"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
"Hey, what's wrong? See what? What are you talking about?" Just as Micah was confused, so was Alasdair.Joanna's mouth opened and closed like a fish lacking water. 'Am I starting to go insane?' She asked herself while pinching her hand to see if she was truly okay. Then, what was that? What did I just see? She questioned internally while staring at the corner of the ward like it was the most prettiest thing she had ever seen.Micah and Alasdair both shrugged their shoulders not knowing what she was on about.'Maybe I was just imagining things,' Joanna mumbled and turned around to face Alasdair and Micah."Do not mind me, I saw wrong," Joanna awkwardly laughed while they only nodded in return and stared at her dubiously."Out with it," Few seconds later, Joanna remembered her question to them . She threateningly glared at them, quietly urging them to spit out whatever was in their minds.Alasdair and Micah both went ahead to explain all they knew about her kind, who she really was and
Alasdair slammed the door closed in shock. Who was that? He asked himself but then his wolf who perceived the scent of his mate in a glance internally rolled his eyes and reminded him who that was.Alasdair frowned and just as Helen was about to knock on the door again, he pulled it open, making her hand hang in the air."You!" Alasdair cursed under his breath after taking a closer look at Helen's face.Make up was smudged all over her face and together with the short princess gown she was wearing, she looked like a lost soul to Alasdair."Why are you like this? Why is your face looking....," Alasdair had no words to describe her and kept mute.Micah and Joanna were confused as to who he was talking with for so long. Just when Micah, the gossip lover was about to lose his patience from waiting for so long, Alasdair let Helen into the world.Micah let out a girlish scream the second he set his eyes on Helen."Who in God's name is that?" He yelled as he jumped on the bed, tightly holdi
Oblivious to the funny atmosphere, Mark nodded his head repeatedly and just as he came in abruptly, he walked out of the ward abruptly.Micah's lips twitched as he stared at his retreating back.'At least, he seems to care about her,' he thought, shaking his head while turning to look at Joanna.No one noticed that Helen had long frozen where she stood. She had been holding her breath ever since Mark stepped into the ward. Once he was out, it took a good minute for her to come back to life. She released the breath she had been holding and shakily placed her hand on the wall for support. Gasping lightly,she quietly walked out of the ward, thinking no one knew.Alasdair who had sensed his mate's fear as soon Mark had walked in had his eyebrows raised in confusion. Why was she scared? He believed that the one she ought to be scared of the most was either him or Micah. Then, why was she scared of Mark?He turned his attention back to Joanna and felt his heart shake. Damn it! 'Moon goddes
*****RED MOON PACKIt's been weeks but the figure of the blue haired lady was yet to leave his head. Why had she left such a deep impression on him? Sebastian didn't know but his gut feeling told him something was up. Even with Chloe's presence, the blue haired lady kept appearing in his head. Why was he attracted to her? Although her scent was different from his true mate's scent but the feeling he had was just as strong. If it was truly Joanna he had caught a glimpse of at the party, then Sebastian believed she was justified to hide away from him. He had never treated her like his mate, no less like a slave. He knew she was treated worse than a slave and for months he had been regretting his actions.There was no where he hadn't searched for amongst the pack and that too the Blue moon pack included. He had his ways!Should I go into the human world? He asked himself, muttering under his breath."Alpha, you can't do that. We really need you here now that the pack seems to be weakeni
"Can't you see me?" Stumping her foot, Chloe yelled but then, Sebastian lost his patience.In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Chloe and choked her, his hands tightly squeezing her neck."Don't you ever dare speak to me in that manner," Sebastian's hand tightened on her neck, his gaze murderous as he stared at her straight in the eye.Chloe's face down to her neck had gone from red to purple and in a matter of few minutes, she'd be a long story. The head warrior dared not talk as he sat stiffly on the chair and pretended not to see Chloe's hand which was stretched out towards him."L...let me go," Unwilling to give up like this, Chloe pretended to be cool as she stared at Sebastian. She tried to keep on a cool gaze but Sebastian's grip on her neck was just too tight.Rather than releasing her since he didn't want to make her doubt him, Sebastian tightened his grip on her neck. All the built up anger in him was immediately sent straight to his hand which was tightly gripping Ch
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
