NOTHING ELSE MATTERED.

CHAPTER 141: NOTHING ELSE MATTERED.LIANA'S POV."What do you mean there's no record of such a case?" Mario asked, looking really furious. "I honestly don't know. I checked the cold cases dating back sixteen years, and I found nothing. I even checked the closed cases, and nada!" the officer said. I was so stunned that I couldn't even speak a word or react. "I checked the log entries, and name as Cypher and Grace Michaels popped up. It is as though the case literally never existed, nor did the incident ever happen," he added. "Hmm," Detective Mario sighed. "It's pretty fucked up and sure damn suspicious, if you ask me," the officer remarked. "Naturally, I'd conclude that no such case existed, but I remember that such an incident was all over the news when I was in high school."My eyes gleamed in hope when he said that. "So, I did a little digging to know who was the Chief of police at the time. Only he would have such authority to make such a case disappear," he said proudly."W

UNEXPECTED EMERGENCY.

CHAPTER 142: UNEXPECTED EMERGENCY.LIANA'S POV.The drive back from the former Chief of police's house was unusually quiet. Both of us were deeply shocked by the discovery we made. "I finally see why you've lost faith in the system you once represented and believed in. How could they have done such a thing?" I said, deeply pained and infuriated. I squeezed the steering wheel of the car so tightly that the leather material squished."He'd better turn himself in, lest he make matters worse for himself. Because I'd personally come for him, and if that time comes, we won't just be having a conversation," Mario said coldly, but also from a deep-seated point of anger and resentment."What are you going to do about the current Chief of police?" I asked. Mario paused, letting out a sigh with his face forward. "I finally understood why he was complacent about my partner's death. He'd been eating crumbs from the same table as the one who murdered him. The Chief, and the former Chief of police

HARDEST THING I'VE HAD TO DO.

CHAPTER 143: HARDEST THING I'VE HAD TO DO.LIANA'S POV. "Gran-gran? What about her? What happened?" I asked Annie. She was looking frantic, jittery. I had never seen her this terrified before. Trevor was already up and had walked up to us the moment Annie gave the impression that there was a problem. "I— I got a call from Gran-gran. I was a bit hesitant to answer the call, but when I did, Gran-gran yelled, "Run!" Then I— I heard the sound of the phone clattering on the ground. The call abruptly ended at that moment," Annie began, speaking quickly as she usually did whenever she was nervous. "I— I tried calling back, but her line wasn't reachable! I tried a couple of times before it finally went through. Then on the other end of the call, I could hear her struggling, yelling that they let go of her!" "What?" My eyes widened, and I got infuriated. "After that, all I could hear were muffled sounds from her. Then someone spoke to me through her phone, saying that if I wanted to see

NOT ALONE.

CHAPTER 144: NOT ALONE.TREVOR'S POV.Honestly, I felt sad watching Annie set off, heading into the unknown. I had just known her for a short while, but I could tell she was a good person. Being a good friend to Liana also further showed how good a person she was."She'll be fine. Fret not. She'll be fine," I said to Liana. Our faces were still forward, even though the car had gone out of our sight. We then turned and headed back in, Boraz walking along with us. I took Liana to her room, noticing her demeanor at the moment. I understood to some extent what she was feeling. As we got to her door, I turned to Boraz and nodded. He understood that I dismissed him. He nodded in acknowledgment and walked away, while I followed Liana into her room. I didn't want her to be alone at a time like this. "It looks different," I said, looking around. "What looks different?" she asked. "Your room," I replied. "It looks pretty much the same to me," she responded. "It looks different to you beca

WHERE I BELONG.

CHAPTER 145: WHERE I BELONG.LIANA'S POV. Gradually, I woke up from my slumber. The last thing I remembered was that I lay on Trevor's chest. I didn't know when I fell asleep, lying on him. I woke up refreshed. I had not felt this relaxed in a long while. My body truly needed the release. Smiling, I turned to the other side of the bed, excited to see Trevor. But I met an empty bed. I furrowed my brow, feeling a bit disappointed. I wondered where he had gone off to. "I wonder what the time is," I said as I looked around for my phone. I found it on the bedside table. I honestly couldn't recall how it got there. I was just glad that it was close by. I reached for the phone and checked the time."It's already 6 pm?" I furrowed my brow. I looked out the window and saw that the sun wasn't as bright as it was. The sun was setting. At that very moment, the door to my room swung open. I quickly grabbed the blanket and covered my chest. I wasn't dressed yet. I wondered who'd dare to enter

SURPRISING TURN OF EVENTS.

