Novel & Cerita Alec Lightwood Magnus Bane

I was just giving you a helping hand, wasn't I? Magnus let out a cold laugh, then turned to look at Fenwick. "Give me a helping hand? Is that what you thought too?" Terrified, they shouted, "What exactly are you going to do to us?" From the moment they received the empty briefcase, they knew they would never escape Magnus' vengeance today. Magnus' body shifted in an instant. He pinned Tala and Fenwick beneath his paws and forced wolfsbane down their throats, making sure they experienced the same agony I had endured.

"What do you know about my ambitions? Cedric and I were once fellow apprentices under the same mentor, Mr. Gregory Sivan. From the start, Cedric was inferior to me in every way—whether in medicine, combat, or earning Mr. Sivan's favor. The man wasn't even in my league." Simon looked skeptical. "If that's true, then why are you here all alone? Meanwhile, Mr. Aicker has established a family empire that's thriving in Jayrodale." Bane's expression darkened, his face twisting into a grimace. "Funny you should ask. My story isn't too different from yours."

"I need to know how this happened. How did he become a rogue?" Magnus hesitates, golden eyes conflicted. Finally, he glances briefly at Morgana before admitting, "Hydralith bite," and resumes his path. Morgana regards me cryptically before she follows him, whispering, "Welcome to Caelondor, darling." *** 'You're responsible for this. Alec lost his soul trying to protect you,' Lila's voice echoes in my mind, a haunting reminder that refuses to fade. I shake off the echoes, unsure if Lila is truly speaking or if it's a hallucination induced by guilt. She hasn't communicated with me in what feels like ages. If she were here, I'm sure she'd blame me for Alec's state, a consequence of my choices.

Fine by me. I chuckled darkly, glancing at X as something sparked between us. We were thinking the same thing. I leaned in, voice low and taunting. “Alpha Maximus. Let’s test something. I’m guessing your little crew doesn’t know the truth about Tatiana, huh?” Bane froze. His cuffed hands twitched. Panic bloomed in his amber eyes. “That’s a lie!” he barked. “You have to tell them the truth! They’ll kill me!”

Allen paused then continued. “The main issue is that Magnus Lightwood is no man you want to get involved with. Even after his arrest, I didn’t have the guts to bring you back. Even in the cell, he controlled so many things out here. There was a time Castle Corps went through a crisis. I suspect Magnus to be involved. We had to sell the company and I had to fake my death,” Allen said. “Somehow along the way, it was gotten back. We had help from an external source, whose details are irrelevant to you right now. I asked Rafael to bring you back when I got info from my intel that Magnus was killed in jail. It seemed Magnus had more enemies than we thought,”

"We're hoping Alpha Lance can use his pull in the capital to get Alpha Theodore to intercept Alfred before he can get to Lycan Erasmus. If we can stop him now, there might still be a chance." Austin looked stunned, a flicker of hope returning to his dull eyes. "You guys... you have scouts at the border?" Magnus nodded. "Adelaide gave us a secret communication network before we left the capital. It was meant for exactly this—a way to bypass the Royal Guard if things went south and get word back home fast." Austin caught the most important detail. "That Alfred guy... he's from the Hornbeams?" "Yeah," Magnus said grimly. "That snake is Alpha Theodore's nephew."

“Alpha.” Kael nodded toward the chair. “What is it?” General Thorne stayed standing. “A recruit. Younger, but promising. He might be ready for the Shadows.” That caught Kael’s attention. “Name?” “Jarek,” General Thorne replied. “He’s been training hard since the last ambush. Smart, fast, and shows no fear in the ring. If you agree, I’ll prepare him for the initiation.” Kael thought it over for a moment, then nodded. “Do it. And give the Shadows the day off from drills. Let them prepare properly.”

He said before heading out, his guards trailing behind him. Madonna was already doing the needful. As she made her way in, a few minutes earlier. "Who truly owns the girl?" Bane asked when Aaron was out of sight, his dark eyes narrowing. "Don't worry. He’s just a pawn in our game." Bane laughed as he rubbed his bald head. If only he knew he was also a pawn of mine. "Sorry... about what happened to one of your factories," Bane muttered after recomposing himself. "No, it's okay. Just a minor setback for the greater good."

Paul added, though his voice lacked conviction. "No," I snapped, turning back to him. "Bane is not a man who stays in a cage. If the attack was as sophisticated as you say, he’s already gone. He’s a tactical genius, Paul. He wouldn't sit and wait for a trial he knows he’ll lose." "He’s already fled," Paul admitted, looking at the floor. "He broke out during the second wave of the invasion. He’s headed back to his territory. Back to Zelda." I slammed my fist onto the mahogany desk, the sound echoing like a gunshot. "Of course he is. He’s going for his prize. He thinks that because he has the girl and a stolen mark, he can hide behind the 'High Alpha' bloodline."

“No, we can’t go into that establishment looking this way. You are bare.” “Funny.” Drawing intimately to me, “Are you forgetting we are a different kind of breed? Werewolves. Being bare is the least of my worries.” He pushed his car door open, getting out. Clearing my throat loudly, I stepped out of the car as well. Getting to the entrance, Alpha Leonardo said some words to the men guarding the gate. Words I couldn't hear however I strained. The pathway into the establishment was laid apart for us to walk in. Couldn’t stop my eyes from watching the beautiful lights in awe. This place looked better at night.
