Chapter 124
“What’s the difference? I thought you were a werewolf just like
Blake?”
“Warlocks are male. Witch is a very feminine word. Has Blake not
explained all this to you? He is a werewolf. I didn’t get the birthright.
I didn’t get the wolf. He got it. Even though, yes, I have some of the
powers of a werewolf, I can’t shift into one. So, Blake permitted me to
practice witchcraft. I got trained by the best, and today I’m one of the
most powerful warlocks known to the magic world” he looked proud
and annoyed at the fact that his brother was superior.

“Yes, he did mention that first bit. Just not the warlock part. Is that
how you put Vince to sleep before? You cast asleep?”
“Yes. Taylor had asked no harm to come to her stupid brother. If I
had known he tried to rape you, I wouldn’t have promised Taylor
anything.” He rolled his eyes.
“Wait, how did Taylor know Vince was there?” This was way too
much information to digest.
“Because Vince called her asking where you were. Apparently, Blake got home to see if you went home without telling anyone and when he got to Taylor’s apartment, she was on the phone with Vince. She

knew something was up with the way he was asking about you. I was
already in Greenwoods. So when the spell led me to the nightclub, I
told Blake I’d get you” he wouldn’t look at me directly. What was his
problem?
“Thank you for finding me. For saving me and for taking me home,”
I said sincerely. That’s what he wanted, to be thanked.
He finally looked at me, his eyes dilating again.
“Here, you left this behind” he held out my engagement ring.
That’s what he had stopped to pick up.
I quickly took it from him and put it on. Even though I knew Blake
would have happily replaced the ring, to me it was more about the
sentiments the ring held.
“Thank
you. Thank
Thank you very much.” I gave him a sincere smile.
“How’d you know it was me? I’ve never had a girl know the
difference before” he narrowed his eyes at me.
“Blake’s more warm and fuzzy. You’re more cold and distant. The
way you present yourself, Blake isn’t like that. I know him.”

“So that’s what true love is, huh? The number of times I funked Kora
while pretending to be Blake is astonishing. The never knew the
difference, and they had been together so long” He laughed and
looked down at his phone.
“Well, that’s not going to happen with me. I know! But what I can’t
understand is why you don’t repulse me? Is that some kind of spell
too?” I crossed my arms.
Max’s head snapped up to look at me.
“What?” He asked, surprised.
“Yeah, Blake said that the mark would make your touch repulsive.
But you were just carrying and holding me. There was nothing
repulsive about it. If anything, I felt the same calmness I do when I’m
with Blake. Did you do something? Because when Vince had his hands
on me, I felt gross, and it wasn’t just because he tried to mess with
me.”
Max’s face went pale. He stared at me with a cold expression. Did I
say something wrong? Was this not meant to happen?
“Boss, we’re here,” the driver said, interrupting whatever was
cooking inside Max’s head.

I turned and saw the enormous black gates opening. We were at the
Cooper Mansion. My heart rate picked up. I leaned forward, trying to
see better as the driver drove up the driveway. The stairs started to
appear, and I could see a tall figure standing at the bottom. As the car
got closer, the figure became clearer and almost jump out of the
moving vehicle.
“Easy. Let’s not do anything stupid,” Max warned. He placed his
hand on my thigh, holding me in place. A little warmth spreads
through me at his touch. What the hell is going on here?!

As soon as the car stopped leaped out of the door and ran towards
Blake. He opened his arms and engulfed me in a tight hug.
I started to cry and quickly buried my face into his chest. I took a
deep breath in, taking in his scent. His warm embrace melted away all
my emotions, and I felt safe again.
