Now that Felix was fine, Mercedes felt concerned about the pack members who were injured in the altercation with Drakoen. Now that she knows the power her blood holds, she couldn't just use it to her benefit. She had to help everyone who was hurt because she felt responsible for what happened to them. Drakoen hurt them because of her. It made her heart ache that because of her, everyone she loves and cares about will always be in danger as long as Drakoen lives. " Alexa, I have a question," Mercedes announces catching everyone's attention. " Yes. What is it?" Alexa asks. " Since we found out that my blood can heal, I wanted to know if there are any limits." Alexa looked at her in confusion. " What do you want to do?" " I want to go out and help heal all the injured pack members. It's the least I can do for them," she replied with her voice full of sorrow. Felix grabbed her hand and squeezed it. " It's not your fault my love. It's so thoughtful of you to want to heal them
For days, Mercedes was on foot trying to put distance between her and her old town. Every minute and every second counted. She wondered if anyone found out about what happened a few nights ago. If anyone came upon the horrendous scene that will scar the town for good. She knew that they will look for her for questioning but she did not want to be found. Confusion still swarmed her mind and she did not even know what the hell happened that night. Just that she was fighting for her life as two men were dragging her out of the house. Nothing after that. It was cold and she was trying her best to keep warm. Her feet were already numb for walking without resting for a long time but she could afford to take a rest. Not now. Time was of the essence. The problem was that she had nowhere to go and no one in her life. All her life she just had those awful people who supposedly gave her life. They hated her and they made her feel their hatred
Mercedes held her breath when the attention of the 3 werewolves was on her now. She was in the spotlight but she was not afraid. But she was still cautious but deep down she believed that these wolves killing her would be the best thing that would happen to her than living on the run for the rest of her life. Initially, she thought starting a new life would be easy but in a few moments, a realization dawned on her. Like that man chased her, her past would be on her tail, following her everywhere she goes. So she stood her ground. Running was clearly not the solution so she had to face whatever came on her head-on. I mean what could be worse than what she had to face in the past few days till now. The 3 wolves analyzed her but never approached her. They looked much calmer than before and none threatening. Even she could not understand how they were not doing anything but just staring at her. The gush of wind blew and their thick fur moved along with it. Mercedes envied
For the past several months, rogues have been attacking packs but never taking over the lands. It looked like they were in pursuit of something or someone. No one knew anything. The Werewolf Counsel had summoned all Alphas to come together to try and stop the attacks. There were already so many casualties and fallen packs. And if no one stood against those rogues, the werewolf's existence would be under threat. Felix was in his study managing paperwork for his pack's affairs. He was the Alpha of the White Claw Pack and he was responsible for everything that concerned his pack. And now his main aim was to protect all his pack members from the feral rogues. The rogues have attacked many surrounding packs but he managed to save many of them and claim their lands to expand his pack. If the Alphas were not dead, he offered them to remain in their position but he had the ultimate control. Last night an incident happened by the park borders. A human girl was about to be atta
It felt so surreal. Mercedes felt at peace and relaxed for the first time. She was not scared or anxious that anything bad would happen and it was a strange feeling considering how people are at the hospital because of something bad. It had just been 5 days and she was already getting used to the hospital room she was in. Everyone she met treated her well and catered to her everyone's needs no matter how small it seemed. Although she had a feeling that it had something to do with her good and first friend ever, Crystal. Crystal had been a Godsend to her. She came more than necessary to check on her. But she was not complaining. It was like she understood her. She didn't want to be all alone and feel that eerie loneliness again. When Crystal came over she would talk all about her life and how an amazing family she has. Her husband loved her to bits. She even told her she was pregnant with her first child. In all that time she felt like she got to know her completely and tha
Crystal brought Mercedes fresh clothes since her's were torn. They were both silent, trying not to make the situation even worse. Crystal briefed Mercedes on what she had to know because she asked. She was said that her friend was going to leave and never remember. It was probably not a good idea to form an attachment with her. She couldn't help herself. Mercedes was just shy and sweet. Unlike like the females in her pack. Crystal was only treated well by the rest of them because she was mated to a Beta. If it wasn't for that, she wouldn't even be here. Every privilege she gets is because of her mate's status in the pack. Although she is grateful, it is not enough. She wanted people to like her for who she is not who she is with. She doesn't want fake respect or concern like that. With Mercedes, it was different. She didn't know anything about her and she liked her for her personality and character. In that short time, they established a solid bond that would soon break.
