Chapter 66
Who are you? How did you get into my territory without us noticing?’ I snarl.
The person in front lowers their hood.
Yiselda?’ I enquire.
Alpha Magnus,’ she murmurs before turning her focus on Nina. She acknowledges Nina with a smile
and a nod. The four hooded people behind her all bow their heads to Nina.
Nina and I exchange a troubled look.
What brings you here, Yiselda?’ Nina inquires. A mouse sits upon her shoulder and begins to clean its
whiskers.
“After all, Magnus, it’s fantastic to see you were able to break the spell, she replies, dismissing Nina’s
query.
I did, I admit. ‘But I can’t help but think that’s not why you’re here.’
Alpha Magnus, I would like you to meet the Midnight Coven’s members.
Introduce yourself to Fern, Ria, and Lc.’ As their names are called out, the women drop their
hoods. They are all stunning women. Fern is a woman with brown hair and blue eyes. has brown
eyes and blonde hair. Ria has red hair, green eyes and numerous freckles. There is a cream-coloured
snake around her neck. I try not to squirm thinking about the snake. Then there is Lc, her hair is
ck, and her eyes are brown.
‘It’s a pleasure to meet you all. Please have a seat, I say, motioning to the wooden logs.
They warm themselves by the fire and make themselvesfortable.
‘So, The Midnight Coven?’ I question.
That’s correct. We are thest known coven, although only a few people are aware of us. We learned
about Nina and her sister. They are half-wolf, half-witch hybrid.’ Yiselda looks at Nina.
I knew there was something special about you when I saw you, but I couldn’t put my finger on what it
was, but I can see it now, all around you. The curse must have been shadowing your power from
everyone. The rumour that Nina and her sister are witches quickly spreads across the packs. There’s a
reason we’re the only witches remaining and why we’ve remained hidden from the rest of the world
Can you tell me why?’ I enquire.
Yiselda inhales deeply. ‘Witch hunts, She whispers, sending eerie shivers down my spine.
But now the eggs are out of the basket, werewolves are aware that witches still exist, and Nina is your
Mate, making things quite interesting. So, my midnight coven sisters have be hopeful that they
may be able toe out of hiding and live peacefully among the pack, your pack.
Zak and Josie take a step back in surprise, tripping over the log. We all exchange nces as we hear
nothing but a croak, followed by another croak and another. As the croakinges from , we all
look at her oddly. She giggles and reaches into her pocket for a slimy toad.
Everyone, it’s fine. That noise isn’ting from me. It’s simply Todd, my familiar. He’s a toad,’

exims as though it’s the greatest thing ever,
I try not to cringe and instead frown.
“So, you all want to live here in Shadow Crest? | ask.
They all nod and smile except for Yiseida,
Tm afraid I wouldn’t be able to stay’ The tourdies would be the only ones residing here. Perhaps if
the other packs see that we can coexist peacefully in this pack with you, they will rethink their ideas
about witches and allow us to live freely without fear?’
This is a significant decision that Nina and I can’t make right now. Tomorrow, we’ll have a meeting and
seek counsel from our
elders.
‘We would appreciate that, Alpha Magnus.’
‘Why wouldn’t you be able to stay, Yiselda?”
The Covenstead we live in is more than just a house. Some beings have been sealed for all eternity
and can never be released. So at least one of us must remain at the Covenstead to ensure that the
seals are not broken, or the ward spells are not removed.
‘What kind of beings are they?’ I ask.
Things you hope you’ll never meet, the darkest things you can env|sion, such as Grimghouls and
Shadow Reapers, thate from your deepest darkest nightmares. It would be like opening Pandora’s
box if they were set free. Because of this, it became the name of our Covenstead:
“Your home is known as Pandora’s Box?’ | grimace.
Fern, , Ria, and Lc chuckle and nod, amused at the situation.
‘Yes, if only your species could understand that witches are here to protect everyone, to keep the world
free of demons and dark forces. It’s our duty to keep them trapped by having wards and spells in ce.
We also create potions to help heal the sick.
‘Won’t you be lonely staying in Pandora’s box?’ Nina asks.
Yiseldaughs, ‘I wish. But unfortunately, the Vampire King never shuts up. I’ve already put up with him
for a few centuries as it is. Fern, , Ria and Lc cane by anytime if they are able to reside here.
They could teleport to Pandora’s Box easily enough each day if they wanted to.’
“Vampire King? i mind-link to Nina.
“Never knew vampires existed, let alone a king?’ she mind-links back.
