Chapter Two – The Rescue

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-05 16:13:57

Cerelia’s POV 

I opened my bleary eyes to the sound of footsteps outside. I knew they were returning to torture me again, but I had hardly recovered from the previous ordeal. After they left, the pain was unbearable, making me almost lose my senses. Yet I struggled to stay awake in case they returned to punish me. Ever since they left, no one bothered even to give me water. I hoisted myself to face them again. With no nourishment in my system, my reserves were already down. Would I be able to summon my weapons again? 

The door flew open just like earlier and this time, all four of them entered my cell. I rose to face them all over again. “Well, bi*ch, are you ready to please us?” growled Dan. 

“Never!” I snarled at him, focusing on his mind to manipulate him with illusions.

‘The female has a contagious disease that will kill you. Stay away from her.’ Dan staggered backward while the others approached me.

“Stay back or I’ll rip you apart.” I tried to summon another blade but fell short on my power reserves. They laughed, mimicking my futile threat.

“Oh, come on, it will be fun!” said one of them. 

“I have canine rabies. It’ll be fun to spread my germs to you.” 

“Oh, do you now? I don’t mind at all,” said Dan, my lie not affecting him at all. 

I now had only one way to save myself. It would surely kill me, but at least it would save my honor. I curled up into a ball and gathered all the energy left in my body. Converting it into electric impulses, I transmitted it all over myself. 

“What the f*ck is she up to?” They stopped in confusion. 

Dan touched me, only to yelp with shock as a wave of electric current shot up his arm. “Shit! She’s charged up. Don’t touch her or..” But another one of them had already touched me and got electrocuted. He froze at the spot while the others stepped backwards. 

“What is happening?” asked another. 

“She’s a witch, I think. Let her rot here until Alpha Zephyrus arrives. I doubt he ever will.” They broke the lights in their fury, plunging the room into darkness before leaving. I lost my only source of energy. Soon I would use up all my reserves. Then how would I save myself from these four devils? They would surely return to check up on me. 

I wished death would save me from them, but I ended up in a stupor instead. 

Just as I had predicted, after an hour, they returned to find me in the same condition. Dan kicked me in frustration, only to get electrocuted in return.

“B*tch! Starve to death.” Thankfully, they left me alone. As the hours passed by, all the energy drained out of me, leaving me totally vulnerable, with no way to save myself now. The feat had taken a toll on my health and I hovered on the brink of unconsciousness. 

The door clicked open, and I trembled in fear, knowing how defenseless I was now. I heard footsteps approaching me, but I couldn’t open my eyes out of fear. It was better to curl up into a ball again to fool them. Would they touch me again to check? 

However, this time, I heard a soothing female voice accompanying a male one. “Why is the cell so dark? Where are the lights, Dan?” growled an angry female voice, and I strained my ears to listen. Who was she? 

I opened my eyes slowly to see a humongous male accompanied by a pregnant female inside my cell. Who were they? Did they come here to punish me? Yet they emitted an aura of hope. Maybe I was hallucinating in my drowsy state. How could I trust the Lucerians? They were the worst pack on earth! 

“The fuse blew off last night, Luna.” A helpless whimper left my mouth on realizing who she was. I wanted to inform them of the truth but hardly found my voice. The feat earlier had sapped all my energy out of my body. 

“Why hasn’t it been fixed yet?” 

“I’m sorry, Luna. I’ll get it fixed by tomorrow.” 

“No, fix it right now.” Dan hesitated while I listened intently. 

“It isn’t possible since our electrician isn’t available now.” 

“Get me a new light. I’ll fix it,” growled the male, who had to be Alpha Zephyrus. Dan rushed to do his bidding and soon returned with a new bulb. Alpha Zephyrus fixed it in no time, and the cell was bathed in light once again. 

A gasp escaped them at the sight of me, and they approached me cautiously. 

“I want to talk to her alone,” said the Luna in a motherly tone. It instilled hope in me, a hope of being rescued from this hellhole. 

“Be careful, Luna. She might attack you. It’s a wild thing!” Dan warned, glaring at me with hatred. I could see the death threat in his eyes, forbidding me to open my mouth to give him away. 

“Yes, Lena. It’s not safe for you to tackle her in your condition.” My heart sank at the Alpha’s warning. Would she give up and go away? 

