Semua Bab Bound By Love And Prophecy : Bab 81 - Bab 90

Jessica's POVMy mind raced as so many thoughts flew into my mind —thoughts of what might have been done to make her this way.The more they came, the angrier I got.But no one was saying anything to me.Then Alfred's head tilted to Violet. "Do it," He commanded.Violet stayed hesitant, her eyes on me. "Are you going to let us go?"He let out a low chuckle. "You don't seem to understand the predicament you are in, do you?" He said, his voice masked with both fear and excitement. "You don't have a choice, witch. You either let her kill all of us, or you try to save yourself, and my people surrounding this vicinity kill you, or you do as I say and get to see your precious Vampire King again. I'm sure you know which of them benefits you the most."Without saying anything, Violet mumbled some words under her breath, her runes glowing.Suddenly, a sharp pain cut through me, spreading throughout my body.A shriek ripped from my mouth.It took me collapsing to the ground —the chains around m

Jessica's POVA soft rustling of leaves stirred me awake.The ground beneath me was cold and damp, the scent of pine and earth thick in the air.My head pounded, and every muscle in my body ached — like I had been crushed under a thousand stones.I blinked against the early morning light streaming through the towering trees, my vision blurry but slowly sharpening.The last thing I remembered was Annie’s pulse beneath my claws, the scent that overtook me, and then the gas — thick and suffocating — filling the room.And then… nothing.“Good. You’re awake,” a familiar voice muttered.I flinched, my instincts screaming at me to move, but a firm hand pressed down on my shoulder, keeping me from bolting.“Relax, Jessica. If I wanted you dead, you wouldn’t have woken up at all,” Eric said, crouching beside me, his blonde hair ruffled and his shirt torn at the sleeve.But I pushed his arm away. "Like hell, I'm going to bye that! After all the things your Dad did!"I stood up immediately, and

Jessica's POV"Jake!" Eric Groaned."What?" Jake grinned. "I’m just saying — it's better for her to stick with us than wander off alone."Despite myself, I felt a flicker of amusement. They weren’t exactly welcoming, but they weren’t as stiff and cold as I first thought.Evelyn adjusted her bag again. "We’re here to help, Jessica. Like it or not."I met her gaze for a long moment before finally — reluctantly — uncrossing my arms."Fine," I muttered. "Let’s just get moving."Eric’s smirk was back, but he didn’t say anything this time.The forest seemed darker than I remembered.The trees loomed high above us, their gnarled branches reaching out like skeletal fingers.Shadows stretched long and thin across the narrow path, twisting with every flicker of wind.Somewhere in the distance, a raven cawed, its echo slicing through the silence.I walked near the back of the group, keeping a deliberate distance from Eric and his companions.My thoughts were a tangled mess — Scarlet, the prophec

Jessica's POVI didn’t speak. I didn’t know what to say.Her voice cracked — slightly. "We didn’t know why they attacked. They came at dusk — an entire pack. We tried to fight back, but our magic…" She swallowed hard. "It was gone. Spells fizzled out of our fingertips like smoke. The elders — the same ones who could bend fire and summon storms — were left defenseless."My heart pounded. "What happened?"Evelyn's eyes darkened. "They killed everyone. Tore through the village like it was nothing. I was a child — I didn’t understand why the magic wasn’t working. I hid under a cart while the wolves ripped through the elders like they were made of paper. The trees — the same ones that once shielded us — did nothing. The rivers stopped glowing. It was like Mother Nature herself had abandoned us."The hair on my arms rose.Eric’s jaw was tight, his silence heavier than the night closing in around us.And suddenly, the air felt colder.I couldn’t shake the image from my mind — a land so conne

Jessica's POV“Jessica!” Someone screamed.Eric was beside me in an instant, his sword glowing with a faint silver light.He swung at the wraith, the blade passing through it — not solid enough to kill it, but enough to make it recoil with a shriek."What the..." My voice faded.I was stunned.This was bad. The sword didn't cause much damage to it like before.Jake and Chris fought back-to-back, Chris’s blade cutting through the air while Jake hurled daggers made of pure silver. They didn’t kill the wraiths, but they slowed them down, making them dissolve into mist before reforming again.“They don’t die!” Jake shouted. “Why?”“Because these are souls bound by blood magic!” Evelyn yelled, her hands glowing even brighter. “We have to break the magic holding them here — or they’ll just keep coming!”My eyes shut to her.That was new information.How did she know?One wraith darted toward her, but before it could reach her, Evelyn threw out a bolt of blue light.It struck the creature, m
