Lihat lebih banyakThrough the long, treacherous night, a heavy cloud of despair weighed upon my heart. Each step I took towards the towering castle only deepened my sense of foreboding. The vast, rugged terrain seemed to conspire against us, causing me to stumble over hidden rocks, though I was grateful that the storm had yet to unleash its full fury.
The isolation I felt was palpable, seeping into my veins with every breath, as the reality of leaving our pack, our home, settled like a haunting spectre in my mind.Wrapped tightly in my scarf, its fabric offering a meagre shield against the biting wind, I trudged onward. The weight of responsibility bore down on me, the burden of ensuring my mother's safety and well-being resting solely on my shoulders. Her tired eyes, etched with lines of worry and fatigue, served as a constant reminder that I was her sole caretaker now.As we neared the summit of the mountain, exhaustion gnawed at my mother's strength. With laboured breaths, she signalled her need for a brief respite. Her voice, filled with weariness and desperation, quivered as she spoke, "I can't... go on... much longer, my dear. I've... failed you..."Tears warmed up in my eyes as I knelt beside her, taking her trembling hands in mine. "No, Mama," I whispered, my voice laced with determination. "You haven't failed me. We're in this together. We'll find a way. Just a little further, I promise."Her gaze, filled with love and gratitude, was locked with mine. "You're... so strong, my child. I couldn't ask for a better daughter." Her words, feeble but heartfelt, carried the weight of a lifetime of sacrifices. The words wrapped around me, so comforting and soothing.As fatigue and cold hugged into her old body, I clung to her, desperate to keep her with me. Panic laced my voice as I pleaded, "Stay with me, Mama. Please, have hope"Her voice, barely a whisper, reassured me with fading strength. "You... will always carry me... in your heart. You're... my strength."I sobbed, unable to hold back the flood of emotions. "But I need you here, Mama. I can't do this alone."A gentle smile curved her pale lips. "You're... never alone. Remember... our love... will guide you."At that moment, as her grip on life slipped away, my world shattered. I cradled her lifeless body, tears streaming down my cheeks, as I cried out in anguish. "Mama, please! Don't leave me! I need you!"But the wind carried my desperate pleas into the night, unanswered. My heart ached with a profound emptiness as if a vital piece had been torn away. Yet, even in my grief, her words echoed within me, igniting a flicker of determination to honour her memory and carry her love forward."I will make you proud, Mama," I vowed through tear-stained lips. "I'll find my way, and you'll be with me every step of the journey."In that desolate place, on that fateful night, I embraced the weight of her legacy and the love that would forever bind us together. And with a fragile spark of resilience, I rose to face the daunting path ahead, guided by the eternal flame of a mother's unwavering belief in her child.In the warmth of the room, I woke up with a pounding headache. Outside, footsteps echoed, and the forest appeared to recede. Searching for Mama, weakness consumed me. My body, once strong as a werewolf, now felt feeble and human.Aching ribs signalled my body's depletion. Gathering what little strength remained, I approached the door, desperate for help. Silence met my pleas, while whispers swirled in the distant hallway. I mustered all the energy left in me, crying out for Mama's presence. Before collapsing, the doorknob turned, and strong arms caught me. Blurred vision clouded my senses, but their comforting touch provided solace. Faint whispers soothed me, but I succumbed to unconsciousness once more, drifting away.As I stirred from my sleep, I found myself cradled in those same strong arms. They held me tenderly as if I were the most fragile thing in the world, and I found solace in their embrace. Frustration twisted my features as memories of that dreadful night flooded my mind, where everything I held dear was torn apart. Beads of sweat dotted my forehead, and the man beside me reached for a glass of water, offering it to me.Without hesitation, I greedily drank the water, my breath catching in my chest. He gently rubbed my back, his touch offering reassurance. Now, I could hear his whispered words, urging me to calm down. But how could I find calm amidst the storm of emotions brewing within me? The memories of that night played on a loop, and in the midst of it all, Mama's face flashed vividly before my eyes. Desperation surged through me, and I clutched onto the man, my voice trembling as I called out Mama's name, my anguish palpable.Another figure, a woman, appeared on the scene and my vision slowly cleared. The air was heavy with tragedy, and I felt disoriented, unaware of my surroundings. The woman approached, holding an injection in her hand, and pressed it against my skin. The needle pierced my flesh, causing me to flinch, while the man held me steadfastly. I looked up at him, a mixture of worry and confusion etched across my face, but he seemed unperturbed, a pillar of strength in the chaos surrounding us.It felt as though I had been cast into a dark abyss, imprisoned for a crime I hadn't committed. Yet, the touch of the man, his soothing presence, provided a temporary respite from the turmoil raging inside me. His chin rested gently atop my head, his arms encircling my trembling form. He whispered words of comfort, attempting to calm the storm within me.Pushing him away, a surge of determination coursed through me, and I confronted him, my voice wavering yet filled with urgency. "Where is Mama?" His gaze bore into mine, a mix of annoyance and weariness. He let out a heavy sigh before a commotion erupted, the entrance door bursting open simultaneously. And there stood a man, adorned with tattoos that adorned his neck and body, a striking figure.His breaths were slow, yet runny. I could