Hazel pushed Rafael on the bed and then straddled over him while staring deep into his eyes.

"I dare you to leave me again?" she asked in a provoking voice when he stared at her with desire.

He loved her more when she tried to be dominant and control him. Her eyes were so charming. He stared at her and licked his lips. His intentions were clear but she was not going to be easy on him.

She held his collar and warned, "you are not getting what you want until you clear it to me. Do we even need to go so far to get the result?"  she asked, unsure of where it was going.

He sighed.

"Diana has secrets she is never going to share. We need to find them. So unless you have a potion that could force him to speak the truth, this is the only way to know what has happened. Did you forget that even your familiar had disappeared for so long?" She was not unaware of the risk and dangers lurking around but she was still not ready to share with him.

Her face turned contorted as she looked away since she could not retort him.

He took a deep sigh as he pulled her into a hug and kissed her hair.

"You should not think too much about it. I am going to be with you forever. You are the one I love." he assured when she took a deep breath and nodded her head.

Maybe she was being too sensitive about it.

"The maids are sure that you do not love me anymore. Not only that, even Michael told me a strange story! He said you are the one who helped my mother by taking me away so that she could kill me and then betrayed the witches and killed them too. He is such a strange person." she shook her head as she held him tightly.

A dark glint flashed past his eyes as he held her but said nothing.

"We should leave before she will be doubtful." she sighed but nodded her head when he tried to stand up.

But just as he was leaving, she cried in pain and a yelp escaped her lips when he turned to look at her.

Blood was gushing through her forehead as if her head was split open.

His eyes widened with shock as he ran to her and held her in his arms for support. He kept staring at her head for possible injury but he did not find any, yet the blood was pouring out as if she was beaten badly.

"What is happening? Did you perform some spell that went wrong?" She could not find any other reason for her condition when she shook her head as she held her head but her hands turned wet instantly as she winced.

The pain was unbearable.

"Is it your mother or other witches then?" What else could be the reason? He tore his shirt and tied a bandage around her head but the blood did not stop at all.

It was flowing with such speed that her eyes were closing. She was losing consciousness.

Rafael looked around but did not find the cause. So, he held her in his arms and took her to Anne.

He had always been faster but this time he was running so fast that even the air was creating a strong gale around him.

He only stopped when he reached her room.

Anne had just come out after taking a bath. She was shocked to see Rafael standing in front of her bed but when she saw the condition of Hazel, she completely forgot about his presence and ran to her.

"What happened to her?" she exclaimed with horror as she saw the blood flowing out of her head like a waterfall.

"She had been bleeding for a few minutes. If not for her strong powers, she would have already died but no one attacked her and she did not perform a spell." he explained as he caressed her cheeks while his eyes filled with panic, "can you treat her. I know that physicians would not be able to help her."

She bit her lips as she placed her hands on her forehead and tried to perform a spell of saving someone's life but it did not work.

She performed healing magic then but it did not work too. Her face was turning pale every second but she did not stop trying.

Rafael looked at both of them with a worried face. As the time passed, her face was turning whiter as she lost all the blood.

Anne was looking desperate too. She had tried everything she could. She took a deep breath and performed a spell one last time when the blood finally stopped suddenly as if it was not flowing from start.

Finally relief filled his face as he stood up and took the bandage out from her head.

"Go and bring a warm and wet towel." he ordered her when she raised her hand in the air and a warm towel came to her.

He took it and cleaned her face completely. There was no sign of any kind of wound or injury except a small cut.

"What exactly had happened to her?" he asked, looking at her when she kept staring at hazel.

"It must be some forbidden magic that was kept as taboo so it was not passed down to us." his eyes turned darker instantly when he added.

"So, it must only be the generation of your mother that knows about it." he gritted his teeth as his hands clenched into a fist. "I do not understand why we are even keeping her alive. That is enough, I am going to kill her tonight and end it once and for all.'' He left her room with hasty steps when her eyes widened and she followed him, afraid that he would make any wrong decision.

But she could not match his speed. She teleported herself in the cell of her mother with worry that it was already too late when her eyes widened again.

"What are you doing Rafael?"
