Alpha Khal And The Witch's Revenge

“How are you feeling now, Elise? ”I asked, turning to look at the older wolf. She had come to me earlier with a backache, and I had helped her straighten out her back. She was one of the few wolves in the pack who knew about my inabilities and that I hadn't shifted into a wolf like the other pack members.She had seen me one day healing myself after a nasty fall, and since then, she had kept my secret, only telling a few others about my abilities. She knew as well as I did that the pack would not accept me.As for why my abilities were a secret? Well, let me reintroduce myself.My name is Mira Carter, and I am the daughter of the pack’s warrior leader Alpha Carter.I had always been one of the odd wolves in the pack. My father is an Alpha, while my mother is a human. They were mates and they fell in love, and after some time, my mother had me.Growing up in Mystic Shadow pack as a mixed wolf was kind of hard. My mother was the closest thing to what I was in the entire park, and altho

I heard footsteps behind me, soft and gliding. I quickly turned around, my heart racing. Nobody had reason to go through this same route right now. They were all at the party, and I had to be careful. “Who is that?”No response. “Who is there? I'm warning you, I have a knife!” To prove my point, I placed my hands at my waist, my heart beating like a drum. I stepped away from the light and hid in a corner. I stayed ready to fight for my life, till I saw my mum come out from the shadows, walking really slow. “Mira! Honey? Where are you?”Oh. “Mum, it's you. Sorry about that.”“About what?” she asked, and I shrugged it off. “Anyway, “she continued, “I'm sorry about all that drama at the party. And Alpha Khal. How are you holding up?”I felt the tears rushing to my eyes, so before they came out, I turned away from my mother.“It's fine. I'm fine. Could you go back to the party? We'll talk after.”“Are you sure?” she asked, a frown staining her features. “Yes, I am. Go back to the pa

That morning, I walked in the forest for hours on end, stepping on the dried leaves and twigs. Every few minutes I would see something I wanted to show my mum or dad and then realize that I no longer had them. It was lonely and scared, but I kept on walking. Throughout that day, I saw all sorts of creatures and animals, but for some reason, they stuck by me. A squirrel followed me the farthest, going along with me for hours on end. He would jump in the trees while we walked, and when he sensed danger, he would come to a stop. At night I would light a fire under the trees to ward away the animals that would come near me. He stayed with me for a few days, finding me the best fruits, and then he disappeared suddenly.When I got to a place I felt comfortable in, I stopped my journey. It was close to a river and had a lot of trees, for shade, and a little abandoned cave I could stay in at night. There were fruit bushes and all the herbs I needed to continue my witchcraft practice, and I

Mira's POV As I had no connection to the real world, I have no idea how much time had passed. I know it has been years though. My parent's trees were now fully fledged. Oh how I missed my mother. She would have comforted me. I love being in the wild but it gets lonely, very lonely. I decided to suck it up and go to the river to find dinner. The moon shone brightly. I walked out of my cave, the air was cool, the birds asleep. That's when I saw her. She was on the floor and her head was facing the other way. A lone wolf. At first I hid because although I had healed some lone wolves in the past, I was traumatized and would love to stay alive thank you very much. "Who are you?", I asked. She didn't reply. I then caught the moonlight reflecting off a pool she was in. "That doesn't make sense the river is over there-the river is over there-THE RIVER IS OVER THERE." She was bleeding, profusely. I ran over and asked what had happened. She didn't reply and her breaths were heavily

Chapter 9 Although Mira had only known Anabelle for a few days, she had come to find her as a fast friend. She could hunt as well in her human form and her wolf form, and Mira had found her to be quite an asset. She could identify a lot of the plants that Mira needed for her poultices and elixirs, and she even knew how to grind them too, which made her a perfect friend for Mira, and a very useful one too. They would go down the river for dinner every night, searching for fish or freshly wounded animals that were too close to death to be saved. On one of their walks along the river banks, Mira stared into the running clear water only to see Anabelle's reflection looking right back at her. Their aim that night was to get food for dinner, but Mira wanted to know who she had been sharing her home with a little better. “So, Anabelle, tell me more about yourself,” she said, keeping her face neutral. “So far, all I know about you is that you're from Spooky Hollow, you are the only surv
