Her Purpose || Kai Parker

Chapter 94

"Tell me more about the Book," Estrella asked, her curiosity piqued as she sat across from Anthony.

He hesitated for a moment, his eyes shifting between Oliver, Noah, and Lexi, all of whom appeared equally intrigued.

The weight of what he was about to reveal seemed heavy.

"Well, it has been said that no one can possess its full powers except for the warlock's true heir," he explained slowly, his gaze resting on Estrella.

The room felt thick with tension as the realization of what the book truly was settled in.

The Book of the Damned. A relic so powerful that Joshua had been seeking it for years.

But everyone in the coven knew it wasn't safe in his hands. Giving it to him would have been catastrophic.

So, with Jo's help-and after considerable convincing-they formed a plan to hide it in the Whitmore Armoury.

Jo had always been cautious, and the plan was risky, but she knew the stakes.

It was Damon, of course, who complicated things. He found out about the book and its extraordinary abilities.

Knowing its potential, he set his sights on it, intending to use its dark magic to kill Cade, town's new villain-the Devil himself.

Damon, ever the opportunist, cornered Liv and strong-armed her into retrieving the book.

He even pulled Bonnie into his schemes, pushing her to help unlock the secrets hidden within the cursed pages.

Bonnie, ever loyal, joined forces with Enzo, Alaric, Liv, and Jo to decode the ancient text, trying to find a way to end Cade's reign of terror.

Even Caroline and Stefan had joined the effort.

What they discovered within the book was nothing short of mind-boggling.

"It's a prophecy," Bonnie whispered one evening, her voice filled with both awe and fear.

Around that time, Anthony arrived at Whitmore with news of the events unfolding in Oregon.

Jo and Liv felt a wave of relief wash over them, the tension in their bodies finally easing.

For what seemed like the first time in months, Oregon wasn't marked by missing persons or mysterious murders.

The dark cloud that had hung over their hometown was beginning to lift, and the quiet that followed was a blessing they hadn't dared to hope for.

But Anthony's shock only deepened when he laid eyes on the infamous book, especially after hearing about the prophecy that Alaric had partially deciphered.

The prophecy spoke of a child-an heir to the most powerful warlock the world had ever seen.

Damon's face had lit up with excitement. "Does this child exist now? If this book has every answer, every solution, imagine what this witch could do-kill Cade, just like that," he said with a smirk, snapping his fingers for emphasis.

Anthony, however, remained skeptical. "No, they don't. They're a myth. It's not true," he replied, shaking his head.

Damon, unimpressed, scoffed. "Shameful," he muttered.

Liv chimed in, cautioning, "No witch can handle that much power." Bonnie nodded in agreement, visibly wary of the book's malevolent potential.

"But this warlock did," Stefan countered, looking at the others with a knowing expression.

Anthony wasn't convinced. "But he was a myth, too. A story," he argued, hoping to downplay the gravity of the situation.

He warned them about the consequences of opening the book.
