Jasmine was able to find Kelvin where he was tied up. She untie him and helped him out. They returned to their territory. Kelvin apologized for betraying them. He had to explain why he betrayed. He had found out Jasmine wasn't his mate on the day he received the anonymous message. that day, he found out his uncle was the one supporting the vampire brothers. He returned to the demon realm to confront his uncle. That was the last thing he can remember. He only knows that he has been giving out every piece of information he heard from them to his uncle.
"He threatened me," Kelvin said. "He threatened to hurt Jasmine and every one of you if I don't do what he wants"
"You should not have done this" they had told him.
Everyone poured out their mind and they decided it was best to forgive him.
"You have to redeem yourself. You must tell your parent everything that has happened"
Kelvin agreed to do whatever they wanted him to do. So when his parent came, he told them everything. The demon King and Queen apologized for all the troubles their family had caused. They handed over Kelvin's uncle hoping they will carry out the best judgment on him. They also wanted to go with Kelvin but Jasmine and the rest were against it. Kelvin will follow them to the cave and destroy the book together. After another round of apologies, the demon King and Queen returned to the demon realm.
The children set out on their final journey to the cave. All the groups with them were told to stay back while they go and destroy the book. Now they have nothing to worry about and won't be needing much help as all those after the book has been apprehended.
**
They could see the cave a distance away and they shrieked with excitement. Their problem is about to end soon.
"Our problem will be over soon," Jabal said as they kept walking closer.
As they get closer to the cave Jasmine began to hear voices and began to see write-ups, just like they had happened in the waterfall. Fear gripped her spirit as she feared she might lose herself just like she did before. Ariana noticed first.
"Jasmine are you ok?" she asked but Jasmine gave no reply.
She suddenly fell to the ground as the voices increased and so are the spells. The more she shouts the louder the voices in her head. They were saying the different spells she has learned.
"Stop!!" She screamed.
Why can't she stop them from speaking? Why do they keep saying so many words in her head?
Her fingers were so long and she was beginning to hurt herself as she tries to stop the voices in her head. She raised her head to see images. Different spirits and creatures surrounded her, as they tried to lay their hands on her.
"You belong to me," each one of them says. "You are just like me!!! Come to me, Jasmine. Be my habitat. I will give you everything you want. I will make the world yours"
All the spirits and creatures were tormenting her. They knew her heart's desire and were using that against her.
"I think she is being controlled by the spirit in the cave," Ariana said.
Jasmine stood up and began to run. The more she ran, the more the spells that appears and the louder the voices she hears. She kept running hoping she would find solace somewhere. She hoped to see a place that will be quiet so she could think. A place that is not filled with the voices she has been hearing. She wondered if such a place exists here. After running endlessly, she realized she had been running in circles. She kept coming back to the starting point. To the same place, she was before. She bend down and cried.
Why is she been tormented? What is she supposed to do? Learn how to control her powers? Or defeat the voices looming in her head?.? You can't run away from your future, Jasmine. You belong to us. You will end up like us. You are a witch that is not supposed to be born. You should die. Die Jasmine" She heard the voices so clearly. They spoke in one accord.
The voices were loud. She knew she needed to defeat the tormenting demons. But how? Everyone became worried Jasmine was going to lose herself completely.
Jasmine?" Ryan called moving closer to her.
He stopped moving when he suddenly began to see some write-ups which were being assimilated by her. The more the write-ups entered her body, the longer her fingernails and hair become. The writeups were increasing and she seems to be losing herself. He knew if she loses herself more than this, it will be a disaster for the world. He tried to touch her but was thrown back. What is he supposed to do? He wondered.
"I think she needs demon blood or she loses herself completely," Jamal said. He just remembered what Jasmine told them had happened in the waterfall.
"But I have no demon blood," Ryan said. How can he get a demon's blood?
"I-i've got no demon blood" he stuttered.
"Stella said she will lose herself completely," Jamal said.
"What are we going to do?" Jabal asked. He is beginning to worry that something might happen to his sister.
"Jasmine?" Jabal called and she turned. Her eyes were so red. She began to move closer to him and he moved backward.
What is going on? Jabal thought. A shield was suddenly created, preventing her from coming closer to him. It was Ariana who had done that. He was worried Jasmine would hurt him.
"We must get a demon to give her his blood," Ryan said.
"Ariana?". The voice sounded just like Kelvin's own.
"Kelvin?" Ariana called looking around for him. She sighted him a distance away, arms folded.
He looks worried about Jasmine's situation.
"I will give her my blood," he said and they furrowed their brows.
"You will?" Jabal asked.
"She needs royal demon blood. I am willing to give it to her". Everyone was happy Kelvin will be giving his blood to Jasmine. "Ariana, you will have to help out. Use your powers to take the blood off my hand and into her mouth. Please, no one is allowed to use their power on her"
Ryan furrowed her brows. "Why?"
