I had always been told how cunning witches could be, and not to trust them. Isador looks mischievous in her black flowing cape too.
Even though I don't know what she would expect from me after helping me, I come to a conclusion that I have no other choice at this very moment. I also think of the fact that I would get two wishes when I actually came for just one. It was a win for me, really.
It was already night time by now and the humid air caused my hair to stick to my face.
I brushed them off.
”Fine then. Let's get to it.” I say.
Isador smiles at me.
She looks like she could have been in her mid-years but the way she spoke and her voice said something different. So it was hard to really know.
She guides me a little further into the forest until we stand before a dingy looking hut that stood on the stump of a tree, with a thatch roof and a wooden staircase leading to the front door.
It was the perfect symbolism of a witch's hut. I had read of in old archives about witches, in my pack's library.
Not only was she creepy, but her house was too. She walked in — or rather climbed in, without looking back to check if I was following her.
Due to the severity and urgency of the situation at hand, I followed her in, without having a second look on how my surroundings looked.
The smell of burning incense slammed my nose immediately I walked in, while she sat yoga style on the floor.
I immediately sit with her.
"I need to warn my former pack the Night Valley pack that my pack has turned on them and that they need to escape. They've already set out! Please it's an emergency." I plead with her in a rush.
Isador says nothing but bring out a map.
She spreads it out and mutter some incompressible words under her breath. She closes her eye as she does this. Midway, she opens her eyes and slits her palm. She does it mercilessly and smoothly without flinching, as though she had done done it so many times before. The blood drips on the map and stick drawings of an army shows on the map heading to the Night Valley pack.
"The Blood Moon pack are only half an hour away from them. They are closing up on them in lightning speed. I don't know if there's much we can do at this point. What do you want to do?"
"No! We had a deal. Do something."
Was she about to back out?
"I never said I was backing out." She says, as though reading my mind.
“You can use your mindlink connection to speak to your brother."
I sigh defeatedly, "It got weak after I mated out of the pack."
"Then let's strengthen it."
Isador says and interlinks her hand with mine and I feel a bolt of charge course through me, which makes me almost faint.
I suddenly feel a connection to my former pack and to my brother Dante who is Alpha.
Immediately I'm in, Alpha Dante feels me as he says, "Rose."
Dante is my twin and growing up, we had an inseparable bond. He had never really been a fan of Jacob, even though he was my mate.
I reply in an unconventional way, "Dante, yes it's me. You guys have to run."
There's a moment of hesitation then, "Okay! What is going...? How... how did you get in my..."
"Dante please you and the rest of the pack should run! Now! My pack is coming to attack yours. Jacob issued the order. He's gone mad. Please just go!" I say in a rush cutting him mid sentence as this was more important and whisper the last part as a huge lump formed in my throat and my eyes watered.
"Gather everyone now! You need to leave. You have half an hour."
"Okay. Okay. I'd do just that."
Then he begins yelling that the emergency bell should be rung. They all gather and he relays his message urging each to leave.
I am still in his mind and I hear him and what's going on there. He shouts to the remaining wolves, "We don't have much time! Go! Go!! I'll meet you soon."
Once the last set were successfully sent out, Dante's Beta and elders stood with him but he also shouts at them.
Hesitantly, they leave.
I cry out, "No! Dante please run! They'll be here any minute!"
"I'll make sure no one is left and go too." He says to me through the link.
He runs around looking for any person who may still be around.
Just then, I see the Blood Moon pack wolves through the blood movements on the map that they were already there.
"Shit!" Alpha Dante say.
I believe he must have heard the sound growling and snarling wolves. I begin to weep.
"GET OUT OF THERE!!!"
But it was already too late
From where I am miles away, I am afraid at what they would do to my brother and I shake in fear.
The wolves had shifted to their human form after seeing an empty pack. But Logan isn't the type to give up too easily. He came on an assignment and he'd deliver. Whatsoever the circumstances. His order was to slay everyone in the Night Valley pack for the curse they had brought upon the Blood Moon pack by giving the an infertile Luna.
I still can believe my mate could do this.
I urge Dante as much he could as he could, even though it might hard as he was dealing with wolves that cam pick up scents. Someone may have already caught his scent.
My heart pounds badly that it hurts. It feels like I am right there with him.
Hot tears runs down my cheeks.
Dante is a part of me and I'd hate for anything to happen to him.
It didn't taken up to three minutes to find Alpha Dante.
Beta Logan forces Dante kneel before him, which he struggles to do and other wolves wrestle him down. I feel the energy of hatred and anger come off Dante as his wolf, an Alpha is upset to be made to kneel before lowly wolves.
He tries to fight and without a moment's hesitation his head is cut off by Logan.
"DANTE!" I scream ad the mindlink disconnects.