Alexa was in a daze not knowing how Mercedes could intercept her magic. After all, she was just a human so how was she doing that. Felix, Jake, and Crystal, we're confused and waiting for Alexa to tell them what happened. Mercedes was as confused as the rest of them. She was just starting at Alexa weirdly. " What is it, Alexa. What happened?" Felix asked approaching her. Alexa shook her head and placed her fingers on Mercedes again. This time she used maximum power to see if she would be able to block that too. Mercedes gasped and started convulsing and elevated. Her eyes were wide and her mouth agape as Alexa's magic navigated her mind. Alexa was once again unable to penetrate her mind enough to erase her memories. She retracted her power and Mercedes slowly calmed down and fell on the floor. Crystal panicked and ran to her and kneeled in front of her. She gently placed her head on her lap and caressed her hair and face. " Mercedes wake up!" she exclaimed tapping li
Felix had summoned all his pack members to the training grounds to address th if the new situation. Everyone was murmuring amongst themselves about what they thought their Alpha called them for. Some of them knew it was about the mysterious human girl they have seen around. They even heard she was rescued in the woods from a feral rogue. Now it would finally make sense. They would know about her and not just speculate of might be going on. Felix stood tall and serious in front of his subjects. All of their murmurs hushed in recognition of his presence. He beckoned a scared Mercedes to come out from behind him. She was not used to so many eyes on her much less Werewolf eyes. She wished that the earth could open up and swallow her whole. Mercedes felt so embarrassed and inferior to their supernatural superiority. She was at their mercy. She imagined all of them turning off her and attacking her and having a feast. A horrific thing to imagine. She shook her head to get it str

After what Alexa said before passing out, Mercedes, Jake, and Crystal made their guesses on what she meant about her blood that can heal. Mercedes had Jake get her a dagger. She stood beside Felix. She looked back and Crystal and Jake both nodded their heads at her. Mercedes took a breath. She held out her palm and sliced through it with the dagger in her hand. She winced feeling pain. The pain quickly subsided. Her blood oozed out and she closed her hand and let the blood drip on Felix's lips. The blood seeped into his mouth. With just that, all of them couldn't determine if the blood was working. The was pin drop silence as all watched to see if Felix would show any reaction to her blood. A few minutes had passed without anything happening. Mercedes was on the verge of losing hope. She looked down and dejected. But then suddenly, Felix bolted up and gasping for air. Everyone gasped in shock seeing this. It was like Felix had been revived from the dead. Jake and Crystal came for
Amaya. I thought I would never hear you talk of that name," said an unfamiliar voice to Mercedes. Alexa turned to see Isadora. The head of the Academy and her nemesis. " Did your elders never teach you that eavesdropping is impolite?" Alexa asked snidely glaring at Isadora who was just smirking. " Forgive my impoliteness, dear Alexa. It was not at all my intention." " Alright. Don't mind me and my friend here. Move along." Mercedes just stood there not understanding the hostility between them. Alexa turned to her and grabbed her hand attempting to get away from Isadora before her mood got spoiled. " Stop being childish Alexa. It's beneath you. For how long are you going to keep up this attitude of yours towards me? We are not young anymore. Besides, you come and go from here so we'll have to see each other like it or not." Alexa was getting infuriated by just hearing her talk. The tension between them goes way back. They were actually the best of friends until Isadora bruta
Mercedes went over to the window of the classroom to get a closer look. Everyone in the class didn't take notice of her standing there. She watched as the girls paid attention to their teacher in front of them. The woman looked not much older than the girls. She was fair skinned, had unique violet eyes, and a long black hair that cascaded behind her like a waterfall. She was simply beautiful. Mercedes couldn't help but be in awe of her. She felt insecure just to be in her presence. The woman uttered words incoherent to Mercedes to perform a spell. Suddenly a flame formed out of her palm. The girls were awed and equally astonished as Mercedes was. She had not seen anything like that. While glued to the window of the classroom someone tapped her shoulder from behind. Mercedes looked behind her to see Alexa standing before her. " Alexa!" she exclaimed. A sense of relief washed over her. She was frantically looking for Alexa all this while but she got distracted by the class. " Where
