Chapter 50

Aria's P.O.V

"What!!" The boys screamed. "You heard me." I said. "How?!" Jude asked while Drake tried to figure me out. "Something that Judas said." I replied. "What?!" Jude exclaimed. "Ari... What are you getting at?" Drake asked, sorrow deep in his eyes. I knew he was thinking about Ira, Mia, Irina and whoever else I missed before I rushed out of there that we saved. "I remembered something I asked Judas that day in the Hall.... About why he was doing Kara's bidding... He said that Kara and Zane were loaded with money of the south and promised them they could turn them into Warriors... And Jason said only Royals could do that." I said. Drake brightened immediately, but darken just as quickly. "But how will that work on the dead? Plus, you don't even know how to do that!" He said. "I talked to the lords upstairs." I said, pointing upwards.

"Rose said it could work." I added. "Katerina." Drake said. "Starting with her." I replied. "Then you need to get back there now! She dropped rapidly before we left." Jude said. "Care to give me a lift?" I asked. "You don't need to asked." Jude said. "Jagger, grab your healers and whoever else you want to bring along and follow behind. Drake, lead Eli and his pack to the pack house." I said. "Right." Drake said, shifting. "Jude." I said and he shifted and roared. Another roar returned as I climbed onto Jude shoulders. Jude waited a moment for Jagger and several other people shifted before taking off, heading into the direction of the pack house. Soon Jack was seen in the air and he hovered in surprised as he saw the Eagles but snapped out of it when he saw me on Jude's back. He roared quietly and soared over us, upside down then diving down to to ground. Jude followed as Justin bolted out of the pack house. I jumped from Jude and Justin smashed himself to me, whimpering. "Please don't do again! Not at least telling someone first!" He cried into my shoulder. "Okay..." I said, rubbing his back soothingly. "Who, who are they?" Justin asked when I felt him lift his head off my shoulder. "These are the Eagles. I ran into them when I was.... Out." I said. "Justin, this is Jagger Summers, King of the Eagles, and this is his younger brother Cory, guys, this is my older brother Justin." I introduced them. Justin bowed his head to them and they to him.

"Where's Kat?" I asked. "Seth moved her to their room, he didn't her to die in the infirmary." Justin replied and I walked into the mansion, and up to Seth's and Iris's room. "Ari! What is she doing?" Justin asked Jude. "Saving her." Jude replied. "Xavier, get Viola, Ethan and Jade, also the Northern Royals and Alphas here now." Justin said as Xavier walked passed him. "Yes Delta." He replied, running off before Justin followed me. "How?" He asked me and I told him as we came to a stop in front of triplets room. Justin went absolutely still when I finished and knocked on the door. Iris opened the door, her face tear strained and tired from the crying and lack of sleep. "Ari..." Iris said weakly and pulled her into a hug. "She's dying... Ethan can't save her." She cried into my shoulder. "But I can." I said and she pulled back in surprise. I walked in then and saw Seth sitting in a chair, arms crossed on the bed, chin on his arms, staring at Katerina's face. He turned to face me when I touched his shoulder.

Katerina's heart monitor beeped slowly as her chest rise and fall. "Aria..." Seth said, voice full of sorrow. I rubbed my fingers through his hair as I took in the sight of Katerina. She had a tube down her throat to help her breathe, IV tubes coming our of both arms, bandages around her hands, arms, legs, ankles and torso. "Aria." I heard Ethan say behind me. Viola materialised besides me and I looked to her. "Is what Justin tells us true?" Viola asked. "Yes." "Do you know how to do it? Because I don't, no one has turned a wolf into a Warrior in centuries, ones even beyond the first war." Viola said. "Ari, what are they talking about?" Seth asked. "Justin, could you?" I asked and he nodded, starting to explain to Seth while I talked to Rose.

'Now, what you want to do first is to remove the tubes and the bandages.' Rose said before I said anything. 'Why?! That'll kill her for sure!' I said. 'If you do it while she is still alive, she won't survive the change.' She replied. "Ethan, Viola, help me get the bandages off her, then the tubes." I said. "What?! No!! That'll kill her!!" Seth exclaimed. "Hun, for this to work, she needs to be clean of bandages and tubes, her heart needs to stop as well for this, if I do it know, she won't survive the change." I said as Drake, Aditi, Ryder, Atlan, Alan, Sarah and Leo walked in. "Change?" Addy asked. "Okay..." Seth said, looking away from Katerina. Once the bandages were off, Jade carefully removed the IV tubes while Ethan removed the breathing tube. 'Now, once her hearts stops, your gonna have to move quickly, get to her right shoulder and bit down onto it and lie her back down, covers off her.' Rose said quickly as Katerina's heart beats got more spread apart until one steady beat was heard.
