The next day, Alex tried to avoid Mia as much as he could.

He woke up really early and left the castle before she woke up.

He knew she was still sleeping because her heart rate was all he could hear all through the night.

Sleep had been coming easily to him and the nightmares had stopped. He had a good guess it he had something to do with Mia.

He went to his favourite spot just by the small river bank, which was at the outskirts of the woods. It had been his spot for years since he turned seven. He was sure no one would find him here as people didn't usually reach the outskirts except they asked permission.

He needed sometime to himself and what better place is there to get just that if not his favourite place in the world?

He closed his eyes for a while and didn't know when he slept off. He woke to the morning sun shining in his face. He peeled his eyes open and shielded his sight with his hand.

The sun had set and he felt even more compelled to stay a while longer.

He let his mind w

    Mia woke up the next morning to find Alex gone to her disappointment. She couldn't feel anything through the bond. Not since the day at the river.Mia didn't understand what he had accused her of or what had happened in the river or what he even was, but she was willing to wait patiently for him to tell her. She would wait until he was ready."Good morning your highness,"Anne walked into Mia's room with a tray in her hands. "Hope you slept well."She smiled down at Mia and Mia smiled up at her, thankful for some company."I did," Mia replied cheerily and regretted it cause her throat was quick to protest."That's good to know, Luna." Anne handed her a cup of her medicine. It was green and unpleasant but Jericho had said it'd work and so far so good, it had, so she couldn't complain even if that was all she wanted to do."You know, the girls and I really miss you and of course, your tales." Anne pointed out and they both chuckled lightly. "We wish you a quick recovery.""Thanks, Anne.

They clearly needed it, but Lisa needed it the most.They walked hand in hand towards the small pink flower shop she had just pointed out. Once they got close enough, they realized it wasn't as small as they had thought it was. Instead, it was really beautiful. It was decorated perfectly with red and pink roses which smelled wonderful.

    Alex retired to his room as quickly as he could. He didn't know how much longer he could stay standing without fainting from all the pain he was going through.The physician was called by Hendrix as Alex laid weakly on his bed feeling feverish all of a sudden.The physician, Jericho, wasn't new to this but this was the worst he'd seen the Alpha.Sagyu was beginning to burn him badly."Why didn't you call me right away when you noticed the damage Sagyu was causing?" He reprimanded Hendrix as quietly as he could in a bid to avoid waking the sleeping alpha."I thought of it, but just couldn't leave his side," Hendrix replied in remorse."Indeed," Jericho replied, eyeing him in disbelief.Jericho felt terrible for the young Alpha. No man should be made to suffer so much for a sin they knew nothing about.He had consulted the moon goddess through the seer for a very long time but she had claimed not to see anything.Alex groaned in sleep, shifting tired in his bed.His skin was badly burnt

    Early the next morning, they got up and prepared for their trip.Lisa felt really anxious and it was understandable.Lisa had tried severally to communicate with her boy, but he had blocked them out completely and neither her nor Adam could mind link him. It was frustrating for the both of them and she was sure she deserved it.She had no idea how she was going to make things right with Alex. She only hoped things would get better with time."Are you ready?" Adam asked Lisa as she stood by the door, staring into space, lost in a void her mind had created. She rubbed her clammy palms on her thighs which was under a simple black gown which she looked elegant in. "Yes, I'm all set," she replied, walking briskly to their awaiting carriage.Adam had informed Hendrix of their arrival and told him not to disclose the information to Alex because he feared he'd get uncomfortable and disappointed.Adam knew pretty well that his son felt more at peace with them gone and he understood him.

He walked in slowly and greeted his Alpha.Alex raised a questioning brow at him, silently ordering him to speak.As Hendrix stood there in his usual black suit and a white inner, Alex finally took him in.

    As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the tranquil garden, Alex and Mia found themselves seated on a rustic wooden bench, their fingers intertwined. It was a moment of quietude, a sanctuary of their own amidst the chaos of their lives. The fragrant aroma of blooming flowers and the soothing melody of birdsong filled the air, creating a backdrop that seemed tailor-made for a profound conversation.Mia gazed at Alex with a mix of anticipation and vulnerability. She had spent countless nights rehearsing the words she would utter, trying to capture the essence of her emotions. Now, with her heart pounding in her chest, she took a deep breath and mustered the courage to speak her truth, but before she could say anything, Alex took the lead."Mia," he began, his voice barely above a whisper. "I've been reflecting on our journey together, on the pact that once bound us and the love that has blossomed between us. I've come to realize that our marriage shouldn't

    The next morning, the sun's warm rays filtered through the curtains of Alex's bedroom, gently coaxing him awake. As he slowly emerged from his slumber, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation tingling in the air. He turned and gave the still-sleeping Mia a peck on the head and a soft kiss on her lips.As he rose from his bed and began his morning routine, Alex couldn't shake off the thought of his mother's message. "She sent for me," he murmured to himself. Alex's mother had sent for him, a simple message delivered by a nurse who had become a familiar face during his past visits when Heartman was there.A mix of curiosity and trepidation brewed within him. Although he had never been close to his mother, the fact that she had reached out to him felt significant.With a mix of apprehension and hope, Alex made his way down the hallway towards his mother's room. As he neared the door, he paused, taking a deep breath to steady himself. He wasn't sure what to expect or how this en

    Alex's heart pounded as he carried Mia's unconscious body through the dense forest, making his way back to the Crystal Moon pack.

