"When would she be awake?" That was the only question Ian had been asked for the past week and he understood their pain but there was nothing he could do to wake her. Her wound had healed and every part of her body was fine but she just had not woken up. This also threatened his medical license but since they were supernaturals, he knew it had something to do with being that. Once again, he pushed open the door of Joanna's ward which had become a place most of the pack members aside Alasdair and Micah loved to visit. Not that the two never visited her but they were practically living in her ward. Thankfully, it was large enough to contain the trio. Talking them out of leaving for a breath of fresh air was no use as none had left her side for fear of not being sure if she'd ever come back to them. Looking at the sight before him, Ian sighed for the nth time, his head aching. Lying on a white bed and clothed in a white hospital gown was Joanna. Her stomach seemed to have reduced more
Joanna's body began emitting a blue flamy light that spread across the room, touching every nook and corner aside the shadowed creature. Alasdair was currently in a deep slumber together with Micah. Apparently, before the shadowed creature had walked in, it casted a small sleep spell on them both, making them appear like they had lost sleep for years. Joanna's body rose in the air, up from the bed. The machine connected to the tube on Joanna's body began beeping loudly. The creature rigidly turned to stare at the heart monitor and a crack soon appeared on it before it stopped beeping. The ward was now as silent as a grave yard and it felt like nothing was going on in the outside world. The creature intently stared at Joanna's sleeping face, raising it fangs and pointed at her forehead before she landed on the bed on her back. Once this happened, like a thief at night, the shadow disappeared out of the ward, leaving the ward as it once was. "Ugh!" Micah's grunt of pain could be h
Her soft moans and cries of pain made them both jolt up from their seats. After Ian left and Joanna showed no signs of waking up, Micah and Alasdair both fell asleep in their respective seats since they were now sure about when Joanna would be awake.It was her soft cries of pain that both made them awake and Micah immediately bolted out of the ward, bumping into Ian who was also about to come in."She's awake?" Ian questioned but his question was more like a statement. Although, it might sound stupid to others who heard him but he became aware as soon as Joanna woke up. It seemed like there was this sort of connection between them that he couldn't pinpoint."Yeah, she's writhing in pain," Micah added as he hastily walked to the side of Joanna's bed."I can see that," Ian replied irritatedly. For some reason, he suddenly had the urge to lash out at anyone or anything. This feeling was definitely unusual and the fact that it went as fast as it came made it hard for Ian to notice anythi
It's been few hours since Joanna had been conscious and she was yet to have a minute of quietness in her ward. Ian had spread the news that she was awake and the first person who hastily rushed into her ward was none other than the lady she tried saving. Joanna had long noticed something was wrong with both Alasdair and Micah. They weren't acting like themselves and this wasn't because she had been unconscious. She could tell that something big was definitely bothering them but couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was. She became more uncomfortable the moment the lady whom she tried saving walked into her ward. She noticed the woman's face looked sullen and guilty which made her slightly confused. Joanna could understand the fact that the lady might be guilty because of what had happened but there was this air in the ward that gave her a foreboding feeling. For some reason, she felt stuffy. She felt uncomfortable and her face was starting to show it. There was this voice ringing in
Suddenly, the door banged open and Mark rushed into the ward, sweating profusely. "They are here!" He announced audibly, taking deep breaths in between while struggling to get his head straight."Who are the 'they'?" Ian asked boredly, lightly rubbing Joanna's hair. Thankfully, Mark had come just at the right time when he was trying to find an excuse to give to Joanna. If only he knew the purpose of Mark's interruption, he'd have preferred telling Joanna where her child was."The alpha of Hillwood pack and some other alphas!" Mark gasped."What do they want this time?" Alasdair asked tiredly, having known those packs for their troubles. He could smell it in the air that they were up to no good this time. His only prayer was that his wolf wouldn't end up causing a war between two packs because he was currently finding it hard to control his wolf from letting out his anger."I don't know how they got to know this but news about us having a white wolf in our care has been spread out!" M
"Old man, what is the problem with you? Moreover, are you threatening my pack?" Alasdair leaned on the wall lazily, looking at the middle-aged men from the corner of his eyes."Umm ..wh..what he's trying to say is that if there is news about the white wolf, you should let everyone know so that we can all come to a conclusion on what to do about it," The man standing behind his beta immediately butted in. Alasdair almost burst into laughter from his sneaky words. He was very well aware that when their presence were announced, they were up to no good. "If that is all, you may leave," Alasdair stood straight and stared directly into their eyes. None of them dared to stare into his eyes for fear of him finding out their hidden secrets. This was like a secret power he had over them. Staring into their eyes always did the trick of knowing what they were up to. Seeing them lower their heads, Alasdair smirked and shook his head in pity. They dared to walk into the lion's den without prepar
