Chapter 50The moon was high in the sky, and Eleanor was asleep, her position like a fetus in the mother's womb.She turned several times and murmured. It was cold but Eleanor had successfully yanked the blanket away from her body. She felt heat all of a sudden and the perspiration that trickled down her forehead was clear evidence of it."You can as well die," she murmured the more, her face squeezed in total concentration. She turned again, this time, pushing off the pillow and curving even more in.She spoke over and over like a pup having a nightmare. She cursed severally as if it was normal.Suddenly, there was a slight movement of her hand and the shaking of her head. But all of a sudden, it stopped and Eleanor rose. Her eyes were bright and red and her hair was scattered over her face.Her gaze searched around the room quickly like someone looking for its prey. A smile curved up on her face as she got up from the bed and walked out of the room.She stood at the door and mumbled
Chapter 51The night has gotten deeper and it was the night that Jay has planned for the pack to visit Lan. He couldn't wait any longer. He had to be snappy if he wished to get back his daughter as soon as possible.Only the strongest wolves with huge strength were supposed to leave while the lowest of the werewolves would stay back. The omegas were told to keep the pack house free from Intruders.It would be very bad if they left the pack house empty and prone to attackers. That aside, there had to be wolves that would protect the young ones in the pack house.Jay sat on the chair in the semi-darkness and stared at nothingness. The thought of his daughter filled him in. He blamed himself for not believing in Oliver. If he had believed in his voice, he would have avoided the impending danger. It was all his fault. He just hoped that his daughter was saved because it was the only way he wouldn't regret it for the rest of his life."Don't worry, we will find her," his wolf encouraged an
The floor underneath Meera shook with such velocity that it actually looked as though it was the whole world that was shaking.Meera must have breached what she wasn't supposed to. Well, the gem was kept far away from reach. Its power must have been the one holding the whole place in check.She wondered how long people have tried to reach the gem all to no avail. And it was special for him. She would be able to acquire everything she has always wanted. She would rule the world at last! The thought of it brought a smile to her lips.But she also had to hurry before the whole place collapsed. Getting in was a huge challenge and getting out was another excruciating challenge.The wall where she sat began to tremble. The dark crystal fell off her hand and broke into pieces.Now that the crystal that is holding the entire entity together has broken, the entity is deemed to break or even disappear.There was another sudden shake that seemed like an earthquake, more walls tumbled into anothe
Jay couldn't believe his eyes, or maybe he was hallucinating. He closed his eyes and reopened them again to look at Scarlett again.Scarlett was also watching him with the same surprised look on Jay's face."Father," she repeated, which was when Lan heard clearly what she was saying. He looked over at Scarlett, then at Jay. He regarded him for a moment, then looked back at Scarlett again. "Your father?" He raised skeptical brows at her.Scarlett nodded slowly, her eyes still on Jay.Lan's ears stood immediately upright. His heart made a sudden thud in his chest as he looked back at Jay. No wonder Jay looked familiar to him. That aside, it felt as though he had seen him somewhere. It was at that moment, as Jay was coming towards him that he realized the same resemblance on their faces. Why couldn't he think of it earlier? Jay got nearer. "What are you doing here Scarlett?" Scarlett stared, unable to say a word. She didn't even know where to start. She knew something new was happenin
Oliver and Leia have been walking for a while towards the naive Alpha house. Oliver held Leia's hand suddenly, to pull her to a sudden stop.Leia looked up at him, skeptically. "Is something wrong?"Oliver regarded her for a moment. " Are you sure we are going through the right path? Are you sure we aren't lost?"Leia shook her head. " No, why will you say that?"Oliver sighed. " We've been walking for a while now. It's very dark at the night at this moment and we are still not at the naive Alpha house. What's happening?"" The place is very far but we will soon be there," she assured.Oliver sighed. " Are you not feeling thirsty? We've been walking for a while now," he informed.Leia shivered at the contact of their body, the heat rushed out from Oliver's body, and into her. They could feel the tinge, the vibration, and the usual wants."Yes," Leia stammered. "I will like some water if that's fine with you."Oliver smiled and released her to take bottled water from his back. "Come,
Lan had gotten some bush meat and was making a barbecue from it.Scarlett wanted to invite Jay inside but she realized she would have to invite the elders as well. And there was not enough space for everyone in the house. That aside, it would be so filled up with not enough space to move around.So, instead, she decided to get the elders together at the back of the chamber. The best choice was outside.The other werewolves were in front of the chamber while Scarlett escorted the elders with Jay to the back of the house. Most of the wolves had shifted back to their human forms since they got an inkling that their Alpha might take some time with his daughter. And since they didn't need to fight, they all relaxed.She got some chairs for them to sit on. Jay helped to make a fire in the midst of them as Lan was busy preparing the bush meat.It was very late in the night now and they could hear the owls somewhere around them.Jay meddled with the fire and looked up at Scarlett. "I would ne
