" Help! Help! Somebody help me!" came from a man in a dirty lake, surrounded by hungry crocodiles.
I never knew torturing an enemy would be this fun until I tried it. This man, screaming pitifully, is number three, which is also the last number on my enemy list. This evil forest with its lake full of hungry crocodiles and scorpions became my favourite place to deal with them.
The crocodiles sneered at him, showing him their dangerous sharp teeth, hesitating to make a move, waiting for my order. Don't pity him, he's a dark witch! Dark witches that work with demons.
" Why did you kill Montana Lewis?" I asked him, Montana Lewis was a great healer. Who saved people from vampires and witchcraft now that she's dead? Isn't this a carefully planned tragedy?
" I don't mean to… I am just a messenger, I have no choice but to kill her to free myself"
" From?"
" From her… the queen witch, she's unstoppable, you know what that means?" Even in this type of situation, he still asked me questions and showed me his dirty teeth. Grinning is for people with beautiful teeth. " Tear…"
" Wait. Okay promise me you'll set me free if I tell you a secret"
" That's the reason why I kidnapped you, why won't I set you free?"
" No, please, make a promise, " he insisted as if it were kind of an oath.
" I promise"
"Good, Montana had to die to increase the percentage of dark magics, the queen witch has no idea you're alive and asked me to investigate you"
" Now you know I'm alive, what's next?"
" You will be eliminated, because you're fated to break the curse of your mate and—"
" You haven't told me the reason why you killed Montana Lewis" I already knew about that history.
" Oh, I thought you'd want to know about yourself since you are the mate of the most powerful Alpha in history. The queen witch needs more allies to deal with the upcoming war…"
So that's it, she needs more allies for the upcoming war, damn you prophecy, it has been sixty years since the prophecy came out, about the war between the immortal races, a second war that's meant to happen. This is a fvck up situation. " How did you kill her?"
" I slit her throat with a green venom sword", he said. It seems the man is not willing to die, yes.
" Good," I said and stood up from the lakeside and glanced at the crocodiles.
" Tear him apart", I said. I absolutely turned to leave. The witch looked at me in horror. The crocodiles pounced on him, giving him no chance to scream.
I walked through the misty forest alone, going back to my house. There was nothing like the ' set me free' promise in death games.
Montana Lewis's body was killed, not her soul. That's good news; she will choose another body and become stronger.
" My lady?"
" Princess Megan?" Two royal maids ran toward me as soon as I came out of the forest. They were looking for me and placed their hands on their chests, relieved they found me, I sneaked out of the palace. I like to walk alone and unnoticed. Princess treatment? I hate it.
" Sneaked out again?" Mom asked as soon as I got to the palace, and I glared at Emily. " I thought it was a trap" she dramatically raised her hands.
" Montana Lewis is dead," I said.
Mom sighed " That bitch is so hellbent on manipulating humans to be her allies, too bad, they'll be killed, the humans are no match for the Werewolves or vampires."
" That's crazy", Emily, my younger sister, said.
" I have hidden you enough," she put her face between her thumb and ring finger, in deep thought. "I've prepared almost all our things, we'll move in the next two days. She will find out you're alive if you keep roaming about"
" She thought I was dead?" I asked in confusion, She never told me about this, and I remembered what the bad witch told me.
" Ever since she found out you're Alpha Lease's mate, she has become crazy and wants to kill you. She sent one of your father's maids to poison you. I faked your death and left your father's palace"
" Oh, that's why you departed from your father?" She never tells us the actual reason why she left her father. I suddenly feel like my mom is hiding more than we knew from us.
" Forget it, your father is not at fault, he had married before he found me, his mate"
" He should have waited", Emily frowned " What's unfair!" she groaned in annoyance.
" Whatever, I'm glad you two are safe, that's all that matters"
" And you have to be safe to break the curse of your mate, so stop roaming around and haunting witches," she added.
I frowned, I won't I haunt them? There are good witches, white witches. The dark witches are just evil! All they like is to kill, manipulate and eat innocent people.
" Why do you want him awake so badly?"I asked. I heard Alpha Lease's the first Alpha, how come I am fated to that old man? Displeased, although I'm not a werewolf, we are gifted to have mates from any race, whether it's vampires or Werewolves, but we never mate with witches..
Mating with the Werewolves is a great blessing to the Changelings. Werewolves owned the supreme power in the immortal kingdom. Although we lived with humans to hide, I knew every detail about the race that claimed supremacy and sovereignty. The door to the immortal world is located in a secret forest, invisible to humans.
" He is the only one that can stop queen witch, and the Jend" She replied, Jend is the crown prince of dark Changelings, he want all the four kingdoms to bow for him, want to rule the changelings race, he was dying to tell Lease to stay out of changelings fight, since he's half breed, but he didn't dare, A prophecy had come out before Lease was born, it said there will be a man with three different bloods in his vain, he will be crown and rule over the three races, and will be able to shift, magic and blood.
" What does that mean?" I asked my mother about the incomplete details of the prophecy ( Shift, Magic and Blood )
" No one knows, his father is a werewolf king, and his mother… Princess of the gold kingdom, they've investigated everything they could about the third blood he has, but no clue"
" Maybe one of his parents is a hybrid", Emma suggested.
" Not at all, even his parents are confused about the blood, that was why the witches are scared of him because their seer said, his third blood power hasn't manifested"
" Ahhh", I shivered. I never knew my mate was this scary, so why am I fated to him?
" Many Changelings and Werewolves will envy you, sis"
I shook my head, maybe I shouldn't bother to break the curse? But the Queen witch wants to kill innocent humans!
" Your Highness, you have a guest," a maid informed my mother. We exchanged looks," Are you expecting someone?" I asked in confusion, we've been hiding for several years, my mother is very rich and highly respected as a queen. But we don't have any close relationships with anyone. Who could it be?
" Stay indoors, no peeping or eavesdropping", she warned, not trusting us enough "You two, keep eyes on them", she instructed the maids nearby and left.
She reached the living room, and someone was waiting for her, seated comfortably.
" Hello Queen Mia"
