Cold Spell
The Alpha of the Wolf tribe stared at me long and hard, before he even spoke. His voice was a lot more soft-spoken than before. "Before I bring you to the Old Luna, I must warn you before-hand. The old Alpha my stepfather, had a witch cast a cold spell on her. She is kept in the warm caves underneath the main packhouse."
I didn't even blink, a lone tear rolled down my cheek. I caught it before it completely rolled off my chin on a herbal leaf that I pulled out of my long sleeve. In a quiet voice, I tell them "Lead the way, If I save her you and everyone else in your tribe must act like I am a normal Hybrid. No one must know who I am, to everyone in your Tribe, I am only the adopted daughter of the Lunae Clan. Remember no one must know of my true Identity, no one must never find out who I am. Or chaos and bloodshed will rain down on us all before the time comes."
He gave a nod, stepping to the side he had asked only me, to follow. I looked at my siblings giving them a short nod. I looked at the girl from the Hawk tribe, "Young one watch over them please, I know that you would not ever do them any type of harm."
I walked through the foliage to follow the Alpha & the Beta to an underground path that was hidden behind a grove of trees. The air inside was crisp and clean and a little high on the temperature, I transformed into my wolf straight away rolling in the tall grass near a crystal blue lake that sat in the middle of the underground oasis. I looked for the old Luna, left and right till I heard a purring sound. I shifted back into my human self as the clothes reformed over my body, "Come dear, let me cast eyes upon The Divine."
I looked everywhere, looking for the voice. Till I saw a flash of white as she floated down from on top of the waterfall. She sounded just like Mother Rose and her looks showed fair skin and eyes that twinkle in the illusion of a night sky. I got on one knee, bowing in respect. "Auntie Evelyn, I did not know it was you that was his mother. What happened to you, after I first shifted you suddenly disappeared."
She slowly picked me up, "Autumn honey, it is so good to see you alive and well. I have prayed to the gods, and the heavenly divine's before you to see you well."
A voice on the side had startled me with his question, "Your the little nine-tailed fox?"
I looked at the Alpha, I stared straight into the depths of his soul, to see the wolf cub that Peony had saved long ago. "Kookie? Is it really you?"
An agitated growl came from my left, I looked at the Beta, "Anthony close your mouth hun, you're going to catch flies. It's not like that, I see your Alpha/Mate as a younger brother nothing else. There is no need to get jealous..." I said in a quiet voice, "I don't have a mate and I never will...."
I looked at Auntie Evelyn in sadness, "Jungkook let me have some time with Autumn, don't worry okay she will protect me!"
I watched as Kookie grabbed his mate, waving at me quickly. I turned around as the tears were falling, Auntie just held me for a while. I told her my fears and my sorrows, losing Mama Rose because of the darkness and the chaos that is soon to hit our WereWorld. I pulled away, I handed her the leaf.
"Auntie, let me heal you. Kookie is going to need his mother and I don't plan on having you miss out on any more of his life." She knelt before me and raised both wrists.
I shifted my hand into my claws, one razor claw across her wrist. I split the lone tear in half, I deposited them both at the same time. I used my saliva to heal the cuts, soon you could see the cold spell slowly leaking out of her body. (reference above)
She passed out from the witchcraft leaving her body, I laid her down. I walked to the edge of the cave as I sealed of the entrance, this next part they would definitely lynch me if they heard her screams.
I sat behind her as I took some of my qi from my body, sifting it into hers little by little till my breathing became labored. I felt the world tilt as I could hear the pounding of tiny fists on the barrier outside the cave. With a final thought as exhaustion hit me, I gave my siblings calm thoughts before I passed out completely with no worries in the world.
(Outside the cave)
"Do you trust her Jungkook? She looks and seems like a little girl." Anthony had said.
"We can definitely trust her If it wasn't for one of her siblings and the nine-tailed fox. I would have never been alpha and you would have been mateless and still a rogue. That reminds me, why do you smell like your sister? What is going on tell me! Remember we have no secrets."
I looked at my mate, I didn't know If I should tell him. But in my head, I felt reassuring thought from the girl inside, along with my sister's thoughts. I smiled, "Well you see the Beta of the Tiger tribe, doesn't know that his beta female is a rare stripeless. All I know is there are only two in the world, that would be Dannika and her sister, but the thing is I never met her sister. The only thing I know is she has red hair and fair skin and she has never been seen or heard from again after they slaughtered Dannika's Clan."
I only told a half-truth, I could hear my sisters thought she was screaming at me, to tell the truth. I looked down ashamed that I've been caught, the memories of when I would always tell the truth came flying at me as I cringe away from my mate's embrace.
"Anthony, I know you are only telling some of it. But it's better than nothing at all. Don't worry I won't push you about it."
Feeling bad, I looked at my mate. "Kookie, I'd tell you but the thing is, its not really my story to tell. She should tell you, instead of me. I'm afraid I would mix up the information again, I just recovered from the old Alpha's abuse. My body can't take anymore,." In my head, I could hear a voice it sounded like silk. The voice told me not to stray far, and that its human will heal me so she doesn't feel guilty and my sister doesn't have to worry about me."
