The Red Witch 22. Birth of an Alpha
What do you want, jerk?That is what I wanted to say, but Daniel and his brothers are guests and also royalty. I have to be respectful to my neighboring allies.I placed my hand over my heart and lowered my head as I curtsy. "Your highness." I lift myself. "Thank you for coming.""Alice is there any way you and I can have a private talk."I lift my brow. "If you have something to say, say it here," I tell him. "As you can see, I have to greet my other guests. I'm surprised you aren't worried about being surrounded by monsters. Not to worry, they serve under me. I give the orders."I made it sound like a threat, but Daniel didn't seem too intimidated."Okay, first of all. What are you wearing?" He asks."Excuse me?" "This is supposed to be a costume party that you initiated, yet you are wearing what those women wear in the Dust District."The Dust District, hence the name, has no pavement, only dirt in the lower part of Whithold. It's where the scums, low life, and women give their
The Red Witch 23. Who is Icarus?
Once Zayn evolution to his mature state on the day of his birthday, everyone at the party felt his aura. A compelling aura of an alpha. I knew Zayn was no ordinary beastman, but I would never have expected him to be an alpha.Three years ago, when I found him, he was timid and hostile mainly because he was captured and going to be sold on the black market. If it weren't for me and the others stopping the operation, Zayn would have been traded.Can't you believe I made a child with pure alpha blood be my assistant? Having such powerful blood in him makes him a prince. Then again, I didn't treat him as one like Daniel. If I were to known of Zayn's origin, I would have placed him in a different position. After the party, I offered him a higher status, but he declined at once. Zayn loves serving me and staying by my side. He even begged me not to give him the position. It was quite childish for someone who just transformed. But what was a beastman child doing with a trafficker?If Za
The Red Witch 24. Baltic Sea Port: The Weeping Woman Revenge (part 1)
I couldn't quite fathom the word that came from Zayn's mouth that night. I've been in a daze for a whole day after the party. My mind was adrift. It's been easy to understand Zayn's transformation to alpha but challenging to know how he claimed me as his mate. Every time we share eye contact, I avoid looking at him. Yesterday, I heard the word "mate" from a few maids cleaning the corridor. Something inside me flipped, and I ignored Zayn.I felt happy having him by my side and honestly didn't want him to leave me. Still, the word "mate" scares me. Am I his mate? It seems so surreal. I know how clinginess Zayn can be than anybody since we first met that night three years ago. I felt something, but it was more like protection to a kid with whom I felt close. Then again, I thought of Daniel, and Rebecca helped remind me not to fall too deep in love again. I shake my thoughts and focus on this trip. Zayn and I arrived at Baltic Sea Port this morning using teleportation.I could h
The Red Witch 25. Baltic Sea Port: The Weeping Woman Revenge (part 2)
Zayn and I arrived at the house on the hill. It was a manor that was said to be owned by a benvelot count and his family many years ago. But the main reason why no one has moved here since I purchased this land was because of its history. The history of the Weeping Woman. Before this area became fishing mined, other people had lived here under the rule of the Count and his family. The Count had a wife and one daughter. His daughter had been said to be the most beautiful and elegant woman. It was said by the old man who used to work for the Count and his family the daughter was pursued by wealthy and noble men in hand in marriage. There was one man who had set her eyes on.Not noble, not wealthy, but a fisherman. The daughter and the fisherman love each other so much they would meet at the beach and watch the Rainbow Whales together to commemorate their love. A promise to be together forever. One night, the Count’s daughter decided to elope and leave her title after hearing she
The Red Witch 26. Baltic Sea Port: The Weeping Woman’s Revenge (part 3)
"You have a lot of nerve showing up here, Pendleton," the menacing ghost woman glared her pale white eyes at the old man.The angry spirit doesn't look white as a ghost; her skin is dark, and her eyes are pale. You can't see pupils. She spread her menacing ghost powers to frighten the old lord. Pendleton took a step back. His face was pale as the white dress of this angry ghost. If I'm right, this angry spirit is none other than Count Everlot's daughter and this man's wife, Viola.“Please…don’t…I just…”"Just what!" Viola screeched. "For my dying wish to come here and mock me!""No!" Pendleton cries and drops down to his knees. "I-I just wanted you to leave me alone. I thought coming here and performing a ritual would ease your spirit. Please, Viola, let me be."Viola glared. "This wouldn't have happened if you let me leave with Tomas." Her angry tone shifts to a sob. "My love…"Viola clenches her hands against her heart as she calls out her lover's name. "I wouldn't have killed my
The Red Witch 27. Do I deserved his love?
After solving the problem involving Pendleton, I arrested him for the murder of Tomas Fren. I sentenced him to Pandora's State Prison for life after all the crime at Baltic Sea Port occurred here.We learned that Pendleton's businesses had a downfall crisis with his partners. Nobody wants to work with Pendleton because his warehouses are haunted. It seemed Viola did make her husband lose everything. She made him lose his title and wealth. Viola had her revenge already and wanted to pursue more by killing him.It's a good thing I talked her out of it. If Viola did kill Pendleton, she would turn into an evil spirit who would never rest and move on unless exorcist by a priest or killed by someone with magic. Someone like me. But that wasn't the only thing we found. It seems he also does business shipping cargo of Happy Dust. Zayn found travel logs and shipment slips in Pendleton's office. It's proof that the Happy Dust is being produced at Velasco, a city where the rich gets richer an
The Red Witch 28. The Masquerade Ball
My first thought… I'm not too fond of it. I hate big parties such as a ball. Fancy gowns, buffet table of finger foods, classical music, and everyone is in fancy attired! I hate the dress I have on right now. Mavelin designed a black and red dress. But luckily, I get to wear my leather pants underneath. Megan Jacobi has outdone herself with the party. I thought she would go wild and out since she's such a partygoer, but I recognized some people here. Influential people from all over the world are into crimes and illegal activities. I have to maintain myself from taking down some of the crime lords. I'm a distinguished guest looking for a source of Happy Dust. It was easy to enter the party with Pendleton's invitation, especially since Pendleton isn't Pendleton. Zayn had to impersonate me as I was his partner. It's a good thing they don't check for facial recognition; otherwise, I would have to use magic to conceal Zayn's face, which wouldn't be an issue. "Lady Alice," Zayn whis
The Red Witch 29. Volunteer as Tribute
The man had fully transformed into something not human. He arched his back, started growling like an animal and started charging at the Howler. They fought violently. I've observed the drugged human as he was pierced by the Howler's nails but did not feel any pain. "My lady," Zayn whispered as I nodded. "It seemed they added a new feature to Happy Dust." Megan Jacobi had upgraded the drug. "What are we going to do?" As much as I want to capture the human and bring him back for Prisca to examine. I can't expose our identities just yet. "We wait," I tell my companion. I eye Zayn and then watch how his hands curl into a fist on his lap. He's more hesitant than I am. But I can't let a rampaging alpha beast be involved in a fight. The crowd went louder when the man jumped on the Howler's shoulders. The creatures tried to grab him and throw him off. The man firmly crossed his legs around the Howler's neck while his hands held the head. The Howler struggled to break free, b