"Because it is our task to watch her overcome the demons herself without offering any help. None of us can help her with our power, no matter how hurtful she looks. Or it will destroy her"
Ryan blinked. Does that involve her also?
"Y-you want me to watch her?"
"If you help her, she will be trapped forever. All you have to do is watch her overcome the demons herself. You can't speak to her either"
"How long will we have to do that?" Jabal asked, feeling uncomfortable about it.
"An hour. If you succeed, she will get back to us"
They sighed. If that is the only way to save her, they are all willing to do that.
"We can remain here for an hour," Ariana said. "We must destroy this book before another desire develops"
"Some of us can stay with Jasmine while the rest goes to destroy the book" Jamal suggested.
"Ryan can't stay back. He is the carrier of the book" Jabal said. "Jamal is the key. He can't stay back too" Jabal said.
"I will do it," Kelvin said.
"I will stay back too," Ariana said. "You and Jasmine can not miss seeing the book destroyed"
In the end, they agreed that Ryan, Jabal, and Jamal will go while Ariana and Kelvin stays back.
"Please take care of her," Ryan said and Kelvin smiled.
"I will" he promised.
"Take care of yourself," Ariana told Jabal and he smiled.
"I will"
After they left. Ariana broke the barrier between them and Jasmine
"Stretch your hand," Ariana said to Kelvin who did as he was told.
Ariana cast some spell and Kelvin felt pain in his hand. A bit of his blood came out of his hand and was transferred into Jasmine's mouth, making her fall to the ground. He fell to the ground too, losing consciousness completely. Ariana sat down to watch Jasmine groan in pain for an hour.
**
When Jabal, Jamal, and Ryan got to the cave, Jamal being the key opened it up with his blood. As they were about to go in, a witch stopped them.
"What will you give to enter into the cave," she said. "You must give to take"
"I will away my wizard power," Jabal said before anyone could say a word.
He had thought about it before coming to this place and had decided he will be the one to give out something for the sake of the rest. Jasmine has given up her Alpha title for his sake. He thought it was best he gave out his too.
The rest tried to talk him out of it but he already made up his mind. Jabal's wizard power was taken away from him and they were allowed to go in. Ryan being the carrier of the book was the only one allowed to go closer to the fire. Throwing the book into the fire they watched it burn into ashes. The cave suddenly began to shake and stones fell to the ground. They could tell the cave was about to collapse.
"The prophecy has been fulfilled" they had a voice. "Go now. The prophecy has been fulfilled"
They ran out of the cave before it finally collapsed. Ariana saw it and turned to face Kelvin.
"Do you think they succeed?" she asked and he nodded.
"I am sure they do"
Jasmine who was feeling pain suddenly stopped falling pain.
"Are you ok?" Kelvin asked and she nodded.
"I think I am. Where are the rest?"
"They left to destroy the book and I think they did" Ariana answered.
Jasmine sighed. This is good news to them. And finally, peace will return to the world.
**
Kelvin returned to the demon realm and his father handed over the realm to him.
"But I don't have a mate yet," he told them.
"You do not need a mate to rule the realm. You have proven that you are mature" his dad told him.
He has decided to step down and let his son take over while he goes on a journey with his wife. But that wasn't what Kelvin was expecting to meet when he get back. He had expected his dad to punish him for working with his uncle.
"I do not deserve this, father. I betrayed..."
"You did nothing wrong" his dad assured him. His dad had thought about it and concluded that Kelvin is innocent. He wanted his son to experience what leadership is. "Send for your friends. Your coronation comes up in two days"
Kelvin sent for the rest and they honored his invitation.
"Congratulation," they told him when they came.
His uncle was brought out after his coronation and he was asked to pass judgment on him. This took Kelvin by surprise. He had thought his das already punished him.
"Your highness, you are the one who suffered the most at the hand of this criminal and traitor here. What judgment do you want for him" an elder asked him.
Kelvin stared at the rest wondering what they will want him to say and if they knew what his judgment will be. They stared at him too, knowing his answer will be death, though they do not know what kind of death she will choose.
"Death on the spot" he replied.
His dad sighed. He wasn't expecting less judgment either. His brother had hurt and killed a lot of people. So he deserves death too.
"I will ask again. Is there a way you want him to be killed on the spot?" the head of the Elders asked.
"I-i want to kill him with a sword myself," Kelvin said.
"Is there anyone against it?" the Elder asked but there was no answer. The Elder sighed. "Since no one is against it, you can carry out the judgment your highness"
Kelvin took the sword and moved closer to his uncle.
"Your highness, at the sound of the drum, you pass your judgment," the head of the Elder said.
When the sound of the drum was heard, Kelvin tapped his foot slightly on the floor. He raised the sword and pierced it through his uncle's chest.
His uncle coughed out blood. Kelvin deep the sword deeper until life finally left his body.
"It is over, Kelvin" he cooed, to himself.
Kelvin removed his hand from the sword and returned to his seat.
"Long live the King" the people cooed.
