Zane's POV

I turned to her immediately, my expression firm. "Karen!! We need to consider all options. We surely don't assume she's dead but we have to explore all options."

She looked up at me, more like to start up another argument, but I shot her an authoritative gaze, forcing her to bend her head low in submission.

"Continue please," I ordered the fishermen.

The fishermen nodded, their faces somber at the whole affair. She was a good Alpha to all, caring to a fault.

"We'll do our best Alpha Zane, and possibly cover the whole river to our side," the fisherman said, their faces somber.

As they set off, Karen turned to me, her eyes flashing with anger. "This is just ridiculous Zane. They're not going to find anything, and you know it. "

I turned to her, my expression cold. " We'd see about that Karen. Let's keep our hands crossed. Surely it's not my intentions that she'd be found in the river, for she'd be dead," I said. Looking deep into her eyes I saw a certain cloud there. What

    Zane's POV “Greeting Alpha Zane, I bring you news from the search team," a bass voice rang out from the other side. It was Lucas, the lead warrior. I let him in."Alpha Zane, the search party has returned, and we bring, " he paused, sensing the tension in me." Speak I say!!"He looked up into my face. " We found nothing, Alpha Zane. No trace of her."Clenching my fists, I felt a surge of frustration at the news. "Keep searching then. We've got to find her ..... dead or alive, " I said in a sober mood.I was beginning to see the reality of losing her forever, and I shivered at the thought. "I want every inch of the pack house and forest searched, in and out. Send emissaries to the neighbouring packs and beyond. She must be found!! " I ordered again, getting up to my feet. As they left, I paced back and forth my headquarters again, my heart still racing in fear.Suddenly, I heard a faint voice call out, "Zane, help me."It was Selena's voice and I turned around sharply. "Selena? "

    Karen's POVI stood just outside Selena's room, my mind reeling with anger and disgust. How could he have survived? I had made sure to push her into the river, and no one came to her rescue after that.I clenched my fists, and for the first time, I began to see Rowan as a snitch, yes!! For only him knew about the plot and the whereabouts of Selena.This just couldn't be happening. Everything was planned carefully, never for her to be found alive.As I stood rooted at Selena's door, I saw as healers trooped in and out, bowing curtly in greeting to me. I felt so angered, more like I should just grab their leader on the neck and zap life out of her.But no, I couldn't do that. It would certainly be so obvious. I felt a sudden pang of unease. What if Selena regained consciousness and related the whole affair to Zane. She might even kill me before doing so. That would be the end of my fight for his love. Surely he would believe her.Or would he?I shook my head in a rush in an attempt to

    Karen's POV"No, she's not lucky, she must die the next time!!" I stated, picking up a stone and throwing it to the river."Hmmm, perhaps she's not meant to die," he said, letting out a low whistle.I turned back sharply to face him, wondering where that came from. I saw the touch of sarcasm in his eyes, and I chuckled."Surely we've not come this far to give up now, do we?" He walked closer to me, picking up some pebbles too and throwing them into the river."So what's your plan?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.As on as he asked that I turned to face him. "I certainly have no idea, that's why I came to meet you."He scoffed, bending to pick more stones from the riverbank. He was very good at throwing pebbles to slide on the surface of the water, as it slid perfectly, some tipping five to six times before sinking."You have to do this. Your pack members and warriors are already getting familiar with Zane and if care is not taken he might usurp... ""Enough!!! Never to sa

    Karen's POVA wave of shock washed over me. Her eyes were wide open, as she stared at me in blankness. "Zane.... I...." I stammered, my mind engulfed with fear. I thought she had revealed anything to him, and I was prepared to defend myself, even with my powers it necessary.The room was bathed in a warm, golden light, and for a moment I thought I just stumbled into one of those awful dreams of mine.Selena's eyes met mine, and I thought I saw a sharp flicker of recognition travel by, but I waved it off."Karen," she called softly, further heightening my confusion.She just called my name!! "Hi Se...lena," I replied in a stammer, my palm running greasy. What was going on!! "It's so good to see you, to be alive," she added, her voice soft and weak but full of warmth."She's been awake for a while now," Zane whispered, still staring at her. " It's good to finally see her awake Karen."My face flushed, both with surprise and with an inner sense of relief.Were they playing games with

    Karen's POVI just stood there, pretending to be concerned about Selena's current situation. I couldn't surpress the sense of satisfaction that I felt, but I just needed too. It would certainly destroy all my plans.I knew I needed to keep up with the charade, to act like I care about her, but I couldn't keep up with it. It was just getting harder and harder to do."I should go," I said, mustering all the sense sincerity I could. "I'm sure you two need some time alone."Selena nodded, smiling up to me. " How was the mating ceremony?" she asked again, attempting to raise her head to me."I'll tell you about that later Selena, do take your rest," I replied, forcing a smile to my face and rubbing her face gently. "She'd be fine, I assure you," I whispered to Zane.As I turned to leave, Zane caught my eyes, and for a flicker of a moment, we just stared at each other. I understood perfectly what the message he was trying to pass. He seemed to be warning me, telling me to stay away from Sel

