Chapter 77: Proceed with Caution

Waverly blinked her eyes. It was just an illusion—fake. Nothing about it was real. Only, when she kept blinking and the figure remained, she was less and less able to convince herself.

Pietro stood still, but fear consumed his eyes. "You need to stop him." His voice was dark and husk, and Waverly sat frozen in her spot, completely paralyzed. "You can't let him go."

Waverly's mouth was dry, and it took all her strength to find some piece of her voice. "I—P—Pietro…? You're not—you're not real. You're…dead."

Pietro continued as if he had not heard her. "He can't go down there—Sawyer, if he goes, he will confront great danger."

At this, Waverly's reflexes clicked in, and it was like her entire body broke free of the chains of fear and switched into gear. "Danger? What kind of danger?"

"A danger so great, it will place all at risk. But only you can stop it. You hold the power to end it all."

"End all of what?!" Waverly said, pushing for answers. "Who killed you? What happened? Pi

    For the next day or two, Waverly was unable to shake the image of Pietro from her mind. Everywhere she went, she thought of him standing in the corner, soaking wet, with unprecedented fear making up his distorted features. She wanted to warn Sawyer and tell him everything she could, but with all that had been happening lately, along with her illness and potential hallucinations, she wasn't sure he would entirely believe her. H*ll, she wasn't even sure she believed herself—but there was no way she could take that risk. What if he was truly in some sort of danger? She had to find some way to make him trust her: the only problem was, how? Waverly walked hand in hand with Sawyer down the path towards town: half for strength support, and half for comfort. She observed the trees which were changing from green to red and yellow as the start of fall began to kick in. Her loose, long sleeved maroon shirt draped down her torso, absolutely covering any hint of a bump."Are you nervous?" she

    Sawyer's grip tightened around Waverly as she concealed her face into his body, muffling the sound of her tears to not disturb the celebration. "Here, let's go outside, alright?" Waverly nodded into his chest, still covering her face. Darren looked to Sawyer, questioningly, to which Sawyer bowed his head to assure him that all was okay before following Waverly out of the restaurant. Once the door shut and they were hidden by the wall of the storefront, Waverly faced Sawyer. Tears had smeared her mascara and her nose was beat red, standing out from her skin. Sawyer reached out a hand for hers and rubbed it. "What happened?" Waverly sniffed. She couldn't find the words. All she could think of was what Finn had said: "They don't know if he'll make it." She knew the risks of being an Alpha, but she never imagined in a million years that her father would face the consequences of his position. He was the strongest Alpha she knew, next to Sawyer. If anyone could handle himself in a

    Waverly descended the staircase after an hour, making her way into the kitchen. The house was silent, besides the sound of the fridge door closing. As she rounded the corner, she saw Sawyer standing behind the island, alone. "Where is everyone?" she asked, somewhat disoriented. Her eyes were reddened, and she sniffled after she spoke. "Outside," Sawyer answered promptly, not providing further information. "Are you alright?"Waverly shrugged and laughed a little as she sat on the bar stool at the island. "Are any of us okay these days?"Sawyer opened the pack of pasta in his hand and put it in the pot of boiling water. "I meant with your own health, Waverly," he said rather seriously. He turned the dial down on the stovetop and faced her, slinging the cloth over his shoulder. "You weren't well to begin with, and this added stress could make matters worse. I'm surprised no one has said anything.""They have dad to worry about—knowing Finn, he probably is absorbed possibly becoming

    Most of Waverly's evenings and days for the following few weeks were entirely filled with concern for her father and his well-being. As a way to maintain order within Lycan pack during this time, Waverly, Sawyer, and the rest of their family took turns at his bedside, ensuring he had everything he needed for the day, while also helping him with daily tasks. Waverly's father sat up in his bed, the most he had been able to do independently since her arrival. Finn was seated in the chair beside him, looking over documents that needed the Alpha's approval. Waverly listened, but with each day that passed, she became more nervous about the prophecy at hand. "So, I moved this here and then allocated the funds in this way. Then I figured if we—"Waverly's father raised a hand to push the paper away from Finn's gaze. "I trust you," he said weakly. Finn put the papers down. "How are you feeling today?"Their father strained as he moved himself up on the bed. "Like a pile of cr*p." He le

    "Ascension!?" Isadore practically yelled. "What ascension? Dad is still in power—last time I checked, he was still alive!" "When did you check last?" Finn said, nonchalantly, prompting another hit from Sawyer. "How are you so calm and relaxed?" Waverly asked.Finn looked up at her from his nails. "I've been training for this for as long as I can remember. We knew it was bound to happen one day.""But what about dad?" Isadore continued to poke. "It's unheard of to ascend when the Alpha is alive.""It's rare, yes. But not entirely uncommon," Aviana began. "Your father wishes to move forward with Finn's ascension, regardless of the matter. If it is a sound of mind choice, then there is no law against it." She was right. An Alpha didn't always need to pass away for the next-in-line to assume the position, If an Alpha decided to give up his title, then it could be done—as long as the pack always had a leader. Waverly watched Finn, who was stoic and hard to read. His eyes flickere