"Strange, very," Skyler muttered as she continued to follow Eleanor towards the dark but narrowed path.She was tired, but Eleanor doesn't look anything like it. And she found that even weird. They've been walking for hours now and they've conquered far more than she could imagine.If Skyler hadn't left her wristwatch at home, she would have been able to guess what the time was. But she doesn't need anyone to tell her how long she had been walking.A fog came out of nowhere and soon filled the whole place.Skyler started feeling out of the place and a strange feeling almost knocked her off. Where were they off to? The whole place looked eerily silent or maybe it was just Skyler's sixth sense knocking around.Eleanor was still moving. She didn't even stop for a second whereas Skyler had to stop for a few minutes because her legs were hurting her already.She had the urge to call her or force her to a stop but she desperately wanted to see where she was going. She was very tired but Ele
Skyler was gradually getting weak. She struggled to walk now and it felt like she would collapse any moment from that time.Every step she took was by force and in fact, it felt as though she was walking on knives. The funniest thing here is that Eleanor doesn't look tired or so she thought because if she was tired, then she would have stopped walking. Skyler wanted nothing more than to stop walking.She felt thirsty as well and cold. She left in so much hurry that she didn't make proper packing. She missed the cardigan and water. Well, she didn't know that Eleanor was taking her on such a long trip. The whole thing felt like forever.The sun was gradually rising and Skyler knew they had been walking overnight. They were still in the woods and it looked like they were almost at the end of the world.Everywhere was getting more clear with every step that they took. She could see Eleanor very well now, and her dirty night robe and the blood that dot on it. Though, she was positive that
Chapter 92Meera could not believe what was happening in front of her. She had been watching the little play that she found amusing, she had to give it to them that the wolves indeed had a flair for the dramatic. The way they were all standing and looking like they had just received the biggest shock of their lives amused her to no end. It was almost as if they still thought they would be able to save her and even if they thought they did, it was just something that made her laugh even more. Scarlett had been destined for death the moment she had been captured by Meera and she had been smiling just a few minutes ago at the amount of pain that she was causing the wolves to feel.Then the Oliver boy had done something, she felt the thrum of magic from him and her heart lurched as she realized that she had made a very big mistake. She thought Scarlett was one of a kind, the only wolf with a special ability and even though she had been seeing Oliver around he even tried to attack her beca
The head of hades saw that they were indeed taking their time to consider what their options might be. He was here, waiting, while they discussed if he was trustworthy or not. He felt he had made the right choice by changing his appearance, if he had appeared to them as his normal self then they would have never even looked at him twice talking less of considering what he was proposing. He got the feeling that they were also the recipients of one of Meera's bad actions, from what he heard she had kidnapped the daughter of these wolves and that was something that he did not understand. Why would Meera be interested in the daughter of some wolves, it must mean that there was something else that he was not seeing here. There must be something about the girl that Meera felt interesting, and to be sincere, he only knew one thing that would make Meera even stress herself to abduct the daughter of two alpha wolves.There was something different about these wolves though, the boy that was st
Scarlett woke up to find Meera staring at her. Eleanor was not in the room and she didn't even realize that she had been so tired. The ordeal she has passed through these past few days made her feel like she was made of concrete and everywhere ached in her. She wasn't even sure what was what anymore, her leg felt numb, and the fact that she didn't sense Meera's presence when she came back in meant that she was also tired mentally too. She felt even more exhausted after the small chat she had with Oliver and the fact that she slept on the floor wasn't helping either, and now she had to deal with Meera looking at her like she was some unsatisfactory product.Meera already knew what she was there for. She had come to pacify Eleanor a bit and the little witch had asked for some permission to go out. She wanted to go to a mall. Meera sent her out with two guards, she was the ruler of the court of hades now so she had them at her beck and call, and she hoped that Eleanor would take an inter
