Earlier.....
Raymond's room
After Raphael had left the room, Raymond stirred awake as his eyes fluttered open. He sat up on the bed and felt a little strange with his body. His head felt light and his body felt as if it went through a transformation. His neck and back ache for being in one position for a long time and he felt very thirty.
Thankfully he saw a glass of water beside him on the night stand which he took immediately and drank all of it queching his thirst.
He had just dropped the cup back on the night stand when he heard his father talking to someone in an angry voice and he wondered the guard or servant that had angered him.
He didn't want to know what was going on as he decided to lay back on the bed for a little while but the next words he heard from his father confused him.
" I told you both that if my son is not awake by today I'll slit both your throats and now I won't go back on my words " He said.
Who was he talking to ?
And what did he mean by If he didn't wake up by today, did something happened to him ?
And then he heard a familiar voice he had heard before " Please don't do this Lord Tristan " He immediately got out of bed and rushed out of the room into the balcony and he looked down only to see his father about to kill a girl whose face was wet with her tears and he recognized her immediately and he stopped his father before he could slit her throat.
" What's going on here Dad " He said and Lord Tristan's hand stopped an inch away from Danielle's neck.
All eyes turned to look at Raymond who was now walking down the stairs until he got to where they are with a confused expression on his face.
Raymond stared from his father to the two girls he knew from school and then he looked at his father who was giving him a shocked look as though he was just seeing him for the first time which got him more confused.
" Raymond is it really you " Tristan asked to be sure it wasn't one of the witch tricks to decieve him.
" What kind of question is that dad, Did something happened ? " Raymond said.
" Raphael come over here and check if he's perfectly fine " Tristan said to the healer.
" What ? Don't come close to me I said I'm fine " Raymond said in an annoyed voice and then he looked at Danielle and Sharon who were still kneeling down " What the hell are you two doing here " He asked but before Danielle could say anything Tristan beat her to it.
Tristan told Raymond all that happened even before he passed out and Raymond said he didn't remember anything of what his father had just told him.
" Raymond " Danielle called grabbing his attention " I didn't bewitched you someone else did in school " She said and as if Raymond remembered something he furrowed his brows.
" I remembered " He said.
" Remembered what ? " Tristan asked.
" I remembered coming to school this morning and I was conered by some girls but before I could ask them what's happening the girl who stood in front of me blew some black dust particles into my eyes and I heard her saying some magic spells and after that I didn't know what happened next "
" It wasn't this morning Raymond, this happened to you two days ago, today's sunday " Sharon who had been quiet for a while spoke up.
" Two days ago ? What do you mean by that ? " Raymond asked surprised.
" Yes.. Sharon is right. You were under spell on friday in school and me, Sharon and Muna tried to follow you after school so I could use my magic spell to break off the spell from you but the girl's outsmarted us and after school we couldn't find you or the girls who bewitched you " Danielle said.
" Wait a minute ? How did you guys know I was under a spell and followed me to my house because I didn't notice you guys following me " Raymond asked confused.
" First of all did you remember us and Muna " Danielle asked.
" Of course I remember you guys and Muna, where is she ?" Raymond said as he couldn't see any sign of Muna in the living room.
" Okay good. Firstly Muna isn't here with us and secondly the girls who casted a spell on you were jealous because you talked with Muna after school on thursday so the next day Muna waved at you in class but you ignored her so she told us after school and we wondered what happened until the girls came to where we sat at the cafe and told us that they had casted a spell on you and Muna should stay away from you " Danielle said and Sharon continued.
" So since we didn't know where you live as you couldn't recognize us anymore so we took your picture from your locker at school, sorry about that. Danielle did a locator spell from her spell book and we found out where you live so the three of us were going to come together to free you off the spell but Muna couldn't come with us because she was taken by her mate "
" Her mate ? " Raymond asked with scruched brows with hands crossed over his chest.
" Yeah save that for later " Danielle said " But the guards won't let us in " Danielle said and turned around to glare at the guards and she turned back to face Raymond " So I had to control their minds so they will let us in and it worked but it didn't last because I did a temporary spell and we were both thrown into the cell for trespassing and...."
" Danielle can we get to the main part my knees are hurting already "
" Oh " Danielle said and faced the Lord " Lord Tristan I think your son is awake and perfectly fine so can we get up now " She said.
" No until I get to the bottom of this story " He said and her shoulders slumped.
" But he's absolutely fine now and he remembers the girls who bewitched him thanks to my magic spell " Danielle said.
" What spell again ? " Raymond asked with narrowed eyes.
" Oh, I and Sharon was trying to explain to your dad that we only came to your house to free you off the spell but he didn't believe us neither were u helping matters to remember us so I had no choice but to utter the spell while we were being taken away to the cell for the second time and then after we both locked up in the cell not up to some minutes your dad came angrily into the cell and asked me what I did to you but I said I only freed you from the spell " Danielle said and told Raymond all that happened and how they ended up kneeling down in the living room.
" So all this happened while I was under a spell and unconscious " Raymond said.
" Yes " Danielle answered. " Please ask you dad to release us, we have to get back home now, our parents will be worried about us "
" Raymond are they saying the truth about the girls from school " Tristan asked.
" Yes dad they are saying the truth " Raymond confirmed and Danielle and Sharon breathed a sign of relief.
Atleast they were not going to die anymore.
" This is why I preferred you to go to Vampires school filled with our kinds only not that mixed school " Tristan said.
