Death Wolf Saga
Death Wolf Chapter 75 (Book 2)

Alexandria’s pov

I haven’t experienced much in my life before.

Living with Dad, having a simple life.

Till recently, when everything has changed so drastically.

Everything that has happened, opened my eyes to this world’s new realities. It has unveiled a lot of secrets and a lot were yet to be relieved.

And amongst all these things, one thing is there that has changed inside me.

This strange feeling in my chest.

This heaviness.

As I stare at his closed eyes. His breaths heavy. Dipping the washcloth in cold water, I place it on his forehead. Seeing the creases on his forehead disappearing.

He is burning in fever, again. As the poison is spreading in his body and his body is resisting it.

Dad said the potion will slower down the speed.

But there is no escape.

Tears sting my eyes as I recall what I have said to him. How I rejected him. How much pain I have caused him.

Yet he didn’t let me go.

Exchanging his own life for my own. He came to save me in death itself.

Holding his soft large hands in mine. Interlocking our fingers, I pull it up. Having his knuckles to caress my cheeks.

Those sparks again erupting.

“Pl ..ease Silas. Wake up. Please. I…am sorry”

I literally beg. To no avail. He was lost, struggling for his life. And we all were sitting here, not able to do anything.

When suddenly, I felt his hand tug mine. His eyes slowly opening to look at me.

“Silas!”

“H-ey little one”

Tears were streaming down my eyes as I move his hands closer to my chest. Looking at him.

“Don’t leave me Silas please. I am sorry for everything. I have hurted you so much….I never deserved you. Please come back. Please?”

He just sadly smiles at me. His beautiful eyes set on me, not saying anything. Till he lifts his hand, trailing his fingers on my face. From my forehead ,to my nose and finally my lips.

“Shhh don’t be.”

More tears escape my eyes now, descending down my chin. Till he repeats it again, trailing my features again with his fingers.

“What are you doing Silas?”

“Remembering you little one. I don’t want to forget you even after I di-“

“No!”

I scream. Placing my palms on his mouth. Moving my head in no.

“Don’t say it please. I…I love you Silas. I love you!”

His eyes shift from my either ones to smile. And I lower my hands, playing with the hem of my shirt. Admitting it before it’s too late.

“I was unaware of these new feelings. This uneasiness in my stomach, the need of your touch. The urge to see you everyday.”

“I was scared of my feelings for you.”

“After all I haven’t loved let alone kissed a man before.”

“Then you came. I…never felt like that before….I was scared these feelings will drive me away from my purpose to find my mom….I am sorry Silas”

“I couldn’t be a mate you deserved.”

He stares at me. And the thumping of my heart worsens. His next words making me go still.

“You were the most precious thing in my life Alexandria. Don’t say that.”

.

.

“But. I am sorry Little one..I can’t drag you to my hell along. I don’t want to make you suffer the pain of loosing one’s mate.”

“Move on from me and find another man. Okay?”

I look at him in disbelief. Moving my head in a no. He can’t say something like that! I love him! Didn’t he hear me! I would never-

“I Silas Dawson accept Alexandria Black’s rejec-“

I didn’t let him complete. Slamming my lips on him. Catching him off guard.

He resists, but I don’t stop. Begging for permission to k**s him one last time.

Begging for his love, even if it’s for few minutes only.

Holding his face in my palms, I struggle for entrance. Tears streaming down my cheeks , please Silas. Please let me.

And he did finally.

Kissing me back. He moves his hand behind my neck. Pulling me closer to him. Intensifying the k**s.

And I felt my entire body on fire.

While he took me to heaven.

But it was short lived, pushing me back.

He breaks into a chain of coughs and I look at him in worry. Searching for a glass of water . To only go still on seeing a red substance dripping from the corner of his lips.

As he tries to hide it.

I look up into his eyes, to only stagger back.

My throat running dry.

His eyes ..they were turning red.

Just like…those wolves in the forest.

No! This can’t be happening! Please!

“Move back”

Dad comes forward. Pushing me back slightly. To only place the potion back on his lips. His body thrashes, a painful scream leaves his lips.

As he breathes heavily. His eyes shifting back to his serene ones.

“It’s fine. Calm down boy.”

Dad says and Silas again looses consciousness. My heart dropping , seeing him like that.

“Dad he-“

“It’s not safe to be around him alone Alexandria. He can shift any moment now.”

“But how…..how can this happen?

Volkan sighs, before answering. Looking at the boy.

“The claws of those bloodhounds have poison. A little cut or a bruise can be stopped but a gash big as this.”

He motions to Silas’s thigh

“The poison spreads too fast and then. The person becomes just like them. Puppets of the death wolf.”

A deadly silence follows as I try to digest the information. Does…does this mean he will become like those wolves we encountered in the forest?

No! I won’t let it happen…never.

Taking few silver chains, dad continue to tie him to the bed. And I just stare.

The voice speaking in my mind after very long time.

We will loose him.

I clench my fists. Moving my head to a side , unable to see this.

The thumping in my heart worsening.

There must be something… anything!

Ones who convert are never able to come back. They loose their souls to him.

No!

I can’t…I can’t see this.

Rushing out of the room,I look around to see everyone seated their. Looking lost and broken.

Elora was crying ,while Jason looked lost in his own thoughts.

Dad was staring outside the window into nothingness.

I can’t see them like this…I lost mom already…I can’t loose him.

I have to do something.

And that’s when I clench my fist. Ordering the voice in my head.

Guide me to the mysterious tree.

There is silence for next few seconds. And my eyes stop at a can of cooking oil in the corner and a box of matchstick. Picking them up I manage to sneak out of the hut, without coming to anyone’s notice.

He wants me right? Fine I am coming.

I am coming to either kill him or surrender myself.

If that’s what it takes to save the ones I love, then be it.

Take the first Right

The voice guides me and I follow it.

Cleaning my tears with the sleeve of my shirt.

With determination set in my eyes and vengeance in my heart.

Enough of this bullsh*t now!

I am coming for you death wolf.

You better be prepared for it.
