Chapter 61

Eloise’s p.o.v

I looked around for who said that.

No one.

There was absolutely no body.

“Hello? Who is there?” Still no response.

“Me.. Melissa? Are you there?” Nothing. Instead, I was thrown into a random vision

“What do you mean she isn’t breathing!” I stood still, barely breathing. I could not loose her now, not when I had just got her.

“Gamma I’m trying-“

“Well try harder!” I growled. There was no bloody way I was going to give her up not now, not ever.’ I thought, panicking.

“You are not fit to stand by my side” my best friend of twenty nine years said looking me dead in the eyes.

“Excuse me?” I said still in shock, still not believing what he just told me.

“I wish it wasn’t this way Cammy. But the pack is scared of you.” I knew where he was going with this, but I was not ready listen.

“Don’t do this, you know this pack is my life! I would lay down my life for this pack!” and in truth, I had done that, not once, not twice. It didn’t bother me though. I would do it over and over again if it meant they got to be safe.

“I know that Cammy! But that does not calm the people’s fears! One moment you’re a ticking bomb and the next you want cuddles from the pups. You hurt a pack member the other day because he said something offensive to you! You know we can’t do that” he looked tired, as though he did not know what to do, or want to do it.

“look, it’s just till you get your mate at least we’d know you would be a little more stable.” He looked at me with a look of regret. We both knew that at this point, it was almost impossible. As much as it pained me to admit it that I might never meet my mate, it was the truth. I had long passed the age of mate finding. Many wolves my age were already either having a pup or sending theirs to high school, for those that found their mates as early as eighteen.

“Who would handle pack duties and support you?” I looked at him, trying to not make it obvious that I was pissed.

“Jerry” he said in a breath

“What! Definitely not! That moron barely knows his left from his right! He is barely carrying out his gamma duties right! You want to add another responsibility to that!” I was seething at this point.

“no, you are going to take his place and handle his duties.”

“You’re…. Demoting me?” I looked at him in shock. It was one thing to remove me because of the situation. But to remove me completely? That was more disgraceful..

“Cammy…”

“No Aaron!” I yelled moving out of his reach as he moved to hold me. “I don’t care what the pack said! You are the alpha! You could have stood your ground” I shook my head feeling very betrayed.

Suddenly, I didn’t see him as a best friend, I saw him as a traitor, someone who was willing to stab me at the back to keep himself safe.

“ I know you’re pissed off right now, but control your tongue. You will address me with respect!” he growled out. I could see his eyes flash gold.

I bowed my head in respect and left his office. There was no way I was going to take this.

I carried my car and drove off. I needed to clear my head. I broke the speed limit not even caring what was going to happen. It not like much could happen anyway. Everyone living in the area were wolves. If by a mistake they got hit, they could very easily get back to their feet.

With that thought in mind, I drove like there was no tomorrow.

I was going to be stripped off my title and given a lesser rank, everything I had worked for was going down the drain.’ The thought of it made me grip the wheels tighter and increase my speed, which I did not even know was possible.

All my sweat, sleepless nights, every thing was for naught.

I began to feel restless but I didn’t think much into it. It was just because I was upset.

I didn’t know how it happened or how I didn’t see it but before I knew what was happening, I hit someone.

“Fuck!” I yelled from panic.

“They are beautiful are they not?” the voice called again.

“who are you?” I asked again.

I was starting to get weaker with all the visions I have been having.

“I don’t know, that would be for you to decide.

“You know, I really like this whole hide and seek? But I must say, the prophecy does not do your beauty any justice.” I turned tm the voice, and there stood a little woman.

“Who are you?” I asked moving back a bit in order to be cautious.

“Well, considering I plagued your mind for a while, I thought you would remember me.” She said coming closer to me.

That was when I started to notice the small details.

Her face scarred a little, the little overweight she had, the darker hair,

*Dorothy?” I said. She usually used different forms to appear to me but this, this was new. Never, apart from the visions had I ever seen her real face..

“it is time, I hope you are ready. I have given you all I need to know about the war”

“I don’t understand. Those visions.?”

“They were my life, my mistakes, I let my love for Deloris blind me. I thought that maybe, just maybe.” She took in a deep breath.

“I thought it was Lord Allen?” I looked at her confused. The visions made it look like she was mates with Lord Allen, or at least she and Lord Allen were in love.

“I gave him up” she said shaking her head painfully bad though she was in physical pain. “I gave him up because I thought that I could live the king freely.

She then shook her head again

“That’s besides the point” she said and then held my hands tightly. I was kind of shocked at the Swift movement because she was about eight steps away from me. “the most important thing you have to know is this, no matter what you do, no matter who you chose.” She gripped my hands further. “do not let live cloud your judgement. Please.”

“Dorothy…” she shook her head again and then took a step back. “This war, our war. It would take from us, those we love, those we cherish, it would unleash things in us. Things we never knew we had. Embrace them” I could not help but notice that she was talking In first person.

“We?” I asked looking at her for answers but she didn’t answer.

“I really hope you would be able to make the right decisions. We are counting on you” she said and vanished. I looked around, wondering where the fuck she went to…
