Commodare donum luna.
Nil conteram nobis.
Ne mors.
Nemo.”
I watched him smirk before drinking something from a small bottle. My heart beat was changing the rhythm of its beat. Too fast and loud. No, its even faster each passing second.
“What are you doing?!” I screamed. My hands clutched on my chest as the beating started building a pain in my heart. It gotten hard to breathe as if the air around me was too thin, lacking.
“What-”
A cold black liquid flowed from my head to my face.
Suddenly, my heart stopped beating and my vision became blurry.
What is happening to me?
There’s a tingling pain striking into my heart but I don’t have enough force to even ache for it. But it hurts.
It hurts a lot.
I saw Elon laughed and speak something but I didn’t heard it as darkness enveloped my consciousness.
There’s only one word I uttered in my mind before fainting completely.
Aiden.
Aiden’s POV
We reached the Ravenous pack faster than expected. We stopped running upon reaching Ravenous lands, observing the surroundings for possible attacks.
I was too distracted since I can’t reach Ashira through our portal. Was she sleeping? Did Elon do something to her?
No, I don’t feel any pain so she’s definitely safe.
But why is she unresponsive?
“Aiden. There’s no guard.” Jacob said. He was standing next to me and my army was behind us. Nick was on my other side while Lucianna stands next to her mate. Zeke came with us and he was standing just behind me.
I looked around the perimeter of the Ravenous land and there was no guard at sight.
“What is happening here?” Nick whispered. “Its too quiet. And no one seems to be waiting for our attack. Or even ready.”
I gritted my teeth. Is this some kind of plan Elon has?
“Keep moving. Be mindful for any surprise attack.” I ordered and my army in their wolf forms howled.
We continued running until we reached the gate of the pack.
Still nothing.
“It’s questionably quiet.” Jacob observed.
The gate was even open and no one seemed to mind closing it for protection. This is far from what we expected to face.
I slowly walked inside the gate and no one came to attack me. Not a single soul in sight. I can feel the presence of the people, they are here. But they are not attacking us. Were they hiding?
A noise rumbling from of the house was heard and I moved into my fighting stance. Someone is coming.
I heard calming footstep walking closer. It’s not even running. And its just three person.
We waited until the three people come to the light and when I saw their faces, I already knew who they are.
Marion, Tharus and Shimla.
The Beta, Gamma and the female head of the guards of this pack.
Why does it seem to me that they are not trying to fight us?
“I came for my mate.” I said through gritted teeth.
The three stopped on a safe distance.
“We know you’re coming. No one of ours will fight with yours.” Marion answered.
My forehead knotted and I stood straight. They will not fight? Will they hand Ashira to me this easy?
She’s not dead. I’m sure I’ll know if she was even harmed. So how?
Why?
As if Marion read my thoughts, he spoke again.
“The people of this pack rejected Alpha Elon as its leader, we are now only tied by a fading bond, waiting for a new Alpha blood to fight him over his title.”
I’m not shock at all if his own people turn their back on him. This is what he gets for being a self-centered, conceited bastard.
“Where is he?”
I’ll be more than happy to kill that fu*cking coward and took this pack under my reign. I’ll get everything from him as payment for abducting my mate. And I’ll make sure to end his pointless life.
“He already accepts his faith. He is waiting at the Arena, the whole pack people are already waiting there as witness for the new Alpha to reign.”
Nick moved closer to me and whispered.
“I don’t think this is a trap. Even if it is, they don’t stand a chance.”
I breathed heavily. I already know that.
“Where is my mate?”
“I’ll go find her.” Lucianna suggested.
No, I wanted to be the one to go see her.
“I-“
