"Let's tell Alpha Kendrick to call the girl. We shouldn't waste anymore time" I said as I leaned forward and pecked Callan's lips."I love you Anaïs" Callan said and I smiled. If these truly were going to be our last days together then this is how I want to spend them. Kissing him and laughing with him."I love you too Caveman" I replied and smiled wider."The girl is here" I heard Alpha Kendrick say through the mindlink. Callan and I immediately contained ourselves as the leaders walked back into the conference room.I watched as Alpha Kendrick looked at Callan and then at me and smiled slightly. I nodded at him knowing he was content that Callan and I were on the same page.The guards came in holding the girl between them. She looked at no one else but me and bowed but I could see the scowl she was trying to hide. It was understandable that she would be angry..."We need you to tell us everything you know about Kajokh, where he is right now and anything that can help me get him" I t
"Anaïs" I turned my head to face the door as I watched my mate enter our room. Alpha Kendrick suggested that Callan and I should end the meeting of the leaders and let everybody take today off to deal with everything that we just found out."Everybody's back in their rooms?" I asked Callan and he nodded. Alpha Kendrick had asked him to personally escort Alpha Freya and Luna Jeda back to their rooms. They were the only leaders willing to stay away from their packs for so long. The rest had left for their packs right after the meeting."You're feeling alright? If you feel sick, I'll take you to the infirmary?" Callan asked as he sat down beside me on our bed."Just overwhelmed Callan" I said as I gave him a small smile."Well I'll go and get some food for you. You should eat and then sleep...if you want I can give a massage? Maybe that'll make you feel better or we can go for a run? Maybe it's your wolf that's-" I cut him off with a peck."I'm fine and I'm not just saying that for the s
I was all alone as I stood on a blood soaked battlefield and watched the bodies of my loved ones litter the field like fallen leaves in autumn.The scene twisted my heart and made it bleed because this was my worst nightmare. I was back in it again and I couldn't do anything.I watched as a cold, black shadow swept all over their bodies, one by one and sucked out their souls leaving their bodies looking ice cold.I hated this nightmare but like the thousand times I've suffered through it before, I had to silently wait for it to get over.So I kept on watching in silence as one by one the Black ghost sucked out their souls, feeling helpless and crushed.Like the last three times I woke up in my bed with a jolt. I was sweating all over and breathing hard. Oh I hate that nightmare...I've been seeing it constantly since I returned from Blue Eclipse. I knew it was just my fears and anxiety manifesting itself in the worst possible ways but I still couldn't get used to it.I slowly beckoned
"Anaïs are you feeling alright?" Luna Christy asked as a sudden expression of worry took over her face."Yes Luna I'm fine, I- I just think I might've gotten a bug or something." I said nervously. Please don't tell Callan Luna!"Well did you go to the infirmary?" Luna Christy asked. AAAAHH shit I can't lie to her now..."I- I couldn't go Luna" I said and watched as she looked at me with a confused expression."With everything that is going on Luna, If I told Callan that I'm sick then he'll make it into a huge deal and we can't delay the mission any longer. I just thought I'll keep it on the downlow for a little bit and go see a pack doctor without Callan finding out about it." I explained and watched as Luna Christy smiled a little."I definitely understand the troubles of having an alpha mate" Luna Christy said chuckling. Her words made me smile too."Well as long as you go see a doctor and are okay." Luna Christy said and I nodded.I bowed as Luna Christy started walking away and br
"I think we should head up now" Callan said as everybody was done eating their breakfast and the three of them were just chatting. It was close to 1 PM and the meeting was at 2...we had to start getting ready."Why don't you head up first? I need to talk to Sam about something" I asked Callan. My best friend looked at me and nodded as if understanding I needed to talk to her alone without me having to say anything.Callan nodded and I watched Sam say something to her mate which made him nod as well. Soon both our mates left us in the dinning room and the dread I was feeling multiplied by a thousand."So what's up?" Sam asked as she started settling back on the dinning table but I held her by the arm and shook my head no."We can't talk here. We're going back to my home" I said and watched as Sam became more confused but nevertheless nodded and started heading out towards the exit of the pack house.I knew I can trust Sam cause even if she wouldn't agree with me, she'll still support m
"I need to head back to the pack house...I got a meeting to attend" I said as I stood up from the kitchen stool. After Apollo and Sam had managed to calm me down, Apollo made me some green tea...to calm my nerves. It didn't work but I appreciated the sentiment."We'll meet after the meeting and hopefully get an answer I'll like" I said and I watched both of them nod weakly. All three of us felt the burden of this situation...there was no clear way out.I quickly walked back to the pack house to find my mate in our room, pacing back and forth. He rushed towards me as soon as I opened the door to our bedroom."Princess where have you been? It's almost two" Callan exclaimed but I looked at him with a blank expression, my mind still going back to what had went down in my parent's house."Hey? Are you okay?" Callan asked as he noticed I wasn't there. His question made me snap back to reality in an instant. I couldn't have Callan suspecting anything."Yea I'm fine...sorry I'm late" I said a
"Our best chance is the soul witch...I think she'll be able to sense a life inside you if there is one inside you that is and I heard she's still living outside Forestoak, she still hasn't moved onto our pack lands" Sam said. I mind linked Apollo and Sam about half an hour after the meeting ended. I didn't want to make Callan suspicious by rushing over to them right away.I didn't have a lot of time on my hand and I need to make sure whether I am indeed pregnant or not by tomorrow latest which means we need to make a plan quick!"We have already asked the witch for help 2 times and she has given it to us without asking much in return. What if this time I can't pay the price she asks for?" I said worried. I was lucky the witch had helped me out twice before without asking for much in return but who's to say she wouldn't ask for something impossible this time? And if she does and I can't give it to her, what other options do I have?"Well then there's literally nothing we can do because
As the distance between us and the soul witch decreased, a really bad feeling started growing in the pit of my stomach. It was the same sort of eerie chill I got that morning when Callan's house caught on fire. Cold shivers of dread were going up and down my spine and something felt...off."How far away are we from the Witch?" I asked. I didn't really know the way to her hut since last time when I was here, I fell asleep in the car."The sign board should be coming up in just a few" Sam said and turned around to look at me."Are you okay Anais?" She asked and I shook my head no."What's wrong Ani? Do you feel sick?" Apollo asked."Something...doesn't fell right" I said. It was like I had the spidy tingle or the wolfy itch to be biologically correct because something felt really off...."What do you mean?" Sam asked but before I could reply I felt that same tug on my body, the one I felt back at Blue Eclipse when Harrim transported me to the Quiche.It didn't take me long to understand
