Arita’s POV“My name is Nyx,” the oldest among them said, stepping forward with so much worry written all over her face. “It is a great pleasure to serve you along with the others.”“You all helping will really go a long way as I do not know much about our world.”“Yes, Princess.”“Why are you all here?” I inquired. “The last I remember is that, the witches have been hiding for years.”“You are right, Princess. We were all forced to leave our abode. Morgana disobeyed the witches rule and used black magic. She flew to the human world.”A loud gasp spread through the crowd like wildfire burning through a field at the mention of her name.“When she returned days back, she came with a power brighter than she could control. Not only did she come to show off, she struck down every witch that tried to stop her and created chaos in our home.”My fists tightened.“Where is she now?” I inquired.“Back at home, where she is trying every means to touch the ancient spell book. She really cannot

Arita’s POV“It’s all over,” I whispered.Silence.Everyone was still. Realization drowned on all that we are doomed.The room that had once echoed with loud sounds, chants, roars, and the sound of skin had fallen into a suffocating silence.My body remained on the floor, refusing to move, my eyes staring at the same place the portal had disappeared before our very eyes.“You are a failure,” a voice kept ringing in my mind every passing minute.There was nothing left to protect. The book is gone, my powers gone, and even the protectors have all passed into a deep slumber.The voice kept getting louder and louder, almost making me go insane.My mind thought of the only thing left to do.Escape.Running away from it, from my failure, from this role, from the voice that would not let me be.I flew through the nearest exit, my legs racing through the dead plants and dry land.I ran and ran.Blood pumped through my heart so hard that I could hear the sound of it.I only stopped when I was

Arita’s POV“No…” I said, my voice barely audible as I staggered my way from one room to another.I met nothing except the little boys that had hidden themselves under the bed.Poor things. They must have been scared of everything happening around them.“It’s all right now. You can come out,” I said softly, my hands signaling them to come forward.The oldest among the boys looked at me, his eyes filled with so much doubt and fear.For a moment, I thought he was going to trust me. But little did I know my entrance had frightened them even more.The oldest crawled further into the darkness beneath the bed, making the others all follow his lead.The little sobs thundered later, more like disturbing nags with shaking voices.For a second, I wanted to pull up the bed, draw them out, hug them, and assure them they were safe now, that all was fine.“Let’s pull the bed up and help them out,” Zach said, his voice thundering from behind as if he had read my thought.I stared at him, then at Kin

Arita POVThe meeting with the werewolf council took longer than I thought. The elders at first weren’t ready to join hands with the witches.They went on bickering about old grudges, misunderstandings, and the wars that had happened centuries back. At some point, the meeting changed from a normal chat to loud noise. Everyone was speaking in capital letters, not giving room for one another.“Can everyone just keep calm?” Monvane thundered. Apparently, he had used his werewolf Alpha ability, making the elders quiet at once, except for the witches who kept talking as the Alpha power didn’t get to them.Monvane looked at me, a look that meant I should talk to my people as he had done to his.I let out a long sigh before stepping forward to the center of the room. My eyes roamed over the elders who were now as quiet as a graveyard. Anyone seeing them right now would think they were entirely different from the witches.My eyes shifted to my kind, Nyx and the other witches, as they murmured

Arita POVFor hours, I just sat there in pain, just staring at the body that lay on the floor.Zack already fled away and was probably already hurting more humans and the supernaturals. The alphas and vampire lords who were supposed to protect their kinds were all lying lifeless.Morgana finally stood up from where she had sat, her fingers cleaning the tears that had stained her cheeks. Her steps thundered where I sat among the bodies, with her eyes so red one could tell she had genuinely cried.For the first time since all this started, I saw the Morgana I first knew. The very girl that had been my friend in night school. The one who had got my back during all the high school chaos. I saw remorsefulness.It’s so obvious she felt bad for what had happened. Felt bad for stealing my powers and using me as a sacrificial lamb for her lover to be awakened again.I wanted to badly hug her and whisper into her ears that all will be fine, but I just couldn’t stand up where I sat. The heavines
