By the time Arya opened her eyes, meeting the familiar room décor and warm feeling, she realized that she was in her room and relief washed through her before she froze again. Memories of the previous night rushed into her head and Arya managed to seat on the bed praying that whatever might have happened was a dream. Just as she was thinking, there was knock on her room door.

“Come in” Arya muttered quietly. The door opened and her mother let herself in with her dad behind her.

“Hey baby girl” her mom started walking to her to hug her but Arya was quick to shrink away from her freezing her mother in place.

“Who are you? Where have you hidden my mom?” Arya shot at her mom and seeing the hurt flash through her mother’s eyes, she swallowed her saliva and turned to her Dad.

“Dad, something weird really happened yesterday. Something really weird” Arya started darting glances at her mom.

“Things weird as you seeing humans morph into wolves and wolves morphing into humans right?” Her Dad ask

    Arya didn’t know when she slept off but when she woke up, there was Eileen seating at the edge of her bed.“Are you feeling alright?” Eileen asked quietly and Arya stared at her confused.“How did you know I was at home Eileen?” Arya asked not wanting to believe the thought that swept across her mind.“Because, I as well, I am a wolf” Eileen replied quietly.“I am a werewolf specifically to protect you” Eileen added.Arya stared at Eileen as if she had grown three heads. She chuckled while trying to seat up on her bed.“So you knew about this all long?” Arya asked and Eileen nodded her head.“Yes, I did” Eileen replied.“That was why you went all freaky when I decided to go for the mountain trip. You even had a big fight with me because of it” Arya pointed out but silence was served as an answer for her.“I don’t even know who to trust again. You who I took as my best friend kept such a huge secret from me” Arya said and Eileen chuckled.“Like you would have believed me if I told you

    Alston brows pulled together lightly while listening to what the chief priestess had just said. He had never heard of such child of destiny; how did she appear in the pack?“Why don’t you explain this to me well Nagi? I do not understand what you are saying” Alston said quietly his words bringing silence to the pack that had gathered at the hall.“A child that has been destined to bring woes to our lands? A child destined to be blessed with dark witches’ power greater than we have ever seen? What is that child?” Alston asked again.“Years ago, the former chief priestess committed an abomination, no one knew how she did it or what she did to make it happen but a prophecy came from other priestess that the child the chief priestess was carrying was that child of destiny” Nagi replied bowing her head as she spoke.“If the prophecy came out then, shouldn’t she have been arrested?” Alston asked his brows furrowed twice as before.“The chief priestess was the strongest priestess that the we

    “Ready to go back to school?” Arya smiled slightly watching her mom set the table. It had been a week since she last went to school. After everything that had happened and Eileen explaining everything to her, Arya had decided to go back to her normal life before the incident. She couldn’t continue staying cooped up at home doing nothing. Besides as along as Eileen was with her, she was going to be fine so after much deliberation, she decided to go back to school.“Not excited, I feel way too normal for a school day” Arya replied and her mom nodded at her.“I know. Things are not the same anymore Arya, things are different for you now” her mom replied and Arya nodded.“I guess so” Arya replied shaking her head and stretching to pick a pancake.In reality, for some reason she was anxious and nervous to go back to school. She had no idea why but she knew that her mom was right, she had all of sudden realized that her life was not what it seems to be.“Eileen is here” her mom said and Ary

    “You look so distracted” Eileen said searing her fries with ketchup. Arya grabbed her soda and took a gulp without replying Eileen.“Is this about Angry Bird being your Protector?” Eileen asked and Arya finally raised her head to meet Eileen.“Eileen I feel…...” Arya started to reply but Eileen cut her in half.“Terrible. Guilty” Eileen finished for her and Arya stared at Eileen stunned for a moment and nodded her head.“What should I do?” Arya asked and Eileen smiled slightly.“Nothing Arya, there’s nothing you can do about that. What has happened has happened Arya. The only thing you could have done was rewind the time and make sure you never went to that mountain trip” Eileen replied.“And unfortunately we are not time travellers and neither do we have that ability to time travel” Eileen added and Arya swallowed her saliva.“Arya; nothing has changed except that the clan will of course be sending people after you, that’s why we are here in the first place. To protect you; it’s our

    Alston furrowed his brows while staring at the school in front of him. Looking for whosoever was the destined witch or whatnot wasn’t a big deal for him. He just had to use his information source in the human world. Sources from the human world were prohibited for reasons that Alston couldn’t personally understand and that was why he didn’t offer to help when they had sent the news of her to other clans. “She’s a student?” Alston asked and Zachariah nodded his head. “The school had come to the mountains on a trip and somehow she had wandered off and found herself there” Zachariah replied and Alston nodded his head. Zachariah heard the leaves behind him rustle and Alston was nowhere to be found; rolling his eyes, he dashed after him. Despite the ache in her legs and the fact that her body parts were turning numb; Arya continued jogging round the fire while wiping the tears in her eyes. She would be lying if she said she understood everything, what was going on. She didn’t one bit but

