After much internal debate and consideration, Vivian reluctantly consented to Alaric's conditions. She was torn between her debt and gratitude to Ronan and her desire for freedom from the dark magic slowly leading her to an inevitable death.
After all, Alaric had just confirmed that no other Wickan other than himself was capable of reversing the effects of the dark magic cast upon her. It would have to be removed by the caster's hand.
Hence, the Wickans of Sabre Coven wouldn't be able to help her in any way.
However, when asked why Alaric Alessandro Crowley had inflicted such deathly magic onto her body if he was the one who orchestrated Alexa's death, with a wicked smile, the Wickan master replied, "For you to learn who you belong to, sweetheart."
Vivian wasn't fond of the way the endearment rolled off his tongue.
It was no better than iron scraping against iron and grating on the ear.
