Ace put his payment on the table and rushed out of the bar in a hurry.
You have to be okay, Lucas.

Camron shook his head and slapped his own cheek, attempting to clear his foggy mind.
‘Ugh… seriously shouldn’t go to that drinking party with them,’ Camron thought, trying to find the apartment key in his bag.
He just had one drink and he felt as though he is drunk.
That was when he heard a faint whimpering sound. Camron flinched, just like Petal, Camron had a habit of being curious too.
Slowly moving towards the sound, Camron found himself at the backstreet. He gulped when he saw how dark the alley is and it wasn’t even that late, but he was all alone.
Listening intently to the soft sounds, Camron moved towards a pile of cardboard boxes.
As soon as
Seeing Camron like that, Lucas couldn’t help but move closer to Camron, putting a paw on him.Camron smiled, taking Lucas’s paw in his hand.“Are you worried about me? Don’t worry…” Camron said, looking towards the door.He knew that his sister only wanted the best for him and also to not worry him. But, she always shouldered everything on her own as if she is doing this by herself. He is also family, he wanted to help.“Sometimes I just wish that my sister will rely on me more instead of…”Lucas just stayed there with his paw in Camron’s hand for a long moment until Camron broke his train of thought and have his emotions tidied.He petted Lucas, putting his gentle smile back on his face, “I need to go to class, stay at home, and rest so that you will get better.”&
Ace’s eyes soften, a dashing smile spread across his face, “and I…”Stunned by his charming looks, Petal blinked, feeling faint blush dusted her cheeks. She snapped back to reality and quickly shoved the notebook to Ace.“Y-you choose from there and I’ll write it down,” Petal said, lowering her head to hide the red on her cheeks as she rummaged for a card and pen.“How about this one?” Ace smirked, holding the notebook up with one hand, and pointed to one of the quotes.“Which one?” Petal was right across the counter and couldn’t see all the clear, so she leaned on the counter and peered at the notebook.“When I’m with you, my days feel brighter, you’re perfect to me-I love you," Ace recited the line, slightly shifting his body around the counter and close to Petal.Pet
“Bun Bun!”Before Lucas could damagedo anything in Petal’s studio, Camron came back just in time to drag him out of there.When they’re out inthe living room, Camron kneeled down on the floor putting on a stern face, but Lucas just found it to be adorable.“Bun Bun, you can’t go in there,” Camron said, making a cross sign with his arm, “that’s where Petal works, if the products are damaged she couldn’t sell them and we’ll go hungry.”Camron went over to the work studio, pointing at the room, and made the cross sign, “Work studio, no no!”Then, he ran back to the living room, “living room, yes.”“Do you understand what I’m saying?” Camron asked.Lucas nodded and re
“Jaidyn, I will be staying late tonight. I need to work on some orders,” Petal said before getting off work.“Don’t overwork yourself okay?” Jaidyn said, putting down the watering spray bottle.“Petal, Petal, when can I see Bun Bun?” Ronin said, lightly pulling the hem of Petal’s top.“Bun Bun still hasn’t fully recovered, when he’s better I’ll invite Ronin to the park and we’ll play together okay?” Petal said, patting Ronin on the head.Petal pulled out her cellphone to let Camron know that she’ll be late tonight.~Camron was at the campus when he received the text.“Hey, Camron,” Kyle came forward, putting his arm around Camron’s shoulder.One look at Kyle, Camron knew what he wanted.&ld
Camron felt a shadow loomed over him and before he could process what happened, Lucas was above him.“Ah!”A piercing scream sliced through the air, Camron and Lucas turned towards the scream and saw both Petal and Ace at the door.“What are you doing to my brother?!” Petal cried, pulling out her wand.When Ace saw Petal whipping out her wand, he instantly grabbed Petal by the wrist. Petal shoot him a confused glance, trying to wriggle out from his grip.“He’s Bun Bun!”“I’m Bun Bun!”The Roserade siblings respond with an‘Eh?’, looking at them with their eyes widen. Petal was the one who came back to her senses first.So, at the next second, Lucas was sent flying to the wall.“Why did you do that?” Ace couldn
“I don’t think Lucas is only hurt physically, something is definitely going on,” Ace said.Petal’s eyes landed on Lucas, then back at Ace.“Both you and Lucas are from the Silver Shadow pack. Lucas’s wounds had to do with the mafia conflicts recently,” Petal did not take her eyes off Ace as she states the obvious facts.“You come to me because you knew that I’m a white witch and I’m also currently not with my witch coven,” Petal continued.Ace smirked, leaning back on the couch, “you’re right.”“I also know that your social circle is basically this big,” Ace said, making a tiny circle with his finger, “you may be close with Ariana Fox from Crimson Heart tribe, but you’re not involved with our world in any way.”Seeing how confident Ace is, Petal w
New moon.This will be the night where Petal initiated the ritual that broke Lucas’s curse. Petal had hoped that their attempt will succeed on the first try.A night of a new moon, the completion of a cycle, or the beginning of a new phase, the symbolism of new beginnings. Apart from a full moon, conducting a ritual on a new moon is considered a perfect timing as well.When Petal got off work, she instantly sprinted back home because there was a lot of preparation that needed to be done before the start of the ritual.Ace arrived at the Roserade’s apartment witnessing chaos. He had to do a double-take before he moved closer to see what was going on.Petal laid flat on the floor holding a white chalk in one hand while the other hand is holding a protractor. She used that math tool to measure something, then continue to draw on the floor.“Cam
With Petal’s own magic, the rune circle beneath them as well as the new moon buff; everything was going well at her end...for now. But, that wasn’t the case for Lucas. At first, Petal’s magic managed to soothe the chaos within his body. However, when Petal started to combat the dark energy. A war began within him. Even with the protection crystals, he could clearly sense whatever that was going on in his body. Even though the protection crystals guarded his well-being, he still felt exceptionally uncomfortable. By the sideline, Camron and Ace watched everything in motion with concern. The curse mark on Lucas suddenly crackled with black energy, enveloping Lucas in a black cocoon. The crystals Lucas wore around his neck took effect and surrounded Lucas in a barrier, preventing the black energy to infiltrate him. Petal narrowed her eyes, golden flecks flickered in her forest-green eyes. She twirled her wand, a soft pink glow emitted from the rose quartz crystal. Camron and Ace wat
