Setitik cahaya samar-samar berpendar di tengah samudera yang gelap. Sinar redupnya bergerak perlahan menepis lembaran air yang beriak tenang. Benda bundar yang menimbulkan cahaya tadi bukan kapal atau mercusuar, melainkan sebuah bola kaca dengan ruang kecil di bagian dalamnya. Berkas cahaya kebiruan itu terpancar dari sekeliling lengkungan kaca di bagian bawah bola tersebut.
Seorang gadis kecil berdiri di bagian dalam bola tadi. Kedua tangannya sibuk menggeser panel di hadapannya. Papan tipis berisikan sejuta kode itu merupakan alat kemudi benda yang dikendarainya. Namanya Fibrela Greinthlen. Matanya yang bulat besar dan dagunya yang tirus menatap suasana lautan dengan saksama. Jemarinya mengetuk tepi panel sambil sesekali menoleh ke pemandangan di balik kaca.
Di sampingnya, berdiri pria tua dengan jenggot pendek kelabu memenuhi dagu dan rahang atasnya. Pandangannya lurus tak peduli akan kesibukan yang tengah dikerjakan gadis di sebelahnya itu.
“Lepaskan dia di sini, Louie,” ujar Fibrela. Jari-jari mungilnya berhenti menari di atas panel tadi.
Dia menekan salah satu tombol berwarna merah yang sedikit lebih menonjol dari tombol lain. Benda bulat yang mereka tumpangi itu berderu mengantar mereka menuju permukaan laut yang sama kelamnya dengan di bawah sana.
Setelah berulang kali mengitari permukaan air yang gelap, Fibrela akhirnya menghentikan benda bulat tersebut. Dia membuka penutup kaca yang melingkupi sisi belakang kabin. Laki-laki tua yang bernama Louie tadi mengangkat kotak besar yang ada di belakang kendaraan mereka.
Louie meletakkan kotak tadi di atas permukaan air yang tenang. Kaca pelindungnya memperlihatkan sesosok anak perempuan yang tengah terlelap di dalam kotak tersebut. Sekelilingnya terdapat bantalan lembut yang menjaga tubuhnya tetap hangat. Di bagian atasnya juga terdapat kipas kecil sehingga udara dari bagian luar tetap dapat masuk ke dalam.
Fibrela menutup kaca pelindungnya setelah memastikan kotak tersebut mengapung dengan stabil. Kemudian dia kembali mengendarai bola kaca tadi memasuki permukaan air. Mesin kendaraan mereka berdesing halus, membawa mereka menembus kegelapan malam di dasar samudera.
Hawa dingin kembali menyelubungi udara di bagian dalam kabin tersebut, menciptakan suasana mencekam dalam senyap. Wajah putih menyiratkan kemuraman yang dalam. Dengung pusaran air di kejauhan menggaungkan alunan melankolis tak bernada. Suasana kelam tadi menyatu menerobos benaknya dan membuatnya kian beku.
“Luxavar hanya akan membuatnya lebih menderita,” gumam Fibrela. “Aku sudah melakukan yang terbaik.”
Gerau samudera berpusar menenggelamkan percakapan tadi dan perlahan-lahan menghanyutkan cahayanya dalam bias benhur laut.
Fibrela mengatupkan kedua matanya sejenak. Berhenti memperhatikan keremangan tak berujung yang ada di hadapannya. Bola kaca tadi menyelinap ke lapisan samudera yang lebih suram lagi. Meninggalkan sisa-sisa gelombang cahaya yang tak lagi kuasa menerangi lapisan terdalamnya.
Sementara itu, air laut terus menggerus kotak yang berisi anak kecil tadi menuju daratan penantian. Percikan busa laut yang dingin membangunkan kesadarannya. Ketakutan menguasai sang anak. Namun tangisan yang menyayat tadi tak sanggup membangkitkan sang penyelamat.
Lambat laun panggilannya itu memudar. Memudar hingga menyisakan sedikit getaran nasib dan secuil keberuntungan yang akan menentukan masa depannya.
