All Chapters of REBORN AFTER DEATH: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

  ...Elena pov… As I walked down the hall, I caught sight of the guard who had just delivered the news of the plague outbreak. I knew what I needed to do - I had to help in any way I could. I quickened my pace to catch up to him. "Excuse me," I said, tapping him on the shoulder. He turned to face me, surprise written across his features. "Yes, milady?" he asked, a hint of confusion in his tone. "I'd like to go with you to deliver the medicine," I said, a sense of determination in my voice. "I want to help in any way I can." The guard hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Of course, milady. It would be an honor to have you accompany me." As we made our way to the supply room to gather the medicine, the guard and I engaged in a conversation.  He told me about his experiences on the front lines, fighting

   I stepped into the palace and immediately felt the tension in the air. Despite my uniform, I felt out of place among the nobles and their courtiers who walked the halls with an air of superiority. They glanced at me briefly before looking away, as if they were too important to waste their time on a mere maid. I took a deep breath and made my way towards the lift, trying to calm my nerves. I knew that I had important information to share with the alpha, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I didn't belong here. As I waited for the lift, I noticed a group of guards huddled in a corner, their expressions grim. They didn't seem to notice me as I stepped into the lift and pressed the button for the alpha's floor. As the lift began to ascend, I felt my heart pounding in my chest. I took another deep breath and tried to calm myself. I knew that I had to be strong and confident when I f

   ...Rowland pov…  As we walked, I felt the eyes of the townspeople on us. They were afraid, and they were uncertain. But I was determined to show them that I was here to help, and that there was nothing to fear. When we reached the town square, I climbed up onto a raised platform and raised my hands for silence. The crowd quieted, and I began to speak. "People of Willow Creek," I said, my voice ringing out across the square. "I've come to address the rumors that are spreading through this town. The plague is not a punishment from the gods, and it is not a curse from a rival pack." I paused, letting my words sink in. The people were listening, their eyes fixed on me. "We are investigating the cause of the disease," I continued. "We will find a cure, and we will heal those who are affected. But in the meantime, I need you

  … Elena POV... As I sat beside Rowland's bed, watching him toss and turn in feverish sleep, I couldn't help but feel helpless. The doctors had done all they could, but his condition was only worsening by the hour. I knew I had to do something to save him. As I walked into my room, I went straight to my bookshelf and pulled out the book of dark magic. I sat down on my bed, opened the book, and started searching for a spell that could cure Rowland. Hours passed as I read through page after page of spells, incantations, and rituals. Some of them were dangerous, some of them were useless, but I didn't stop until I found what I was looking for. It was a spell for healing, a spell that promised to cure even the most deadly of diseases. I was skeptical at first, but as I read through the incantation, I felt a strange power within me. I knew that this was the spell I was lo

  … Selena POV…   But the members were not happy with this arrangement and it showed on their face. "Where is the alpha?" one of the council members asked me, his tone sharp. I met his gaze coolly, "He is busy and has left me in charge." The council members frowned, murmuring amongst themselves. "Get the alpha," another member demanded.    I scowled at them, anger boiling inside of me. I was tired of the constant disrespect and doubt I faced as a female leader in a male-dominated pack. But I kept my cool and replied, "The alpha trusts me to handle this matter. I am perfectly capable of leading this council." The council members grumbled, but I stood my ground. I was determined to prove my worth and earn the respect of the pack. I sat at the co
