Jezebel, the spurned lover of Tatin planned vengeance, with the aid of a notorious gunman and another powerful witch. They zoomed from past into Isabella’s current  world, pretended to be her twin, mimicking our heroine, Amalia, and Talia, attempting to poison Suzy with a laced apple, and trying to kill Isabella. Tatin, Apollo II and friends time-travelled into the future to protect Isabella and family. 

Apollo and friends’ wit—Hugh and Andrea’s; the adventures of Josh, Jan, and Fr. Robert; the pets Jackson and Zoraida’s roles all lent soft touches to the perils that the Lee’s went through in this threequel.

The Banquet Hall (SPILL-OVER THEORY)  Vol. 3

Like, Azazel, the father of Tatin, Bella was a product of war. She hid under ditches dug by her father and mother during the war. She saw how easy the enemies butchered her family one by one including her brother and sister like they were not human beings. She saw how the enemies almost erased the entire town that was her paradise and where the wolves had built their livelihoods and habitations. Without anything to eat, she ate some flesh, and Bella was never the same again.


One day, she met a strange woman who took pity on her and taught her a strange art. That way, she said, she'd be able to survive and defend herself.  Embittered by her experience, she'd lived in seclusion for a long time because she'd hardly trusted people. There'd been foreigners around as they laid siege on the town. She pitied women like Jezebel who told her, her own story, and who Bella thought, was aggrieved by the divorce and the arrangement made by the judge that she had vowed to avenge her like other people who came to her through her witchcraft.


What she did not see was she was used by Jezebel, who, enslaved by greed as the next time she'd stand before Tatin, she'd ask for his power as head of the wolf-dom over all his constituents. She wanted all. She wanted Tatin to kneel before her. That'd be sweet revenge, for her.


With Bella on her side, Jezebel was certain that she'd get what she wanted from Tatin.


Bella was a bit surprised. She thought they were only playing games.  She did not think that Jezebel had another plan. Her mouth opened when Jezebel told her that she wanted Isabella out of her way, just like what he asked from Umberto. Bella's eyeballs repeatedly rolled upside down.


"You'll be my right hand once I get the wolf-dom. You're aware how much treasure there is."


"I don't see any reason why you want to kill her. She's in the future."


"Tatin's strength depended on her. I can see that he is stronger because of her. Eliminating her is the only way to weaken Tatin."


"Hmm … a smile came out from her lips, and from Jezebel's lips.


But unknown to them,  Hugh and Andrea had been eavesdropping from the roof, then, two wolves could be seen running fast, away from the house where Jezebel lived.
