*Alyssa*"I know the consequences of being one with magic blood and I know how to tame it. I know it's weakness and it's strength Alyssa so you need not worry but in doing so, I must leave Alyssa. I am not meant to exist in this space-time. My stubbornness and will for love brought me here, but now I must return to the moon goddess. She has finally called me. I guess it's time for my redemption."I felt hot wet salty tears trickle down my cheeks as I studded towards Athena. I stood before her feeling overwhelmed with emotions, even though I knew she was just a part of my soul split in two, I had already begun seeing her in the same light as I once saw Jenny. My big sister. I clung tighter onto Athena, pleading desperately, "No! Please, Athena, don't leave me! I know we hadn't known each other for long but I think I've grown quite attached to you these couple of days Athena. Please, we'll find a way to get rid of the magic blood and you seem to be doing fine containing it at the moment

*Rurac* .I leaned forward, a mischievous glint in my eyes. "But you're so adorable when you eat," I teased. "I can't help but watch."Her playful demeanor faded, replaced by a hint of annoyance. "Seriously, Rurac, it's embarrassing. I'm trying to eat here."Unable to resist, her upset but cute face, the side of my lips pulled up into a challenging smirk. "Oh, you're going to stop eating? Is that a threat?"Alyssa narrowed her eyes, feigning determination. "I will. Don't test me." I laughed, my insides out. "Fine, fine. I'll stop. But only because I don't want to deprive you of your delicious meal."As I shifted my attention away from her, my phone buzzed, interrupting the peaceful moment. I retrieved it from my pocket and glanced at the screen. I had gotten a text from my Beta, Ethan. The words that stared back at me gave me a sense of satisfaction but anger remained."ALPHA RURAC, THE WITCHES HAVE FOUND RONA AND SHE IS BEING KEPT IN THEIR DETENTION CELL. HER MOTHER, THE LEADER OF T

*Alyssa*I woke up the next morning to an empty bed, the steady rhythm of Rurac's heartbeat no longer whispering comfort into my ears. I blinked my eyes open, glancing at the space next to me. The sheets were cold, signaling that he had been gone for a while now. A sigh escaped my lips as I stretched, shaking off the remnants of sleep.I stood up from the bed and approached the room door when I suddenly realized something, I glanced down at myself to find that I was wearing Rurac's transparent white T-shirt and suddenly remembered Dimitri was also home. Memories of the day before flooded in and I couldn't help but chuckle loudly.Early yesterday, a similar scenario had almost happened. Without thinking, I had approached the door while in my towel all because of my hunger for the delicious cheesy taste of pizza, but luckily Rurac had grabbed my arm on time stopping me from putting myself in an embarrassing situation. "Alyssa," he said, his voice low and serious. "You're still in a towe

*Alyssa*I stepped into Rurac's car without sparing him a glance. Not that he deserved any less tho. I kept my face void of any emotion as he held the door open for me. As I settled into the passenger seat, I looked straight ahead, my eyes fixed on the drive-through. I could feel his presence beside me, but I refused to act like he even existed. I felt a bit bad for a few seconds then I reasoned out with myself that he had done the same thing with me and didn't even feel bad about it, he tried to brush with it.Rurac entered the car, but instead of starting the engine, he remained still. I wondered why he was doing this now, Is he lost in thoughts again? The silence stretched on between us, and I tried to maintain my cool and stand my ground unwilling to let my resolve waver, waiting patiently for him to finally start the car. But minutes passed, and he didn't budge. Frustration welled up inside me, he must be doing this on purpose, he knows just how far The New Dawn pack is from The

*Alyssa*As we settled in, sipping our juice and nibbling on the snacks, the tension began to dissipate. Jenny who was sitting elegantly as usual, settled back next to our mother, her eyes flitting back and forth between Rurac and me. It seems she has no idea that I am mated yet. What would she think when I tell her my mate here is Rurac? A frown creased her brow, the signs of her confusion clear on her face. I watched her gaze land on our entwined hands and the looks we exchanged and she seemed uncomfortable by how close we sat next to each other. Her gaze finally rested on Rurac, clearly puzzled."Can I speak with Alyssa privately?" she finally asked, her voice filled with a hint of urgency while her gaze never left Rurac's. Our parents nodded with a smile, understanding that we had been away for a while, and as sisters, we needed a moment to catch up on what we missed in each other's lives.Jenny led me to a quieter corner of the room, away from the prying eyes and ears of our pare
