-Lord Leonard.I know that we've had our differences,Alex started saying and Leonard growled.-Yes...the sympathy we have for each other is well-known...Nevertheless,I know that you,just like my uncle,want,above all,the best for your tribes.Sir...we've all been deceived...we have a common enemy.
When Leonard heard all that,decided to take his human form.Then,Alex closed her eyes teriffied and opened them slowly.
-Thank goodness he's wearing his clothes!,she said relieved and he looked at them strictly.
-We had an accident...don't ask,Brandon said to him.
-I wasn't going to anyway,Leonard answered.-So?
We know who is the killer of your brother,Lord Philip.And it's not Jasmine,she said.
-Then who?,he asked with disbelief.
-Jasmine,my aunt,had a sister.A twin sister.We believe that she was the one who killed him,she explained and there was tumult.
-Τhat doesn't change anything.She is one of you.
-You are wrong.She never participated in a ceremony.According to our laws,an initiation must take place for every witch.That woman is not one of us,as you said.She doesn't have powers.
-A mortal...Impossible!Do you have proofs?
Alex froze with the question.How could she prove to them that what she said was true?The answer was simple.She couldn't prove anything.What if she made things worse in the end with her stubborness?Suddenly a voice was heard.
-Yes,she does!
She turned her head and saw Matt Williams walking up to her.
-What are you doing here?,she asked him clearly happy.
-I'm doing the right thing,he said and smiled.
-I remember you...You're the one who testified at the trial,right?,Leonard asked him.
-Yes.I carry a terrible sin on my shoulders.
But that moment,out of nowhere,Joseph appeared alongside Lana.
-No,not that!,Alex said.
-Your family is full of surprises,Brandon said to her.
-You tell me...
Joseph grasped Matt by the neck and threw him on a tree log.
-Don't worry about your sins.You won't be alive much longer to be weighed down by them.
-Uncle,stop!,Alex yelled.
-That's ok.I suppose I deserve that,Matt said.
-Damn right you deserve it,Joseph answered him.
-Enough with your bravado.No one is afraid of you,Leonard said.
-Stay away from the girl or else you'll see whether you should be afraid of me or not!
-You don't say...
-I can turn you to dust with just one move,he said and raised his hand.Then,a few wolves stepped back.Joseph approached Leonard.-Very brave,congratulations,he mocked him.
-Do not provoke me,Leonard answered and walked up to him threateningly.
**********
But wait a minute...wait a minute.You must be wondering how Joseph found out about Alex's plan.Right.
**********
All the wizards were gathered to Elsa's house.
-Why did she summon all of us here?,Joseph asked.He wanted everything to be perfect at the biggest celebration of the year.
-Calm down.She must have her reasons,Lana answered.
-Where is Alex?She should be here.One day she will be the one who takes in my place.I thought she was excited for her first celebration.
-She was but...,she started saying when she saw Lindia walking up and down stressed.
-But?
-Just a moment,she told him and went to her granddaughter.-What is going on?,she asked her.Lindia was feeling like she couldn't utter a word.-Don't make me ask twice.
She now was certain that her granddaughters were hiding something from her.
-I know she didn't want you to learn about this,but I can't hide it anymore.I'm so worried.
-Speak.
-Alex.She's at the forest.
-What is she doing at the forest?,Joseph asked when he approached them.
-Please dad,do something,she told him and her eyes filled with tears.
-Lindia Blake!I asked you something!Why did she go to the forest?
-The werewolves...they wanted to attack us during the celebration and Alex went there to stop them.
-What?How did you let her go there by herself?I can't believe this!,Lana yelled.
-I'm begging you,let's go there before it's too late!
-You will stay here!,Joseph said.
-But...
-Do not say a word,he warned her.
-I'm coming with you,Lana said to him.
As they were running to the forest,Joseph watched the same nightmare awake inside him.The nightmare of the memory of his beloved people he had lost.His sister,his wife....that girl was like a second daughter to him.She was his heir.He couldn't bear to lose her too.He couldn't let his sister down like that.
