Death Wolf Saga
Death Wolf Chapter 74 (Book 2)

Silas’s pov

I place the rogue tendril of her hair, behind her ear. Placing her cheek on my chest. To lean my back on the tree bark behind.

Looking up at the stars. Wondering why my fate was to be like this?

I don’t want to loose her. But I know. I will loose her one day.

The burning rising up my thigh and the throbbing pain in my head told me. It was impossible for me to survive this.

The wolves that attacked me were not normal wolves.

They were the ones controlled by death wolf.

Their red eyes, a testimony to it.

And their bite was not normal.

Once they infuse their b***d into one’s system. The death Wolves poison spreads slowly into the person’s self.

Till they finally become a puppet of his.

Till their souls get controlled by the death wolf.

I don’t how much time will it take, but considering I was attacked badly.

It will be less than expected.

Breathing heavily. I coil my arms around Alexandria. Taking her body heat. Enjoying this heaven till it lasts.

She doesn’t need to know this.

I won’t tell her this.

The only reason, we were able to survive today. Was because of her.

She was not just anyone.

She was the one very few know about. The summouner of light. The werewolf with the power to call upon light.

The reincarnation of the moon goddess , Selene herself.

How I know?

Jason may have found me on a rogue land. With Royal b***d in my veins. But he knew nothing about my history.

My dad was of the royal bloodline. Whose rule ended hundreds of years ago when a wolf caused havoc in the world.

The Prophesy as they call it.

When they knew very little about it.

My grandmother used to tell me a very old love story. And I used to listen to her like an excited child.

The story was passed onto us by our forefathers.

The story which few like me belived was true.

The story of love between the god of death , Than and the goddess of moon, Selene.

It was a tragedy.

A story that ended with Selene, betraying her own lover and locking his soul in a tree to save the world.

But now that I look at the events unfolding?

I know finally what the death wolf is after.

Looking down at her peaceful face and soft snores. I smile. Kissing her forehead.

Her.

He wants her. Than wants his Sel. He wants my Alexandria.

I remember in my teaches. They used to say, that the women that suffer alot of tortures, humiliation and pain. Yet survive. Proving their strength.

Have to suffer so much for a purpose.

For something big.

They are given the toughest battles because they are to bring in this world the strongest and purest souls ever know.

Thora Valentine.

If I remember correctly. That was Alexandria’s mom’s name. Her story is taught in our schools but her name is kept hidden. And the sufferings she faced even now, makes the hair on our skin to rise.

She was a very strong willed women.

A women who died and was called upon the death wolf or rather who surrendered herself to him.

Leaving Alexandria behind in able hands of Daniel.

Death wolf ,called upon souls of women all these years with only one motive. To find the summouner of light.

He called Thora in the same way.

Feeling sone connection. Some bond.

When the bond was always to her child. To Alexandria.

He called upon Thora. Keeping her soul trapped with him. Knowing that when Alex grows up, he can use Thora’s soul to call upon Alex.

He can enter minds and he entered Alex’s. To develop that pull to him.

To bring her here in this forest, to him.

The things made sense now.

Jason was wrong in assuming that the heir of the werewolf kingdom was a man kept hidden by Jason. The heir was no one except the women in my arms right now.

My Alexandria.

My little one.

Who can’t see anyone in pain. The girl who has a heart of gold. The girl who saves other beings and never hurts anyone. A girl with empathy, emotions and compassion unparalleled.

Why couldn’t I see it earlier?

How was I so blind?

But now that I see everything in light. My worries only worsen. The death wolf has finally seen Alexandria’s light. He finally knows she is her.

And he won’t stop at anything now.

He will get her at any cost.

And I have to stop him, even if it means giving away my life for it.

My thoughts are interrupted by some heavy noises coming my way. And I pull Alex to me, while moving my hand on my knife’s grip.

Looking around in high alert.

Yet what I saw made my eyes to widen.

Daniel ,Jason and Elora were coming this way. Followed by an entire army of werewolves.

And as soon as their eyes stop on me, they look at me in horror.

“Silas?”

Jason exclaims and Alexandria stirs in her sleep to open up her eyes suddenly. Clenching my shirt collar, she turns around to look at them.

And I feel her freeze.

“F- father!”

Getting up, she rushes to Daniel. And he pulls her in his arm. Kissing her forehead.

“Alexandria!!! Are you fine. Are you hurt? What are you doing here?”

“I ..I am fine dad. Don’t worry.”

“But Silas…he got injured saving me. We need to save him !”

Elora and Jason were already rushing towards him. And they go still seeing the wound on his thigh.

Their words lost as they share a look of fear.

“Did…did those wolves did it Silas?”

Elora asks, assessing the injury. She was going to touch it, when Silas grips her wrists. Stopping her.

Moving his head in a no.

Warning her to not touch it. And they all got the answer. Jason gasps stepping back while Elora lowers her eyes.

“Why…why aren’t you helping him? “

Alexandria asks. Looking at Elora and Jason who step back from him.

She was going to help him get up when Daniel looks at Silas’s thigh in horror. Stopping Alexandria by placing his arms around her waist.

