Chapter 47



Chapter 47

CHAPTER 47. -Gabby’s POV- I had just come back from a run and was taking shower. I ran my hands through my wet hair and soaped up my body. The feeling o the warm water against my bones was amazing. They softened and the soreness disappeared. of Lela had been begging for another run ever since we came back. She had immense energy that I just couldn’t keep up with. But feeling her emotions and her freedom when on a run put a smile on my face. She was fast, strong, and very much an Alphas wolf. She had this aura around her which demanded respect and without even trying people just knew her power. I walked out into the room with the towel wrapped around my body, I looked around and saw the empty walls and then made the bed.. The curtains were pulled to the sides. I hadn’t been able to do that until today. The sun streamed in and filled the room with a bright light. It was hard to believe that things were moving forward. In one way I was happy about it because it felt like my life was actually continuing. But in another way, I still felt like I was stuck on the path I was trying to leave. her. I shook my head and tried to not think about it so much. Nothing had been decided, nothing was happening right now and it worked myself up too much, I’d be back in that bed…or worse. “Hey,” Cassy said coming down the stairs. “Hi, where have you been?” I asked her. I had looked for her earlier to ask if she wanted to go on a run with me but I couldn’t find “Just needed a moment to talk to my family,” “Oh, sure. How are they?” “They’re good, my brothers are causing hell and my parents are cussing them out,” She said andThis is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

smirked. A pang of guilt hit me upon seeing her sad little frown. “If you want to go back, you can,” She looked up hastily and shook her head. “I don’t, I want to be here with you,” I smiled and walked out of the house. We took a stroll through the town. “How are you feeling about everything?” “You mean the messenger?” I asked. Cassy stiffened next to me and I shrugged my shoulders. At first, I didn’t speak, I didn’t know what to say. Should I lie and pretend to be strong or tell her the truth? A Luna should be strong, they were as much a pillar as the Alpha and everyone here kept calling me by that name. It felt weird every time. I didn’t feel like a Luna. I wasn’t strong, I wasn’t a rock and I sure as hell wasn’t stable enough to take care of a pack. Besides, being a Luna of this pack would entail I am with the Alpha. And I didn’t know if I could d do that. “Gabby?” She asked and brought me back to the conversation. “I’m terrified,” I answered truthfully. 1/5 CHAPTER 47. She grabbed my hand and gave it a light squeeze. “And that’s okay. When he comes, we’ll all be prepared.” “What if I freeze? The other day when that messenger showed up, froze, Cassy. How am I supposed to help protect a pack if I can’t fight?” “If you freeze on the field, you’ll have an entire pack backing you up. Nobody is expecting you to do this on your own.” We walked around the corner to the cafe and I bumped my shoulder into someone else’s, I looked up and stared right into Sam’s hollow eyes. “You,” She seethed. Her friends stepped around her and all of them had the same look. “You are the reason why he turned on us. You made him throw his own best friend into the dungeon!”

“Yeah, do you have any idea the punishment he could face?” Another said through gritted teeth. “You’ve f*cked with his head and you-” “Haven’t done shit. Your p*ssy attitude and obsessiveness are what drove him away. You’re a backstabbing, manipulative, nasty b*tch who got exactly what she deserved and as far as Cole is concerned, I couldn’t care less what happens to him.” I stepped closer, standing eye to eye and leaving little space between us. “You won’t get away with this. How could someone actually be this dumb? She was believing her own words. Thinking she had done no wrong and that she was in the right. She honestly thought that she deserved better than what she had gotten. I think you’re forgetting ng that it wasn’t her choice,” Cassy said from behind me. “Aiden decided d to cut you out, and you-” She said and looked at the girls around Sam. He was the one who decided that Cole deserved to be locked up for what he did. Knowing Aiden, which you all do, do you really think the Alpha would let anyone else affect his decisions?” They looked dumbfounded at Cassy and then Sam’s eyes landed on me one last time. I could see the promise in them. She was planning something, she’d do anything to get Aiden back. They left, and her shoulder slammed into mine on the way. “You both should really watch your backs.” She said. “God I hate that b*tch!” Cassy screamed as we walked into the cafe I was mortified. Everyone turned their heads and watched us. “Okay, keep it down,” I said slowly and placed my hand on her arm. “Seriously, who does she think she is?” “Luna,” I said and smirked. Cassy scoffed and we walked up the counter to order. 2/5 CHAPTER 47- “Yeah, if she’s Luna then 1

