As a puppet, Charlotte received that silver knife with a smile and broke the necklace around her neck obediently. She didn't even spare a glance at Eric, aimed the weapon towards her neck and locked her gaze with Casper's dubious one.
'Anything for you, Casper."
With that, she slashed her neck, blood gushed out of her wound. An involuntary howl came out of Eric's mouth. The grim darkness prevailed before his eyes; the weakness of their bond shattered his soul.
When he removed Melinda's mark from his neck, he didn't feel anything. But now a simple slash on their mark hurt like hell. He couldn't even scream out his agony. Overwhelmed by helplessness, this torment was beyond his endurance level.
On the contrary, the smile on Charlotte's face was pleasant like winter's sun. She raised that blade again.
'It's enough, Star."
Casper hastily grasped the blade and threw it away.
'The removal of this mark will kill you. You are my beloved. I am not a heartless to hurt you like that."
Satisfied by the result of his experiment, Casper freed her other hand and tilted his head to kiss her. Eric couldn't see what happened, but an earth-shattering screech reverberated in the chamber.
'How dare you?"
It turned out that as soon as Casper released her other hand, Charlotte took a one eighty-degree turn and slit their jugglers simultaneously. She punched him in the face, roaring in fury.
'You are the worst case of a Vampire's darkness, Casper. Instead of fighting against it, you become a slave to it. You just want to use the sacred bond of soulmates to absorb more power from it.
I have never seen such a selfish man in my life."
She rushed towards Eric's cage and searched for a door, but there was none.
'How did you get lock in it?"
Charlotte cried out in misery, as the wounds on her neck had injured her soul badly. Dumbstruck by the sudden change in premises, Casper got up with great difficulty. He wasn't expecting a change like this in Charlotte's lovesick behavior.
'Why? How can you resist magic?"
Charlotte grabbed the bars and pulled them with full force.
'I was never under your control. It was a little try to earn your trust, so I can sacrifice my life to end your meaningless existence. I learned it from you, Casper, you taught me to use lies for backstabbing. Fortunately, I am a fast learner."
She turned towards Casper and proceeded with her statement.
"You are right, Casper. I am your beloved and only I can kill you by sacrificing my life to Heaven. I'll never let you hurt my Eric, you can go to hell."
'This is impossible. Ramla's magic never failed."
.
'It's true, Your Majesty. My magic never fails."
The air became cold for a second, that frosty voice sent shivers down their spines. With a sudden beam of light, Ramla landed on the floor. She glanced at the scene before her and squinted her eyes. Her blazing eyes were filled with endless acrimony.
'I was the one who performed the soul purifying ritual for Luna. My connection with the Vampire Kingdom was severed the day when I realized that Julian was my mate."
She flicked her hand and conjured an invisible trap around Casper, and tended towards Eric and Charlotte.
'Use this. It will stop your bleeding."
Ramla handed Charlotte a white cloth and observed the silver cage keenly. She summoned her grimoire and searched for a while; her brows arched in a crescent moon.
'This is insane!"
She closed the book and supported Charlotte on the couch. Her eyes emitted blue fire, which was directed towards that prison.
'How did you survive, Ramla? Your magic was sealed."
The door of the room flung open; a petite figure flashed beside Casper to counter Ramla's blue fire.
'It's on the record that you are the last member of the Blue Swans Coven. How did you recover?"
The corners of Ramla's lips curled up in a challenging smile. She glared at Lisa, who was trying to figure out the spell which was used to restrain her master.
'No matter how strong the dark magic is, nature's servants always have a way to counter it. I should have reported to Alpha about you, Lisa.
It was my mistake to trust your words. You were not a beauty in distress that Alpha Eric saved from the pet shop. You were the spy in the Silver Moon Pack."
Charlotte's head spun with the whirlwind of the revelations. Her main focus was Eric, whom she was trying to reach by bending the fine net of the silver with her sharp nails.
With the soothing energy of Ramla's healing cloth, Eric was also able to open his eyes, their bond was sending Charlotte's healing energy to him.
Irked by Ramla's statement, Lisa stepped forward and lashed out with her dark energy.
'It was my mistake not to kill you. You were blinded by the useless mate-bond and betrayed your master. You are a traitor."
Ramla created a barrier for Alpha and Charlotte and opposed her evil aura with her pure mystical powers.
'I was never a slave of King Casper. Late King Bahman saved my mother, and she swore to protect his child. I supported him in his mission to win the affection of his beloved, which was not wrong.
But when he planned to use her as a power source and denied my request to abandon his darkness, that was it for me. I don't serve the followers of the Satan. It's against my magic and upbringing."
Out of the blue, a flying dagger hit Ramla, she lost her focus and got injured by the vile energy.
'Kill her. She doesn't deserve to live anymore."
Casper ordered coldly, Lisa took advantage of her injury and liberated Casper. He moved towards Charlotte swiftly and snatched that piece of fabric.
Before he could say anything, Charlotte kicked him in his balls and broke a vase from the table on his head.
'Don't touch me. Stay away!"
In the meantime, Ramla's wound healed magically, she shot up and sneered.
'This is the power of mate-bond, it's worth abandoning a treacherous life. Even your silver dagger cannot hurt me."
This time, she used that same weapon and covered it with her spell. It glided towards Casper's heart magically and plunged into it. With a loud scream, he came to the floor, unable to move his body.
'You, bitch!"
Lisa swayed her arms, spun her body like a tornado and shot hundreds of fire arrows at her opponents.
'No one can escape from my deadly powers, Ramla. You are merely level one nature's witch. It's a fact that only dark magic can achieve greatness. You all will die with your nonsense today."
