Cursed

Part 5

"What did she do?" Bloom questioned her voice quivering not one bit liking the words she spoke. None of the wolves liked what she just did "I can explain..." Matt appeared out of nowhere "...but first we need to take all three bodies inside somewhere safe to preserve them" Eliot scoffed walking up to his daughter and mate "What bodies and preserve what?" "Alpha, please we never meant any harm, let us help" Another witch, Eli chirped in hoping the Alpha will listen to reason "Help? You almost killed us. If not for my daughter and mate casting their spells, the wolf species would be long gone by now and you would be doing the moon goddess knows what to my daughter!!!" Eliot growled his peoples' heads all bowed down and the witches just held their breaths "We apologize for our part in this, Alpha. But now I feel we should work together for what is coming" Matt spoke feeling the guilt eating away at his main existence

Eliot simply nodded his head as two omegas took his mate and daughter's bodies inside the hut and one of the witches took Ayana's body. Eli worked swiftly in preparing the necessary herbs to preserving the bodies and immediately cast his spell

"Matt, now you can explain" Matt nodded then gulped looking at the pack who looked at him eagerly waiting "Ayana always had another plan because she knew Freya would not just kill the wolves. She instead made a deal with one of the ancestors that when the wolves don't die, she would kill Freya then herself and give her to the ancestors so they can shape her to their bidding. If am not wrong, Ophelia gave her life so Freya can live but that did not mean Ayana will stop. The three of them are with the ancestors now. They are fighting so the best part of Freya will come back"

"Aren't you Ayana's son? Why should we believe you?" Damien asked "She was not my mother, just someone who raised me to hate all wolves till I found Freya..." He let a small smile don his lips remembering his first encounter with her "...why do you think I was not in the circle earlier, I figured out her plan and I refused to help her henceforth so she tried to kill me but my magic is of the earth, it healed me"

"We believe him" Eli said looking into Eliot's eyes then his fellow witches who nodded with a small smile

Eliot wanted to thank them for their help despite his outburst earlier, when suddenly Ayana gasped her eyes wide open she laughed darkly "Finally! Even in my death, I won!" She turned her head to Matt as an evil glint shone brightly in her black orbs she smiled cruelly exhaling, her life force giving way to death's wake. Matt immediately looked at his Mate when he understood what just happened and back to Ayana's body which slowly turned to black ash, making the wolves gasp and the witches mumbled to themselves

Freya's eyes opened slowly, a dark glint in her hazel eyes and Matt was the first to notice her waking up. He immediately ran to her and held her hand and the dark glint immediately disappeared. She gasped looking around "Hey, you are okay" Matt whispered tucking her hair behind her right ear. She smiled at him as her father approached her hugged her tightly so glad his daughter was okay. She hugged him back as her eyes landed on Ayana's ashes then her mother and suddenly let go "Mom gave her life so I could live..." Her eyes welded up "...can I have a moment with my mom" She broke down as a lone hot tear fell from her right eye. Eliot nodded saddened. He wanted to do more for her precious little girl. He was ready to battle the ancestors "Of course, little one" He kissed her forehead as he motioned everyone to wait outside

Once everyone had left the hut, she rolled her eyes wiping off the tear that was on her cheek then walked to her mother's body. She caressing her right cheek then hummed "Poor you, gave up your life for nothing...." An image of Ophelia screaming for help inside her head formed and she just chuckled letting her head lean towards her ear and whispered darkly "...I can't believe I let you lock me up for so long inside some self-righteous thing..." leaning back up a little, she smiled menacingly "...can't you see I am finally my true self. You wanted me to live, then I promise I will live destroying every single good thing you made me out to be..." She looked at her eyes and saw a tear roll down Ophelia's right eye which only made her widen her smile "...sleep tight, mommy!" With those words, Ophelia's body turned to ash as well
