The Last Deadwolf

Chapter 27

Lucas has made me a black porcelain mask to cover up the horrifying side of my face. I've also explained what had happened to me,  but only to Lucas. The others don't have to know. They'll see me as a follower of Hades, which I am not. 

"I'd never expect to be like the Phantom of the Opera", I say and Lucas starts chuckling. "You only need to start singing and obsess over someone and you're complete", he laughs.

"So what's your plan now", Lucas asks. "To unite the packs again, and find the happiness I deserve", I tell him. "Benjamin is dead and Evelyn probably is now. So we're safe for now, let's not speak too soon."

"Are you ready to open up to Shaddix", he asks then. "The mate bond doesn't exist anymore, because I died", I tell him. "And we both know once it's broken it can't be restored." 

It's for the better, I mean who would love a wolf like me. I'm actually not even a living thing, I just don't decease like corpses should. My heart keeps beating and my brain keeps on working, that is what defines me to be a living creature. 

"Are ever going to let anyone in", he asks then. "Would you, looking like this",  I ask him getting a bit angry. Hades may not be torturing me in Hell but he is on Earth. Finally someone came into my life who respected and loved me, and then Hades has to make me look like this demon. I could restore the mate bond between Shaddix and I but it isn't worth it now. 

"I'm gonna go help them, if they still need help", I say before transforming and running off. 

When I am in my wolf shape you can't notice that my face is half eaten away because of the fur. Thank god otherwise I needed a mask for my wolf shape as well.

I arrive at the church where the fight is going on. I don't see the Deadwolves anymore so Hades must've taken care of them. It's only the army that Evelyn and Benjamin created that is left. 

I roar loudly and everyone stops fighting. 

"Benjamin and Evelyn are dead", I inform them. "Leave this territory for good , or die!" 

Everyone is looking at me in shock, thinking how I can be alive after what happened. 

The wolves walk away from the pack and look once more behind before they leave. They will manage to survive , they've had to survive in more worse conditions. If they would've joined the pack rebellions would start, I know it one hundred percent. 

.......

I'm on the edge of destroying everything I see. Hades has made sure that once I come back on Earth that the mate bond between Shaddix and I is back restored.  How am I going to explain why I wear a mask? It's not that I don't wanna be with him , it's just the fear of him rejecting me once he sees my face. 

"I thought I lost you out there", Shaddix says sitting beside me in my room. "I thought you were going to end your life no matter what." 

"Remember how I said that Deadwolves die and then come back, mostly into another kind of life", I say. He nods. "That's what happened to me, I just came back into my old life instead of another", I explain. 

"So you did die", he asks a bit confused. "Yes", I answer his question. "The Moongoddess said that  I wasn't done with this life yet so she sent me back."

I am not going to tell him about Hades, I have a feeling that there would be problems later on about that subject. 

"So what's up with the mask", Shaddix asks then. "A little side effect of coming back to life", I tell him. "The left side of my face can't handle bright light, so I made a mask", I lie. 

The bond feels different this time, I don't have the feeling of protecting him anymore nor the feeling that I care about him. 

"I have to speak to Fenrir about some important stuff, so I have to go", I tell him. 

.....

I knock on the door of the Alpha's office and Fenrir opens it. And then I notice his soulmate Luna next to the desk. 

"You wanted to talk to me", I ask as I come into the room. "Yes", he says as he sits down. "About your future." 

Oh no.. I'm starting to believe that Hades is just trying to get me to the point to where I wanna kill myself. Does he really has to fuck up my life again? I finally could start my 'normal' life and he has to ruin it again. Just like he's trying to say that I don't deserve this. 

"Now our enemy is gone and you and Shaddix are soulmates I wanted to discuss your position in this pack.  I think that it's time for you to be married and become the Luna of this pack." 

"Luna of the pack", I ask him. "That was always going to be your position in this pack", he says. "I am a True Alpha", I tell him pissed off. "But you're still a girl Deadlive, we both know how the title of Alpha turned out for you", Luna says and I'm getting more pissed off now. 

"The position didn't turn out for me because you let everyone believe that I was the bad guy! I was the person who kept everyone safe from your parents something you couldn't do for three thousand years", I raise my voice as I speak. 

"Your father had a very difficult childhood Deadlive, he couldn't just kill his parents without knowing if there was a chance of changing their minds", Luna interferes again. 

"I didn't even have a childhood", I yell. 

"Do you even know why they were trying to kill the both of us?" 

Fenrir stays quiet and I can see that Luna wants to interfere with our conversation again. 

"You need to stay out of this", I warn her before she says something. "You don't have the right to come between us." 

And she doesn't. She has been dead for years and when she comes back she goes to Benjamin and Evelyn to try and kill us. 

Of course that Hades has left her alive. 

"I asked Benjamin in our last few minutes", I tell him. "Do you know that you were an experiment of theirs? They have made you a werewolf to save humanity, but you became too strong. And because you used your power the wrong way, was one of the reasons to kill you, and the second reason was because of my birth." 

"And I fixed your problem again, I killed Benjamin and took him down to Hell! I've fixed a problem that you couldn't fix for over three thousand years! And how are you going to repay me? By making me Luna of your pack and telling me what to do with my life!" 

"So you think you're the hero of this story", Luna asks then. I am boiling with anger, I'm bloody furious! 

"Did I say that I was the hero", I growl furious. "I'm saying that I should deserve more respect and credit!" 

"Respect", she scoffs. "Because you killed someone." 

"You killed twenty people, very brutally and yet you stand there being the Luna of this pack", I tell her. "You're the person who doesn't deserve respect." 

"Are you just letting her say those things", she asks Fenrir who just sits there like he doesn't give a shit. 

"She does have a point Luna", he says then. "That's why I am going to give you a chance to challenge me for the title of Upper Alpha, if you lose you do what I say." 

"Deal", I say shaking hands with him. Luna has this stupid grin on her face, not knowing how strong I actually am. Little does she know that this isn't our first fight.
