Before the coven of witches arrived, the Red moon pack members all arrived safely, with none of the members missing. They were all ushered into Alasdair's home which already contained the Blue moon pack members. "Joanna, you need to stay in. I promise, we would rescue your son and bring him back to you," Sebastian spoke, finally braving up to speak to her."No, stay out of my way. This is my fight," Joanna hissed while he immediately retreated."No, this is our fight!" Mark yelled as he threw his fist into the air."Fine, just be safe," Sebastian gave up stopping her while Joanna ignored his words.Mark was carried outside, behind the flowers where his body was hidden.This was a big risk they had all taken to ensure he'd get back to normal as soon as they spotted Helen, the one who put him in this condition.Althea who had also been locked in Alasdair's house during the previous battle was allowed to join the fight. No one dared to stop her since they all knew her main aim. Alasda
This left Aric with one choice which was to kill every witch he came across as fast as he could.Soon enough, he went unto action.Elias and Stella both noticed Altair who was planning on killing another guard and immediately went to stop him. They both directed the guards to kill the other witches while they fought with Altair who seemed displeased by their actions."Why is no one taking my side?" Altair screamed blindly as he fought with them . He was seconds away from changing to his wolf form and they could see it. "... because you're doing the wrong thing. No one is going to take your side," Stella yelled as she dodged his incoming blow.Her words seemed to further anger Altair as he charged towards her once more, leaving Elias out of it. Midway,he changed into his wolf form while Stella transformed to the creature that once haunted Joanna. Everyone on the battlefield could see Stella change and the moment she did, the witches who were starting to have the upper hand all star
"Who's next?" Swinging his sword on his shoulder, Elias smiled. Immediately, the young witches stepped backwards in fear, too scared to put to practice the spell they had been taught. "Cowards!" Helen's mother yelled as she came to stand in front of them. "Give up Joanna and we would let her baby go!" She yelled loudly,staring at Elias straight in the eye. Her thoughts were unknown but just as they all thought, Alan was being used as a bargaining chip."How do you expect us to give her up when her son is nowhere in sight?" Mark hissed, glaring at the witches who looked like a colony of ants. Unhappy with what was said by Mark, Helen's mother glared at him but the young Beta didn't flinch. He couldn't be bothered with the nuisance of a witch and was more bothered about Joanna and his mate. He couldn't see Helen too which further made him on edge but he couldn't show it for fear of alerting the enemies. Slowly, Celine walked out from behind the forest, standing right behind the c
Rising, Joanna realized she was still in the same position she was in before the dizziness took over. She didn't need to be told that was happening to her was no ordinary thing."Mother this isn't normal....," Joanna whispered to her mother while the latter nodded her head in understanding. " I know sweetheart and I believe the only person with such immense power, able to do this to you is none other than Celine, she who you've been in contact with" Stella explained to Joanna who now had an incredulous look on her face."Waaaa....," Alan's loud cry of pain was enough to snap Joanna out of her thoughts. Balling her fists by her side, she slowly removed herself away from. the group, moving slowly towards the witches."What did you do to me and my son?" She hissed, glaring straight at Celine. "Hm, you know what annoys me the most about you? You act like the superior one, walking like everyone is below you. I hate you," Celine seemed to have lost control as she raised a knife in the air,
Joanna's POV;I had only decided to take a rest in the forest under the trees when I heard them once again, my pursuers. My feet were soiled with the soil, battered and stained with my blood. It's been two months but this race was never ending. Sighing repeatedly, I stared up at the sky which was starting to turn dark. Time? I no longer had a connection with time as everyday was a race that had no ending. The streams of tears that had stained and dried on my cheeks weren't to be recounted. My body ached,my feet ached, my bones were weak and even my wolf had closed herself away from me. I had missed the voices of humans as it had been two treacherous months been alone in a forest, running away from my pursuers while protecting the tiny bump in my stomach. I closed my eyes, hoping to get few minutes of sleep but the slight creak among the forest sounds jolted me awake.Without further ado, I picked up my duffel bag and began running as fast as my leg could carry me. The pounding behi
Joanna's POV;"Ann, be strong! Be strong! No matter what it takes,be strong!" I heard someone yell."Who are you? Where are you?" I asked back. I had no idea where I was. It was void of any living thing, it seemed like I was drowned Into a dark abyss but as I stared straight ahead, there was a bright light shining. The voice seemed to be coming from there but the more I moved closer to the light, the farther it seemed."You don't need to know who I am. Be strong! It is never the end." I heard again. I couldn't tell if the voice belonged to a man or a woman but I was more concerned about what he/she meant.I felt a sharp pain on my neck making me gasp as my eyes flew open. "Wonderful!" That was the first word that came out of my mouth as I took in my surroundings. Firstly, if anyone ever told you that you'd wake up in a place where you are a stranger in after losing conciousness, you were lied to! A total lie! Here I was, once again, staring at the familiar cell I was put in the day
Joanna's POV;Despite all he did to me, I couldn't help getting attracted to him! I curse the mate bond! His features were forever in my head. His black hair, black orbs, thick eyebrows, pointy nose and his sharp jawline with his well sculpted face remained etched unto my brain. I sighed for the nth time as I watched him walk out of the cell after leaving me with a threat. He didn't have to because I was planning not to leave this cell again. Two months of running barefooted had done enough to me. I lied back on the rock hard bed and closed my eyes as I rubbed my small bump. I was thankful it hadn't began to show as it would only cause more problems for me. I couldn't bear the thought of my baby getting killed. Even if he/she would also be the daughter/son of the man that used me, I don't care as far as he/she was also my blood and flesh.I internally calculated how long Sebastian would be gone for. Judging by how happy he looked, I knew it'd take long before he arrived. Twenty
Joanna's POV;I had been living with Sebastian and had also learned to accept the intimacy he was having with me at night. Though, it hurt to see him being with another woman during the day but there was nothing I could do. I was just another powerless and helpless Breeder who had no one by her side. I cursed my step father for making me go through this! He had gambled with my life and future, making my hatred for him deepen further. I was in the backyard of Sebastian's exclusive house, doing menial jobs when I heard the familiar taunts behind me. "Well..well...well, if it isn't the slut!" Mitchell, Sebastian's cousin who always found joy in hurting me spoke up first. I believed I had grown immune to her insults but it would be a lie if I said her words still weren't hurting me."What do you want, Mitchelle?" I sighed, uprooting the stems of weeds. It wasn't that the pack didn't have a gardener but this was also part of my punishment."She's so weird! Looking like a slut with her in
