Aeris who had been standing watching with anxiousness for Caelan saw the incoming attack on Caelan who was still lying weakly and she jumped in immediately.
Declan blinded by rage didn't detect this act on time and before he could hold back, his sword passed through Aeris's stomach.
Declan raised his head stopping the sword but it already protruded from her back.
His hold on the sword stilled and time seemed to still alongside it.
He stared expressionlessly at her for a while watching as blood poured out of her mouth and the next second he pulled the sword out of her forcing more blood out.
Aeris staggered back and slowly fell on Caelan's body.
"Aeris.. No " Caelan weakly sat up wrapping his arm around her.
"Aeris no, wake up, don't close your eyes, stay with me Aeris stay. Stay plsss" He whispered as her eyes slowly fluttered close..
His heart sank as her blood wet herself and him.
He raised his glaring eyes to Declan.
"You damn bastard, what have you done, what the fuck have you done" Caelan screamed but dude wasn't even done talking before Aeris was yanked away from him.
" She hasn't discovered her wolf yet, she may die, she may die you bastard." Caelan screamed and guards rushed in at that moment.
"Sirze him and lock him up " Declan ordered and Caelan's eyes widened.
"You bastard, what rights do you have to lock me up huh, you killed my fiance, you Fucking killed her" Caelan yelled Ss the guards seized him taking him away.
Aeris eyes opened slightly and she raised it slowly to Declan's face who ran the hallway.
Her eyes closed back, the pains from the stab filling her, muting her and making her freeze.
More blood poured out of her mouth and her injured spot.
Her heart rate slowed down.
"Alpha how did this happen" Fillion began running after the Alpha on the hall.
"Fire, I need fire, fire can cure her" Declan said desperately.
"She hasn't discovered her wolf so it's impossible for that to happen, your sword is a silver sword gotten from the human world, it's meant to kill and nothing can heal the scar it causes, fire would be able to take it but it requires an everyday flame, you'll have to burn the wound everyday, but it can't happen for her, she hasn't discovered her wolf, she's a wolfless wolf "Fillion yelled and Declan growled.
" Find something to cure her with "He yelled and continued running.
Declan finally got to his room and he kicked the door open, the force making the door separate from its hinges falling to the ground in a crashing sound.
He got to his bed and he placed her on it.
The bed got soaked by her blood immediately.
Fillion ran in breathing heavily.
"Let her go Alpha, nothing can cure her, we can get another girl.." A kicked landed on Fillion's mouth before he could complete his words.
"Am not letting her go" Declan glared and Fillion raised his eyes to him, blood trailing out of his lips.
"So what will you do, she's dieing already" Fillion said and Declan walked to the bed sitting beside Aeris whose lips was paled already and her color fading.
He took her hand in his gazing at her face, feeling the coldness of her temperature.
"What has to be done" He whispered and Fillion frowned.
"Don't tell me you plan to do that shit" He glared raising a brow.
Declan suddenly pulled out his sword and Fillion rushed to him holding it.
Jasmine ran stopping at the door at that moment and when she saw Aeris that way, she palmed her lips tears rushing out of her eyes.
"Aeris" She whispered at Aeris whose blood already soaked the bed.
"Let go" Declan glared hardly at Fillion.
"Alpha, you can u don't have to risk your life, let's call the wolf's sorcerer, there must be another way, a way other than loosing your life." Fillion tried to reason with him and Declan slowly dropped the sword.
He turned to the door and Jasmine bowed quickly still sobbing.
" Stop her blood from rushing out in anyway you can, she mustn't loose anymore blood. "Declan ordered fiercely and stormed out, his rage almost shaking the palace.
Fillion rushed after him and his shoulder bumped with Davis as they walked.
" Beta, "He called questioningly.
" Join the others , Aeris must not loose more blood than she already has "Fillion ordered and began running since the Alpha was already far.
" You know we can send someone there right "Fillion reminded but still didn't get a reply.
They both ran out and to the stable and immediately Declan horse saw Declan coming, it ran out.
" Alpha "Rameses who saw them running called with a bow.
But both of them ran past him.
Declan jumped on his horse and Fillion had to open the cage of his own horse.
