Kristen's pov.

I sat down quietly in my room as I attended to my wounds, no matter how hard I tried to relieve the pain or heal the wounds, it only worsened each second, only an Alpha bite could be that powerful. 

Moments of how Dominic threw me to the wall and how he asked his sentinels to throw me in my room, tears rolled freely down my cheeks, it was just the fresh wound of the sudden breakup four years ago that had opened up, I could only feel the pain from the pang that gripped my heart. 

“Noah” I cried out as I slammed my head on the table. “I am sorry, I should have listened to you”. My phone immediately beeped. 

I stared at my phone on the bed as I staggered to my bed, my steps felt heavy with each step. The pain on my shoulder weighed me down as I gritted my teeth in pain, I couldn't bear the pain and I fell in agony as soon as I reached the bed.

The door opened revealing Rose as she stepped in with a large tray. “Hello my lady” She smiled as she walked in, and immediately her face flickered to a mixture of shock and confusion as she ran to me. 

“What happened to you?” She shouted as she dropped the tray. “Are you alright Miss?” She asked her tone laced with concern. 

“I am…” I paused as a sob choked up my words. “I am fine” I stuttered as I kept my eyelids up to avoid my tears falling.

“You don't look fine” she snapped as she turned to the tray. “I was wondering why Agatha would prepare this potion for you, I thought she was going to use it to threaten you, gosh, I almost threw it away” she explained as she took in a sigh of relief.

“I don't need it” I bolted out.

“You need it” She shook her head in disagreement. “That is a bite from an Alpha, you might be a mighty werewolf but a bite like that would only lead to death eventually, it cannot heal especially when you are not an Alpha or have an Alpha blood in you” she explained.

“That is the point” I snapped, as I clutched the stinging wound. “I have an Alpha blood in me, I don't care if Dominic is an Alpha but his bite isn't supposed to be this painful”. I explained.

“A rogue is working with a black witch, isn't that enough to show that most of the people in power are not normal, Gath, Jake, Dominic…” she paused. “Even the elders, you should stay away from them”. 

“Can you help me to pick up my phone?” I pleaded pointing to the phone. 

“Of course” she smiled as she reached for my phone. “It is a message from someone” she revealed handing me the phone.

“It is a voicemail mail” I smiled as I played it. “Hey mummy, it's Rizzie, I just want to say I miss you and I want you to come back home soon, I just want you to know that I will always love you, I hope you come back with Uncle Noah, please stay safe nobody is telling me anything but I know something is wrong. Please stay safe and come back to me”. 

I broke down in tears as fresh tears pooled out of my eyes, the one I cherish the most was the son of the one I hate the most. 

“Your son is a sweet boy,” Rose said as she pulled me into a hug. “It is going to be okay,” she said reassuringly as she patted my back.

“I can't do this”. I cried as I sank my face into her shoulder. “I want to go home, I can't do this”. 

“You can” she reassured me as tears threaten her eyes. “You need to be strong”. 

“I want to go back to my people”. I shook my head as I buried my face deeper. 

“And what happens if you go back to your people…” she paused as she glanced around. “I might get killed but I have no choice but to tell you, the rogues are planning something big, you are a rogue hunter, whatever they are planning is coming to pass because I heard some of the rogues said that their dreams are coming through, they said that Noah is finally out of the way, whatever they have been planning it is not a favor to mankind or any other existing creature”. She explained.

“I am not a hunter” I swallowed hard. “I am just a spoilt brat that lost her family, the council pampered me because I was the last person of my ancestor's line… Noah was right I am just a weak person”. 

“So do you want to give up?” She scoffed as her face flickered to frustration.

I held the shoulder as I felt a great pain from the continuous sting. “You weren't like this yesterday?” I scoffed releasing myself from her embrace.

Rose sat beside me as she took in deep breaths. “After I came here I had hopes that one day I would leave here but that dream only faded with each moment until it disappeared into thin air, I lost all hope but after I met you, after you became friends with me, I said to myself that you could help me, I felt company after a very long time, I realized that, that dream wasn't gone, it was just waiting for the right moment”. She explained.

“I gave you false hope” I scoffed as I swiped tears. 

“You didn't” she smiled. “You made me realize that I still have something to keep fighting for, you made me remember my family and why I need to leave here to see them …” she paused as she opened the lotion bottle. “You have your son and Noah to keep you fighting, don't give up”. She said handing the bottle to me. 

I stared blankly at the bottle, I felt a bit of encouragement from Rose's words. “You are right” I nodded in agreement as I took the bottle. 

“I think you should apply it yourself” she revealed. “Little tip alert, it stings a lot but it completely heals the scare” she added. 

“Heals the scare?” My mouth open in shock. “It doesn't look like something that could do much to this wound”. 

“That is called black magic” she explained. 

“If that is the case, I don't need it”. I frowned placing the bottle on her hand. “The more I see the scare, the more it reminds me where I truly belong and what would drive me to make sure I win this fight”. 

“What is the first thing I need to help you with?” Rose asked.

I stared at Rose for a moment, I knew I couldn't trust her but she was all I had now. “I want to make sure I get to know the Alpha”. I revealed.

“I can't tell you the Alpha”. Her face fell. “Agatha did something to me by his request so I can't mention his name, I am sorry”. 

“Can you write it?” I asked, my eyes widened in curiosity.

She shook her head. “I tried to write it once for you but I only ended up writing scribbles”. She revealed. “I am sorry”.

“You don't have to be sorry it is only necessary if they took great preventive measures…” I paused. “But is he.. Gath the one who loves kitty”. I asked, hoping she understood what I was trying to say. 

“If you are asking me if Gath is the Alpha, I can say that Agatha didn't care, she is playing a dangerous game of thrones to get the person at each their clutches”. 

“She wants to be used and not be used” I added.

“Exactly” she nodded in affirmation. “So if you are asking me who Gath is, I don't know him but Gath is not the Alpha of this pack”. 

“Can you describe the Alpha?”

“He is a pure definition of evil” she revealed. “The Dominic you know cannot be compared to the Alpha”. 

“Isn't there anything you can say to lead me to the Alpha?”

“The Alpha…” she paused as blood flowed through her eyes. “He is…” she struggled as she vomited blood.

“Rose?” My face flickered to fear. “Rose” I called as she slumped to the floor. “Rose”. I muttered as I felt dizzy. 

My vision narrowed into a pinprick as I could feel nothing but my faint heartbeats, the room spinning around me, I tried to get up but the wound's sting became more painful, and I could feel the venom flowing through my blood, finally I blacked out.
