Ashes To Vegeance

Chapter five

No one could dare move closer to help me in the presence of Ariana except Alpha. He held me

in his arms, grief-stricken and helpless.

"You are innocent, my luna," he whispered, tears streaming down his face. "I believe you."

Bring me the pack's healer"! He yelled,

"I'm carrying your heir in my belly." My words were already fainting; each gasp was a struggle

for life until my breath gave out.

My consciousness faded but only to awaken in a new body.

*******

Those scientists that discovered that you are conscious even after five minutes of death were

right!

I died a few minutes ago, and I can still see Alpha, Ariana, Robert, Nina, and the elders of the

pack as they shake their heads, gawk at me, and begin to humiliate my dead body.

Alpha Alex left my dead body as he walked away silently.

"That's bad, to think she actually planned to poison Ariana and the unborn child," one of the

elders standing mumbled, hissed, and let out, "Some ladies are really wicked; let's get the

servant to pack her body in one place."

'But I was innocent!' I screamed out, but as we all know that the dead can't talk, my screaming

remained muted inside me.

'Let her dead body be tossed inside the thick forest, as she is just a nobody without a trace of

any family member eventually, after all her pack has been destroyed,' Ariana mumbled with a

straight face and left the room.

Vanity upon vanity, what an opportunity misused; this is what wicked people like you deserve,'

one of the elders in the pack mumbled, and then gestured to the rest to leave my dead body.

Nina paused to look at my body once again, shook her head in guilt, and raced after the

outgoing people.

She only came to bear false witness.

The room was bathed in a comfortable silence until a sudden draft swirled, like a whispered

secret summoned my soul from its wanderings, whisked me around, my feet leaving the ground

for a while until everything became darker.

The Goddess of the Moon enveloped my spirit in a warm, ethereal light. "Your heart was pure,

your soul is kind," the goddess whispered. "You will be given another chance to live again.

REINCARNATE AS NAOMI

My environment is cold and lousy. I felt a strong push inwardly to my stomach, like a sudden

punch.

I tried to open my eyes, but it appeared they were glued together, and none of the parts of my

body responded to the instruction from my brain.

'What's happening to me?' I asked in total resignation to my condition that was about to drift into

unconsciousness when someone opened my mouth again and breathed in air. After what

seemed like an endless struggle. I took a shallow breath, and my eyes fluttered open as I

coughed up water and slowly regained consciousness.

The group breathed a collective sigh of relief. With a gasp, I took my first breath, feeling the rush

of life and the weight of my new existence. As I looked up at the faces surrounding me, I knew I

had been given a second chance at life; memories flooded my mind, both mine and my new

body's.

My spirit was drawn to a distant realm, where a young woman, Naomi, who is a deaf-mute, lay

dying. Naomi is among the newly selected set of servants just allocated by the Creek pack and

on their way to the pack to serve as the pack's maid.

"How are you?"

A young lady who was holding me asked as she was trying to wrap me with a big wrapper. I

decided not to talk, knowing full well that Naomi is deaf-mute.

Of course, she wasn't expecting me to respond; she was crying and pulling me closer and

closer.

"Do you know how scared I was?" Her eyes were overflowing with tears as she held on to my

cheeks and kept staring at me.

I tried to check through Naomi's memory to identify her. She's Valerie, Naomi's elder sister

Ariana's mother is their stepmother, as their mother died of shame and guilt a while after she

gave birth to Naomi, not only because their mother gave birth to Naomi, a deaf-mute, but also

because she's a female.

Their father was so desperate to have a son that would carry on the family's legacy that he

married Ariana's mother, but she failed to give him a son as well after the first child.

They later got to know that Ariana's mother had killed both their father and mother; now the daughter

Ariana, is bringing both of them to the Creek pack to serve her as servants.

"Ariana must be more wicked than I ever thought; she must have inherited this wickedness from

her mother," I whispered to myself. Many thoughts swirled in my head, memories came flooding

back, from the destruction of my pack and the killing of my father to becoming a slave and the

wrong accusation that led to my death all crashed over me like a tidal wave of memories.

In a moment, I remembered I was carrying a baby, but there was no way I could confirm again if

the baby was still in my belly, knowing full well that Naomi could not speak. Upon trying to

mutter a word, I noticed that I could speak but decided not to speak.

I prayed silently to the Goddess Mother to please keep the baby inside of me safe.

A mix of hope and doubt formed my prayer.

My eyes burned with a fierce determination, driven by a thirst for revenge. A sudden strong

force pushed Valerie away from my side. Something rose inside of me like a burning fire I could

not explain. It's been a while since I transformed into my werewolf nature, being overwhelmed

with the sudden love Alpha Alex showed me. I lost my sense of living for that period and tried to

embrace the new life only to find myself again at the other side of the world.
