SWNOVELS Chapter Chapter No 53 Innocent?
I was all alone, crying in the middle of nowhere. I tried hard to connect with my mate, Michael my only hope but he was nowhere to be found. He got me pregnant before this chaos. I got up and decide to investigate the situation own my own but I have to keep good care of me too. I start keeping my eyes on River-stone pack. There was nothing enough I could know. One day I was out to sneak out on River-stone when I saw a pair of wolves, the female wolf seemed so much upset.
They were white wolf. Her mate was trying to mollify her. I felt my heart aching. I was lost into memories when I felt unfamiliar scent. The rogue wolves and he was about to injure a baby in basket and the other one was standing next to him. I howl a loud in order to alert the pair. I turned in to my wolf and the second rogue had start chasing me in order to kill me. I was heavily pregnant, all I wanted was to protect my baby but also that baby girl. I run as fast as I could I entered the deep forest and hide in the bushes. I have lost him.
Just then I felt sharp pain. I was in labor pain. It was extremely sharp pain. I did not turned into my human. I looked up. It was already dark and the full moon appeared in the sky. A tear fell from my eye.
“Mom goddess, help me with my difficult time,” I said.
It was extreme pain that I was gone collapsed. Everything turned dark and after that I have not remember anything.
When I woke up it was already early morning. It was cold. I opened my eyes. I felt something warm and soft near my breast. I was in my human now. It was my baby. I held him in my arms. He had Michael’s features. I hug him slowly, giving him my body warmth. He looked up at me and a smile appeared over his face. He smiles like Tyler. It reminds me of my elder son Tyler and I start crying.

I took my son in cave and put on wood on fire. I was still thinking about the girl whom I left in jungle with rogues, I hope those two white wolf’s have already protect her. I took my son in my arms and hug him softly. I named him John.
They have took Tyler away to our fellow pack, my mothers’ pack. Her brother is Alpha there. For years I have not seen my son.
Time has gone fast and 18 years has already passed. My son was now 17. I missed my other son Tyler. I have regular checked upon the River-stone. My son was exact look alike of mine. I wanted to meet him and tell him who I am but I was afraid about his safety. It was his 18 birthday, a biggest day for the White wolf Alpha. I wanted to attend that ceremony, so was dishearten because I know if I went there, I might not able to return.
My son, who could not see me like this walked towards me.
“Mum, why are you upset?” he asked me while bending in front of me.
“I wanted to attend his ceremony, he might have found his mate and I am missing everything” I said with tears in my eyes.
“Mum, could you hide your scent?” he asked.
“Yeah, I can, why?” I asked.
“Mum, do it,” he said while standing up.
I hide my scent. He raised his hand up and after a while something strange happened to my body.
I got up. He smiles at me.
“Mum, you are ready to go at brother’s birthday party,” he said.
“What?” I asked shocked.
“Mum, look at you,” he said and I walked towards the Clearwater pond.
I was about faint. My face, it was not my face.
“What? How did you do it?” I asked shocked.
“Mum, I don’t know, I wanted to tell you but strange woman came into my dreams few days ago and she said I am different and next morning strange things start happening to me, I could reshape things as if I am creating hallucination,” he said.
I walked towards him and touch his face afraid.
“My son, you, you are gifted,” I said shocked.
“What?” he asked me confused,
“Yeah, you are gifted my son, few of our generations are gifted and you are one of them, it happened because we are descendant of moon goddess,” I explained.
“Mum, I don’t know all this but all I know is I can’t see you sad, so tonight I am your fairy god mother and you are my Cinderella,” he said smile and whooshing his invisible wand in his hand.
I chuckled and kiss his forehead.
“My boy, I will be back soon, be save here,” I said and turned towards the Jungle.
******
That’s when I saw my son for the first time in a while. My eyes were filled with tears, My son, he so grown up without me and his father by his side. He stared at someone and I followed his gaze, it was blond girl who had purple eyes, I had strange feeling that I have seen that girl somewhere and then I looked at the woman standing next to her, It was the woman whom I saw the day my son was born and I alert the pair to save the girl. I realized that it was same girl.
I looked back at my son, he had strange expressions, while he was looking at the girl. After that I have seen him leaving, I followed him. I had a strange feeling. He was on phone. He looked so much tensed. I walked closer and hide behind the nearby tree, It was so quiet out there I could easily hear what the other person on the phone is talking.
“Listen upcoming Alpha, whoever is your mate, we already know, if you dare to claim her we will shoot her with wolf’s bane,” said the person on the other side of phone. My son looked furious. He hung up the phone.
“I won’t let anything happened to you Althea,” he muttered and left. He had not turned 18 yet there was still 1 minute left, but he already knew who would be his mate, he was so assure which mean he already know that girl.
I followed him again in the crowd. I need to know this girl Althea, she was in danger. I looked at the crowd, it was already 12 O’clock. Whoever is his mate would be alert by know. I looked at the direction where my son was looking. It was that blond girl.
I was surprised. I saved my son’s mate long time ago, moon goddess has her strange plans. But after that I felt the girl was tensed as if she heard something very bad, and then my son went on the stage.
