RAYA'S POV.I set off the next morning, determined to find a seer who can help us locate Lia. Asher's guards are patrolling the pack, making sure that there are no more surprises from Alpha Lance's pack. I have to find a seer who can help us track Lia's scent and find her before it's too late.As I walked through the woods, I couldn't help but feel the weight of the situation on my shoulders. Lia was out there somewhere, and she was counting on me to find her. I had to find her before it was too late. As I walked, I kept my eyes open for any signs of a seer. I had heard that they could be found deep in the woods, away from civilization.After a few hours of walking, I spotted an old woman sitting by a campfire. She was dressed in rags, and her hair was wild and unkempt. I approached her cautiously, not knowing what to expect."Excuse me, ma'am," I said. "I'm looking for a seer. Can you help me?"The old woman looked up at me and smiled. "I am a seer," she said. "What do you need?"I e
RAYA'S POV.As I walked down the hallway, the floorboards creaking beneath my feet, I saw Asher disappear into his room. I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should follow him in, but my curiosity got the better of me. I opened the door quietly and peered inside.The room was dimly lit, with only a single lamp casting a warm glow. Asher was sitting on the edge of his bed, staring out the window into the night sky. For a moment, he didn't seem to notice me there, watching him.But then, as if sensing my presence, he turned his head and met my gaze. The small smile was still there, but it had grown softer, warmer. It was as if he was genuinely happy to see me."Hey," he said, his voice low and gentle. "What brings you here?""I just wanted to check on you," I replied, taking a step into the room.He nodded, his eyes still locked on mine. "I appreciate that," he said. "But really, I'm okay."There was something in his voice that made me doubt that, but I didn't push. Instead, I walked o
RAYA'S POV.I woke up with a splitting headache, the kind that felt like someone was driving a stake through my skull. I groaned and sat up, my head pounding with every movement. I tried to remember what I had done the night before, but everything was hazy and blurred.As I stumbled out of bed, I realized that my entire body ached. It felt like I had been hit by a truck, repeatedly. I reached for the nightstand to steady myself, but my hand came up empty. That's when I noticed that everything in the room looked different, like it was slightly off-kilter.I stumbled my way to the bathroom, my head throbbing with each step. The world spun around me, and I had to grip the door frame to keep from falling over. When I finally made it to the sink, I leaned over and splashed some water on my face, hoping to clear my head.But the water only made things worse. It felt like an ice pick had been driven into my skull, and I doubled over, clutching my head in pain. I tried to take a deep breath,
ASHER'S POV.I stood in front of the large structure, my mind racing as I tried to come up with a plan. Raya stood beside me, her arms crossed over her chest as she surveyed the structure."We've tried everything," I said, frustration lacing my voice. "We've tried brute force, we've tried magic, but nothing seems to work."Raya nodded, her expression serious. "Maybe we're not supposed to get inside," she said. "Maybe this is a sign that we need to focus on other things."I shook my head. "No, I can feel it. There's something important inside, something we need to find."As we stood there, trying to figure out our next move, a group of guards approached us. "Alpha, what can we do to help?" one of them asked.I looked at them, then back at the structure. "We need to get inside," I said. "And we can't do it alone."The guards nodded, and together we began to try to force the structure open. We tried pushing, pulling, and prying, but nothing seemed to work. We even tried using magic, but
ASHER'S POV.But this time, there was no light at the end of the tunnel. Only darkness, and the looming sense of impending danger. Raya and I stepped outside of the structure and immediately noticed that something was off. The atmosphere was heavy, charged with the energy of an impending conflict. My instincts kicked in, and I knew that we were in for a fight.As we surveyed the area, it quickly became clear what had happened. The warriors stationed outside had been attacked. There were bodies lying everywhere, blood soaking the ground. My heart sank as I realized that Lance had bought some of the warriors, turning them against us. I clenched my fists, feeling anger and betrayal bubbling inside me.Raya and I didn't waste any time. We unsheathed our weapons and rushed to the scene, ready to fight for our survival. My mind was racing as I assessed the situation, trying to come up with a strategy to defeat our enemies. I could see the same determination in Raya's eyes, and it gave me st
ASHER'S POV.As we followed the signs of secret codes, we eventually stumbled upon a dirty and disgusting passageway that led us deeper into the unknown. The stench was overpowering, and the darkness was so thick that it felt like it could suffocate us at any moment. Nevertheless, we pressed on, knowing that we were getting closer to finding Lia.Finally, after what felt like hours of walking, we arrived at a large door that was guarded by several armed men. My heart raced as I prepared to engage them in battle, but Raya quickly intervened and dispatched them with incredible speed and precision. As they fell to the ground, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief mixed with admiration for her skills.Once the guards were taken care of, we approached the door, which was heavily fortified and seemed impenetrable. However, after examining it closely, Raya discovered a hidden mechanism that allowed us to open it. As the door creaked open, a cold draft swept over us, and we braced oursel
RAYA'S POV.I rush out of the room, my heart racing as I try to figure out the fastest way to get to the nearest physician. I know that every second counts, and I can't waste any time.As I make my way through the halls of the pack, I can feel the eyes of everyone on me. They know that something is wrong, and I can feel their worry and concern.I finally reach the door and step out into the cool night air. The moon is high in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the trees and the ground.I run as fast as I can, my feet pounding on the ground as I try to push myself harder and harder. I know that I have to get to the physician as quickly as possible if we're going to save Lia.As I run, my mind is racing. I can't help but think about how much Lia means to Asher and to the pack. She's one of our own, and we have to do everything in our power to save her.Finally, I reach the physician's house, and I pound on the door. A moment later, he opens the door, looking confused and sleepy.As soo
ASHER'S POV.It was time to head back to my Pack. We had prepared for this day for weeks, and we were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.As we made our way to the Pack, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nervous excitement. We had come so far, and we had fought so hard to get here. But the real battle was yet to come.I looked over at Raya, who was walking next to me. Her eyes were focused ahead, and I knew that she was just as determined as I was. We were in this together, and we weren't going to let anything stand in our way.We finally arrived at the Pack, and I could see William waiting for us at the entrance. He had a huge smile on his face as he welcomed us back."How did it go?" he asked, looking at me with concern."It went well," I replied, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders. "We took care of Lance, and we're ready to move forward."William's smile widened, and he clapped me on the back. "That's great news. I'm glad to hear it."As we made our way through the P