‘Please don’t leave me here!’ I tried to connect to the Luna but couldn’t. There wasn’t a drop of energy left in me. I was dying.

“She’s harmless, trust me. Please, can you both step out, Alpha?” said the Luna while I watched her helplessly. 

“I’ll find out what’s going on here,” said Alpha Zephyrus, on his way out. The Luna closed the door after them and turned to face me.

I looked up at her, and then around the room to ensure no one was around. 

“No one’s here. It’s only me. I’m the Luna of the Luceres Pack. You have nothing to fear me.” She walked slowly towards me, opening her overcoat and handing it out to me. 

From the warm look in her eyes, I knew I could trust her. I accepted the coat and put it on.

“What’s your name?” I searched her eyes. They didn’t judge me at all, unlike the others.

“C-Cerelia Belmont.” 

“How old are you?” I didn’t want to hide my identity from the Luna. If anyone could help me, it was her.

“Seventeen. I’ll be eighteen in a week. Please save me from them! I’m not a spy.” 

“Did they force themselves on you?” I nodded since it was the truth. Although I had saved myself from their abuse, I wanted them punished.

“How many of them?” 

“Four!” 

The Luna gasped with horror. “Can you recognize all four of them? I will punish them.” 

I nodded slightly as my head reeled. It seemed I had been waiting to ensure the culprits received their deserved punishment. My heartbeats slowed down, and I knew I wouldn’t make it alive out of here. Holding onto my head, I fell back to the cold, damp ground in a heap. 

Soon, Alpha Zephyrus returned with Dan and the other guards.

“Why is the prisoner in such a condition? Your duty was to guard her and ensure she didn’t escape. Then why was she physically abused by four of you?” I could hear them, but couldn’t come out of my stupor. “This is a punishable offense. I will get to the root of this to punish the culprits.” 

“Let’s carry her to the car, Alpha. Can you ask them to get a blanket?” said the kind Luna. 

Soon, they wrapped me in a warm blanket, and Alpha Zephyrus picked me up in his arms.

They took me to the hospital complex, where Alpha Zephyrus carried me inside. 

It was a futile effort since I knew I was sinking. No amount of treatment could save me now. It was too late. 

The sound of footsteps made me stir. Despite the mayhem all around, how did I hear someone approaching us? Why did a tingling pine and lemony male scent hit my nose? 

“Bro, what happened?” said the same spine-tingling male voice I had heard before. Despite my stupor, I was acutely aware of him. How could that be possible?

“Save her if you can, Alexandrios. She’s a spy and I need her alive.” I desperately wanted to protest. I was no spy but an innocent silver wolf here to save myself! 

“I’ll try. Here, hand her over to me. Rob, get a stretcher,” yelled the same sexy voice, taking me in his arms. 

Electric tingles shot up my body the moment he cradled me against his warm chest. It gave me the strength to open my eyes and look at him. A gasp of surprise escaped my lips when I drowned in the same electric blue eyes I had seen before. 

He was the same hunky male I had collided with earlier. 

So he was my doctor! 

Our gazes locked for a split second and Lia struggled to get free. 

‘Mate!’ she whispered again. Could she be mistaken for the second time?

‘Mate!’ whispered the male voice, but my eyes closed, shutting him out forever. 

I knew I couldn’t make it. I couldn’t find out if he was actually my mate. A tear rolled down my eyes as I sank into oblivion.

However, the blood oozing from her wounds had me concerned. The overcoat covering her hardly covered her tattered clothes and injuries. My heart sank with dread at seeing her condition. Who had done this to her? I ignored my wolf, Rio, who kept chanting only one word since he saw her.‘Mate!’ “She’s a spy, Alex. Don’t let her die. I need to extract important information out of her,” said Alpha Zephyrus as we rushed towards the elevators. My heart sank with disappointment. Was my mate a spy? The girl looked too young and innocent to be a spy. “Are you sure, bro? I don’t think she’s an adult even. Who did this to her?” Rob brought a stretcher, and I eased her gently into it, but couldn’t loosen her grip on my coat. A wave of tenderness filled my heart for the young female, critically wounded a