see his muscles tense through his shirt but before he opened his mouth, the man beside me interrupted.Alpha Lucas POVI intentionally walked out on her so that she would be able to make her decision. I won't interrupt it..This would show which kind of woman she is. Some parents are not indeed parents, because they can't do something drastic for their daughter or son which is really bad.This is the period of Sacrifice, she has to sacrifice herself or her daughter would disappear forever.I know it is not something easy and I don't think there is anywhere that it is said that something like this would be easy.No! There is no place."I have decided!" I heard that voice thin and very sharp.That's Stella's mother's voice. I hope she has decided on something that would remedy her daughter's life.If she decides otherwise, I won't have a choice than let greed overtake me. I am so much in love with her daughter and wouldn't ditch her for anything, not even her mother's rejection."Okay…I am coming," I said and paced into my room hurriedly. I intentionally waited outside so that she could
McCartney's POV"I don't know what to do again. After a moment of her rant, I winked at Stella to edge her to the ground so that I could come in with soldiers to help out. Stella got my point and did as I said, but something drastic happened. I never expected that. Immediately, she edged her to the ground, running towards me. I took a run towards her, Jane stood up with a fierce speed and used the knife in her hand to stab her from her back. Stella is dead ma!" He narrated."What! Repeat what you just said,"I yelled trying to get the point at which he is coming from. "Stella is dead," he announced again.Penetrating my ears, I am almost going crazy at that moment. "Stella can't be dead! No…" I couldn't control the extreme tears that ran down my cheek.That moment, my hope was lost and my purpose of existence got shattered. "AHH! My only daughter…" pains plunged through my soul to an extent that I almost couldn't curtail it.That moment, memories of the dream I had came to reality. Th
Alpha Lucas POVThe brightness of the day brushed on my face, but I didn't wake up because of that until the sun shines bright in the sky.It's an early morning, so it's not that hot. Piercing my eyes, I opened my eyes immediately.'Damn! What a night!' I expressed while I stretched my body trying to make my bones relaxed.Yesterday was really hectic for me due to so many places I have to visit. I yawned aloud.Just then, my heart raced heavily due to what came to my mind at that moment."Tomorrow is the deal day," I muttered heavily. It's either tomorrow or no other day to this.'Damn!' I guess I didn't really plan this well. I don't not count yesterday with my plan, I would have carried her aloud immediately she opened her eyes.I will have to tell her this morning, so that she can use the remaining day to chill and enjoy herself.Although I know she will still think about it and ponder. Immediately she comes to resolve, she will chill a bit and by tomorrow night, everything will be
Alpha Lucas POV"So son! Since you said you have everything planned out, be weary of time. Do you understand?" He quickly added as he stood to leave."I understand Grandpa, I know what you are saying. I will do the needful," I said.He sighed and didn't bother saying any other thing again. I watch him take his leave gently.I understand his plight and I understand his reason for coming. He really cares and understands me a lot. He is a true father figure.Pacing out, he closed the door. I wonder how I will tell Stella's mother tomorrow.I already raised her anticipation, I hope I will be able to tell her every detail about her daughter. I so hope that she wont take everything with anger.My heart races fast as the clock beats hard. I wanted to sleep, but the words of grandpa wouldn't let me rest. I have forgotten about food already.I remembered I told her to go to the dining table to eat. I should be there to eat with her so that she won't feel lonely.'Damn!' I don't know how I forg
Alpha Lucas POV"This is my mansion. I hope you will enjoy staying here," I said.With smiles on her face, "this mansion…" she stressed.I wonder what is it she is thinking about. I guess a few past memories plunged her mind about the mansion."What is wrong?" I asked when I saw tears roll down her cheek."You can't understand, this mansion has been the place of torture and imprisonment for me for a very long time. I remembered when I was first carried into this. It was so terrible," she said.I couldn't smile, because I understand to what extent her grief and pain is. "I understand… McCartney," I said forgetting she has not informed me of her name.Piercing her ear, she looked at me and cleaned her eyes, "lets go inside… wait! How did you know my name?" She asked immediately.I have been expecting her to ask since she is a sensitive person. I won't lie to her. I will not just tell her the whole truth… some parts of the truth must be kept aside."I know you too well even though we hav
Alpha Lucas POVI couldn't believe my ears. My heart skipped several beats and different chills ran through my spine with lots of agony."What!" I sounded heavy for her to come again, because I am caught in-between. I don't know the answer to give.Maybe asking again would get me the perfect answer."Do you have my daughter?" She asked again as she continued to roll her eyes within its socket.I still couldn't believe how she would manage to ask that kind of question. I know how mother's heart is, but asking that kind of question now is unnecessary.I guess I should be the one to give her that kind of information if I wish to."Let's leave that for now and focus on you. How are you feeling?" I deviated from that and asked a better question.I know she should understand that I am not interested in giving her answers to her questions."I am feeling a lot better, but you know, I am having some body aches," she said."It will vanish soon," I said looking at her face."Does this mean I am
