Chapter 51
Southern part of the mountain, near the Devil's Forest.On their journey, Alpha Henry found something that had torn his alpha senses off. He turned hard as he surveyed the landscape. “Eve, can you sense that?”Eve frowned at him. “Sense what? I don't—““There is something off here. It tingles my wolf. Worrying about him.”His face contorted; he focused, but not on work or anything else. It was controlled. Firmly controlled, and that was never a good thing. Because it meant he was itching to lose it.Still, for Eve, it did nothing to take away from his overall attractiveness. His shoulders seemed to shift slightly, but they remained strong. Powerful. Yet always subtle. Just like him... subtle.As Henry passed by, Eve smiled briefly. His eyes flicked towards her for a moment. In that one look, he pried into her, and then, just for a brief second, an honest smile played across his lips. But that was only a moment... and the hardness returned. "We should camp here, I suppose," said Henry,

“Eve, don't open your eyes,” Jenna shouted at the older woman. She hoped this assault wouldn't last long; it arrived in the form of an advancing surface of sand and debris, which may be miles wide and several thousand feet high. It blows with little warning, making venturing conditions hazardous. Blinding them, and the choking dust was reduced to their vision. Sandstorms last only a few minutes, but this was a different storm altogether. They could barely breathe, and they snuggled together. They prepared to die. But as suddenly as it began, the storm stopped. It crossed over them. They coughed, sputtered, and panned out the dust and dirt from their clothes. “Eve, are you okay?” She asked again as Eve looked around. “Shit!” Eve grumbled under her breath. The storm had not actually passed them by. It was now all around them. They stood on a swirling surface and circled the mayhem like an enormous corral."This is probably the eye of the storm," exclaimed Jenna. She had heard of such a

“Eve!” Henry shouted and ran towards the unconscious woman, "Eve?” he asked as he took her from the dirt, held her head and whispered her name, “Eve, can you hear me?” he could feel the sweat-drenched skin, the pulsing of his own eyes, and the ringing shrieks vibrating in his ears, and the thumping of his heart against his chest. He looked around nervously and searched for the witch. But it was as if he was alone and couldn't hear his abrupt own breathing, he could even feel the oxygen flooding in and out of his lungs. Hesitantly, his eyes looked at the dead creatures before him. Fear troubled his guts, churning his stomach into severe cramps as he stole a glimpse towards the young woman. "Jenna? Is that you? Help. I need help!" He trailed off and carried Eve. A few hours later, still holding Eve, Alpha Henry was still anxious that he was going to mess big time. Despite having given himself lots of time to think, after the horrible moment with the Sanjinn creature and his astonishment

“Edmond? It is me. Jenna."Edmond frowned.Jenna rolled her eyes and took off her head covering. “Who is that behind you?"pointing to the human behind him."Jenna, fancy meeting you here?”“Stop with the angry tone. I am here because I need help. Who is that?”“This is Raymond, my old comrade, a human messenger, but is that wolf behind you?" Edmond responded as Raymond came around, took Jenna’s hand, and kissed it. She was indeed a stunningly beautiful woman. No doubt that fact explained at least in part her popularity in the witches community. Her features were delicate and aristocratic, with striking green eyes and silken light auburn hair. Her lips were full and gave her mouth the appearance of a slight pout. Her petticoat hugged her delicate body perfectly. She was indeed royalty in the witches' congregation. Her posture says otherwise; she rather looks like a princess rather than a stowaway. “Nice meeting you, my lady," Raymond said, ignoring Edmond and Alpha Henry behind her.“A

Jenna’s eyes moistened with sadness as she heard about the alpha’s daughter being kidnapped by the ferals. Just like her, she knew about Elizabeth's love of a mature man; she heard news from time to time, and she thought she and the young Elizabeth weren't any different at all, but her life wasn't full of rainbows and sunshine even though she was a daughter of well-known ancestry.When Jenna turned eighteen, it was agreed upon by her parents that she should be tutored in the ways of witchcraft and werewolf politics by Lord Ernest, the eldest seer of their coven, better known by his title, Lord Ernest. She was the only daughter of her parents and the leader of their coven, and education was their main goal. To educate her about their kind and their attachment to the werewolves and the human politician.Eventually breaking free of her mother's authoritarian leverage, Jenna took satisfaction in the opportunity to spend some time with a man. Her crush. The fact that Lord Ernest was some t