Joanna watched herself step on the green grasses barefooted, smiling and happily running towards the voice.Was this a dream?It seemed like one yet also didn't seem like one. She watched herself run barefooted towards where the child's voice came from. As Joanna neared the voice, she caught sight of a small figure squatting in the distance, looking like a forest kid. She stealthily walked towards the kid, tilting her head in confusion when she noticed the color of the kid's hair. "H...hi..?" Joanna called out from behind, confused as to what to do in this type of situation.Joanna got no response and just as she was about to call out to the child again, she heard a beautiful humming sound. Never in her life had Joanna heard this tune before. She was so lost in listening to the tune and didn't realize the child was now standing before her.It wasn't until she felt a cold touch on her bare stomach did she see the kid. A loud gasp escaped her mouth as she stared intently at her carbon
They stood before a door and Joanna's body went stiff. She could feel it In her that this was where her dead daughter laid. Ian's situation was no different from Joanna's as he also was scared to show Joanna her dead child. He had passed through this experience and seeing someone dear to him pass through it again was no joke. He knew the agony of mothers having to bury their children with their own hands.Seeing Joanna pass through it was something that pained him deeply. Ian was beginning to have second thoughts about showing Joanna her child's body. Just when he was about to turn back with her, he was shocked by Joanna's next actions. She raised her hand and twisted the knob of the door, pushing it open to welcome the things that laid within.There In the middle of the dimly lit room on a small bed laid her baby whom she was unaware about, whose existence was unknown to her. Joanna's leg automatically carried her towards the figure laying on the bed. Truly, all life was lost
Rising, Joanna realized she was still in the same position she was in before the dizziness took over. She didn't need to be told that was happening to her was no ordinary thing."Mother this isn't normal....," Joanna whispered to her mother while the latter nodded her head in understanding. " I know sweetheart and I believe the only person with such immense power, able to do this to you is none other than Celine, she who you've been in contact with" Stella explained to Joanna who now had an incredulous look on her face."Waaaa....," Alan's loud cry of pain was enough to snap Joanna out of her thoughts. Balling her fists by her side, she slowly removed herself away from. the group, moving slowly towards the witches."What did you do to me and my son?" She hissed, glaring straight at Celine. "Hm, you know what annoys me the most about you? You act like the superior one, walking like everyone is below you. I hate you," Celine seemed to have lost control as she raised a knife in the air,
"Who's next?" Swinging his sword on his shoulder, Elias smiled. Immediately, the young witches stepped backwards in fear, too scared to put to practice the spell they had been taught. "Cowards!" Helen's mother yelled as she came to stand in front of them. "Give up Joanna and we would let her baby go!" She yelled loudly,staring at Elias straight in the eye. Her thoughts were unknown but just as they all thought, Alan was being used as a bargaining chip."How do you expect us to give her up when her son is nowhere in sight?" Mark hissed, glaring at the witches who looked like a colony of ants. Unhappy with what was said by Mark, Helen's mother glared at him but the young Beta didn't flinch. He couldn't be bothered with the nuisance of a witch and was more bothered about Joanna and his mate. He couldn't see Helen too which further made him on edge but he couldn't show it for fear of alerting the enemies. Slowly, Celine walked out from behind the forest, standing right behind the c
This left Aric with one choice which was to kill every witch he came across as fast as he could.Soon enough, he went unto action.Elias and Stella both noticed Altair who was planning on killing another guard and immediately went to stop him. They both directed the guards to kill the other witches while they fought with Altair who seemed displeased by their actions."Why is no one taking my side?" Altair screamed blindly as he fought with them . He was seconds away from changing to his wolf form and they could see it. "... because you're doing the wrong thing. No one is going to take your side," Stella yelled as she dodged his incoming blow.Her words seemed to further anger Altair as he charged towards her once more, leaving Elias out of it. Midway,he changed into his wolf form while Stella transformed to the creature that once haunted Joanna. Everyone on the battlefield could see Stella change and the moment she did, the witches who were starting to have the upper hand all star
