ARO'KA ARO'LU

Caelan grinned like a devil, the Alphas blood staining his face and teeth as he held the sword.

"ALPHA!!" Davis yelled in terror.

"DECLAN!!!" Aeris screamed covering her mouth as the shock overtook her.

She slowly turned her head to Caelan the Alphas blood splattered on her face.

"Cee what did you.." She stared unbelievably at Caelan and he pulled out the sword and the Alpha groaned again in pains.

"Alpha" Davis was almost crying as he bent on a knee staring at the Alpha whose lips were open as blood poured out of his open stomach and back.

"Aer, it's our chance now, get the keys and release me" Caelan said desperately and Aeris scoffed comfusedly.

She turned to the Alpha who lay on his side and Davis who was trying to help him up, the keys hanging on the Davis waist.

She stretched her hands to get it but paused as something clicked her memory.

'Of course, you didn't know, how do you think you were able to survive the stab, he did Blood Deposition on you throughout the night, he stabbed himself at the exact same point he stabbed you'

Aeris recalled Jasmine's words and she shut her eyes.

She opened them and the tears were already gathered. She turned to Caelan who now had a confused look and she turned back to the Alpha.

"Davis let's get him out of here" Aeris said and Caelan's eyes widened.

"Aeris" He called surprised but she ignored him helping Davis take the Alpha outside.

"We should use the back, no one has to see him no matter what" Davis said and Aeris nodded.

They hurriedly carried him to the back and followed that way to the forest.

They got to his Chalet with him turning weak at every slight second.

"I can go in, he'll end me when he wakes up, I have to call the beta" Davis said and ran away with urgency.

AERIS couldn't hold Declan up got long and she slowly went down on her knees.

And he went down with her falling on the ground completely.

"Declan" She gasped crawling towards his body.

She lifted his head and placed it on her thighs.

He was conscious and the pain of the stab was evident on his face.

"Are... you hurt" She whispered and he turned his pained face to her.

He stared at her ashen orbs for seconds seeming like he wanted to speak but he couldn't or rather, he didn't.

Fillion ran in at that moment but Davis wasn't with him.

"I'll take it from here my lady" Fillion said helping the Alpha to his feet.

He placed his hand around the Alphas waist and the Alpha placed his arm around his neck as Fillion helped him up.

Declan turned to face Aeris, the pain evident on his face.

"Be beside me, when I wake up" He whispered and Fillion glanced at him and began helping him in.

✵AERIS POV ✵

I stared at the retreating back of the Alpha and scoffed.

Whats wrong with this guy, wasn't he mad at me a few moments ago.

I turned around to walk away.

He shouldn't get ahead of himself, I only helped him in order to repay him saving my life not like I cared if he died.

"Be beside me when I wake up" His words rang in my mind and I frowned.

Why was I thinking of this, and what did he think I was to him to tell me to do that.

I scoffed and continued my walk but as my mind reeled back to those words, I suddenly wanted to oblige to the thoughts.

I shook my head.

" Snap out of it Aeris, Snap out of it" I told my self but paused when his ear splitting roar rang out like the Ember Wolves trumpet signal of danger.

I turned towards the dark house with its windows illuminating yellow candle lights.

The dark rooftops shimmering black as the darkness seeped in signaling the departure of day.

"Aghhhhhhhhh" I heard Declan's roar and I just couldn't help but wonder just how much pain he was under going.

Was the healing process that harsh.

It was his own cup of coffee thou.

He deserved whatever he was getting.

I hate being in debts and I already repayed him by helping him here.

I turned around and continued my walk away from the forest.

My mind suddenly went to Caelan and of frowned.

Why did he do that.

Why did he stab Declan, yes I know he badly wanted to escape just as I wanted for him but then him stabbing the Alpha.

What made him do that.

I know there was no way he was gonna escape punishment this time.

Punishment, no not punishment, he definitely was dieing for this.

Hell, nothing must happen to my Cee, he won't get killed, he shouldn't get killed.

