YUNIFER'S

POV

While waiting for Lawrence, Ishid, and Asher to come back, I sat on the sofa together with Drake, Kale, and Havoc who seemed to be raising the topic about the enemy who attacked me

Seeing them talking about the possibility of the man who attacked me being a witch, I grabbed a potato chip and started crunching it while listening to their conversation.

"From what I know, witches were extinguished since history. I've never seen a real witch in my whole life and that's why it made me believe that witches were just a myth that only existed in the book. However, from what I have heard, witches had a powerful ability and when it comes to making potions and using magic, they could outmatch an Alpha. Magic and making potions are their strength. They are good at that. I've never believed in those things, especially since we, werewolves are much more focused on using our strength and we aren't curious about magic at all. How much more about witches that we have never seen before." Drake calmly explained as he took a sip of his cup.

Havoc also nodded his head, seeming to agree with Drake's words. "Indeed, what you said had a point. However, yours were different from mine since I've never seen nor heard about witches before so the word witch is a bit unfamiliar to me. Although I sometimes read books about history, I never come across a topic about witches."

While listening to their discussion at the same time, crunching the chips, I also give my opinion too.

"Well, I had always believed in witches ever since I was young, all because my grandma was a witch. She is my mother's daughter but my mother wasn't able to inherit grandma's ability as a witch since my mother's ability manifested from his father. That was why grandma was the only witch in our bloodline."

"Grandma loves to tell stories, especially to me back then, and from what I remember, she would always say that she was the last witch who was alive because, in their time, all the witches are considered evil so they would be crucified and be burned if they were found out that they were witches. Grandma told me that all of her friends and even her love once died when she was a child, watching their bodies being burned to ashes. She told me that she once hated humans and werewolves. She vowed to do the same thing that they have done towards her loved ones."

"But things had changed ever since he met grandpa. Grandpa is a human and just like what I said earlier, Grandma hated grandpa because he is a human. But as the day goes by, her perception changed and with the help of grandpa, she was able to change and hold back her temper. Ever since that day, she had lived her life hiding her true identity together with grandpa by her side. She never lets anyone other than her family and me, know about her secret that she is a witch."

After I finished explaining it to them, I took a sip of my cup as I turned blind-eye and was oblivious to the way they looked at me, rather I focused on the snacks that were placed on the table.

It wasn't until I heard Kale's gentle voice ring around my ears, asking questions.

"This is just my hypothesis but... what if your grandma is still alive and she didn't die? After all, just based on what you narrated, your grandma seemed to be a powerful person with strong abilities." Kale softly said while looking at me, and there were worries plastered in his eyes as if he was afraid that the word he just uttered right now would anger me or make me recall the past painful events that happened in my life.

I softly smiled and shook my head. "It would be nice if that would happen but I was there when grandma died. She willingly chooses to die herself by saving the clans back then from the hands of the previous Alpha King. She fought with them too and protect us too. I had always known that grandma had always been wishing and willing to let death befall her especially after grandpa died but because there was someone who was holding back from killing herself, which is me and her family, she reluctantly tried to live even though she doesn't want to. It wasn't until she found the right time for her death."

My eyes slowly reddened especially after recalling the scenes that kept me awake every night, made me want to forget about what happened back then and wished that it was just a dream, a bad dream.

"I watched her heart being stabbed by the sword of the previous Alpha King. I was there... only watching the show without having the ability to help grandma." I almost choked up my last word but it was a good thing that I managed to hold back the tears from falling down my cheeks.

Drake's hands which were wrapped around my waist, tightened as he pulled me closer to him and embrace me gently.

His warmth almost made me teared up. I could feel his heat that spread through my skin just by this contact and made me realize that he was alive. He was alive.

After all, all of my loved ones whom I hugged were either cold, stiff, or bloody.

Now that slowly, those memories that I had always buried deep inside of my heart and locked tightly so that I won't remember the pain that I felt on that day were slowly themselves ever since my soul was in complete, slowly replayed in my head like a movie just got rewind and a flashback.

Although some of the events that I remembered were foggy, blurry and some of them were even cut off, it still couldn't erase the despair that I felt that time when I helplessly watched my clan, my loved ones being slayed so easily despite being strong.

At that time, I was also considered as strong since my grandma said that I was born strong and unmatchable, get at that time I felt weak. I felt hopeless. I couldn't do anything to help them.

I couldn't do anything to save my loved ones, which is the saddest and most tragic part that happened in my life.

I also watched my gentle yet strong bedridden mother who was together with my father who looked strict and cold on the outside but gentle on the inside, died while holding each other in their arms.

I watched my relatives who were always sweet and treated me with care die one by one while trying to save me while trying to remind me to run away. They were all screaming to drive me out of the clan to save myself.

But at that time, how could I leave the clan? I don't want to leave the clan and was determined to fight until death. I always knew that was the time that I would surely die but aside from being afraid of pain, I was also slightly relieved thinking that I would die and be buried together with my clan.

Because honestly, it would be better if that would happen.

I don't exactly know what happened next at that time but one thing that I know is that I was almost killed by the Alpha King to the point that my soul split into two.

I can't exactly remember why I was fighting hard to open my eyes and continue to live which was why I was able to live.

I don't know who help me that time but I felt like someone lend me a hand.

After all, I wouldn't become a small baby who lost her memories and even met Cilda after becoming a stone for many years. It wasn't until the stone broke which leads me to be able to open my eyes and start seeing Cilda as my mother since I was naive and innocent back then and doesn't have any memories of my original life.

I pursed my lips as I felt Drake's warm hand gently brush off my head, trying to comfort me.

"D-Drake... I'm fine now..." I softly said while tapping his shoulder to let me go.

Although his hold slightly loosened he never intended to let me go.

I glanced at Kale and smiled at him to let him know that I am fine.

"I'm sure that grandma already dies. After all, she wished to be dead and to be with my deceased grandfather. However, what is strange is that a witch was still alive when my grandma clearly said that she was the last witch who was alive." I softly said as I took a deep breath to calm myself.

I only managed to calm down after seeing the chips on the table. My hand couldn't help but stretch out to grab some chips and started eating them while talking to them.

Havoc, on the other hand, brows furrowed as he looked at me and couldn't help but asked the following words. "But how come there's a witch who was still alive? They weren't killed nor extinguished just like what your grandma said and it even tried to kill you just now. I even sent my subordinates and Drake's subordinates to investigate the traces of witches."

Hearing this, I nodded my head and was slightly relieved about it.

Just when I was about to open my mouth to continue to ask if he had any lead about the witches before I could do so, I heard someone call out my name. "YUNIFER! SISTER!"

When I look back, I found Asher who was holding a brown bag that seemed to be full of candies, rushing towards my direction with a big smile plastered on his lips as his eyes were shining brightly while calling out my name.

"Asher!" My mouth curved lightly as I also rushed towards him and hugged him tightly, leaving Drake who stared at his arms that he used to hold my waist.

Asher gently put his paper bag on the ground before he hugged me tightly.

"I missed you! I heard that something comes up and that you were attacked by someone!" He loudly said while looking at me with worry.

I raised my head and glanced at Lawrence who guiltily avert his eyes and faked his cough.
