Part 5 Chenoa Heals Too

Mission impossible

Akoshka POV

Apparently, I would not need the pretty boy after all. Plus, he was just a shifter and his s*x was not as pleasing to me. I found Thomas's much more appealing. Which also made me wonder what it would be like to actually take Lucifer up on his offer. I mean the man was absolutely scrumptious. Still, he was the devil and I was no fool. I knew how dangerous dealing with him could be. Besides, if I chose that path, I'd be stuck simply with him and this way I could have anyone I wanted, but I did not desire just anyone. I wanted Zion Black. My mother gave him to that fake imposter. Which meant he belonged to me rightfully. "I need a breath of fresh air." I said to River,

"Great! I can shift into my wolf and we can take a run together. What is your wolf's name?" River asked me, uh what the hell do you name wolves after I paused thinking to myself?

"Uh Moon," I stuttered.

"Oh I can't wait to meet her?" He said. I was already dressed. I looked over at him, finding it amazing how trusting he was. He genuinely seemed to be a sweet soul.

"Cool get dressed, I will meet you up front." Before he could respond, I was out of there. I practically blinked and I was in Russia and I could hear those hellhounds barking. I followed the sound, "sleep giant sleep." He fell over shaking the already fragile structure, releasing the hellhounds. They went running. Now the only thing that stood between me and Zion Black was a door. I waved my hand and the door flew off the hinges onto the wall. I walked into the room. No one was there, impossible. I sniffed the air and laughed, "I smell you witch! Show yourself," I hissed, "Where are you, so you want to play hide and seek? Very well, but I'm changing the rules. If you escape, I will give you an extra week before destroying you and if you lose you will be my slaves." I could taste my revenge. Everything was to be mine. You can't give me something and take it back. "Ah, so there you are." I could sense them cowering in a corner. Protected from my site by a veil. I went to strike, when suddenly a blinding flash appeared and I was thrown back. What the hell was that? I am angry now. I moved with force toward that place again and through a bolt of lightning. Four wolves went flying in different directions.

"You have something that belongs to me. Hand over the weapon!" I demand from them.

"Show yourself!" A thunderous voice sent chills down my spine and my eyes fell on who could only be Zion Black.

My goodness he was one tall, cup of yummy. Oh yes, I most certainly had to have him.

"So you are Zion Black, the mate of my mother's chosen. It's time we finally met." I said sweetly to him.

"Oh yeah and why is that?" He asked me. Already my attraction to him was growing. The demanding sound of his voice made me shiver. I could only imagine what his touch felt like.

"Because you are mate to the wrong person, rightfully you should belong to me. I am the true goddess and mother of earth. The Chosen is a cheap replica." He must not have liked my words because he growled before saying, "Maybe so, but she is mine! Why would I want a woman that acts like an immature, spoiled child, that throws temper tantrums when she does not have her way?" He scoffed at me. I could hear the disgust in his tone.

"Excuse me," I was appalled. No one spoke to me like this Lycan King did.

"Oh no you are not excused! Countless lives have been lost because you are a heartless, bitter b***h with no soul. There are no excuses for you." He growled at me and I was offended. Yes, I had some issues, but I felt that was a bit harsh. He was going to pay for that. I used my powers of seduction to will him forward, "No other man has called me bitter Mr Black. Perhaps if you had a lick you would change your mine." I purred into his ear.

He came to me and I could tell he was fighting back. He was stronger than most men, which I found even more appealing. In this way, I was irresistible. I took a finger and touched his essence and he began to shake. I laughed. It was like giving a man an instant orgasm. I literally touched his soul. My spirit entered his body. And stroked him gently until he released himself. This form of lovemaking was done only among the Gods and it was forbidden, but I could simply not help myself. I moaned with pleasure as his body shook fighting against me, but he could not resist my essence. He came so violently. I think this turned me on even more.

"Zion, don't give in to her!" I heard a female scream. This infuriated me. How dare she try to come between what is rightfully mine.

I turned and threw a bolt of lightning at her and the b***h dodged me. She became my main objective.

"That's right, run!" I said to her as I threw bolts at her. She began to laugh.

"What's so funny, witch?" I demanded.

"I just think it's funny how you claim to be superior. Yet I don't recall the Chosen having to result in her powers to get or keep a man. I think," she said, dodging another blow, "your only superior in your own eyes, because to me you look desperate as hell." She was breathing heavily as she ran from one spot to the next .

The Lycan chuckled at the witch's words, which pissed me off even more.

"She does seem a little thirsty doesn't she, love?" Another man said that my goodness was attractive too. Suddenly they all began to laugh at me.