Every step he took, every breath he drew, was filled with determination to bring her back safely.Finally, the familiar sight of the pack's territory emerged from the trees. He sprinted towards the Alpha's den, his muscles burning with exertion, but his resolve unyielding. Bursting through the entrance, he was immediately met with concerned and relieved faces.The pack's healer and nurses rushed forward to tend to their Alpha as she took in Mia's motionless form. "What happened?" she asked urgently.Alex's voice cracked with emotion. "The most important thing I want now is for her to be taken to my room; you have to help and treat her there."The pack healer motioned for the others to clear a space, and together they gently laid Mia on a nearby bed. The healer's hands move

    Mia, Heartman, and the sorcerer left Natalie behind at the sorcerer's place because she was already injured during the clash.Mia and Heartman ran towards the building where the final sacrifice would be made, and the sorcerer stayed behind to distract Alex while they destroyed the altar and exorcised the demon.Standing before the main room where the altar was set up, Mia and Heartman felt their hearts pounding with a mixture of anticipation and fear. They had finally located the place where the demon intended to fully possess Alex, and they knew they had to act quickly to prevent Alex's servants from catching up with them.Heartman's hands trembled slightly as he clutched the ancient book of exorcism chants, its pages worn and fragile with age. Mia stood close to him, holding the little dagger the sorcerer had given her.With a deep breath, Mia took the lead, stepping cautiously into the room. The low lighting and flickering candles cast eerie shadows on the cold stone walls. The atm

    Outside the sorcerer's abode, Mia and Alex's parents chatted as they made their way home."Heartman, I told you the place looks familiar; now you believe me, right? I can't miss it; I know the place so well, and it still hasn't changed a bit all those years," Natalie said."I believe you now, Luna Natalie," Heartman said, laughing. He went ahead and teased her."Why would you want a sorcerer to change his place? It's not a rented apartment or a palace," Heartman said, laughing out loud. Mia couldn't help but join in the laugh."Heartman darling, are you mocking me?" Natalie did a baby face, trying to win Heartman.Heartman looked at her and refused to fall for her trick. Mia just looked at both of them, happy that they weren't crying or blaming themselves for how Alex turned out to be.She misses her mom too much; it hurts really bad. Her mom would have known exactly what to do right in this situation. She missed all the time she ran away from home to play with friends. If she had kno

They believed that understanding the demon's origins and weaknesses would be the key to success. With a glimmer of hope in their hearts, they embarked on a journey that would take them to the sorcerer's place and grant them access to long-forgotten texts, helping them understand what they needed to do to help Alex.Early in the morning, they left the pack with Mia, who assured them of the sorcerer's place that her mom took her to before she was killed. They ventured deep into the enchanted forest, with Heartman and Natalie feeling a sense of familiarity."Heartman, isn't this the place we came back then when we were looking for answers about Alex?" Natalie asked, looking around."Natalie, I can't say because all forests look the same, though I know this place looks and feels familiar," Heartman replied."Let's just go; when we get there, we'll know if

    The dark cloud that had loomed over Alex's soul grew denser, and with each passing day, the demon lurking inside him gained strength. Its malevolent presence seeped into his thoughts, tainting his actions with a sinister allure. Alex had fought against it, but now, it seemed as if the demon's grip on his very essence was tightening, suffocating him.He noticed Alex was starting to know more about things, meaning he already knew about the trick he was playing with his mind.

    Heartman walked out of the cell and out of the dungeon. He headed towards the room where Mia and Nathalie were receiving treatment in the pack house."Nathalie, there's something you need to know," Heartman began, and Mia was about to stand up and leave them to talk when Heartman stopped her."You need to hear this, Mia. It's about your husband, Alex. He isn't dead; he has been possessed by a demon," Heartman paused, observing Mia's response before continuing."He's in the forest, going through the sacrifice to awaken the demon within him," Heartman concluded.Nathalie started crying as she heard what Heartman said. "Isn't there a solution to stop it, Heartman? We can't allow the demon to be awake; it'll destroy innocent lives," Nathalie complained."We'll have to look for the person that possesses the Mundara powers, and searching for that now isn't something that can be done in a few minutes," Heartman said sadly."I already know about the demon within Alex, and I'm the one you seek