I cannot understand a single thing that goes on at that moment. My head bangs and for a moment I feel the world scattering at my Feet. I didn't know if I was to cry or if I was to laugh. "No Dante! This cannot be possible!" Tears trickle down my face at once as I ponder on Dante's death. I remembered him and the relationship we had. It was beautiful and serene bug then death had come to snatch him away from me. The tears trickles down non stop down my face while Isador stares on with her hands akimbo. I am sure she is waiting for me to stop crying so she can ask me to carry out her wish. I am prepared for it as I sit up from the floor. I gaze right into her eyes, wiping the tears that clouded my face."Are you alright now?" She ask in a sarcastic manner that somehow irritate me and made me upset. "Yes, I am... A bit.." Those are the ones that I could bring myself to say. Her eyes blue with a rare kind of glint, one that I try so hard to understand."So it's time for you to make your
I head back to blood moon pack, the one place I do not want to be, I can’t stop thinking about my last conversation with Dante before I witness the life drain out of him. when the mind link ends, I know he is gone My head is streaming with thoughts, I can’t understand why Jacob would do this, is this his plan all along? To replace me with another woman? The words of my mother-in-law kept ringing in my head I still wonder what the witch wants from me I can’t help but feel the sting of betrayal, one thing is sure Things won’t be the same between I and Jacob, I have been sitting in my chambers for hours staring into space while I let my thoughts fly free I decide to take a walk, but then there is a knock on the door. “Come in” I say Tara my personal maid peep her head through the door probably to check if it is okay to come in since she knows I’m upset. “Its okay Tara you can come in” I said “Luna rose, sorry for the disturbance but I will like to inform you that the alpha m
I stopball my actions, my mind is twirling, did he just say Sylvia? My wolf is running wild with rage. Does that mean the other woman is Sylvia? No this can’t be true I must be hearing things I remember a strange comment Vince told me a while back, now I understand. Now that I think of it the dots starts to connect from the lipstick stain, to Sylvia’s unsurprised expression, and the pregnancy. How did I not realize this sooner. I feel so stupid and used. Jacob was never mine to start with. He’s been sleeping with my best friend ever since the first day of our arranged mating. All the lies, the betrayal, especially with my best friend I feel Jacob stiffen under me. I am still straddling him. He seems to have sobered up a little and realized his slip up. Our eyes meet and I could see fear in his, because while I see fear in his eyes all he sees is rage in mine. Jacob is stunned. He doesn’t recognize who he is staring at anymore If looks could kill, he would be dead already. I a
I am glad I have left the Chambers without been seen, I have already avoid the guards and all that was left is to leave the inner courtyard and escape to the gate and then leave without been detected.My bag is hung on my shoulder and as I see that the coast was clear, I lung forward only to bump into someone, I silently pray it wasn't a guard or am elder but my face turn sour as Sylvia's face came in view.I shake my head because I think I was seeing things, is it because she has betray me and I am hurt that I'm seeing her face now? I ask myself but her voice jolt me out of my reverie."Going somewhere?" Sylvia asked.It is evident from her tone that she is mocking me, her stance means she came for war and I wasn't even prepared.
My eyes widen in shock as the guards run towards me, I yank my hands free from Sylvia's and begin to run, the guards chase after me but I was more fit as the Luna and ran faster, I could see the gates and I comfort myself that the chase will soon be over as soon as I manage to cross the gate. Halfway to the gates they are suddenly shut, my plans were ruined and I know I have no choice than to head for the inn, I was locked in already, I didn't know why they close the gates at first but when I hear screams of 'The alpha is unconscious' and 'There is an intruder' I know Jacob's body has been found. It was normal for the guards to assume Jacob's condition is as a result of some sort of conspiracy or attack, I made sure he isn't in a good shape, Jacob is unconscious and I am missing well technically missing until Sylvia decided to expose my presence. Now I'm the most suitable suspect for Jacob's death and the guards are hot on my trail, I facepalm myself as I began to regret lashing out
By the time I awakened up, the sun was shining brightly in the sky with sharp ray being sent across the city. I gaze around and find myself in Isador's hands. I try to understand why the weather changed swiftly within the few minutes it took him to perform the task but then I remember that I was only hallucinating. Nothing is changed except the effect in my eyes.Isador stares at me with a kind of affection that is strange to me. I take my eyes off her and I try to understand why I am blushing at the witch's words but it ends in futility. She smiles, realizing immediately that I am blushing. He runs his hand through my face with a sweet tenderness that tickles me. I laugh... A sweet fragrance laugh that shakes my body a bit."How do you feel now?" She ask without taking her hands off my Face. I feel euphoric as I wonder and try to understand that I am free Already from those blood sucking demons in human form."I feel okay and that's all that matters," I respond at once with a wide
As they continue to whip me, I fall to the ground, bruising my knees so badly. Tears gather in my eyes and I feel tyr earth crumbling before my very eyes. I stare around without anyone to help me. I had been deceived and now I'm no longer the free being I used to be."Take her away!" Their leader thunders with a loud voice and immediately, some set of wolves walk towards me and seize me at once, locking their hands on my arm. I wimp but make no more sound than that. As they carry me, I begin to feel extremely weak, so weak that I find it hard to carry myself from the floor. "What's going on with me?" I wonder as tears gather in my eyes. Well, it is strange any longer. For the past hour, tears has always gathered in my eyes but at this point, it's extremely different. I can no longer feel my wolf in me and that's the difference that is made. I turn my head around like that will make any difference and I will get my wolf back."What am I to do?" I ask myself as I desperately hope I wil
Chapter 13.The Trap netI am a bit surprised myself as I try to stare at the mark on my neck. Tears gather in my eyes the moment I realize that winter was an omega and now I will have to continue in her steps. I will have to bear the same fate and suffering she went through while she was alive. "Why do I have to suffer all of the time?" I ask myself Like that will change anything or make a difference. I dab My face with my hands, looking right into oblivion."This means that winter, the girl with so great a Destiny is an omega and belongs to the Lowest Rank to exist. How pathetic." I am jolted From my thoughts by the rough pull the alpha gives to me. I shiver, gazing into his eyes for him to have mercy on me... "How dare you an omega want to join the rank of the Alpha's courtesan train? You scumbag!" The one who brought me there yell with all his might, almost hitting me on my head. The alpha prevents him from doing so and I am a bit glad with that."What do we do with her sir?