"This may not be the time to antagonize her!" Another man yelled, making a run for the door. I didn't even bother with him, I was more concerned with the handsome Lycan and the two laughing hyenas. I did get pleasure when I heard the one that made a run for it screaming as Lucifer's hellhounds tore into him. I could feel my anger boiling. I grabbed the male and lifted him. I could smell her all over him. I laughed, "Oh he belongs to you, does he?" I cackled. I touched his essence as well. He was weaker than the Lycan as I stroked him, he moaned shamelessly. The witch fell over suffering from the pain of his betrayal as I f****d the hell out of him and the Lycan both. The feeling was crazy addictive. I had a problem, s*x was consuming me. The pleasure I was getting from it was almost better than the feeling of revenge. I could do this all day, and I would have, but the witch yelled and incantation and suddenly it felt like a thousand needles were poking me. I was not in a human form, so I realized very quickly this was no regular witch. I dropped him and the Lycan, screaming as I swirled around so fast, I created a small tornado.

"Carson! Carson!" The handsome hunk was yelling. As the screams from the man outside of the room became more desperate and faint. He looked over at his mate and I could feel his shame. I had completely drained him in front of her multiple times.

"Chastity," he called out.

"Shut up Chandler!" She screamed back at him. The witch was rubbing her arms together , chanting.

I screamed and the earth began to quake. I was pushed away with force from the room and went slamming into another. The only thing strong enough to ward against me would be the white witches, a damn coven of them. Mother had once told me about this but they were not evil and they worked for goodness, the light. So Zion Black had the protection of the White witches. They could only stall for a short period of time and then I'd break through that barrier. Then what idiots! That ward will not protect you forever. Until then, I was stuck in this damn room as they made a run for it.

Zion's POV

"That was close!" Chastity said as soon as the van was in the air.

"What about your people?" I asked her,

"They will be fine." Chastity responded, "It was like an illusion of sorts. By the time she figures out how to get past the shield, we will be safe again and long gone. My people set up a few distractions for her along the way." She explained, looking at her pale face I felt terrible for her. She just watched me and her mate getting raped basically. Although Chandler did seem to enjoy himself. In truth, no'one enjoyed hurting their mate and right now he could not meet her eyes. We both felt exposed at the moment, it was degrading. I was beginning to feel I was doing something to attract women that were a little thrown off because I found myself in this position quite often. My wolf was completely silent and I knew it was because he felt violated as well.

"Your people are amazing." Carson said, as he coughed up blood.

"Yes they are, I have learned so much in such a short time from them." I could hear the concern in her voice as she asked Carson, "how are you holding up?"

Carson did not answer her as he held onto Chandler's arm, trying to comfort his distraught brother. As he struggled to take his last breath.

"He is losing a lot of blood, babe!" Chandler called out to Chastity. I felt bad for her. I could see she was torn because he expected her to fix it, but Chastity was not a healer and nor was I. "This is going to hurt Carson but we have to stop the bleeding." I warned him. I felt a strange sensation as I tried to use my powers. Every since Leilani had marked me I felt weaker like my powers were on the fritz. I was barely able to get a good spark to cauterize the wound. Worse, the goddess did something to me. It was like she had…marked me. I could feel her, which meant she most likely could feel me. Carson screamed in pain as I tried my best to save him. His wolf took over, taking the blunt of the pain. "Okay okay relax." I said, taking my shirt off, I balled it up and placed it under his head. "We have got to get him back as fast as possible. Maybe Noah can meet us there before going back. I'm afraid he-"

Chandler growled at me, "don't say it! My brother is not going to die!"

Even as he said it, Carson's breathing had become very shallow. "Chastity, see if we are close enough to mindlink Noah and keep trying." I instructed.

"I have no idea if she is still in another dimension or in the time loop, but she is not responding." She said, touching Carson's forehead, "s**t he is burning up."

"It's okay Carson, I am here. You're not alone." Chandler said to his brother.

"Net," Carson said in a raspy voice. He was thinking of his mate. This was too close to home. I wanted out of this small space, feelings were coming back to me. I slid away, reaching in my duffel bag and grabbed a bottle of water. I went back and held it up to his lips. "Thank you." He said to me, then looked at his brother, and then at Chastity. "I'm glad you have each other. I am proud of the man you have become little brother." Carson was trying to tie up loose ends, but it was clear Chandler was not ready to hear him.

"Carson, save your strength." Chandler urged,

"Take care of him, please." He said to Chastity, who just nodded.

