In the forest:

"Can you hurry up son? We are almost there", Snow said placing her hands on her waist as she looks back at her son who looks tired and famished.

"Mum, I don't know why I am doing this. I am so tired and hungry, and we have not found a perfect place yet"

"Tonny, you are the one who told me what the Elder said, so let's make it quick before it gets dark. I'm proud of you son."

"No don't be, I am giving up. How can this be easy? Can't we find another way for him to get better instead of fasting?"

"Nick is your cousin, so we need to help him. You must always remember family comes first"

"But mum if I die because of hunger, it will be because of family. Mum, mummy I'm dying", Snow just chuckles and smiles at her childish son

"You won't be the first person to die from hunger. Antonio, we must do this, stop being childish. You were born for spells and other magic, now act like a real Witch because one day you will be powerful"

"I don't want to be powerful mum, what if I have to starve for the whole month? No mum, I am fine. Let us just finish here and pray this works and he comes back"

"He will come back, and they will both be safe. I am just uninsured that the wolf will be back"

"It has to, his hatred will triple if Neo doesn't come back. I just hope that he forgets about revenge and loves that bastard of a king"

"Everything will work out for Nick, although it won't be a bed with roses instead with thorns. Large thorns, by being mates with the King has brought him a lot of enemies and if anyone gets to know that they have a child on the way, then we are doomed"

"I know mum, let's get this done so that we can go back home"

"Yes, before I can forget. Selena, do you like her?" he can't hide anything from his mother, she always finds out

"Yes, I do"

"What is stopping you from being with her?"

"She is my cousin"

"Nick and Ryan are brothers", the son looks at his mother like she has grown two heads.

He can't seem to understand what she just said

"Look son, it doesn't matter if you two are related. If you love someone you love her, if she loves you back then claim her. Finish and cleared"

"Mum, do you love someone?" she chuckles and smile. She doesn't know what to tell her son.

"I just wanted to give her a chance, but then I got to know that she is now married. She is from the past, the half-witch half-mermaid, she is the mermaid, Queen. Nice woman but now taken"

"Does she love you?" Snow kept on asking herself that question in her head

"I don't know, and I don't care"

"If you love her fight for her"

"I am done with love; it will come along the way. Now I want to focus on you and my family"

"Mum, I love you no matter what. Now let's get this done and save Nick"

"I love you too son", they carried on walking and found a spot in the forest, this spot was deserted and quiet

They started taking out all the materials and chanted the different words together

At the Mermaid Kingdom:

"So what is your plan Nemy? I know you like her, but you don't want to let her know." The Queen asks her friend, she knows he is up to something.

"I just wanted her to show that reaction. You saw how sad she was when she saw you naked and me on top of you. It caused her to have mixed emotions."

"Of course, she will have mixed emotions. She has a crush on me, because of what happened in the past. She doesn't know that I don't like her like that now, since you have set your eyes on her"

"Destiny, I know that."

"Before you kiss her, tell her that we were just friends with benefit"

"I will do that, now I have to convince Nathan to come here to meet her"

"Nathan will agree, he is our friend. Just tell him it is important"

"I have already informed him, and he said he will grace us with his presence"

"I don't think you will be able to get her to come here tomorrow. She is busy, right now"

"She is busy?"

"Yes, she will be free after two days"

"That spell needs two people"

"She has her nephew with her. Don't worry, she is powerful"

"I know, let me go now. I'll see you later My Queen"

Ryder:

"Alpha you are being irresponsible ever since your Beta got ill", I looked at the Councils and I could read all their minds

"I just want that position"

"He is a good alpha but sometimes acts stupid."

"Who let a woman in charge of the pack?"

They were saying different things and I hate being here.

"Are you calling your Alpha irresponsible?" I growl loudly and they all gasp in fear

"Who do you think you are? Isn't Luna supposed to look after the pack too? Isn't she supposed to be treated as an Alpha? I had a little problem that I needed to solve. I'm not apologizing for that. If I am gone, Luna is here. This meeting is over. LEAVE!"

They all scatter, and I can smell fear on them. Sofia was right, many want this title, but ha. I am not going anywhere.

"Ryder, why are the council members rushing out of your office with fear written all over their faces? Ryder", I roll my eyes at her mind link

"Come on baby, I cannot let anyone who disrespects you and I go away freely. I just threatened them, and they will never do that again"

"Baby, they are the Elders, and they deserve respect"

"Okay next time I would talk nicely"

"That I would prefer"

Wife! She knows how to control me by the balls.