“No daughter wait. You can’t.”

“No! Let me dad! He needs me!”

Silas sadly smiles at Alexandria. Holding the tree behind for support to get up.

Nodding, he asks Elora and Jason to follow. Who do silently not exchanging a word.

“Where are we going dad! We need to help mom! “

Alexandria screams seeing ever retreating to have Daniel sigh.

“Your mother is no more Alexandria. I saw her surrendering herself myself! Why are you being so stubborn!”

“No dad. Death wolf has just held her. She is his captive…she has to be “

“Stop being childish Alex! Can’t you see all the lives that are at stake!”

“The boy got attacked by the bloodhounds of the death wolf! And he may not even survive this! Thousands have died Alex!”

“It’s not that I loved your mother any less! But this is -“

“Yes! You didn’t love my mother! You never did! After all why will you? You were not even her mate!”

“Volkan King was!!”

Silence follows as everyone looks at her in horror.

“If you would have, I bet you would have stopped her from dying!”

“You are just like my real father! You were no less! You all used her and then threw her away when you didn’t needed her.”

“Atleast my real father still repents and tries to bring her back. But you dad? You are heartless..you have moved on in life so easily! “

Everyone present there stills. Looking at them. The look in Daniel’s eyes incomprehensible. He was hurt beyond words. All his life, he took care of Alexandria. Holding onto the promise he made to Thora. To have it come to this.

The deadly silence elongated.

Till Jason speaks up finally, unable to believe.

“Volkan…Volkan is alive?”

And Alexandria takes away her eyes from her father to settle in Jason’s. Nodding at him.

“Yes he is”

….

They finally reach for the hut where Alexandria left few hours ago. Stepping in the porch.

Gulping, she opens the door to have Volkan turn around. His grey eyes settling on everyone who stood behind.

Disbelief evident.

He still remembered them but choose not to return.

He gave away his title, his world. Everything in the regret of loosing her.

“My king!”

Everyone bows at him. And he clenches his fist. To only seethe.

“What are all of you doing here?”

The coldness in his voice gave everyone chills.Yet they were too shocked and nostalgic. To care.

Elora rushes towards him, enveloping him in a hug. Tears of happiness leaving her eyes.

“Uncle! I…I am so happy! We..we all thought we lost you! I can’t believe me eyes”

He stands still for few seconds. Till something flashes in his eyes. Recognition flooding in.

“El…Eloa? Is that you?”

He asks hugging her back. And she nods desperately. More tears leaving his eyes.

“Yes it’s me! Your little Elora”

Jason moves forward next, bowing again. Looking at Volkan in admiration.

“Alpha. You scared us. So nice to see you again.”

And Volkan smiles. Nodding.

“You took care of the duties well Beta. I am proud of you.”

Rubbing his neck in awkwardness. Jason smiles. To only have Volkan’s eyes to settle at Daniel’s.

Clenching his fist. Daniel doesn’t say anything.

To only have them to nod at each other slightly. Acknowledging each other.

The difference between them still there, to reach a level of peace and understanding.

His eyes stop next at Silas ,who stood in the end. Looking at the reunion while list in thoughts.

“Who is he?”

Volkan asks. And Silas looks up surprised. Bowing down to him in respect. Breathing heavily. A sharp pain hitting him in his head.

“I ..um…I.”

“He is my mate father. Silas Dawson.”

Alexandria says stepping in. Holding Silas’s arm. Asking him to step father.

Shock covers Volkan’s features and he covers it up. Trailing his eyes lower, he looks at the injury on his thigh and goes still.

On the other hand Silas was struggling with consciousness. His body swaying.

And before anyone knows, he couldn’t hold in anymore and his body slumps on Alexandria.

As everyone screams, rushing forward.

“Silas!!!!”

Alexandria looks at him in worry, settling his head in her lap. His breath coming heavy as he looks at her. His eyes teary.

“It’s happening. The poison of the claws is spreading. He doesn’t have much time left before he changes.”

Volkan declares. And Alexandria’s heart stops right there.

Holding Silas’s face in her palms she moves her head in a no.

“No Silas…I won’t let anything happen to you. Come on wake up…”

She begs and Silas struggles lifting his hands, to caress her cheeks.

“I will always love you little one. Remember okay?”

“No Silas! Nothing will happen to you! Hold on please!”

“Pick him up. Hurry. Lay him on the bed.”

Volkan says, going towards his old cupboards. Searching for some bottles and herbs.

“It was here somewhere….where is it?”

He exclaims. While everyone picks him up to lay him on the bed.

“Move back… everyone.”

Volkan says , rushing towards him with a bottle. Placing it on his lips, while Alexandria speaks in desperation.

“Dad…save him please. You..have to save him.”

Volkan stills for a second. Hearing her call him ‘Dad’. The pain in her eyes, aching his heart. Which he thought was dead long ago, will the loss of Thora.

“I… will try my best.”

As soon as the potion enters his body. Silas’s struggles still as he looses consciousness.

His hands tightly clenching , Alexandria’s small ones.

As darkness envelopes him.
