Darkest Hours (MGL series Book 2)

Chapter 5

"I ought to give it to you, Lord Lucius. You have a graceful way of appearing abruptly." Madonna presented an amusing smile to the Lord who came barging into her coven like he was the Emperor of the establishment.

How Charming! Madonna thought, as she looked at the well built Lord who stood before her like a raging demon.

It was no wonder that she felt attracted to him. He was man who screamed attention wherever he went.

But that wasn't only the matter that amused her; it was also that he came with empty hands. He did not mind bringing what she asked for but still stood there with the determination to get what he wanted.

"Ah, but you were expecting my arrival, aren't you?" He asked as he sat in the chair opposite to Madonna's. He observed every nook and corner of her cave, he noticed every inch of her movement so as to know what she was thinking.

If there was anything that Lord Lucius was thankful of to his mother, then it was the ability of sensing the intentions of the other person that he inherited from her. Although it did not work on his family, he was more often than not accurate in reading other people.

But when it came to the young gorgeous witch, he was not certain what to think of her. He could only sense her strength but not her intent. He could not tell why he was attracted to her in such an intense manner.

Was it the curiosity in the first place that was making him think about her more often or was it just how a man of youth would feel for a woman.

There was something about the woman sitting in front of him made him wary. No, it was not her powers, but it was the calm and serene ability of hers that was getting on his nerves.

"I cannot supposedly lie about that." She chuckled as she opened her palm and produced a burst of orange flames. She played with the flames on her whims and smiled as she intensely closed the palm and opened again to produce blue and orange flames dancing side by side.

She loved the feeling of controlling the fire she has inside her. It was exiting!

"You could not have just wanted to see the beautiful young witch so what forced you to pay a visit to me, My Lord." Madonna was enjoying this little play of wits with the Lord.

"Why do you need Alys possession? What was in the black box that you would risk the whereabouts of one of the most powerful witches without a second guessing?" Lucius asked without a moment of late.

He was still complying if he would get a truthful answer or not. From what the filthy monster Knox had said, Madonna was good with playing with words and minds so he wanted to know what it was that she was looking for.

"Let it just be my little secret, My Lord. However, I shall assure you that it was nothing fatal to you or any other person." She brushed off as she scoffed a little at the Lord who narrowed his eyes at her suspiciously. "You want to find where Witch Orla resides, give me what I wanted and I shall lead you there myself." She completed looking at the Lord attentively for his rely.

Lucius was puzzled at the witch. He was anxious to find his evil mother and undo all the wrong she had done from several years but there was another issue with Madonna who was still a question to him.

If Madonna has nothing to do with Orla or any other Witch who was related to Orla, then she would not be prepared to give her situation of his mother.

Lucius had previously explored and found out that Orla had nothing, whatsoever, to do with the young witch. Madonna was always alone there and was never visited by any witch. He used his spells to look into her past and all it had was her helping Knox Garrick with the issues of Shadowvalor.
