I THE SCENTS: Chocolate Mint [sequel of Bloody Chocolate]

24

Ceres

Meeting Musa brought back the memories that were been erased from my mind. Those memories was the time I'm being haunted by my kind since I escaped from the person who turned me until a lady pick me up when I lost my consciousness.

"Who are you?" I asked the lady in front of me after waking up from being knocked out.

"Why are you helping me?" I continued asking the lady who seem like preparing something for me to eat.

"They called me in so many names but to you, I'm Marian Salem." The lady introduced herself as she gave me a mushroom soup.

As I took the soup, I watched her clean up the mess from tending my wounds that were now slowly healing.

"Are you not going to ask me why I'm in the woods?" I asked her out of the blue while eating the soup.

"I already know and the moon tells me that your going to be awaken any time that's why I took you in." Marian honestly told me that freaked me a bit till it hit me what she was.

"Only a powerful witch would know." I said while looking beyond her features and she just giggled.

"I'm not that powerful. I just listen to the spirits around me that guided me to you." Marian chuckled while taking some soup at her pot on the firepit.

"Why save me?" I asked her out of my curiosity.

"I don't know the exact reason but you'll be the great impact of change in the realm of night creatures." Marian replied like she knew what was going to happened in the future.

"Sounds like a heavy duty." I sighed but part of me believed that I can.

"But you're royalty not only in the vampire clan but in the wolves too, Celestine Ceres Langford Aspire." Marian said before meeting my curious eyes turned surprise.

"As you feel better, find Rupert Quins. He was the one who can help you." Marian said as she began to eat her soup as well.

I was about to say something to her when I got sleepy.

'In some time, we'll meet under the light of full blood moon and when it comes, meant you're already meet the change called mate.'

Just recalling what happened back then, I finally realized the what Rupert meant about Mate and keeping me safe. It was because I was the change and my mate, Frizabelle was the one who's going to help me get through everything. Knowing that now, I found myself smirking and thanking the goddess for giving such a wonderful mate in this time.

"Now, I'm more eager to find where my lost pack were." I whispered to myself as I kept running aimlessly in the woods as I kept trailing the scent of the Achilles Blood survivor.

As I kept running, I linked the half twins as well Frizabelle to check on Musa at the cabin since she's all by herself and she was already a month to go before giving birth to her child. I was on the hunt for the lost pack that I'm trying to save and Frizabelle understood that.

I was still on the woods for months or less since I've been searching those Achilles Blood. They were disbanded from the time I killed their foul alpha and I don't want them to fall even more rotten than they used to be. I want to give some life for them and I hope they'll accept it.

"Geez, another month I've been away from my family really making me homesick but I must deal with this first before devouring my wife." I thought to myself that I forgot that made wife could hear them so crystal clear.

'What a word honey.'

"Sorry, just homesick." I linked to her while I was walking downtown and I saw an accident where some familiar scent hit my nostril.

"I'll get back to you, there's some familiar scent here." I linked to her again.

'Be careful.'

 I smiled to her last reminder before cutting off the link and went to the ruckus. I was right, I saw the previous beta who was not in good shape. He became so thin like he never eat properly. I followed him unknowingly when he left the scenery and there I found the other Achilles Blood, living in the dumpsters.  

"What we have here?" I butted in that made her jolted in fear but guarder for the others.

"What are you doing here?" the guy I followed asked me calmly even the others were gowling defensively.

"Searching for you guys." I bluntly replied to him while I studied everyone.

"Why the Immortal Fallen Rogue came to search for us?" he asked me again.

"Fine, I'll get straight to the point. I'll give you a sanctuary that you were looking for; a place to stay and of course a pack that you can call family." I sighed and jumped into business.

"WE DON'T NEED ANY!" Others roared but the beta hushed them.

"Then better to look at yourself. Achilles Blood wasn't born like this. It was a strong pack whenever they together, they became stronger than they used to be but getting lost in the way, this happen. Worse case, you can never be call a wolf or a vampire anymore. You'll rot that nobody acknowledge you." I told them that put them in silence since what I said was true and I know they're not happy with it.

"YOU LEFT US TO RUPERT ALONE." the Beta shouted that made everyone very sad since they felt that Rupert wasn't here anymore.

"And you know the reason why. The alpha who take over you has that nasty blood and Rupert still let him in. I bet none of you saw that kindness came out from him." I countered them that made them even more sad.

They knew who was Rupert Quinns very much since they've been together for how many years before things gone wrong.

"Anyway, enough that. If you want another chance in your life right now, come and follow me. Let's make a pack and a clan that only for those who asking a real sanctuary." I firmly offered them that made them looked at each other.

"Think of it carefully. If you accept my proposal be aware that you'll meeting a lot of trials and you must overcome them. Also, you might never know, you could find your mates when you come with me." I told them while smiling before I left for them to think about my proposal.
