CHAPTER 10
Sandy’s POV
In the blink of an eye, Ora teleported me to my room and vanished. I didn’t even get a chance to talk or respond to her. That Grand Magus they were talking about, seemed pretty powerful. What if something happened to Ora?My eyes darted to Evaan who was still sleeping soundly. What would that mean for him? I wrung my hands and gaped at the space where Ora had been a few moments ago. If only I could teleport like that witchy woman.I kept smacking my fist against my palm as I started pacing along the length of the room. Wasn’t there anything at all I could do?“F***!” I exclaimed loudly as I smacked my palm in frustration. This startled Evaan and he sat up with a start. Rubbing his eyes groggily, he questioned, “What happened Uncle?” His eyes roamed over the room and he added, “Where is aunty?”“Umm… she has gone for some work, Evaan…. You go back to sleep.”I wasBab terkait

Ora’s POVThe cold, damp wall pressed against my back. It was so dark in the room that I couldn’t see anything at all. Grand Magus Valence kept torturing me for as long as I could remember. She wanted me to track down those children for her.But, after what she did to my sister…. I didn’t have the slightest motivation to help her. I endured everything silently; letting the pain and grief fuel the rage that had started simmering within me. If some day, I managed to get out of this place, I would find a way to avenge my sister.A groan escaped my lips as I tried to raise my hand for the hundredth time. With great effort, I managed to keep my hand suspended in the air for a minute before it slumped to my side again. My body was just as battered as my soul.There was a soft creak. Then a beam of light streamed inside the room. In the backdrop of the bright light, I saw two familiar silhouettes. Rubbing my eyes, I straightened my position. Was

Sandy’s POVI can’t believe what I just did. F***! I kissed a witch. Can you believe that? I kissed her…. My mind drifted to the way her soft lips moved against mine; they were so sweet, so tempting.Ora wasn’t like the other witches. She was probably one of those rare good ones. Still, I shouldn’t have kissed her back. I couldn’t give her any power over me. Resolving to have better control over myself, I returned to the inn with some breakfast.Evaan had already woken up and he was seated next to her, his little hands patting her head gently. Hearing my footsteps, he looked up, “How is Aunt Ora now? Did she wake up in the night?”“She did….” I placed the bag on the table. “I brought some celebratory breakfast.”His eyes lit up. Sliding down, he waddled towards the table. “Let me serve them.” He said as he opened the packaging. Evaan was very responsible for a five-ye

Over the next few days; we roamed together, teleporting to different regions of Halterland. Ora had insisted that Evaan stay back on all the trips. Evaan tried to use his impeccable reasoning but Ora was unmoved. She commanded him to stay back and gave him some grimoires to read. That kept his little mind busy while we scoured through markets, valleys and mansions.If I am honest, I was kind of thrilled by the idea of being alone with her. I was tempted to make a move but her business-like demeanor made me hesitate.One evening, we had just explored the ancient ruins of Lorem when she stopped abruptly. She looked at me with a serious expression, “We can’t continue like this, Sandy.”My heart skipped a beat on hearing this. Had she sensed my desire to make a move on her? I gulped and was about to speak up but the words wouldn’t leave my lips, “Ora…I….”“I can feel that Evaan is growing restless. If we don&rsq

Sandy’s POVI kept gaping at the empty space for quite some time; lost in my thoughts. I wondered if we would meet again in this lifetime; after all, she was a witch and I was a werewolf. A sigh of longing inadvertently left my lips, blending into the soft air of the woods.The sun had risen and its rays streamed through the gaps between the foliage bathing everything in its golden glow. I should have asked her to stay for a while. Then, I could have taken to my favourite lake and….The sudden sound of shuffling footsteps broke my train of thought. The bushes swayed at a distance as if they were being parted by someone. My first instinct was to run but I stopped myself. I was near my pack’s territory. What was there to fear?A few moments later, the thick overgrowth parted and two men emerged. They were dressed in battling armor. A deep frown settled on my forehead as I addressed the man standing to my left, “If I am right, you belong to

Sandy’s POV“Things have changed a lot over the last few years, Sandy… Everything we think or do has somehow become about annihilating witches. You know that I don’t think all witches are evil but if the Lycan King orders something I have no power to refuse him,” Kevin explained as we walked inside. That was new. He was explaining without me having to prod and nag.I snorted and shook my head. He was probably feeling guilty for setting me up without giving full details.“I really didn’t expect you to just get up and leave without discussing with me…. Else I would have made appropriate arrangements.” He held my arm, stopping me in my tracks. His words sounded sincere as he continued, “I am sorry that you had to go through this.”Alpha Kevin was apologising to me so easily? That was another first. His eyes seemed to reflect the honesty in his voice. I averted my gaze quickly. I didn’t w

Ora’s POVIt’s just been a couple of days since Sandy and Evaan left. But, it already feels like a part of me is missing.“Ora….Ora, when did start falling for strangers like this? Don’t you know that nothing good can come out of an association between a werewolf and a witch?” I chided myself as I changed and adjusted my hairstyle. Today was the thirteenth day after my sister’s death. Mother must have organised a formal ceremony to consecrate her remains. I knew she wouldn’t want me to attend it but I had to go.I was about to teleport right into my house but the sudden congestion in my heart made me lose focus. Moments later, I found myself in the midst of some ruins. The grass was charred and rubbles and chunks of the wall were littered as far as my eyes could see.What place was this? I sauntered around, trying to figure out the place I had accidentally teleported to. The trees on either side of the path had tur

“Mother,” my voice came out as a trembling whisper. She didn’t even turn to look at me; her gaze fixed on the scene out of the window. My heart pounded against my ribs as I waited patiently for her to turn around and look at me.In the past, if I was patient enough, she would forsake her anger and talk to me again. But, not today. Today, she remained seated like a statue; ignoring my presence. I knew it was my fault but her indifference hurt deeper than her scolding. If she punished me; this intense guilt that was gnawing at my insides would probably fade.Rubbing my clammy palms on my trousers, I tried again, “Mother, are you alright?”Zap! I was hit with a strong surge of energy. I staggered with the impact and a gasp left my lips. Holding the pillar for support, I said in a pleading voice, “You have to give me a chance to explain, mother…. I didn’t do anything deliberately.”With a swoosh of her hand, she

Ora’s POVI paced up and down the grassy meadow with restless anticipation. If Sandy had gotten the message, he should have been here by now. Did he see through my plan? Or did he just decide not to come? Hundreds of questions swirled in my mind as I continued to wear the ground. What would I do if he didn’t turn up? What will I say to Grand Magus?A frustrated grunt escaped my lips and I smacked my palm. Now that he was back with his friends and family, he probably didn’t care about me or my message. It was funny how this thought made my heart twist when all I wanted to do was make him pay for betraying me. I snorted and shook off any sense of attachment I felt for him.“Ora, is everything alright?” The moment I heard his voice, I spun around in delight. My lips lifted in an automatic smile and I took a step towards him. His beard had grown into a soft stubble and his eyes looked weary. But, he was as handsome as ever, and more alluring
