Page 189 of His Blue Moon Princess

“It’s all right,” says the Witch. “No need to fear me, I don’t want to harm you in any way.”

“Are you kidding me? You just did!”

No, she didn’t. As everyone starts to look around, it becomes quite obvious, no werewolf was actually injured. Despite the panic, all the tree roots did was capture some people and trap them on the ground. Maybe about two hundred wolves. Even Lysandra is still growling at some branches, trying to free herself.

“What was that, then?” Asks Nathaniel.

“A little reminder.”

She makes a little movement of her fingers, and the branches suddenly untighten their grip to release Lysandra’s arm. The Purple Moon Alpha growls and massages her wrist with an annoyed look.

“Listening to all this nonsense, I thought it would be good for you all to witness how powerful a Witch can actually be.”

She’s right. As soon as she attacked, most of the werewolves panicked. It took us a few minutes to understand what was going on and look for her. Even the Alphas had a hard time holding their packs together until Damian intervened. This was only a warning... If she had intended to kill, this would have been much worse.

All of the Alphas have now come down and are staring at her with shocked eyes. Tiffany Pearl and Andrew Jones lost their composure.

“I thought all Witches had left Silver City...”

“Indeed, I’m the last one.”

The werewolves around us all start whispering. I hold on to Damian and try to take him back.

Damian, it’s really okay. She’s on our side.

I feel my mate hesitate, but after a while, he shape-shifts back to his human form. Nathaniel hands him a pair of pants, and Damian dresses up, still staring at the Witch and Liam with doubtful eyes. Actually, Liam shape-shifts back, and the Witch gives him his shorts.

“Hi, guys...”

Both his brothers and I glare at him.

“Liam, you idiot! You should have told us you were fine!” I growl.

“Sorry about that. Syl needed me, so...”

“Syl?”

He suddenly takes the Witch’s hand, and the smile she gives him makes no doubt about their relationship. I did not expect this…

Nathaniel is livid.

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me, Liam...”

“I told you guys I had a girlfriend.”

“You never said it was a Witch!”

Liam acts as if it was nothing, he probably expected this kind of reaction from his brothers. Actually, he’s almost standing in front of the Witch, as if ready to shield her at any moment. Nathaniel looks like he can’t even believe what he sees, while Damian frowns and turns to me.

“...You knew?” He asks.

“I... She contacted me a week ago. She said she could help.”

“You believe her?” He asks.

I hesitate a bit. Do I? I look at the Witch, but no matter what, my wolf isn’t the slightest worried by her. My instincts tell me she is not an enemy, I don’t feel any animosity coming from her. I slowly nod.

Damian takes my hand to keep me close to him and turns to face Liam and the Witch. “What should we call you? And why would you help us?”