laughed? Im the moon goddess,” I laughed and then stopped. That was a real laugh. When was the last tie I had “Don’t overthink it’ Lela said softly. We grabbed our coffees and went to sit but I couldn’t help the chill and eery feeling ti that swept over me. 1 looked around the shop and saw everyone carrying on with their own conversations. I looked out the window on the left and there was no one there. “Are you okay?” Cassy asked. I furrowed my brows and turned around, my eyes locked with an older woman who stood outside the coffee shop and watching me. She had a hood over her head and a long black dress with a mantle. “Gabby?” Cassy asked but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her. She had many wrinkles, her chapped lips pulled up revealing her cracked and blacked teeth. “Who is that?” I whispered. Cassy looked and gasped as she jumped in her chair. The lady raised her finger and beckoned me over. “That’s the pack witch,” Cassy said. She had told me about the witch a few days ago. So it was her that was responsible for Asher finding me. “Gabby, don’t,” She grabbed a hold of my arm but I yanked it free. I needed to talk to her. “Shit.” She cussed and I heard her chair being pushed out as she followed me outside. “You’re the witch,” I said to the woman. She didn’t speak a word, instead, she just turned around and started walking away. I followed after her and heard Cassy’s whining. The clouds drew together and darkened. An ominous feeling seeped up my body as 1

watched the witch enter the old library. Crows were sitting on the metal bars outside. They watched us as we entered. The witch looked over her shoulder before walking through the doors “Are we really doing this?” Cassy asked. “Yup,” “Hello?” I couldn’t see her. It was like she had disappeared. This library was big and layers of dust were everywhere. There was spiderweb on the walls and across the bookshelves, “She’s in there,” Cassy said and gestured her head to the two big doors in front of us that stood wide open. I looked down at Cassy’s hands. “You brought the cups?” I asked her when I saw her holding the coffee in the ceramic cups. 3/5 CHAPTER 47. “Hell yeah, we paid for these,” She handed mine over and took a sip of her own. “Hello?” We stepped ed into the big room and I looked around. There was no one there but the room had immense energy. ‘Behind you’ I turned around there she was. Inches away from my face. “Come,” She walked over to a big desk and sat down. “You were the one that sent Asher after me? I said. “No, I made your paths cross, you then let him in,” my brows furrowed, and I tightened my fingers around the cup. Ca*sy winced. “So you’re saying this is my ny fault?” She smiled a wicked smile. “No, I’m saying that faith is a mysterious thing,” “It was faith that I would get raped?” She tensed her lips and snarled. “Many years ago, a couple searched out a witch to brew for them a potion. One that would hem the

abilities of a werewolf. This potion was made and the couple gave it to their daughter. She who would come to later be of use…” My brows were furrowed and I awaited more. “Gabby-” Ca*sy whispered. I turned and looked at her. Her eyes were sparkling and rounded. “-You couldn’t sense other wolves,” she breathed. My head jerked back to the witch. “The potion was for me?” She bowed her head in answer. “The plan of marriage had always been. You see, Alpha Aiden leads the strongest, most respected, and feared pack of them all. As his father did before him. And his father before him. Your parents asked for an ingredient to be mixed into the potion…” she shook her head. “Greed is a dangerous thing. They asked for a poison that would enter the bloodstream and upon extraction cause a lethal outcome. As Asher King penetrated you, did you bleed?” She asked. I didn’t feel comfortable answering that question but she narrowed her eyes and waited. “Yes,” I breathed and cleared my throat to regain my composure. She leaned back and smacked her lips. “Then he had less than six months,” “To what?” I asked. “To live,”
