CHAPTER 13: ITS TOO LATE FOR ANY REGRETS

With the pleasantries exchanged, Elowyn found Hazel quite easy to talk to. She wasn’t as scary as she would have thought if she hadn’t been forced to watch her ancestry drama. So, she was at ease when talking with her.

Through the chat, she also learnt that her children didn’t survive. Hazel had them cremated since it was bad luck to keep them for a long time. Elowyn was unconscious for months, thus Hazel’s drastic move.

Elowyn felt pain when she learnt that her babies were cremated, but it was still better. After all, their ashes were still there. Hazel even gave her the two urns with the ashes. She felt complicated holding them.

Since Hazel was very open with her, she also shared what she felt wasn’t harmful to Hazel. About her abilities and all that.

Hazel felt grateful when she heard Elowyn telling her about all that. It seemed that she didn’t save the wrong person.

After getting to know each other, the most important question was; what was Elowyn going to do now?

When that question was asked, Elowyn’s eyes flickered with a murderous glint that Hazel didn’t miss. She couldn’t help but shudder to imagine how bad it was going to be for those people who wronged Elowyn.

“Hehe, I am going to become stronger and make their lives a living hell!” she coldly chuckled, tilting her head to the side, a sinister gaze in her eyes as she firmly said that.

Hazel nonetheless smiled, thinking about how insane Elowyn was, but her actions were the kind that she didn’t object to. After all, she truly liked people who take matters into their own hands and deal with their own problems.

How could their enemies just love happily when they were suffering?

Seeing that her thoughts aligned pretty well with hers, Hazel couldn’t help but be enthusiastic about the topic and Elowyn, who had been dying about avenging herself, happily obliged.

While the two were happily scheming and plotting, somewhere else, a man was on the verge of dying.

“Arghhhhh~” his piercing screams filled the room, making everyone in the room run around in panic.

“Hold him down! Are you that weak?” Veda screamed hysterically at the useless people inside the bedroom as she held her bulging belly, veins nearly popping out.

Being restrained by three strong men was Hilary who from nowhere suddenly started sweating, startling Veda who was hoping for another dreamless night.

As if that wasn’t shocking enough, in a span of minutes, Hilary started twitching dramatically, his eyes rolling furiously and it looked too shocking. She could only call for help.

By the time the beta, other warriors and healers came to the bedroom. Hilary was screaming in pain, clutching his chest, with veins popping.

Veda was scared but she couldn’t go anywhere near him at all. She protected her belly, as sweat dripped from her body not understanding why Hilary was suffering like that from nowhere.

He had been down ever since the disappearance of Elowyn. She was truly hurt and upset because she had an inkling that he became soft hearted and let Elowyn leave.

However, upon seeing how he barely left the pack, was absentminded and all that. She decided to forgive him.

He might think about that unlucky vixen as long as he doesn’t find her. She was fine with that. But what she couldn’t accept was this current situation.

She didn’t know how to deal with it at all.

Just what was wrong with him?

The warriors managed to hold Hilary down and he was given a calming injection which made things easier.

He was tied to the bed, and the healers started wiping the blood from his mouth. However, his body remained twitching as he let out painful groans.

“Have you found out what’s going on?” Veda asked concernedly, worry in her tone as she glared at the female healer.

The female healer shook her head with a sigh as she looked at Veda.

“Luna, honestly, I am not sure. I haven’t come across something so bizarre like this in my healer career!”

She was at a loss, to be honest. Especially when seeing that the Alpha was in serious pain despite the healing that everyone had just done.

That answer wasn’t what Veda wanted to hear. She angrily stomped her feet as she glared at the useless healer before shifting to the male one and asking the same question.

The male healer understood that Luna’s emotions weren’t stable, he decided not to be vague but gave as much detail as he could since he noticed something.

“Luna, I am afraid that the Alpha is suffering pain from the heart from what I have seen. If that is indeed the case, then I am afraid that only he can heal this pain. We can’t interfere,” he truthfully said, recalling how the Alpha’s symptoms looked similar to those of people who had just gone through a rejection.

When a mate rejects another, the tethering gets cut. He had seen and treated a lot of werewolves who suffered from that pain. Though it wasn’t fully healing them. However, their pain and symptoms didn’t seem to be as severe as what he was seeing. But that was the only illness he could think about at the moment, though it didn’t make sense.

After all, the Alpha only had one mate. The Luna who was currently acting all worried at the moment. They were obviously connected. So, there was no possibility that the Alpha got rejected, right?

There was possibly no way that could happen, right?

The room was filled with silence as everyone tried to digest the healer’s words, which didn’t seem to make sense and yet did at the same time.

While everyone else was confused, Hilary was dying. He was feeling as if he was being torn in shreds, and it was definitely not a joke.

[Hilary, she is dead. She is dead, isn’t she? Otherwise, why will it hurt this much?] Adolf was howling in pain and Hilary, in his spirit form, wasn’t any better.

It all started the night he stabbed Elowyn.

Hilary was in shambles when Veda vanished three years ago. That was the mate, his mate the Moon Goddess gave to him, and yet she vanished without a trace.

The pain was so much for him that there were so many times he wanted to end it all, but he kept on having hope.

One day, he met her, Elowyn, in the forest. She saved him, or rather, she schemed against him and made it look like she saved him. Either way, after that saving grace. He brought her to the pack where they got together and were lovers for three years.

He thought that as long as he didn’t find Veda, he didn’t mind marrying Elowyn and living with her. But who would have known that a few months before the wedding, Veda returned to his life? After learning the painful events she went through, his heart faltered.

Moreover, they were mates and since there wasn’t any rejection previously, he felt that it was better to be with her. Besides, Veda was better compared to Elowyn, who was human. It was very hard for the others to accept a human as a Luna. The elders wanted him to pick a chosen mate amongst the wolf pack members or from other packs. At least, that way they could do something meaningful for the pack.

In other words, Elowyn didn’t have a lot of support. Unfortunately, she knew nothing about that.