"Stop talking like this brother, you will look out for me and Cameron like you always do." Chandler was refusing to believe the reality of the situation. The hounds had ripped him apart, his veins were turning black from the venom the hounds carried in their bite. It was no regular wound.

"Cam will suffer. He will struggle with his pain and Net's, take care of him and tell Janette I'm sorry I was so stubborn and we lost so much time." He grabbed Chandler's arm, gripping it hard. He was fighting death.

"Carson, stop this!" Chandler yelled.

"I love you brother and tell Net I…I," Carson struggled to get his words out. I grabbed his arm but something strange happened. He looked at me, "do you see him?" He looked at me oddly and I shook my head no. I saw no one, but Chandler relaxed and a smile came across his face. He quit struggling, "Him,"

"Who?" I asked. His eyes appeared to be clouding over, we were losing him, so I thought. Then his eyes began to glow and he began to call out as his body began to instantly heal, "What the hell!" I yelled.

Carson fell back onto the floor of the van completely healed. "Carson, Carson!"

His eyes blinked open and he whispered, "Elijah," before letting out a huge snore and falling into a deep sleep. I slid back relief washing over me. Closing my eyes, I tried to take everything in when I heard, 'Daddy,"

I jumped, looking around, 'Elijah!' I sighed, I hated to admit it, but Elijah needed his ass beat. The boy never listened.

'Sorry dad, but I couldn't let him die.' He said to me and at that moment how could I be angry? He saved Carlson's life.

'Elijah, how did you know?' I asked the boy.

'I can feel you daddy. I knew something was wrong and it was! Something changed daddy, you're different.' Elijah said to me.

'Different how?' I asked him with concern, because in truth I felt different, and not in a good way.,

'Your wake.' he said to me, 'daddy, something is attached to you.'

'Elijah, listen to me. The undoing has attached herself to me. I need you to go back and not leave, do you understand?'

'But,' he began.

'ELIJAH, IF YOU COME BACK TO ME YOU WILL LEAD HER TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE, YOU WANT THEM TO GET HURT?' I was using my alpha tone on my son and I hated doing that to him.

'NO DAD BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU!' He started to cry and my heart sank. For once, he was acting like the child that he was, 'mom is gone. I don't want you to go. Just come back!' He was crying and it was tearing me apart.

'Son I can't. I have to protect you and your brothers.' I was trying to make him understand.

'No, we will protect you!' the boy shouted at me, my goddess, if he wasn't stubborn like his mother.

'ELIJAH, YOU WILL STAY THERE! DO NOT LEAVE THAT VOID!' I tried to reel in my anger. 'Son, I love you but I'd die if I lost you. Please listen!' I found myself pleading with him.

It went silent and now I was panicking because once the warding wore off she would come straight to me and if Elijah was around I felt in my soul she would kill him.

"Chastity let me off!' I demanded.

"What Zion we are in the middle of the ocean, what the hell are you talking about?"

"The undoing marked me. She can find me wherever I go. I can't return with you." I spoke

"Marked you!" Chandler barked, "what does that mean?"

"It means you're not safe until distance is between us." I explained. He looked at Chastity.

"No!" She called out.

"We can't take chances, Chastity." He looked at her sadly.

"You have no sea beast, Zion! You will die if I drop you in the middle of the damn ocean." She snapped, growling at both of us.

"I will take my chances." I went to the door and opened it.

"Wait damn it," she looked around for something, anything, but there was nothing inside to work with.

"We are wasting time. Good luck friend. You have the weapon. This is where we part ways." I jumped and I heard her scream as I fell until I hit the water. I sunk quickly but then I swam to the top and began to swim.

I knew I was most likely going to die. As she said, I had no sea beast and I was in the middle of the ocean.For some reason, as I swam I felt no fear, only peace. I felt closer to Cat, this is where I should be. If the world was ending and I could not be with my boys, then at least I would be near Cat as I took my last breath. I heard movements and looked back to see Chandler swimming beside me. We swam and swam and swam until we became exhausted, then I lay on my back floating as he did . There was little to no conversation between us. It was a strange situation but I was at peace oddly. 'Cat, Elijah says I am awake, whatever that means. Does that mean you can hear me? If it does my love, please know. I am aware I made a lot of mistakes. I'm sorry baby I am, I swear I am. I love you with every ounce of my being. As long as you know that, I'm okay. And I'm sorry I will not be with the boys in the end, but I'm trying to protect them. It's kind of fitting that this is where things end in the middle of the damn ocean.' I was exhausted. I closed my eyes as the sun beat down on my skin and drifted off to sleep.

