Semua Bab Betrayal, Love and Revenge: Bab 51 - Bab 60

ASPEN VESPER“Dark magic has never had a place in this land, Raven,” Aspen said in response to the trash the woman had just uttered. “There is a reason why most forms of magic are not explored anymore. And that is because they could be gateways to the world of Dark Magic that ruined this land in the past.”“That’s what idiots say. I once ruled this damned land, and I am saying that Dark Magic is the order I want to work with. Everyone will breathe, live and dine with Dark Magic till they die.” Raven grinned after an exhale of satisfaction. “That’s how it’s going to be.”Aspen sighed again. “I can’t believe this shit. I came here to make sure Kailin will be fine. I didn’t ask to get the revelation of the century that still doesn’t make a damn sense.”“I-”“I will take my leave. Let me know when Kailin wakes up.”“Are y

ASPEN VESPER“Represent?” Aspen queried. At the same time, her heart tugged with the slight expectation that Kailin was going to join them soon. Maybe not at that hour, but soon. “Have you been able to communicate with Kailin?”“Unfortunately,” he replied, “no. I am here because Lycan Kailin told me to step in and execute our backup plan in case something happened to him.”“A backup plan.” Aspen glanced at Ezra. “You were aware of this, weren't you?”“Lycan Kailin wanted to keep you out of it.”She scoffed. “It's typical of him, isn't it? He loves keeping me out of things.”“Aspen,” Rolis moved closer, “Kailin just wants to protect you.”“He should protect himself instead. I can handle myself.” She crossed her arms and quickly deviated from the topic before her heart could feel any worse. “So, tell

ASPEN VESPER“Oh!” Aspen exclaimed when no one else in the room replied to the nonsense Lance had just uttered. “You are still talking to me?”“Is your name not Aspen anymore?” He eyed her. “You heard what I said.”“You must be high on something,” she replied with a chuckle. “If not, you’d not be saying nonsense. What the heck do you mean by the seal is with me? And, which gift are you talking about?”“The Lycan Queen said you’d deny it. I should have knocked you unconscious and dragged you out when I had the chance.”“That’s why you came here? To kidnap me so that you can drill me about things I have no clue about?”“Aspen,” his face reddened, he could not hide his pain anymore, “I see you still don’t remember.”As she folded her arms, she contemplated walking to the Alpha and knocking his st

KAILIN BLACKWOODKailin glanced to the side and saw that it was nighttime. Then, he faced Raven again and asked, “What grave?”“Not what. Whose. Whose grave?”Though Raven’s words were already laying bitterness in his soul, he ignored that feeling and almost laughed. “Are you seriously suggesting that Aspen is dead?”“Suggesting?” Her laughter worsened. “Have you always been this funny, Lycan Kailin? What do you mean by suggesting? I am not suggesting anything. I am telling you that Aspen is dead.”Kailin stopped his soul from crumbling. He gripped his bedsheet as firmly as possible and stared into the woman’s eyes. “Who killed her?”“Who else?” She rushed to him and sat on the little space left on the bed. Her eyes twinkled with pride as she said, “Me, Kailin. I killed her.”“You are joking,” he whispered as his rea

STILL TWO MONTHS AGO…ASPEN VESPERAspen could tell that Raven wasn’t bluffing. The woman would watch her get devoured and make her dead body do unspeakable things.“Raven…”“Don’t beg me if that’s what you are about to do,” she said. “You are helpless, and unless you tell me what I wish to know, you will face the fate I am about to unleash on you.” Her body leaned closer. “The fate of damnation by cruel death.”“Raven…” Aspen found a way to exhale before the fear in her heart could eat her up. “Okay, listen. I am not lying about the seal. I don’t know where it is. If I really have it, I can’t remember anything.”“That gibberish is not helping you. Time is running out, and those walls will soon start to crumble.” Raven’s words were filled with a gloating tone that told Aspen how much the woman was enjoying seeing her in that situation. If Aspen was not trying to find a path of survival, she would have sneered at the woman and searched for a