He led it out but Declan was already far gone.
He urged the horse forward by Flipping the reins and the horse sped forward.
"Whats goin on" Rameses wondered still bowing even if the alpha wasn't there anymore.
*BACK AT DECLAN'S ROOM *
Jasmine was all teary as she dropped another white clothe which had turned red from Aeris's blood in a bowl.
Davis placed a white clothe on the injured part of her stomach and Jasmine lifted her slightly placin a white clothe at her back.
But it got soaked almost immediately.
Jessy ran in with a new bowl containing white clothes and Jasmine sniffed as she took a white clothe removing the one she placed under Aeris.
"Pls don't die" She cried as that new one slowly got soaked.
Aeris's face was almost unrecognizable, her lips had gone from pale to purple, her body was ice cold.
One would refer to her as dead.
Davis places his index and middle finger on her neck to feel her pulse.
It was so low he almost couldn't detect it.
"This isn't walking, she may not make it. She's loosing more blood" Davis said removing the clothe on her belly and Jessy palmed her hands.
"We aren't close but I hope she survives it, Luna Athena, Pls intervene" Jessy prayed.
Jasmine nodded to the prayer still crying, Davis raised his head to her and scoffed
"She's only been here for today why would you cry about this" He asked and she raised her own head to him.
"I'd you're close to her, then you probably would know" She sniffed.
Jessy ran out of the room to get more white clothes and Jasmine just stared at Aeris's face that still remained pale.
"Where is the Alpha," Jasmine cried and Davis sighed not replying her.
*
Melantha has her shoulders high as she catwalks the palace premises when little whispers filtered into her ears.
' Did you heart what happened'
'About Tharros' a sacrifice '
' Hmm mm.. Heard the Alpha stabbed her'
' Why would he do that anyways, he bought her here after all'
'It was an accident, he was going to kill her fiance and she got in the way'
'Hmm, she's brave'
Melantha's lips moved up in a smile.
The Alpha stabbed Aeris, he stabbed Aeris with his sword.
Hah.
Perfect, she wasn't gonna survive it.
Anyone who goes under the Alphas blade never survives it.
Just perfect.
And here she was, bothered that the Alpha was Startin to have eyes for her.
Whether by accident or intentional.. What mattered now was that the Alpha stabbed her rival.
No not rival, that bitch wasn't fit to be her rival.
Melantha gleefully walked to her room and met her personal maid scrubbing the windows.
"Shivani" She called flaunting her hair and Shivani stood attention bowing her head.
"Yes Luna" She answered with a gulp.
"Get me the best wine of the castle, today is my day of jubilation" She said and Shivani blinked.
"Y.. Y.. yes Luna" She stammered and ran out.
Melantha laughed and walked to the mirror.
She stood in front of it, she slowly unstrapped her blue lacy gown that exposed her thighs.
She got rid of the underwear standing naked.
She felt her nipples and and ass.
She trailed her fingers to her pus**y and she moaned as she felt her own wetness.
She turned around and walked to the bed, and She layed on it and observed her body from. the mirror.
"Fair and perfect" She whispered.
She turned around so her ass faced up and her hair fell to the side of her face.
"I'll be the only one in your eyes Alpha" She giggled and Shivani ran in with her head bowed.
"Here Luna" She offered the wine and the wine galas not really surprised to see Melantha naked since she bath's her anyways.
Melantha took the cup and the bottle pouring herself the wine.
She got up from the bed and walked towards the window, she laughed as she placed the cup at her lips.
"Only me" She laughed and sipped from the wine.
*DUNGEON*
Caelan had been restlessly moving around, to. and fro in the dark dirty dungeon.
The awful smell could kill but it seemed the smell didn't matter to Caelan.
He pulled his hair and growled punching the iron bars of the dungeon.
"I'll kill him, I'll kill him."
" If anything happens to Aeris then I will kill him, I WILL KILL THAT BASTARD" Caelan yelled crazily.
"You'll dieeee" He screamed and kicked the iron bars.
He continously kicked till he hurt his foot.
"Aghhhhhhhh"
*SOCERERS SITE *
Declan arrived at the site of the sorcerer on a mountain, the middle of a forest.
