An unconscious Merry is laying down on a large table, Rune proceeds to tie her up, the door to the room opened, Gunner and Kaiden stepped in.The Alpha is dressed in his regalia, and the expression on his face was far away from happiness, the wizard had noticed that the Alpha was filled with great sadness because it was fully evident on his face throughout the days he was being prepared for the sacrifice and now, it seems the sadness had increased a hundred folds.“All ready.” Rune said drawing her master’s attention to herself, she stepped away from where she was standing, she walked over to them.Gunner, again, looked at Kaiden whose eyes were fixed on the human tied up, he sighed, he knows the Alpha is hurting because they would be taking a life but there was nothing they could do “Get the dagger.” As those words left the wizard’s month, Kaiden sighed deeply.Rune went to the bag that was at the other corner, she brings out a black cloth that wrapped something, she went to her mast

**Many years ago**His eyes were bloodshot, and from the tears that had formed in his eyes, he let them flow freely, he didn't fight them.“Derek?” A teen girl stood up from beside an older woman with who she had similar features, she went to the teenage boy who is kneeling beside the bed where an old man was laying, dying.“He is dying.” He said, his voice already cracked, he began sobbing “Danica..” He called as he looked up at the girl beside him, she looked had tears in her eyes too “He is not gonna die right?” He asked, she only sighed, he sobbed all the more, he very well knew the answer to his question.Danica bent to his level and patted him “We are here for you. We are your family now.” She said in a low tone trying to fight the tears that were fighting to be let out – trying to be strong for him.“Jessie?” A frail voice called, the older woman sprang up to her feet and she rushed to his side, Derek held his hand which was shakin

“Where am I?” He asked himself as he sat up, he looked around, recognition slowly seeped in.This was his room, he was laying on his bed, although he could still feel pain but not so much, he could feel ointment all over his body especially his face.He slowly stood up, wondering how he got to be in his room or was he dreaming?He pinched himself “Ahhhh.” He winced in pain, he had pinched an injured part.His mind drifted to what had happened before everything turned black....“I can smell them, they are coming!” Chase said as he rushes into the room they were staying.Madam Dera sprang to her feet in fear, she was treating the Alpha whose wounds were just so deep and scattered around his body, even her powers were doing little then expected.“What do we do?” The older woman asked with fear.“Don’t do anything, let them come in, let them in.” Kaiden said with a weak voice.Madam Dera shook her head “My lord you don’t deserve any of these, my lord this is too much, you shouldn’t be pu

**Danica's Flashes**°°°“A curse?” Derek asked with a frown.“Yes, and he is here to get it broken.” She said as she took up the glass of juice and was sipping, she stopped as her mind seems to ring on something the same with Derek.“Does it requires a sacrifice?” Derek asked, Danica, recollecting what she had heard nodded and gasped.“That means he needs.. a..a human.” Danica said with widened eyes “And if it’s what I am thinking the girl must love him genuinely.” “Really?” Derek asked, Danica, got up from his lap.She nodded “That’s how most sacrifices are, and since it involves a human, I bet that’s what it is.”Derek suddenly chuckled making Danica frown “What if the sacrifice didn’t go as planned?” he asked.Danica shook her head “That would be disastrous.”Derek smiled, a very evil smile “Why does that sound interesting to me.” He said with a grin. °°°°°°“I think she is in love with him.” Danica said to a frowning Derek, both were on the bed cuddling, with the duvets cover

(Continuation of Flashback)°°“You are whatttttttt?!!!” Darius yelled looking at his mate in surprise and unbelief, Lea who had tears in her eyes rushed to Darius who had sprung up from his seat, she hugged him.She sobbed “Finally, baby, we are gonna be parents, finally!” She cried.Darius could not believe his ear, he placed his nose on her neck and sniffed her, her altered scent filled his nose.“So the morning sleepiness, the sickness, and the swing of moods and emotions are because we are having a baby?” He asked, Lea, chuckled as she nodded over his shoulder.He carried her bridal style and twirled around, laughing and grateful that finally they were answered, their expectations were met.He placed her on her feet and neared his face to hers and spoke slowly and seductively “This new scent of yours is making me hungry for you.” Lea blushed, she tried to turn her face away but her lips were captured in a sweet, slow and love-filled, passionate kiss.Now all her fears of dying w
