Chapter 38
Third Person
Aziz woke up early and ordered their breakfast. He did get a good night's sleep after talking to Mica over the phone. He missed her so much and wanted to go home, but he knew that he had to look into a possible hideout of some vampires and gather some information about the vampire king. He wanted to make sure that they would be able to get something valuable with this mission and now that they had already found his last sibling, they still needed to train and be ready for the vampire’s attack.
“Alpha, we are ready.” Reeves said as he and the three warriors entered the room.
“Let’s eat, we still have a long way to go,” Hera said after she was done preparing the food. They sat and started to dig in while making some plans.
“Alpha, have you talked to Luna?” Reeves asked, concerned.
“Yes and she was worried about me and Hera. I had already told her about Lexis and she was excited about seeing her.”
“Then we need to start working. You know how impatient Luna was,” he replied,
“She’s not impatient. You just don’t understand her,” Hera said,
“Now, I am really curious about her.” Lexis said, “She’s a human and hates us. No wonder she had a hard time accepting this man here. You’re lucky that being a human didn’t excuse her from feeling and experiencing the bond. If not, I don’t know if you will be able to make her come to you,” she added. “I have been living with humans for years, so I know how they are. They can do whatever they want to do, they can deny their feelings. I mean, they could say that they didn’t like the person, but deep inside they do and you can’t even tell the truth.” she continued.
“That’s what I told him, too.” Hera agreed. “But Lexis, are you sure that you didn’t like the beta?” the woman in question just shrugged her shoulders and I saw Hera smirk. So she does like her mate.
“Why did you have to hurt him like that if you wanted him?” I asked,
“I never said that I wanted him!” she exclaimed and we all laughed. She was so defensive. “What about you, Hera, what’s going on between you and that Alpha?” she asked instead.
“He doesn’t like me because I am an omega,” she said with her head down.
“You’re faster than him, and with proper training, you will be able to fight fairly,” Lexis said,
“I know that. But I am not the kind who would want to train,” she replied,
“Let’s talk about that later.” I interrupted them. I didn't want Hera to think about anything else during this mission and asking her those questions would only make her mind occupied.
We got up and Reeves went out to pay for our stay at the inn. We have our goal to end this by today and get back to Lunar Pack to inform them of what had happened and plan the training Alpha Dom has requested.
A sense of anticipation hovered in the air as Alpha Aziz and the others reached human territory. They were aware that vampires were camped there, possibly with the assistance of a witch. It was critical to collect important information and validate the truth behind the captured vampires' admissions. They concealed their presence with stealth and caution, breaking into squads to cover more land.
Hera's ability to read people's minds made her a valued asset. She focused her telepathic abilities, reaching out to probe the minds of those there, looking for clues and finding buried truths. A stream of information flooded her consciousness as she probed into the vampires' and witches' minds.
Hera's consciousness is connected with Alpha Aziz's in the midst of her mental investigation. Their minds became entangled, allowing them to have an intimate dialogue that went beyond spoken words.
Hera's mind was filled with concern and determination as she remembered Aziz's voice. "Hera, be cautious; I believe in your abilities, but I am concerned for your safety; we must gather as much information as possible, but keep in mind that we need you here with us."
Hera's mental voice reacted confidently, repeating Aziz's fears. "I understand, Aziz. I will be cautious. We need to know their plans and alliances in order to protect our pack. I will do my best."
As Hera proceeded to read the vampires' minds, she discovered fragmented thoughts and glimpses of their intentions. To attain power, they planned to recruit more vampires and use the witch's terrible powers. The knowledge cemented the gravity of the peril they faced, confirming Aziz's suspicions.
Aziz's mental voice became more resolute, vibrating with purpose. "We cannot let them succeed; the safety of our pack depends on our actions. Gather what you can, Hera, and we will plan our next move accordingly."
Hera's views coincided with Aziz's determination. "I will gather the necessary information, Aziz, and we will rejoin our forces and strategize to face this threat head-on." She dug deeper into the vampires' and witches' thoughts, pulling crucial facts that would aid their fight against the increasing evil. The stakes were great, but her resolve was unyielding. Then withdrew her consciousness from the mental connections after what seemed like a lifetime, the weight of the knowledge she had learned settling on her. She looked at Aziz and delivered the critical information she had obtained, giving Aziz and the team a clear knowledge of the enemy's plans and potential flaws. The puzzle pieces began to fall into place, allowing them to devise a strategy that would give them an advantage in the upcoming conflict.
Alpha Aziz's gaze locked with Hera's, their unspoken bond conveying thankfulness and determination. "Thank you, Hera, for proving your abilities; we now have the knowledge we need to protect our pack and put an end to this threat."
Hera nodded, a determined look in her eyes. "We stand together, Aziz, and we will face this threat head-on and triumph."
Alpha Aziz, Hera, and the others prepare for the next encounter, with their plans in place and their determination strengthened. The battle against the vampires and their witch allies loomed ahead of them, but they were united in their commitment to preserve their pack and safeguard the safety of their loved ones.
