It was one of the strangest moments of my life. Leah's revelation completely took me unawares. Was she mistaken or just saying things accordingly?"He raped you? How did you escape then?" I asked with a surprised look on my face."I could have been killed if I was taken to the open, like the other Witches. He locked me up after raping me to cover his mess. He knew he will be in trouble if the Revolutionists found out he made love with a witch, an act which they considered disgusting. He made sure I was never seen. Not only did he lock me up but, he also tied my mouth, hands and feet, there was no way I could escape. I would have taken him to hell with me if, we were caught. I could have told the Revolutionists what he had done and he will be put to the dead alongside myself.""Don't be ridiculous, that devil will do everything possible in his power to silence you. He could have killed you. Moreover, do you think the Revolutionists will believe every word you say against him? They will
It was becoming clear to me that Derek may not be who I have always thought him to be. Perhaps, he might have faked his fight with the Revolutionists that night I was rescued. Just then, Derek began coming to our where we sat. At first, I thought he was the only one until I saw alpha Ammon walking behind him. Eric was the last person to appear. Soon, they were all gathered at where we sat. The looks on their faces can not be guessed or explained by me at that moment.While I remained silent when they arrived, Leah did not. She reacted immediately. "You bastard! I swear on my last breath that I will never stop hunting you until I get justice!" Leah reacted angrily, she made a hasty effort to spring to her feet but, couldn't do it. She was too weak to do that. She slumped back to the mattress while maintaining a threatening finger at the wolves. The little drama left the wolves all laughing. "Oh, we can see how you can do that Witch!" Said Derek."How the hell on earth will you get t
The alpha appears to be confused for a moment by Leah's confession. Maybe he wasn't expecting it or Leah might be talking nonsense. I knew he will surely be asked for clarification with regards to her statement."What do you mean by your statement?" Startled, the alpha asked and stepped closer to where Leah and I sat. Leah was able to sit up properly as the alpha approached. She looked straight into Ammon's eyes, "Did I mince my words? The answer is no! So, you heard me right. He was part of the Revolutionists that hunted and killed us all. Worst of all he raped me! Is that what wolves are known for?" Leah's tone was bold which I considered important. That will show the alpha she was not making things up.Close to us, the alpha began, "Are you accusing my Wolf-brother of being part of Revolutionists?""Do I sound like I was lying?" she retorted.Meanwhile, Derek had already murdered Leah, in his heart. The look on his face wall still evil making the accusations against him likely to
Derek became speechless. All eyes were on him. However, he must choose to tell us the truth or let the argument drag on. But there was only one problem, the alpha was becoming impatient and couldn't wait to hear what Derek had to say. "Why are you silent? I only asked a question and I expected you to answer. Now, let me ask you again, were you part of the mob called the Revolutionists, who attacked the Witches at Murdoch?""To be frank with you Ammon, I was," Derek confessed. He looked down as if he has committed an offense against the alpha. I found it weird that this, could be an issue between the alpha and Derek.His eyes went red with anger, "How do you do this? I don't believe you this is happening right now!"Expressing shock Eric asked, "what the hell is going on here? Did you join them for real?" He stepped closer and tapped Derek on his shoulders as he asked."I don't know why you all, are expressing surprises? Listen, I can explain.""Explain what Derek? What could you possi
The alpha never responded to my question instead, Eric did. "Derek is gone!"With a surprised look on my face, I asked, "why?" I looked at the alpha. His face was not too bright anymore. "Why did he leave sir?""Hell no! He is not going anywhere! Not without getting my revenge," Leah, got up on her feet and tried to leave but, the poison from the dart Derek shot at her, was still active in her veins. She walked slowly, and barely five meters before slipping off. She could have fallen with a devastating effect had it been Eric did not reach out to her as fast as he could."Hey, Leah what were you thinking? Do you intend to go after him? Don't be ridiculous Leah," I reached out and held her hands as Eric gradually let go of her right hand. "That son of a bitch wasn't supposed to go free after everything he did!" Leah's voice was rather too harsh. It was not her fault. She had the whole reason to act crazy after all she went through."No, need for that. We don't know where he has gone t
Leah fainted due to the poison from the dart at least, that was my initial assessment until alpha Ammon confirmed it. She was brought inside the cottage and made to lay on the bed in the alpha's room, where I had slept the previous night. We were all seated around Leah as if we were her family members. I have never felt free among the wolves before like, I did that afternoon. Derek was my problem but now, he is gone and the alpha has started showing me the soft part of him. Eric was not too cold at me too. Among the three wolves, I can say that he is the friendliest."What are we going to now? Is she going to die?" I was becoming worried because, Leah has been sleeping for three hours now, and there was no good sign she will wake up anytime sooner."She will be fine. The poison may take days before it can be cleared off her body system," replied the alpha. Derek who was standing close to me had a better idea. He was the only one standing in the room. I sat closer to Leah on the bed.
I smiled at her. "I see no big deal in your question, so I will have to answer you," I told her."The answer please?" She demanded."You passed out Leah. We have to take you in here and attend to you. Now, the herbal drink you just finished taking is an antidote to the poison. Remember the dart? It contained a poisonous substance and that's what had gotten you weak. But don't worry, the drink you have taken will fix the problem in no distant time," Eric adjusted the blanket that was covering her body."You heard the man," I added.The alpha leaned closer to her bedside and reached for her right hand. "I'm sorry Leah about the way we treated you. I hope you can find a place in your heart and forgive me," he pointed at Eric, "likewise Eric.""Yes Leah, we are sorry for all your loss and we will help you to take vengeance on Revolutionists, as you had requested. But now Leah, we need you to help us," said Eric."You are our only hope now. Without your help, our quest to find the magic bo
Ammon looked exhausted nevertheless, he had no choice but to explain to the inquisitive witch. I'm sure he knows it was the right thing to do. If he must get all the help he wants from Leah then, he must be willing to open up and cooperate with her."It all started when my half-wolf brother conspired against me with some wolves. I was defeated. I'm ashamed to admit defeat but that was what happened," he bent down as he speaks. "I was banned from our pack and sent into exile."Startled, Leah responded. "This doesn't make any sense. I'm still trying to figure out what you have narrated has got to do with the magic book you seek?""Yes, it may not be connected to the magic book from the little explanation I have made so far but trust me, it does. Maybe you should listen to the full story as it happened." "You may proceed," Leah gave her the order to continue. "Yes, Leah a witch named Magaritha, I'm sure you have heard that name before, Helped him to fight against me with her powerful m