    The woman ran; as fast as she could but the faster she ran, the closer the wolves came. Her legs were bloodied and bruised; her hair was a tangled mess and her face had a slash across it and blood trickled down her forehead all the way down to her cheeks and to her neck. But none of these were her worries or posed any source of concern to her; her source of concern was disappearing from the face of the world at that very moment. She needed to shake off the wolves else she would die, she and her baby.She continued running and froze as she looked toward to find another set of wolves already waiting for her while baring their fangs. Her face contorted in horror and she yelled.Arya jumped up from sleep looking around while panting heavily, Eileen walked into the room immediately and upon seeing Arya looking everywhere like a lost fellow, she quickly dropped the cup of water in her hands on the table while rushing to Arya’s side and rubbing her back.“You are fine, it was just a dream”

    “What do you think she’s doing now? Is she even in there? Did you check and verify well?”“Why can’t I scent her?” Alston rambled out to Zachariah.“I checked well, she was in the house last I saw her.” Zachariah retorted, stretching his neck as they peeked into the window.“Then why is she not in here?” Alston cocked his brows at Zachariah.A sigh escaped Zachariah lips as he glanced through the room window, she was really not there.“You can’t even do one thing right. What’s the difference between you and those rogues?” Alston growled out angrily before walking away from the window.He was drawn to her, something that baffled him and he was yet to understand. Ever since he has seen her on that field and while she was standing in front of this same window, there was something about her that just wanted him to always be with her. He couldn’t say if it was the mate bond or anything else, but he was drawn to her.“Maybe she went to school today.” Zachariah chided in again.Alston clench

    “Did I ask you for any of your opinions?” Alston replied with furrowed brows before walking out on Zachariah.Zachariah sighed helplessly as he watched him move out, wondering when they’ll return to the pack. To be candid, he was already tired of the human world and their sense of reasoning. All he wanted now was to run away back to his pack, and stay in the small house with his alpha, not watch over a little girl who seemed like she couldn’t even hurt a fly.************Arya got out of school with her shoulders slumped. She had put her EarPod in her ear even before she got out. Right now, she doesn't even want to speak to anyone, she just wants to be by herself and wrap her head about everything that’s going on. Maybe find a sheet of paper and start profiling everyone down.She hurried into the bus and found a corner with a window to seat down, her eyes staring outside the window.“Arya…” Eileen said, jolting her out of her thoughts.“Don’t scare me like that again.” Arya retorted

    After making rounds and checking everywhere of the pack, Arya's mind was at ease at how she was welcomed amidst them all. She smiled to herself as she laid back on the bed, thinking about the little kids she saw and how happy they were when they saw Alston.Once she thought a world like this never existed, until the world turned out to be hers and she kept on enjoying it. She smiled in her pajamas, rolling back and forth with a lot of thoughts going on in her head.“Arya…. I’m ready.” Alston called out as he walked out of the bathroom.They were going to her house to pack her clothes, if not, she would soon be walking naked in the pack.“You know, I can just keep on wearing your clothes, we don’t have to do this.” Arya called out.“We’ll, we have to. The way you’re stealing my clothes is now quite alarming.” He replied to her, rolling his eyes at her as he walked out of the room.Arya fumbled out of the bed, muttering some incoherent words to herself as she stomped her foot on the flo

    “Aren’t you ready?” Alston called out for the umpteenth time.After proposing to Arya and alerting the whole pack about it. Arya had begged him to release the elders since they didn’t know anything about it but not after giving them an earful of instructions. The priestess that were involved in mapping out her mothers death were demoted, stripping them off their titles and making them ordinary maids of the pack while the others were also released.Mrs jenkins and mr jenkins moved back to the human world. Mrs Jenkins was never a fan of being confined to a single pack, and so left immediately after giving Alston a handful of instructions.Alston wanted to take Arya through the pack, show her every nook and cranny of it and yet she was taking the whole day to dress up, or the maids were doing so.“I’m done.” He heard her say as he turned his back to look at her.His eyes roamed her body, his wolf growling underneath him as he begged to rip that dress off her. Even though he proposed and

    Arya and Camilla walked a lot of miles through the pack, things were still bubbly, probably because they just left the square not too long ago, Camilla said. Taking her to different places in the pack, and showing her different things of their pack, Arya enjoyed the walk that she didn’t want to leave, and yet her sole purpose of walking still became a void in her heart.By the time they returned home, everywhere was dark already, and eerily silent.“The alpha asked you to sleep in his room, I’ll lead you there.” Camilla said, bowing as she walked in front.Arya smiled to herself, following her gently and quietly as they arrived at the front of a big room.“Good night, your highness.” She said, walking away fast as she could before Arya could even say anything.Arya shrugged her shoulders as she opened the room, her eyes dazed at the sight in front of her. She smiled at the thought of the flowers Alston brought to her the other day, so he was a keeper of flowers himself.“He must have

