Selena's POV

I could sense the young healer's wonder, her amazement at the power that lay within me. But I didn't have time to think about that now.

I squatted close to another dead guard, repeating the same process of placing my hand on his chest and shutting my eyes to draw a possible connection.

He was dead, and his wolf dead too.

"Selena," I heard a voice call from behind. I turned around to see Zane staring deeply into my eyes, lines of worry on his face.

"What's wrong Zane," I asked in a whisper, taking steps towards him in anxiety.

He said nothing at first, only placing letter on my hand.

I glanced through it and struck a horrifying glance back at him. "Who could have done this?"

"How long would it take to heal a good number of warrior?" Zane asked, his hands placed on his waste as he took gentle steps towards the guard I had confirmed dead.

"Are you kidding me?" I asked,my eyes dilated. "It would take the whole night to administer to them all."

" So what then are we to do huh?

    Karen's POV"He wishes not to see anyone," the guard standing post at the large gates to Rowan's packhouse informed, his face up and forward.The night was cold, and I badly wanted to to feel the warmth of an enclosure."This surely isn't how to treat a friend to the Alpha," I said gently, leaning to his ears and adding. " You could be killed for this you know."He scoffed. "Rowan's instructions were clear. I shouldn't... "I quickly interjected him, aiming at his neck and with one strike I brought him down. He wasn't given the chance to scream, as he fell with a gentle thud.At that very moment it started to rain, and I needed shelter more than ever.With the keys in his pocket. I opened the gates and walked it, my claws extended and my fangs sharp as ever in readiness for the attacks by other guards.And they came."Halt!!" one of the guards commanded. "Surrender this moment!!" he added.I halted, raising my hands up as the sound of rain and the terrible wind that followed made my w

    Karen's POV"What's with the fight, my dear friend," Rowan asked in between puffs of smoke from the pipe." I needed to see you," I replied, attempting to take steps towards him. "But they, they tried to stop me."He gave a witty smile, getting to his feet and walking towards me. "Is that so Karen? And the price they had to pay?""They paid in full with their lives!! " I replied in a loud voice, and he was already close to me, only inches away.He lowered his voice in a whisper. "So what brings you to my presence dear one?"My eyes were locked with his initially, but then I stole a quick glance at the elders who cared so less about what we spoke about. "In their presence Rowan?" I asked him in a whisper, locking eyes with him again. The smoke from the pipe had clouded his face, and for a brief instant it looked more like he was a mysterious figure that had all the answers I seek."You mean these elders?" he asked, releasing more puffs of smoke and giving out a loud laugh. "Of course

    Selena's POVThe night was fast getting thick and so far we had healed as much as a dozen warriors.Just a dozen.Zane was getting depressed, and i could feel the weight of his anxiety.Walking up to him,I placing a hand on his troubled shoulders."What's the update Selena?" he asked, resting his hands on the balcony."We're progressing Zane, believe me when I say.... ""What's the update Selena," he asked again, his voice low and dry.I took in a long breath. "A dozen warriors Zane. But with time we'd make more progress."He said nothing, his gaze lost in the space before him. "Don't give much thoughts on this Zane. We'd fight to defend our pack with all we've got and we'd win!! " I added with a tinge of encouragement that just seemed false."Father ruled this pack with pride, bringing even the angered werewolves all around under one head, and he passed it down to me with hopes that I'd take off from where he stopped.

    Selena's POVI quickly approached her, speaking softly to calm her down. She nickered softly, and I quickly saddled her up, preparing to leave.As I mounted the mare, I felt a sense of determination wash over me. I was going to complete my mission, no matter what. I was going to ride to Mysticshadow pack, gather as many warriors as I could, and then return to Delta pack to help Zane defend against Karen's attack.With a fierce cry, I urged the mare forward, and we thundered out of the stable, into the night.Galloping along the forest path, my mind reeled on recent events.Karen had indeed proven to Zane that she would go any length at bringing down the old moonstone pack along with him and all he loved. She alerted the deadliest of packs that moonstone pack was defenceless, hoping that bring us down with that.But no, I wouldn't let her. She'd crossed the line with this one.My mind travelled further, thinking real hard on how I'd bring her down, together with her terrible alliance w

I asked, squatting beside her and paying a dead ear to her earlier complaint."I've found his pulse Alpha," she said in a whisper, placing her hand on the guard's wrist and shutting her eyes slowly. "His wolf is fully alive!!""So?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows as I stared at her. " What stops you then?"She looked down dejectedly, her face long. "We all have tried, but it just doesn't work!! It's a strange art of healing to trigger his wolf to charge a pulse in his heart. "I let out a breath, glancing at the guard and

    Zane's POVI took a step forward, my eyes burning with intensity. "We will not go quietly into the night. We will not roll over and surrender to our enemies. We will fight, with every ounce of strength we possess. We will fight for our pack, for our families, and for our very lives."The crowd erupted into a chorus of cheers and applause, their faces set with determination and their eyes burning with a fierce hunger for battle. I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and purpose wash over me.We would fight, and we would win. We would defend our pack, and our way of life. We would emerge victorious, or we would die trying.I was still filled with such encouragment and purposeful passion that I hadn't felt since I was a young child when a warrior from the borders ran up to one of the elders.I knew that something wasn't right, and as I waited for words to reach me, I looked up to the sky. My mind suddenly drifted to a distant past,very distant."You can tell it all by looking up in the nigh

All I could do was watch in horror as my pack, my friends, and my family were slaughtered before my very eyes.The flaming arrows seemed to come from everywhere, a relentless barrage of fire that seemed to never end. It was as if the very stars themselves were falling from the sky, each one a deadly missile aimed straight at our hearts.And I, Zane, was the only one who could stop it. But how? The question echoed through my mind, a desperate cry for help that seemed to go unanswered.I wished at that point that Selena would just walk in with her warriors.We desperately needed them.

