"I know where the cave in the mountain is. That is the first place we need to attack as we need to ensure none of the children are harmed. Once they are safe, we have to attack the house but Vincent cannot enter yet. The wolfsbane they have around the house seems to be more powerful. There is a high chance that a spell was placed on them," said Aurora.

Vincent was immune to regular wolfsbane as he would smoke it to suppress the beast inside of him but the wolfsbane the Hamiltons used was different. Minnie or perhaps another family member must have taken extra precautions and placed a spell on them.

"You might not be able to easily destroy them, Aurora," Regina stated as she remembered Aurora showing her the power to make plants grow or burn. "With my help, you might be able to. I read something that would be able to make a spell vanish but I don’t think I am strong enough to do it. Certain spells I did not work. All of them had a red marking which seems to mean they were for stronger witches."

"There are three strong witches you have a weird relationship with," Vincent said to Aurora.

"I also know three witches. Do they travel in three all the time? I went to a store they have in town. Agatha, Minerva, and Morgan," Regina listed the names of the witches she got the book from. "Minnie sent Duncan to employ them for the ritual."

"They are the same witches I have been hiring for spells. It won’t be hard to summon them here-"

"So more creatures inside of my home," Timothy muttered. It was truly the best idea for him to live far away from his family members. He could see them now trying to hang him if they were to ever learn how many dangerous creatures he had in his home. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Is that your indirect way of saying you do not want to have children with me?" Regina questioned Timothy. "You do know that my children will have witch blood in them? If they are not completely human you will not want them in your house?"

"That was not what I meant," Timothy leaned closer to Regina to explain what he meant because he did not want to offend her.

"I know. I was only messing with you," Regina chuckled. She couldn’t miss the opportunity to make Timothy think he said something wrong. "If this will put you in a lot of danger Timothy we can find another place to do all of this. We’re all aware of your family history when it comes to people like us."

"It is fine since you plan to carry out your plans tonight. However, I will not allow any vampires, demons, or whatever kind of creatures you know to cause harm to humans."

"Shows what little you know about us. A vampire and a werewolf would never be friends with one another. The same goes for demons. We all hate each other and the only wall we would be peacefully in a room together is if we were using one another. Your king never had to fear us banding together," said Vincent.

"Good to know," Timothy replied. He wasn’t going to question the words of an alpha. He might not know which creatures disliked each other but he was certain the werewolf before him was not a fan of humans.

"I’ll summon the witches when they are finished talking. They can remove the spell while we save the children they have taken to the cave. I’ll destroy the wolfsbane-"

"Wait," Regina interrupted Aurora. "All of this extra work could be avoided if you and I are the only ones to return home. Why does he have to tag along?" Regina pointed at Vincent.

"She’s not going anywhere without me. Get that into your head quickly," Vincent advised Regina. He didn’t come all of this way to sit back and watch his woman fight. He would enter the Hamilton home even if his body would react to the wolfsbane. "She belonged to me first."

"Technically, I belonged to Artemis first and she was not this protective of me," Aurora muttered. She knew there would be an unavoidable argument between Regina and Vincent.

"I am your future husband," Vincent stated as it placed him miles ahead of the sister title.

"I am her sister!" Regina exclaimed.

"Not by blood."

"Blood does not matter. Look at how I am going to fight against my family for her. Men come and go but I’ll be in her life forever," Regina argued.

Vincent couldn’t resist smiling because of her words. Out of the four people present, two of them could live forever thanks to Artemis granting them this. Regina might be a witch but she wasn’t a strong one to be able to live forever and the man she chose was all human. "After fifty years pass you’ll only be in her memories while I lay next to her. Be thankful there is someone to be with her for an eternity."

"I will find a way to live forever. Just watch," Regina made a mental note to look for a spell to allow her to do this. She would even pay a witch to make it happen.

"A half-blood witch looking for immortality is the reason your grandmother is so interested in Aurora. Now we have you so determined to make it happen. Looks like we should kill you too," Vincent tapped his arm as he contemplated it.

"I’m not like Minnie. I wouldn’t use Aurora as she did. I’ll search for another way that has nothing to do with Aurora. Thanks to you, we’ve gone far off topic," Regina glared at Vincent. Just looking at him made her angry. She did not approve of him for her sweet sister.

"About time. Here," Aurora rolled out a map of the town she got from Timothy. "The cave is here," she pointed at a mountain right behind the Hamilton house. "We will strike here tomorrow night and while Timothy takes the children to safety we will go down to the house while they are asleep."
