Alana's POVI heard a low guttural growl come from behind me and I slowly turned. I almost jumped out of my skin when I saw a pack of wolves, staring hungrily at me. I took small steps backwards, thinking of how to escape the wolves."Fuck," I muttered as my leg went into the brooks cold water. I had nowhere to run to anymore so I did the only thing that came to my mind. "Go away." As if understanding my commands, the wolves immediately turned and ran away. I stood, perplexed as I watched them disappear around a corner.Without wasting more time, I turned and ran the other direction. I didn't care if they had actually understood my command or if it was just luck but I certainly did not want to encounter any wolf again. I ran for a few minutes when I decided to stop. My head was pounding and the baby within me was kicking hard. The whole place began to spin and I was not sure I would be able to take any other step.I raised my head and saw that the path I was following led to an open
Lucian's POVI was shocked when I saw Queen Zelda cast a spell on Alana. I could not believe that she had gone against our agreement. I would have brought her down from where she was but Titan had already thought of it first as he picked up a spear and threw it at her. But not before she had already thrown Alana into the woods.Immediately Queen Zelda disappeared after the spear pierced her, Iago fell to the ground unconscious."Iago," I screamed as I bent down beside him and began to shake him. "Iago wake up." It didn't take up to a second after I screamed Iago's name that he sat back up with a start."W-what... what happened?" he muttered as he looked around him, fear in his eyes. It was then that I realized that Queen Zelda had casted a spell on him while he was wounded back at the infirmary. Her death had just caused him to come back to himself."We need to go after the witches and bring them down," I said as I helped him up and ran towards my horse.I and my army chased the witch
Titans POVI woke up late in the night after I had a nightmare. I looked around me, wondering what I was doing laying on the floor when I saw the piece of cloth in my hand. Alana's cloth. I sighed and laid back down on the floor as I closed my eyes, trying to go back to sleep. I was definitely not ready to go back to bed now. The pain of the hard stony ground brushing against my flesh at least took my mind off Alana for now.I felt the presence of sleep come and was about drifting off when I heard someone walk into the weapons room and stood above me. I opened my eyes slowly and sighed after seeing that it was Jacob."If you're here to tell me to go to my room, you are only wasting your--""She's gone, Titan," Jacob said, quickly cutting me off. I frowned and looked up at him."Who's gone?""Nixie," Jacob croaked. "Nixie is gone."*****I and Jacob walked towards Nixies room, Alana's piece of cloth tied around my right arm. I could not believe what Jacob had told me back at the weapon
Titans POVI laid on my bed, staring at my ceiling as different thoughts raced through my mind. Stretching my hand to the other side of my bed, I could not help but think about Alana. That was where she laid, where we made love, where I professed my love to her continuously every night. Now she was gone.I sighed and turned my head to the side, staring at my alarm clock. I had decided to come sleep in my room after my encounter with Clara, hoping that the comfort of my bed will carry me to sleep but here I was, eyes wide open and sleep hundreds of meters from where I laid.Placing my hand on my biceps, I ran my finger over Alana's torn piece of cloth which was still tied to my arm. I felt like letting go off the clothe was letting go of her and I couldn't find the strength to. "Oh, Alana," I muttered, as if calling her name will cause her to appear beside me once more. If she was with Lucian, I could not help but think about the kind of pain that she would be going through in his han
Lucian's POVI had decided not to sleep in the same room with Diana as I knew doing that would mean more quarrels and fight so I decided to sleep in the guest room that was a little bit farther than ours. As I laid in my bed, I could not stop thinking about what Diana had said. I knew she was sad and pained hut it wasn't my fault. The fact that she had given birth to a baby for me was not enough assurance that I was going to have one that would live to take over my alphahood when I die. But still, what she said about the moon goddess using all that was happening as a sign for me to accept what was still made me think my act through."Maybe Diana is right," I said to myself as I sat back up on my bed. "Maybe all that has been happening is a sign. Maybe the moon goddess doesn't want me to bring back Alana to the pack." A different thoughts then crossed my mind. What if the baby died after I decided to let go of Alana? That would mean that all that I had gone through was all to no avai
Titans POV"I-I don't understand what you mean?" I muttered, confusing clouding my expression. "How will it affect the leadership of the pack?""All that you have been doing, the great disrespect that you have shown and the shame that you have brought to this pack has all been counted against you," Elder Drake said with a frown. "These past few moons, you have not been showing the competence and qualities of a good alpha, one that is capable of leading this pack.""So, my meeting the witches has already put me at risk of loosing my alpha-hood." I scoffed in disbelief. "I make a decision that will benefit this pack and this is the conclusion that you all have come to in regards of the decision that I took.""You made a decision to meet with the witches for the gods sake," Elder Han shouted, his eyes red with anger. "Your decision did not and most definitely will not benefit this pack but has brought and will still bring shame and dishonor to it.""You even disregarded the council of th
Titans POVI thought of meeting our shaman to ask him for the interpretation of my dream as I knew that it had meaning but I immediately wiped the thought from my head. I had something to take care of first before attending to a dream.After having my bath, I decided to go meet with our gamma, Kargo, and ask him for advice on what I had to do to bring back Alana. I had at first wanted to go meet Jacob for the advice but with the current state he was in, I was not sure he would be able to give good advices. Kargo was my only option now that Nixie too was gone and since he was experienced in the field of battle even before I became an alpha, I knew he would give me a good advice. I knew taking my army to go fight him would be stupid as I had no idea who he had on his side this time. If he was desperate enough to go meet the witches for help so that he could have Alana, there was no reason for him not to ask for the alliance of the goblins or the ogres. I had to be careful this time."K
Alana's POV"Ugh," I groaned as I held my aching head. I tried to open my eyes but I didn't have the strength to. I laid back on the bed that I was on for some seconds before finally opening my eyes but I immediately closed them back after the stinging light coming from above me hit them.I raised my left hand to block the light but dropped them back down after I felt a stinging pain on my wrist. I slowly turned my head to the side and saw a slim long tube connected from a bag filled with liquids above me down to my wrist. That was when I shot my eyes open.I looked around me, trying to decipher where I was. Last thing I had remembered was me trying to get to the asphalt of a road. How then did I appear in this white room?I stretched my right arm and tried to remove the tube from my wrist but I dropped it back after I felt a shocking pain shoot up my arm. I turned my head and saw a white bandage covering my right arm, from the elbow down to the wrist. Where was I?I turned my head sh