I sighed feeling my head almost exploding with thoughts.

I got to the castle and thrived the hallways walking to my room.

I paused when I heard the voices of Jasmine and Jessy.

I turned to the other side to see them standing at the other hall.

"You were asked to weed and clear thorned bushes, no wonder your hand has so much blisters." I heard Jasmine's voice say and I frowned.

I walked towards them.

"Jessy are you okay" I asked and they both stood upright and bowed lightly.

"My Lady" They choruses and I frowned.

"Since when did you guys start doing that" I stared at them a bit surprised at their bowing actions.

" We both realized we should always have done that" Jasmine said.

"Pls don't, don't do it " I said raising my palm and she nodded,.

"If you say so" Jasmine ended.

I turned to Jessy once more and took her palm, I inspected the injuries caused by the punishment and looked at her face.

"We should get this treated, it has blisters and it may be worse, and what sort of wolf King punishes by using the same thing he uses for his enemies" I scoffed as I held her wrist leading her away from the hall.

"You can't blame the Alpha Aeris, wolf's heal so he always uses minor things to cause the wolf's pain, he doesn't use silver since that could literally kill a wolf. Besides the farm man was kinder , he only used a little amount of ginger powder so it's quite minor "Jessy defended and Aeris raised a brow at her.

" Why do you all adore and always defend him so much, is it because you're bound to do so, or because__ "

" It's because it's true, he is ruthless, but he's a great king, we can't remember the last time we encountered famine, in fact we haven't, he's an Alpha that looks after his pack and protects them, he always goes out to fight wars even at the expense of his life, it was also in one of these wars that he released Tharros, history said Tharros would only be released when you promise to grant whatever the bloodthirsty god wishes for even when he hadn't made the wish..

Alpha wanted to protect us from his power hungry brother Logan, and since Logan's army was quite many since he involved rogues, Alpha was reduced to asking the god for help.

With the help of Tharros he was able to defeat Logan, and he cast him to the north region to never come back.

When the Alpha asked Tharros his wish, history said Tharros wanted to consume the entire wolf and stop the race of Werewolves but Alpha couldn't let that and so he wrestled with a god and he got hurt deeply and severally.

But he managed to to defeat Tharros with the help of Luna Athena.

He caged the god but every decade, Tharros would leave the cage and begin to consume the souls of Wolves.

Our Alpha couldn't sit and let that happen and while Tharros was caged one time, the Alpha made him an offer, an offer to always offer girls who hadn't discovered their Wolves to him.

That was very crucial because girls who hadn't discovered stheir Wolves where special breeds, Tharros felt exploring them and getting their Wolves out and also feast on their souls was fun, so he agreed and our Alpha has been doing it since then. "Jessy concluded while I wrapped up treating her wound.

I raised my eyes to her and blinked.

" Hmph, that doesn't make him cool, he's still someone who ends the life of the innocent "I said and Jasmine moved forward.

" You seem to not like our Alpha. "Jasmine said observatoryly and I shrugged standing up as I walked to the window.

" That's because I don't, I don't like your Alpha"I said truthfully and Jessy and Jasmine exchanged glances.

"Why" Jessy raised a brow and I turned to face the window.

"He snatched and crushed my most precious flower" I whispered.

I stared out the window and seriously I had to be truthful. The Alpha didn't wove his way into the hearts of the people, he did what deserved respect and his respect was earned.

But then as I always say, it's not me.

To me, he'll always remain an heartless bastard.

"If I ended your parents they they probably deserved it" I remembered his words in his room that time and I scoffed.

"He was totally heartless" I whispered.

*DECLAN'S CHALET *

Declan was sitting uncomfortably on the wooden seat in his yellowish glowed chalet.

His eyes focused on the rusty movement of the leaves as earlier replayed in his head.

He had tried to grab the sword from Caelan, he knew Caelan was attacking him but he couldn't prevent the sword from getting to him.

How was that possible.

Declan raised his right palm and stared at it, he stared at his fingers and back at his palm.