The door opened and Dr. Sylvia rushed in with two nurses before I could ask Cerelia anything else. I swore under my breath out of frustration. There were so many things I wanted to know about her. She was too innocent and vulnerable to be a spy. While I was sure she wasn’t one, Zephyrus was adamant in his belief. I couldn’t go against Zephyrus, not because he was the Alpha of the pack. It was because he was like a big brother and a guardian to me. Leandros and I would have died that night twenty years ago when the Whiteridge Pack had attacked us. We lost our families and were forced to flee Lucania to save our lives. Zephyrus took us to his ancestral home in the kingdom of Aromania, Greece, which became our home for the last twenty years. I was indebted to Zephyrus and his extended family for educating me and helping me fulfill my dreams. “Doctor Vasiliou, the patient has lost her

Tonight I needed to get a few fresh clothes and a refreshing warm shower as well. What if Cerelia found me undesirable when she woke up? Rio chuckled, sensing my thoughts. ‘Undesirable indeed! Why do you want her to desire you? You aren’t interested in her, right?’ My cheeks colored, and I muttered curses at my wolf as I walked out of Cerelia’s room. I could hide my thoughts from the world, but not from Rio. ‘F*ck off, Rio.’ I stormed out of the front door when I saw Zephyrus alight from his car right in front of me. Now I had no way of escape. “Good to see you here. I have no time to go inside. So is there any update on the spy girl, Alexandrios?” I hesitated but shook my head. “She opened her eyes briefly before sinking again. Dr. Sylvia was with me and I couldn’t ask her anything.

Maybe I was mistaken, since she lay in the same position as before, without moving even an inch. I leaned towards her, placing my mouth close to her ear. “Cerelia? Can you hear me? I promise never to leave you from now on. Open your eyes and see me fighting for you.” There was no response, but I didn’t give up. I picked up her hand like before and massaged it, sending warm signals to her brain. “I will fight the red wolves for you. I’ll fight Alpha Achlys too. You’re my mate, Cerelia. I’ll never give you up.” I meant every word I spoke. Tears pooled in my eyes as my heart filled with sorrow. She couldn’t die on me. “I want you to turn eighteen and live a fulfilling life with me. Don’t you want that?” I had no idea if she was listening to me, but I rambled on, wiping my eyes occasionally. Memories flooded through my mind of a similar trauma I

My throat choked with painful emotions as I thought about my father, my pack, and my village. My life had been picture-perfect until the Red Wolves attacked us out of the blue. Now, I couldn’t connect with anyone in the world. It seemed I was an alien amidst a sea of shifters. The only one who took care of me was my mate, Xandrios, but I couldn’t tell him who I was. What if he threw me out of his house? Where would I go? I looked at him and drowned in his beautiful electric-blue eyes. There was so much adoration in his eyes, I wanted to trust him blindly. Maybe some part of me already did. Xandrios had proved himself already. He was the only one in the world I could call my own. He was my mate, who had already promised me a forever. But how could that be possible?How could an ordinary shifter wolf be my mate? Shouldn’t my mate be a Silver Wolf too? Moreover, he was

    Alexandrios’s POV “She isn’t fit to be released now. I want to keep her here for another week. Once she regains her strength, you can decide what to do with her.” I could feel Zephyrus’s annoyance at the other end, but I wasn’t giving up my mate. “You’re not abiding by the rules of the pack, Alex. The Luceres Pack has zero tolerance for spies. I won’t have her here for a week. What if she harms us?” I groaned at his false alarm. “I don’t think she’s a spy, bro. She’s an orphan. The Red Wolves have destroyed her pack and territory.” He grunted in disbelief. “Is that the story she had fed you? I have other facts to prove she’s a spy, here to hack into our information systems. I would advise you to step up the cyber security of your hospital, Alex. This is serious.” My jaws dropped with shock at his misconception about my innocent little mate. What was wrong with Zephyrus? Why couldn’t he deal with the actual culprits instead of an underage soul? Before I could protest and support m

All the courage I had mustered up to thank him left me and I stilled for a moment. Was I the only one feeling the heat? Was he immune to me? I released him abruptly and whirled around to flee. What did I do? He was way older and more experienced than me. Obviously, he didn’t want me. My instincts were right. I shouldn’t have come to Lucania. This place could never be my home.“Wait, Cerelia. Where are you going?” He came to his senses and lunged forward to grab hold of me, but I escaped and headed towards the main door. “I’m fine now, Xandrios. Maybe it’s time for me to leave. I’m eighteen and legally an adult. So I know what I’m doing. It’ll save you the trouble and you can concentrate on your work.” “No f*cking way! As if I’d let you go.” He rushed after me and stood blocking the door. “Are you out of your mind? Do you

