Chapter 28Jason The girl just won't die! Davina, my ticket to the top. She's proving difficult, but nothing can stand in my way. There are many ways to do one thing. How could she make it through the distance through the woods, bleeding from an excruciating alpha-inflicted wound that should have killed her or at least knocked her out and almost dead? It was a perfect plan. We should have gone to meet Tobi that night on the outskirts of the town and then spend the night in a hotel until the next day, but I texted Tobi to cancel right after Kayla messaged me that Davina was snooping in Keith's room. I knew the girl would do anything for her brother whom I have in custody as leverage to make her do my bidding–he is poisoned with a particular kind of poison that only I can brew an antidote for. We were only a few miles away from the mansion when Tobi buzzed Keith and told him to cancel as some people have known about the meeting and it was too dangerous, and we would meet in the woods
Chapter 29KeithThe tension in the car was palpable as we drove towards the designated meeting point. Jason seemed on edge, and I couldn't blame him. The amulet we were after held immense power, and we were so close to finally getting our hands on it. But there was a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that something wasn't right.Jason's question broke the silence, and I focused on the road ahead before responding. "Yeah, it does feel strange that Tobi wants to meet us out in the middle of nowhere. But he's always been a bit unpredictable."I glanced at Jason from the corner of my eye, trying to gauge his reaction. He had been distant lately, and I couldn't shake the feeling that he was keeping something from me. I trusted him, but there was always a part of him that remained mysterious.As we continued our drive, Jason's phone buzzed, and he quickly retrieved it from his pocket. I saw a flicker of concern cross his face as he read the message. He then turned to me and spoke, his
Chapter 30 Jason I will kill Tobi if anything goes wrong with my plan. What the hell do I do now?As we drove towards the designated meeting point, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. The anticipation of finally getting my hands on the amulet was almost too much to bear. But as we got closer, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.Why would Tobi pull something like this on me out of nowhere?"Hey Keith," I said, turning to the alpha sitting next to me. "Don't you think it's strange that Tobi wants to meet us there, out in the middle of nowhere?"Keith merely grunted in response, his focus solely on the road ahead. I knew that he was anxious to get his hands on the amulet too. He had made no secret of the fact that he wanted to use it to find out who had poisoned his father.But I had other plans for the amulet. plans that involved using it to extract memories from a certain someone who had been eluding me for years.I couldn't help but steal a glance at Keith a
Chapter 31JasonAs we walked towards the meeting point, I couldn't shake off the feeling of impending danger. The sky was dark and the wind was howling like an angry beast. Keith seemed oblivious to the atmosphere, but I couldn't help but feel on edge. I kept scanning the surroundings, trying to spot any hidden threats that might be lurking in the shadows.We finally arrived at the entrance of an old abandoned warehouse. I recognized it immediately. Tobi and I used to play there when we were kids. It had been so long since the last time we were there, and I had forgotten the road that led to the place.Keith's phone suddenly rang, startling me more than him. He flashed his phone’s screen at me and I saw that it was Tobi. He picked up the call and put the phone on speaker. “Where are you?” Keith asked with anxiousness evident in his tone.“Hello there Lucifer, you are looking the same,” Tobi whined.“Where the hell ar
Chapter 32JasonKeith packed the car in front of my house, and we stepped down so I could go into my house and grab nothing–my silly attempt to make him go away didn’t work.As I took a few steps away from the car towards my front door, I heard a rush of wind, and my nostrils caught the scent of wolves. I whirled around, alert and ready to defend myself. Keith was already in alpha mode–glaring with red eyes, and his long wolf claws. He growled as more parts of his body morphed into his wolf self.One of the men stepped forward, shaking in terror as he explained that they weren’t there to fight, but were simple messengers from the second Prince of the Juno pack. They dropped the bombshell that Davina was with the Evans and she was safe and sound, recovering from her wound.As the men from the Juno pack left, Keith turned to me and asked, "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."I shook my head, trying to shake off the disappointment. "Nothing, I'm fine," I lied. “I almost di
Chapter 32JasonMy mind was racing with thoughts of what could have happened if Keith hadn't received that message. Would Tobi still be alivIt's best to leave the unknown alone!I could tell Tobi was nervous as I approached him. He knew that I was not happy with him, but he didn't know the extent of my anger. I needed to find out what went wrong with his plan and why he didn't have the amulet."Tobi, we need to talk," I said, my voice low and threatening.Tobi swallowed hard and nodded, his eyes darting around nervously. I could tell he was scared, but I needed answers."What happened to the amulet, Tobi? Why didn't you have it?" I asked, my tone leaving no room for lies or excuses."I was being watched, Jason. I couldn't risk being seen with it. I thought it would be safer to wait until we were somewhere more secure," Tobi explained, his voice shaking slightly.I understood his reasoning, but I couldn't help feeling frustrated. “We need to close the deal with Keith as soon as poss
Chapter 34KeithI had just received a message from Tobi that Jason was on his way to meet me. I didn't know what was going on, but it seemed urgent. I had to prepare for whatever was coming.I quickly made my way to my safe room and grabbed the ring that Tobi had told me about. I had to keep it safe at all costs. It was the key to everything.As I waited for Jason to arrive, I tried to calm my nerves. I didn't know what was happening, but I knew it couldn't be good. I had to be ready for whatever was coming.When Jason arrived, he looked panicked and out of breath. "Keith, we need to talk," he said urgently.I nodded and motioned for him to sit down. "What's going on?" I asked, handing him a glass of wine."The amulet is cursed, Keith. We had no idea. Tobi didn't know until recently. It's causing him to get sick, and whoever has it is in grave danger," Jason explained, his voice shaking.I couldn't believe what I was hearing. A cursed amulet? This was worse than I could have ever ima
Chapter 35JasonThe sorcerer laughed cruelly. "Oh, I think I will. You're no match for me," he said, raising his hand and summoning a bolt of dark energy.I didn't hesitate. I dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the blast. I knew I had to stay on the move if I wanted to survive.As I moved, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small pouch of powder. It was a mixture of rare herbs and spices that I had been collecting for years, and I knew it had potent magical properties.With a flick of my wrist, I tossed the powder towards the sorcerer, chanting an incantation under my breath. The powder exploded in midair, and a cloud of smoke enveloped the sorcerer.I used the distraction to my advantage. I ran towards the sorcerer, leaping into the air and landing a powerful kick to his chest. He stumbled backward, his eyes widening in surprise."You're stronger than you look," he said, his voice strained.I didn't give him a chance to recover. I lunged forward, landing a series of quick
