085 – Silver Crest Pack
ADAN STONE.
“Alpha Fabius, I’m d to see you again. “I greeted the Alpha of the Silver Crest the moment I stepped
out of the car in front of his packhouse.
He took and shook my hand as he responded. “Pleasure is mine, Alpha
Stone. I thought de woulde with you.”
“Is he not here?” I asked, my brows furrowing.
“No. It’s been over a year since thest time he showed up here. So when I heard he was in your
territory weeks ago, I was hoping he woulde and check on me.”
“I have no idea where he is at the moment.” It was the truth. The trackers I sent to contact Althea
reached Collin with
the news that Althea was at the Fortuna Coven but de was not.
“Typical de. I would be thest one on his priority list.” He let out a sigh before he shed a smile,
something that didn’t reach his eyes. “Anyway, enough about my brother. My Beta will show you the
area you can use. It’s in the middle of the forest, away from the residential area, and usually not visited
by my people. So it’s secured for whatever you are nning.’
“Sounds good.”
“The house is just a small cottage, but it’s fully equipped. I’m sure it’ll be
“I can also sleep in the forest, so I’m not worried about that. But thank you for providing a ce to stay
as well.”
“Well, good thing I did. You have a female
appreciate a roof over her head. Is she the witch?”
I saw the way Fabius’ eyes sparkled as he
looked at Patrea, who smiled warmly at him.
“Yes, she is. “My name is Luca,” Lucius said as he extended his hand.”I’m rissa’s boyfriend.”
I almost choked at his words. We had discussed the names that they would be using, but we definitely
didn’t discuss thatst part.
“Besides, she’s too old to be your mom.” He added, which made Patrea’s eyes widen before she red
at Lucius. 2
I watched in amusement as Lucius shook Fabius’ hand, waiting for him to do anything to the young
guy, but thankfully he didn’t, although Fabius’ shoulders
slumped at his words.
‘What the fuck was that?’ I sent Lucius’ a mindlink
‘Just marking my territory.’ He replied, which made me raise my brows. I already noticed his protective
instinct toward Patrea, but I just assumed it was because he needed her for his n, but it seems I was
wrong. There was more to the story between them than what meets the eye.

PATREA.
I wanted to use my powers to stop Lucius from telling lies to the Alpha of the Silver Crest, but I had
been reserving my energy for the spell I was about to make, so I just let him say whatever he wanted
and hoped he would shut his mouth soon.
After all the pleasantries, we were
escorted toward the middle of the forest,
where a small cottage was located. It had
two bedrooms, and I was given my own
room.
“Will this ce be good enough for the
spell?” Alpha Stone inquired when Alpha Fabius’ Beta had left us.
“Yes, I just need a quiet ce. But are you sure no witches are living in this territory?”
“No. At least that’s what Fabius told me. Will it be a problem if there are?”
“Not really. It’s just that witches can feel if spirits are being summoned if they are in close proximity. I
just don’t want to draw any attention to myself at the moment and be used of using dark
magic to make myself younger.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m old in human years. As Lucius said, I was old enough to be Alpha Fabius’
mother.”
“So I wasn’t hallucinating when you said Althea, the other witch, is your granddaughter? She really is
your granddaughter?”
I nodded my head before my eyes darted to Lucius, who was leaning his back against a tree, looking
bored as usual.
“I’ll just wait for my memory toe back because I have so many questions, but maybe I already
know the answer, and just forgot about it.”
“Yup, good idea. Because I was hoping I could rest for a while before we do the spell.”
“When do you want to do it?”
“Tonight at midnight. Lucius already got
me everything I needed, so I just need a moment to gather my thoughts.
Reversing a spell is way harder than casting it.”
“Is there a way it will go wrong?”
“If another witch or power tampered with your memory while you still had memory loss. Other than that,
the only thing that could go wrong is my ability to reverse it. I need spirits and energy to help me remain
conscious while I reverse it. So I wanted to rest for a while.”
“Okay. I’ll see you then at midnight. But just to remind you, Fabius will send someone to bring us
something to eat, so juste down when you’re hungry.”
“I will. Thank you.” I excused myself and turned around.
I was already halfway up the second floor of the cottage when I felt a presence
behind me.
“What do you need?” I asked as my hand reached for the doorknob but decided not to open it, and I
just shifted my body so I

could see Lucius.
He walked closer and stopped in front of me before he leaned his forearm against the door, and his
face was hovering over mine. He was too near, invading my private space, but I had nowhere to move
or go.
“I just want to say something. Make things clear between us, and the others around here.”
I was about to tell him to move away and give me space, but his words piqued my curiosity so much
that the only response I was able to make was to raise my eyebrows.
“You can’t have sex or be intimate with
the men around here.”
“Excuse me?” I asked, my forehead creasing.
“Yes, you heard me right, witch.” He
shed me a smug smirk before his thumb traced my lips, which made me move my head back only for
it to hit the door. “I won’t hesitate to burn any man
who will touch you, and I won’t care who it is.”
“Stone is mated to your sister, and Kingston is mated too. What makes you think I would destroy
anyone’s bond? I might not be a werewolf, but I do respect…
He interrupted me while I was still talking. “Fabius. He’s not mated, and I saw the way he was gawking
at you. I don’t like it.”
“Did you forget you told him I’m old enough to be his mom?”
“You don’t look like one. And besides,
even if you are, you will undoubtedly fall into the ‘mother I would love to fuck’
category.”
“I don’t know if I should take that as apliment or an insult.”
“Take it in whatever way that will keep you from fucking someone else.”
“What is your point, Lucius?” My hands went up to his chest, stopping him from leaning closer.
“I don’t need to exin myself. I’m sure you understand what I was trying to imply.”
“I’m not your puppet. You can’t tell me what I can and can’t do.”
“You’re not. I agree with that. You’re free to decide what you want to do. I’m just simply stating what will
happen based on your course of action.” He told me in a cold voice before he moved and walked away,
leaving me still aghast at his words.
Did I get away from Lucien just to fall into
another obsession, this time with his son?
This was not going well. Was helping Lucija the right thing to do? Maybe I was putting myself at risk
again. I only had good intentions, but it still resulted in something bad for me. Or was it really that bad?
I knew Lucius must be like his father, but a part of me wanted to believe he might be different from him.
But then, who was I kidding? The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
But how could I exin Lucija?
I let out a sigh as I pushed the bedroom door open. I had to get Lucius out of my system and just help
Luicja and get away from him and his father as soon as I could because I would not fall victim to them
again.
I just hoped I was making the right choice by taking Lucius’ side. I hope he’s here to
help Lucija because if the worst happens, I’ll have to fight him if he turns out to be an enemy, which I
don’t want to do.
