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
Micah's next action shocked both Ian and Joanna, for the nth time!He cleaned his tears with his sleeve and the tearful expression he had was nowhere to be seen again. What was more astonishing was that he turned to Joanna smiling brightly at her, his teeth out in full display that no one would be able to tell he was the man crying seconds ago. Between Joanna and Ian, none of them dared to ask him for fear that the unthinkable may happen. The situation couldn't be any more awkward and Joanna was starting to get uncomfortable."Hi, you're back! How was your trip?" Micah asked, smiling at Joanna who was finding it hard to comprehend the whole situation she just witnessed. Ian coughed lightly to reduce the awkwardness."She'll be f-, No, she's fine," Ian corrected himself and gave Joanna an encouraging smile. Alasdair was nowhere in sight at that moment, making Joanna's mood get slightly down. Micah nodded his head in understanding. No matter how hard he was trying to look cheerful,
***Blue moon packAlasdair and Mark were currently in Alasdair's office. They were hastily attending to the papers that were supposed to have been taken care of for weeks. Due to the unexpected incident, they hadn't been able to do so until now. Though Mark looked like he was intently focused on the documents, Alasdair who was utterly drained could tell he was distracted. If only the young Alpha knew what was between his childhood friends…"Enough! Tell me what the problem with you is," Alasdair slammed his hands on the table, watching Mark intently like a hawk intently watching a chick.A sigh escaped Mark's mouth as he rubbed his forehead in exhaustion. He raised his head and stared into Alasdair's eyes, his mouth opening and different emotions swirling in his orbs but then, he closed his mouth back immediately and his previous emotions were replaced by the one Alasdair was all too familiar with- Mark's daily expression that screamed 'I'm okay!' even if he wasn't. It was an express
Oblivious to the presence of the creature behind him, Alasdair yawned lightly, making his way towards the chair. Just as the creature's outstretched claws were about to strike down on him, Joanna, who was formerly asleep literally jumped out of the bed, her eyes wide open. Without wasting a second, the creature disappeared, making sure Joanna didn't get to catch a glimpse of its features. If she ever knew about it, the consequences would end up being disastrous which the creature wasn't ready to encounter. Alasdair was scared out of his wits when Joanna jumped out of bed. Out of fright, he had also jumped and stared around warily, his eyes filled with caution. "What? What happened?" He asked loudly, his heart almost jumping out of his chest. If only Alasdair knew that the strange feeling he had a few minutes ago was regarding the creature that had almost taken his life without him having any idea about it.Gasping for breath, Joanna clung onto his arm, thinking of possible incidents
"Alpha?" Melissa called out hastily, upon realizing Alasdair was about to close the door on her.Alasdair stopped and stared at her emotionlessly, his eyes filled with impatience. "W…where is she?" Her voice came out as a whisper and Alasdair who had clearly heard her pretended not to. He feigned confusion with one of his eyebrows raised."Hm?" Alasdair grunted, releasing a beastly sound deep from his throat. Melissa visibly gulped and swallowed in fear."I just want to apologize for what I did to her. Please Alpha, where is she?" Melissa begged. Tears fell from her face as she bowed her head in shame. If anyone had told Alasdair that such a thing would be happening now, he'd have denied it tenfolds. It took a great effort in him not to show the shock he had on his face."Hm and what makes you think I'd believe you?" Alasdair snickered. He had almost believed what she said and if he didn't know her, he'd have thought she was sincere with her pleading. "Please Alpha, I really mean it
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
