#Chapter19The pin drop silence was broken by the painful howling at the distant. Immediately Aries took off with Matt and Tray following him, leaving Althea with her pack. The howling of the werewolves grew closer by the minute and the bone breaking sounds of the wolves transforming could be heard on the front ground.But Althea held her ground. This was the second time Aries had pushed her away from him. And she knew she wasn’t sticking around for the third. She had told him that the day he says he doesn't want her, is the day that she will leave him. And he had done it, he said he didn’t want to see her again.She had given him a chance to show that he cared about them. But he let others influence his decision. He chose them over her. Althea knew she would have chosen Aries when the time came. She was ready to tell him who she really was and was even ready to hand over her title to Ash so, she could be with him.But not anymore. She didn’t want to be a pawn in his life. She was
#Chapter20Althea tried her best to control her anger. But her aura sipped some of her anger out. She punched the window so hard that it shattered like a million pieces of diamonds.The little boy that she met on her first day here. She knew he resembled someone and now she knew, he was an exact copy of Aries. He made her feel better every time she was with him. She had wanted to protect his innocent smiles. And now whoever took that innocent life was going to pay.She swiftly jumped out of the window and landed on the ground with Alex following right behind. She looked around and saw a child behind a woman who looked like his mother, protecting him. His mother was not a fighter but she stood like a shield in front of her child, like Althea’s mother had done. That child will not lose his mother today. Not like she had hers.The rouge raised his clawed hand upwards and soon after Althea slammed her hand on his chest and the other on his neck, forcing him to back off from the women a
#Chapter21The rouge was lean but muscular. He was a good fighter on their side. He was fighting one on one with Tray who was the third in command but also Blue blood’s one of the best fighters as well. They were equal in power and it was only a matter of time who found whose weakness first.“Alex, stay here and look after the rest of the pack. Do not let anyone through. Do not let anyone touch a single hair on them.” She commanded to which Alex just nodded his head.As Alex was guiding the women with her child in her arms, she turned around to look at Althea.“Thank you, Luna” she said giving a small smile.Althea didn’t bother correcting her. They were never going to see her after the war anyways. So, she just nodded to the women as she turned around started to make her way inside the pack house. Althea looked at the rouge that was fighting Tray. They were still in their human form. They both were not able to land a punch on each other. But then a dirty brown wolf came from Tr
#Chapter22“What of the families of the ones you kill?” Althea asked. “Would they not be alone?”He just sighed before giving a sad smile. “Look here honey, I have led an army of rouges before, even killed. But never have I ever taken an innocent’s life.” “And if you have never been a rouge before you won’t know. If you think being a rouge means freedom, you are wrong. The loneliness that you feel will eat you from inside. And when you are alone and no one to fight for, you become ruthless and do anything to be in the comfort of the pack.”Althea didn’t blame them for wanting that but she still could not understand them. “I don’t blame you for wanting to be in a comfort and security of a pack but to drop this low? To what extent are you ready to soil you soul?” Althea asked.He just laughed. “Do you not fear the wrath of the goddess?” she asked again.“Honey, the moment I became a rouge, I stopped believing in the goddess. I decide my own faith. And the day that I die, I know
#Chapter23Althea was getting closer to her quest. She had to know who these men were. She could only reunite people if she knew the root of the problems. Her mother had given her one task, to unite the people once again. And she still hadn’t been able to do so.“Are these men that you are talking about, here?” Althea asked, looking around the field.“I have not seen them since. I didn’t want to associate with those who took the life of the goddess” he replied.“If not them, whose command do you follow?” “I do not follow anyone’s command. I just happened to be there when they were planning on kidnapping the Alpha’s brother. They planned on attacking them when they were out searching for his brother. I only came here to steal some riches for myself”, raising his hands in surrender.“But you were there when they killed Noah. Why didn’t you stop them?” Althea spit the words out.He sighed before he replied, “As I told you, I was too late to save him. By the time I got to him, the
#Chapter24As Althea made her way towards the centre, he saw that her pack members had arrived as well. Many of them were fighting their own battle while some were helping the other pack win their fight. She looked around the chaotic mess that was once filled by the laughter of the kids running around. The scene disheartened her. She wanted to stop the war for once. While Ron just stood there watching Althea’s every move.When she reached the centre. She closed her eyes and stood there for a second inhaling the blood, rage, pain and sadness of the people that surrounded her. One of the rouges saw this as a chance to attack her. But when he came close to her, she opened her eyes. Her black eyes looked straight into his soul.“Stop this instant” she growled at him, making him stop on his path right in front of her. He then fell on his knees and bowed his head. The wind around her howled. Her dark hair fighting against the wind. Her eyes coal black that looked as if it could burn the
#Chapter25Ron was watching from the side-line all this time. He finally realized something. He found a purpose in his life again. He now knew why the goodness had forgiven him. He silently laughed at himself. Then looked around as Althea spoke again.“I’ll allow every single one of you to join my pack. But remember this, when you do become a member of my pack, we are friends, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives. We are family. And if anyone ever breaks my family, they shall burn in hell.” Althea’s voice boomed and got louder with each word.The rogues slowly started to get on their knees one by one until Ron was the only one standing at far end of the field.“By blood, I want you to swear your loyalty to each other and to Red healer pack.” She said again.All the rogues slit or bit their palm as blood dripped on the ground. And as if rehearsed, they all said it together.“I swear on my blood, my loyalty to Red healer pack and join this pack from this very moment” their voic
#Chapter26An echo of loud gasps followed the land. They were all shocked as to why he would reject her. She had powers. She was an Alpha. But above all, she had kindness like no other Alphas.Althea knew this was coming. If he didn’t do it, she would have done it. The guilt she felt was killing her. She gave a sad and knowing smile to which Aries gave a frown and a look of confusion.“I, Althea Garcia, Alpha of the red healer pack, accept your rejection” she whispers but loud enough for everyone to hear. Aries clenched his jaws, his face with so much sadness. But he didn’t say a word. Althea knew that the rejection will not be fully complete unless Aries says her full name. But Althea was not keen to break his heart further by revealing one more secret. So, Althea turned around to face her pack.“Let us all leave, we don’t belong here anymore” Althea said.It hurt both Aries and her but she could not show weakness to her pack. She then turned to look at Aries one last time.“I’m
