Chapter 278
278 Let’s Steal Her Shine
Author’s POV: Years Ago:
“When are we heading out again?” Emelia asked Hazel. It‘s been three days since they had an
encounter with the Alpha King, and Emelia couldn‘t shut up about how good he tasted.
“Weren‘t you the one who was scared of the idea of leaving?” Hazel secretly rolled her eyes at Emelia,
kneading the dough as they would in the kitchen to prepare food for the entire coven of witches.
“I was until I met him. He was so fine.” Emelia remembered how good–looking and charming her
Shaun was, and it made her smile.
“You shouldn‘t forget that you cannot have sex before the granting ritual.” Hazel shrugged her
shoulders as she looked exhausted with Emelia. She didn‘t get how a charming and handsome boy like
Shaun could fall for a mess like Emelia.
“Don‘t worry, I am not losing my virginity any time soon. Besides, we are both so young right now. He
turned 16 the previous month, and I will turn 16 in a few days.” Emelia was still flying high from the kiss
she shared with him.
“You know, I used to get it a lot from everyone. They would all make fun of me for not having been
kissed already. I can now say! am happy I shared my first time with someone as special as the Alpha
King.” The more Emelia talked, the angrier Hazel became.
“Well, you have been talking about him ever since we returned. Have you even thought about the
granting ritual? What dress are we going to wear and who will be the leader among the two of us?”
Hazel couldn‘t help but be epted as the leader of the new
group. That would mean a defeat to Emelia.
“Mother witch said she‘ll give me a dress of her choice,” Emelia said as she cut the vegetables.
“Wait! She told you that she would give you a dress of her own choice?” Hazel stopped kneading and
turned to Emelia, who didn‘t understand why her friend looked so shocked at her words.
“Yes! She didn‘t tell you that?” Emelia had no idea she was the only one who got a visit from the
mother witch. It was clear to Hazel why that had happened.
“Oh!” Hazel turned back to the dough and stared at it with big misty eyes. Mother Witch had already
chosen the leader, and she was going to grant her more power and authority.
“I honestly cannot wait for the day of granting,” Emelia kept yammering for the next few minutes while
Hazel realized she need to do something about Emelia. All these years, Hazel had never seen Emelia
as a threat. Hence, she loved hanging around with someone who would make her stand out more. But
it seemed like the tide had changed. Emelia was stealing all the attention and blessings from Hazel
now.
Hazel knew she must sneak out again before the granting ritual or else she would have to bear Emelia
as her leader, something she would not tolerate in a million years.
Emelia was thest to turn 16 among the young witches who were participating in the granting ritual.
That day, when the coven celebrated Emelia‘s 16th birthday, Hazel had made some ns of her own
too.
“Where are we going?” Emelia was blindly following Hazel without giving much information.
“I am going to sneak you out for Shaun. Consider it as my birthday gift to you,” Hazel said as they
crossed the protection spell.
“Really? I thought you forgot.” Emelia stopped in her tracks just so that she could hug Hazel and
express her gratitude for her kindness.
“Of course not. I am still the same person who wants to explore what‘s out there. Now let‘s go before
the guards find us here.” it wasn‘t hard for Hazel to make Emelia obey her. She had her own way of
making things happen.
The two ran together to the mansion, where Emelia found Shaun swimming in the pool and enjoying
some alone time.
“Emelia?” Shaun‘s eyes brightened at her sight. She too gave him a smile and then walked over to
greet him.
“Oh, my God! I thought I would never see you again,” jumping out of the pool, he instantly slipped into a
shirt and held her hand.
“I promised I would bring her back.” Hazel made her presence known, smiling at them as if she was the
best friend one could ever have.
“Why don‘t we go inside? It‘s cold here and not to mention, you are all wet, your highness,” Hazel
giggled, hiding her evil intent behind her beautiful smile.
As Shaun went into his room to change, Hazel started messing around in the refrigerator. She poured a
red liquid into the fresh drink she got for Emelia and sat down with her to make sure she finished it all.
After Shaun came out, he grabbed Emelia and walked her into his room so that the two could spend
some quality time together.
As for Hazel, she reassured them she would be fine with the TV, as she had never seen this thing
before.
“Hm!” Hazel pouted, looking around and then focusing on the bag in the corner. Curiosity peeked inside
her just by looking at that bag. She rushed over to have a look inside the bedroom. Shaun and Emelia
were making out, but Hazel needed them to really do more than that.
At the same time, she rushed over to the bag and checked the contents. There was a chain he wore
when they met for the first time. It looked expensive. She shoved it in her dress pocket along with some
other expensive things.

She then heard what she had been waiting for. The moaning from the bedroom was a hint that her n
had worked.
“Let‘s see how Mother Witch will react to you not being a virgin anymore,” A smirk crept over Hazel‘s
lips as she departed from the mansion to go bring the witches here.
She made it to the forest to inform everyone one of them had escaped the coven and hadnded in the
future Alpha King‘s arms.
As for Emelia, she fell asleep afterward. The serum in her drink worked well, but it exhausted her. She
had no idea she‘d wake up to not only a surprise but also a heartbreak.