I had never expected to revive it and fulfill his dream after so many years, Cerelia, but I have.” My eyes filled with tears of happiness for him. At least he could fulfill his father’s wish, whereas I had no way of doing so. “I’m sure he’s very proud of you wherever he is.” Xandrios paused and gave me a look of astonishment. “Do you really think so?” I nodded sadly. While his father was feeling proud of him, my dad might have been disappointed in me. “Yes. So what if they aren’t with us? My dad used to tell me that my mom was watching over me, guiding me, and saving me from all evil.” His eyes widened, and he nodded, looking so vulnerable that my heart went out to him. I wanted to tell him all about me, the way he had, but my life was so complicated. I had sworn never to let anyone know my true identity. Silver Wolves were e

After all, there was a time when he hated me. “Welcome back to Lucania, Cerelia. How are you now?” he asked in a good-natured way, releasing my mate. I searched his eyes and saw no judgemental look hidden there. Xandrios had truly cleared every ounce of doubt from Zephyrus’s mind. “I’m fine, Alpha. How’s your Luna?” I had always liked Lena more than him. She was kind and forgiving, like a mother should be. “She’s doing fine. You can meet her tomorrow when you officially join our pack. There is a meeting in the morning at around 10. Why don’t you come down to the packhouse with Alex? You can meet the entire pack and join us.” I glanced at my mate, not knowing what plans he might have. I couldn’t go to the packhouse on my own in this condition.“We’ll be there, Zeph.” Zephyrus nodded at my mate and smiled at me before joining Stavros at the bar for a drink. “Are you

    Cerelia’s POV The cab sped down the familiar roads and entered Lucania at last. All tiredness and exhaustion vanished, and I gazed out of the windows. The memories came rushing into my mind. They weren’t happy memories. A strange restlessness gripped my heart. What if the pack members didn’t accept me? What if Zephyrus didn’t want me in his pack? That angle hadn’t occurred to me until now. I turned to look at my clueless mate. “Xandrios, what if they don’t want me?” He smiled at me, pulling me to his side. “You have nothing to fear, baby. I’ve cleared your name when I returned to Lucania. Now the whole pack knows your true identity. Why won’t they accept you?” His words relieved me. He hadn’t forgotten while it had totally escaped my mind. “Oh, you remembered? Thank you, Xandrios. What about Zephyrus? Did he change his notion about me?” “Yes. He apologized, and he has agreed to welcome you to the pack. Are you happy now, Cerelia? I sought help from Alpha Alexios to prove your tru

His muscular arms went around me to keep me upright. “Are you alright, Cerelia?” His voice was warm against my ear and I sagged into his chest, maybe to stop him from leaving. “How can I be alright when you’re leaving me, Xandrios?” I looked up to see the fleeting emotions of pain and longing in his eyes. “You know I don’t want to leave you. That’s the reason I was dreading meeting you. I knew I couldn’t go after meeting you once.” He held my face between his hands and drowned in my eyes. “I couldn’t leave without meeting you even.” “Then don’t leave without me.” His arms fell to his sides in defeat. “I have to, Cerelia, but I’ll be back next month.” He flashed a tight smile at me while my heart wanted to howl and protest. How could he leave me for a month? “I won’t survive that long without you, Xandrios. Take me with you,

    Cerelia’s POV I watched my mate in awe. How did his speech melt the bitter hearts of two hundred silver wolves? I had no idea, and neither did Alpha Alexios. He smiled at my mate, embracing him for easing his task. It wasn’t easy to convince bloodthirsty wolves who had been agitating for the last two months. Yet my mate made it look like a child’s game. I was glad he could connect to them with his honesty and simplicity, the way he connected to me. “Beta Theodore, do you agree to the rules of the council and the new rules of the pack?” asked Uncle Alarik. “Yes. If no one has a problem, I don’t either.” I released a sigh of relief that all matters were resolved, and there would be peace now. “The meeting is dismissed. Let’s join hands and make Pieria a heaven on Earth for all silver wolves. There’s another good news for the pack members. As a token of appreciation, Dr. Vasiliou has agreed to set up a hospital for all of us in Pieria. We wouldn’t need to go to Thessaloniki for medi

