Alice sat in the garden of the pack staring at little children who were playing across the fence. Their giggles were infectious, and it made a bright smile appear on her lovely face.A deep sigh escaped her mouth some minutes later. Her thoughts wandered back to what was troubling her heart. She was so deep in thought that she didn’t even hear Kace’s footsteps approaching.“Alice,” He called out to her but didn’t get any response. She was still oblivious of his presence. “Alice!” He called her name again, but a little loudly this time, and she finally snapped out of her daze.“What are you thinking so deeply about? You didn’t even hear me calling,” Kace asked with curiosity etched on his face. “Sorry,” she responded, and a slight smile appeared on her face. Alice looked behind Kace to see if Devon was around too, but he was all alone. That made her feel sad and a little disappointed.. She had hardly seen Devon through the past few days. She couldn’t help but miss his presence.Alice

Alice tried multiple times to leave the lake, but it was all to no avail. She got pushed back each time. How was she going to get back into her body? She knew how worried Devon could get. After trying multiple times again Alice gave up and walked towards the bench she sat down hoping that something like a miracle would happen.She was also hoping she would use this opportunity to see Joan again so she could ask her many important questions. The night was getting colder as the cool breeze of the evening gushed towards the leaves of the trees. A woman with silver hair walked slowly toward oblivious Alice. She was dressed in a completely white flowing dress from head to toe, and her neck was adorned with silver beautiful jewelry. "Alice" She called out to the young girl softly. Her voice was like that of the night wind, peaceful, without no malice. Alice turned around abruptly out of fear to see the same silver-haired woman walking or rather flowing towards her. She stood up hurriedly

"Devon…" Alice called him softly, his name grazed her lips with longing. , she wanted to run toward him and flung her arms around his neck.Devon kept his eyes on her and a disturbingly eerie feeling crept in the air as Alice's heart refused to feel anything but scare."Devon''Alice called out Devon softly again but got a growl as a reply instead. His mind was in complete chaos. What had happened all of a sudden?. He even slept on the same bed with her, but never had be once lost complete control of his wolf. "Don't come any closer!" He growled, trying to warn Alice, who was stepping forward and closer to him slowlyThis sudden outburst startled Alice and made her take a step back unconsciously, yet this little action was regarded with another snarl as loud as the first one. His wolf wanted her to come closer and not back away.Alice couldn't figure out why Devon suddenly gave her that reaction or what he wanted. She didn't understand that Devon was going crazy as she walked closer t

If Devon continued to lash out his emotion toward Diana now, he would lose Alice in the process and it wasn't something worth risking. There was still time to save her, if only he would let go of the tight grip on her neck.With a brief glance of the pool of blood on the ground, Devon released Diana's precious neck from his deadly grip."Something happens to her and you will suffer fate worse than death." Devon stated grimly.The only reason Devon Diana linger around after what she did and said, was because her life still has value for Alice.Diana rubbed her sore neck and cleared her dried throat while gasping for air, greedily breathing to fill her empty lungs.After she felt slightly better, Diana moved closer toward Alice in Devon's arms.The witch touched the wound and chanted in strange language, a spell. But, after a few seconds, her brows creased unsightly.Her eyes widened as they traced back to Devon's eyes which were still completely rex, horror filled them. "oh no, You al

"I first noticed a wound on your right hand, the day when Alice passed out at the lake. It was an odd one, and since you are from the royal family I thought it couldn't be silver. It had to be something more, I suspected it to be wild sprout, but it was hard to come by in the human world. Which only left the option of wolfbane. I should have taken it more seriously and done something in time. This wouldn't have happened" Diana blurted out everything.The witch thought the Lycan would at least roar or tried to strangle her to death because of what she did, but to her surprise, Devon only glared at her before he resumed staring worriedly at his mate.At least, if he was about to go berserk, Diana would help him to let out some steam. She preferred the angry Devon rather than this kind of Devon, who was staring blankly and lifelessly at his mate, as if his spirit had evaporated into thin air.Devon didn't know how to respond to that information, as he remained silent as though he heard no