    Selena’s POVAs we approached, the guards stationed at the gates of Mysticshadow Pack immediately tensed, their hands tightening around the weapons they held by their side. The lit torches hung on the wall flickered in the night, casting ominous shadows on their stern faces. I could see the hesitation in their eyes. They seemed like new guards as I didn't recognize them, but from their scent, I knew they were one of us.I knew they recognized me, but there was some underlying tension in their gazes as they stared at me. I knew something had happened since I had last stepped foot here.But they still knew better than make a move. “Halt!” one of them commanded, stepping forward, his claws half drawn. His sharp gaze scanned me from head to toe. “State your business.”“Are you dumb?” I muttered through clenched teeth as I walked towards the guard. “I came to gather alliances. The Moonstone Pack is under siege, and we must unite to stop the war.”The guard hesitated for a moment when he

"I pulled it from his hands and glanced through it before he finished."Meet me at the Crescent valley of blood or I'll expose you all!! You stole her powers Karen, now your wolf is insane. If you want to get back to your r former state, meet me there by dusk. Perhaps the healing power would return... just perhaps."I read it loud." The powers Karen, think about it!! We'd kill the bloody messenger as soon as we get what we want, and this all would end!!" Rowan exclaimed as soon as I dropped the letter." Then what about the attack? " I asked him. Something just didn't feel right about all this, and I couldn't point it out.Rowan scoffed, a cloud of desperation hovering around his eyes. "What damn attack Karen? With the healing powers back we would rule the werewolf world and beyond!!" he roared, his claws sh

    Karen's POVHaving been in Redmoon pack for five days, hunting and eating with them, I was beginning to feel sick of it all.I waited, day after day and night after night for news from the party of packs that attacked Moonstone pack, but nothing was coming forth."Battles take days, sometimes weeks," Rowan would always say. " Give them time Karen. Moonstone pack would be in our palms in just a matter of days, Selena dead!!"I always felt relieved whenever he talked about the death of Selena, but on the morning of the fifth day, I couldn't take it anymore."We need to get to them Rowan!! I can't stand this anymore," I said to him as soon as I got to his chamber.Still with his pipe, he turned his attention to me and puffed."Tell me Karen. What chance does Moonstone pack have to win the war waged against them?

Never must you attack anyone here in Redmoon pack, " the voice repeated, louder than the last. I was still trying to open my eyes but I felt a surge of confusion as I did so.The voice was familiar, and as I struggled to make out who it was, I finally looked up.It was Rowan. What was he up to this time, I wondered within me.His face was twisted in a snarl and as he raised his hand, my eyes dilated."You!!!" he started to roar as his hand descended towards me.As if in cue, my wolf stirred almost immediately and before his hand could get to me, I had already grabbed it in a quick reflex.Fully awake, I roared at him. "Don't you dare!!" I got up from what I figured out to be a bed and stared at him, wondering where all that came from.My

    Chapter 206The battlefield was filled with chaos. The entire place was filled with the cry of my men as they fell to the ground, bloodied, bruised and some dead. Growls and the sound of flesh being cut tore through the thick air and the scent of blood and churned earth filled the entire atmosphere. My gaze swept over the field, my claws withdrawn from my hands as I watched the rest of Rowan's deserters close in on us, large swords, axes and arrows by their side, the sharp metal gleaming in the weak light of dawn. That was why they seemed endless. They were just dying, but more were diverging from the war with Zane go come here. A low growl escaped my lips, my face squeezing into a deep frown as I jumped down from my horse. One of the warriors rode towards me, a bow and arrow in their hand. The arrow was shot towards me but I quickly grabbed it midair and threw it back at him. Before he could register what was happening, the sharp metal sunk into his head and he dropped down dead.

    Selena's POVBefore the sun had even begun to rise, I had already rounded up the warriors who had pledged to fight with me. The morning air held a stale scent that seemed fresh of combat and blood, a harsh reminder of the war that still laid ahead of us. I stood at the center of the packs training fields, and with me were the warriors—men and women who had previously been divided but now were with me. They had a mixture of determination and skepticism in their eyes. I knew there were those who still doubted, but I could not allow skepticism to take root among us."Mount your horses," I commanded, my voice firm. "We ride out now."They took their places, marching to the stables where our horses already waited saddled and prepared. I had ordered the stable lads to ensure that each horse was in prime order for the forthcoming long ride and they had toiled all through the night to do so. Fresh hay mixed with morning due, the sound of waiting hooves, and the sweat of warriors fastening
