Chapter 30
GEORGE
I had to let a few tears escape my eyes.
“When all the rouges either left or were dead, I ran to find Faith gasping for breath, she died in my arms. I looked up and saw Archer carrying Mila, she wasn’t moving. She was dead too.” There were gasps. “What do you mean she was dead?” asks a shaken and confused Luna.
I turn around and look at them “Mila was dead, we were in grief until a woman came to us in white, she called herself the Moon Goddess” everyone’s faces turned white but they didn’t say anything “The Moon Goddess I know is some god to you wolves but when she looked over Faith and Mila she was hit with grief, she said that there is a way to save the young one, while holding her. She looked at Archer and told him that he could share his heart with her, since he was her protector he could save her.”
There were emotionless faces looking back at me and really confused ones too but I carried on “The Moon goddess asked for Drack’s help, when Drack came forward. I never thought I would ever witness a dragon cry. He was happy to help Mila, before he could do it, there was a bright light and right in front of us was Faith, she came forth in front of us all next and stood next to the Moon Goddess, smiling. She wanted to watch the most amazing thing to happen to her daughter. Drack took half of his heart from his chest and the Moon Goddess placed it into Mila.”
I was interrupted by someone, “I never heard of a dragon giving half its heart to anyone” says Dane “It sounds like a movie”
I sigh “It does sound far fetch I know but what most of you wolves don’t understand is Mila has some witches blood in her as she was not only a descendant of the Moon Goddess but her grandmother was a very high grand witch too. When you mix a wolf, dragon and witch together you would get a powerful being” I said “I never seen anything like it, but as soon as Drack gave some of his blood they were connected. Drack turned back into Archer who kneeled down and kissed Mila on her head. The Moon Goddess told us the magic will work once both Mila and Archer rest. Archer had to leave and rest, he needed to have his energy and would come back to help her when she needed it but the Moon Goddess was not even finished, she told us of some evil dark sorcerer who will hunt anything living supernatural who shows any form of magic. We all had to swear to protect Mila, another blood oath, but the day would come when there will be wars but one will decide Mila’s fate.”
“When the Moon Goddess left, we were left stunned waiting for Mila to wake up and grieving for those we lost” I sigh “She didn’t wake up for over a few weeks, Archer was exhausted and needed to go into hidding as his dragon needed to hibernate. He told me, Mila would wake up but needed to rest. He would awake when it was time and she would come to find him” I said looking around at come really weird and confusing faces.
“So Mila has gone to find Archer” asks Emily.
“Yes daughter, she has. Sapphire knows where to go as the magic within her will guide her. Archer is coming out of hibernation and he will help us or mainly Mila” I said.
“You said you made a blood oath with Faith” said Luna Sophie suddenly.
I nod at her “I did, she came to me after the fight with the three rogues by the cabin, she told me to keep her oath but before the Moon Goddess left after Mila was recovering, Faith asked me to keep her blood oath running till Mila turned 18, the blood oath came with a twist. She wanted Mila to forget what happened and to wipe her memories but they would flood back when Archer wakes from his hibernation.”
Everyone was trying to wrap their heads around everything I just said, they all the stunned faces.
“You said there will be a war, what war?” Asks Nate, I realized he had been really quiet thrugh out and since I told them I told tehm about Mila.
“Ah the war, I guess you have tried to integrate the rouges you captured to find out who they are working for” he nods “well we did the same but I used magic to get some answers out of one very stupid rouge who spilled all to us. He was working for Devon and Yariel. They both have been trying to find Archer over the years but they hit every dead end. They seem to believe that Mila is dead. Devon has become obsessed with looking around the town; he must have gotten word that a white wolf is around. They don’t know about the heart of the dragon as we never mentioned it, due to the blood oath. They were sending wolves out here to test the boundaries of your pack, I think they will recruit more rouges.”
I look at him and say “I do need to talk to you in private”
He looks up at me and nods.
“I know this is a lot of information to take in. I think its best we all rest up and wait for Archer and Mila to come back. And I for one would like to be with my family” I say but I turn to the Alpha, “Alpha Leon, me and the rest of the town people will help you in this war but I will state one thing you need not to mention about everything you just heard as it could get back to Devon, it will help and also a reminder Mila chooses her destiny not you. I might not be her family by blood but I love that girl as if she was my own and I will kill you if you try anything” I turn to walk out but Alpha Leon stops me “I won’t mention what was said here in the office to anyone and I won’t say anything to her, I won’t mess with her destiny. I believe she is the savior for both my pack and the town. I am ashamed of the way I have acted when I found out but the stories we hear as children about the white wolf are made for our history but I will accept whatever she decides to do” he says and I nod towards him.
I step towards my wife and smile, I hold her in my arms. After a little while, we walk out the door but Nathaniel follows us into the corridor “George I didn’t know she was my mate, I know it was no excuse for my actions and I am completely guilty in every way. I want Mila in my life and I will try everything to make it happen but I will let her decide on what she wants. I would rather stay as her mate and she leaves than not have her in my life and her hating me” he says. I look at him, he is definitely a strong young Alpha but he bared his true self to me. I'm amazed that his wolf is being so willing “Nate, your wolf, would he be so happy with you with what you just said to me?” The look of pain in his face says it all and I can see his wolf come through “Mate mine, I want mate. Stupid human didn’t listen. I will help human help mate see us.” And like that his wolf retreats leaving Nate looking at me.
“I think your wolf will help you get Mila back and I'm going to be honest, I think you are a good man young Alpha but you need to cut ties with that girl, if I see her anywhere near here I will kill her” I say but he cuts me off “You don’t have to worry about that, my mum, Luna Sophie has sent for her and her family to come to the office within the next hour. They all are going to be banished from the territory due to what we found out about Alyssa with her schemes on my younger brother and her power trip on being my luna” he says with a snarl.
I nod “That’s ok young Alpha.”
I was about to leave when I hear “George, when will Mila be back?” He asks. I look back at him and see tears behind his eyes; this kid really does care about Mila “I don’t know young Alpha, hopefully soon.” I say and turn back to be with my family.
I turn around and see my little family standing outside a room; I'm assuming that this is ours. We settle into the room. I watch as my wife showers and gets into bed afterwards. Emily has gone to stay in another room which she shared with Mila, I hope that mate of hers doesn’t do anything or is with her.

After a few hours, I am looking up at the ceiling, Sybil sleeping soundly next to me. I get up out of bed and grab my phone. I walk into the bathroom; I run the taps so she or anyone else can’t hear me.
I ring the number, I know I have to tell her. All I could do for the last few hours was not to ring her. I couldn’t do it all those years due to the blood oath that the stupid Moon Goddess and Faith placed but now I can tell her everything, she needs to know what happened all those years ago.
