Contracted to the wrong Alpha
Chapter 85
Lilia’s pov
I could feel my lips tremble as I turned to face Jethro who was as impatient as ever. I swallowed a bitter bile in my throat as I wasn’t about to tell Jethro about Raven or his family, how this maid just single handedly told me about the state of the beta.
“We need to go!” His voice was sharp and impatient and I nodded, staring at him and wishing for the words to come out do that I can save myself.
“I’m stained.” I blurted out.
“What?” He gasped, sweeping his gaze over me as if to comfirm the words.
“I’m soaked Jethro and I can’t go at the moment, can you give some time let me go in with her and change up. You don’t want me to be fighting with blood dripping over my thighs right?”
“But Luna…” he shut his eyes and grit his teeth, sending a dirty glare to the maid who avoided his gaze by all means. It made me confused, I wondered why she cowered at his voice but all of that would be discovered later.
I need to get the hell out of here right now!
“This is isn’t right! A whole Powerful personalities are waiting for you and”
“And I should show them how my pussy is leaking with blood?” I yelled, feeling impatient. I don’t know where Raven was in his current state. For someone that powerful to be in danger could only mean that something terrible had happened.
“I said I need to change up, or maybe you will believe me when I pull down my pants.
I unzipped my trousers and he turned away sharply.
“I would be waiting for you in the car Luna, please be quick about It.”
He uttered and walked out while I turned instantly and entered the mansion, slamming the door shut.
“What happened? Where’s Rave, what happened to his parents?”
“I don’t know aside from the fact they were all drugged…they…they took him farther into the east woods outside of our home while his parents are right here.
They are so dangerous, you shouldn’t be here please.” Her shaking voice was enough to tell me that the process in doing all of the act was brutal enough to her eyes.
“Do you have any idea of what they gave to them?”
“I can’t, not even wolf’s bane can put them to sleep as if they are dead.”
I retrieved my phone instantly and called Jay, ignoring how my hands shook. I need to be fast or Jethro would barge in here and drag me out. After two rings, he picked it up.
“Hey Lily ”
“Jay…pl…please I need your help ”
“Fuck! They hurt you again didn’t they? What’s wrong with you Lilia, talk to me please. I’m at the arena waiting for you but I’ll leave Instantly.”
“No…not at all, please don’t leave. I’m fine. I just need some medical team to discreetly come over at Raven’s house.”
“Why? Is anyone hurt?”
I sniffed and nodded as if he could hear me. “I don’t know Jay, I’m so confused but none of them is moving. They were attacked this morning and I can’t even find Raven…please…please help me with your Pack’s medical personnel immediately. Let it be discreet.”
I heard a sigh at the other end and I bit my lips.
“Fine…but you need to leave that for Alpha and his people to worry. You’re about to get into a deadly fight, why can’t you focus!! You need it!”
“Believe me, I know but you taught me that distractions are a major effect of defeat. I don’t want to be defeated by this so I need to tackle this distraction that’s bothering me. I’ll see you at the arena.” I sniffed and cut the call before running towards the back door of the mansion and the maid sniffed in fear.
“I’ll go Into the woods, but you’ll tell me who you saw while this attack was going on.”
“Yes Luna, I will.” She bowed and I left, running outside without looking back.
The Building was fucking large and vast. There was no gate because we already passed through the first general gate so all that was left was an array of tall buildings, beautiful gardens , wide thick woods and bushes for a wolf run.
I ran towards the east of the woods and ignored the hot scorching sun that had chosen this special morning to burn so brightly.
“Take the right Lilia, I think I can smell him.” My wolf told me and I suddenly felt confident that I wasn’t alone, she was in support of whatever it is I’m doing to ensure Raven’s safety even when it’s supposed to be the total opposite.
I walked on the straight clear path and crushed dry leaves and sticks beneath the legs.
“What scent Lil, all I’m smelling is green stubborn grasses!”
“Because your mind is laced with fear. Keep walking, I can sense him nearer.” She replied and I did exactly that, hastening my steps, going further and farther and praying to the moon goddess to let me get done with this, the place was so large with tall slim trees that I thought it would take forever.
However, to my utmost display and shock, I saw a scene that would scar me for life.
I saw a scene that answered my question to all my curiosity about Raven, about his powers and unique personality.
I stood there feeling frozen as tears welled and dropped from my eyes.
“Go Lilia! He’s dying!” My wolf snapped at me and I ran over like I’ve never ran in my life to meet Raven!
He was placed directly at the middle of the Woods, tied to the tree with a sealed mouth and his leg and hands were enjoined together.
Now that wasn’t even the scary part, his skin was burning.
Right before my eyes, I saw what looked like fire burning his skin up in flames and leaving dark patches of scale on his skin which shone like embers.
He groaned in pain as he couldn’t take it anymore and ate a mouthful of grass to keep his voice at bay.
His rich auburn had turned dark and all I saw was a man in agony.
I broke down in tears and tried to untie the ropes.
“Lilia?” He called, feeling calm for a second before erupting into another pain that made him roar. As if my presence has triggered a burn in his brain and he could burst.
“What are you… . oh gosh!! This fucking hurts. Get out of here please. It’s your last test day.” He groaned in pain as I couldn’t cut the ropes, I didn’t even come with any weapon of sorts he was burning!!
“Tell me Raven, what should I do? What the hell should I do to make all this pain stop!” I yelled at him, crying and feeling so useless and frustrated.
Can’t I do anything to save him.
“Go…go.. back to the arena!”
“Like hell you think I’ll leave you alone!” I cracked into a terrible sob and stood up pacing up and down for anything at all to cut the damn ropes but couldn’t.
“WHAT SHOULD I FUCKING DO!!” I screamed in agony and kicked my legs. Raven wasn’t only burning, he was withering.
What type of situation is this? What the fuck is this and what should I do.
“Dear goddess, do something!”
“Take me out of the sun Lilia, it’s my weakness at the moment.”
Raven whispered and I felt so stupid!
I couldn’t even untie him from the tree, talk more of doing shit!
After thinking like a maniac, I resorted to doing the only thing on my mind.
I grabbed whatever leaves, long and thick, short and thin. I cut as many as I could with my hands and placed it on Raven. I took of my shirt and covered it on his skin
In less than three minutes, not a trace of sun could penetrate his body.
“What should I do to cut the ropes? I can’t leave you here. Should I call someone to”
“No! You can’t cut the ropes, no one can do that.”
“Why?” I yelled.
“Because it’s been casted by a spell. Alveria’s spell.”
Rage and anger burst through my body like a flame and my teeth trembled.
That bitch!! That fucking fake Priestess!
“Something needs to be done Raven, I’m not leaving you here and”
A short scream escaped my lips when Raven suddenly grabbed me with one of his free hands and bit me hard on my neck.
“I’m sorry Luna.” He whispered, squeezing me hard and sucking my blood like his last life depended on it and I let him be.
I suddenly realized the truth and the meaning to all of the confusion.
Raven wasn’t just a wolf, he’s a damn Vampire that was forbidden in Midnight Shade Pack.
