"I f*cking said she's gone! She left us! She left us and said we should take care of her child!"Alasdair felt his soul leave his body. He was dead to the outside world and the only thing that kept ringing in his head were Ian's news. His legs which had been standing tall grew weak. The strong Alpha whom everyone knew fell to his knees. If anyone were to see him, they'd wonder if he was still the same strong Alpha they knew.He broke down in loud sobs, his knees shaking as he tried to act rational.
note: I apologise for this chapter being short and also the others. Please bear with me.If anyone ever told Alasdair that there'd be a day when he'd be on his knees, crying his eyes out like a baby, he'd have gotten into a fight with the person but then, reality proved to be more of a betrayer. Tears continued to fall down his eyes. The young man was trying so hard to act rational but it felt like he no longer had the sense to do so.What was life without her? The thought of going back to how he once was before she came into his life frightened him. In the past, his life was boring. He couldn't tell whether it was day or night but the moment she stepped into his world, he was able the differentiate this.With his knees shaking, Alasdair tried to think of the good memories he had so as to surpress his rage but they weren't helping. It felt like his soul had left his body. Was he also gone? Because everything definitely felt like a dream.
Could he go back in time to save her? He cried out loudly, throwing his image aside, hoping the moon goddess would have mercy on him and make him go back in time.What was life without her? Alasdair didn't wish to know that. With shaky legs, he rose to his feet and walked towards the opened ward.Stepping into the ward that felt serene, tears sprung from deep within him and he tried all his possible best to hold them back. He wobbly walked towards where she laid and stared at her, not taking his eyes off her lifeless figure. Why had she gone so soon? Why had she left him this early and then what? She asked him to take care of the little one?Alasdair bit his lip to control his sobs. His intentions were unknown as he continued to stare at her, seeming as if he wanted to embed each and every one of her features into his head. Why was life so cruel to him."Oh my goodness!" Helen's loud gasp further heightened his pending anger. For no reason, her voice alone seemed to sprout an anger
Amongst the triplets, the most anxious was none other than Aric who looked like he was on the verge of peeing his pants. "Calm down. She isn't running away," Altair mumbled, rubbing his hand on his forehead tiredly. He looked worn out and if one didn't know better, they'd have thought he had been cutting wood.As expected, no matter what the situation was, Aaryan's expression was one that'd forever remain stoic. He had no change in expression despite the fact that his brothers were getting worried for good reasons. Hurried footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs. They all turned their heads to stare at Micah who was in nothing but loose pants. He was looking like a homeless man who was few seconds away from being buried."Why the hurry?" Surprisingly, it was Aaryan who spoke up. He still had the same cold expression on his face but those who had known him right from time could tell the slight change in his tone.Aric quirked an eyebrow and stared at Micah before turning to
"Hey baby"If anyone told Ian that those were the words that'd make him drop a baby as a doctor, he'd have denied it but reality proved surprising than it seemed.Standing at the entrance of the ward with the door still open was Joanna or Joanna's ghost as Ian thought. He couldn't fathom what was going on. His hands automatically went stiff while he stared at the woman ahead in surprise and shock.Was he dreaming? Had he also gone to heaven? Ian was yet to realize he had dropped the little boy who surprisingly was calm, like he had faith in his mother who was close by.Just as he did have faith in her, blue flames wrapped around him just before he hit the floor.
Just as he did have faith in her, blue flames wrapped around him just before he hit the floor. A loud giggle erupted from his lips and that was enough to snap Ian back to reality. He stared dimdumbfoundedly at the sights before him. One was seeing a baby wrapped in blue flame and the other was seeing someone whom he pronounced dead, alive and kicking again. If anyone were to tell him that he'd one day witness this, Ian would have argued ten times and over but seeing it himself, he was just too short of words."Who are you?" were the words that left his lips.
Ian sounded so stupid at the moment that if Joanna wasn't so focused on her baby, she'd have burst into an epic laughter. She could only hold back her giggle as she focused on holding her baby. The little boy had no worries as he continued to giggle happily. It was the loud banging of footsteps on the floor that finally drew Ian back to reality. Not that he wasn't present but the shock of seeing Joanna and her baby in action could make a deaf man ear. It wasn't the fact that he was overreacting but the fact that he thought he was starting to go insane.
Seeing Alasdair and Micah run towards her like headless chickens, Ian concluded that he wasn't going insane and was pretty normal."You...!" These left Micah's lips who is known to be a root. This short word left his lips wobbly. He was no longer in a trance since he was happy that not he alone had gone insane. It was satisfactory seeing others behaving like him and Ian couldn't be more happier."What in the world is going on?" Alasdair finally broke the record. His question was not only appreciated by Ian but by Micah who looked like he'd pass out anytime soon. "Hey guys"Rather than answering their questions, Joanna greeted and Micah almost passed out then and there due to frustration.The more Alasdair looked at Joanna, the more he felt like something was familiar about her. He followed the direction of her fingers and stared fixatedly at the blue flames she was controlling that had now wrapped around her baby.Few minutes later, the look of realization crossed his face and he now
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
