Lahat ng Kabanata ng Desert Cliff's Goddess: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

"Please sit back down, we have much to discuss in little time. I know I said I would be leaving in the morning, but I am scheduled to leave in two hours. I didn't want to say anything in front of the others, because this information could cause a war." I paused for a moment to let them prepare themselves. Then I continued, "I have been harboring a secret for many years now. After the unfortunate events that happened last year, I believe it's time to shine some light on our situation." Trying to think of the best approach, Teresa starts talking. "Alpha Kam, what do you mean this could start a war? Our people are barely holding on now. We cannot afford to risk them or our land again." and she was right. For someone so young, she could recall what happened. The tragic loss of my wife, our Luna. Our land use to be covered with trees, wildflowers, and there was a vast amount of wildlife. Now we were surrounded by cliffs and dirt, one of the effects from the last war that happened five yea

Teresa's POV Beta Saul followed me out of the pack house, passing through the trees, and into the wastelands. Thank the Moon Goddess for my abilities. Only a select few are blessed with special abilities. However, in our pack, it seemed like everyone had one. We have a woman who grow plants in this desert and a man who could create water. I did not believe my abilities were beneficial to the pack, like theirs, so I kept it my secret. No one knew, not even the Alpha. I mean....my father. How could they keep this from me? The people who I thought were my parents took this with them to their graves. Did it not bother them? Did they not feel like they were being deceitful? I am sure they did it for the right reasons but what exactly was it? Alpha Kam gave no details, which led me to spiral in my own mind. So busy with my thoughts, I did not realize Beta Saul was closing in. I heard a growl that sounded murderous come from the shadows. I looked up and Beta was a few feet away in his wolf

My nerves finally gave in as my adrenaline rush disappeared. Falling on my ass and then laying down on my back to breathe a sigh of relief. Kai was whimpering and when I asked if everything was alright, he was silent. I couldn’t think about it long before I felt something wet touch my fingers. I bring my hand into view and jump up. Looking at where the bone was previously poking out, blood was gushing out. I did everything right, right? I didn't put too much pressure when pushing the bone into place. So, what happened?'Kai? Kai!?' The only response I got was his whimpers. 'Kai, y-you knew.... you knew and didn't say anything. She will bleed out if you don't help me.''There's nothing we can do. She's lost too much blood. I can't sense her wolf.' he solemnly whispers. 'You tried Jesse. None of this is your fault. Remember that.'I was not going to accept this outcome. I know there is something I can do, but what though? I don't have much time to think, she

Camelia's POVTears ran down my face as I heard her question, "Mom?""Yes dear. I am your biological mother or as your thoughts say, 'your birth giver'." That stung but I couldn't blame her. Looking into her eyes, I can see how her life has been. I don't understand how Kam could let those mutts treat our daughter that way. She is of royal blood. Kam grabs my hand while rubbing my shoulder with his left. Looking into his eyes, I understand why he didn't interfere. We discussed this many times and fought almost every day before giving her up. She needed to be protected."Teresa, do not be angry with Camelia. She wanted to keep you...." Wrong choice of words my love because here came Teresa, damn near biting his head off."So, it was you then?! You didn't want me?!" Kam backed up with his hands in the air as she charged towards him. Pointing her finger at him. I chuckled a little because she definitely had his attitude. "And you...." Uh oh, maybe

Before I can take a step out the door, I sense something wrong. Fear, desperation. I look back at her and see tears running down the sides of her face. Kai stops his battle for control, and we rush back to her side. I wipe the tears off her cheeks and can feel her relax to my touch. She even moves a bit more into my hand. I feel my heart beating with absolute joy. She stops crying and I wipe the rest of her tears off of her face and neck. Then I notice the dry blood on her shoulder and look down at her leg. How did I not notice it when I was drooling over her perfect body? I remember there was a water well out back, so I need to find a bucket or something to carry it in. I get up and start searching the house. Wandering into the kitchen, I start searching the cupboards and there was so many. I doubt all of them were used in the past but to my surprise, they were all filled. Cups, plates, and bowls occupied two of them. There were canned goods and nonperishables in four of them. Cookin