Chapter Hundred and EightElsa's POVI ran to where they were and stabbed him in the back with my dagger, causing him to yell. "Get on with the fight, Dad," I urged him, seeing that he got distracted by my decision to fight Murray. "I can handle this.""What is this?" Murray asked, looking surprised. "Why won't you let me fulfil my destiny? You know that you can't beat me, right?""You think so?" I raised my right brow."I didn't think that you'd be here, Elsa. I felt you'd be inside with your child in your belly or your arms," he explained. "I have not stopped loving you and I'd hate to kill you. Step away or you'll leave me no choice but to take your life.""You can try," I chuckled, gripping my knife very strongly. "I taught you everything you know, Elsa. Without me, you'd have been nothing," he reminded me. "Now, I didn't teach you everything I know. Just the ones I felt you should. I'll teach you now. I'll make you learn by experience. Some things are better learned that way."H
Chapter Hundred and SevenElsa's POV"Where's my baby? Let me have my baby," I said to the Pack nurse as she stood over me. "You'll have her soon, my Queen," she calmly replied. "He's being cleaned up by the maids."I stared at the ceiling feeling so exhausted. The pain that I felt and the energy I had to muster during my baby's childbirth had begun to take a huge toll on me. "Did you just say, 'He?'" I asked, as it suddenly struck me that she was referring to my child as a boy."Yes, my Queen. It's a baby boy and he looks so handsome," she gushed."Oh. Here he is," she said as one of the maids walked to my bed with my child in her hands.I managed to sit up with my back pressed against the wall for support and the maid handed my baby over to me. He was beautiful; so beautiful that I felt a few tears drop from my eyes as I stared at him. He had blue eyes, just like his father and he took my hair. My boy was a blondie. I bent and kissed him on the forehead, very happy to have him.
Chapter Hundred And SixMurray's POV"Hold," I screamed at my men as we got very close to the borders of the Stronghold Pack. I had sent three of our men to head over to the borders to find out what was going on and they were yet to return. So, I felt the need to hold on until they did, instead of rushing in blindly. I paused to look at the army that I had with me. I had managed to convince two other Rogue Kings to join us with their warriors in our quest to take Davon out. It wasn't that easy as they didn't trust me at first. Just like Alpha Grim, they thought that I had come to lead them to their demise and if Alpha Grim didn't intervene, they'd never have joined us. They weren't that large but with more than 15 carriages full of our combined warriors, I had no doubts that we were going to overwhelm them with ease. I also believed that the Rogues and I were the perfect match. I had trained the Rogues in my Pack for several months and I knew they were ready. But more than that, t
Chapter Hundred and FiveAlpha Davon's POV"The men from the Runway Pack have arrived, Alpha," one of the guards said to me as he rushed into the throne room. "Is Alpha Duncan with them?" I asked the guard but he just gawked at me, looking very clueless. "I'm sorry, I didn't look, " he confessed. "I just ran here as soon as I saw their carriage approaching the borders.""Thank you."I stood, headed out of the throne room and began to make my way to the borders. I wanted to welcome Alpha Duncan myself. I felt it would mean a lot to him if I did that, and encourage his people to give their all in the fight.I was a few metres away from the Pack Square when I saw them approaching. They were massive; even more than I had expected them to be. I tried to count but stopped when I was at ten carriages, only because they had gotten to where I stood and came to a halt. So I had to give my attention to the Alpha King who was making his way out of his carriage to meet up with me. "Greetings,
Chapter Hundred And FourAlpha Davon's POVEight Months Later"Alpha, we've got a letter," a guard walked into the throne room with a piece of paper in his hand. Two other guards walked in with him and just stood beside the door as he approached me with the paper. "From whom?" I asked, stretching my hand to take the paper from him. "My apologies, my Alpha. Good morning, Sir," he greeted. The urgency of what he had seemed to have caused him to forget that he was to greet me once he saw me. The other guards with him also did the same. They all bowed and greeted as they ought.I just nodded curtly and went back to my question. "Where did you get this from?" I asked again. "It was delivered to us by a Rogue. He came to us with a white flag and when we asked him to approach us, he came to us and handed the paper over to us. He said it came from your brother…""It came from Murray?" I asked in shock."Yes, Sir. It did."As I stared at the paper, I wondered what he wanted this time. We ha
Chapter Hundred and ThreeElsa's POV"My Queen, you're awake," Abigail remarked as my eyes opened slowly. I turned to my left and saw her holding onto my left hand with tears in her eyes and I wondered what happened to me. There were others in the room; the Pack nurse and two of her trainees. One of the guards was there too. They all had their gazes fixed on me when I woke up and it felt so overwhelming. Slowly, I began to recall what had happened. I remembered how I was talking to Abigail close to the garden before I felt weak and my eyes got hazy. It became clear to me exactly what had happened to me…I had fallen to the ground, unconscious. That must have been why I found myself in my room with no knowledge of how I got there. What I couldn't tell was what caused me to lose consciousness in the first place. "What happened?" I asked, trying in vain to sit up. "You must relax, my Queen," Abigail said, seeing that I struggled to get up. "You don't need to exert yourself at the mo
