ALEXANDER'S POV
I looked at Azrael shocked for a second before I looked back at my father.
"How did you know I wanted you to call her?" I asked him, and he looked at me back with an equally confused gaze.
"He didn't call me. I came back on my own. Where is my goddaughter, Victoria." Azrael asked, her voice holding a strange power.
"She...I don't know that. I thought she would be in the mansion, but when I came here, I found didn't find her. I was going to find her now before you showed up." I said, standing straight.
"She...did she...I felt like she changed. Is that true? Did she changed into her wolf form?" She asked, a bit fidgety with a hint of urgency clear in her eyes.
"She did. She changed into the legendary wolf. Did you know that she wasn't a lantern? That she was the reincarnation of Carla?" My father asked, however, rather than answering him, she looked at me.
"This is not good. I told her to only change into her wolf form and use those powers when it's a life and death situation for her. There must be something that brought her to change. What it can be? I need to find it. I need to find her." She started rambling on her own while pacing back and forth on the pavement.
"Miss Azrael! Stop! We need to find-"I started holding her hand, however, as soon as my hands touched her, she immediately jerked me away, looking at me with that menacing look before her eyes softened for a brief second.
"You are under a spell?!" She exclaimed, more than asked.
"Yes. It has been like this for the past few days. I was spelt by a witch called Patrick. He had been keeping me locked in a dungeon to-" I stopped, my eye sweeping on Robert for a brief second, who had his head bowed down in shame.
"It's not that. You were spelt now too. The sacrifice spell." Azrael said, touching my hands again.
"What do you mean by were? He is not spelt anymore? And what's this sacrifice spell?" My father asked, making me look at Azrael again as I waited for her explanation.
"A sacrifice spell is a spell performed by witches that they perform to gain something big from the outcome. It includes sacrificing the life of a living person. The powerful the person, the more is the result, thus, humans are never used for such spells. You said it was Patrick? How this can be possible, he is not even that old. And by were, I mean you were under a spell earlier. But it looks like someone took the spell upon herself for you." Azrael said, looking pained.
"What do you mean someone took it?" I asked horrified, wishing that what was I thinking wasn't true.
"It means, Victoria took the spell upon herself for you. But she isn't dead yet, or they would've come here, I mean, I would've felt it. We can still save her." Azrael exclaimed.
"Do anything you can and want to save her. We will support you in every way. First, find where she is." I ordered in my king tone, and she immediately nodded.
Closing her eyes, she raised her hands in the air before a purple coloured magma started to circle her body.
"She is somewhere in the forest. There is a cliff. I can hear the sound of water flowing. It sounds like a river. There are long trees, but she is somewhere in the clearing. There is also a small birdhouse."
"I know that place. She is talking about the clearing near the Green River." Daniel said, and before I could say anything, I saw him changing into his wolf form and running towards the forest.
Nodding at Azrael, I followed Daniel, hoping she would reach Victoria earlier than us and save her.
It was a more than thirty minutes run. This was probably the first time, I wished I had the teleporting power of a witch.
Running as fast I could, I outrun Daniel before changing into my wolf form.
After ten minutes of running at my full speed, I saw Azrael standing at some distance with my sharp sight and couldn't help but squint my brows when I saw her standing there doing nothing.
As I was nearing the scene, I couldn't help but feel a bad omen creeping my heart as the strong smell of Victoria embraced with her blood entered my senses.
'Please let her be safe. Please be safe.' I kept on chanting in my head as I noticed the amount of blood that was there on the ground near the cliff.
"Where is she?" I asked Azrael, who was gazing down at the river with a concerned gaze.
"I asked, where is she!!" I shouted, bringing her out of her trance state, however, what she did next was out of my expectations.
She directly jumped down from the cliff and disappeared.
