Chapter 142- Lawler POV           “We are going through their camp?” Theo asks, mortified from behind us. “We are. Stay calm; I will explain later.” I whisper. Placing Elnora on her feet, I hold her hand steady as we walk. She is in no way wearing shoes for dirt. “Don’t let me fall, please.” She whispers as we get to the opening. “I won’t,” I confirm.          I do not want to admit that I am nervous, but I am. Taking careful steps forward into the clearing, I can hear rustling in the tree lines. “We do not want to surprise you; you know we are here, and we would like to show ourselves to you. May we stay at the tree line?” He asks happily. “Of course.” I smile back in the direction his voice has come from.          We can hear the

Chapter 144- Elnora POV          The second we hit the pier, Harmony was linking to me. “We are at the cabin.” “That didn’t take you long to get there. How does everything look?” I ask as I move in and out of the conversation with Lawler and the townspeople. “Not looking good. This spell is strong, and we have a few witches here willing to help if you will allow them an audience once we get them free.” “They may have an audience with me in our Kingdom, the Human world, anywhere but here,” I state. “They will accept within our Kingdom. I will get their contact information for you.” “No, give them mine. They need to know that I am serious and have a way to contact me to arrange a meeting.” “Are you sure? This is not something that our Queens would ever do.” “I am sure; just make sure everyone is safe and keep me posted.” I request.

Chapter 146- Lawler POV          “Hey everyone, is everything ok?” I ask them as they retreat into the shadows of the trees, leaving only Buddy front and center. “You were gone for a long time.” His face looks pained as he speaks to me. “We couldn’t have been gone for that long.” I see it is still as dark as when we left and could have only been gone for an hour. “You have been gone all day, sir; we were about to send our people in after you. Leon just arrived.” He motions over to Leon and a confused Keith as they approach us. “All day?” I ask, looking over to Elnora, who shrugs her shoulders.          Leon runs the final distance between us and wraps his arms around the pair of us in a tight hug. “I was so worried.” He sobs into our shoulders. “Leon, what time is it?” I ask. “It is 6

Chapter 148- Lawler POV          Walking into my bedroom, I find Elnora still awake and watching a movie. "You look perplexed. Is everything alright?" She asks as she sits up in bed to gauge my reaction better. "Umm, yeah. Everything is alright. I just." I do not know if I should tell her what Fulton just asked of me or not. Looking into her eyes, I know I cannot keep this from her; I need to tell her the truth no matter what it is.          "I sit on the edge of the bed and sigh. "Promise me that you will not say anything." I begin. "Depends on what it is." She asks, more worried as she slides across the bed to be closer to me. "So, Fulton called out to me when I was with Sabastian, and I went to his aid immediately.” "Is he ok?" She panics. "He is perfectly fine. He needed help with something." I assure her before I continue. "Oh, thank the heavens. I couldn't bear anyth

Chapter 150- Elnora POV            At 9:45, Lawler, the boys, and I begin making our way down to the beach for our meeting. We aren’t surprised when we see half of the town and the witches have shown up before we do. “Queen Elnora,” Leon calls me softly as he makes his way over to me. “Good morning, Leon; how are you doing this morning?” I ask him. “I am doing wonderfully; how are you doing?” “I am doing quite well. Many things to be happy for today.” “I would agree.” He admits. “This may be out of line, but I have something for you.” A look passes between him and Lawler as he hands me a red sparkling tissue paper-covered gift with a smile. “This is for me?” I question as the weight of it hits my hand. “It is. Open it.” He urges me.          Without hes
