Ethan’s pov

Ever since the encounter with the pack doctor, I had been restless

The pack doctor had given some medicine for Sophia to take which had helped her a great deal.

According to the pack doctor, it helped in curing the toxins that were generated as a result of the poison that was injected into her system.

At a point in time, I wanted to leave the administration functions that I carried, I would be happy if I had to take care of Sophia for a day without interruptions.

I instructed my Beta to search for the information of the lady, it was only but a guess, I never knew the stature of the one in question nor her age.

It was because Sophia’s health depended on the meeting with this “lady” that’s the reason I was willing to engage in all this stress.

The medicine in which she drank could not keep her in her strong state for too long, after some time, she showed signs of weakness.

I carried her to my chambers and dropped her gently on the bed.

Although my pack could be considered a haven, it was not free from spies as I did not want her territory to be invaded because of me.

My Beta brought information as I realized that such an eccentric person existed. It was a great deal for her to attend to your case.

I guess the reason why she was on the outskirts of the city was that she was a white witch and witches were not permitted into the pack no matter the rank and status.

It was an unwritten rule that the ruler of the pack was not permitted to visit the witch for divination.

I had been obeying the rules for centuries and for the first time in a long while, I would be defying the rules that were made. I needed to take this drastic decision because I needed to save a life.

I arranged for maidens and I gave instructions that nobody was allowed to go in under any circumstances. And my Beta began the journey to the outskirts of the pack to find the healer.

We did not want to ride on horses as it was a risk, the wolves might figure out our identity on time when they saw the manner of horses that we carried.

It was such a long and hectic journey, at a point we thought that we were no longer on the track as we kept on walking, it got to a point where we thought that we were lost in the journey.

We asked for directions as we moved further, days turned into nights and nights into days yet we had not reached the area.

We were getting tired and frustrated as we began to deal with hunger pangs, I never knew that this path was going to be as difficult as this.

“It’s because of Sophia, Let’s carry on,” I thought to myself.

We finally saw a hut and a relieved expression was seen on our faces. I knew that the answer to the problem lies in the hut.

From the information my Beta sent to me, I knew that “the witch” had no respect for royalties and the ranking system that is attached to the wolves was not any of her concern.

I did not come all the way here to prove to the witch that I am the ruling Alpha of the pack, I came as a younger brother hoping to seek solutions for his elder brother.

We stood outside the hut and waited for a long time, my Beta was getting angry and was on the verge of confronting her before I held him, telling him that he needed to be calm.

A deep sigh was heard, I maintained my calm appearance on the outside but on the inside, I was trembling because I could not get the exact location, where the sigh had emanated from.

“Introduce yourself” a voice was heard as he spoke forth these words

“Ethan,” I said

My Beta was about to introduce himself when she stopped him with these words

“Ethan, come into the hut, the no-name guy, stay outside”

I almost chuckled at her words, she had given my Beta “no-name guy”, my Beta looked at me, I could not tell what he was thinking but I knew that he genuinely cared about me

“Don’t be bothered, I will be fine” I said to him as I walked into the hut.

Getting into the hut, I shivered, the hut looked creepy and eerie as skulls were made as tools of decorations, I wondered if she ever sleeps because these “decorations” are enough to give her endless nightmares.

Apart from the “decorations”, there was water, and this water was not like any other water which doesn’t have a color. The water does have a color – Red.

I pondered if it was water or if it was blood. I was still engrossed in taking the details of the environment when I heard a voice that brought me back to reality

“Done, staring yet??” The voice asked.

I had imagined all sorts of things on my way here, but I realized that she was not any of them. She had long silver hair that had two shades in addition to the hair – black and white.

Her eyes were weird, they were not any colors but they had the embodiment of galaxies in them, she was clad in a red robe.

She “looked” at me, her eyes were turning around as I held back a chuckle that threatened to escape my lips. She turned her back and began to walk, so I followed her suit.

I never knew that the hut would be as big as this, it had several compartments. My leg hurt, as a result of the action which I had performed earlier but I held back the pain.

I could not afford to miss such an opportunity as thisNôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Your sister is sick,” She said, although her back was on me.

I smiled as I knew that I had come in the right direction.
