I ran, and ran.
It took me 15 minutes to arrive at her room, all because of this silky dress that made me ran slower and also because my room was across the next building from this.
Even though i knew what would happen next, i know that i had to tell this to him no matter what. That my irresponsible mistake would be the cause of her death.
Every step i take towards the door made me shiver, it made me fear my life. Yes, maybe i have lived for a long time and i was still a lot older than him. But the thought that he can snap my neck in a split second.. who wouldn't fear such a Man?
"Alpha king!" I said opening the door surprisingly,
His head was still buried to her chest, obviously, he wanted to be alone, but i really have to say it to him. He needs to know.
"Alpha King." I repeated.
I heard a low growl as he twisted his head to face me, my eyes narrowed. He's a mess. He's hair messy and his eyes tired like a man who hadn't slept for a week.
He must really love her, mates never fail to amaze me.
"If i may, may i talk to you for a second?"
"No."
I rolled my eyes, how stubborn. "It's important Alpha King."
"Important? More important than her?" He hissed at me, his eyes black from anger.
I gulped, this was the first time i talked to him while he's in a bad mood. I've heard rumors that he hits people who irritate him. And here i am, the one and the only person who's interrupting his quality time with his mate.
I jest.
"If saving her life is more important than her, then yes."
The wind blew gently, obviously coming from the open window in the room. The wind entered like it was whispering silence. I relaxed a little when i saw him calm a bit, he's eyes back to its natural color.
I'm sure he wouldn't like my news.
"Go on."
"She has only one day to live-"
In an Instant, his right hand wrapped around my neck as if it was a suicide rope. Yes, i brought this to myself, killing me would be like suicide. Only that i didn't really want to die.
"A-Alpha-" i said trying to get him away from me, he's strong. My hands limped and felt numb at that time, and i don't have my wand.
Yep instant death if don't calm him down.
His face was inches away from me, he's breath like hot smoke and his eyes like the moon's shadow. I whimpered and let out a cry, am i going to die? No. i still have to tell him the rest.
"If you jest, you will regret appearing before me, Syrena." He glared at me so intensely.
He never called me a Witch, i knew that he knew what i am and what i lived for. But i also know that right now, he didn't know me. His anger consuming him completely. He was looking at me like a stranger who told him that her mate was dying.
"I do not jest, Alpha King!" I said in a straight sentence even though he was gripping my throat.
His face turning to complete horror and sorrow. His face turned to her bed and he looked at her like he looked at a cancer patient. He was losing hope, i thought.
His grip loosens.
I coughed a little and held my throat, red finger marks were probably there.
"The illusion spell that was contained by the barrier, it had dark magic that can hurt her a little. Also the removal spell. If i do the removal spell, the body pain that's she's experiencing will only worsen, her wolf refuses to heal her."
He didn't respond, he looked at her in a blank expression. His eyes cold like ice and his figure standing tall like a reaper in front of her. It was truly sorrowful to look at your mate dying. I knew that if your mate dies, the other will also. Probably because he/she couldn't take the pain from being separated from her.
But i won't let her die.
I don't know why her wolf won't heal her despite the damage that it was causing to her body. I think the white wolf knows that she can die, yet it doesn't care for her at all.
"We can still save her Alpha.." i said, my words full with sincerity. "A Spell, i know a Spell-Maybe not a Spell but the aids of the goddesses. Herbs made by the heavens!"
He glared at me. "Syrena, you can't seek the heavens, so do i."
That's true, i cannot show myself to the heavenly realm because i am a dark witch. Even if they find me somehow peculiar, i was still a Dark Witch. A creature that should never have existed in the first place.
And for him? He was banned from the heavens because he chose to bring Dark witches as myself to his Pack. The Elders had been longing for us to banish ourselves, but the Alpha King wouldn't do so.
"If we cannot seek the help of the heavens.. then i know someone, a White Witch who can help us."
"You know a White witch?"
"We're not that close but we respect each other, she knows who i am."
I met her a hundred years ago, i lived in a cabin long before i was in this Pack. I avoided the Dark Witches that was also my kind. Refusing to do dirty work even if i was born to do so. While i was in the forest i saw her, she was humming a tune near a lake. And that's where we talked, of course she was surprised that i was a Dark Witch.
But we separated when i joined this Pack.
"When? When did you last meet?" He said looking away from his Mate.
"A couple of years?"
"Syrena." He warned. As if he saw through my lie.
"Fine, it's been a hundred years since i saw her. But i'm sure she's still there, so we must hurry!"
"How can you be sure? I don't want to waste time so make sure you're right about this." He growled.
"She's there, i promise you."