Mercedes woke up inside a room. Her head was slightly ringing as she sat up. She didn't remember what happened to her. She held her head in her hands and tried to ease her pain. Alexa came inside and found her awake. She sighed and felt relieved. It's been 2 days since the incident. The was nothing Alexa could do to wake her up. It was up to Mercedes to wake up. It would have been bad if something happened to her. " Mercedes, you are awake!" she exclaimed placing a tray of food in her hands on the table and going to sit next to her on the bed. Mercedes looked at her in confusion and asked, " What happened? I-I don't remember what happened after we got to Alvira. Everything is hazy and my head hurts so bad." Alexia placed her hand on her back and stroked her lightly. " It's okay. Take it slowly. There is no need to push yourself. Relax," Akexa coerced sweetly. Mercedes tried taking deep breaths and cleared her mind. She turned to look at Alexa. " How long was I out for?" Alexa lo
It was time to leave. Felix helped Mercedes pack everything she needs to leave. It broke his heart but it was something that must be done. There had to be separated for some time but Felix knew that it was going to feel like an eternity without her. Mercedes kept stealing glances at him. He seemed to be sulking and lost in thought. She felt bad to be leaving him behind as well but there is nowhere out. She sighed and suppressed her emotions. Once they were done packing, Felix carried her bags and they joined the others downstairs. " Do you have everything you need?" Alexa asks Mercedes. "Yes, I do," she replies. Crystal comes forward and takes Mercedes's hand. Everyone looks at her as she put an amulet on her hand. It was a crystal-like amulet " I have been wanting to give you this amulet for some time. Right now felt like the perfect time to do it," Crystal says to her. Mercedes looks at the amulet and tears come to her eyes. " I had Alexa work her magic on it. I hope it will
Mercedes and Felix were lying in bed when they felt the morning breeze blow inside their room. Felix stirred in his sleep but didn't wake up and just held tighter to Mercedes's body. Mercedes woke up still half asleep and realized that she was naked in bed and Felix was pressed up behind her. He below felt deliciously sore as she pressed her thighs together to try and ease up the pain. She smiled to herself and embraced the breeze that kissed their bodies. She placed her hand on his hand around her waist. The thought visited the night before when she surrendered to him completely. She felt sore on her neck when she tried to crane it and she touched the area where Felix had marked. She wondered what her mark looked like. She had fallen unconscious so she couldn't mark him too. She wanted to complete their home before she left for Alvira. The mere thought of parting with him made her very sad. She was reluctant to leave even though she tried to convince herself that it was the right th
Felix had lost control. His wolf was now surface and in control of the body. Mercedes noticed by his eyes that had turned dark. She cupped his face and caressed his cheek. " Roland. Is that you?" she asks breathlessly. " Yes, it's me, mate! Long time no see," he smirked. Mercedes was suddenly nervous but excited at the same time. It was a mixed feeling. " Long time it is," she responded with a small smile as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear shyly looking everywhere but at him. He grabbed her chin roughly but not enough to hurt her, compelling her to look him in the eye. " I am dying to ravage you all night long until you are satiated and spent. I want to sink my teeth into your sweet slender neck to mark you as my own. You don't know how much I have been trying to keep it together and not rip this human apart for complete control," he said referring to Felix. Mercedes was perplexed at his crude choice of words but heck, she was not complaining. She had a feeling that he
After spending some time with the pack members, it was time to go back home. They arrived and Felix insisted on preparing dinner. He said he wanted to feed himself so Mercedes couldn't dare deny him that. She sat at the table and watched him do all the work. He rolls the sleeves of his shirt up showing his veined manly forearms. Mercedes was caught up in a daze of admiration for her mate.He chopped the vegetables and began cooking. In no time, it was already smelling delicious and that is when Mercedes's stomach grumbled catching Felix's attention. " Are you that hungry?" Felix asks teasing Mercedes who was already embarrassed. " Yes. I could eat a person," std teases back, licking her lips provocatively. Felix stunned, cleared his throat, and decided to look away from her. Waking up the beast in him at the moment was not a good idea. Mercedes giggled at his expense. " Alright. Dinner will be ready in no time. No need to be impatient," he says. " In the meantime. Would you like a
