“What the hell are you guys doing?” Azrael asked the first thing when she saw Victoria sitting on the throne.

“Grandma Azrael, please help me. I can’t get up from here.” Victoria exclaimed, making Azrael roll her eyes at her granddaughter.

“That I can clearly see, my naughty sweetheart. But my question is, why you sat on it in the first place?” Azrael said before stepping up the stairs.

“It’s not her fault. It’s my fault, Grandma. We were ...umm… being a bit romantic, and I got carried away in the flow, forgetting that we were on the throne seat and that placing her there can be a disaster. However, I am confused as to why she is even allowed to sit on it in the first place, not to mention that she is now glued to it.” Alexander asked, confused.

“First, congrats on being back in your body and its control. Second, she is allowed to sit there because she is the only daughter of the former Alpha king Nelson, and because she is a hybrid, she is eligible to sit on both werewolves and witch’s thone, Third, can you guys stop creating trouble for me? I know I am an old and powerful witch, but I’ve never felt so problematic and old in my whole life than how much Victoria has made me in 20 years.” Azrael rolled her eyes before she stood near Victoria and placed her hand on top of her head, wincing when she felt her hand burning.

“I feel some dark energy here. It’s like someone is forcing you to sit here. A witch from the dark world. For a witch to regulate soo much power on another witch of the seventh domain, this witch is surely powerful.” Azrael said, her eyes almost tearing at the strong burning sensations she was feeling.

“I am sorry, grandma. It was me who had provoked Alexander. It’s just I wanted a kid so that I could feel less ashamed and guilty of myself when I’ll be bringing Carla back here. I’ll have to call her sooner or later because if not, then she will try to create problems with Jasmine, and it will be havoc for me. But, before I call her, I want to give her back the loss she suffered because of my rash decisions.” Victoria said with a guilty conscience.

“What are you talking about, Victoria? What guilty conscience do you have? Why do you keep talking in circles like this? You know that you can share your problem with me, and we can find a solution to it together. You do realize that we are in this together, right?” Alexander said, a bit irritated that she always thinks of solving everything by herself.

Hearing his words, victoria sighed loudly, closing her eyes as she felt the guilt and pain taking over her. Opening her eyes she looked at her grandma’s wincing face that was contorted with pain. Sighing loudly, not wanting to hurt her loved ones anymore, she finally decided to take help of her powers.

“Stay back, grandma,” Victoria said, making Azrael look at her in confusion but she complied with her nonetheless.

Closing her eyes, Victoria asked Jasmine, to solve the issue, who smirked in reply before closing her eyes.

Murmuring a chant in a foreign language that even Victoria didn’t understand, Jasmine smiled wickedly, knowing her powers were escalating themselves again, which meant she was changing her domain to the eighth one and becoming more powerful.

Feeling her body being broken from inside out, Victoria screamed in pain, her scream holding soo much power that all the glasses in the hall broke into tiny shards, shocking both Azrael and Alexander.

Azrael, who immediately understood what she was doing, rushed towards Jasmine to stop her from forcing herself to enter the eighth domain.

“Don’t force yourself, Jasmine. Remember that this not your body alone. Victoria is the owner of this body. She asked you to help her not to try to destroy her.” Azrael said, angry at her wishful granddaughter.

“Well, this is her punishment for forcing me back in the body,” Jasmine said before excruciating more pain to Victoria.

Seeing the blood oozing out of Victoria’s mouth, Alexander immediately rushed towards her and held her in his arms.

After several coughs, she opened her eyes slightly, and seeing the concerned expression on her lover’s face, Victoria knitted her brows close before closing her eyes to force Jasmine to stop what she was doing.

“Jasmine, sweetheart, have you forgotten who is the real owner of the body? Do you want me to teach you a lesson?” Victoria asked, taking control of the witch powers, shocking Jasmine, who looked at her as if she was looking at an alien.

“What the hell, Victoria? How are you able to do this? I am the witch power of your body. How can you use these powers without my approval?” Jasmine asked, confused.

“Sweetheart, if you’ve forgotten, then I must remind you that I was a witch even before you came into the picture. It was me, who gave name to my powers. I named them Joy because they brought joy to my life. Do you think that your name was Jasmine by birth? No, dear. It was a name that I wanted to have when I was little.

I am the one who created you as a separate identity. You are here because I asked you to protect my body. I would be a witch and will remain a witch even if you are not in the picture. The one who can create can also destroy. It’s the law in the witch world. You are familiar with the laws, right?” Victoria asked, making Jasmine widen her eyes in shock.

‘If what she was saying was true, then does that mean I have no personality without her?’ Jasmine thought, making Victoria laugh at her choice of words.

“Dear, you and Carla are nothing but separate personalities of mine. One is super naughty and wishful, the other one is super serious and funny while I am the calm, clumsy, and soft one. If I were in the human world, then it would have been defined as a multiple personality disorder and nothing more. Your existence doesn’t matter to me. Whether you stay or cease to exist, I’ll still live in this world, but what would happen to you, if I die?” Victoria asked, smiling wickedly when she was able to entangle Jasmine in her words.

Of course, what she said was only half the truth, and she had manipulated the rest of the truth, but for Jasmine to stop being so wishful, Victoria knew that she needs to be like this, or Jasmine will try to hurt her more.

After what felt like an eternity but were only a few seconds, Victoria opened her eyes looked up with a satisfied smile on her face, Jasmine struggling inside her body still entangled in what Victoria has said just now to her.

Carla, who was listening to her words, smiled at Jasmine’s childish behavior before she was blocked by Victoria again. Just now Victoria has lifted the mind barrier so that she could use the help of Carla if things go out from under her control.

Standing up from the throne, she looked at Azrael with a complicated expression before speaking.

“I am going inside. I hope you can tell him the truth. And this time, I mean the whole truth and not just the parts of it.

“I will be waiting in your room. Come to me after you are done speaking with her and she has told you the complete truth.” Victoria said to Alexander before kissing his cheeks and exiting the hall using her teleporting powers, leaving Azrael and Alexander alone in the hall to talk.

Turning around, Alexander looked at Azrael, waiting for her to speak the truth about what happened that day and what Victoria was talking about. The truth that even his friend daniel didn’t know about
