Elora's POVI gasped after hearing those words from her mouth. Was she able to know what I came to ask her? Or has Devlin been here before to talk about my wolf? Multiple questions popped into my head as I pondered in my thoughts until I felt Olivia’s face hovering around mine.“Who’s she calling healer wolf?” She asked, but before I could respond, the pack seer turned to face us. She appeared to be an old woman in her late fifties but had a good figure and her face was free from wrinkles. There were paintings of a kind of ruin on her face while her eyes were pure white. At first, I shivered at the sight of this, but I had to calm myself down. “What do you want to ask?” She said looking at me while grabbing a chair at the opposite side to sit.Staring back at her, I didn’t even know how I would start the question. My lips suddenly turned numb while my head turned blank instantly.“She wants to ask why her wolf hasn’t woken yet,” Olivia replied quickly, and all I did was nod in suppo
Devlin POV“I should have known that Ario is such a prick! He looked sympathetic one moment and the next, he had the guts to send us off.” Daniel snorted as he hit the wheel driving us back to the pack.I was also shocked by this. I never thought he would turn us down after I mentioned Elora. That wasn’t even as shocking as what he said next. If something was to happen to her, he would wage a war against me. His audacity was quite tempting.I smirked. It seemed I would be on my own on this one. Who could have thought all Alphas would turn their back on me at the time of need?“It seems I need to go berserk in this war,” I said with a glint in my eyes, and everyone started shivering. They had witnessed such a scene before and knew how scary it had always been.My past had nurtured me into something I would rather not be. Though I might look calm on the surface, I knew what was going on in my mind.“What? That’s the only way to win this war.” I said, turning to look at each of them.“Yo
Devlin POVLooking towards the door, I saw Daniel paving the way and Sarah walked in looking furious. I didn’t need to ask before knowing she was also suspicious of Danica. We all were since we knew what she could do.“What do you mean by that nonsense? Why isn’t anybody saying anything about how bruised up I am?” Danica yelled, looking frustrated.“Because you brought it upon yourself. Elora was in her room when you attacked her!” Sarah snapped back.Hearing this, my fingers clenched as I turned towards Danica. I couldn’t hold myself anymore, I grabbed her in a chokehold and slammed her harshly on the wall.Her eyes widened as she trembled in my hands, but I didn’t spare her. I was ready to choke the answers out of her mouth if she wasn’t willing to let it out.“Tell me where she is or else I will kill you right here and now!” I warned, staring daggers at her.“I…” She tapped my hand quickly as I was choking her too tightly. Only then did I lessen my grip as I thought she wanted to g
Devlin POV“Examine her body quickly. Make sure you do everything in your power to wake her up. She can’t be dead! She isn’t dead! She can’t be.” I said to the physician after gently placing Elora on the bed.My heart was still slamming so fast as I was pacing back and forth the room chewing on my finger in both anger and frustration. I couldn’t afford to lose her. Not now, not ever.We had finally sorted things out and she had accepted me. How the hell was she supposed to die now? No! If she dies, then I would have to burn the world down. There was no way I would let this slide, the culprit must be punished to death by me.“Alpha, I’m sorry, but the poison has circulated her system. Though I’ve administered some drugs to her, it’s only a miracle if she wakes up.” The physician replied while my face turned as pale as a sheet.Bang!“What’s going on?” Both Sarah and Olivia barged into the room. They quickly rushed to check on Elora and after seeing she wasn’t waking up they started shi
Elora's POVThere was darkness all over the place. I couldn’t see anything, even my body. I tried moving my body but nothing was working. Was this the effect of the poison, and I was dead already? I thought to myself.But then on second thought if I was dead, should I be capable of thinking? Just then a light flickered, and I found myself standing in an unknown land.There were bodies of wolves all over the place. Blood was everywhere, and also I could hear the excruciating pain of wolves. Some fought to save themselves, while some ran away.My eyes widened seeing the scene before me. It was such a bloodbath that I couldn’t even withstand it. I was cringed by it. Just then I saw a kid beheaded right in front of me.Blood splashed around even on my face. I quickly meshed my eyes close, but the sight was still playing in my head over and over again making a knot tie in my chest. I felt this heavy force that stripped my body of its strength, and I was about to fall to the floor when I h
Elora's POV“That’s the pack physician, the one who was taking care of you all along,” Olivia said, reading my mind through my gaze. I nodded but then what he said kept ringing in my ear.“Hanged? Who is being hanged?” I asked instead and watched him walk in.“The pack seer. She’s been taken to the execution center and will be hanged.” He replied, frowning.My eyes widened since I knew I was the reason she would be hanged. After all, she was the one who fed me that portion, and it resulted in the situation I was in.“Suit her right. She deserved it for poisoning you.” Olivia sneered.I looked at her and then back at my hands using it as a stimulant for my thoughts. There was something amiss in all this. I had a feeling that she wasn’t the one who poisoned me. Maybe she was the one who gave me the potion, but she didn’t look like someone who had a grudge against me or who would want to hurt me.Without relenting too much to my thoughts, I pushed the bedsheet away standing up. Everyone
