151: Fierce Stubbornness

CadeonMy eyes are intently on the healer as she leaves the bedroom.By the goddess, what the hell is going on? Why does one bad thing seem to happen right after another? When Lili passed out in my arms, I could hardly believe it. It happened out of nowhere. We were talking and then she was falling.I still don't understand what happened."How is she?" I ask right away. "Please, tell me she's alright. What happened to her? What does she have?"The healer looks back and forth between me and Deo. We're the only ones here and I didn't have time to call for anyone else."Well, at first I didn't know what it could've been, because there are a great number of ailments that could lead to a sudden blackout."The woman clears her throat and I stare back at her impatiently. I'm imagining all sorts of things leaving her lips. Terminal illness. Death. I don't know what I'll do with myself if I lose her. That can't happen—it's out of the question."But I did a physical exam, and I can positively s

152: Distance

LiliethWhen the morning comes, as soon as I'm alone, my hand moves tentatively over my belly.There's no bump yet—in fact, I don't know how the healer figured out that I was with child. It's incredible to me, how they always know.Tingles spread across my fingertips as I caress my belly. This is just the aftermath of the shock that took hold of me when Cadeon told me the truth. Pregnant. I can't believe it. Every time the word crosses my mind, I have this feeling that I'm going to pass out.How can I be pregnant?Yes, it is a shock to me. There's a concoction we take once a month to prevent pregnancies, but I didn't think I had to start taking it now. I mean, it's so soon. Isn't the bond meant to be stronger before my body becomes receptive to his seed? Well, I guess the only thing that can explain this is the fact that we've always had a strong connection.Heck, I think that when he gave me his blood and I could feel his emotions, a partial bond formed between us, which is why this

153: Breaking Point

LiliethThere isn't much time left until the big fight that will determine our future, and in my opinion, things have only gotten worse since I found out about the pregnancy.And I mean between me and Cadeon.He's not been talking to me as much, and whenever he does, his words are clipped and he makes a point of keeping the conversation short. Because of this, I'm starting to avoid talking to him at all. I forget he's being a dick sometimes and go over to him to say something and he'll brush me off. I mean, he'll answer my question and he never ignores me, but I can tell the difference. I know how we used to be.I hate that he's treating me this way when he told me he supported my decision!I haven't confronted him about it; I know it'll only lead to a big fight. I'm avoiding that because everyone's on edge and I don't want to say something I won't be able to take back. Even Corey disagrees with me. He wants me to stay with him and Deo, but every time I think about being away from tha

154: The Pain of Betrayal

LiliethMarching next to the others makes me feel better about the decision.The day has arrived, and it's finally happening. Today will decide whether or not all our efforts and sacrifices were actually worth it, and honestly, I'm fraught with nerves. I can barely breathe without feeling tingles of nervousness traveling up and down my spine.I woke up extra early so I wouldn't come across anyone telling me what I have to do. I got dressed and joined the early group. Nobody looked twice at me. As everyone gathered and we got into position, I saw Cadeon move to the front of the line, where he joined Draven's side. He didn't search the crowd for me. In fact, I felt invisible to the point of wondering if I was here at all.Maybe I was just imagining things.But the motivating speech was given, and now, we're on the way. Some of us are in wolf form while the rest are armed and marching. We go on foot. We'll be meeting in the middle, meaning the attack won't be in the southern territory, n

155: Throbbing

Cadeon"We did the right thing," Draven assures me as we walk side by side. "Lilieth would've only gotten herself hurt. You did the right thing by coming to me for this. I don't believe it would've been easier for you to deal with that on your own."I mutter an agreement, but I don't say much. The truth is that I'm crushed by this whole situation—I really didn't want things to get to this point. But Lili is so damn stubborn and she refuses to listen.What was I supposed to do? Let her be killed?"She's a handful," he comments. "It almost makes me not envy you.""She'll be furious," I state."That she will, but I think the joy of our victory will make this go away. I think that deep down, she's only afraid of not being able to help the people she loves when they need it most. Waiting for good news from a distance is unnerving.""I guess so."I have to focus on the fight ahead of us because it won't be easy—we might joke that this will be the end and that we'll win, but nobody has that

