Callista’s POV~~ It was afternoon the next day. Jessica was standing at the front of the door while I was inside the hut, making sure that she didn’t leave where she was standing. “Mommy, look!” I saw her point towards the woods. “Grandpa and Aunt Lily are back,” she said, jumping up and down happily as she saw them walking towards the hut. I walked towards the door to meet her, but she ran out excitedly to welcome Shaman Magnus and Lily. A big smile plastered on my face as I saw Lily pick her up from the ground and carry her in her arms. “It’s good to see you are back,” I said to them as they got to where I was standing. “I hope you didn’t miss us too much.” Lily gave me a quick hug. “We did,” I pouted. “And now we are here,” Shaman Magnus chimed in. “You are welcome back,” I said again as we walked inside the hut. Just as I was about to close the door, I saw freaky wagging its tail and walking towards me. “Hey freaky,” I bent downward to touch its head. “I miss you so much,
Callista’s POV~~ A few days later,. “She should get better when she wakes,” Shaman Magnus said, staring at my worried and confused face. “I can’t let anything happen to her, Shaman,” I said amidst tears that had glistened in my eyes. “Babe, she will be fine.” Lily held my hand in hers. My gaze went to the bed, where Jessica was lying motionless. She had been very sick for the past two days, and every portion that Shaman Magnus had brewed for her seemed to have no effect on healing her. It left me bothered and worried about her state of health. I can’t lose Jessica. “Moon Goddess, please save my baby,” I said, raising my head to stare at the top of the thatched roof of the hut. My intention was to look up at the moon goddess to see if she could see my tears. “She will be fine. Stop crying.” Lily’s voice carried a hint of emotion in it. “She has been like this for the past two days,” I lamented. “Let her wake up and see if there will be a change,” Shaman Magnus said with a worr
Callista’s POV~~ “What do you mean?” I asked out loudly that Shaman Magnus and Lily heard what I had said. “Who are you talking to?” They both chorused. They wore a confused expression about who I was talking to; probably they had forgotten that I can now talk to animals. “You can heal your child yourself,” the creature repeated, as its voice reverberated in my mind. “We’ve tried everything we could, and Shaman Magnus here has brewed all sorts of portions for her, and we are even coming from a healer. How do you mean I can heal her when these people who have more power than I am aren’t able to do that?” I explained this to the creature. Maybe it would understand that the situation was beyond my control. “You have the power to heal your child from that sickness, and if you fail to do that within the next few minutes, you are going to lose her,” the animal said to me in my head and walked away. I stared at it as it walked deeper into the forest until it went out of sight. All this
Callista’s POV~~ "Oh, moon goddess, not again,” I sighed in frustration. I ran my eyes around, looking at these rogues who had outnumbered us. If they attack us without doing anything, we can’t even survive a bite from them. Seeing them would have made me feel trembling like a leaf blown by the wind, but guess what? I wasn’t the weakling type again. I can single-handedly take down these rogues, but I know Lily and Shaman Magnus won’t allow that. “Should I take over?” I heard Maya growl silently in my head. “Not yet.” I nodded in disagreement. Then something struck my mind. The green ball of lightning from the other time. Was it only for healing? I bet it. “Why not try it out again?” Maya whimpered in my head, sitting at the front of my head as if watching what was going on. I took a few steps back away from Lily, who wrapped Jessica tightly around her chest. I squeezed my eyes shut, picturing the way Maya had guided me the other time. The air around my hand crackled with anti
Third-person POV~~ The sunset painted the sky with a myriad of colors, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Callista and Lily were sitting on a log of wood at the front of the hut, each of them in the realm of their own thoughts. The hidden abilities that were unlocked in Callista still baffle her. The perceptions she had about herself had now changed, and all she was thinking of was how she would return to the Midnight Mirage Pack to get the truth about her identity from Healer Ragnar. She wanted to ask Lily if she would be willing to go back with her, but then she remembered that Lily had made it known to her that she wasn’t going to return to the Midnight Mirage pack. She sucked up the thought of asking her. “Just summoned the courage, Callista,” she muttered to herself, barely above a whisper that no one would hear. She took a deep, quick breath and stared at where Lily was sitting opposite her at the other end of the hut. “Lily,” she called, which made Lily raise her h
Tristan’s POV~~It’s been five years, and you would think I had gotten over Callista, but I haven’t. Odin and I have been distant for the past five years. He rarely talks to me. I had once thought that he had gone into hibernation. The last time he spoke to me was three months ago. And he would remind me of making us lose our mate because of my ruthlessness. Was that being ruthless? It is what it is. “You really want me to talk to you when you refuse to find her?” This has always been the only thing he says to me—finding our mate and nailing me for what has happened in the past. Yes, I was at fault, but that was a long time ago. I don’t even feel like talking to him right now because he doesn’t care to listen to whatever excuse I give him. So what’s there to talk about? When he doesn’t care. I was hurt too, and I have been living in dismay for a whole two years after she was gone. Callista is an omega; there is no way she could survive there in the woods. She must have been dead wi
Callista’s POV~~ Lily and I had agreed to go back to the Midnight Mirage Pack to get more information about my identity from healer Ragnar, and there was also one thing that has been on my mind for the past five years, ever since I knew about who my father's killer was. Yes, you are right. Revenge. I will avenge his death and make Tristan pay for it soon. But the problem now is how to get Shaman Magnus to come with us. We don’t want to leave him back in the hut, even though that has been his home. “What do you think we should do, Lily?” I voiced my concern about getting Shaman Magnus to follow us. “We just have to tell him and hope he agrees to it,” Lily responded casually, as if it were less of an issue to her. “Okay,” I muttered slowly. “Let’s go,” I beckoned. We walked back inside the hut because we were outside this whole time. As we got inside the hut, thanks to the moon goddess, Jessica was fast asleep as she was just recovering from her illness. We went inside the inner r
Tristan’s POV~~I thought I was staring at a ghost or something else. There was no way Callista would be alive. “Are you c***y? Can’t you see her standing? That’s my f***king mate,” Odin growled, air-quoting the last word 'mate'.“Just shut it and stop messing with my head,” I retorted angrily through the mind link. If it were years ago before this night, Odin would have retracted far back in my mind and will not come back until he feels like it. But this night it was different; instead of him storming off just like he had always done after I scolded him, guess what? He didn't; he was pushing me to go and meet our mate and claim her once again. He stayed there in the front of my head, watching the whole drama. He was pushing me to go and meet our mate and claim her once again. “You fool! Go, meet her, and claim her for us. Look at her eyes; she misses us; she can’t resist our charm. She wants us to be snuggled in our arms. She is dying to have a taste of our lips in hers.” Odin was