Fillion waited down there with the horses while he climbed the mountain.
The old house with worn out woods and dirty hanging objects comprising of skeletal skulls and trees seemed to have been for centuries .
Trees hung on top of the buildings like a second canopy.
Declan was about to run through the opened door but a force pulled him back, throwing him to the full.
He groaned and stood up glaring at the entrance.
" I fucking need to get through" He yelled.
" Put down any dangerous objects with you" The sorcerers voice sounded calm.
" I'll kill you" He yelled and dropped his sword.
He ran in and was able to gain access this time.
" You wouldn't even if you can" The old sorcerer with gray long hair reaching his waist, his beards covering his neck, the only visible thing on his face was his eyes.
His mouth was covered with mustache and his nose was almost invincible.
Declan breath heavily still glaring.
"You know the way to save her, why come here instead, there is no other way except the way you know" The sorcerer said and Declan stopped his walked.
"Will she survive after I do this" Declan asked the sorcerer who sat with his legs crossed and a book in his hand.
The old man raised his eyes to him.
"I can't guarantee that" He said.
"Shit," Declan cursed.
"Oh, and you might want to hurry, she's had limited time in the world of the living" The sorcerer said and pressed his lips.
" 30 minute per se, she may not make it to the night" The sorcerer said freely but when he raised his head Declan was no longer there.
He stared at the entrance and blinked his gray lashes.
"He couldn't even say Thanks, that rude brat" He scoffed and faced his book.
He was reading it bit the oases of his book was blank.
A drawing suddenly showed up and he blinked severally.
A drawing of the moon, DESTROYED.
"What is this" He stood.
He walked towards the table in the room and placed the book on it.
He closed his eyes raising his hands.
And a few seconds later he opened them back, but they wee pure white this time.
He began moving his hands in circular and semi circular motions.
The pages of the book began fluttering but the page of the drawing didn't close.
He continued moving his lips but not saying anything and suddenly his eyes color returned, but his eyes was wide.
"Luna Athena" He called in shock.
*BACK AT THE CASTLE *
Declan jumped down horse and the animal ran to its stables.
Fillion came down from his running after him.
"Alpha, you still haven't told me what the sorcerer said" Fillion yelled but Declan hurriedly ran in, to his room.
He got in holding his sword in his right hand.
"Alpha" Fillion called as he moved forward.
Jasmine, Jessy and Davis stood up bowing as he entered.
He walked towards Aeris stopping beside her bed.
Her face was already purple as well, her entire body as well.
"We tried our best Alpha, we did her blood already turned black and now,.. We.. We.. I.. I can't detect a.. pulse" Davis stammered and Jasmine who had been terribly trying to control her tears sniffed.
Jessy just bowed down.
"Leave, " He ordered and the three turned leaving.
"Don't tell me you're gonna do it" Fillion said and Declan turned sharply at him.
"Everyonw of you" He said and Fillion stared at him for a while before walking out closing the door behind him.
Declan went down on a knee and he tire away the bloody clothe Aeris still had on.
Her body was purple and ice cold.
He took his eyes to her wound and he stared at the stabbed area that already turned black.
The dried black blood that covered the injury spread around her stomach.
"We couldn't detect a pulse Alpha" He remembered Davis voice earlier and he stood.
He dropped his sword and placed his hands at the hem of his shirt pulling it over him and dropping it on the floor..
His strong body, an irresistible view, his muscles arms flexed as he picked his sword back.
He raised the sword staring at it for a while.
He took his eyes to a ashed haired Aeris who lay half naked since he took off her clothes and without wasting more time, he lifted it and stabbed himself at the exact same place he stabbed Aeris, the sword pivoting out of his back .
Blood spurt out of his mouth as held the sword there, the pain sinking in him.
He closed his eyes gritting his teeth and he pulled the sword out dropping it.
The clanking sound of the sword filling the silent room as he climed the bed.
He came over her positioning his stomach so their injured spots faced.
Slowly his blood began dropping on the wound.
His arms planked on the bed, blood pouring out of his mouth, his body above hers, his breath shallow, as he deposited his blood in her.
