THE DESTINED MATES

Chapter 3

The old witch

"bastard!". Clara cursed as she watched the car roll away. She couldn't believe that this guy took the opportunity when she was so desperate to rip her off. She trudged her luggage to the mansion.

"Ding ding", she pressed the bell. The door was opened by a middle aged woman looking like in her early fifties.

"Hello, welcome child you must be Clara right?". Clara nodded her head in acknowledgement.

"I have been expecting you child. Come in". She helped Clara with her luggage. "The house is divided into four different parts. You have the front left side upstairs", she continued as they climbed upstairs. Soon they reached the apartment. It's a parlour and bedroom. The parlour looked huge and even the bedroom size is a little large for a normal room.

Her apartment has already been furnished. She wasn't a bit surprised though. Her mother had bought this apartment ahead for her so she must have also requested for it to be furnished. In the least, money isn't what they lack...

*******************************************

Inside the deep forest stood an old dilapidated house. The silhouette of two men could be seen walking towards the house. They were wearing blacks . One of the men had a scar across his face and looked very ugly. The other had handsome features and looked to be in the late thirties.

"Dorathor, I heard the Divine Lord saying it's about to begin. Do you think we'll push forward this time? Or will it always have been before, like throwing a stone inside the river Azusa, it will sink in the bottom of the river without causing even the slightest ripple." The handsome man asked his colleague, the scar faced man.

"Indeed Lonan. This time around even the old witch Evelyn, has made a move. Dorathor replied.

Lonan gasped. "The old witch made a move!". This is more serious than before. Perhaps the coven is putting more strength to the plan. But before we do anything, the first thing to be done is to get rid of the most powerful force in Osaka, "The stargate wolf pack".

"Haha, the ritual we performed last week actually has something to do with that. I won't tell you the details though. Just know that the local Lord will be handled very soon. Then we can spread our claws towards the foreign forces.

"How soon", Lonan asked.

"Soon enough", Dorathor muttered in his breath. There was no way one could tell the emotions on his face. They walked towards the dilapidated house and entered inside. Inside the house. An old woman was sitting on her chair. She had an evil grin on her mouth. Her sharp eyes made out the two men walking towards her. She gave a weird evil smile.

"Greetings to the old witch", Dorathor greeted her nonchalantly.

"Greetings to the greatest witch that ever lived, Evelyn the viper". Lonan flattered.

The old woman addressed as a witch gave Lonan an approving nod off her head. Turning to Dorathor, she gave him an admonishing look. "So Dorathor, you no longer have respect for this old woman. Didn't your mother teach you how to respect your elders".

Dorathor waved his hands, "drop the art Evelyn. What is your next move".

Evelyn's mouth curved. "Get rid of the protector". He might cast a spell that will disrupt our work. She said with a wicked look in her eyes.

"That is also good. But you know the magicians of Lothar couldn't be underestimated", Dorathor reminded her.

"We don't have to fight the whole of Lothar, we can just deal with the protector". Lonan added.

The old witch smiled brightly. "Kid you look good, who are you?".

"You don't even know the important members of the coven, yet you want to lead us to this important mission, are you sure you know what you are doing Evelyn". Dorathor mocked.

The grin in Evelyn's face intensified, looking very evil. "You really think too lowly of me". The thing is without me you lots are nothing Dorathor. You couldn't even be in favour of the Divine Lord since you have been working with him all these years, yet the Divine Lord took it to himself to specially invite me hahaha". The witch laughed maniacally.

Dorathor's face turned ugly. Although the witch had exaggerated her words and he hadn't completely lost favour with the Divine Lord. The fact remains that Evelyn will be chosen before him no matter what. And the worst of the whole thing is the fact that he wasn't the only one vying for the Divine Lord's favour. He had other competitors too. Even though none of them is at the level of Evelyn. He could barely contend with them.

"I am Lonan. One of the vampire Lord's under the Divine Lord". Lonan introduced himself in order to avoid further arguments between the two.

The witch grinned and gave Lonan a kind smile. "What an interesting young man. I have things I want to do. Will you be willing to work with me? Don't worry I will do you well, with me you can even get the chance of stepping on Dorathor and the rest".

Dorathor grinned his teeth. Lonan was hesitant but only for a while. "What do you want me to do, Evelyn? ''

Evelyn smiled. This man seems to have more sense behind his handsome features. He knows who to follow and what to do and above all very decisive. Such a guy could be a very useful pawn.

"It is settled then. Have you heard of StarGate wolf Pack second Luna?. Wasn't it said that she was blessed by the moon goddess? She paused looking at Lonan intensely.

Lonan nodded in understanding. "Indeed some things need to be gotten rid of. I will be taking my leave, great witch". Lonan bowed slightly in a bid to leave.

"I believe the strength of your vampire coven will be enough". The witch's old voice sounded behind him as he left the scene. Dorathor's face was ugly but he didn't say a thing. After all, Lonan was actually not his pawn.

"Tell the rest to gather", the witch's voice echoed as she dropped her head in deep sleep...
