Next chapter. I opened my eyes slowly, taking in my surroundings. I was now at home on the bed and Atlas was nowhere to be found. I pushed up from the bed, expecting it to hurt but I was surprised when the pain didn't come. Huh? Moving my body around, I realized that I had been healed by my wolf. “Nafira, Why did you heal me?" I hissed at her angrily. I had specifically told her not to heal me yet. Now what would I tell Atlas after he discovers that I healed fast? What excuse do I have? To him, I was just a human. I wanted to heal naturally no matter how long it took or maybe have her heal me slowly on a daily, not to heal me all at once. “You would have died if I didn't. I didn't have a choice. Your body was hurt too badly and you had some internal bleeding, if I didn't then–” she started to explain but I cut her off. “Then they would have taken me to a hospital and I would have gotten treated. Why did you have to… “ " You would have died even before you got to the hospital,

Next Chapter. I stood over the counter, making coffee absentmindedly. I haven't been able to focus since I had that conversation with Danica plus last night's events made it all worse for me. I hadn't spoken to Atlas since then, he left before I woke up and I haven't seen him since then. I grabbed my mug of hot coffee absentmindedly, I held the body of the mug forgetting that the coffee was still hot. I screamed when it burnt my head, my hand throbbing in pain. I instantly let go of the cup and I close my eyes, expecting the cup to break and the contents to splash on me. I was ready for the pain that was about to come. When I don't feel anything, I open my eyes to see the cup hovering in the air a few inches away from the ground. My palm was red and hot and I was afraid that it would blister. I asked my wolf to heal the burn and she happily complied. Turning to the door, I saw Batya standing at the entrance with a wide smile on her face. She looked like she was effortlessly ma

Maliya had said that Alisa was fine, so I felt relieved. I had immediately gone home after she had left. For the rest of the day, I was distracted as I thought about all I discussed with Maliya.Greta had come back and Daciana was in a bad state. If I wanted Daciana to survive, I had to go back to the Merge, taking Batya with me.But I didn't want to do something that would put Batya in danger, and taking her there would be doing exactly that.Wouldn't Greta come for Batya if we returned?What am I supposed to do in a situation like this? How would I–“Are you alright?" Atlas asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.Huh?I raised my head to look at him, realizing that I had zoned out.I looked around the table, feeling embarrassed when I saw Batya and Atlas staring at me."I have been trying to get your attention for a while now, but you weren't paying attention. Are you okay?” He repeated and I nodded my head, brushing him off." Yes, I am,” I said, picking up my spoon. I hadn't told

_Heyley’s POV_I dropped to a squat before Batya, rubbing her am with my hands. My heart was pounding in my chest as I stared at her.I had left Atlas house without letting him know and I turned my phone off. I knew he was going to call me but this was something I needed to do.When I come back I'd tell him the entire truth., hopefully he would take me back after knowing my secrets. This was something I needed to do unfortunately.Batya had asked me where we were going without Atlas but I didn't answer her question.She didn't even get to say good bye to him and it made me feel bad. What would she think of me after I tell her the truth? What would she think when I tell her that she wasn't my daughter and I had actually taken her from her real mother.“Do you remember the story of the princess I told you about? The one that was taken for her safety? And the two sisters who wanted to be princesses but they were raised by a witch?” I asked her and she nodded. She really loved the stor

Danica walked into the room, standing beside me.“How do you two know about Greta when we have been trying to keep it lowkey?” Yeran asked, he seemed suspicious of me and I couldn't blame him.I looked at him, and my answer came immediately.“That's not important. What is important right now is trying to restore Daciana back to her full health before Greta decides to attack again. If we are unable to do that, then it's of no use, the lycan territory wouldn't be able to stand a chance without that” I told them.“Even though Batya is my daughter, she also has another mother. Is it okay if Batya does the rituals?” Daciana said, her last question was directed at me and I was surprised that she wanted to ask me.Arnou looked angry that Daciana has asked me, ge still hated me for taking his daughter away and calling me her mother didn't sit well with him.He wanted to speak but he looked at Daciana then kept his mouth shut, his love for his wife wouldn't let him say anything to oppose her.