**
A FEW YEARS LATER
Peace has returned to the world and everything has returned to normal. The children are no more kids but had matured into men and women. They had finished school and most of them were married.
Jabal and Ariana, have been ruling the Silvermoon pack together. Together, they had conquered so many other packs. Jabal is known as the Alpha of all Alphas because of how many packs he had conquered. Instead of making them slaves, Jabal allowed each Alpha to keep their title but reign over them all. Many other packs pledge their loyalty to them. Jamal became the Beta of the Alpha of all Alphas. He was considered the Beta of all Betas. At Jamal's wedding with Pearl, Jabal gave four packs to him as a gift. He was to rule over them as their Alpha and he also remained his Beta.
Jasmine and Ryan had gone to the Munar pack and are doing so well. Kelvin returned to the demon realm too but makes sure to visit at any chance he gets.
**
SILVERMOON PACK
"J-Jabal" Ariana stuttered slightly. He was quiet and was just staring at her. "Why aren't you saying anything?" She asked, curiosity eating her up.
Jabal transformed into his black wolf with red eyes. Just like the demon bear he was called. His eyes were like fire. Ariana watched him move slowly backward, before dashing deep into the forest. She ran after him, calling his name. She could tell he wanted her to play with him.
"Jabal van you stop joking around. Don't you have a meeting in an hour"
Jabal stooped running and turned to face her. She walked closer to him and touched his fur. Jabal transformed back into his human form and she handed over his cloth to him.
"You got me worried. Why did you not say a word to me!"
"Wanted to play with you but I don't think you are in the mood"
She chuckled. "You should stop playing around and go get ready for your meeting"
"You are coming with me right?"
"No. I have to visit Jasmine and Ryan. You should ask Jamal to go with you"
"He took a break. I think he wants to spend some time with Pearl"
"He deserves it"
Jabal nodded. "He does"
"Get going," Ariana said and he groaned slightly before leaving.
After Jabal left she smiled. Just a few days ago, she rejected to be the leader of the red-haired witches and followed Jabal to his new pack to fulfill her destiny. She can still remember what she saw in the waterfall. She remembers Stella telling is Jabal is going to be the new alpha of the Silvermoon pack and the alpha of all alphas. That he will lead all the packs and the world to victory and with him, peace will return. But he will be needing her help. His life is going to be in danger and she alone can help him be who he is supposed to be. She told her she will have to forfeit her destiny which is to be the queen of the red-haired coven.
"Ari. You have to make your choice. Look towards the ray of light. You've got a short time to make your choice. If you choose the wrong choice you will be trapped forever in this waterfall. But if you choose the right choice, you get the pass and will return" Stella had told her.
"How long do I have?" she had asked.
"Less than an hour. Do remember that Jabal's death will have no effect on you and that won't stop the world from moving to a peaceful place"
She furrowed her brows. What does that mean? If Jabal's death won't affect the world or her, then she should choose her life over his. But would she get a new mate? Won't her life be empty without him?
She shrugged. She is not a werewolf. The mate bond will have little or no effect on her. But what about his twin?
"What effect will it have on Jasmine?"
"Their lives are linked together. His death may not lead to her death but will make her lose absolute control over herself. If you don't choose before the time ends, you won't only be trapped here. Jabal will lose his life and the red-haired coven's members will go into complete extinction. Their existence depends on the choice you make. I will leave now. Make your choice Ariana. Your time starts now"
She remembered being in a state of confusion after Stella left. It was difficult to choose. She decided to weigh her options.
It would be nice to be the queen of the red-haired witches and the ruler of all the covens. To be famous is not a bad idea but with or without her, the red-haired coven will remain. She had thought but they can always have someone to rule over them.
But what about Jabal? If he dies, Silvermoon will not be resurrected. Jasmine's life will be in danger and though it won't affect her that much. But she can't let her friends suffer so much for the decision she makes.
She knew she needed to support Jabal to be a better alpha. She can be his luna and that will make her famous too. But she had so many thoughts.
What if Jabal betrays her? What if he rejects her after she helps him? She had every reason to choose her life over his. But something kept her back. She remembered what Jabal had told her and all the promises he has made to her.
She sighed. She would take the risk and save him. Even when she doesn't know if that is the right choice for her, she decided to give it a shot.
Without looking back, she runs towards Jabal with one thing in mind. That she would rather save him and not be the ruler of the red-haired witches.
Now, thinking about her choice of the waterfall and a few days, she has no regrets. Her phone rang and she checked who it was.
"Jasmine" she called.
"Everyone one of us is here," Pearl said.
"And Jasmine?"
"Ryan is bringing her over. They should be here soon"
"Good. I already sent Jabal your way" Arians said. "I will join you all soon"
It is Jabal and Jasmine's birthday and they had planned a surprise party for them. It was also an opportunity to meet with the rest. King Kelvin will be coming over too and honor his friends' invitations. Arianaa ended the call and smiled. After the book was destroyed not only did they return peace to the world, but they also found happiness.