Fillion walked in at that moment rolling in a tray containing food.

"I'm getting weak" Declan said still staring at his palms and he slowly dropped his hand.

"I'm getting weak Fillion, I couldn't catch the sword, I knew he was going to attack but.... I couldn't catch it" Declan said dropping his hand.

"You stabbed yourself once with a silver sword, got healed by fire not naturally, you missing the sword was a side effect of it, the potency of your sword is high, so it's possible it's still affecting you, the strength of the silver sword" Fillion said not seeming too surprised, as he art aged the Alphas meal.

" It's not supposed to affect me as an Alpha and with the speed I tried to catch the sword with, I was supposed to get it, he was quite fast" Declan said observantly.

"I'm not sure he was, you were probably too slow" Fillion said bringing the dishes to him.

"I don't want them, take them away" Declan refused and Fillion stare at him still holding it.

"You haven't eaten for a week" Fillion said like a reminder.

"Take them later" He said, dropped the food and began walking away.

" Call Aeris" Declan said and Fillion paused but he continued walking.

He got to the door, turned around to face Declan and he bowed before shutting the door.

Declan stared at the food then looked away to stare at his hand, before lookin outside.

✵DARKFANG CLAN ✵

Logan stood on the blonde sandy ground with a smile on his face, the scar, a cracked mark on his face.

He was still shirtless like the previous night, hands behind his back.

The amber glow of the burning fire illuminated his face in a fall rise and spark stance.

The body of someone was in that fire and a pot containing something boiling was on the fire.

The cloaked guy made his way to the Alpha who just smiled all the time.

"He's been stabbed again, he's growing weak, our opportunity to strike keeps widening" The cloaked guy said and Logan took a breath smiling.

"It's getting perfect" He said and signaled to a guard to get him something of what's boiling.

"I can sniff my revenge in the air" Logan said as the guard approached with a golden cup.

"The blood of the Alpha of Ravenwood pack is completely boiled Alpha" The guard bowed offering the cup containing the boiled blood to Logan and Logan took it drinking from the cup.

"I'll be drinking his blood soon as well, And watch his body burn" He laughed like a demon and the people handling the fire increased the light.

Logan kept laughing, his teeth shining red with blood.

✵EMBER WOLVES ✵

_DECLAN'S CHALET _

Aeris stood in front of the door of the Alpha with a blank expression.

Fillion had informed her the Alpha wanted to see hee and she still didn't know why she came.

She turned around to walk away but the door opened by itself and a maid rolled a tray out.

"Enter" Declan said sitting on the couch and Aeris rolled her eyes walking in.

"Hey why the call" Aeris asked crossing her arms.

"I told you to be beside me when I woke up" Declan said and and Aeris yawned like she was tired.

"I need sleep Declan, get to your point, it's not like you slept anyways" Aeris said and Declan stared at her.

His eyes dancing through her glimmering skin from under the peach silk dress that stopped above her mid thighs.

His throat bopped in hunger and his eyes gleamed a red of feral need.

Aeris frowned noticing the way his eyes changed.

The new writings of his eye ball read nothing but Lust and she clutched at her dress biting her lower lip suddenly feeling nervous.

"Come here" He said, his voice spellbinding.

The aphrodisiac properties drew her and she suddenly found herself moving towards him.

She stood right beside him and gulped.

"Wha.."

Declan held her wrist and pulled her down swiftly and she landed on his thighs.

The needy requirements of his eyes as she stared at them, and those eyes did nothing but enchant her mind and trap her soul.

Declan trailed his fingers on her open thighs, her sweet Jasmine scent drawing him in and the passionate plea of his wolf to just access Aeris made him draw her near.

He placed his fingers at her neck and turned her head so her fresh neck was bare for him and he stared down lustfully at his mate.

He brought out his tongue and did a light flip on her neck.

Aeris shit her eyes and her mouth let out a raspy breath deprived moan.

That seem to tug at Declan's last string and he kisses her neck deeply.

"I need you, Aro'ka aro'lu"
