Chapter 39: Caught

You gave me your word Edward, you gave me your word to give me whatever I want if the power of the stones don’t work” Meredith said.

“No Meredith, you can’t tell me that didn’t work, you cannot tell me that” Edward said as he looked through the window of his throne room in a low voice as he didn’t want anyone to hear their conversation.

“Well, it didn’t work” Meredith said with a cold look on her face to show him that there was no negotiating with her but he moved to negotiate anyways.

“What if I get you the half of the stones power?” Edward said and Meredith paused for a while thinking about it carefully, she imagined how powerful Skylar would be if he had the power of all four stones.

“If it doesn’t work this time, you know what I’ll do” Meredith said.

“But I thought this was the end of …” Edward was talking when she cut him off.

“Nothing ends this until I get what I want” Meredith said, turned and walked away.

Edward was devastated and he needed to look for a way to make sure that he get those stones and he found the perfect plan. Edward convinced Meredith to make him sick with the common flu to make him convince the alphas that he was at the point of death.

Edward brought the matter to the council and they all kicked against it because they saw him as a selfish person, he went to the edge to force them to do it but still there was no good result.

Meredith grew impatient and when she asked Edward he couldn’t provide and reasonable explanation as to why he couldn’t get the stones for her so she made his sickness worsen, she made him very sick that he was unable to move around like every other person.

Edward announced his heir and when Meredith heard of it she was troubled and was prepared to do anything to make Skylar an alpha. She used a drug on Skylar which made him very hungry for blood, he wasn’t aware that he was a vampire until that night and he went on a killing spree thereby making himself almost a thousand soldiers of human hounds.

Few day later, Edward dies and Skylar returns home to take his self proclaimed place as Alpha, he sends assassins after Edgar and they succeeded in their mission. On the name day ceremony, he was proclaimed as alpha and king of the red stone pack. Meredith felt a rush of joy and peace full she heart when she saw him sit on the throne.

But her peace was short lived when she found out Edgar was still alive, she used her magic to put the idea into Hayley’s head to make Skylar bring her as a witch to help him perform the spell to make Edgar never change back to his human form.

Skylar and Edgar were not relations by blood so all she could do was make his wolf grow smaller and weaker as she bought time to find a way to end him completely, she was very much eager to find Edgar and in the process she found Elaine too and she tried to use her magic to extort the great power Elaine exuded but she couldn’t.

Meredith sought deeper as to why Elaine was able to block her magic, so she searched more about her and found out that she was the chosen one by the gods since after Darius to help another war to come and the man she shall be consummated with, will be the greatest werewolf warrior to ever walk the surface of the earth.

She wanted to make sure that this girl marries Skylar because she wanted him to even be more powerful than he already was so she decided to track down Elaine. She tracked her to a small human village just outside the borders of the White stone pack house and she told Skylar.

Skylar sent men after Elaine and wanted her to be brought to him at all cost, he sent them everywhere in the four lands and finally they found her in her aunts place in the white stone pack house.

They offered her aunt a deal to pay her if she gives Elaine up, Meredith put her under a spell to make sure she accepted and she did immediately. Sapphire heard of it and before they could realize it, she was already on the run and the human hounds chased her down till she fell into the waterfall and was found by Edgar.

Meredith didn’t stop there she obeyed Skylar’s orders to find wherever Elaine was hiding apparently, she was going to be with Edgar. They needed them both and they were going to do anything to get them, it took Meredith a while to track them down because Elaine’s power was always blocking her magic.