    As night replaced day, Lycan pack continued their celebrations in front of Waverly's family home. A fire pit was lit in the action and groups gathered in different areas of the lawn, chattering about past, present and future events. Waverly stood in a circle, chatting with Sawyer, Isadore, and Finn when Drake approached them."Finn, my boy," he said as he came up behind him and patted him on the back. He clinked his beer can against Finn's. "Congratulations! How are you feeling?" Finn smirked and nodded, looking at his hand, which was wrapped tightly in gauze. "I'll be better once this hand heals," he replied, stretching his fingers in and out.Drake laughed. "Of course ya will. I remember when your father ascended and got his scar. It'll heal soon, don't you worry." Finn looked to Drake and smiled. "How's Micah's training going?""Great!" Drake stated, taking a sip of his drink. "He'll be a great Beta for you, once it's my time to step down." "And what about Bryce?" Isadore a

    "Cursed?!" Waverly repeated. Her hands trembled and she felt like she was living a nightmare. There was no way this was happening again."What are you talking about?" Sawyer asked. His hand was resting on his lap, and he leaned forward, listening intensely to what Harold had to say. "When I was a kid, there was a myth—more like an urban legend—about the siren of the lake." Harold's eyes were wide, and his gaze was focused on Waverly. The fire light illuminated one side of his face."We didn't know much about her…everything was kept secret. All that we knew was men would go into the Wandering Forest and never return. Those who did came back telling tales of their encounter with the siren; a mermaid who resided on in the eastern river and sang a sweet tune, luring men towards her where she would then ensnare them in her grasp and kill them." Waverly jumped in her spot and Sawyer reached out an arm to calm her. Harold grabbed a stick and poked at the fire, which was dimming. "It i

    That night, Waverly dreamt of the woman. Her figure was clear and crisp, but all around her was a dark outline. The way she held herself was proud and tall; her aura was pure confidence. She smiled slyly and then looked to her right. Beside her was a forest and through the gap of the trees, Waverly could only see the outline of the wolf's mouth and teeth as it snarled. Waverly sat up in bed; sweat rolled down her face and her heart thudded against her chest. Sawyer's hand touched her back and he rubbed it gently. He squinted and yawned as he pulled himself up into a sitting position."Everything alright?" he asked. His voice was hoarse and deep. Waverly took a few breaths to slow her heartrate and gradually nodded. "Yeah, I—I think so, just a nightmare." "Of what?" Sawyer queried further. "Lee, I know you won't be able to sleep until you talk about it." She knew he was right. Waverly stared ahead at the black emptiness that was past the foot of their bed. "It was the woman.

    Waverly stared down at Christopher's motionless body. It was over—all of it. She turned to Sawyer, who was now in human form, and was standing over Christopher. He was breathing heavily and held his chest wound with his hand, but with his other free hand, closed Christopher's eyes and whispered: "Until we meet again." He then backed away from the body and turned to his pack, who were watching the moment unfold. "Alright. Everyone who is able, let's get the injured inside to entry and cared for. Then, we can go from there."The pack all bowed their heads at the same time and began helping one another up, one at a time, carrying any wounded individuals indoors. Waverly put her arm underneath Sawyer's and used her body to support his weight, aiding him in walking back to the house. Once inside, she set him down on a chair and grabbed the first aid kit out of the living room before beginning to address his wound. Sawyer flinched at the touch of the alcohol against the cut on his chest

    Waverly watched as the pack stepped out onto the gravel. To say the atmosphere was tense would've been an understatement: it was downright hostile. She stared as one by one, they transformed and launched themselves forward, starting the battle for Sawyer's life. Faintly in the background, she could hear Christopher screaming for his pack to ready themselves and not long after, the sound of snarling and bodies being thrown against the house began. She looked to her right to see Katia come up beside her, flash her a smirk, and then leapt out of the door, shifting in an instant. Waverly shrunk back into the house. What was she going to do? She couldn't fight as a human—she'd die. But she couldn't stay here either. Sawyer needed her; what kind of Luna would she be if she didn't defend her Alpha and her pack when they needed her the most? She took a deep breath and focused her energy on shifting, trying to feel herself transforming…And nothing. She shook it off and tried again, but on

    Waverly felt as though the world had been ripped out from under her. He was there, in the flesh; his gap teeth exposing themselves as he grinned. "Waverly?" Sawyer said questioningly. "What are you doing here?" His gaze flickered up to the cuts on her cheek and the dried blood trail on her face, prompting him to rush over to her and examine her. "What happened? Are you okay?" Instinctively, he reached for her stomach, but Waverly stopped him. "I'm alright," she replied. She then corrected herself. "We're alright." Sawyer's eyes widened and then he looked at her, intensely. "You—" Waverly nodded, and Sawyer hugged her tightly, beaming. "I'm so sorry I missed it—but your cuts…how?"Waverly looked to Christopher, who sat still, grinning mockingly. Her face hardened. "I ran into his friend." "What friend?" Christopher chuckled to himself, causing Sawyer to spring at him, taking a strong hold of his ripped and bloodied shirt. "What friend?!" he yelled in a deep, husk voice. "The

