Chapter 6

Penulis: Windborne
Third-Person POV

However, Fiona had vanished into the blizzard, untraceable, unable to come back.

Instead, the head of the wolf guards rushed in with urgent news. "Alpha King, there's trouble with the Kingdom. Our shipment to Shadow Valley was found with 'wolfbane' planted by Sierra. Shadow Valley demands we surrender our leader for judgment."

Rhett's expression darkened.

Recalling the concessions made to Shadow Valley for Sierra's safety, his fists tightened instinctively.

Those werewolves were treacherous, accepting favors only to turn and bite the hand that fed them.

"First, let's get control of the situation. Call the wolf guards and bring Sierra back," Rhett commanded, his face like thunder.

Soon after, a subordinate arrived, shaking with fear. "Alpha King... Sierra... She's escaped… The werewolves of Shadow Valley helped her from the inside out... We couldn't stop her..."

Rhett's eyes narrowed, his anger boiling over.

The breach with Shadow Valley was complete.

    Fiona's POVSeconds ticked by.Rhett tried to summon his strength to push it out, but his power was being swallowed up faster than he could gather it.Suddenly, all his wolf guards, both inside the cave and out, turned as one and bowed at my feet.He felt a twitch in his forehead as he looked around. The marks of loyalty that once branded his wolf guards had been replaced by my runes.It all clicked in his head.The mysterious force that had supported him to take on Shadow Valley was clear as day.He got what I was after, but by then, it did not matter anymore.Not a trace of anger showed on his face, just a bittersweet smile as he stopped fighting back.Ignoring the power draining out of him, he said softly, "Fiona, it was you all along..."It's fine. We're family, after all. Who's in charge doesn't really matter... Maybe I'd enjoy being a laid-back mate."I watched him, emotionless. With a gesture, one of the wolf guards handed me a contract.I snatched it and flung it at

    Sierra tried to feign ignorance, but Rhett's expression was unreadable.His loyal wolf guards brought the frail witch before her without delay.The witch, with her dying breath, recounted all that the Eye of God had witnessed, leaving Sierra no ground to stand on.Sierra's gaze darted away as tears streamed down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, Rhett. You know Fiona destroyed our pup first! I was so scared, I made a mistake."But it was out of love for you, I swear... I swear I'll never do it again. Please, can't you forgive me just this once? Rhett, please..."Her tears, once her weapon, then fell on barren ground.Rhett was unmoved, his face a mask of stone.With a flick, he cast her aside like a rag doll.Sierra watched him, her tears spent. When no mercy came, she let her mask slip."What now? You're going to pin everything on me?" Sierra's voice was laced with venom, her true colors showing."Wasn't it your command, Rhett? To cast her into the Howling Cave, to leave her to her fa

    The werewolves' chilling laughter still rang in my ears as the entrance to the Howling Cave loomed before me.Suddenly, a werewolf's scream pierced the air as he collapsed, a black-feathered arrow through his throat.One of Rhett's wolf guards, face ashen, received an urgent message and dashed to his leader's side."Alpha King! The witch at the Moon Goddess altar has proclaimed an oracle... Fiona is innocent!"Rhett's eyes narrowed, a vein throbbing on his forehead. "What did you say?"The terrified guard prostrated himself, silent.Rhett's subordinates were quick to act, shielding him as they made their way back to the Moon Goddess altar.The witch lay there, weakened, the Eye of the Moon Goddess stone before her glowing softly.Visions danced upon the stone.With just one look, Rhett's voice, rough as gravel, commanded, "Find Sierra and those werewolves of the Shadow Valley, and leave none behind! Anyone who laid a finger on my Fiona–rip them apart and feed them to the scave

    A knot tightened in my gut, a premonition that something was off.In a heartbeat, a dozen of towering werewolves burst from the canyon's shadows.We were encircled in an instant.Without a moment's hesitation, my silver dagger slid from its sleeve-holster into my grip."What's your game?"Sierra, under the point of my blade, did not cower. Instead, she laughed derisively."Relax, it'd be no fun to have them jump you just yet."Her words barely hung in the air when, to my shock, she crushed the lethal wolfsbane between her claws, sending a cloud of peculiar dust swirling into the air.She inhaled a bit, then began to tear at her own fur madly, exposing the pre-made slashes beneath, blood already oozing.I grasped her ploy in an instant, my heart sinking as I realized I had already breathed it in."Rhett... save me!"Her scream was still echoing when an immense force blasted the canyon entrance wide open.I whirled around, my heart in a vice.Rhett stood silhouetted against

    I woke up finding myself in the royal infirmary.I overheard the healer congratulate Rhett, "Alpha King, it's a miracle. Luna Queen's body has adapted in an extraordinary way, and the little one inside her... might just make it into the world safely."I froze, my hand instinctively going to my stomach.A little one...My frail human form was actually nurturing his pup...Rhett's face was half-shrouded in the flickering firelight, his expression unreadable.Time dragged on until he snuffed out the smoldering herbal wrap in his hand and ground it underfoot. "Keep her in the dark. Get rid of it."The healer sounded unsure, "Alpha King, humans are unique. This pup is a gift from the Moon Goddess. If you get rid of it now, the Luna Queen might never have another chance–"Rhett cut him off, "That's exactly why she can't have this chance. She's too vicious. If she has this pup, Sierra and her pup will never know peace."He added with disdain, "And let's not forget... the filthy human
