"The moment you consummate your relationship with your mate, she will die. You dared to reject my proposal, the proposal of the Witch of Artemia; now you have to bear the consequences." Serena cursed Alaric, the alpha of Dark Knight Pack when he refused her romantic proposal plunging him into a life full of misery. Alaric has resigned himself to a life of loneliness but can he restrain himself when he comes face to face with his mate? Can he stay away from his mate who has seen nothing in her life but misery? Can he bear to break her further with his rejection?
view moreThe Witch of Artemia was seated on a large bed in an ornately decorated tent. The war had finally ended, and now she could focus on what she wanted. Her lips stretched into a wide smile at that thought.
“Madam, Alpha Alaric is here to see you.” A young girl said, entering the tent. She walked straight up to the witch and stood bowing her head.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I have to do so many preparations!” She said, jumping up and looking around the tent. Everything was in its place, yet she didn’t seem satisfied.
“Ma’am, but he just arrived. How could I have told you earlier?” The girl said in a low voice
The next moment Slap! A heavy blow had landed right across her cheek that left the marks of fingers on her cheeks.
“How dare you contradict my words? Don’t you know who I am? I can turn you into a mouse with a single curse.”
The young girl’s face turned pale as she shook with fear. Falling on her knees, she begged, “Please forgive me….ma’am. I will never make this mistake again.”
The witch said, picking up her wand, “Of Course I will forgive you, dear. You have worked so hard for me..”
The girl relaxed and kept muttering, “Thank you…thank you….”
The witch flicked her wand, and the next moment there was the one kneeling on the floor was not a young girl but a rabbit.
“Ha…ha…haa…he….hee…hee…” Her evil laughter echoed in the room.
“You were so faithful to me, so I forgave you. I didn’t turn you into a rat; I turned you into a rabbit.” She said, looking into the rabbit’s eyes
Then she picked the rabbit by its ears and threw it in a corner, saying, “I have no time to waste on you. I need to get ready to meet Alpha Alaric.”
She stood in the front of a full-sized mirror and tried different looks with the help of magic, but she didn’t seem satisfied by any of them.
“Damn! It is all because of that girl.” She complained as she tried on yet another look.
Her face lit up when she looked at her new look. The body-hugging red gown hugged her tightly, accentuating her curves. The plunging neckline of the dress revealed her cleavage. The cut in the dress showed off her long thighs. In short, she looked very alluring.
She drew in a deep breath and said, “Let us see how you can resist my charm now!”
She clapped her hands, and the next moment a man heavily dressed in armor entered the tent.
“Send Alpha Alaric in, and yes, see to it that no one else disturbs us.” She commanded and motioned him to leave.
She looked at herself in the mirror one last time. Her lips stretched in an evil smile as she slid one of the straps of her dress down her shoulder.
“Witch of Artemia, Greetings…”
She spun around when she heard Alpha Alaric’s husky voice. Her face contorted in irritation when she saw two werewolves flanking him, but she quickly regained her composure.
“What a delight to see you in better times, Alpha.”She said, giving him a sultry smile.
“All thanks to you. We could have never won the war if it wasn’t for your help. I hope you can accept the gifts I have brought as a token of appreciation.”
“These material things are useless to me. Please ask them to take it away.” She said curtly. There was only one thing she wanted, Alaric!
“But….I will feel bad if I didn’t thank you well…”
“Hmmm….okay…there is something you can help me with…”
“Sure…anything….I would be honored if I can help you.” The Alpha said excitedly.
“Can you ask them to leave? I will feel uncomfortable…”
“Samuel, Katie, you can leave….”Alaric said, turning to them.
“But, Alpha….your safety…”
“I can protect myself, and Serena is the most powerful with on earth; what could probably go wrong? Please leave.”
Samuel wanted to say that the greatest danger was Serena herself, but he couldn’t say that in front of her, could he? They both bowed and walked out of the tent, leaving Alaric and Serena alone.
“Now, tell me, Serena, how can I help you?”
“There is only one thing I need help with…” She said, closing the distance between them.
She cupped his face with her hands, and the next moment she crushed his lips with hers.
Alaric was stunned by her sudden assault. It took him a few minutes to wrap his mind around what was going on.
The moment he realized it, he shoved Serena away with full force.
Serena was unprepared for this and staggered backward; Hurt flashed through her eyes.
Alaric looked at her apologetically and said, “I am sorry, Serena. I can’t do this. I can give up my life for you, fight the dreariest battle for you, but I can’t do this. I have waited all my life for my mate and will continue to do so…..”
Serena’s eyes blazed with anger as she growled, “Are you sure you want to reject me? Don’t you know who I am?”
“I am sorry, Serena….really sorry….” Alaric said in a regretful voice. How could he betray his mate?
