Chapter 6

Luciana's POV

Miss Arielle walked in my front of me and I trailed behind her, looking like a slave. It literally looked like that.

She was dressed elegantly and had a great body figure while I looked like a beggar. I wore clothes that were beyond average and I was just grateful that she paid no attention to it.

We arrived at the entrance of the building and when the automatic doors opened, I gaped at the internal structure of the building.

It was just a fashion store, so why did it look like this?

I had to stop to ensure that I could capture everything with my eyes.

"Cub!" Miss Arielle called, snapping me out of my reverie. "Stop gawking and follow me, we're going to the fifth floor. "

I swallowed and followed her swiftly to the elevator.

The elevator doors opened and the handsome man was in the elevator. He stood like a cold and wicked king with his bored expression and his hands tucked deep in his pocket.

Miss Arielle immediately flew inside and clung to him.

I gingerly stepped into the elevator, like making any sound would make me lose my life. I moved to the left side of the elevator while they stood on the right.

Miss Arielle was still clinging unto him after a few seconds like a Koala and I couldn't help but wonder.

"Is this how couples behave? Clinging onto each other in public." I shook my head."I don't think so, my parents never did this, at least not publicly."

"Hmm? What did you say?" Miss Arielle asked, and I covered my mouth.

I didn't realize I was speaking out."Nothing." I said immediately.

"What're you doing here?" She asked the man.

"Aren't you happy to see me?"

"Of course, I am. I'm always happy whenever I see you but I know that you won't be here without a reason. "

"Sheba came to see me." He said.

"Her again? What did she want?" Miss Arielle asked, courting a small frown.

"The witches are coming back, she claims it is all part of the prophecy. She says the prophecy is gradually being fulfilled."

"Prophecy?" I blurted.

They both looked at me like they were unaware of my presence.

I could feel myself shrinking gradually with the way they looked at me.

The elevator's door opened when we got to the fifth floor and Miss Arielle turned to face me.

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon. Don't try to explore anywhere Cub, I'll know." She said, raising her index finger.

I sighed and walked, asking for directions to her office.

I entered her office and saw a girl who looked to be seventeen years old sitting on the couch with headphones.

She raised her head slowly to look at me."Who are you? "

"My name is Arielle, I'm new and I'm Miss Arielle's assistant. "

"Aunty Arielle got a new assistant? " She said to no one in particular."Although, I do wonder why Manolo would go on maternity leave when she's just two weeks pregnant. I even find it extremely hard to believe that she's pregnant. "

She continued rambling to herself and I was about to sigh because she was totally ignoring me when she suddenly walked up to me and began sniffing me.

"Why do you smell like her?" She asked me.

I was confused so I just kept quiet and slowly moved back.

"I need to confirm something , so just stay still." She said, moving closer.

"Why do you smell like my mother?"

Duncan's POV

I watched the girl scurry off, away from the elevator, and I could feel my sanity coming back.

Her scent no longer affected me like it did in the morning.

Arielle and I got off at the seventh floor and walked into a room with golden doors.

There, Manolo and Damon were already waiting.

I furrowed my brows."Thought you said Manolo was on maternity leave. "

Arielle chuckled out loud. "So, even you were fooled. The lie must have been very efficient."

Arielle and Manolo looked at each other and then grinned mischievously like eight year olds.

"I told you it would work." Manolo said, stretching out her hand to receive money from Arielle who had a smirk on her face.

"Why did you lie about her?" I asked, pointing to Manolo.

Arielle's face suddenly became serious."She saw Danielle, your brother's wife."

I didn't understand what she meant so I kept quiet since I knew she would explain further.

"She had an encounter with Danielle. The mother of Keira."

"Danielle?" I questioned, "but isn't she dead?"

"No, she's not." Manolo answered." I saw her,and we had a fight. She beat me up so bad I had to be hospitalized."

"Danielle? " I asked again, disbelief evident in my voice."But, Danielle's dead. I saw her die. She burned to death. I made sure of it."

"Well, right now, she's alive and kicking." Arielle said with a sigh.

"That's not possible." I rebutted.

"If what Sheba told you about the witches coming back is true, and Danielle suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it's best we prepare for war." She paused in thought,"it'll be bloody for sure"

"If that's the case, then the supreme alpha will need to come together."I sighed out loud.

Arielle chuckled."I just hope you do not bump into James or whatever he's called."

"That's my utmost wish also." I said, with a small frown.

"Send the wolf bird Damon, the alpha will know there's something important going on." I said, instructing Damon.

"The best we can do is to pray that our guess is wrong." Arielle said, rubbing her temples.

Jericho's POV

I sat on the purple coloured couch and placed my feet on the center table. I could feel someone glaring at me. It was Celina.

"What'd I do?" I asked, raising my brows.

She looked at me and then looked at my feet on the table and then I understood. She was disgusted. I immediately removed my feet and she straightened her face instantly.

She was indeed scary. Only a psycho would be able to change their emotions as quickly as that, at least, that what I saw on the internet.

"When will Luciana be back?" I asked, yet."

I nodded slowly.

"What would you like to eat, dear cousin." She said, winking at me.

"Anything you have, cousin Celina." I said, winking back at her.

Luciana's POV

I was completely creeped out. The girl kept on moving closer and asking me why I smelt like her mother.

Gee! I didn't even know what I smelled like.

"My mother is dead, why do you have her scent?" She asked again, and I could feel myself about to pull out my hair.

"What the heck is wrong with you? I don't even know you, not to talk of your mother. First off, I was told I had no scent or rather, it was hidden and now, you're here asking me why I smell like your mother. I don't even know my scent, I had no idea I had a scent until today, and now, you're asking me why I smell like your mother? I don't know! I dont fucking know!" I yelled, ranting in frustration.

Arielle, the handsome man, and two other people I didn't know walked in and met us.

The handsome man was the first to speak.

"She has your mother's scent lingering on her?" He asked.

Arielle sighed."This is just great, when I was about to advise you to go out and touch grass. Why don't I ever get the chance to be cool!"

The handsome man rolled his eyes and faced the girl back."Kiera, are you sure? You smell Danielle on her?" He asked, pointing to me.

She nodded."I smell my mother on her."

I was totally confused. Who the hell was Danielle? In the end, I stood in the middle of the attention, looking like a guinea pig.
