Damian….My jaw dropped when Alice mentioned witches."Alice, why would you think of that?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow.She looked at me with a confused expression and regret."I just wanted to help; we can't allow her to die and just do nothing," she said with her head bent."Witches are banished from this pack by my father; anyone seen practicing such will be beheaded. And you expect me to do this?" I reminded her of one of the laws that govern Ember moon packs."You are the Alpha, and you can bend and mend the law. You can't just allow your mother to die," she pressed on with confidence.I breathed a sigh of relief. She had a point. I nearly killed Doctor Dart because he couldn't get a cure for my mother. I still felt bad and worse about that."Alice," I called with a firm voice. Even though I will be doing this, it has to be in secret. "I don't want this to leave this place; we will go to the witches by nightfall in disguise." She nodded before looking at me one more time,
Alice….I stood in the cold clearing, waiting for Damian to return. He was gone for almost half an hour.I could feel the cold consuming me; it was chilly, and the echo of the wind sent goosebumps to my skin like a monster was about to jump out to get us. I wore a maid's uniform, which couldn't cover my body properly. Though I had a veil on, it wasn't enough to keep me warm against the chilling night.That was the witches zone, and it was always crippy. I raised my face, which was bent down, to be sure the guard who came with us was still there. Somehow, I felt alone.He was behind me, standing beside the cart, and he stood like this place wasn't having as much effect on him as it was on me. I examined him closely; he had broad shoulders and a scar on his face. He must have fought numerous wars. There was silence except for the crippy cricket and echo of the forest wind.Damian must have had faith in him to come along with us. I knew the consequences when things went south. It didn't
Arya…..I sat down on the floor with my head in between my knees. My chest suddenly felt tight for a moment. All I wanted was to take away these feelings that had taken over me. The emotions swirled like a storm.I sobbed quietly, my wails carrying the heavy emotional weight within me. How could he believe that bitch?Selena was a bitch that shouldn't be messed up with. She tried each time to take me out, but this time, I guess her plan was going to work.His stoic expression sent a cold chill down my body in the courtroom, and I felt numb when he pronounced my punishment with no atom of compassion.Can't he feel I'm carrying his son, or, all of a sudden, we don't matter anymore? If I wasn't important to him, what about my pup? Was he going us out like we didn't matter anymore to him?The thought of it made me cry more and more, hitting my fist on the ground. The emotions were consuming me the most, and I just couldn't help it.I was left here all alone in a dungeon, consumed with lon
Alpha Damian....I stood to my feet, walking from one end to the other. It's been a week and still no positive feedback from the guard I sent to spy for Arya in the neighboring pack.I rubbed my palms together, agitated about the whole situation."Alpha," I heard someone call from the midlink.“Speak to me.” “At the bar at the Crestmoon Pack, some people spoke about a girl about to be executed, but she was pregnant. She was given a few months till she gave birth,” the guard said, doubtful that it might be the Arya Alpha Damian spoke about."Pregnant,” I gasped, and then the memories of my conversation with Alice flooded my mind.“She killed my father, Damian.” I shut my eyes at the dead bodies littering all over the place, like there had been a battle.I watched the lifeless bodies of my own people lying helplessly on the ground. I grew bigger and bigger, but Alice was so shocked when she saw her father's body.His head decapitated from his body. A miserable way to die. Alice sobbed
Alpha JasperMy hands were shaking. I was sitting in my office, staring at nothing, my mind wandering far away.For the umpteenth time, I asked myself whether I was doing the right thing or not. My wolf was sober and quiet all this time; I could feel him whimper at the back of my head.A knock on the door diverted my attention, and the guard I sent to Ember Moon walked into my office in disguise.That's right, I have been spying on Embermoon for a long time now, waiting for when to strike them."Alpha," he said, bowing his head in respect."Ember Moon will be attacking tonight; they want to save the girl called Arya Scotler. She is the only person who has to save Luna Seraphine." "What!" I hopped to my feet, my gaze on the guard."Why am I just knowing this now? Why didn't you inform me earlier?" I spoke in a harsh tone, with angry evidence on my face.I have thought of so many ways to get my revenge on Embermoon. I was waiting for the right time to strike. Using Arya should be the
Selena walked back to the pack house, terrified and shocked to her bones. She had planned to take out Josh that same night, but it seems he had more enemies than she thought.She sneaked into her chambers and collapsed on her bed. Uncertainty slept through her; the same nightmare from years ago flooded her head.She had experienced a mental breakdown when she lost her parents years ago. Josh was brutally murdered the same way as her parents.She rolled herself up in a ball, trying so hard to sleep, but it never came; rather, she was taken back into her own thoughts. Her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't stop. Time passed as the chirping of the birds filled the room. Selena was still in that position, like she had been. She cried all night, frightened over what she saw."My lady, are you okay?" Her personal maid, who came to arrange the room the next morning, rushed to her side."I just have a headache, but it will be fine. Please continue with your work." The maid nodded a
Arya rested her back against the wall when two pairs of hands grabbed her.She tried to scream, but a cloth was wrapped over her mouth to stifle her cries. They gripped her arms and lifted her off the floor. She felt a sharp pain penetrate her skin, and slowly, she passed out, waking up in a cozy room."Where am I?" she asked, looking around and taking in her surroundings. She was lying on a bed."Who brought me here? What is going on?" She turned her head from one side to the other, her eyes wide with fear."My baby," she gasped, looking down at her bulging stomach. It was still intact. She sighed with relief; she had thought her captors had taken her baby from her.It was just a few weeks before her due date, which made her stomach churn with anxiety. The idea of her execution crossed her mind, and she felt uneasy.She gradually stood up from the bed and walked to the door, but it was locked from the outside. She heard voices from outside, like two people having a conversation."Hey
Arya flinched at a spot when she heard the familiar voice behind her—the voice she hadn't heard for months. She had thought she might have disappeared since she didn't bump into her earlier She turned to see Alice's stern look boring to her. Alice hadn't changed a bit; she was still the same as when Arya left. The same size and same color of hair.Arya squeezed her shaking hand into a ball, hiding it behind her back. She didn't want Alice to notice her nervousness. Arya should be angry at her, ready to take her revenge, which caused her heart rate to increase until she could hear it pounding in her ears.She still felt scared of Alice, even after so many months had passed.Arya wondered if her return to the pack was a blessing or if it would stir up more trouble for her. The voice in her subconscious that usually warned her of impending danger was silent. Now it was just her and her pup, who never ceased kicking in her stomach."I heard you've been rescued. It's good to see you back
