1131 Words
Storm ran as fast as he could in the woods, but his pace slowly died down due to the effects of the poison. He looked back and realized the werewolves chasing him hadn't backed down
‘We can't die like this, how about our mate and our pup’ Storm feared
‘Keep moving, get us to safety first’ Horace responded at the back of his mind
‘I can't continue, I'm too weak’
Storm came to a halt and turned into his human form. Horace fell to the ground almost lifeless as the other wolves caught up with him
“Traitor” Lucas, one of the wolves snarled
But Horace remained on the floor gasping for air with his hand on his chest in a pool of his own blood
“He’s as good as dead, Let’s just finish him up” Derek, another wolf suggested
“Very well then”
Lucas raised his claws so high about to slit Horace’s throat. Suddenly, the thunder roared angrily with the lightening sending Lucas raised claws flying in the direction of the angry wind, the heavy rain followed immediately
“Fuccckkkkkk” Lucas groaned in pain
“What is happening?” Derek yelled trying to push his way to Lucas because of the intensity of the wind
“I just lost my f*****g palm, my clawsssss” Lucas cried amidst the rain
A surge of flood came rushing towards them
“Let's go! Let's go” Derek beckoned. The werewolves both ran back to the castle
“Where is his head?” Selene asked immediately, as Derek and Lucas arrived
“He was almost dead, I tried to finish him up but before I could, lightning struck my claws off, followed by an angry rain, look” Lucas stretched his chopped claw out to the Luna
“Nonsense” Selene furiously scratched Lucas on his face with her claws leaving lines and blood dripping from the wound
“Who cares about your stupid claws? You had just one job and you failed, you incompetent lying peasants”
“He is not lying Luna, he's telling the truth” Derek defended
“Then how come it didn't rain over here? Lock them up” she commanded “ And go inside the woods, make sure you find Horace’s dead body”
“No way” Akira cried “He can't be dead”
“The girl is a witch, and we all know how dangerous she could be if we let her live” Selene announced to the pack
“Then let’s kill her”
“She looks harmless though”
“We can slave her”
The members of the pack protested
“She would be killed”
“No, please,” Akira pleaded. I have no powers left in me, I was stripped of my powers in my coven, I can't hurt anyone please spare me”
“Now she lies, just to save her sorry ass,” Orion said
“I'm telling the truth please, if I was still powerful, why haven't I saved myself ?”
“Very well then. I believe you” the Luna responded
“Thank you so much”
“That means we have to kill the child” she gave a shocker
“What? Why? He's just a baby” Orion asked surprised
“Don’t be stupid Orion, that child has the blood of a witch and an alpha which means when he come of age, he might destroy us, he is a hybrid”
“Oh! I never thought of that”
“The child would be buried alive” Selene announced
“Nooooooooo” Akira cried “Don’t hurt my child, give him back”
“Lock her up and bury the child” Selene commanded
Akira tried to get to her pup who was now crying in the hands of one of the werewolves but she was stopped by members of the pack who dragged her to the floor while she hesitated to follow them
“Let me go” she protested but she was too weak to fight anyone
“But mother, don't you think this is too much”
“Oh shut it Orion, don’t be chicken-hearted like your father. You must do everything you can to get everything you want”
“What are you waiting for?” the Luna stared daggers at the pack members who seemed reluctant “Bury the child” she growled
“Yes Luna”
Few of the pack members took the pup to the back of the castle and dug a shallow grave, placed the child inside, and poured sand bit by bit into the grave
“I feel so sorry for him”
“Yeah, he never got to experience the beauty of life”
“You mean the horror of the crescent moon pack?”
“Hahaha, it's not that bad”
“No its not, it’s evil, the Luna is extremely evil”
“Well, we have to finish this job else we'll be dead before sunrise”
Kyron wailed as he was being buried but his cries fell on deaf ears and the grave was sealed
“Help me please” Akira cried in the cell where she was locked up “Anybody”
It was almost sunrise, and Akira was still in the cell, hungry, suicidal; she wished she could just die together with Horace and her pup. She lay down, helpless, with bruises all over her body from being dragged on the floor. ‘Why am I still here? Why am I still alive?’ she thought and hoped someone somewhere would provide answers to her questions
She opened her eyes to the sound of footsteps approaching the cell
“Who’s there?” she asked faintly
“Hey witch girl” Odessa, a member of the pack responded “Shhhh, I brought you food” She dropped a plate of food on the doorstep of the cell “Hurry up, I don't want to leave a trace”
Akira hungrily ate the food within seconds while Odessa stood there and watched
“Thank you so much,” she said immediately after she finished eating
Odessa picked up the plate, turned her back to leave
“Wait,” Akira stopped her. “Can you help me? I need to see my child”
“He’s dead and buried”
Her heart ached immediately she heard those words “I know” She swallowed hard “Can you take me to his grave, please”
“If I'm caught I'm dead”
“ I promise you won't get caught, it's just for a few moments, everyone is still asleep”
“Okay fine, I'll go get the keys, stay put”
