The Last Deadwolf

Chapter 43

"You're alive, thank god. I thought I lost you there for a minute", Henry says relieved when I open up my eyes. He helps me get up straight and then I notice where I am, it's Raum's packhouse. "You lost a lot of blood, so I had no other choice than bringing you here", he explains when he sees my reaction. When I'm ready to leave as fast as possible I hear my dad's voice ringing in my ears: ' You have to break the negative cycle'.

"No it's nothing", I tell him. "I needed to be here anyway."

.....

I'm looking at my pack that decided to gather, all feeling pretty uncomfortable since what happened the last few times we met.

"Callum has followed me into the city and using his human daughter to spy on me", I break the silence. "Frankly I don't know the exact plan from Callum anymore, does he want my power or does he want to be the ruler of Hell I don't know. But whatever it is, he is trying his damn well best to try and outsmart me. It's time that we return to our old pack."

"Go back to the Wolves pack", Shaddix asks disagreeing with me. "No one respects you anymore, there's no way you'll earn their loyalty and I don't know if you forgot but Luna is the Alpha there, what are you going to do? Kill her like you killed your father?"

Did he really had to? He's still mad at me because of what happened between us, it has been two years since that happened.

"Callum has people everywhere, and he always seems to be one step ahead of me. And with help from others he always finds me so masking my scent has no use. So the only way I see it is to start fighting. "Or do you have a better idea?"

I'm glad for Shaddix that he has gotten closer with his dad, but he has been brainwashed with what Fenrir taught every Alpha on his territory: 'women can't lead'. Those words and his feelings being hurt from me creates the most arrogant and prideful Alpha, exactly what Quinten needs so he's son finally eliminates me.

"Make your own pack", he says and with your own pack he means a Deadwolf pack. "They'll respect you since you're the Goddess of Deadwolves and then you can go and kill Callum!"

"I'm not going to make my own pack of Deadwolves because being one is quite the challenge and a curse, I wouldn't wish this for anyone. And killing Callum isn't going to be that easy since he has been around longer and knows his power far too well, plus he's a Sunwolf he has got that extra spark to kill me if he wants to", I tell him. "And the Wolves pack is my legacy, not from Luna."

"Why not use Raum's pack", Lori asks then. "I can't trust his wolves", I tell her. "And I don't know Raum that well. I can't trust anyone these days, the ones working for Callum can block their thoughts from me and their emotions as well, I am not trusting those senses anymore."

"Now, can I trust you to stand by my side", I ask them and everyone nods except for Shaddix. "I'm sorry but I am not going to act like murdering people is okay", he says and I look with a raised eyebrow at him. "Then how did you get those red eyes", I ask him. "Different times", he says before walking out of Henry's house.

"Hey, can we talk", Lucas asks when almost everyone is gone except for me and Henry. "What is there to say", I ask him. "You've spoken your mind before I left."

"Deadlive I was just stressed", he says and I sigh. "You practically told me to get over myself and stop being dramatic", I remind him. "You turned your back on me. Now I haven't come here to digg in the past, I am here to end everything with Callum and then I am going to try and have my happy ending that I deserve."

.....

I am outside, in Henry's garden enjoying the sounds of the forest. It doesn't happen often that I can hear the animals and the sound of leaves rustling , when I used to be on the Wolves territory I could always hear everyone's thoughts or nearby packs or rogues. Henry lives farther away from the others pack , and he doesn't have such a big pack as well.
