Fionn's pov

I'm a total mess. My emotions are all messed up and I could just cry myself to exhaustion. I followed Darius, completely exhausted, wherever he was taking me.

Now I remember everything. Everything I've tried so hard to forget.

My mom Amara. She was so beautiful. She was from the royal family of elves but she never acted like she was better than others. My mom believed that everyone is equal. I also inherited my white hair and violet eyes from her.

My dad Sean, was the best dad anyone could ask for. He was always there for me and showed me everyday how much he loves me. He was a warrior in my former pack but that didn't help him avoid his fate. My dad became completely paralyzed when my mom died and that's when Alpha Gregor attacked him.

And my unborn little sister.. She was a welcomed addition to our little family and we were all excited when my mom told us about the pregnancy. Her name would have been Anya..

I don't even know what was done to their bodies. All I know is that their deaths were blamed on the rogues.

"I'm so sorry Fionn." Neo whispered.

"Me too." I whispered back.

"-onn? Fionn?" I heard Darius's voice. I looked at him and furrowed my eyebrows, is he mad at me?

"We have arrived." He said and I looked around. I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't even notice that we had stopped walking.

In front of me was a simple looking brick building with two warriors standing in front of it. This must be the dungeon of the pack. I turned back to face Darius and his expression was grim. I sighed tiredly

"What are we doing here?"

"You'll see." Darius answered and took my hand. The warriors greeted us and let us in. The rogues in a few cells tried to shout something until Darius growled murderously and they were quickly silenced. Darius let go of my hand and pointed to the last cell at the end of the corridor. I looked at him questioningly and carefully walked over to sell.

My eyes widened and I looked at Darius who refused to look back at me. I turned back towards the cell. There in corner lay chained to the wall badly beaten, unconscious Alpha Gregor.

"Is this where you've always disappeared to?" I whispered to Darius without looking at him.

"You have noticed?" He asked, almost surprised.

I turned to look at him and gave him a 'are you serious' look. "I thought you had someone else. That you are tired of me." I said walking back to him.

"Hell no. I would never do that to you! I just didn't want to shock you with the knowledge that he's here. Every time I saw how broken you are I came here. A quick death would have been too merciful a punishment for him." Darius growled.

"Are you angry?" He asked worriedly.

"I'm not but you should have told me." I answered and we started walking out of the dungeon.

"Yeah, Asher advised me to tell but I didn't listen. I'm sorry, I didn't know how you would react so I decided to keep this a secret. But now you have a chance to take revenge for your family if you want to." Darius said and I stood still.

That's true but how the fuck I can do that? I don't even want to be in the same space with Gregor. Suddenly I remembered something I read in one of the books in the library.

"I have to go to the library." I was already leaving the confused Darius behind me when I quickly turned back.

"Do you know any black witches?" I asked and a stern look appeared on his face.

"Yes, but why?" He asked.

"I need them. I read one book and remembered one thing how I can take revenge for my family. But I can't do it without the black witch. Please Darius." I gave him my best puppy look and he growled.

"Okay, I'll contact her, but you won't be alone with her for a moment and I can't promise that she'll help."

"Thank you!" I hugged him and started running towards the library.

After a few days Darius got in touch with a black witch named Raven and now we are waiting for her arrival.

"Fionn calm down and sit down. We cannot know when she will arrive." Darius tried to say but I kept staring out the window.

I squealed as strong hands lifted me into the air and carried me to the couch. Darius held me in his lap so that my legs were spread over his hips. Before I could scold him, Darius kissed me. I moaned and started kissing him back. The situation started to heat up quickly until we heard a gagging behind us.

"Ewww Darius stop eating his face and release the poor boy!"

I bounced off Darius's lap. My cheeks were hot but I forced myself to look like a person who appeared out of nowhere. She was dressed in all black and her hair was dark purple and it almost covered her black eyes.

"What the fuck Raven! I said you have no business showing up in my pack with your tricks!" Darius growled but I scolded him to be quiet. Raven grinned and held out her hand.

"I'm Raven, you called me?"

I took her hand and introduced myself. After that I grabbed the book from the table and continued

"Yes, I would like to ask for your help. I would like to have this spell for myself." I showed her the book and Raven's expression darkened.

"This is one of the strongest and cruelest spells. I don't think you can afford it." She said coldly. I stared into her black eyes in despair.

"Please. I need it. Even look at my past to understand why it is so important to me!" I prayed and Raven took a quick glance at Darius before taking my hand. After a while she let go and her being was softer.

"I'm sorry for what you've been through but I don't do spells like this for free." She said.

"I have a gift for you." I answered and she smiled.

"There's nothing you can do to change my mind." Raven said turning to leave.

"I can give you a fire flower!" I yelled after her and she stopped abruptly. Slowly she turned to look at me.

"Fire flower? Hah! Do you know how rare they are? Some witches never see such a thing in their entire lives." Raven chuckled but turned serious when she saw my expression.

"Wait. If you really can give me a fire flower, then I will definitely help you." She said almost excitedly and I told Darius to get the pot from the other room.

When I realized that I needed the help of a black witch, I got all the information I could find from them. Fire flower is one of the most desired plants by witches, so I got in touch with nature and got a flower seed for myself.

Darius returned and handed me the pot.

Raven scoffed. "A pot full of soil. How stupid you think I am, anything can grow in it!"

"Calm down and let me show you." I said and placed my hands on the soil and concentrated my powers until the beginning of a small fire flower rose from the soil. Raven looked at it in ecstatic.

"You are an elf.." She stated.

"Only half elf. Will you help me?" I asked.

Raven admired the flower and grinned.

"When do we start?"