    After his parents death, he never gave up on finding the real killer, having a whole lot of things to do to them and has mapped out for them, and now finding who they are, his head was nothing but a blank page, filled with hurt and emptiness.“Throw her in the fire! Throw her in the fire!” The people of the pack yelled out, making him clench his jaw.They never did the fire killing, they never killed people with fire in the pack. But since they found it as a nice option to kill his mate, he had helped them, while they had to take the first death, it has become something he was going to take up.“Your highness, please, please. Do not do this! This isn’t a wise choice.”She pleaded on top of her voice, tears dropping down her face and falling like the ocean.“Please. Please!”She continued to plead.Alston signaled to the guards,‘matching forward as they dragged her towards the fire, her wails and screams echoing through the area.

    The guards pulled each and every of the priestesses and elders out, not minding the way they handled them because that was the instruction the alpha had given them, bringing them out without caring whatsoever. It was Zachariah and one other guard that matched to where ashlynn was placed and brought her out.The bell had been rung for all the pack to know that there was an emergency already, all of them hurrying towards the square and forming a circle, waiting for anything that was to come.The elders and priestess were thrown in the middle of the circle as they brought them out one after the other. Alston appeared after a while, he had sent a guard to Mrs jenkins and mr jenkins, asking them to come to the square if they could come but also not leaving Arya alone in the house.“The reason why we called this meeting here is because the real perpetrator has been caught and now we can all fully rest and be fully aware that my mate is not the child of prophecy. And everything you’ve been t

    “Where’s.. wheres.. the alpha.. I.. I..need..” the priestess stuttered, mustering all her energy to say the words that came out of her mouth.“I’ll advise you to save the energy for when he gets back and rest well now. A whole lot of things are happening in this pack that we don’t know yet.” The pack doctor replied, walking away from her as he rolled his eyes.The priestess raised her hand, trying to call him back but he was long gone.•••••••••Zachariah continued to delve into the forest, following the scent of Alston he had for himself to trace him. His pace increased as he felt himself closing in on him, not minding the paths he passed through as he kept jumping on each of the branches.He saw Alston wolf from afar, standing all alone and lonely at the poisoned river. He reduced his pace, walking to him slowly with fear thumping on his heart.“Your highness.” He called out as he shifted to his human form.Alston did not bother to reply to him even though he heard him, staring deep

    “Don’t you want to know about it? What you’ve always wanted to know all this while? Don’t you want to know about it now?” Sabrina questioned with a smirk at the corner of her lips.Alston clenched his jaw as he stared at her, wondering if he should believe her or not. His eyes focusing on her at the same time with gritted teeth,“And what would you know about it? Except you’re the killer, which I for some reason, won’t believe you.” Alston said, scanning her and every of her reactions.“You have so much faith in me, your highness.” Sabrina retorted with a small smile.“I was the one who poisoned them, not because I wished to, but because they deserved it.” She added, falling back to her butt as Alston stood there, shock evident on his face as he stared at her.All this while, all this time, he had known his parents death wasn’t natural and someone had to be behind it, almost saying it with the priestess when the killer was right amongst them, sitting there and acting as their leader.

    “Miss me?” Samantha asked with a growl as she walked down to meet Alston.“Find Zachariah and you’ll find Alston. I have more pending matters to deal with now.” He added.Two guards dragged ashlynn towards him as he scanned the crowd.He looked at the floor for the stabbed priestess but she has been dragged away already. All he could hope for was that nothing should happen to her.“Throw her into the deepest cell. The deepest cell where nothing can work, either her claws or powers. We’ll await the recovery of the other priestess to know what’s happening.” He said to the guards.“And I want each and every of the elders thrown into the cell, each and every of the priestess thrown into the cell.” He added as he stormed away.He walked yo where his mother was seated on, looking as brutally beaten than he could ever imagine.

    “And to what do we owe this honor our honorable alpha that leaves his pack for almost a week and is coming back now?” Sabrina asked as she approached him.Alston eyed her before walking to where Arya was placed, noticing she had fainted out of what they’ve done to her as a growl slipped his mouth. All of them whined slowly, bowing down to him till when he stopped growling.“Who did this!” He yelled out.When no one answered, all of them looked at each other without saying anything. He clenched his jaw, gritting his teeth as he tried to bolt his anger in him.“I said, who did this!” He growled out again.“I did it your highness, and the elders were in support of it. She walked..”“And who gave you the permission to do that! The beta! My mother or who!” He growled out again.Sabrina gulped down in fear, taking some steps back away from Alston who kept on approaching her.“All the priestesses and elders would be punished greatly for this!” He shouted at all of their hearings.“And you ha
