Hayley lay on the floor, gasping for breath after Alexia left. She was beginning to lose her breath.
The poison was working and it was fast. Suddenly, the door burst open and Damian came through. He couldn’t believe his eyes, he left her a while ago fine and healthy. What happened? He rushed to where she lay and held her up, but she was weak, with scratches all over her body and face. He tried removing the arrow and it came out with a chunk of flesh. Hayley passed out due to the pain from removing the arrow.
He quickly held her from the floor and came out of the room. He was desperate. He couldn’t lose her now. He yelled for someone to help and the women hiding in the rooms rushed out to help. She was bleeding profusely and losing blood fast.
The woman used a piece of a dress and stuffed it into the hole the arrow made in her back. A woman brought water and poured it on her face, she gasped and opened her eyes. Damian rushed to her side immediately.
“What happened Hayley? Who did this to you?” He cupped her face in his hands as he desperately asked, hoping she will be able to speak. And she did.
“Al… Alexia.” She suffered to call the name and she passed out again.
Damian ran to get his best friend, Phil. Phil came into the house with Damian and Damian handed Hayley’s body to him.
“She’s almost dead. Run. Go to Octavia and hand Hayley over to her and tell her Hayley is my mate.”
When Hayley woke up, she looked around her and she was in a room. Her throat felt dry and painful. She could feel the swell of her eyes and her lips were parched. She had no strength to call out so she just lay on the bed observing the room.
In no short while, a young girl came into the room. The girl gasped when she saw that Hayley’s eyes were open and she ran out. She came back with another young woman who smiled at Hayley when she saw that she was awake. She sent the other younger woman away to go get water for Hayley. Immediately after the other young woman left, Hayley spoke up.
“Damian. Where is Damian?” The young woman looked down at her hands and spoke.
“We haven’t heard from him since you were brought here.”
The water arrived and Hayley drank it with haste, she was extremely thirsty.
Hayley got to discover that she was in the witches’ clan. The witch queen, Octavia was Damian’s good friend. A beautiful woman. She wanted to hear Hayley’s story and see how she could help Hayley.
Leaving the part where she once killed Alexia, Hayley narrated everything to the witch queen and pleaded for revenge. The witch queen promised to help me.
Hayley couldn’t stop crying when she heard about Damian’s death. Her mate. The witch agreed to help her in her revenge after seeing how pitiful Hayley was.
Octavia was young and beautiful already. She would go to the werewolf’s territory as a runaway witch and get to be close to Alexia. She would give Hayley information and Hayley would strike when the opportunity comes.
The plan was going well until the night Octavia found out Alexia was first broken. A broken villain. Hayley and Damian had killed and betrayed her first. Information stopped coming to Hayley and she decided to take the laws into her hands.
Hayley killed the witch queen’s daughter and extracted her powers into herself and headed to take out revenge once and for all. She killed the witch queen and enchanted the packs against Alexia, hoping to destroy her but Alexia ran away.

But now she had her in her claws, In the woods all alone.
Alexia couldn’t believe what Hayley saying. Tears filled Alexia’s eyes and she was trembling. Hayley gave out a short laugh and started walking towards her but Alexia was taking slow steps back.
“Let’s play hide and seek Alexia.” Her lips curved up in an evil smile and she began chanting another spell. Thick darkness started covering the woods, Alexia who stood fearlessly started panicking and wondering what she was up to. But before Hayley could even finish her spell, a bigger wolf pounced on her from behind. It was Lucian, he had transformed into a full Lycan. He ordered Alexia to run and she did.
There was darkness everywhere and she didn’t see where she was going but she kept running. She could hear Hayley shrieking loudly, screaming and crying for help and after a while, it went silent, the whole place went silent.
When she was out of the woods, she stopped running, standing back and looking into it. The total darkness had gone away and it was dead silent. After a long while, Lucian emerged from it. He had transformed into a human again and was panting heavily, fresh blood dripping from his mouth. He looked fearful and intimidating. Like a god of some sort. She asked him if the woman was dead but he didn’t respond. He quietly walked past her into the southern territory.
LUCIAN’S POV
He wasn’t far off. He was on one of the trees, watching Alexia. When she stopped running, he knew that the person was close by. Then he heard a whistling sound. Someone was whistling but he couldn’t see anyone. He watched as Hertha transformed and Alexia stood up. He could see that she was struggling to look unafraid but he could also see the fear in her eyes. He heard the whistling noise come to a stop in front of Alexia. He wanted to jump down now, but he would be fighting the wind if he did. He couldn’t even see anyone but Alexia.
He was watching her keenly and he saw another woman appear in front of Alexia. She was the whistler. He just knew it. She had her back on him and he couldn’t see her face but, he watched as Alexia’s eyes went wide with shock, she couldn’t even stand properly she had to hold a tree for support. By Alexia’s reaction, he knew that both women knew themselves too.
