Ramona was startled and flew downward. As a piercing golden glow engulfed her, she abruptly changed into her human form and landed firmly on her feet. The earth beneath her feet cracked and the strong impact blasted the mist making it dissolve.Ramona panickedly peered about. There was no sign of the mages, nor... "Angelo!"Her breath was short as her eyes scanned the area around her. She had her powers locked up for a long period, so it took a lot of time and effort for her to fully unleash them. She was unable to join the fight earlier because of this.She was instantly terrified by Angelo's startling cry, and she knew she had to use force to unleash her powers.She put her hand on her chest and started to stroll around, still gazing around. Her body jerkily tingled as she spat forth blood. Consequences of attempting to force her powers.She resolved to make use of herself before her body gave out on her, coughing again. She still had a familiar, strong magic sense and could still d

"I told you that I wanted a gun." Ramona mumbled, glancing at Caspian, who was paying close attention to her."Once you finish eating, you'll get it." He said, gazing at her as if he were about to chastise her for refusing to eat.Ramona forced a grin as she began to consume the scrambled eggs that were provided for her breakfast. Caspian was acting more protectively the following day because he had really awakened her and chosen to give her a bath."Are you concerned for Angelo?" Ramona slowly questioned, hoping to elicit a response that would lead to rescue Angelo."I am. He is in the hands of a mage who wants to kill me." Caspian murmured indifferently and sighed. "Eat Ramona."Ramona dropped the spoon. "I'm not hungry."Caspian narrowed his eyes. "And why are you not?""Because you keep staring and I can't read your mind.""You can't read my mind but you know how worried I am about you and how I am highly against your thought of wanting to save Angelo alone.""She raised me, she wo

Ramona took a deep breath and focused on her fingertips, which were glowing golden. Her mind strayed to the possibility that her siblings were still alive, and a faint grin formed on her lips. She found it incredible that she had no recollections of them, not even their faces, but she was aware of her status as the youngest kid.She planned to approach Nessa in an hour when the moon was visible. She was going to learn the reality. Truth of everything.However, was it really going to be so simple?Why did Nessa initially choose to abduct Angelo?Deeply sighing, Ramona entered the room again and headed for the drawer. "I'm not doing this." She mumbled before opening the drawing and removing the bottle of poison."I'd rather not." Taking a deep breath, she added and put it in the pocket of her large coat.Sensing a familiar energy at the balcony, she returned and cast a wary glance in Declan's direction as he was now perched on the railing."Are you really going to save the brother of th

Caspian sighed heavily as he entered the chamber where Angelo had been deposited and was little alarmed to discover him unresponsive.The healers he had called in entered the space, bowed respectfully, and then headed toward Angelo's bed to perform tests on him."Justice." When Caspian called, his dear friend gave him a somewhat strained look. "Justice, he'll be fine."Justice sighed and escorted Caspian out of the room. "He lost too much blood."Caspian stated, "Ramona believes the old mage drained his blood.""Drained his blood?" Justice muttered, clenching his fist and asking. "We must take action to eliminate that mage.""What we need to learn is why she needs his blood. It appears that she kidnapped him for the same reason." Caspian mumbled and sighed heavily. "However, I do not believe she will pursue him any time soon." "Don't you consider this to be a significant matter?" Justice enquired inquisitively before sighing. "I won't survive if I have the injuries he sustained.""Th

Looking at his pocket watch, Tommaso frowned slightly. "The car has been out there for hours. Why aren't they coming out?" He grumbled, taking a sip of his calming chamomile tea.Everything that happened in Dalerie, he was always aware of it. After all, he was once the Alpha king of Dalerie. Ramona's decision to go ahead and save Angelo on her own worried him a little, but he was happy that she had returned alive and unscathed. He had no idea what it would be like for Caspian to lose his mate. No one should have had to go through that pain, but he had, and even after all these years, he still hadn't fully recovered."Can you go and check the car? It has been immobile for hours." Tommaso asked his bodyguard who stood next to the entrance with a stern expression."Yes sire." The bodyguard bowed and turned to leave but suddenly, the door opened revealing Caspian and Ramona."How long does it take two shifters to walk out of a car?!" Tommaso snapped, flinging his cane at Caspian who caugh