From the other side of the mountain,Diana, Andrew, and the leader of the trolls arrived at the next clearing on the backside of the devil forest. Diana’s facial expression sank faster than a penny on a pond; her skin became icy and pale as white itself. Yes, she was worried. She was worried about Tommy and shocked at the same time at her fear earlier when Andrew was almost killed.And she thought, How could he smile as nothing happened? She was so anxious, and even deep pain unnerved her, and now, looking at the man winking at her like he knew exactly what she was thinking made it more embarrassing.You better stop smirking, Andrew, I am not happy! She said to herself mentally, knowing that her sire could hear her.Andrew faked a cough and winked back at her, which made her roll her eyes exaggeratedly.A few minutes later, the leader of the troll frowned and halted. “Sire, I think we can't go further.”Andrew nodded his head in agreement. “That's what I thought as well. We will wait

"No, they won't attempt that anymore; they owe us now. They are creatures of words. I mean, they owe you as much as all their entire family. They will lead us to Tommy's abductor,” Andrew said.“Are you sure?”“The feral was getting out of hand. There would be no compassion this time. We have to fight them according to their behaviour and such. But I need to rescue Tommy alone, Diana.”“Hell no!”“Without worrying about you, I have better chances of rescuing him on time.""Are you out of your mind? There is no way I'm letting you go out there alone, Andrew. The reason I'm here is to help you and to watch after you! You bloody know that!” She tried to shrug, tried to look confident, and tried to do anything other than stand like a statue. But her feet were stuck to the ground. She noticed the tiny furrow between his brows and the expression he made when he wasn’t pleased.And then she thought about how ridiculous it was that she knew his moods and expressions so well. It was foolhardy

With Jenna’s gaze at the beast, she explained further. The creature looked like a dark, scaly half-snake half-woman; it has scaly arms and red, fiery eyes. The Lamia Aegeus has been ascribed serpentine qualities. In ancient legend, Lamia Aegeus was a woman of fantastic beauty until a god cursed her. Her once-glamorous visage was twisted to horrific ugliness to fit her newfound craving for children's blood, but she more or less kept a human form. She was, however, renowned for wearing a skirt of snakeskin that covered her legs. It has a foul odour coming from its mouth, and it has been pointed out that its blood could alter such power to cloak and disguise someone's true visage. Once its blood enters someone's bloodstream, someone could conjure any image of their choosing.The offspring of the union between the sons of the serpent and the daughter of men were called Lamia. Lamia grew quickly in the womb and weakened the mother’s nutrition to a fatal level. Their incubation period was t

Feral CampDevil's ForestIn the depths of the devil's forest, in the small clearing stood a large but low, beetle-browed cabin. Its ancient and ramshackle walls stood in an almost unrecognizable way; it was a dirty, six-foot, artificial stern cabin.With a harsh kick to her right side, Elizabeth was startled awake from a restless sleep. She attempted to touch her hands over to assess the pain that was pouring its way up her stomach and was shortly reminded of the coarse rope constraining around her wrists. She struggled to pull against it, evaluating the knot, and was reminded of the severe anguish it left in its wake. Unexpectedly, an enormous hand was clutching her upper arm and grabbing her to her feet clumsily."You're coming with me, little wolf. We need our evening's entertainment." A frightening voice coming from the massive figure of what she could only speculate was a man hauling her out of the cells called out. These phrases imbued her with an apprehension that she had neve

Elizabeth's calm demeanour disappeared in that one second. The man examined her creased brow, and his lips twirled into what she anticipated to be a vicious grin. The crowd shouted and whooped, urging the quandary man on. He wriggled and propelled his way back down the path he came from."Bring her to my chamber!" He instructed, his powerful voice sounding in her ears.She thought, So this is what was to become of her? But his supposed to-be saviour looks rather familiar. His eyes were like Alpha Henry. Was she mistaken? She was to be ruined by a man after he rescued her from a horrendous crowd. What was stopping him from eliminating her after he finished with her? The suspicions flickered through her mind. She was oblivious, but David had pulled the ropes from her wrists and started to steer her after her rescuer. “Come!”Elizabeth strolled limply after, her feet tripping over every bump. David hauled her along more quickly than she could keep up. He halted at the entrance of the cab