    Selena's POVI slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in the surroundings. The room was quiet, just too quiet, except for the slow breathing of someone sitting beside me. He just sat there, a deep concern etched on his face. His eyes were strangely piercing blue, or perhaps I lost memory of the colour of his eyes? "Selena, you're awake," he whispered, planting a kiss on my neck. The he rose his head up again, furrowing his eyebrows, and his jaw set in a thin firm line."You still don't remember much," he said in a cool and heartbroken tone. I looked up at him, tears brimming in my eyes. But I could still make out his mussed dark hair. It was as if he has been running his hand on it repeatedly, his skin pale and his face gloomy.Despite his tired and sorrowful appearance, he still radiated a sense of comfort and reassurance as he looked at me.Raising my hand gently, I placed it on his face."My dear Zane," I said almost in a whisper. "How can I forget your gentle touch, your kindne

    Selena's POVI watched keenly as Elara took the food from Karen's hand, her eyes scanning Karen and the food with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity.What was going on? Why the suspicious stare and all? I tried hard to recall if Karen had done anything to hurt me in the past, but no, I just couldn't. She was just as good as she appeared to be.Thorne, the other healer also stood beside Karen, staring at the food with an equal amount it scrutiny."I'm just not sure this is a good idea," Elara began to say, her eyes fixed on Zane. " We just didn't approve of this meal for her and we're afraid it's.... "" You're afraid what!!! That I poisoned it, is that it?" Karen yelled, her face red."Just shut it Karen!!" Zane retorted "You've heard it from the healers themselves. Selena can't take this, at least not for now!"As I watched this all unfold, I was beginning to have this growing unease. Something just didn't feel right with their attitude towards her. Why so mean?Just at the peak of

    Selena's POVAs I finished the meal, Karen's excitation reached a fever peak. "Yes... yes...yes..." she whispered, her eyes wide and still rubbing her palms as a gesture of her excitement.Still watching her with a mixture of confusion and curiosity, I handed the tray back to the healer."Thanks again Karen," I said. "I'll forever be indebted. "" Yes indeed Selena, you will be, " she whispered loosely, getting hold of herself almost immediately and adding. "I mean.... there's not much of a problem Selena. All for you."Her behavior was beginning to unnerve me greatly, and I almost began to regret taking the food. Her strange actions were all too bizare.Her face beamed with smile once more as she took the tray from the healers and turned to leave. I felt glad to see her go.I relaxed back on the bed, and just as I was starting to relax,I heard the sound of familiar footsteps towards the room from outside.Zane walked in, his eyes scanning the room again before coming to me.

    Selena's POVStill watching Karen, I noticed as her hands began to move in an intricate pattern. I looked around me, the packmembers also caught in surprise as I was."What's going on here. Karen?" I called. Karen had been so good to me since we returned to this pack, providing my meal morning and evening, and oh, she was a great chef.But not a healer?Without raising her head to acknowledge my presence or voice, she waved her hand. "Don't let her come close," she whispered, her face and body fully concentrated on the lad before her.I watched her in awe, my mouth fully agape. What was truly going on? Or was she a healer, and I just couldn't remember? No, not likely, for she would have mentioned it during the numerous times she had served me.I felt I needed to know more, the lad shouldn't die, and if Karen wasn't truly a healer as she acted, he'd surely die!!I stormed forward, trying to pass through the thick wall formed by the pack members, but I felt a strong weight on my shoulde

    Selena's POVI followed the packmembers as they carried the werewolf on the stretcher, a sense of desperation feeling me. I just had to remember something, anything about my past as a healer. The lad shouldn't just die."He'll be fine," I heard the male werewolf tell the mother of the sick one in a whisper. "The Seer still has something up her sleeves," he added.A pang of guilt that I just couldn't imagine creeped into my heart, forcing me to stumble as I followed the packmembers to the packhouse. "No, you've got this Selena," I whispered to myself, closing my eyes and breathing deeply at a spot. The packmembers behind me stood still for a while, only to continue trudging forward without interrupting my thought process.I recalled snippets of conversations, fleeting images of warriors and places, and also Rowan. He was just there, standing still with a sort of wand in his hand."Selena," he whispered. "You're not getting your powers back, and you know it."I shook my head violently

    Selena's POVAs I walked towards the werewolf, I tried hard to maintain my footsteps, trying hard not to stumble in pressure, but my legs betrayed me, as I almost fell down as I moved, my legs wobbling."Are you alright dear Seer?" the male werewolf asked, making it definitely the second time he was asking the question.I turned back, smiling at him and forging on. It would surely be a mockery to my face if I failed to heal the lad, and this time a larger group of werewolves would turn to ask me if I was okay.I thought steadfastly about the mother's tears and the uncle's great expectations that the young werewolf would come back to us former state. The burdens of their hopes and expectations grew to be a burden on my shoulders.As I reached them young werewolf's side, I swallowed hard. Gazing down at his face, his pale and gaunt face, my heart went out for him. His skim was damp, his eyes sunken. I noticed his chest rise and fall with shallow, laboured breaths, making me to feel a

