Chapter 4

Elena's Pov

I leapt into the air, sounds of cracking bones filled the air as I transformed into my wolf Evie, landing on all fours. I continued, sprinting, trailing my son's scent. His whimper filled my heart like a shot of siren. 

His lavender oil scent filled the air like never before sending his adrenaline everywhere, I could sense his fear, his pain. I could sense him whole. I didn't wait, didn't pause, I continued through the hall heading wherever my paw sent me. 

As soon as I got to the great hall, I saw my son lying on the floor, convulsing. Slowly, I got close to him, channelling all my healing energy into my paw before placing it on him. 

I let out a deep sigh. As I counted each second that died. 1... 2... 30... But, he didn't stop the convulsion, I was getting weaker as his energy was draining me like a suction. My wolf blinked, a drop of tear falling. I could sense the overwhelming pain inside of me.

" Err!" I let out a low growl, channeling the remaining force in me. And yes, it stopped. He stopped convulsing, now a greater problem occurred. He was supposed to wake up, but he didn't. He just laid there as if nothing's wrong but I couldn't feel him anymore. 

I listened to his heartbeat... Thump... Thump.... Thump... Thump.... 

With each thump, it got slower and slower. What's happening? I couldn't feel my son anymore, he was slowly departing. 

I raised my head, letting out a loud deafening howl, shattering every sound barrier of this palace. No, no, no, my son can't die. 

As soon as I howled, people started showing up in the palace. I turned to find Blake coming, he wasn't running, but he was fast, very fast. He picked Moses up, and immediately,he disappeared into the distance. Without warning I sprinted after him. 

I wasn't as fast as a vampire, but I knew he would slow down knowing I am coming. I didn't slow down at all, I sprinted into the woods, following his scent. The damp smell of mud hitting my nose like a sharp blade. 

I didn't slow down, I continued. Suddenly he stopped, in front of an old ancient house, it had a crest symbol right above it, and it was glowing. I felt my fur straightened, oh goodness, a strange energy sinking in.

I didn't transform, I just moved closer, slowly. My paws were flying on top of the solid ground. 

" She is a healer, and a seer." Blake said, his voice cold as always. " I think she can help." He added, 

I lowered my head curtly, like a curt nod. Rubbing my fur against his body. I stared at the door, and as I anticipated, it swung open. And she stood there, right beside the door. Her body was smuggled and wrinkled. Her flesh dangling like they would fall off any minute. 

" The destroyer..." She whispered, her voice, husk like the sound of a ghost. 

" What does that mean?" Blake asked, moving closer to her. 

I growled instinctively, staring at Blake hoping he would just stop whatever he was doing and would face me and tell me what was happening. 

" Give her the cloak, let her transform, I need to ask a few questions." The old woman said,. placing a cloak right on my son's body, since Blake could not collect the cloak himself. 

The old woman turned, moving into the small house. The woods used to make this house were old and looked like it would be dispatched any second. But, I transformed back to my human form. 

As soon as my feet touched the ground, the cold air seemed to sink into my body, and I became cold instantly. Thank goodness the old lady had prepared a cloak for me. Immediately,I draped it around my body. 

" Thanks!" I said to Blake, moving my hands forward to collect Moses, but he walked past me heading into the old house. 

As I stepped in, I felt a sudden warmth. It was so unbelievable.The old woman sat on her porch, and right in front of her she had drawn a circle using salt and mountain ash, and in the circle was the same crest symbol I saw right above the house. 

". Place him in the circle, without breaking the formation." She said, giving a curt nod. 

" Okay," Blake and I chorused. 

As soon as Blake placed Moses in it, a sudden mist aroused from the circle as the salt started merging with the mountain ash. 

" I don't have the power to save the destroyer," she said. Her voice husk. 

" What do you mean?" I asked, my voice shaky, tears welled up in my eyes. 

" Your son is no ordinary wolf, he's a destroyer. Right now his dark powers are taking over." She said, her voice low. 

" How do we stop it?" I asked, 

Despite the fact that I felt like asking more questions, I still want my son to survive. I stared at the old woman, waiting for her to speak. 

" Where is his father?" She asked. 

Almost immediately, my world came crumbling, why

does she need Jayden? " Wh.... Wh... Wha... What?" I stuttered.