“Looks like my mate is not here, as I am unable to meet her today, so we will delay the coronation,” he said with stone expression. My heart skipped a beat and I looked at the girl who was leaving the ceremony.
He blocked his wolf to save his mate, something that could lead his wolf losing control.
I wanted to follow that girl but she already left. Time was getting over I could lose the hallucination john has put over me, so I left.
******
After that incident I tried hard to get news over Althea but I have never seen her after that, until one day I saw Tyler marrying and that was not Althea. This was shocking for me, I wanted to tell everyone that I am the princess of River-stone Pack. They have changed rules by their own, we do not allow rogue because of our ancestor’s incident but we do not kill them.
This all was unbearable for me; John has mastered his illusion skills. I daily practice my mind link ability to reach anyone from the pack. My son was married to someone who is not his mate, this was not good, a sign of huge apocalypse in werewolf world. I was unreachable to anyone, until one day after many years, I was able to contact a boy, my own blood Caleb, son of my nephew.
*******
Hazel was jaw-dropped looking at the woman in front of her. “Holy crap” said Caleb while holding up his wound, he collapses.
“Take the boy near the fire,” said the woman.
A tall man came ahead, he had hazel eyes and brown hair. He looked at Hazel with interest.
The woman walked towards Hazel and stopped by her.
“Perfect image of me as if I am looking into a mirror,” said the woman.
“How can it be? You look exactly alike to me,” said Hazel.
“You are my granddaughter,” said the woman smiling. Hazel was jaw dropped again.
“Where is my brother,” said Willow, crashing into the cave.
“Relax dear, he is here” said the woman calmly.
“I have to heal him, he mind-linked me to come here” said Willow impatiently.
“He is near the fire inside,” said the woman.
Willow ran inside the cave followed by Justin.
“What really is happening?” asked Hazel, irritated.
“You need to calm down Hazel, I will tell you everything, I am waiting for your mother, she will be here by anytime” said the woman by looking at the cave.
“You know my mum?” asked Hazel.
“Yeah, I know her but she doesn’t know me” said the woman smiling.
“Now let’s go in, we need to look upon the boy” said the woman and turned.
Both Hazel and Eden exchange looks and follow her.
***********
“Wait what? Caleb is your Nephew?” asked Hazel shocked,
“Yeah, Ellis is my Nephew, grandson of my maternal uncle William,” Tiana said.
“So previous Alpha and Luna of the pack died?” asked Jacob. And Tiana nods sadly.
“Wait, are you telling me Alpha and Luna are dead? Then who are they?” asked Althea while looking into Jacob’s eyes. He also looked confused and then his expressions changed.
“It’s a pawn,” said Eden.
“What are you guys talking about?” asked Aria.
“Your parents are still playing a role in the world,” said Eden.
“What do you mean?” asked Tiana, shocked.
“When we were kids, we were sent to “our grandparents,” said Jacob.
“That’s impossible, your grandparents are dead,” said John, who spoke for the first time.
“Hold on, you are telling me mom and dad are alive?” she asked, shocked.
“Yeah, I remember, since childhood I have been hearing Jacob and Tyler are going to their grandparents,” said Althea.
“I have seen my mum’s dead body,” said Tiana.
“No, I have spent my childhood with them,” said Jacob.
He took out his phone.
“Here, look,” he said while showing them pictures.
“Mom, dad?” she screamed.
A very weak looking two people were laying on the bed.
“What happened to them?” she asked, crying.
“They are sick,” said Jacob.
“No, mum, they are not sick,” said Jacob.
She looked up at her son.
“Mum, look at the scar, I can see this scar on their neck,” he said.
She looked closely.
“No, this can’t be, they...they are draining their blood,” she said.
“What do you mean by draining their blood, how can it be?” said Althea.
“Althea, they are not after only our throne, but to our blood line,” she said.
“But why?” asked Althea.
“There are two kingdoms in werewolf world, white-wolf and Canis Lupus and other than that all kingdom are lower rank then these, our blood is stronger than any other wolf, they are taking my parent’s blood so that they could inject it into their bodies gaining immortality,” she said.
“Hold on, is it possible to gain immortality?” she asked.
“Yeah, it is, but only through our blood,” said John.
“This is a huge mess, we have to find this out,” said Aria.
“All of Floroscura packs are required in the pack house, River-stone has declared war against us,” it was Connor, he mind-link all the pack members.
“Alpha, now what?” asked Aria worried. Justin came out worried.
“Alpha, we need to be at the pack house,” said Justin. Althea looks a bit worried.
“He is your mate,” said Jacob while putting his hand on her shoulder.
“I have to protect my pack, even if the thread is my own mate, true Alphas never get back off from their duty,” said Althea.
“Your parents must be proud of you Althea,” said Tiana.
“My parents do not recognize me now,” said Althea sadly.
“They will,” when we figure this situation out, do you remember even if I can’t recognize you, if this was not for my mate I would have not come back,” said Jacob.
Althea nods.
“Let’s go,” said Althea,
“We are coming,” said John.
“But….” Althea tried to say something.
“This is my brother, and we are family too. There is no way, we are staying back,” said John.
Althea nods.
