“She? Did she do this to you?” l already knew Stilts was powerful, so to see these wounds on him. This wasnt done by an omega.
“Who?!” Nadine growled.
Stilts laughed and looked at the tiger. “Darcia.”
“That omega couldnt-” Nadine began to say, but stilts began to laugh loudly.
“She realy had you fooled. It was only her wolf that was weak. Do you know what she is?”
I watched as Nadine nodded her head. “Yes, she is a part witch.”
“HA” Stilts sneered. “That wasnt no witch. You let evil in through the front door. You embraced it and kept it near. When the whole time, it had one purpose. Clover.”
He looked at me and then back to Nadine. “That was a demoness… a high-ranking demoness.”
“You should have told us-” Demetri started, but Stilts chuckled, shaking his head.
“She would have killed you all. The little lady isnt ready for her yet.. but she will be. That is what we will work on now.”
“How do you know she wont come back with an army?” I asked, and Stilts paused thoughtfully.
“l guess we dont.” He smirked at me and waved his cane to the open field. “We had better get to work.” I pressed my l!ps together and couldnt stop the feeling in the pit of my stomach.
“You have to get control over them so you know what they can do. It is the best way to prevent further accidents.” Stilts said, practically reading my mind.
“I understand that, but…” I sighed and looked back at where they had taken Doug. If the moment wasnt quite as urgent, I needed to see him first. I wish Sion was here. He would be able to see his soul and could explain to him that it was an accident. Maybe Dougs soul could see me? If so, it was even more important for me to go and apologize to his body. I didnt want him to become a vengeful spirit. As Sions mate, I should also be able to see souls, but I think this will only happen after I die. Until then, I need Sion near me to see them.
Yes, I needed to see Doug first. It was the only way I could at least push this back for now so that | could concentrate on fighting. Though, I wouldnt be able to simply forget. I had a feeling this was going to be another Scar I carried on my heart.
“I have to show my respects to Doug first and tell him how sorry I am. In case his soul is around.. I want him to know I didnt mean…” I stopped not being able to finish the sentence.
“Then lets go to him,” Demetri said in a soft, gentle tone. I turned my head to see his sad, gentle eyes looking at me.
“Doug would never hold a grudge against you for this. He couldnt wait for the day when you would come here…” Nadine stopped talking abruptly and her face paled, her l!ps parted as her eyes glazed over. Impossible.”
I looked at Nadine anxiously waiting for her to speak. Her brows were knitted together for a few moments before the creases faded away. The glaze from her eyes disappeared and she let out the breath she was holding.
“What is it?” I asked and watched as her eyes flashed down to me.
“You need to come with me.” She said softly as Kai scoffed. He shook his head and moved in next to me.
“No offense, but I dont trust anyone here. This pack is whack.” Kai snorted as Nadine growled at him.
“Dont forget who came to her aid when she was fighting earlier. You know… when you were no where to be seen.” Nadines voice was lethal and icy, but she slowly inhaled and nodded her head. “Although, I understand how you feel. The gauntlet probably seems weird to you, but it isnt intended to be malicious. It is to prove the strongest is leading the pack.”
“Yeah, we dont have to do that sort of crap since a proper Alpha is always the strongest,” Kai retorted hastily.
“Feel fortunate that you have never lost your Alpha without having their heir old enough to take their place.” With her words he instantly pursed his l!ps together.
“Your gauntlet is just a nice way to say challenge for the Alpha title. Not to check who is the strongest, but for the one who wants to be the leader.”
I cleared my throat and patted Kais back.
“I think this is all going off topic. Nadine has not given us a reason not to trust her. And she isnt saying you cant come with me?” I glanced at her, and she nodded her head with a small smile on her l!ps.
“Dont worry. I am ready to shred anyone at a moments notice. Clovers safety is of the utmost importance. Id gut Demetri here in a second if I thought he was trying to hurt Clover, no offense.” Odell glanced at the centaur who simply shrugged.
“None taken. I think that is normal, Odell. How about you Kai? Would you attack Conner to protect Clover?” Kai chuckled and looked at me with a small smile. “I would even fight against Sion to protect you. Not that I would have to… and it would be a death sentence.” He ran his hand through his hair as a sheepish grin spread across his face.
“But would you protect Sion if she attacked him? Because I would still be on her side.” Odell said with a crooked smile.
I watched as Kais brows furrowed together. Kai is my officer now, but he was first Sions. He has been with Sion longer, so naturally he would be more protective over him. I honestly didnt think it was a fair thing to say.
“Kai, you dont have to-” I began to say, but he answered.
“I would too.” He smiled at me as I looked at him in shock. “From the moment I met you l felt a responsibility towards you. I was separate from my wolf for so long and I have him back now because of you. In a way, it was like a type of rebirth for me. And when that happened, my loyalties have shifted to you. I think I was always meant to be your officer.”
I didnt know what to say. I was honestly really touched to hear his words. I mean… I never had that before. Not that I would ever want him to fight against Sion, even on my behalf. Still, it was nice to hear.
I have heard that some wolves have a natural connection to others. Some have thought it was because their wolves knew the other in a past life.
Most believe there is another type of connection.
Just like the mate bond. There is the chosen mate bond and the multiple different fated mate bonds.
Then there is the officers bond. There are the chosen officers, but then there is the other level.
Some believe some officers are fated to their Alpha. This is why a lot of officers come from former officers. The bond carries down.
