#Chapter24As Althea made her way towards the centre, he saw that her pack members had arrived as well. Many of them were fighting their own battle while some were helping the other pack win their fight. She looked around the chaotic mess that was once filled by the laughter of the kids running around. The scene disheartened her. She wanted to stop the war for once. While Ron just stood there watching Althea’s every move.When she reached the centre. She closed her eyes and stood there for a second inhaling the blood, rage, pain and sadness of the people that surrounded her. One of the rouges saw this as a chance to attack her. But when he came close to her, she opened her eyes. Her black eyes looked straight into his soul.“Stop this instant” she growled at him, making him stop on his path right in front of her. He then fell on his knees and bowed his head. The wind around her howled. Her dark hair fighting against the wind. Her eyes coal black that looked as if it could burn the
#Chapter25Ron was watching from the side-line all this time. He finally realized something. He found a purpose in his life again. He now knew why the goodness had forgiven him. He silently laughed at himself. Then looked around as Althea spoke again.“I’ll allow every single one of you to join my pack. But remember this, when you do become a member of my pack, we are friends, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives. We are family. And if anyone ever breaks my family, they shall burn in hell.” Althea’s voice boomed and got louder with each word.The rogues slowly started to get on their knees one by one until Ron was the only one standing at far end of the field.“By blood, I want you to swear your loyalty to each other and to Red healer pack.” She said again.All the rogues slit or bit their palm as blood dripped on the ground. And as if rehearsed, they all said it together.“I swear on my blood, my loyalty to Red healer pack and join this pack from this very moment” their voic
#Chapter26An echo of loud gasps followed the land. They were all shocked as to why he would reject her. She had powers. She was an Alpha. But above all, she had kindness like no other Alphas.Althea knew this was coming. If he didn’t do it, she would have done it. The guilt she felt was killing her. She gave a sad and knowing smile to which Aries gave a frown and a look of confusion.“I, Althea Garcia, Alpha of the red healer pack, accept your rejection” she whispers but loud enough for everyone to hear. Aries clenched his jaws, his face with so much sadness. But he didn’t say a word. Althea knew that the rejection will not be fully complete unless Aries says her full name. But Althea was not keen to break his heart further by revealing one more secret. So, Althea turned around to face her pack.“Let us all leave, we don’t belong here anymore” Althea said.It hurt both Aries and her but she could not show weakness to her pack. She then turned to look at Aries one last time.“I’m
#Chapter27Finally, after three days of running through the woods and catching the first flight to London, Althea and her pack reached home. All the new pack members were introduced into the pack the day after. Just after the introduction, Ron made his way to Althea.“I thought I would never see you again. Let alone here.” Althea said raising an eyebrow arms crossed.“Can I talk with you? Alone?” he asked. “Please.”Althea looked at him, telling him to follow her as she made her way deeper into the forest away from the pack house. And soon they reached a clearing far away from the crowd.“What do you want to talk about?” Althea questioned turning around to face him.“I felt a connection with you the day I saw you. And even more so when I knew who you were.” Ron said looking at Althea in the eye. Althea didn’t know how he knew her as she hasn’t said anything about Hela Silvermoon being her mother. But Ron somehow seemed to know.“How?” Althea asked.“I told you the goddess for
#Chapter28Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. Everything was normal in Althea's pack. She returned to those sleepless night she used to have because of her nightmares. She had begun training everyone a few days after they arrived back. Althea knew something big was going to happen soon and she wanted to prepare everyone against it.She had stopped smiling. The little light of life in her eyes upon meeting Aries had now died down. It was empty and void of any emotions, like before she met him. She would occasionally give an empty smile that did not reach her eyes. All her days would go by either doing paper work or training with her pack. She kept herself busy.One day, when as usual, Althea was in the training grounds with her warrior. Ashton came sprinting and stopped upon seeing Althea."Alpha" He called out loud and taking lungful breaths and trying to say something."Seth called" he huffed out."They were attacked."Althea was right in front of Ashton "What
#Chapter29But Ash interrupted her, "I don't understand what you are trying to say, Alpha. And I don't think I will like you to continue."+"Ash. I want you to listen to me." Althea said again with her voice slightly higher but had no Alpha tone in it. Because she did not want this to be a command. She wanted him to agree on this on his own accord. She wanted him to choose this path himself.This time Ash remained quiet. So, Althea continued."I want you to remain yourself. I want you all to remain as families, loving and protecting one another. I want you to unite everyone even when I am not here."Althea moved forward and reached her hand forward and took both his hands in hers."Ash, I want this promise from you. I want these unnecessary wars to stop. You need to keep this in mind that to forgive is to be free. Don't ever let hate decide the best for you, for it will eat you alive until you are nothing but an empty shell.""I ask you today, as a friend, please, lead this pack
#Chapter30"I will keep everyone united. If I have to be, I will be their hope. If they need healing, I will be there as well. We will all always be friends, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, we will all always remain as a family. No matter what. This I promise you today, Althea" Ash said firmly."Thank you." Althea's voice was barely above whisper. She gave him a small smile."The warriors must be waiting for us. Let's go" Althea said now raising her voice."Yes Alpha" Ash replied.All the warriors were lined up and waiting for their Alpha and Beta since their Gamma Liam was already there in front. When Althea and Ash reached the front, she gave a small nod to Liam and turned around so she was facing her pack warriors."My dear friends, today I stand among you all to share a sad news. Our family members were attacked today. I share this news with you not to grow hatred inside of you. I don't want any of you to be consumed by hatred." Althea's voice boomed."But if they
#Chapter31After promising to return home safe, Althea's team departed. It took them hours until they finally arrived at the Blue Blood pack. The pack did not look the same. What once had a field filled with children's laughter was empty and silent. Parents scared that their children would be taken away, forced their kids to stay inside.The security extra tight. The guards scattered every half a mile on top of patrollers and warriors every mile surrounding the whole territory. Matt arrived at the meeting point to get Althea's pack as their pack was permitted to kill anyone that tried to enter the territory.Matt was extremely happy to see Althea as that meant that his somehow lifeless Alpha might have some joy in life with his Luna by his side. Aries had been stern, rough and angry all the time after Althea left his side."Matt. Thank you so much for keeping them safe. I will never forget what you have done. Thank you." Althea said to Matt as soon as she saw him."Luna it is our
