Ravic's POV
I kissed her cheek.
"You can do this baby, just believe in yourself. You need to concentrate so I'm going to help collect the bodies and leave you to collect yourself ."
She nodded to me. In her eyes I saw the indecision, the sadness and so much pain. Then again she's an Alpha and a Luna- her pack's pain is her pain. I pushed my strength to her. She lifted up her head. I smiled at her.
You can do this baby, I mindlinked her.
"Are you sure she can do this?" Jason asked me.
I bent to pick up a body. Malory. She was one of my best female fighters.
"Yes, Jason. If she says she can then she can," I said confidently. I remember a story my grandfather had always told me at times when I was indecisive or angry. I pushed the story into her mind.
"One evening a Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves inside of us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?" The Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed. "
My father told me that tale too, she responded.
Then use it to guide you. Believe in your wolf and believe that you can do this.
When the last of the bodies were collected and placed on the ground. I told her. I turned to her and watched as she gave her wolf full control. You can do this baby. I felt the pack giving her strength and she absorbing the energy of our pack. They watched her with such admiration, love and respect. They believe in her.
Her eyes turned bloodred. Her once jet black was a snowy white. Her skin shone. She extended her hands across to the dead bodies. A light engulfed her body and radiated from her to each individual. It captured them also. I connected to her and felt the energy flowing from her to them.
The skies became dark. Gushes of wind shielded the bodies and her from any peering eyes. The wounds on the bodies starting closing, bones started breaking and reforming, the lush color that they once had was returned. The shield broke around them and persons started mumbling and groaning as they got up.
"She did it!" pack members said and started cheering. Loved ones ran to meet their once dead family and lovers. Her hair transformed to its once jet- black color and her eyes changed. She looked weak. I walked up to her and held her. I kissed her neck. She started swaying in my arms. As I pulled back to look more closely at her an arrow hit her square in the chest. Screams erupted around us as she fainted in my arms.

Pack doctors worked on her assiduously and finally they came out and told me I could go in. She was sitting up on the bed looking at the wall. She looked at me as I entered.
"How's everyone?" Typically Sabella, thinking of everyone before herself.
"They're ok. How are you?" I sat on the front of her bed and held her hands.
"I'm fine, just tired."
Ravic , you need to come here quickly, Jason said in my head.
I'm on my way.
"Get some sleep bed. I'm going to see how things are going." I kissed her forehead and left.

I opened my office door to see Jason and Rachel on the sofa.
"There is a dark taint in the forest. They could signify that witch activities," Rachel said. "You need to get all your pack inside now. No one enters those forest until Sabella and I can remove the taint and set up some barriers."
"Have you seen my sister?" I had been calling Destiny since this morning and still haven't gotten an answer.
"No, she hasn't come back yet," Jason responded.
That lil twerp!
Ravic! Help! I heard her scream in the mindlink.
Where are you, Destiny? I responded.
I'm about 5 miles from home in the woods near the path I normally take. There are some men here doing a ritual and I got caught. Well... not caught exactly. I'm in a tree but these guys look serious and they're looking everywhere for me.
Stay where you are and do not engage them in a battle!
"Guys, she's in the forest. We need to send someone out there for her," I moved around the desk.
"You can't go out there. Have you not heard a word I said," said Rachel.
"She's my sister. Come with me then but I need to get to her."
Ravic your men are controlled! Help!
What the hell? I didn't send any one to her.
"Guys my men are attacking her; we need to go now."
We rushed to the northern end of the pack boundary.
When I reached the boundary I saw Sabella disintegrating the men.
"What are you doing here, Sabella? You're hurt."
She held her sides and I saw it becoming stained with her blood. "I'm hurt but your sister could have died." Her voice sounded raspy.
I looked at my sister with a death stare. She cringed back. I'm gonna wring her neck.
