Chapter 8

ผู้เขียน: Seren
Looking at that horrifying face, terror surged through me.

While she wasn't looking, I pulled the cross from my sleeve and hurled it at her chest.

The cross struck her and hissed out a wisp of white smoke.

But the next second, Kylie just sneered, swatted it to the ground, and crushed it underfoot.

"You think a piece of junk like that can stop me?"

She looked down at me, her eyes full of mockery:

"Bella. You ruined my plan. If the binding had gone through, I would've taken control of the whole pa

  • The Witch's Second Life   Chapter 8

    Looking at that horrifying face, terror surged through me.While she wasn't looking, I pulled the cross from my sleeve and hurled it at her chest.The cross struck her and hissed out a wisp of white smoke.But the next second, Kylie just sneered, swatted it to the ground, and crushed it underfoot."You think a piece of junk like that can stop me?"She looked down at me, her eyes full of mockery:"Bella. You ruined my plan. If the binding had gone through, I would've taken control of the whole pack, just like that.""But no. It had to be you. You'd rather destroy yourself than let me have my way.""Since you're so eager to die, I'll kill you first."She bared her fangs and lunged straight for my throat.Once, I could have held my own against a vampire of her level.But now, in this broken body, there was no way to dodge.I closed my eyes and waited for death.Out of the darkness, a wolf's howl exploded overhead!Hall was back.He was covered in blood, a Frostbloom still clutched in his

    In my sleep, hurried footsteps cut through the silence.Elder Rowan's door was shoved open.I opened my eyes and strained to look toward the doorway.It was Hall.He came to my bedside and spoke softly:"It's all been cleared up... Mary did it, on Kylie's orders.""Bella, I was wrong. I'll clear your name in front of the whole pack, and I'll make it up to you after this is over.""Please. Forgive me. Please."The room was dead silent. The heavy scent of herbs drifted through the curtain.A long moment passed before I finally spoke, my voice utterly flat."Hall. As Alpha, it's your duty to pull the pack out of crisis.""As for whether I forgive you, that's between you and the Moon Goddess.""Go. I'm tired. Don't disturb my rest."Hall stood frozen by the bed, pain and regret filling his eyes.He didn't leave. Instead he reached for the corner of my blanket, then pulled his hand back in midair."Bella, I went to the Moon Spring. I asked the Moon Goddess through the staff...""The oracle

    Hall's POVIn the forbidden chamber, Mary confessed everything.She resented how long Bella had sat in the head witch's seat.Long enough that she had no idea when her own turn would ever come.So when Kylie came to her, promising to lift her up the moment Bella was gone, she agreed without a second thought.It was Mary who stole the crystal ball while Bella wasn't looking.It was Mary who used the spells Bella had taught her to butcher the three elders.Then she left the bloodstained crystal ball at the scene and hid the forged letters under Bella's bed.After that, all it would take was Kylie fanning the flames, and Hall would send Bella to the stake without hesitation.Reading the confession the guards handed him, Hall slumped into the stone chair, shaking from head to toe.He couldn't bear to imagine it. Kylie. The woman he'd given his heart to, the one he'd favored unconditionally, was this vicious.And Bella had sensed the danger again and again, fighting to warn him, and every t

    "Enough. All of you, stop talking!"Hall stepped in front of Kylie, his voice laced with anger.But a split second later, a flicker of fear crossed his bloodshot eyes.The whole pack went silent with terror, the air filled only with heavy, ragged breathing.Hall walked toward me, step by step.With every step, his body trembled uncontrollably.Elder Rowan planted himself in front of me, pleading desperately:"Alpha! She's dying! Let her go!"Hall said nothing. He simply reached out one hand and pushed Elder Rowan aside.Then he looked at me, his eyes full of guilt."Bella...""Why... why would you hurt yourself like this..."The scenes from yesterday spun through his mind like a carousel.Yesterday, when Bella, the witch who had done so much for this pack, begged him, what was he doing?He was mocking her. Interrogating her.He'd assumed it was all an act to keep Kylie from becoming Luna."Why didn't you say so sooner... Why didn't you explain a single word!"Hall let out a pained roar

    The cloak fell away, and my body was exposed, hideous wounds everywhere.The meridians that once flowed with power were now shriveled and purple, utterly lifeless.No one could believe a dying woman like this had the strength to assassinate council elders."Everyone, calm down. Listen to me!"Elder Rowan struggled to his feet and planted himself in front of me.His eyes were red as he jabbed a finger at Hall and shouted:"Bella was poisoned twice in a single day!""The first was in the morning. It devastated her power. The second was at dusk. It nearly killed her.""I worked all night to barely pull her back!"He turned to face the entire pack:"In other words, she lost the ability to use witchcraft long ago. So how exactly did she sneak into the Council Hall and murder battle-hardened elders?!"Everyone went quiet.Even Hall's brow furrowed, doubt creeping in.Elder Rowan had served the pack loyally his whole life, revered and respected. He would never lie about something like this.A

    The darkness broke with the sting of herbs in my nose.The moment I drew breath, pain knifed through my chest.Elder Rowan sat at my bedside, exhaustion etched into his face.Seeing me awake, he let out a long sigh."Thank the gods, you're alive. We nearly lost you.""But the poison went too deep. I'm afraid... you'll never use witchcraft again."I forced the corner of my mouth up. Even speaking drained me."The room's too close. Bad for clearing the poison. Let me help you out to the back garden for some air."He wrapped a heavy cloak around me and, supporting me, settled me onto the stone bench outside.We'd barely sat down when urgent bells rang out.Dong! Dong! Dong!Mournful. Piercing. Nine tolls in all.My heart dropped.Nine tolls of the death bell meant a council elder had been murdered.Elder Rowan's face went pale. The medicine bowl nearly slipped from his hand:"No, something's happened at the Council!"Then came the chaos of footsteps from every direction.Dozens of guards
