Chapter NAIVE
Badar and Mahnoor kept looking at the two prisoners in amazement and disbelief.
“Mom!!!” they both said at the same time
The two women in the prison looked pale from not being exposed to sunlight for so many years, their clothes were ragged and thou there was so physical sign of torture but they looked weak.
The two women narrowed down their eyes in attempt to recognize who these two new people were and then their eyes widened in recognition.
“Badar!!!!”
“Mahnoor!!!!”
They both said at the same time.
“Martha open these locks up immediately” Badar said angrily as he couldn’t believe that his dad had not only captured Mahnoor’s mom but his own mate as well. Why would he do this?”
“I am sorry Alpha but I can’t, only Alpha Ryan had the keys to these cells and he has also put a spell in here so that no prisoner or any other person who comes here can break it using their werewolf strength”
“Go bring John, Olivia, Maria and London. And tell John to bring something to open this lock up with” Badar said facing Martha.
“Badar my love, is it really you?”
“Yes mom it’s me, John and Olivia are coming too” Aliya nodded as she tried to get up but fail because she was too weak.
“Mahnoor my angel, you look even more beautiful than I would imagine you look like” Sara said
“Oh goddess mom, we all thought that you have died. I missed you so much” Mahnoor said as tears were coming out of her eyes.
Just then John, Maria, Olivia and London entered the prison with Martha. John had a hammer in his hand.
“Luna!!!!” London said looking at Sara.
“Badar who is this?....... Wait, is this mom?....... But I thought mom had died when I was really young” Olivia said in confusion.
“Olivia my child you look so beautiful, and John, Oh how I begged Ryan to let me hold you in my arms, to take care of you but he didn’t even let me hold you once, not even when you were just born.
“We’ll talk about it later, first let’s get you out of this cell” John said and he smashed the hammer on the lock to break it.
Badar and John helped Aliya get up and get out of cell while Mahnoor and London helped Sara.
“Get two doctors to come to my guest room immediately and find some clean clothes and bring them there as well” Badar said to Martha.
The doctors came and gave Aliya and Sara vitamins injections as there was nothing wrong with them other than being malnutrition, the doctors also gave sleeping injections to both as they needed to restore their energy.
John, Maria, London and Olivia got up and went out to let Aliya and Sara rest.
“Mahnoor love, come lets go, let your mom rest a bit, we can come meet them as soon as they wake up”
“No, what if she wakes up and needs something and I am not there by her side. You can go if you want” Mahnoor said to Badar.
“Well then, scoot over so I can sit as well” Mahnoor moved aside and looked at Badar with admiration. Mahnoor leaned her head on Badar’s shoulder as she looked at their moms’ resting.
“I could come up with reasons on why he kidnapped my mom but why did he imprisoned his own mate, did he not love her?” Mahnoor asked her head still on Badar’s shoulder
“I don’t remember, I was very young when he imprisoned her. I remember very little if that time” Badar said taking Mahnoor’s hand in his.
“Tell me something about her that you remember” She said looking up at him.
“I remember that when I was young I would get jealous of John a lot. Whatever mom would buy for me whether it was clothes, shoes or toys she would buy one for John as well and would give it to him whenever he would come to play with me. I would get so jealous thinking that he is getting clothes and toys from his parents and my mom. And to think of it all now, the people who we thought were his parents didn’t treat him well and are not his real parents. And mom was just trying to provide for the child who was forcefully taken from her. I used to so naïve and stupid back then, I still was till you came” Badar said leaning his head against Mahnoor’s
“I’m such a horrible person” Badar said
“Badar you can’t call yourself horrible just because you felt jealous of John, it’s normal to feel that”
Badar shakes his head “I’m not talking about that. Did you know that I used to get nightmares in which I would hear people screaming? I used to think that it was from a memory of the day mom died, well imprisoned. They went away when I met you, but when I thought you had died they returned again. Now I think they are the screams of people whose families I have hurt. I have done so many horrible and unforgiving things that even thou you have returned, the screams still won’t go away” Badar said as a single tear fell from his eye.
“Hey Badar look at me” Mahnoor said. When Badar didn’t turn towards her she took his face in her hands and made him look at her.
“What has happened in the past has already happened, you cannot change it, and all you can do is learn from it and try to make better choices. You always let emotions lead your life, the decisions you make are driven by what you are feeling at that moment. Life is unpredictable, I cannot live my life in the fear that if anything were to happen to me or any other person you care about, you will go back in the darkness you came from, make harsh decisions that will haunt you. Please Badar promise me that you will try to get control over your emotions”
“Mahnoor, I will not sit back and do nothing while someone hurts people I care about, I will not do that”
“I am not asking you to do that, all I’m asking is to not make any decision or do anything that you will regret later”
“Okay, I promise love” Badar said as he kissed Mahnoor on the forehead. Just then Badar’s eyes dilated indicating that he is talking to someone through pack bond.
“Who was it?”
“One of the pack member that I had asked to look through books about knight wolf. They hadn’t found anything in pack’s library but they did find one book in dad’s library about it. I have asked him to bring us the book later but in general he is saying that knight wolf were first and last seen over a thousand years ago. Knight wolves were two people who were mates to each other. They both were give two natural elements they could control, they could also control other physical objects as well, also their normal werewolf abilities were heightened, so that means they had more speed and strength compared to others”
“It seems close to what Maria said. By the way when did you ask them to look in Ryan’s office as well?”
“When we were bringing our moms here. I knew we won’t be able to look into it ourselves today so I asked them to do”