    Selena's POVWe walked on, the female werewolf not saying a word, her eyes fixed on some point ahead.I heard the low murmuring of pack members behind me as we forged on, a cold shiver running down my spine. I could sense their anxiety, their desperation. They felt they were losing the great seer that they once knew and hoped on, and I felt their pain.We eventually reached the front of a small, rustic enclave where she dwelled, and instinctively, the pack members stopped outside as she pushed open the wedge she kept."May the good goddess be with you," a female pack member who helped her remove the wedge whispered to her ear, taking steps backwards. I swallowed at this, trying all the best all I could to reconnect to the healing powers they claimed I possessed which I knew I didn't.But I felt nothing, and it only added to my unease. I would fail them all the put their trust in me.The werewolf took steps inside, and I hesitated, staring into the dimly lit room."You could come in S

    Selena's POVI walked around the packhouse, my feet seeming to be taking strides of it's own as I struggled to keep my mind up. Every turn seemed familiar, yet distant.Zane told me earlier that I spent a great part of my years as a seer in this pack, healing packmembers and venturing with the warriors into wars, but all that seemed far away as I found it tough to recall even the most seemingly common butler or room keeper."With time you'd recall them all," Zane had said to me earlier and I believed him, but the more I walked around the more it seemed all too distant. I took a step out of the pack house and into the pack surrounding, the packmembers flooding towards me in different groups."Long live the great seer, bless you Seer, here comes the Seer who saved my life by healing me," I heard from the different groups as they ran towards me.I smiled at them, nodding to their various greetings, bit deep within me it all felt like a dream, where everything was all fuzzy.

    Karen's P.O.VI bursted into the throne room, my heart beating hard against my ribs as the scene back at the forest kept on replaying in my head. I took in deep breaths as I felt like my lungs were about to fail me. I tried to breathe in but I did so too fast and ended up choking. I tried to compose myself, but what met my eyes blew away my last remnant of restraint.A shirt gasp escaped my lips as I froze in place. Selena and Zane.Not only had they left me behind in MysticShadow Pack, but they were also entangled with each other, right here in the sacred throne room!'No. this can't be happening,' I thought to myself as different thoughts raced through my mind. "Selena!! Zane!!" I roared as my voice echoed off the grand marble walls. "What the hell is going on here?!" They were wrapped in a passionate embrace, with Selena's fingers dancing around the locks of Zane's hair, while his hands clasped her around the waist as though wanting to never let go. They shared a passionate kiss

    Selena's POVI sat on the throne reserved for the Luna of the pack, the long hair that was prepared for me cascading down my back like a river of sunset dues.Sitting just beside me was my heart throb, Alpha Zane, the grand and prosperous Alpha of Moonstone pack. He was all there could ever be to me, my epitome of strength and grace.His presence commanded power and strength all around, and I couldn't help but steal glances at him. His piercing blue eyes seemed to see right through everything he set his gaze on, and it sparkled with a sense of amusement that sent calm chills through all those he spoke with.I watched as his chiseled features were set in a calm and serene expression. But deep down I knew that beneath that tranquil surface lay a depth of emotion, a sort of passion that only I was lucky enough to experience.Seeming noticing my continuous stare at him, he sharply turned to me, a smile growing on his face.As I continued to gaze at him, I felt my heart swell in admiration

    Karen's POVI couldn't surpress the anger and defiance I felt at the strange warrior's words. How dare him prophesy doom to my face? Who was he to tell my about my desires for lust and power? Only I knew what I wanted, and how I'd go far I'd go to get it."Your warnings and prophesies are not needed here," I blasted at him, my voice low and venomous. "I alone understand how it feels to see the one I love so dearly being snatched away from my hands by a mere.... werewolf. "The strange warrior laughed hard at this, raising his head up and shaking quite violently."She's the Chosen one, Karen. You can't do anything against her that won't return back to you," he said after the fit of laughter." You have no authority to prophesy doom to me, the one with the healing powers!! " I roared, taking steps towards him in rage.He stood still, his eyes till locked with mine. "You're blinded by your selfish ambition," he continued, his voice quite low and gravelly.I laughed at this, a cold and

    Karen's POVZane's eyes locked into mine with a sudden look of seriousness. "Selena a needs to get to the Aeges stone as soon as possible. It's the only source of her recuperation, and you know that. "I felt a surge of confusion as I stole a glance at Selena. How would this affect my already laid out plan? There was no time to think."I'll come with you all then," I finally heard myself say. "We'll all go together, and I'll stand by your side."Selena beamed with smile as I said this, and I couldn't help but wish that I could just pierce her neck and end her at that point.She walked up to me. "Elara," she called, her eyes filled with all sense of gratitude.I stole a glance immediately at Zane, and then stared back at Selena. "I'm not Elara. I'm Karen," I replied in correction."Oh, I've been mixing up names lately," she replied, tapping her forehead gently. " Thanks for your offer, but we'll be fine.""No Selena. I love you dearly and I'm willing to take it all up on myself to see