156: Horror Show

LiliethI don't have time to be shocked.The second Petra sees me, she comes running. Usually, I'm alert and ready to fight, but right now, I'm partially paralyzed by fear. When she crashes into me, we both hit the ground, but thankfully, I land on my side.Petra, who's now unrecognizable and feral, slashes me with her knife, cutting me right in the forearm. The pain activates my fight or flight, and my grip on my knife tightens. I block her next attack and cut her right in the abdomen. It slices through her top and leaves a thin red line across her skin.She looks down at the cut and smiles.While my focus is on her, I'm thinking about Wenton and what he's waiting for to attack. The sight of his face shocks me, because he's wearing an eyepatch and his face is scarred, much like mine is. Is that from the arrow I shot at him? I remember seeing blood.I don't have time to think about this too deeply, though. That doesn't matter.If they form a team against me, I'm done for. I won't be a

157: Brothers

CadeonI open my eyes and find that I'm not in the middle of the forest as I expected.Immediately, I try to rise without even figuring out where I am exactly. That's when I realize that I'm restrained; I can't move.What the hell is going on? Where am I?Wildly, I look around. I'm strapped to a table—or a flat surface. I don't know. Either way, I'm in an elevated position, and my wrists are bound to the sides of the table. So are my feet. My movements are restricted because the binds are too tight.There's a relentless pounding in my head. I remember being hit over the head with something by an unknown assailant, but how did I get transported all the way here?How? How is it possible that I don't remember it at all? How long have I been out for?Where's Lili? What happened?After a few minutes, I hear a door opening, and judging by the sound it makes, it's a plain wooden door. I try to tuck my chin to have a look around, and I see a familiar face approaching me.My father.The way he

158: Victory

LiliethI don't know how much time passes, as I lose complete track of it—all I know is that I stay in this cabin for the longest time, unable to move or take my eyes off Draven.I can't believe this happened.He can't be dead.It's starting to get cold, and the rain is pouring down harder than ever before while the cool air is blowing felt through the open door. The fire I started earlier is long gone, and room is devoid of warmth. I'm heartbroken in ways that can't be described in words.How does one survive such trauma? How? What am I supposed to do about all this? I just watched a man who protected me for so long and fought for so many people be killed by a murderous bastard, and I had no way to help him even though I saw the attack coming.And that's what's destroying me.That I saw it. I saw that Wenton wasn't dead yet, and I had the certainty that he was going to move and try to do something. Hell, I saw it before it happened.But I froze.I stood there like a useless thing, sc

159: In The Name of Love

CadeonThe end of the war brought with it a hell of a mess.Draven was the one who was technically in charge of the revolution, and his death caused an outcry big enough to make thing tip in the favor of the surviving Alphas who wanted nothing to do with the new system that would be implemented. This happened because we couldn't find common ground with the Emberborns from other territories, and for a second there, it felt like the war would never truly end.But we bounced back and resolved the matter in a way that benefited everyone.And that's what matters.Golen took charge of almost everything, and he helped me divide the southern territories among the chosen Emberborns to lead. There would be no way of picking up the packs from what they were originally, so new packs had to be created, and new members were assigned to each one. Of course, they could decide where they wanted to go and what they'd do upon joining the new pack. We gave everyone an opportunity to contribute. Everyone

Epilogue

LiliethI'm standing on the balcony of our bedroom, staring at the moon in the sky.The scene is one I've dreamt of for years, and now, we finally have it. The village is back on its feet, and I can see all the pretty lights from our room. Honestly, every time I thought about giving up, I would remember this scene.When I first came here, it was so mesmerizing to me. I had the impression that the place came right out of a fairytale, and now, here we are, living it.Honestly? I'm sure that Draven would approve. Yes, this is his pack, and this was his vision, but he wanted it so badly that it would be a sin to leave his pack behind and rebuild elsewhere. We had the perfect foundation here.People died, and people were born. And this place is still standing.I find that admirable.I still haven't stopped thinking about that day. It scarred me, to an extent. And you never know how much something will affect you until much later. That was the case with me—sometimes, I'll wake up in the mid