CHAPTER 146: SURPRISING TURN OF EVENTS.LIANA'S POV. Everything was set for the dinner with the pack. The tables were set with exquisite and exotic drinks. The candles enshrined in spherical-shaped glass casings made for good decor. They made the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Thank goodness the compound was quite large, so there was enough room for the myriad of people who flooded the compound. I looked through the window in the living room and saw how members of the pack interacted with one another, chattering with so much excitement, bearing plastic disposable cups containing drinks.Trevor orchestrated it so as to prevent his people from getting drunk quickly — from what I was told by Boraz. It was heartwarming to see these folks — destitutes, nobodies, hopeless and disgruntled folks find a home amongst themselves. Their race didn't matter. They were bonded by something deeper and stronger than blood, transcending the limitations of creed or race. They were bonded by love and

FROM MISTAKE TO BLESSING.

CHAPTER 147: FROM MISTAKE TO BLESSING. LIANA'S POV. Despite the cheers and eruption of excitement from the people, my heart raced. I should have been over the moon, but instead, I was terrified. My mind went into a frenzy as old memories resurfaced. I found myself recalling all that happened with Carl. In my head, the fear of what happened in my past life gripped me, but in my heart, I knew this was different, genuine. I just couldn't bring my head and heart to align. Trevor beamed with such a beautiful smile as he looked at me. I was beside myself at that point that I didn't really know what exactly was happening around me. My head swirled. I suddenly jerked when I felt him take my hand, and I pulled away, taking a step back. "Are you alright?" he asked, furrowing his brow. I couldn't answer him. I could hear my heart beating heavily, with a wheezing sound in my ears. Trevor then hugged me. His embrace was a bit firm, totally enclosing me in his large frame. I suddenly

KIN AND HOME.

CHAPTER 148: KIN AND HOME. ****THE TRIAL ARCH**** A few hours ago, Annie had left Trevor's secluded family mansion. She was seated in the lounge, on the last seat, by the edge of the row of seats. She was restless — on edge. The airport was as busy as always, with travelers carting along their luggage, either leaving the airport through the arrival gate or trying to catch their flight. Others were there for reasons only best known to them. But not that any of that mattered to Annie. She just wanted to get on the late flight she booked at an extra cost she was more than ready to pay, without batting an eyelid. "Here." Annie turned and looked at the person who spoke to her. She saw that it was Manuel. "What are you still doing here? I thought you had left already. I thought I told you to head back, that I'd be okay?" Annie said, almost angry at Manuel. "I got in the car to leave, but I couldn't. I couldn't just leave you here all by yourself in the state you're in," he

BEFORE THE TRIAL OF BLOOD AND FIRE.

CHAPTER 149: BEFORE THE TRIAL OF BLOOD AND FIRE."You called me cousin. How are we related?" Annie inquired, keeping her words few and to the point. "All of us, magic users — I don't like calling us witches. It kinda kills the vibe, you know," Diana chuckled. "We're all from the same ancestor, Morgana. Through her was birthed the five great houses, and the heads of those great houses are the ones that constitute the Council of Elders."Annie paid rapt attention, looking at Diana as she spoke."Everyone who's born with magic ability has a particular fragrant scent common to our kind. And yours is literally the most fragrant scent I have ever discerned," Diana said.Annie looked forward, not knowing what to say. "You seem not to know a lot about your origins. And it seems like your powers are just awakening. Am I right?" Diana asked. "I only just got to discover that I am a magic user a few days ago," Annie said. "You must have been terrified when you found that out, weren't you?"

ATTEMPT MADE.

CHAPTER 150: ATTEMPT MADE.True to her grandmother's description, as she had once vividly described Fairview to Annie— well, it may have been casual to her, but to Annie's little mind, it was vivid as her mind recreated the entire scene—Fairview was a little, secluded town South of the Chugach Mountains, on the outskirts of Anchorage. The drive took longer than an hour, mainly because it was still dark, and Diana needed to be careful as she commuted. Folks running over wildlife was a norm in these parts whenever they drove carelessly. After they passed a signpost, Diana said, "It won't be long now. We'll be arriving soon." Annie just sighed and nodded. She was eager to get this over with. She just wanted to get some sleep. It felt like it had been forever since she last had a good night's rest. She missed that simple aspect of daily human life.And she didn't know when things would return to normal. Well, she hoped that it would after this night — after the trial.Suddenly, Annie f