    Waverly closed her eyes the second she saw Felicity open her mouth, but because of her sharp senses, she could hear every single sound as Felicity finished the job. When she opened them again, Felicity had transformed back into her human formation, and was standing over the body of the siren. Not even a second later, Mia's frame changed back as well and in front of them, instead of a siren, laid a woman, who's blue eyes were glazed completely over. Felicity was still and her hands shook while she stared at the body; her eyes were wide and blood dripped from her mouth. "I—I didn't know what do to…I just…acted on instinct." "Well, your instinct was obviously correct. How did you know?""I—I didn't. I just thought…she was really annoying me." Waverly chuckled. She wasn't wrong; the siren did talk a lot.Felicity turned her gaze to Waverly and she looked at her, amazed. "Miss, your face…"Waverly wiped where her nosed was bleeding prior. "I know. I can feel it," she said, half-j

    It all happened so fast—everything was a blur as Waverly raced forward, attacking Mia with all the pent-up anger and aggression she had felt not only for herself, but Sawyer, Pietro, and Darren. They were behind it all: the burning of Tillbury's, Pietro's death…Darren. Her arms swung in front of her while she moved to deliver a blow. She knew it wouldn't kill her, but it might just be enough to wound her so she could buy more time. Except when she was inches from her target, Mia stepped to the side, causing Waverly to almost fall forward."Now come on, let's be a little realistic here. You just gave birth. Do you really think you can really take me on right now?" Waverly looked at her, breathlessly. She knew she had a very slim chance of succeeding, but she still had to try. If not for herself, for Sawyer and her son. She built up her strength and then, once again, leapt towards the siren, hoping to catch her off guard.But it was like she knew it was coming. Once again, Mia dodg

    Waverly held her baby tight to her chest while he continued to snore the night away. "You," she said in utter shock. "You're—" Mia laughed. "You still think you're hallucinating, huh? Well, let me ruin the suspense for you. Surprise, love. I'm here, flesh and bone." "H-how…? This place is remote…Sawyer said…""Sawyer said, Sawyer said. Listen here," Mia said as she walked towards Waverly; her heels clicking against the flooring. "We need to have a small girl-to-girl chat. This reliance on Sawyer is tiresome. You need to be independent and stand up for yourself." "Is that why you kill the men you enchant?" Waverly asked, forcing the strength to rise from the pit of her stomach to show some sort of dominance. "Precisely," Mia stated enthusiastically, pointing a finger in Waverly's direction. "I'm glad you've finally heard about me." "I've heard more than enough," Waverly retorted, cradling her son closer as Mia approached. "Is that the baby—?" she asked, narrowing her eyes

    "What?!" Waverly shouted. Having her baby—now?! No, no way this was happening. This had to be a dream. Only when a long-lasting pain pushed through, she knew it wasn't. "But how—" she said between broken breaths. "It's not time! I'm too early!" Felicity took a deep breath and centered herself. She knew Waverly wasn't wrong. "Unfortunately, it is time, miss. But thank goodness you're a wolf and the baby's large enough to survive." Somehow, this didn't bring Waverly any comfort. A severe pang ripped at her insides, feeling as if it was tearing her apart. "Sawyer!" she suddenly shouted. "He's not—he's not here. I can't do this without him here!" "I'm sorry, miss, but you might have to if he isn't here within the next few minutes." "I—" Waverly's speech was instantly cut off by her shrieks. "I have to help you move," Felicity stated. "We need to get you to a flat surface and the bed is too high." She left the common area and emerged from the bedroom carrying two pillows. Felicity

    While the day trickled into night, Waverly became increasingly nervous. She sat folded up on the couch with a hot drink, checking out of the window every few seconds to see if she could get a glimpse of Sawyer as he returned home. The cup clinked against her nails as she moved for the third time, but when she didn't see his silhouette, she slunk back down. "He'll be here soon, miss," Felicity stated as she continued washing the dishes from their late-night dinner. "I'm sure he just got tied up helping Katia with some things. It's her first time running the institute, you know." Waverly looked to her. "Really? I thought with her experience, she would've taken over when Sawyer was…cursed." The longer she waited, the more distasteful the word was in her mouth. "With her personality, it comes off that way, doesn't it? But no. Mr. Sawyer put in a lot of the work while she delivered messages. Speaking of, have you tried calling him?""Twice. It's just going to voicemail," Waverly repl

    "Welcome home, brother," Christopher said manically. Sawyer treaded forward and Christopher instantly moved the knife by Katia's throat. "Don't," he said sternly, changing from friendly to cold in an instant. Sawyer halted and looked to Katia. Her makeup was running from the tears that she had shed, but she showed no fear. He glanced around the house for any sign of help, but no one was coming."Don't bother looking for anyone—they're all…a little unconscious.""What are you doing here?" Sawyer sneered, baring his teeth. It was taking everything within him to not attack. "Can't a man come visit his long-lost best friend? It's been what—a year now? Wow, time does fly, doesn't it?" Christopher grinned and his gap teeth revealed themselves. A chill went through Sawyer. This wasn't the same Christopher he had known his entire life, or the same Christopher that he had banished last year. This man was entirely different and more sinister. His usually neat curls were more wild an
