“Grandma, are you okay?” Lily inquired, noticing the flash of sadness that had crossed Zipfarah’s face. Since her grandmother's strange illness and more stranger, but welcomed healing, she had noticed that the woman’s gentle and calm face was sometimes preyed by flashes of longing and sometimes sadness. What could she be thinking about? Lily wondered, whilst waiting for a reply which she knew would be anything but the truth.“Of course dear. I am fine. Just tired.” Zipfarha replied, putting on a faux smile, a no surprise to Lily who just nodded, before resting her head on Damon’s shoulder. “I miss Prescott though. You should have sent me with them.” She cited, sighing tiredly at the end. Leila scoffed, not believing that her twin was really serious about leaving her here alone with her two brothers to travel out of the vicinity with Emma. Why? Had they been that close? But they had only known each other for less than a week!“So, are we going to let them be alone? Are you sending one

Claire tossed restlessly on her bed, her mind consumed with a lot of thoughts, her wolf in the same turmoil with her. She kept on wondering if rejecting her mate and waiting for Derek to recognise her was worth it. Her wolf thought that she was foolish for doing so, for rejecting her mate and waiting on someone else, and she was beginning to think so too. But her mother.. “Quit worrying about your mother and think for yourself. What do you want? Is your life pledged to your mother? The moon goddess has given me to you to serve you, not become your mother’s play toy. What do you want? Try removing your mother out of the equation.” Her wolf cited, grovelling in uncomfortability. The latter had become so cranky since Emma had thrown her right across the pack hall without blinking, without mercy. Claire still wondered how Emma had managed to do it. It was clear that the latter wasn’t a plain human. Something was at play. She had also overheard what had been going on whenever her twi

Curtis let out a deep breath as he climbed down from the high window which he had climbed earlier in order to see his mate, Claire, or rather instinctively watch her invisibility form move into her house. When he thought that he had seen enough bizarre things relating to Derek’s mate, his own turned out to have magic. Oh wow, what a twist. He thought, sliding down to the floor, the sleep totally gone from his eyes. He had been dozing off, when the scent had first wheeled past his nose. He had tried to ignore it thinking that perhaps his mind was playing tricks on him in his subconscious state, but the scent had stayed, and he had no choice but to get up and know what was really happening. When he opened his eyes and sat up on his bed, he had counted from one to twenty, and had counted his fingers, to be sure that he wasn’t still dreaming. The scent had stayed, and the time was just two a.m. What could she be doing outside at this moment. He had thought, getting out of the bed. He

Time - 6:40 am“We should have just taken up our mist forms instead of entering those junky cabs. They were so slow, and we know we would have gotten here faster than being constrained in that crappy machine.'' Kane grumbled, walking beside his brother, Dobah, and Blenda. “Quit grumbling Kane. We are here after all, aren’t we? Dobah queried. “Besides, don't you think it will attract a great deal of attention if we should just appear in front of the hotel?” “We don’t have to be in front of the hotel, Dobah. We can go behind and reemerge. No one would have known.” Kane pointed out, akin to aghast when Dobah shook his head. “You don’t know that. This age is different from the centuries we have spent in different countries. I keep telling you this but you seem too reluctant to accept the harsh reality. For all we know, one of these teenagers might be with a phone doing some video or trying to sneak up on hoteliers. Someone could be making out or smoking at the back. Anything could hap

“Derek, do you have any idea where Leo is?” Maya asked Derek immediately he stepped into the large family sitting room. She was sitting beside Curtis on the longest sofa in the room. “We have not seen him since yesterday night. Did you send him on an errand or something?” she questioned, her eyebrows furrowing in slight worry when she saw the unsure gazes that were exchanged between Derek and Anthony. “Guys, what is going on?” That was Curtis. He had noticed the movements too and was beginning to believe that something was wrong. Something that obviously involved Leo. “Well…'' Derek started, wishing his mother had followed him here to do the explanations he wasn’t sure how to go about. She had taken a detour to Eva’s room to see how the latter was doing. Maya grabbed her thigh tight, unable to stop herself, hoping that whatever news that Derek was about to break didn’t go in the lines of ‘I’m sorry, but Leo is dead, or kidnapped…’“Leo isn’t around.” Derek finally said, shrugging