Scarlett had just heard something that she considered unbelievable. She was sure that something was off because Meera just called herself someone's grandmother. She had actually been thinking that Meera was Eleanor's mother, all the acts of love and the fact that Meera looked so young, too young to be anyone's grandmother if she was being sincere, she could see that something might have happened at the court they went to. Eleanor seemed impatient for the power that she was promised to her and Meera also looked like she had a major headache and she didn't have the time to tolerate whatever insolence Eleanor might want to display.She also made a very shocking revelation right now, she was a grandmother but yet she looked like someone in her early thirties, a very young face and aura emanated off her and Scarlett could tell that wasn't normal. It was something to make yourself look young but Scarlett doubted that was what Meera was doing.She must have stolen someone's body. Meera was a
At the moment some issues were transpiring in the pack house. Jay and Skyler seemed to have gotten into a big fight and they were busy arguing with one another.Jay kept on insisting that Skyler return to the city to oversee the affairs of the huge pack house and businesses they had there. It would be unreasonable for the both of them to abandon the affairs of the pack for so long, but Skyler was adamant. She swore never to return until she saw her daughter again. She could not even believe that Jay was asking her to abandon the whole matter and go back to the city. She knew that what Jay was saying would be the right thing to do, the pack was as much as a family would ever be to them. They were the leaders of the pack and they needed to be there for the pack but she was not going to abandon her family again.While they were in the midst of their arguments, Oliver ran to them panting. He had left the room for some fresh breath earlier and now this."What is the matter?" both Jay and S
The rest of the pack including Ian finally arrived at the pack house, the heavy atmosphere that they carried along with them was evident in the way they all sat with their head bowed and lost in thought.Oliver could not believe what had just happened, he felt guilty for thinking that Meera wasn't a threat and that Scarlett would be safe no matter what happened, to him, all that was going on wasn't just fair. First Scarlet got tortured in front of them and she gets taken to heaven knows where after that. He felt they should have attacked Meera all at a go the minute that she dared to work her foul magic on Scarlett and that was something that he resented not doing.Leia sensing his anger tried to touch him so he could calm down but he yanked his hand away and went to a corner of the room and he started pacing."Are you really going to act like this?" Leia asked, looking at him and for the first time, she saw anger in Oliver's eyes. It was not like she hadn't seen him angry before, jus
Chapter 85Eleanor could feel the anger in Meera's voice as she told her of their history. So she was a wolf, after all, just an omega that the alphas always looked down upon.Eleanor could see why Meera seemed to always get angry when it comes to anything that has to do with the alphas. Even when she was talking to Scarlett earlier, there was a tone of hate in her voice and now she could see exactly why Meera was always so bitter. She was smiling now though and Eleanor could tell that this story was going to reveal what had brought them here as witches.Meera was already getting lost in the tale that she was telling and there seemed to be a rapturous look on her face."Whenever the alphas tried to push us down, we would leave, and then we would start somewhere else. Your ancestors were very ambitious people, they wanted to become greater than they were, they wanted to stop being seen as weak, and they wanted power too but then the alphas never allowed that, they always did what they
Chapter 84The elder could feel a bit of his power return as he came in contact with the crystal. It was only a fragment of the power though and he could already see that someone had been there. The place looked so lonely and deserted, a wall had already crumbled and the room was badly exposed to the harsh elements of this realm, he could also see that someone had definitely gotten to the crystal and it was just a matter of time before that person would be revealed. The crystal was an object of immense power and while it could not be handled by just anybody, there was certainly someone who knew about it and who dared to come to take it, they even braved the journey to do this act and thereby put the world off balance.The elder weighed his options and he wondered who this mystery person might be. He was just about to leave when he turned and saw a mirror, lying discarded on the ground and almost as pale and as broken as the other things. Because of the magic of the crystal, there was
Meera could see Scarlett looking at Eleanor and she felt anger rise in her. Eleanor would soon become a powerful witch, she was already a very powerful witch and so there was some sort of respect that should be accorded to her. Scarlett was now a prisoner and even though she was an alpha, she was still a prisoner. Meera saw the look on Scarlett's face and mistook it for the pride that the alpha wolves usually carried around. She should be scared and cowering before them, not just sitting and looking at Eleanor blankly in the face.Eleanor noticed that something like anger had overcome Meera's features, she could see that she was very angry and it was no doubt because of the insolence that Scarlett was displaying by looking at her straight in the eyes, she also felt some sort of pride already at the fact that Meera was basically treating her like a queen. There was something about the way Scarlett was looking at her that unnerved her and she wanted to scream at that look. This was th
