Chapter 147: 147. He has a curse on him
"How could you...?" Hunter was about to protest but was stopped before he could finish.
"Do you want to get treated or not?" Jarred asked getting annoyed with the many questions.
"give me your hand," Crystal instructed. Unwillingly, Hunter placed his palm on hers. She then clasped her palms over and under his and with her eyes closed, she uttered some incoherent words, and a faint light emitting from her palms made its way to Hunter’s arm in the form of a light string snaking its way up his arm.
After a couple of minutes were passed, she opened her eyes and the blackness in his arm started fading. Slow but steady. She then did the same to David and Jack.
"Why would you help us when you are not one of us?" Hunter asked. She was a witch and from what he knew, though witches tried to do whatever they wanted sometimes, they don’t go join themselves with humans. No matter what happens, they will stick to the other creature who were like them, nonhumans.
"Someone took a position that should have been mine, so I left," Crysta replied as she sat beside Jarred once again. "The position of the coven head should have been mine."
"So you are bitter," Jack said and she glared at him. "I was just saying." he shrugged.
"The witches chose her over me, so I had no place with the witches anymore unless I follow her lead and do as she says." Crysta continued talking. "The witches are aiding the vampires especially now because they have the same aim, to capture the mystic wolf, beside that, there had been history between the lord of vampires and the current coven head."
"You said Mystic wolf What is that?" Jarred asked. He learned many new things today and he didn’t like the fact that he was in the dark all the while, while this was going on.
"The Mystic wolf is as rare as the lycans are, the difference is that while the lycans deal with brute force and strength, the mystic wolves are born with abilities, the colour of a mystic depends solely on their ability. A red for fire, green for nature, and baby blue for a water elemental ability." She explained.
"How many of these Mystic wolves are there?" David asked. The sound of those creatures having other abilities sounded very disturbing.
"One," Crysta answered. But when they were about to breathe in relief she continued, "But she is the best of them all. From my knowledge, she is the first wolf and mystic wolf to be created, she has all the abilities of the mystic wolves and more,"
"This is a lot to take in," Jack commented.
"If the witches and vampires are working together to get her, they have succeeded, right?" it would be good if she was already gone from the picture and they have only the small fries to deal with.
"No," She replied and they frowned but before they could say anything, she added. "First because she was protected by the strongest individual pack besides that of the Alpha supreme and now because she is the Luna supreme, and is much stronger now that she has grown up again."
"That is just great, the problem just got even bigger," Hunter commented.
"You said the strongest individual pack, which one?" David asked, he already had a premonition about the lack she was talking about but he just wanted to confirm it.
"The Blood Moon Pack."

In the Vampire territory,
Cecile stayed in the room with Dmitri just to keep him company hoping he will go to sleep soon but the vampire stayed up the whole time and she was sure that if he was not hurt right now he would have initiated something or more with their time together and she was kind of hoping for that too. But too bad he was hurt and needed rest.
The Captain of Vampires came back to check on his master because he did not fully trust the witch with him alone. But each time he came to check up on them, he would be sent back until now when he met them having a conversation that concerned the shifters.
"What happened to the alpha supreme?" Dmitri asked. He had had a glimpse of Darrrns condition before he died, even his death we a surprise because and lycan, his healing was meant to be stronger than the regular shifter but he died with those root-like veins all over his body which was not normal to begin with.
"There was dark magic in the poison of the claws of the Abominations, and I believe a spell was cast on him. What happened to him was either his body was reacting against the dark Magic and in the poison and the spell, or...." She trailed off, not sure of what she was about to say.
"Or what?" Dmitri asked.
"He has a curse on him." The two vampires looked at her with raised eyebrows. "Curses and Dark magic are related and rear to one another. It is either of these two but I don’t know how true the second one is but it is the most logical right now." She explains.
"For a curse that powerful, the one who curses him should be powerful too, right?" Dmitri asked while drawing small circles on the back of her palm, something that Leroy noticed. "If you didn’t do it then who?"
"I don’t know," Cecile said.
"It’s fine," Dmitri said to her. "Let’s just assume it was the first reason but then how did he wake up again after dying? He shouldn’t have woken up after he died, for the shifters to mourn his death, meant that the link was broken which was proof of his passing."
"I have no answer for that either, Dmitri," she said. She was as confused as the rest of them when she saw him walking on his feet again. And also just like them, she could not get an answer to her, Whats and hows."

The Shadow Moon Pack
The day went by smoothly without troubles from anywhere, but the event that happens the previous night remain as fresh as a day in their hearts. The night hours drew near and many had gone home or to their packs including those from the Blood Moon pack. Although they stayed a bit longer than the others.
Emily’s family was at Emily and Levi’s house trying to spend as much time with her as possible. They didn’t know the next time that they would meet like this again. They could always talk through phone calls but it would not be the same.
The Blood Moon Pack’s alpha and his family stayed at the Alpha’s mansion with Kora and left in the afternoon hours promising to come by often. Kora started her work and duties as the Luna supreme after their departure.
The day was eventful for the supreme Alpha and Luna and now it was finally nighttime when they could be together without another soul around to bother them. Even the maids had left an hour ago.
Kora sat in the living room wearing one of Darren’s shirts with the TV remote in hand trying to find a suitable show to watch but was not able to get what’s likes from the shows and she blamed the humans for being terrible filmmakers.
From the stairs, Darren appeared and walked down leaving the study and putting a stop to the work that was piled up for him inside for the night. Right now he wanted to be with his mate.
Standing behind the couch where she sat, he ruffled her hair adoringly which made her turn to look at him with a smile, "You are done?"
"Mhm, I am." He said and turned to sit next to her. She nods and drew closer to him and resting her head on his shoulder while his hand went to her waist and pulled her closer so that there was a gap between them.
"I like the peace we have now." She said but her eyes were fixated on the screen in front of them. "I wish it would always be like this, no troubles from anyone. Just us and the people we care about."
He stared at her face which was mostly covered by her hair, he wish for that too but he also knew that it was nothing but wishing thinking that there should be no troubles, especially in their lives. "I wish for that too," he said despite knowing that it won’t come true no matter how many times he wished for it, but there was nothing wrong with being wishful, right?
Darren’s hand around her waist started to stray and wander and began to touch her sensitive parts under the big shirt on her. Moving upward until he got to her breast and started to play with her nipple.
"It would have been nice, wouldn’t it?" She said. She turned to look at him because he didn’t say anything but she met his intense gaze on her and she felt hot with his gaze and touch.
He cupped her face and leaned forward to kiss her she patted her lips and he deepened the kiss. "I want to take you right here." He said and she blushed but didn’t oppose the idea.
"Okay, I would like that too," she said and he began to unbutton her shirt and made her lie on the couch. She was looking forward to doing the deed outside of their bedroom.
