Chapter 143

Adara's pov:

As we rode  closer to the bloodclaw pack, George asked everyone to stop and we executed our last plan.  George suggested that everyone should walk in separate way and pretend not to know each other until we got to the rescue scene. Immediately after that, all the soldiers dissemble and disgust into a trader's uniform. George also suggested that I should hide in Vill so that no one could recognize me. I did as George had suggested and we all proceeded on our journey. Few minutes later, we finally got to the bloodclaw's pack and we were stopped by a soldier. 

“Stop there, where are you coming from, and where are you heading to?” one of the soldiers shouted pointing at us. 

I and George looked at each other's faces with thoughts in my mind. “Why is it that the soldiers were guarding the boundary so much?  even if the Alpha was actually mating he shouldn't have secured the boundary so much till this extent.” I thought to myself. 

"Can't you see…  what do we look like to you" George gloated, trying to play with the soldiers.

The soldier looked so angry and moved closer to search us. Just as he was searching, a man rode faster on his horse trying to pass through the border. 

“After him!" The commander of the soldiers shouted and some soldiers ran after the stranger who broke  in. 

Immediately after that the soldier commander moved closer to us searching for our horses. “Who do you say you are?" 

"Chou!” I coughed slowly and said to him in a low voice. " We're traders, we have come from a long distance to support Alpha on this great occasion. I and my other crew members were here to support the alpha” I explained. 

“I'm sorry the alpha as ordered that no one should enter" the soldier responded looking so worried. 

“Hmmm" I took a deep breath and looked so confused about how to convince him. 

“Do you really know what you're saying? How could you stop us , I trust you wouldn't if you know who we're" George said Just as I was about to talk. 

“Who are you, don't you call yourself a trader? There's no market today, the alpha is mating with his mate" the soldier said angrily. 

“Mating!, but I heard that alpha couldn't mate with anyone due to a prophecy” I responded pretending as if nothing.

"Oh no, that's a long time ago. But now the Alpha must mate to lift a curse" the soldier responded.

“Really? What cuse is that" I shrugged.

"Do you say you're a trader ? Was it your first time here? Even people that had never come here know of it” the soldier responded.

"Hmmm” I took a deep breath wondering what the curse might be. After a deep thought and couldn't find out, George speaks up and saves my ass. 

“Do you mean the peach burning and heavy thunderstorm that befalls the entire pack and causes chaos at the Alpha's chamber?" George asked. 

"Yes it is, I heard that God's anger and  Lord Jameson's treason act was the one behind it. According to the priest, the gods are angry because lord Jameson betrayed his brother by trying to secure the crown for  himself and also the gods are angry because Alpha Ashir killed his true mate by sending her to the vampire. To lift the curse and to restore werewolf honor, the alpha must be mated to a princess from the night shadow's pack and also sacrifice his brother as a ritual during the full moon” the soldier explained. 

“Wow, how could this be" I said emotionally knowing how corrupted the entire pack was through Malachi’s negative influence.

“Do you say lord Jameson would be sacrificed today?" I asked.

"Yes he'll be sacrificed. I wonder if he hadn't been sacrificing by now” the soldier responded.

Upon hearing this, I was so sad and was thinking about the way to pass through the guard without a war. I looked far and I could see how the soldiers were all matched and stayed in all angels. 

“Do you say you're the commander soldier here?" I asked intentionally, pretending as if I had forgotten.

" Yes I'm, no one could paas here  without my permission” the soldier responded.

As we were discussing, the other soldiers from the waterfall pack who had already become disgusted as a trader joined us by negotiating with the guards who were entering. 

George looked a bit worried where he was right beside me and I'm really worried too about missing anything at the mating scene. George became angry as the delay was out of control and tried to drag his sword but I stopped him from doing so. Assuring him that we'll be passing soon. 

“Do you say the alpha is mating soon, where was that?" I asked uncertainty.

“Hmm" the soldier took a deep breath feeling frustrated by the conversation.

“Are you telling me that you know nothing about the alpha's mating with princess Mitchel from the night shadow’s pack and this would have happened at the shrine in front of people and the gods” the soldier responded.

" Really?, what does the alpha look like?” I asked disgustingly, pretending that I knew nothing.

“Hmm, I don't really see the Alpha much, but I heard that he's kind of arrogant and unpredictable. He's kind of cool who falls for a mere human and a stranger who breaks her heart? “ the soldier responded. 

“Hmm okay, what about Luna, her mate?" 

I asked.

"Her Luna is princess Mitchel like I said, she's kind of beautiful and charming” the guard responded. 

“Wow, that's amazing," I said excitedly, pretending that I knew her. “Could you let me in and see her myself?" I asked.

"Hmmm” the commander looked speechless, feeling frustrated and didn't know what to do. He couldn't send us away likewise he's avoiding the risk of letting us in. Upon realizing his mood, I quickly move closer to him and give him some money. The corrupted soldier commander let us in after giving him some money as a token of our appreciation. 

“Have this and let us in,I promise more when I return" I said to him. 

“Wow, you're so lovely," the commander said. The soldier responded with a great smile on his face. He brought out a map  that would lead me to the shrine without passing the main road. 

“Hey have this, just for you alone and not the communes. Please just go in peace without causing a scene and go back to your pack after that" he explained and handed me the map. 

“Wow, this is amazing" I responded feeling so happy about the map and was at the same time sad that I couldn't go with the other crew. 

“I'm sorry I can't go inside here alone else I'll get lost, I'm totally new to this pack and I can't just go alone even with the map, I really have to go with my crew members" I pleaded looking so emotional.

“Hmm okay" the prison guard said with wordiness taking over him. Having realized that he had no option, tha soldier guard allowed me to enter with my crew. 

“Thank you, I promised that you'll never regret this," I said to him. 

I, George and five other members ride in through the secret place while five passes through the main road. The rest of the crew were hidden at the boundary for security purposes in case something went wrong. Thoughts in my mind about Ashir as we passed through the hidden tunnel and almost got to the shrine.