" I love the mixed school dad, what happened to me was a mistake and it won't happen again I promise " Raymond said and he turned to look at the girls and smiled at them. A charming smile that melted Danielle's heart as they had never seen him smile before.
" Thanks to you two for helping me out of the spell " He said and then looked at his father " Dad I think you can release them now "
The Lord turned to look at them and he smiled too, a smile that looked so much like Raymond's and it appears that Raymond looks like his father.
But what about his mother ? Thought Danielle to herself.
" Alright you two can stand up on your feets, I owe you my thanks too " He said and Danielle and Sharon immediately got up on their feets and they thanked the Lord.
" Thank you Lord Tristan " They said in unison.
" What about Muna ? You said something about her being taken away by her mate " Raymond asked.
" Yes, it appears that she was a mate to an Alpha Werewolf " Danielle said and Raymond's eye's widened in shock.
" An Alpha Werewolf ? " He asked and Danielle nodded her head while Sharon remained silent.
" When was she taken ? " He asked and his father narrowed his eyes at him.
" Yesterday before we came here to the mansion, her parents told me on the phone " Danielle said.
" Raymond did you have interest in this girl ? " Tristan asked with raised brows and smirk on his red lips.
" Uh.. No " Raymond lied " She's... She's a new friend in school and these are her friend and I was just surprised to hear that she was mated to a Werewolf "
" Do you like Muna " Sharon asked surprising Danielle and Raymond.
" Why do you ask " Raymond said.
" Because she likes you and we just risked our lives to come free you from the spell and we were almost killed if not for Danielle's spell so it's unfair if all we did was in vain " Sharon said.
All eyes turned to Raymond waiting for him to say something and the atmosphere became awkward and he immediately changed the topic " Um...Look, I think I'll just go back to my room I still feel a little dizzy here so I guess I'll see you both in school tommorow alright bye " He said and left leaving the girls and Lord Tristan dumbfounded as they watched him climbed up the stairs and got into his room.
" So does that means he likes her too but was just shy to say it ? " Danielle said.
" I don't know Elle, let's just go home I miss Cindy already " Sharon said.
" Yeah let's go home " Danielle said.
" Um...Won't you guys wait and let the servants treat you with lunch before you go " The Lord said.
" No thanks, we are good " Danielle said.
" Don't you guys want anything ? Just name it and it will be done "
" There's no need for that Lord Tristan we just need to go home " Sharon said.
" Alright if that's what you both want but you guys are free to come visit whenever you wish you're always welcome " He said.
" Really " Danielle said.
" Yes "
" Thank you " Sharon and Danielle said in sync and they bowed their heads.
And soon they left for home.
While driving back home Sharon apologized to Danielle for acting all shitty back at the cell.
" I'm so sorry Elle for the way I acted in the cell, I was just scared that we were going to die and we wouldn't get to see our parents, our friends and Muna anymore, I'm sorry and I hope you forgive me "
" I understand and I forgive you Shar, all that matters is that we are alive at the end, Raymond is fine and we're going back home " Danielle said and Sharon smiled.
" Yes, we're going home, I love you " She said.
" I love you too " Danielle said and smiled back.

Alpha Jayden's Park House...
Five days past and Muna was still locked up in the basement. No one cared if she was alive or dead as she was no longer banging on the door but of course one person cared.
Dexter was not happy with the situation Muna got herself in. If only she had just said the truth about who had helped her out of the mansion she wouldn't have been locked up.
If not for the fact that Jayden had asked his warriors to check on her in the basement to confirm if she was alive and they came back positive Dexter wouldn't mind the consequence he was going to face after he released Muna.
He had known Jayden to be cruel but not to this extent. He really went overboard on his mate, a human girl for that matter. He was really ruthless as they cliamed him to be. Dexter thought that after Jayden had found his mate his hot temper will reduce a little but who was he kidding it got worse instead.
Muna stinks so bad as she had not taken her bath for five days. Every morning she would wake up and resume her constant banging on the door to be let out until she was tired but no one came to her rescue.
The door was only open when she was served breakfast and dinner everyday. Her hair had grown longer and rumpled and her breath stinks along with the little air she was breathing in and out in the basement she was locked in and she swore that she would never speak back to the Alpha again so as not to face worse punishment than this.
Jayden had been trying to control himself since he got her locked up in the basement. His Wolf had been budging him since and clawing at his chest for how cruel he had being treating their mate.
His Wolf was mad at him and he could hear it growling in his ears.
Every morning he woke up or came back from a park meeting his Wolf would make him want to walk up to basement and break it down and then pull their mate out of it and hug her.
But today he didn't hear her banging on the door like she used to he felt worried and he knew it was because of his Wolf. He immediately ask the warriors to go check on her and when they came back and told him that she was alive he was relieved but he didn't order for her release immediately.
Instead he went for a pack meeting at his brother's park house and he didn't return back until it was dark.
After he had taken his bath and changed into an ash pj's he went over to the living room and sat on a couch.
He then mind link his warriors to release her and ask her to bath herself and when she was neat and look presentable in the eyes she should come and meet him in the living room.
The warriors immediately did as he had ordered and when they got to the basement and opened it they found Muna curled up like a ball in a corner with her eyes closed as though she was asleep.
As soon as they brought her outside they met with the Gamma who immediately took Muna away from them and escorted her to her room.
