1 Chapter 1 : The Little Witch I

A man is seen holding a dagger against a young ladies throat as another man watches and inches closer to the captor .

" Niklaus , not another step " he warns. " All I ask is for you to return what is mine and no harm will come to her. How could you be so heartless I'm trying to save our mother".

" You know not, of what you speak of. I'm warning you step away from her this instant", he say with his astounding accent.

For the first time, the tension in his expression and in his voice is obvious even as he tries so hard to stay calm.

" Seems like you leave me no choice " , the other man says.

" Ahhh... "

______________________________________

Niklaus Regaleon Michaelson paces around as he is continuously plagued with visions of his bride. He has refused to take her as mate as not only because not only is she a witch but also the daughter of his enemy.

The mate of an Alpha is chosen and the more one tries to resist, the more painful it gets.

Regaleon has ignored the visions for years now and has finally had his full.

He calls for his personal servant, Vatler Dominion.Vatler walks in and kneels in reverence.

" Your Highness " , he says

" Ready my horse, I take a wife tonight " , he says with an obvious hint of irritation on his expression.

Few minutes later, he's on his way to the Heist mansion.

Three Days Ago

Princess Natasha and her younger sister, Tara are discussing, the new Alpha's bride in Natasha's bedroom.

" Oh , sister dearest she's definitely going to be me. I mean, father did say a seer foresaw His Highness's bride coming from our family ". Natasha says with pride

" Of course, Tish. I mean would it be cottage rat instead ? " They both laugh.

" Aimel, do call that cottage rat. Send her to serve me tea " . Natasha says to one of her maids.

Aimel leaves and goes to call Elisa.

Unlike her sisters or rather step sisters, Elisa lives in a rather shabby cottage far a distance away from the palace.

Elisa is the adopted daughter of Ashford von Heist, her background is unknown to other members of the family.

She's practicing her spells, when she hears a knock on the door. She immediately clears up the room, then slowly opens the door.

She takes a breath of relief when she sees it's Aimel.

" Aimel, what brings you here " , she says with a gentle voice trying as much as she could to not let her expression tell on her.

" Princess Elisa, Princess Natasha has called on you to serve her tea " , Aimel says feeling pity for the forsaken princess.

" I'm right behind you " Elisa says with a bright smile. She quickly follows Aimel as she has gotten accustomed to being slave to her step sisters.

She enters the bedroom with the tea set and sets the table, she pours them tea.

Natasha takes a sip and spits it out, then she immediately gulps down a glass of water. Tara stares at her sister in shock as to what was wrong.

" Dearest, what's wrong" , she asks desisting from taking a sip of the tea.

" Sh... She ... This ... She did this on purpose, she .... Wants to hurt me to exact revenge " she says in anger and frustration.

Elisa touches the teapot and realises that it was actually incredibly hot but she didn't make the tea and Natasha knew it but still decided to query her instead.

Natasha walks up to her slowly

" You like it hot right ?? " , She picks up the teapot, pulls Elisa's arm and pours out the remainder of the tea on her palm as Elisa groans in pain.

" Clear this up " ,she comanded.

Elisa still in pains from the burn, managed to to clear up the stains on the rug and heads for her room. She is stopped on the way by a maid.

Elisa immediately recognized her as the maid that made the tea.

" I'm so sorry princess Elisa, it was an error on my part, I'll be more careful next time.

" It's fine, I'm fine " , she says wearing a half smile.

" Oh no you're not. The tea was so hot... " , the maid looks up immediately realizes she has just exposed herself.

" I'm so sorry princess, I didn't mean to cause you harm , it's just..... " she says grabbing Elisa's arm, Elisa draws back her hand as the burn still hurts.

She was in no mood to continue the discussion.

" It's fine , I'm okay ..."

" No you are not ..... Your .. "

" I said it's fine " , Elisa mistakenly releases and energy surge as she tries to get away from the maid.

She looks down to find the maid unconscious and bleeding profusely.

" N... No no .. this " she tries waking her up but she had already lost a lot of blood.

Elisa panicked, she runs into her cottage, packs up w few things ad makes a run for it.

She chants a pause spell she had been working on for years pos emit to buy herself little time.

She runs as fast as she could, since the spell only lasts a few minutes. She decides to enter a place her father would least expect.

A bar. How he loathed such classless bars.

The room reeks of alcohol and cigar, the stench makes her feel uncomfortable, so she turns to leave.

She sees a red haired and dark eyed lady, the lady wore black tights that erupted her sexy figure.

" Excuse me, Mam ", she says politely.

" Hey . I'm Camille but you could call me, Lady Cami, everyone does. Let's have a chat " , Elisa was stunned by how open minded the lady was.

But right now, she wasn't in the mood for chats.

" Excuse me Mam, but I have to leave ", the lady comes close to Elisa then she whispers.

" This isn't the place for your kind, you better come with me or ... " , Cami says and leaves Elisa.

Elisa follows suite as she wasn't dumb not to realize that was a threat.

Cami enters a room, and signals everyone to leave and they do so immediately except a lady who stands at a corner, her head bowed.

" Please sit, care for a drink? " , she says with a charming smile.

" I don't drink ", Elisa retorts clearly hinting for Cami to go straight to the point as to why she had decided to keep her here.

" Juice then ?" , she says clearly ignoring the hints. She signals the lady to get the juice not awaiting Elisa's reply.

" No need to be scared, I don't bite. At least I won't bite you " she chuckles. The lady comes in with two glasses of juice and serves then she leaves.

" Drink up. Don't worry it's not spiked. I won't stop so low...yet ", Cami smiles clearly enjoying teasing Elisa. She takes a sip of the drink.

" Why don't you have a shower and a meal, you look exhausted" . She gets up and leaves. Elisa sits a while , still trying to take in all that had just happened.

She looks at the windows but they were too narrow, then she heads for the door but it was locked.

" Fine, I'll play along for now ", she says to herself.

She takes a warm bath and it instantly calms her nerves. She comes out and changes into something free. Few minutes later, Cami comes in.

" Perfect " , she sits beside Elisa . " How about a quick intro. You know my name, so what's yours? "

Elisa decides to threaten her instead.

" You don't know who I am. I am the daughter of, Ashford von Heist. You better let me leave you wouldn't like to know what my father would do to you ", Elisa heads for the door.

" I wouldn't, if I were you " she gets up , looking not the least fazed by Elisa's threat.

" A few guards dropped by looking for a runaway witch, I immediately recognized you the moment I set eyes on you" Elisa immediately realized the reason why Cami stopped her from leaving.

" They're far gone by now, I don't see a reason for you to still keep me here " , she still refuses to stay.

" Before you leave , why don't we have that chat. I'll like to make you an offer" . She says with a satisfying smile.