Elora’s POV While running, I kept praying to the moon goddess to keep both Sarah and Olivia safe. With how vicious Rose and Rebecca were, I knew they wouldn’t hesitate to go for the kill and if such were to happen, then I would end up losing two of the most important people in my life. Lucky for me, I was able to reach the pack gathering. Getting through wasn’t easy for me as everyone was busy trying to see what was going on in the middle. They didn’t even realize if I was the one, or bothered to even check. That aside, I force my way to the middle, and right there on the stage, I saw the pack seer standing in the middle with a chain on her neck. Her body was bruised up and both hands were swollen. She couldn’t even open her eyes that well due to the beating she had received. Then, a warrior walked towards her with a rope and was about to put it on her neck when I shouted. “Stop! She’s innocent.” I yelled, attracting every eye upon me. That was when they noticed my presence. “Elo
Elora's POV I didn’t know what he meant until I caught a glimpse of my body. I was glowing, so bright like the moon, and it almost blinded everyone’s eyes. However, I realized it was the sudden brightness that forced their eyes close, including Devlin. But apart from him, the pack seer's eyes were open wide staring at me. Then I felt a surge of power following from my body down to hers. It happened uncontrollably, and before I knew it all the bruises on her skin began to heal up. Her swollen eyes returned to how they were. Even her body which looked like it had lost its color due to how badly she was tortured was now back to normal. “You can heal others already?” She said in awe looking at her body but as soon as she looked back at me, her mouth fell open. “Stop, it’s affecting you too.” She said but it was too late. I was still holding her and on the last bit, I felt my body suddenly weak and slumped to the floor. “Elora?” She yelled in fright, reaching out to me, but my mouth
Delvin's POVIt was a few hours now that I had killed mother for being deceitful and wicked. While I sat across the bench, different thoughts invaded my mind and I started reasoning all she had said to me. If she could be this wicked, then she certainly must have lied about everything else she advised me against. I rushed at the doctor and as I got into his room, he shook terribly and tried to run away from the room but I slammed the door shut and held a knife to his throat. He sighed carefully, trying to ask what he did wrong but I rather asked him. "What didn't you do wrong you fool?!" I questioned him, ensuring the knife gets closer to his neck so he would confess on time. "I...I truly..." He said and then kept quiet. I kicked him on the legs and he fell to the ground. Without hesitation, I stabbed him in the legs and he groaned painfully. "I would do that again if you don't tell me the fucking truth now!!" I screamed at him. It seemed like he had been informed that my mother h
Delvin's POVIt was as though someone was manipulating her to speak up her mind. It was as though her cunning abilities and whatever magic she was using, had failed her. I chuckled as she came close but I made Elora stay behind me, so nothing bad would happen to her. Judging from her dark expressions, I was already getting scared of her but I patiently waited for all she would say. "So i came to your pack to get this healer wolf but I couldn't! That's why I came to your pack!!" She laughed at me like though she had successfully fooled me. Elora was quietly speaking behind for me to be quiet and not say anything yet no matter how I'm triggered to say it. "We wouldn't listen to her well now. Remember that you need to confirm from two sides about what's happening. Listen to her words and realize who you have brought into the pack. Didn't I tell you she was coming to cause chaos?" She said and at the end of her words, I silenced her, telling her we shouldn't assume anything. Deep down
Delvin's POVI stared around and counted the rogues. Elora stood right behind me as well as we watched the rogues. I tried to study their intention and luckily, I knew about it immediately. They were literally trying to take Elora away from me. While I haven't even verified that yet, one of them walked towards me to declare their intention and then they would leave. "Release Elora to us and let us go." He said to me. I wasn't particularly sure if he was speaking in English or perhaps his words were a bit muffled. Or his English accent wasn't clear enough. It wasn't coherent to the ears. "I should release Elora to you? That'll be the last thing that'll happen. Come take her and let me see!" I screamed at him, but he cautioned his men not to fight yet and then he turned towards me like though he was about to give me some last warning. "We can take both you and your pack down within a few seconds and everything will be ruined. Why not consider our request and save yourself?""I'm not
