They had all dispersed and Alasdair was currently sitting in his office. His gaze was focused on the computer screen before him. Unknown to Helen, there was a security camera placed right on the mansion above where she stood. With an eyebrow raised, he stared at the screen, watching everything that happened between the her and Melissa in slow motion.Unknown to him, the footage had been tampered with and he was unaware of the fact that Helen had met with the triplets. "What is she hiding? Why did she lie?" Alasdair asked himself, still unable to understand why she did so. It seemed like there were some things about her which he was yet to know. The thought alone made Alasdair shake his head negatively. Why were most of the women whom he had come across always hiding something or the other from him? This also included Joanna who was yet to tell him the pack she came from. At the time when she denied not knowing her previous pack, he pretended not to have known and let her be since he
Alasdair was aware of each and every thing going on. Aside the whereabouts of the triplets, he knew about every step Helen took. Moreover, he was starting to have his doubts.If truly they were mates, Alasdair knew he ought to feel very protective of her but then, he didn't. Earlier when he saw her body covered in blood, it felt like he was only staring at a stranger or no less his pa k member. He had no bit of feeling and it wasn't because he was heartless but he felt something was deeply wrong. Even his wolf had become so withdrawn that Alasdair didn't know what was up. For some reason, he'd get anxious but then, anytime he laid his eyes on the little girl, Althea, it felt like all his sorrows had been removed and he no longer had what to be sad about.Alasdair's thought got pretty messed up. Why was he having the feeling that Joanna was his mate but then, there was this part of him telling him to look clearly. Alasdair couldn't decide. For the first time since the last incident, o
"Old man, why exactly are you here?"After Alasdair ran out of the room to drop off Althea, he came back to his office knowing the old one intentionally came to him for an important purpose.Now,they were sitting down on the couch, opposite each other and Alasdair asked fit the nth time. The old one had his eyes shut while Alasdair had no choice but to wait."I heard about the ones you've taken in this time...," the old one finally spoke and Alasdair was grateful. At first, he frowned at the old man's question but then nodded his head."Yes I did. You also brought in the little girl who was part of them," Alasdair reminded and he watched as the old one opened his mouth in realization."Oh, so she was truly the one...," The old one spoke cryptically while Alasdair frowned. He had no idea what the old one was on about but he knew it was something serious."What's wrong?""Listen here young one. Do not trust anyone easily!" The old one said, staring right into Alasdair's eyes. Alasdair
Difference between news and rumors. Ian badly wished he could find out the meaning since it seemed like he no longer understood English anymore. He believed he had to get a clearer view on the difference between these two words. Listening to the words that flew around, his ear hurt from these rumors. Never did he realize how nosy the members in the pack were until now. He truly wanted to find out who had gone to such great length just to make their Alpha look weak. How did the news about Alasdair fainting get outside and what was this rumor about him being unable to impregnate a woman?Ian vividly remembered choking on the water he was drinking the moment he heard this from one of the pack nurses. At the thought of what Alasdair would do when he wakes up and hears this, Ian couldn't help but laugh. He was in his office, scrolling through some medical textbooks when he a loud growl that shook the whole building of the hospital was released.Ian immediately held on to the sides of his
Joanna was injured!It felt like a bell was repeatedly ringing in his head. Seemed like all his senses were lost, the glaring red blood on the wolf was a deep contrast to its white fur. It hurt the eyes of Ian.Meanwhile, pack members scattered about, all staring at the ongoing event with fear. The two people who had strong powers to control this situation were nowhere in sight. It was understandable that Alasdair was unconscious but then, where was Mark?At that moment, it felt like everything that had to do with him disappeared. It seemed like he was no longer in existence.Ian panicked as he moved from left to right, short of ideas on what to do.The fight between both wolves was still ongoing. None of them seemed to have the upper-hand as they had both managed to injure one another. Due to the fact that Joanna was pregnant, she grew weaker each passing moment she continued to bleed out. Seeing this, Melissa's wolf grew more aggressive, her intent clear on killing Joanna which Ia
Meanwhile, the young lady was on the verge of losing her conciousness. Her eyes opened and closed dreamily, unable to feel her legs and hands. Ian knew delaying any longer could cause a huge loss but he had no idea how he was supposed to carry her when her bones were broken in this manner. Feeling a tap on his shoulder, Ian jolted and lifelessly turned to look at who was that.He met eyes with that of Altair who didn't look surprised with the whole situation. Rather, there was something in his eyes that piqued Ian's curiousity the more he stared at him. "Don't worry, she'll rearrange her bones by herself now. You don't have to look so miserable," He comforted,his hand placed on Ian's shoulder while the latter nodded emotionlessly. He felt like Altair was speaking a different language but being in no mood to find out, he could only nod, pretending to understand, while his thoughts were far from understanding.He was so lost in thought and didn't feel warm fingers touch his hand and
Seconds felt like minutes, minutes felt like hours and hours felt like days. Alasdair was on the verge of losing his sanity right in front of the O.R where the light inside was glaring red. He had never hated the color red so much in his life than he did now. For the hundredth time, the nurses around watched him run his fingers through his hair. He was trying so hard to remain sane and if Melissa was not dead, he'd have killed her again and again. The thought of what she did and what was explained to him made his blood boil in anger. As the nurses stared at their pacing Alpha, they knew in the span of few hours he had been walking, he'd have shot thousands of photos for women to drool over.Alasdair's legs and hands were itching to take action. He was currently trying so hard to act calm but he couldn't, not when he heard about how Joanna's body was bent around.Hours later, when it was almost midnight, the red light went off and Ian walked out like a man who had just passed through
"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.
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
