“That can’t be!” Samantha whispered “I’m sure it’s only a coincidence.” Raymond replied. “Only a coincidence? You just heard her say this person is the one responsible for the wards. How can it be a mere coincidence?” Samantha asked Ross and Fay exchanged confused look. “What are you both talking about?” Ross asked “The High warlock name is Isabella.” Samantha revealed Ross raised his brow in question, “I could have sworn it is Valentine.” He joked. “No time for jokes. Ross this is not the time for jokes.” Raymond scolded Ross raised his hands playfully to signify surrender, “Fine. Raymond why is this a coincidence and Samantha why do you think it’s not?” Ross asked. “Isabella was killed by Valentine the same day she gave birth to her baby. My mother was there, she saw her create a portal and send her parrabutai to another realm with her baby. My mother was her handmaiden at the time and fled just when Valentine drove his dagger into Isabella’s chest.l, But Isabella is the tr

When valentine walked into the bathroom he just wanted to make sure it was Fay there and not a spy. But when he walked in and saw how she earnestly leathered soap on her pale skin he stared. He couldn’t help it. She was a few feet away in the bath tub. Her head up, slightly tilted as she washed her neck. Her hair was as dark as the raven kneaded together in their wet nature. The hair around her face was in disarray and flowed beyond her shoulders. The mixture of soap and water flowed through her body giving it a good contrast. He was used to his women fragile and always ready to please him. But this woman was not fragile neither was she ready to please him at all time. The way she acts with him gave him the sense of loss of control and power. He had no control over her in the bedroom. Though she was small he got the impression that she wouldn’t relent. Perhaps it was her face with its full, unpainted mouth and high, slashing cheekbones. Her eyes were almost as dark as her hair, he

The day went by in slow motion almost too painful for Audrey. She waited till Alex told her it was time. They both walked into the woods. As they walked through the woods, Audrey felt a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. When they arrived at the meeting spot, she saw Anna standing with just one guard. Audrey was surprised, she would have expected Anna to come here with a dozen guards and foot soldiers, but she was glad she wouldn't have much obstacles. Anna seemed equally taken aback. "What is she doing here?" Anna asked Alex, her eyes narrowing. "Don't worry, Anna. Audrey means no harm," Alex reassured her. "She just wants to talk." Audrey swallowed the curse that was in her lips. She needs to play this cool. She forced a smile on her face. The pressure on her sleeves reminded her of the dagger hidden there. "Hi Anna. You do not look to happy to see me." She stated. "I don't see why I should. I also do not see why you would ask to see me." Anna responded. Audrey took a s

Eugenia explained, "It's rare, but it has been documented in history. There are some legends that suggest that the union of a werewolf and a warlock can result in a child that has both sets of powers." Audrey was trying to process this new information. The idea that she could be so powerful was both exhilarating and terrifying. She didn't know how to feel about it. Hercules put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Whatever happens, we're here for you. We'll help you figure this out together." ====== The following morning Hercules sat outside watching as Audrey practiced. he watched how she swerved her sword with ease and hit at her opponent; a stack of hay severally with the sword. He noticed her attacking without calculating which made the sword fall from her hands. As she picked up her sword, Hercules watched her with concern. He could sense her frustration and confusion. He walked up to her and said, "Audrey, you don't have to figure everything out right now. Just focus on wha

The group gasped in shock, and Samantha spoke up, "Isabella? The real warlock? How is that possible?" Fay nodded, "Yes, it's true. Valentine has had her locked up for years. I finally saw Sarah. She overheard the Valentine's discussion about Isabella and was made to server her in the dungeon. The group grew more curious, and Ross asked, "Do you know why he's keeping her there?" Fay hesitated for a moment before answering, "I don't know for sure, but from what I gathered, Isabella is responsible for the wards that was lifted all these years. She did die but her parrabutai exchanged her life with hers. Out of rage Isabella wanted to kill Valentine but was overpowered and thrown into the dungeon." The group was silent for a moment, processing the information. Then Raymond spoke up, "This changes everything. We need to find a way to get her out of there." Fay nodded in agreement, "I was thinking the same thing. We need to come up with a plan." The group began to brainstorm, and Euge
