Erica:
I felt my world crumble in front of me, I couldn’t tell my father I didn’t want to go there, I couldn’t
make excuses. Alpha’s don’t make excuses. My pack needs me now, I can’t tell my father that I
cannot help because of Dante.
My father knows about my past with Dante but he calls it a past and tells me that I have a better
future ahead. I know I have a better future ahead but I do not want to see him.
Dante caused me so much harm.
“We will go there.” Lorenzo said to my father who had his eyes locked at me, I was in a state of
shock. Lorenzo had no idea who the father of my children was. The day he asked, I told him that I
never want to talk about him and he never asked about my past again.
“Yes.” I nodded firmly, we will go there. We are doing this for our packs and not for anyone else.
Pack affairs should be treated first.
“We will leave tomorrow.” Lorenzo added.
“Lorenzo, you should look after your pack, send your Beta instead. As an Alpha you need to be
there for your pack.” Dad advised and Lorenzo nodded, he had always kept my father in high
regard.
“Come Erica, I need to talk to you.” I followed my father as he walked through the chambers,
while Lorenzo stayed back to help around.
“Dad.” My voice was low and I felt the need to cry, I pulled my father into a hug when he closed
the door.
“Dear, I know how hard it is for you.” His voice was cracked and it was as though he felt my pain
with me.
“I know you don’t want to see him, Erica, he is your past and I respected your decision all this
while but dear when I saw my people cry and slowly die because of this attack, I had no other
choice. I am your father and I will never want you to go back there, but you need to restore our
pack. It’s in your hands now. The seer said the next generation shall save us. You are my next
generation. I should send the beta but he will be too busy helping around to go and he has no
clue. I cannot go either, I have to be here for my people.” As my father narrated his pain, I
straightened myself up.
“I know you want to say no but given the situation you cannot.” I nodded, my father knew me so
well. He has been my strength since I found out that day that I am his daughter.
“I will go there.” I looked at the bruise on his arm, he was bleeding but he didn’t know.
My father’s pack used to be the strongest werewolf pack until we started getting attacked by
rouges, losing our members, warriors and our title to the rouge.
I do not know what Rouge King Hazan wants from us.
“Alpha..” Beta Ian barged into the room.
“Alpha, we got news, a message.” He held a white scroll on his right hand and he looked tense.
Ian ruffled his thick black hair and gave a sigh. He was too young for all of what he was going
through.
“It’s not good news, Sire.”
“Go on, Ian.”
“We’ve had news that you have our gem! Naturally I hate you so much Alpha King Roland and
now you have something that’s ours, hand it over or else, I’ll tear your pack apart. I hate you but
I will give you the chance to come back to your feet before our next attack, if I do not get the
“Living Gem” I’ll come back for your pack in the next one month, on the night of the full moon.”
Ian read out, his hands were trembling a little, he’s faced too much today.
“That bastard, we do not have the gem. Send him a message telling him that we do not have the
gem and call me the seer.” Dad replied sharply and angrily, he noticed how Ian looked tense so
he calmed down.
All of this was just too new to him and he had not so many people to guide him.
“My strong boy, you’re brave like your father and with you we will conquer.” He tapped Ian on his
shoulder.
It has not been easy since the demise of our beta, he had died a few weeks ago fighting in the
war with Rouge King Hazan and now his son Ian has taken over as beta even when he is too
young to do so but he is doing a good job.
Ian left my father’s chamber and soon the seer arrived.
As he pushed open the door and walked in he smiled at me, showing his very white teeth, he
looked a bit dirty, and he dressed like he was from the 90’s, long old dirty pants and black boot.
He strolled in.
“Our pack is in your hands.” He laughed. I was confused, what was he talking about.
“What do you mean seer?”
“There’s no Gem, Alpha. If we had the Gem we would have won this battle for a long time but we
can find it.”
“Where can we find it?” My father was desperate to know the same way I was.
The seer walked up to me and stretched out his hand for me to touch. I put my hand on his palm
and my eyes rolled in my head, I screamed.
Blood stains everywhere, blood spilled on the ground, my pack members were crying out for
help, they got nothing. I watched Hazan stab my father right in the chest and in my arms, I
watched my father slowly die.
Lorenzo was gone too, my mother’s bowels were out on the ground and the cold rain beat every
single dead body on the ground. It felt like I was the cause.
He took his hand away from me and I gasped.
“What was that? How can we stop it?” I asked swallowing hard.
“Our pack needs you.”
“How should we go about it, seer?” Dad furiously asked, he didn’t even see what I saw.
“I do not know. I have nothing else to say, my king. If you may please, excuse me.” The seer had
nothing else to say, it seemed he got his messages in pieces today.
It is funny how we got entangled in a war with the rouges when we do not have what they want.
As the seer left my father turned to me.
“Erica, you are leaving tomorrow, you will go with the triplets, you will help Dante get what he
wants. Lorenzo will visit at intervals too so you don’t need to be afraid.”
I nodded.
I never thought that I would go back to the Blue Hades pack, I had left there and planned to
never come back but Dante is the strongest Lycan King and has the strongest Lycan pack. If he
fights he will surely win.
We need him and I hope he needs our pack as much as we need him.
He doesn’t know what I have become after I left his pack, to him I had died.
“I will get ready.” With that I walked out of my father’s chamber and headed to my room.
I pushed the door of my room open and my babies were fast asleep on my bed. Their nanny was
beside them.
“Ma’am, they cried so much, Elma seems to have a fever.”
