The Southern Queen,

Chapter 16

CLEO'S POV

Last night I allowed Oliver to sleep in my room. Don't jump into conclusions we only SLEEP. Well, and kiss. Anyway, we decided to go to the next pack, which is the White Moon pack. Oliver as usual arrange every single thing that needs to be arrange in our travel. We were ready to leave when a woman appears from the woods. She doesn't smell like a rogue nor a resident of this pack. She smelled ancient. Oliver's hands found its way through my waist.

"Medea."

He acknowledged her presence. So, this is Medea. The Ancient wolf. The wolf who is said to be the oldest and the most knowledgeable. Medea slightly bow in front of us as a respect. She acknowledges higher authority even though she is old. Some of the wolves think they own the world when they reach the age that is not usually achieved by the others.

"I have come to warn the both of you. "

I look at Oliver and he look at me too. We gave each other a meaningful look before we return our eyes to Medea. We wait for her to continue talking.

" I'm afraid that your easy journey has come to its end. The easy memories where regained but the important one's are still missing. Be careful, the journey will be difficult from here and the truth will be more hurtful than the lies. It is best to be in each other's back at all times."

Medea said to us. I gave her my most sincere smile. When I first look at her, I felt like she's so familiar. Now I know why, She's the old woman who appeared in front of Elizabeth's house. She's the one who told me that if I want to know about my past, I should follow the wolf. She also told Oliver how to regain my memories and now She's warning us to the danger that lay upon us.

"Lady Medea, I'm so grateful to all the help that you've done, specially to me. I wish I can do something for you in return."

I said to her. She also smiled at me.

" Ow, You can Cleo. Regain all your memories and your wolf after that, be the Queen and the mother of the next king. Fulfill your destiny and let your seed fulfill its destiny too."

Confusion must be evident in my face because of what Medea just said:

"In due time, My Queen. You will understand."

I wanted to ask her so many questions but then again, she just vanished. What destiny is she talking about? I can't help but be worried to all the things that she said. I got out of my thoughts when I felt Oliver drawing circles on my back. 

"It's time to go."

I just noodled my head.

Then we again began our quest.

OLIVER'S POV

I understand what Medea had said. It is true that easy memories are regain but the important one's are still lost. The remaining memory that Cleo hasn't regain yet is the memory of her being gone and what happened to her when she's gone. If she was kidnapped, the memory has the image of the culprit. We can give justice to her suffering right now. Whoever planned everything must left someone to guard the gems stones that is within the 3 remaining packs.

The 3 remaining packs are the packs that is under the command of the 3 brothers. Their pack used to be one but since former Alpha Damon has three sons. He decided to divide his pack into 3 to avoid conflict in the family. of course, with my father's approval. The packs are named, The white moon pack, The blood moon pack, and the Death Moon pack. The first pack is controlled by Alpha Donovan, He's the eldest and yet the nicest. He prefers to end the misunderstanding in negotiations rather than war.
