Her soft moans and cries of pain made them both jolt up from their seats. After Ian left and Joanna showed no signs of waking up, Micah and Alasdair both fell asleep in their respective seats since they were now sure about when Joanna would be awake.It was her soft cries of pain that both made them awake and Micah immediately bolted out of the ward, bumping into Ian who was also about to come in."She's awake?" Ian questioned but his question was more like a statement. Although, it might sound stupid to others who heard him but he became aware as soon as Joanna woke up. It seemed like there was this sort of connection between them that he couldn't pinpoint."Yeah, she's writhing in pain," Micah added as he hastily walked to the side of Joanna's bed."I can see that," Ian replied irritatedly. For some reason, he suddenly had the urge to lash out at anyone or anything. This feeling was definitely unusual and the fact that it went as fast as it came made it hard for Ian to notice anythi
It's been few hours since Joanna had been conscious and she was yet to have a minute of quietness in her ward. Ian had spread the news that she was awake and the first person who hastily rushed into her ward was none other than the lady she tried saving. Joanna had long noticed something was wrong with both Alasdair and Micah. They weren't acting like themselves and this wasn't because she had been unconscious. She could tell that something big was definitely bothering them but couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was. She became more uncomfortable the moment the lady whom she tried saving walked into her ward. She noticed the woman's face looked sullen and guilty which made her slightly confused. Joanna could understand the fact that the lady might be guilty because of what had happened but there was this air in the ward that gave her a foreboding feeling. For some reason, she felt stuffy. She felt uncomfortable and her face was starting to show it. There was this voice ringing in
Suddenly, the door banged open and Mark rushed into the ward, sweating profusely. "They are here!" He announced audibly, taking deep breaths in between while struggling to get his head straight."Who are the 'they'?" Ian asked boredly, lightly rubbing Joanna's hair. Thankfully, Mark had come just at the right time when he was trying to find an excuse to give to Joanna. If only he knew the purpose of Mark's interruption, he'd have preferred telling Joanna where her child was."The alpha of Hillwood pack and some other alphas!" Mark gasped."What do they want this time?" Alasdair asked tiredly, having known those packs for their troubles. He could smell it in the air that they were up to no good this time. His only prayer was that his wolf wouldn't end up causing a war between two packs because he was currently finding it hard to control his wolf from letting out his anger."I don't know how they got to know this but news about us having a white wolf in our care has been spread out!" M
"Old man, what is the problem with you? Moreover, are you threatening my pack?" Alasdair leaned on the wall lazily, looking at the middle-aged men from the corner of his eyes."Umm ..wh..what he's trying to say is that if there is news about the white wolf, you should let everyone know so that we can all come to a conclusion on what to do about it," The man standing behind his beta immediately butted in. Alasdair almost burst into laughter from his sneaky words. He was very well aware that when their presence were announced, they were up to no good. "If that is all, you may leave," Alasdair stood straight and stared directly into their eyes. None of them dared to stare into his eyes for fear of him finding out their hidden secrets. This was like a secret power he had over them. Staring into their eyes always did the trick of knowing what they were up to. Seeing them lower their heads, Alasdair smirked and shook his head in pity. They dared to walk into the lion's den without prepar
Joanna watched herself step on the green grasses barefooted, smiling and happily running towards the voice.Was this a dream?It seemed like one yet also didn't seem like one. She watched herself run barefooted towards where the child's voice came from. As Joanna neared the voice, she caught sight of a small figure squatting in the distance, looking like a forest kid. She stealthily walked towards the kid, tilting her head in confusion when she noticed the color of the kid's hair. "H...hi..?" Joanna called out from behind, confused as to what to do in this type of situation.Joanna got no response and just as she was about to call out to the child again, she heard a beautiful humming sound. Never in her life had Joanna heard this tune before. She was so lost in listening to the tune and didn't realize the child was now standing before her.It wasn't until she felt a cold touch on her bare stomach did she see the kid. A loud gasp escaped her mouth as she stared intently at her carbon
They stood before a door and Joanna's body went stiff. She could feel it In her that this was where her dead daughter laid. Ian's situation was no different from Joanna's as he also was scared to show Joanna her dead child. He had passed through this experience and seeing someone dear to him pass through it again was no joke. He knew the agony of mothers having to bury their children with their own hands.Seeing Joanna pass through it was something that pained him deeply. Ian was beginning to have second thoughts about showing Joanna her child's body. Just when he was about to turn back with her, he was shocked by Joanna's next actions. She raised her hand and twisted the knob of the door, pushing it open to welcome the things that laid within.There In the middle of the dimly lit room on a small bed laid her baby whom she was unaware about, whose existence was unknown to her. Joanna's leg automatically carried her towards the figure laying on the bed. Truly, all life was lost
Micah's next action shocked both Ian and Joanna, for the nth time!He cleaned his tears with his sleeve and the tearful expression he had was nowhere to be seen again. What was more astonishing was that he turned to Joanna smiling brightly at her, his teeth out in full display that no one would be able to tell he was the man crying seconds ago. Between Joanna and Ian, none of them dared to ask him for fear that the unthinkable may happen. The situation couldn't be any more awkward and Joanna was starting to get uncomfortable."Hi, you're back! How was your trip?" Micah asked, smiling at Joanna who was finding it hard to comprehend the whole situation she just witnessed. Ian coughed lightly to reduce the awkwardness."She'll be f-, No, she's fine," Ian corrected himself and gave Joanna an encouraging smile. Alasdair was nowhere in sight at that moment, making Joanna's mood get slightly down. Micah nodded his head in understanding. No matter how hard he was trying to look cheerful,
***Blue moon packAlasdair and Mark were currently in Alasdair's office. They were hastily attending to the papers that were supposed to have been taken care of for weeks. Due to the unexpected incident, they hadn't been able to do so until now. Though Mark looked like he was intently focused on the documents, Alasdair who was utterly drained could tell he was distracted. If only the young Alpha knew what was between his childhood friends…"Enough! Tell me what the problem with you is," Alasdair slammed his hands on the table, watching Mark intently like a hawk intently watching a chick.A sigh escaped Mark's mouth as he rubbed his forehead in exhaustion. He raised his head and stared into Alasdair's eyes, his mouth opening and different emotions swirling in his orbs but then, he closed his mouth back immediately and his previous emotions were replaced by the one Alasdair was all too familiar with- Mark's daily expression that screamed 'I'm okay!' even if he wasn't. It was an express