I woke in panic, kicking up and splashing around. I sensed danger.

'Relax Champ, no use fighting it.' my wolf said.

'Czar.' I said, inhaling and exhaling rapidly.

'Yes,' he said calmly as I realized we were surrounded by sharks. I sighed, at least I was not completely alone. I looked around to see Chandler floating a little further out. Closer to the danger.

'No use waking him, let it happen quickly. This is their natural habitat. They will make it quick if there is no struggle.' He suggested.

'What are you thinking?' I asked him,

'I was remembering the first time I saw each of my pups.' Czar said.

'Yes.' I feel bad I held back from Maden in the beginning.

'You know they have all had rough beginnings. I feel that with them we have left a proud legacy.' Czar said proudly.

'Yes we have, I agree.' I was afraid suddenly, but I would not cry. I would die with honor.

The sharks were closing in and I knew we were in their territory. I refused to panic and die begging like a coward. Instead, I watched the beautiful sky. Something caught my eye. One of the sharks' eyes began to glow and it snapped at another shark and utter chaos began to happen around me as a fight broke out and it became a feeding frenzy as they began to attack each other, 'What the hell?'

'Just buying you a little time until the calvary arrives.' Her voice said,

'Anonda!' I was shocked, then my body was lifted into the air. I took a deep breath. Realizing I was atop of a huge beast.

'Hey, Alpha need a hand?' I heard a familiar voice ask as I saw Chandler nearly s**t himself as he was lifted out of the water.

'Niveah!' Rivers' mom had come to my rescue. I chuckled, "It's okay Chandler, they are members of Mystic Moon." The relief on his face made me laugh harder.

'Hi Alpha!' Ladonna said and a squeak came from her two pups.

'Woow you guys have grown!' I said to the pups.' as they played in the water.

'Alpha, may I ask what you're doing this far out?' Niveah asked.

'It's a long story. We went to Russia to find a weapon to fight against the undoing. Unfortunately, she has touched me, marked me so I and Chandler left them in order to protect them." I explained.

'You sacrificed yourself?' Niveah asked,

'I suppose I did. Where is River?' I asked,

'He left a few days ago. He went to land to check on the pack.'

She said now this was news to me and, concerning that, River was like a little brother. What if something happened to him?

'Niveah, how did you know I was out here?' I asked her.

She was silent for a moment, 'I saw something odd, a glowing orb in the water and I just knew I had to follow it.'

Anonda, Catori's keeper, had come to my rescue. I didn't even get a chance to thank her .

Once we reached land, I swam to shore. 'Thanks Niveah,'

'Your welcome. Say goodbye kids!' they flapped their fins and off they went.I turned and looked and I could see clear to Mystic Moon, all the trees, gone. In fact, it was flat for miles. The earth was destroyed. Our beautiful forest is gone.

I looked around and started walking toward Mystic Moon. When we came upon a pack of rogues, there were about seven all together. "Keep it moving rogues, I have no time for this." I warned them.

"You run nothing anymore, Alpha. You can't tell us what to do." One of them laughed. It was clear they were looking for trouble. I looked at a silent Chandler,

"Look, it's best you move along." I had better things to do with my time than fool around with a bunch of rogues.

"Sure right after you give me your shoes." The apparent ring leader said.

"Take them." I calmly said.

'They are not taking our shoes' Czar said. I looked over at Chandler and he seemed to be in agreement with my wolf, because he was looking at me like, really Zion.

'Czar, my power is all but gone.' I was weary and simply not in the mood for confrontation.

I felt him push me back and he came forward, repeating, "take them."

I almost felt sorry for the poor rogue Czar who had a lot of pent-up aggression, he carried my feelings. And he was Lycan, so we controlled it but there was a thirst in us to kill.

The rogues looked at one another, recognizing the tone change. It went from a simple offer to a challenge.

The one rogue came forward and within seconds Czar had broken both his legs and snapped his arm. Normally he was not as brutal, but today with pleasure he grabbed a rogue, snatching his arm so hard it was nearly torn from his body, which was enough to send the others running in fear. Czar had not broken a sweat, so unlike him he gave chase. 'Really Czar?'

He did not respond. Catching up with one of the rogues, he began beating the hell out of him.

"Zion!" Someone yelled my name.

Czar turned to look in the direction of the voice. River stepped back when he saw that Czar was in control. I would never hurt River but my Lycan had been unstable for quite some time. I pushed forward, dropping the rogue's body, "River?"

River ran to me and we embraced, "Why are you here? It is safer under the sea?" I asked,, pulling away.

