Chapter 15

I woke up with pains everywhere.

“AHHHHH!!!!!” It took me while to realize that the screams came from me.

“What’s happening to her!” I recognized the Boyce as Eric’s.

Chants were heard from the other side. “Make it stop!!!!” My whole body was on fire, my throat was dry, my lips felt like sand paper.

The chants got louder and louder.

Everything stopped.

The chants

The noise

The excruciating pain.

Then slowly, they started coming back. It first felt like ants were climbing up my body. Then the stings followed. Then the chants got louder and louder.

I turned to my right, Eric was being held down. He shifted half way, fur out but not fully, his teeth were down and he looked like he was ready to tear down the walls.

“help… me” I broke out. I needed to breathe.

That choking feeling soon came back. There was no way to free myself from the invincible force that held me down since my hands were bound.

…

After much struggle, everything turned white.

I shook my head several times to get rid of the white place. It didn’t seem to work.

Slowly, it started fading away. I was in a sunny area., There was blood everywhere. The stench of it was sickening. I could not think of anything other than the blood.

“Leave her be” I knew that sound. It was slowly becoming a part of me. It was Eric. He knelt down In the pool of his own blood. Clutching a woman. He had the brightest red hair ever, and the palest skin.

“It needs to be done. She would no longer be a threat.” She looked like me, but not exactly. She had a mixture of both Eric and I feature.

“No.” he said covering her with his body.

“Very well then, I would kill you then she right after…” I heard loud screams from a distance. I had to block the sound.

I yelled. A desperate part of me knew that I could not let them get hurt. But he more I screamed, the more I realized that they could not see me. …

Eric’s p.o.v

One moment she was struggling, the next moment everything was still. She wasn’t breathing, her body was still, too still if you’d ask me. I couldn’t hear a heartbeat.

Her body was suspended in an awkward position, so I knew that he was not completely dead, or was she.

It took me a second to comprehend what had happened..

My wolf was scratching the surface, trying to break free. I didn’t even bother with trying to restrain him. I was with him.

They killed my mate.

“Eloise!!” I screamed, my voice coming out with a bit of alpha command. “Wake up!!” I didn’t know what I expected to happen, using the alpha's command in her, but it certainly did not wake her up.

“Eloise!! Why aren’t you doing anything!!” the stupid witches were not even doing anything to help her. The person I supposed was her mum shocked me the most She just stood there, and did nothing.

She looked indifferent.

“Eloise!!” we had just met, not even started anything to begin the mating process, but the mating bond was still there, and my wolf felt it too.

I knew that if she didn’t make it, I was going to follow.

Slowly, she took in a deep breath. The awkward position she stilled into relaxed into a calm, more sleepy position.

It scared the shit out of me.

Was this it? Was she giving up the ghost?” I looked around, nothing or no one seemed to be alive.

“Hisn” she muttered strings of unintelligent words.

“we must check…” I cut the older one who had said it with a growl. “ the next person that tries to take a step closer to her is go to loose her life.”

I wasn’t a regular wolf. That was what everyone didn’t know. And I was going to keep.it that way, but they were going to find out the hard way if they kept pushing me.

Their magic might frighten a regular wolf, but not one with a royal blood.

“Listen here pup” I looked her dead in the eye. That seemed to do the trick.

~ian, prepare the car. We leave immediately” there was no way I was going to leave my mate in a place where they would rather watch her die than help.

He nodded a yes alpha.

I knew it was inconsiderate to tell him to do anything at the moment since he was tending to his newly injured mate, but I didn’t care. My mate came first.

Soon after, the car was ready and then, with little to no resistance they let me go.

“Hjskdn” she mumbled another string of unintelligent words

“Hang on, we’re almost home” I held her tightly, as if she was going to disappear if didn’t.

After hours, we reached the pack house..

Apart from the incoherent words she mumbled from time to time, there was no other sign that she was there

“Get the physician!” I yelled at the guards who greeted me at the entrance..

I put her down gently, careful not to hit her head. I was being paranoid since I was laying her on the bed, but I didn’t care.

She opened her eyes, revealing those grey orbs that just sucked you in without any warning and then gripped me tight.

It was the most painful grip I had ever had, but I decided not to focus on it.

“You’re up” I said very excited.

She was okay, she was not dead

She was not dying.

She was alive.

I felt the giddy feeling in my stomach.

“They are coming. War, war. The destiny must be fulfilled, you cannot run from it” it was as though many people were speaking at the same time. I was shook to my core.

“can you explain….”

She had fallen back into what felt like it was not in anyway a peaceful sleep

She kept tossing and turning, like she was looking for something to grab. “you can’t let them know, you can…..” again, she turned silent.

*Knock knock knock*

The physician was at the door.

Something didn’t feel right about the whole situation, so I rushed to the door before he could let himself in..

“My mate, she is unsettled in an unconscious state. Is there anything that I can do?” I said just before he could enter, using my body to push him out.

“Is she okay? I need to check her eyes. Her pulse, is she breathing well?” just tell me what to do. I don’t want anyone to see her yet.

“Alpha..”

“Just answer me!” I was getting jumpy

“Her eyes, check if they are pale. If they are blood shot. Then we might have a problem” I nodded and went back inside.

Checked the eyes as he instructed. Luckily, they weren’t pale.

“Ahhhhhhhh” an ear piercing scream that shook me to the core came out of her mouth. She started to shake.

“El.. Eloise!!! Calm down!!” She was still shaking in the table.

“Alpha! Is she alright?” he could feel my fear through the pack bond. I am pretty sure everyone did at this y.

And once again, her heart stopped. And her body went limb.