Before the coven of witches arrived, the Red moon pack members all arrived safely, with none of the members missing. They were all ushered into Alasdair's home which already contained the Blue moon pack members. "Joanna, you need to stay in. I promise, we would rescue your son and bring him back to you," Sebastian spoke, finally braving up to speak to her."No, stay out of my way. This is my fight," Joanna hissed while he immediately retreated."No, this is our fight!" Mark yelled as he threw his fist into the air."Fine, just be safe," Sebastian gave up stopping her while Joanna ignored his words.Mark was carried outside, behind the flowers where his body was hidden.This was a big risk they had all taken to ensure he'd get back to normal as soon as they spotted Helen, the one who put him in this condition.Althea who had also been locked in Alasdair's house during the previous battle was allowed to join the fight. No one dared to stop her since they all knew her main aim. Alasda
Upon waking up, Joanna realized she had fallen asleep right in the living room just as Elias had spoken."What was that? Please don't tell me you fell asleep while he was talking?" Aric groaned, trying to restrain his laughter but it was fruitless."Hm, de.. definitely not. I just had something to think of. For how long was I out?" Joanna awkwardly questioned, hoping to change the topic as soon as possible. "Sure, no one here is a fool. We were all able to tell you fell asleep for what...? Slept for a total of 15 minutes. I mean, who does that?" Aric continued to sass when Joanna had to keep her mouth shut despite ber shock. She couldn't help but wonder how she was able to have that type of dream in this situation making her seem like she was deranged and had no conscience.If anyone amongst them knew of the dream she just had, Joanna was sure she was going to be eaten by them.She peeked a glance at her mother, hoping to catch the slightest bit of reaction from her to see if she ha
Joanna's POV;I didn't need to be told that I was yet again dreaming in the midst of war. Moreover, why do my dreams always have to be wet dreams I knew would never be fulfilled. Was Sebastian sweet? Definitely not. Was Elias sweet? I really didn't know.Was Alasdair sweet? Yes, but then, why was it that my dream wasn't about him? Everytime I closed my eyes to sleep, I was always ending up in Dreamland. Have I been cursed? I didn't know but then, I recalled something and I hoped at this point, whatever it was that was going to happen in my dreams, my mother shouldn't be watching. Now that she had made herself known beside me, she didn't need to keep watching me in my dreams.After several failed attempts of trying to wake myself and leave Dreamland, I gave up on this idea and rather focused on the situation at hand. How did I even fall asleep in the first place? I couldn't understand this as my thoughts were all jammed up. A touch on my bare shoulder was enough to send me to an ent
At this, Joanna didn't know if she really knew him or he had been pretending. Either ways, now she was starting to doubt her judgment on people."Don't be surprised. He has always been like this," Stella hit Joanna's arm lightly and smiled at her."How did you....Hold up, did you know him before now?" Joanna questioned tentatively."Silly girl, how did you think he was able to accept you unto his home without any hassle? Although he is kind but Elias never trusts anyone to that extent," Stella laughed while Joanna seemed more shocked." Are you trying to tell me that you asked him to take me in?" "Of course," Stella laughed, pulling Joanna to sit."Since when did that happen?" "Unfortunately, your mother wouldn't have the time to narrate the story to you because they are near.." Elias interrupted as he took out his shiny two swords and stared at them.
**18+, killing scene, read at your risk"Things happened after your disappearance," Althea spoke and smiled at Joanna but the latter could see the worry in the little girl's eyes.Joanna didn't need to know what was making her worried and once again, she was overwhelmed with fear; the fear of where her child was."Don't worry, your son will is fine," Her mother coaxed, rubbing her arms lightly.Upon hearing the confidence in her voice, Joanna was surprised as to why."How are you so sure he's fine?" She couldn't help but ask."I'm sure because they can't do anything to hurt him. Don't you know your son has more powers than you? Thereby, making him stronger," Stella laughed while Joanna couldn't help but gulp her saliva.She had already had an inkling as to the fact that Alan had the same powers as her but she didn't realize he had more of it than she did."Aside that, he's just a little boy. What self defense does he know?" Aric asked as he stared at Althea from the corner of his eyes.
"He was taken away by a disguised witch that came for revenge.""What! A disguised witch? What is going on? What do you mean?" Alasdair asked in a hurry as he ran his fingers through his hair. It was at this moment Joanna was a le to see the fatigue in his eyes and now, she felt like she had come back to square one, like the powerless little girl she once was. "Before we continue this conversation,we need to get him inside. It's a long story...," Elias spoke, pointing at Micah who had stopped moving and his eyes were tightly shut. Immediately, they all made their way into Alasdair's house, as they shut the door tightly.Altair was smart enough to protect the house with a spell that didn't allow outsiders to hear what was going on. Indeed, the blue moon pack where everyone treated each other like families had become a pack where they all had to be careful of whom to trust."Now, can someone tell me what the hell is going on here? I'm really so confused," Mark cursed out, slapping hi