Nikos tried to protect me, knowing my delicate condition.Xandrios looked even more furious. What was wrong with him? “Why can’t I? How could you move on from me, Cerelia? How could you forget me and accept him in your life?”I gaped at him as realization struck me. Did he think Nikos was my rebound? Did he think I was carrying my brother’s pups?“Are you out of your mind? Nikos is my brother. Why will I move on with him? If you don’t want to accept me and your pups, why are you here? I’m fine. I’m alive. Go away, Xandrios. I don’t need you.”I left him frozen on the spot as tears stung in my eyes. “Bro, please, can you help me to my room? I’m feeling dizzy.” I didn’t look at Xandrios, my heart breaking at his lack of trust in me. Didn’t he feel my love for him? I had endured so much, hoping to unite with him one day. For months, I waited for him to rescue

Aunt Sophia still thought my condition was critical, although I wasn’t bedridden anymore. Yet I couldn’t leave the mansion and go to Lucania.We were all imprisoned inside. There was mayhem outside with Grandpa’s supporters demanding justice. They wanted Uncle Alarik to step down and Grandpa’s friend and counselor, Beta Theodore, to take over as Alpha of the Silvermane Warriors. With an impeccable track record of always following the rules of the pack, he was a strong contender. But our family refused to bend to their demands. As Grandpa’s true successors, Uncle Alarik and Uncle Viktor were the rightful leaders of the pack. Every day, their demands grew violent an

    Alexandrios’s POV Annabeth frowned as she switched on the lights. I waited anxiously for her to explain. Cerelia’s face kept on flashing across my mind. Was she in pain? Did her grandpa start the purification process? Had she forgotten me? Had she mated with a Silver Wolf? Whose hand was she holding? I was at my wit’s end, with so many questions flitting across my mind. I needed answers. “The black smoke you saw denotes danger. It seems your mate is shrouded in danger. The painful expression on her face denotes health issues. Maybe she too was unconscious, like you, for a long time. It points at a curse, but the white cloud looks hopeful. The evil force controlling your mate is no more. The curse has vanished. She’s free now.” I watched her with confusion, my mind swirling already. I couldn’t understand her. “If Cerelia’s free, can I go to Pieria and rescue her?” Annabeth gave me an agitated look. “No, not until the black smoke reduces. You could lose your life, son.” My heart an

I suddenly lost consciousness when on my rounds. The tests produced no problem at all. Yet I was in a semi-conscious state for fifteen days, receiving intravenous treatment. I could hear and feel everyone’s concern, but couldn’t move an inch. I was at my wit’s end and so were my close friends and colleagues, Dr. Daniels and Dr. Bradley. They couldn’t pinpoint the cause of my illness from my reports. I could hear Zephyrus and Stavros discuss the possibility of a curse. “I have a hunch that even Cerelia is suffering the same. It’s a mated wolf’s curse, prevalent among the Silver Wolves as a punishment for disobedience. I had heard about it when in Aromania,” said Zephyrus. My heart sank with dread, and I forced myself to open my eyes. I saw the look of surprise on Zephyrus and Stavros’ faces. “Alex

    Cerelia’s POVI stirred, but my body ached tremendously. It seemed like the last drop of energy was wrenched out of me. Was I dead? Did Grandpa’s deathly grip or the touch of his sword to my skin kill me?I could hear faint voices near me. It seemed I was far away, unable to open my eyes or move my body. A cold metal touched my chest, and I gasped, filling my lungs with a lot of oxygen. What was it? I tried to shout for help, but no sound came out of my lips.“She’s responding!” someone cried out close to my ears. I recognized that voice instantly. It was Nikos’s. So I wasn’t dead. I was still at the mansion and my brother was with me.“Nikos,” I croaked into the deafening silence. “Water.”There was a shuffle, and someone held water to my lips. I drank a sip and then another. It energized me, and I slowly opened my eyes. Everything was blurred and I could hardly focus on anyone. The room was full of my family members. Was my grandpa here too? Fear gripped my heart as I blinked to ref
