Chapter 271: 271

271 BE MY BRIDE

The district that the twelve witches lived in was a small district that was occupied by a majority of werewolves that strayed from their packs and came looking for shelter.

Those witches lived in a huge house with a back garden where they built a greenhouse to plant their herbs or any other plants that they usually used for their practice.

Knox had told July that they would come in handy when they were under attack by other supernatural creatures out there. These twelve witches could be one more layer of protection for them.

July believed everything that Knox said, since he knew better about his own kind rather than her, but for July, if those witches could be one more layer of protection for them, then maybe they could solve the problem between her and Knox.

A problem that was so hard to find a breakthrough for.

“CIARA!” Flo was so happy to see the witch when they found her in the green house, cutting leaves from a small tree in front of her.

Among the twelve witches, Ciara was Flo’s favorite because she could make any trees and flowers grow and blossom or wither at a snap of her finger.

“Hey, little angel,” Ciara greeted her, smiling sweetly at Flo and then bent down her body to pick her up and tickled her.

Ciara looked so normal, except for the color of her eyes. They were violet.

.....

Flo laughed and then wriggled her body to be put down. “What is that?” She looked curiously at the plant on top of the table.

“Abilion, the gem of life,” Ciara replied and then explained what plant it was. This was a rare plant that would only bloom once in two decades, resulting in two to three fruits per bloom if cultivated with care.

“Is its fruit delicious?” Flo sat down on the table, next to the plant. “I want to try it too.”

Ciara laughed, her violet eyes glinted under the afternoon sun.

“The taste is bitter, you will not like it.”

“What is the use of eating that?” July was curious to know about this, but she didn’t expect a reply from her.

“The fruit of the Abilion can prolong one’s life and youth.” Ciara immediately caught the surprise in July’s eyes and added more. “But of course, with no cheap consequences.”

Jasmine looked at the witch with narrowed eyes. Maybe this was only in her mind, but she felt like Ciara looked at her with an intense gaze, as if she had another meaning behind her words and the way she stared at her lasted for a few minutes, until Flo pulled her shirt and asked for attention.

What was that? Did Ciara know something? She almost thought that the witch could read her mind for a moment there.

======================

Liam was holding his baby, it was a boy. His second child turned out to be a boy and after all the pain that Jasmine had to endure during the labor, she was finally able to take a rest and was sleeping right now. She looked pale, but she was in good condition right now.

After cleaning up and changing her clothes, Jasmine fell into a deep slumber, not even bothering to hold her baby. She didn’t even ask about the twins and still didn’t know that one of them had died.

And now, Liam would be here to accompany Jasmine throughout the night, even though he didn’t need to do this at all, since he could let Ariana or one of the healers in this pack to look after Jasmine, yet he didn’t want to.

The alpha chose to spend his night with his mate and his son.

“Congratulations for your baby and my deep condolences for the other baby.”

Liam immediately stood on alert when he heard a man’s voice inside this otherwise quiet room. He turned his head and found a man standing to his left.

He looked so young, probably around the same age as him, but you couldn’t be so sure about the age if you were faced with a supernatural creature, since they aged differently.

However, a few things bothered him, because Liam couldn’t smell his scent and he didn’t even hear any footsteps or the cracking sound of the door being opened. He glanced at the door and sure enough, it was still closed.

Therefore, there was only one explanation left. This man didn’t use the door, he just suddenly popped into this room, but how could he do that?

There were only a handful of creatures that could do that, but Liam couldn’t pinpoint what kind of creature was before his eyes, since there was no scent coming from him. There was nothing, as if he was not real.

“You don’t need to mind link the other shifters, I came here just to talk,” Aaron said casually. He looked at the door and all of a sudden there was white fog that covered the whole floor, making the entire room look so dreamy, as if everything that you saw was not real. Like it was a dream.

Liam narrowed his eyes. He held his baby closer to him and then looked at Jasmine, who was still sleeping on the bed with an IV drip attached to her hand.

“Who are you?” Liam asked this mysterious guy. Was he a magus? Was this some kind of spell?

Magi and witches were not really accepted in this realm, because of how manipulative those creatures could be. Thankfully, there were not many of them.

“Oh, right. I forgot to tell you my name,” Aaron said in a light tone and looked cheerful to answer him. “I am Aaron.”

“What are you?” Liam thought this was the proper question to ask, since he found he didn’t really care what name this creature was called.

Aaron tilted his head, he smirked at him, while his lips formed two words. “A devil.”

Whatever it was, no matter how menace you were, there was nothing you could do in front of a devil. They were different creatures entirely. Their existence alone was something that you should fear and there was only one creature that could match up to those devils; Chaos.

Liam’s hold on his baby tightened when he heard that. This made sense, since he didn’t smell anything from him. The devils didn’t have a scent.

“You don’t need to worry, I didn’t come to harm you. I just want to make a deal with you.” Aaron walked across the room and then perched himself on the table, where there was a lot of medical equipment. His golden eyes were on Jasmine, who was sleeping soundlessly.

Only then did Liam realize he couldn’t mind link the other shifters, he couldn’t reach them. Was this because of this mysterious fog?

He was unsure of the answer.

“What deal?” Liam glanced at the baby. He was still sleeping and was breathing. He was afraid that this devil would take his son away. What kind of deal did he want? One should know better than to strike any deal with a devil. That was basic knowledge.

“Don’t worry, I am not here for your son, actually, it is the other way around.” The way how protective Liam was toward his son didn’t go unnoticed by the devil.

“What do you want?” Liam asked calmly, but vigilantly, since he knew there was nothing good that would come out of a deal with a devil.

Aaron tilted his head, as if he was trying to assess the alpha. “I can bring your daughter back from the dead.”

Liam almost gasped loudly when he heard that. He didn’t show it on the surface and maybe he would never let other people know how much pain he had to endure because of the death of his firstborn. No matter what, she was his child.

His guilt for not being able to protect his own child from its own mother was still eating him alive and it was still very fresh. He was even in a state of denial that his daughter had died.

Therefore, when the devil told him he could bring back his daughter, he almost agreed with him, the words almost slipped out of his lips before he stopped himself.

“What do you mean?”

“You know what I mean, Liam.” Liam had never mentioned his name before and he knew it already, though it was not his main concern now. “I can ease your conscience and bring your daughter back, don’t you want that?”

Liam couldn’t find an answer to his remark. Having a deal with the devil was like a lifetime mistake, but for now, his mind couldn’t function normally, since the pain was still anew and Aaron came at the right moment with the right offer for him.

Aaron chuckled. “Why? Are you afraid? Are you afraid of the consequences of sealing a deal with a devil?” he tilted his head, as if he could read what was in Liam’s mind and it was a little bit scary to say the least.

Liam said nothing. His entire demeanor showed how strung up he was.

“I will not ask anything difficult.” Aaron shrugged his shoulders. “I just want her to be my bride when she reaches seventeen years old.” After all, it was him, who gave her life back.

“No.”

Aaron smirked and then approached Liam. “Think about this carefully before you give me the answer, but before that, I will be gracious enough to let you have a taste of what it feels like to have both of your children in your arms.”
