CHAPTER 5

I ducked as she flung the plate at me and itet with the wall breaking into tiny pieces."I don't want that!" She screamed, "It smellsfucking bad, hell! It smells as bad as you."I shivered as she continued hurling insults atme afraid that the Beta will walk in again andpunish me for getting his mate mad.[ didn't want that.I was still bleeding from what he had done todayand I ached all over. After I had managed tocrawl out of the torture house, I got to thepackhouse and straight to the kitchen to preparedinner amidst taunts and jeers from the packmembers about my appearance and talks aboutwhy didn't beta end my life and how I shouldn'tget blood in their food.I had successfully prepared their dinner withoutanyone hitting or choking me and I managed toescape the kitchen and not fall into the hands ofwarriors who would use me all night as it was anorm with them.Now, I was standing before Nora as shecomplained. She had specifically asked for adifferent dish which I had prepared and nowhere she was saying that it stunk."Go and make me some soup now!" She barkedand I immediately struggled to the kitchen toprepare it for her. I finished up quickly and tookit to her. She accepted the food and I stood therewaiting for her to order me around when sheglared at me.'What are you doing here?""Get lost!"[ left her room at her words and went back to thekitchen. I finished up the dishes and cleared themess the pack members had made.complained.

I finished up the dishes and cleared themess the pack members had made.I walked to the basement as I was done for theday, holding messed-up pancakes I had intendedto pick earlier. I hadn't seen Amara since I cameback from the torture house and I guessed thatshe would be in the basement playing withfluffy.I reached my destination and got in. The sightI met made the content in my hands fall to theground as a shrill cry left my lips. NyX'S POV "No!"" I cried out as [ rushed over to her with tears already falling from my eyes. I couldn't believe the sight before me. Amara was laying on the floor in a pool of blood, her own blood. Ifell to my knees beside her and lifted her. "What happened baby?" I asked, "What happened to you?" "It's the Beta." She coughed and trickles of blood came out of her mouth, "It was when he kicked me."" I didn't say anything. I quickly rushed to the mattress and laid her on it. I couldn't take her to the pack doctor as we were denied medical access and I couldn't heal her myself. [ smoothed her blonde hair to the side and caressed her face as I watched it get paler, she was getting weaker and she kept coughing the spurts of blood coming from her mouth. I lifted her shirt up and saw that she had a gash like wound on her torso. How dare he do this to our pup?! Hera growled, I will fucking end him Calm down Hera, I said to her, we have got to find a way to get her healed fürst and I don't know what to do. Hera went silent for a while and I continued gazing at Amara. She got sick often ever since she shifted at the age of three. The rigorous process of shifting had weakened her a lot and it turned out that she was just a silver wolf like me but unlike her, I hadn't experienced premature shifting. That's it! Hera said., Tell her to communicate with her wolf to help her heal, I am sure that will work. Let's try it, I agreed with Hera and moved to sit Amara up. "Yes, Mommy." She smiled weakly at me, "I feel s0 woozy." She said, "Am I going to die? AmI going to meet grand mama up there?" "No, baby." I shook my head crying at her words, "You are not going to die, you are going to live for me, you will be okay." "The Beta's mate said I was going to die." She sniffed. "No baby, you won't." I took her face in my hands, "I want you to do something for me baby." "What is it mummy?" She asked and I smiled at her thinking of how smart she was for her age, I knew she could do this. "I want you to talk to your Wolf, Cora." I said to her, "I want you to tell Cora to help you heal." "Okay mummy but Cora feels tired just like me." "That is why I want you to try so you wouldn't feel tired anymore." She nodded and went silent for a while as she talked to her wolf. Soon enough I saw her straining herself meaning she tried to heal. I raised her shirt up looking at the wound and I saw it close up gradually. My face lit up in a smile. "You did it, you both did it." I shook her face playfully, "Now I want you to cough to see if there is blood." She did it and there was no sign of blood. "You see..." I hugged her tightly, "You are okay baby." She nodded at me with a smile, "I am hungry." My face fell at her words and I looked back to the trampled pancakes on the floor, they were not edible in this state, "Love, I don't think there will be food tonight." "I understand mummy." She lay down on the bed, "I will go to sleep now..." "Mummy will get you something to eat tomorrow, okay?" "Yes." She nodded, "And one day we will live in a big house with plenty of food and maybe I can get a daddy, it will be fine and we will be happy." She giggled exposing her lost tooth gap. She "Go to sleep child." I placed a kiss on her cheek as she closed her eyes falling into a peaceful slumber. I laid down next to her hoping to get some sleep to0 as I crossed my hand over her. I couldn't sleep that night as I could feel that Hera wasn't settled. She had mixed up emotions of anger and anxiety. I sat up on the bed wanting to talk to her. What's wrong Hera?
