Royal's POV"But the witches have been eradicated ever since the battle with that bloodthirsty Alpha. The Alpha Chase of the Crescent Moon Pack! Could they have survived?" Another asked, mirroring my thoughts.Rico shot me a grave look. "Looks like it's not all of them that died. Some might have survived, or there could be new ones hiding among us. We can't rule anything out at this point. We all need to be vigilant!"I nodded, realizing the severity of the situation. If witches were indeed involved, it meant dealing with a force beyond our understanding. It was a threat to me and others alike.The story of the war with Chase flooded my mind. It was known to be brutal, and the losses were immeasurable. The thought of facing witches again made me happy and scared. Happy to see my kind and scared for what they were doing as it seemed like revenge for almost eradicating us. The same revenge, Lillian wanted."We need to gather more information about these witches," Someone interrupted me
Royal's POVThe phone calls continued throughout the night as we tried to reach out to various packs and rogue communities. Rico, with a determined look in his eyes, made some of the calls himself, speaking with leaders and members alike. Each conversation was filled with tension and apprehension, as we probed for any information that might lead us to the culprit behind the mysterious dumping of bodies.In one call, Alpha Rico spoke to Alpha Lydia of the neighboring Moonshadow Pack. "Lydia, we need your help. We've found evidence that someone, possibly rogues, has been dumping sick bodies at our borders. Have you experienced anything similar?"Lydia's voice held concern as she replied, "No, Rico, we haven't encountered such a situation. But if there's anything we can do to assist you, count us in."In another call to a nearby rogue community, Alpha Rico's stern tone demanded answers. "This is Alpha Rico of the Silver Lining Pack. We've discovered a troubling situation, and we need to
Royal's POVThe pack member took a moment to catch their breath before replying, "It's Lady Emily's husband. It is the Beta, Alpha Rico. He's showing the same symptoms as the others."My heart sank at the news, and I exchanged a worried glance with Alpha Rico. "We need to act fast," he said firmly. "Gather the medical team and isolate the infected immediately. We can't risk this spreading further."I nodded, immediately relaying the orders to the pack house staff and the medical team. The situation had become even more dire, and the urgency to find a cure intensified.Alpha Rico looked at me with concern in his eyes. "Royal, we must be thorough in our investigation. I'm afraid we have to test the Beta and his family for the infection too. It's crucial to identify the source and contain the spread."I understood the gravity of the situation, but it was a difficult task. The Beta and his family were like family to us, and having to potentially deliver such devastating news weighed heavi
Royal's POV"Royal?" he called out again and I looked at him.I raised an eyebrow, surprised by Alpha Chase's request. "But why would he want the healer to come there in person? Did he say why? It's risky, and we don't know what kind of illness they're dealing with."Alpha Rico nodded in agreement. "I share your concerns, Royal. It's indeed risky, and we must prioritize the safety of our pack. However, Alpha Chase sounded desperate, and he assured me that they have taken necessary precautions to ensure the healer's safety. It's the same illness we are facing here, Royal. The moon goddess has blessed you with the ability to help others. Don't do this because of your feud with Chase.""I don't trust him, Rico," I said firmly, crossing my arms. "He might have other motives for wanting us there. We should focus on our pack and continue to help those in need here. If he needs help, he should come here instead.Alpha Rico leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. "I understand your apprehe
Royal's POV"Yes," came my short and unsure answer and he nodded.The pack members around us cheered and waved as the convoy started moving, making its way through the dense forest. Along the journey, I kept Aiden entertained with stories and songs, ensuring he felt comfortable and safe despite the unfamiliar surroundings.As the hours passed, the landscape gradually changed, and the tall trees of our territory gave way to a more open expanse. I took my cloak and wore it, covering my face to avoid being recognized when we arrived.Soon, we entered Alpha Chase's territory, and the convoy's pace slowed as we approached the heart of the pack.Upon reaching the pack's main settlement, the driver parked the truck and I took a deep breath preparing myself for what was to come.I stepped out of the truck with Aiden in my arms, and I couldn't help but feel proud of how far we had come. The last time we were both in this lack was a few years ago when I was pregnant and now, he's in my arms, lo
Royal's POVThe imposing figure stepped forward, his posture exuding authority and grace. "I am Alpha Ken, sent by your brother, Alpha Rico," he replied a tinge of urgency in his voice. "We are in dire need of your assistance."Relief washed over me upon hearing my brother's name. "Alpha Rico sent you?" I questioned, my guard slightly easing. "What seems to be the matter?"Alpha Ken's face tightened with concern. "My pack and I have fallen ill with a mysterious sickness. We've tried all we can, but we can't seem to find a cure. It's spreading rapidly, and we fear it might endanger not only our pack but also neighboring territories.""I'm so sorry to hear that," I said, genuine sympathy in my voice. "Of course, we will help. But we must take precautions to ensure the safety of my pack and my family, especially my son."Alpha Ken nodded understandingly. "I completely understand. We will take every measure to prevent any potential harm. Our primary concern is to receive the treatment we
Third person povThose words struck Royal like a thunderbolt. She didn't prepared herself for the possibility that Alpha Chase might not remember himself or their past together. Her heart sank, but she pushed her emotions aside and put on a reassuring smile."That's okay," she said softly, trying to keep her voice steady. "You've been through a lot. It's normal to feel disoriented. Just focus on resting and recovering."Alpha Chase nodded weakly, seemingly accepting her words without further question. He struggled to sit up, and Royal quickly moved to assist him.Since he was the only one who needed treatment, Royal decided to stay back and watch him.Although Rico and Devi were not happy with the decision to stay with Chase after everything, they understood what she wanted.As the first rays of the morning sun cascaded through the windows, Royal stepped into the cozy living room of her humble abode to meet Chase. "Good morning, Chase," she greeted with a warm smile, setting a tray o
Royal's Pov Taking a deep breath, I knelt down to be at eye level with Aiden. Before I could answer, Alpha Chase blurted out, "Yes I am your father!"The words hung in the air, and for a moment, me and Aiden both stared at Alpha Chase in utter surprise. The crackling of the fire seemed to echo the shock that just enveloped us."Chase," I said softly, her voice a mix of disbelief and confusion.Chase winked at me then turned to Aiden with eyes filled with determination, "I know I should have told you both sooner, but I wanted to make sure it was the right time. Aiden, you are my son, and I've always been watching over you from afar."Aiden's eyes widened, a whirlwind of emotions washing over him. "You're my father? But... why didn't you tell me before?"Chase knelt down next to me and placed a hand on Aiden's shoulder. "I wanted to keep you and your mother safe. There were dangerous forces that threatened us, and I thought it was best to stay away until we could ensure your safety."
