Chapter 7: A MIRACLE SILVER WOLF
I am much much better than I was when I came here.
I can now feel flesh on my bones and my wounds are almost healed.
What made me take this long without getting better was all the wolf's bane that had been pumped in my system.
But with this Pack's doctor's help, I am all better.
That magical garden of theirs helped too.
This garden has all types of herbs you could think of.
According to Aurora, it blooms all year round and there is this nice smell always.
"The sick wolves or those who are pregnant come here and it helps.
It will also help you in recovering quickly," Aurora explained as she took me there for the first time.
That wolf, the king of the pack, came again to my room.
He looked at me for like a second and then avoided my gaze. I have no idea why.
Sasha was all excited as she cooed but the fact that he ignored us helped me convince her that like Logan, he also didn't want us.
I wonder why the goddess hates me so much.
She knows that I am a weak omega but all the time, she pairs me to these kings who don't want me.
It's not that I want them either. No. In fact, if I was asked, I would choose to live alone.
That way, no one would get hurt if I died or got hurt. It would be just me and that's it.
But I am grateful to alpha Killian. He saved me and he isn't mistreating me or anything.
He has given me somewhere to live and Aurora is an angel. She treats me so well and makes me miss Alana this much more.
This is because she is like Alana all over again.
She doesn't care that she is a princess and that I am a mere omega with no background.
All she cared about is I get better.
She doesn't even pressure me to tell her where I am from or why I was in the state I was in when her brother found me.
No.
She said, "I am sure you will talk when you are ready to."
She's such an darling.
This pack is located deep in a forest just like any other wolf pack. They do this to avoid prying eyes from humans and all.
There is Killian, the alpha, and Kira his beta.
This one is stronger and is already married unlike his king who isn't.
According to Aurora, there is something keeping Killian from getting married. She wouldn't tell me what but she says like my secret, Killian will also tell me when and if he wants to.
I guess that means that I will never know.
This is because I don't ever picture myself having any time of a conversation with the alpha to a point that he would tell me his secrets.
No way. Not with the way he also hates me.
Anyway...
According to Aurora, the pack has less than a thousand members.
This is because, when Killian challenged the then alpha and his father, for the top most seat, many were calling him a child and a traitor and they fought on their father's side.
Many wolves died and those who weren't royal to Killian were killed and others ran away.
What gives Killian the advantage is the fact that he is a Lycan and thus very strong.
"Those who remained have reproduced and the pack has grown in numbers and even resources," Aurora told me as we took a walk one day.
"Why did you brother challenge your father for the seat? Couldn't he have waited for his time to become the King?" I wondered aloud and Aurora chuckled.
I could tell that there was a bitter story behind that laugh.
"It's a long story and today isn't the time to tell it," she said and I didn't push.
She will tell me when she is ready and when it's time.
"Anyway, I am happy that my brother is the king now," she said and I didn't ask.
What I have learnt so far is that there is a story behind every happy face you see.
I wouldn't be quick to judge people given what I have been through.
I have told Aurora my plan though she doesn't agree with me.
I haven't told her exactly what has been happening to me but I hinted that I needed to clear my name.
So, this is the plan as I told it to Aurora: I want to get better and strong.
Then, I will train, if she allows me.
After I get strong enough, I will go back to my former pack. The main reason of going back there will be to prove that I didn't kill Alana.
By now, I am sure that Logan has already broken the mate bond between us because I can feel that I am free of him though I didn't agree to his rejection. He rejected me and our mate bonds work only if both mates are in on it.
So when I go back, that won't affect me.
Also, my plan isn't to go directly to the pack. No. That would make me their slave allover again because they are stronger than me.
I will hide.
I really don't know where or how to start with the investigations but I must. If not for me, for Alana and my dad.
Both died because of me. I have to make sure that they didn't die for nothing. It is time I manned up.
Aurora doesn't agree with me going back.
All I told her was that I was wrongly accused of killing someone and I had to clear my name.
"Tamia, you can't go back. We have to wait for my brother and then we can ask for his help.
You will be killed by that girl's family if you go back alone," Aurora said with worry written. all over her face.
"You are just an omega, no offence but you know what I mean, you are too weak to go and try to fight alone.
So, please don't go.
Let us wait for Killian. I am sure that he will help you," she added and I knew that she made sense but I couldn't wait.
"How sure are you that he will help me? He doesn't even know me," I argued.
"There is a way. Take an oath and become part of our pack and he will be obliged to help," Aurora said with a smile and I didn't know that she was this scheming.
She had a point though.
Becoming part of this pack would mean that I had a family. I didn't want to become a rogue and it was clear that Logan didn't want me as part of his pack.
So, becoming part of the Midnight Pack it was!
