Whimpering and groaning, Joanna managed to walk back to her room.Few minutes ago, she was only a few steps away from her room, wanting to get something to eat but then, an unknown pain in her stomach hit her like a hurricane. Joanna had never felt this type of pain before and at that moment, she believed death was better than the pain.There was no one around her and the only choice she had was to walk back to her room to seek help from Alasdair even when she didn't want to.Screaming for help wasn't a choice because Joanna was sure she didn't have the feeling of having a voice.She could only let out small whimpers as she heavily walked back to her room.Upon seeing Joanna's state, Alasdair had no time to worry if he had been kissing Helen as his priority was to make sure Joanna was safe.Displeased, Helen's eyes glinted as she glared at Joanna who was trying so hard to stable her breathing. Too furious, Helen was yet to realize she was now breathing heavily due to intense anger.Al
Night time came, everyone except a few guards watching the pack's border had gone to sleep. The chirping noises of crickets and the flapping of wings of bed could be heard. The cooing of owls was enough to forever be a child's nightmare. Admist this, the figure of a person shrouded in a thick cloak speedily passed by the pack's borders, into the forest. The guards who stood watch only felt a gust of wind hit them. They were unaware of the presence of the one who had just passed.****In the forestTaking off the cloak, Helen's figure which was illuminated by the bright moonlight came into view. In her hand was a small dagger that looked very blunt. Raising her hand, she began chanting unknown words while the mood got slightly darker. Anyone who had been watching the moon intensely could tell that there was a change in it.The birds around suddenly stopped flapping their wings, the crickets had all gone quiet and even the young crickets had stopped crying for food. The owls had stopped
If Helen was asked how she had gotten to the pack, she'd be too shocked to respond as she was yet to recover from the earlier shock. At that time, she didn't find it hard in figuring out what the exact stench was as she was all too familiar with it. What she didn't understand was why she found such a thing in the forest, close to the Blue moon pack whose Alpha was known to be upright.But then, Helen got another shock of her life when she caught a whiff of another scent amidst the stench. The scent was just like that of the one she rarely saw in the mansion. Just to be sure her mind wasn't playing tricks on her, her other side sniffed properly and that was how Helen dazedly got home in shock.As she woke up the next morning, she was unable to remember how she had escaped the guards guarding the pack on the border. She stared up at the ceiling, still digesting the information she had found out. An unknown fear sprouted in her. Who really was he?She thought to herself. Helen was obliv
Just when they were about forcing themselves to have their meals, they were interrupted."Alpha, there seems to be a huge problem!" Sighing loudly, Alasdair dropped the table knife rubbing his forehead in fatigue."What is it now?" He groaned in irritation. Alasdair wasn't irritated because his meal time was disturbed, not that he even felt like eating but because he was tired of everything. All he wanted was a long vacation by the beach where he could relax his head and have fun rather than spending his time signing series of projects. "There are Alphas outside who err... umm," the guard was nervous to talk. He stared anywhere but at Alasdair who was about to explode in anger."Spit it out," He groaned."They seem to be protesting about a missing Alpha. I have no idea what they want but they just keep yelling that they want to talk to you," The guard announced fearfully.When he said this, he had become Mark's and Helen's full concentration.They both had different thoughts running
As they kept in yelling for answers, Alasdair's frown kept deepening and it was only a matter of time before he'd be able to squish a bug in it."We want answers!" Thru kept yelling while he stood before them with his hands in his pockets, looking so bored like he was done with life."Who is missing?" Few minutes later, he finally spoke, further rilling them up.The Alphas immediately went ahead to describe who exactly was missing. A few of them remembered his small clash with Micah and also included that.Seeing that they did so, Alasdair had an idea about what they were up to. He shook his head at them and glanced at Mark from the corner of his eyes while they both came to a silent agreement - 'we'll talk about this later.'"What does that have to do with my pack? Why have you all come to trouble me for such menial thing. Moreover, before you come here to accuse me, have you made sure that he offended no one who now exerted their revenge on him by doing this?"His question immediate
"So, what do we do? What should they be told? Moreover, what did you do to his body?" Alasdair asked In all seriousness. Being the beta of the pack, Mark understood his worry and also became serious."They wouldn't be able to find his body but they'll have their suspicions," Saying this, Mark gulped lightly."Suspicions? You of all people know that is the worst that could happen! Sweet mother of God!" Alasdair cursed, rubbing his palm on his face and tightly holding his hair with his other hand."Sh*t! But.... I'll go and check the location this midnight and see what I can do," Mark gulped nervously as he began thinking of things he could do to reduce the stench he knew would definitely be in the forest."Hold up! You haven't answered my question. What exactly did you do to his body?" If anyone else were here to see how they both discussed how to dispose the body of a person by talking like they were speaking of a trash, he/she would have fainted and Joanna was no exception.She was
Before she could scream in fright, she heard the creature whisper into her ear;"Don't you dare! Do not say a word if you want to see tomorrow's sunset."Helen felt her skin crawl in irritation. The creature's voice was far from sweet and beautiful to listen to. Her ears hurt alone from listening to the creature from afar and now that the creature was actually talking straight into her ear, Helen felt like she was going to go deaf any moment from now.She vigorously nodded her head in agreement, silently giving her word to the unknown creature not to scream. "Good girl," the creature whispered.Even as its voice was near, Helen was unable to tell if it was a male or a female. Its voice was like that of someone's whose voice had been altered by a machine, making one unable to differentiate its sexuality."PL…please, what do you want from me?" Helen pleaded. Her voice came out as a whisper while trying hard to maintain her posture."Hm…we'll talk about that later, for now, I have to go
She was never unconscious ever since Alasdair had carried her. Truly, she had fainted upon hearing Alasdair's and Mark's conversation but after then few seconds later, she began regaining conciousness.Joanna heard every conversation between Alasdair and Ian. Now, she also heard the conversation between Alasdair and Micah.She pretended to still be unconscious as she thought...what were they hiding from her? What was it about her that she wasn't aware of? Joanna was confused as she laid stiffly on the bed, pretending to be asleep. Wanting to satisfy he curiousity, she opened her mouth to speak."What are you both hiding from me?" She questioned with her eyes closed.The two men in the ward froze in their actions as they slowly turned their head towards her and stared at her in shock."Is she dreaming?" Micah was the first person to break the silence. He assumed Joanna was dreaming since her eyes were still closed and she showed no signs of being awake. Moreover, they believed in Ian
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