Delvin's POVI felt hurt after realizing that my suspicions towards my mom could be actually true. She could have threatened to kill Sarah indeed but for trying to sit on the fence and not revealing the total truth, I felt bad. She's like a mother figure to me and so she shouldn't be hiding anything from me. As long as someone has falsified the truth, it would be truly hard to believe the person again.I took a deep breath and sat on the bed and then Daniel stepped forwards and stood in front of me, trying to console me about all that happened. "I think you should be more calm at this moment. I really understand how you're feeling and about Sarah? I don't think you should have chased her out like that. She confessed the truth about being threatened and that's why she lied to you. Now that the mother isn't around, she could say the truth." Daniel said to me and I held my head with my two palms, trying to regain sanity. I was already feeling mad by all what was going on. "I think we h
Delvin's POVI saw everything that happened. I saw a knife in Elora's hands. She literally wanyed to stab my mother. Because she was only telling the truth, she was trying to kill her. How dare hee. I felt a wave of hurt and betrayal wash through me as I moved towards her. A single tear didn't drop from my eyes but deep down within me, I was shaking with tears. How would she do this? She has actually committed a lot of stuff for me to believe anything anyone said to her. Pulling her but her neck, Ioged her towards her room and flung her there. She wouldn't cause more havoc in the pack in my presence. If everything that had been happening was actually narrated to me, then I would doubt it as I didn't earlier think she could do this. She was about explaining how it all happened but I placed a finger on my lips and locked her up in the room. What was she trying to say? She was definitely trying to justify her actions when I caught her red handed. She had just tried to kill the mother
Elora's POVI was walking across the hallway, passing by some rooms to cool music head because of the many things that has troubled me recently, and then I heard someone moaning somewhere not far from where I stood. I traced the sound till I got to this particular room, more like a guest room. Not everyone can go in there. It has to be Delvin or someone who is in some high rank in the pack. I checked through the windows that weren't properly closed as I saw how Delvin was spanking denica and she was moaning delightfully.I waited there for up to half an hour to confirm what I was seeing. They changed positions, and I was able to see their faces clearly. It was as though delvin had sighted me, I had no other thought than to go visit Olivia again. She was the best and literally the only person that was going to listen to me at this point. I took a deep breath and ran towards her place, trying not to reveal my emotions through my face. As I got in there, she pulled me into a firm hug
Delvin's POVI began to feel bad and awful that I had kept my mother hanging all this while. She had purposely told me that Elora was barren but I didn't believe it. It was next to test Danica, but I'm not more certain than probable that she might be pregnant for me. I started to reason with her now, as I felt a move to go apologize to her for retorting boldly like though I knew more than she did. "Since Danica was going to give me a child, shouldn't I start caring for her instead?" I asked myself as I stood inside my room and then the memories of all the times I was caring for Elora and even saved her from the hands of Kace, retuned to my head and I took a deep sigh. I should have been doing this for Elora ever since. And then my mother walked in. I knew she wasn't specifically angry at me since she knew I was a leader and I should have my point as well. I knew she would be glad as well that I took her suggestions seriously and carried out the test. She stared at me as I was moody
Elora's POVMy heart was thumping fast as I narrowed my gaze at the doctor, pleading with him to check it again. "Please run the tests again. This can't be so!! Please!" I screamed at him, tears pricking around the corners of my eyes. I understood the implication of being barren and especially when you wouldn't tell the man you're mated to, about it.."Do you mean my machine is full of error? Hey woman, my machine didn't lie. You're barren. What that means is you can't bear any children till your last breath." He said, explaining the nitty-gritty of the concept. I heaved a deep sigh and tried to get up to grab his legs and beg him to do so, not minding if he would request extra payment for his service. "Mr. Doctor, you can be on your way. Running the tests again isn't going to change anything. Please be on your way. It's not necessary. She's barren and I'm glad we both know that now. Hanging in the air ain't no joke." Delvin said and the doctor bowed his head, before he walked out o
Elora's POVI eventually decided to visit Olivia as I didn't have another place to go. She was my only friend in the pack and I trusted my secrets with her. She would listen to me and advise me like a mother. "She doesn't like me. I am telling you. If I'm sugarcoating my words, may the moon goddess strike me. She doesn't like me one bit." I complained bitterly to her, but she was only sighing, patiently waiting for me to complete my words before she would advise me based on what I've said."I didn't even know how she came to the pack. It was just an afternoon when Delvin was busy with me. He came to summon me to come meet his mother and I never insulted her until she raised her voice at me, calling me names. What exactly did I wrong? I can't point to anything bad I've done. Should I narrate everything that happened and then you judge who is right and who is wrong?" I said to her, laying myself in bed as I was even too tired to sit up in bed and tell h e about everything."I understan