"I had to come see it with my own eyes. Akoshka has destroyed everything," he said. I flinched at the sound of her name.

"Dude," Chandler said, standing lazily beside me. I said nothing about the fact that he did not lend a hand to help me with the rogues.

"River, you are not to say her name. Where it is spoken she has eyes. I guess it does not matter now, she has marked me. I can't hide from her. You need to go home to the sea."

"No I can't now. I can't leave the others," he said.

"The others?" I gave him a questioning look,

"I came across a few stragglers that had been left behind. We think …" he paused, thinking of the right words to say.

He did not know what to call her, "the undoing." I said to him.

"Yes, everyone is gone, there are not even bodies." He explained.

I, of course, knew why but I could not tell him because she could possibly hear me. "What others do you speak of River." I looked as three wolves came from the woods all bowing their heads when they approached.

"This is my alpha, Zion Black," River said proudly.

"Pleasure to meet you, Zion." Both of the girls said as they looked down.

"Yes, alpha, nice to meet your acquaintance. I am Thomas and these are my sisters." He introduced the girls as Ruby and Janine..

"Where or who is your Alpha?" Chandler asked them,

One of the girls' eyes filled with tears, "Our Alpha and Luna both perished protecting our pack. Ako-"

"Don't say her name, Ruby. Zion has Informed me that when you say her name she has eyes in that place, so we have been in danger this entire time." River pointed out.

The fear was evident in her eyes. She reached for her brother's arm, "we must go then. She knows we are here!"

"What about Legacy?" Janine asked. We all turned as our ears heard the howling in the distance, "Legacy!" They all took off running. Chandler looked at me and shrugged, running off behind them and I followed. We came across a clearing and there was a girl sitting in the grass between two mounds of dirt. She had been crying clearly. River ran to her, "Legacy we were searching everywhere for you." River went to her, pulling her to him and she lay her head on his shoulder and cried.

"I'm sorry I came across them and I needed to do this alone." She whimpered.

"Do what alone?" River asked her, concerned.

"Bury my brothers," she cried, causing Ruby and Janine to gasp. They went to her, hugging her.

"I am so sorry, Legacy." River took her in his arms again.

"Legacy I want you to meet my alpha, Zion Black. " The girl turned to look at me and I immediately noticed that she was beyond beautiful. Her eyes were almost an icy blue which were beautiful against her soft taffee complexion. "Nice to meet you Legacy," I cleared my throat, "what pack are you all from?"

"Blood River pack Alpha Damien was our alpha." Janine spoke up, "we lost him and our Luna."

This did make sense. It would explain how they got left behind. Their alpha was gone, so when we reached out to that pack they missed out.

"I knew Alpha Damien. He was a fine man." Catori liked his Luna. Whenever they linked up, they went shopping.

"Alpha, we have all been left behind to die." Ruby said. Thomas looked at her and went stomping off alone.

"He lost his mate Erika during all of this." Ruby explained, "he can't believe if the Goddess came to save our people we would have been left behind." She and Ruby were both gorgeous girls but their beauty did not compare to Legacy's. I noticed how both girls seemed to be fawning over her. It almost seemed …intimate. The entire scene was a bit cozy. "Well, I must put some distance between us so you all should be moving along." I said, Chandler nodded in agreement.

"Whaaaat your not staying with us?" River exclaimed.

"River, I can't, it is not safe for you to stay with me." I sighed because I could see the torment on his face.

"What will happen to you, Zion?" He asked me as his face reddened.

"I will be with Catori, so either way I will be at peace little brother." I spoke to him. Unable to pull my eyes away from her, "Is she your mate?" The words just fell out my mouth. Thomas reappeared and, walking up to us, he looked at her and, without thought, swiped at a tear that had fallen down her cheek. "No, we are close though."

River explained, and when he said this I noticed the furrowed brow the girls both had and Thomas winced. I stepped back and looked at them. Everything was wrong with this picture. 'They have all had her. She has all their scents.' Czar pointed out.

'Well, if they are into that…' I said to Czar, 'but what seems strange is ….Thomas.'

'Ah, so we are on the same page.' Czar said to me.

As River said, Thomas had lost his mate. He should be suffering, but he was not. Granted, he seemed angry, but something was just off. I looked at Chandler and he was looking at me as well. He felt that something was off with this girl. Could she possibly be her?

"River, your mom came to our rescue. Your pups have grown so much, and Ladonna is still sweet as ever." I smiled at him, but he gave me a confused look.

"You saw them?" he asked.

"Yes." What was I supposed to do, walk away knowing The Undoing had her claws in River, no way game on b***h!
