "Will you tell me what's going on?" Talia asked Cassandra and Keith, who were both looking at their feet."Nothing." Keith and Cassandra responded in unison."That didn't look like nothing," Yasmin chimed in. "Lover's quarrel?"Keith and Cassandra grimaced like they had eaten something sour.Talia was not in the mood to play. She crossed her arms over her chest. "Which one of you will explain why are Oracle of my pack and the head of my guards fighting in the hallway like two ruffians?"Cassandra responded, "I gave him a necklace, and he threw it away.""You didn't say I need to return it." Keith barked back.Talia's eyebrows rose in slow motion. "I didn't realize that your relationship progressed to the point where you are exchanging jewelry.""Bwahahaha!" Yasmin burst into laughter."It's not like that!" Keith said with urgency. Did Talia think he was wearing such things? "Cassandra gave me a necklace, saying that it would help me. That necklace could resist magic, but it broke, so