The aura around Serena blazed a deep red as she said the words, “I, The Witch of Artemia curse you; the moment you consummate your relationship with your mate; she will die.”
Then Serena stormed out of the tent waving her wand behind her.
Alaric stood there, frozen like a statue. She had shattered his life and filled it with misery and despair with just one flick of her wand.
Sienna indeed felt useless sitting alone in the room. She was lost in her thoughts when Daniel came running. His face was pale and he was panting badly, “Mommy… mommy… please come quickly… Daddy…”Sienna knelt and asked him, “What happened to Daddy?”“A Biggie biggie man carried him away… Daddy didn’t open his eyes…”Sienna picked him up in her arms and asked for the exact location where he had seen him. From his description, it seemed as if he was taken to the nearby warehouse.She took off her sandals and took out the revolver from the drawer. Instructing, Ruby to take care of Daniel she ran in the direction of the warehouse.Her dress got caught in brambles and she had to tear off apart of it to move ahead but this was her least of her concern.She ran as fast as her legs could carry. Her eyes widened in horror when she saw Alaric tied up in chains. He was
The next morning when Sienna woke up, she found herself in her bedroom. Alaric was seated beside her with her hand nestled between his.Before she could speak anything her mind got flooded with thoughts *My mate’s eyes are so mesmerizing. How I wish I could get lost in them. Her full lips make me want to drown in their sweetness.*Sienna’s face flushed. Pulling her hand away she said, “From when did you become so sloppy?”Alaric’s eyebrows furrowed and he said, “Sorry…”It was then Sienna realized that his lips hadn’t moved at all. She sat up with a start and said, “Does that mean I was hearing your thoughts?”“Maybe… mates can hear each other’s thoughts once the male has marked the female… I don’t know if Human mates can do that…”He cupped Sienna’s face in his hands and thought about the first time he met her.&ldquo
Aunt Sue, Elliot, Ruby, and Amanda rushed to the cottage when they got Alaric’s message. They found Alaric sitting on the floor with his head buried in his hands.Alaric raised his head when he sensed Elliot’s hand on his shoulder. “I lost everything, Elli… Everything is destroyed…”“What do you mean?”“I killed Serena.”Elliot knelt in front of him and said, “What you did is very honorable. Dad will be proud of you. You chose to save innocent babies over your mate. Not everyone can do that.”“Elli, You don’t understand, that b**** killed all the babies too before dying.”Amanda looked around and said, “I don’t think she could have used power after you stabbed her totem with the dagger. Where are the babies? Let me have a look…”“Right there…” Alaric started saying but stopped when he saw that t
Sienna was dressed in a pair of comfortable jeans and sweaters. The room didn’t seem tiny to her anymore. She had sort of figured out how the room worked.The moment she managed to eliminate the fear of closed spaces from her mind, the room appeared much larger. When she got over the fear that she will remain hungry and thirsty, she didn’t feel hungry or thirsty anymore.It was as if the room was created to magnify your fears. She still hadn’t figured out a way to escape from this oppressive prison.“Long time no see, sister…” Serena's voice pulled her out of her thoughts.Her eyebrows drew closer as her eyes checked Sienna out from top to bottom. She looked at the mirror lying in the corner. “Ignorance is bliss, isn’t it? But it doesn’t stop the world from spinning…”Following her eyes, Sienna said in a resolute voice, “I am not going to fall for your tricks anym
As days went by, Serena could notice visible changes in Alaric’s behavior. He followed her orders without asking any questions. He showered her with praises. Though she knew he was flattering her for his own benefit, she couldn’t help but feel thrilled at the prospect that Alaric admired her.She had caught him staring at her on several occasions. She was convinced that he had developed a liking for her. If he passed the test, they could start afresh and she could end Sienna’s pitiful life.Her face lit up with satisfaction as she saw Alaric clean her dirty shoes. He was completely focused on the task.She waved her wand and all the shoes got cleaned instantly. A gasp escaped Alaric’s mouth and he raised his head to find Sienna stand in front of them.He jumped to his feet and bowed, “Master…”“Come and sit with me. I have an important matter to discuss.” Serena said waving her hand towards the
“Why are you doing this, Serena?” Sienna asked in a pained voice.Serena's smirked and said rubbing her hands, “I would have said that I am taking revenge but honestly this is so much fun,”Sienna was taken aback by her answer. How could someone derive pleasure by hurting others? She glared at the witch and said, “You might be very powerful but one day you will have to pay for your deeds too. You should be more mindful of your actions.”Serena’s evil laughter echoed in the room sending shivers down her spine. When Serena finally calmed down she challenged,“Who is going to make me pay? Your weakling mate…”“You never know… Aunt Sue is a witch too. If she finds a way to get me out of here, I am sure they won’t spare you easily.”“That will never happen, Luv. Those fools are looking for you in the transition realm; the realm of where people go if th
