While Eva did her best to talk with all the people that surrounded her, Zach's eyes constantly moved around the group to check for the threat.
While he was busy all of a sudden it started and it started with Megan, who was enjoying cake standing by her husband's side,when suddenly her eyes widened and she held her stomach and bend down in pain, everything was getting blurred for her while her last thought was for her child, everything went black.
Marcus who couldn't understand what happened held her in his arms, his eyes in panic.He called for Lisa the clan Omega and healer " Lisa, do something".
Lisa quickly placed one hand on her head and another on her stomach and asked " Marcus,I need you to calm down and keep your wolf in check and explain to me what happened".
Marcus was going mad, his wolf was madly dashing around in his head, but his eyes were constantly on his wife " she was alright, she was with me, she didn't even eat anything yet. Suddenly her stomach hurt and she collapsed. Lisa I don't care for my pup, just save my mate. It's not time for her delivery she is just five month pregnant".
Lisa nodded and closed her eyes " I found no poison in her body but their is an energy that is covering the child and it is slowly eating her on the inside while spreading slowly. She does not have Lycan gene, so no natural healing is happening. As it is not a poison it can't be removed by me. I am sorry Marcus I can only control this energy to stop attacking her system for one hour by setting a barrier around her, but after that. I am sorry".
While Lisa was explaining to Marcus who was devastated this started happening to another and then another. Clan started panicking, for wolves their mate and children were everything for them. They were thier sanity and in just ten minutes all the pregnant woman were collapsed, though they were just 12 of them but that meant there was a chance complete 12 wolf family will be lost.
While this was going on a voice shouted and ran towards Eva " we were told, you can bring Lycan gene back in the clan, but look what's happening. All the women that touched you have collapsed, you are the bad omen that descended on this clan. We should just kill you, you witch".
Soon the whole clan became silent, Zach growled in anger while Eva went pale. All eyes looked at her with accusations. Marcus growled, he had almost turned in anger " Zach, I trusted you as my friend but if it has anything to do with your mate. I will kill her and than you".
Rat and mouse along with Zach covered Eva from all the clan members who could attack her any second, they too felt sad for the clan women but they believed in Zach and they knew his mate was not responsible for this Thus they aimed to protect her from mob lynching that could happen any minute now While Eva had her eyes closed, she was muttering " what did the fairy healer taught us, try to remember Eva".
Eva was what we call a bad student in the class she was never interested in learning and just having fun. But she had bright mind and once taught something she would never forget. Luckily she attended the class about dark energy. Though it was not common now, dark energy attack were most common two thousand years back and pregnant woman were most susceptible to this than normal supernatural entity, where it would take one month for it to attack normal werewolf it took just one day for pregnant woman.
She removed her necklace her wings came out and she started looking around, because this festival was about nature it was happening inside the clan forest. Her eyes scanning around her and paused on the blessing wall that was built near the entrance.
It was wolf custom where all the pregnant woman arranged rocks one above the other for the blessing of their children and they had to place it near the entrance as a symbol of clan's prayer to goddess Celene.
Suddenly she whispered something in Zach's ears. He nodded and turned to wolf and they went running towards the center of the jungle, without explaining anyone anything.
Rudolf and Martha went pale, they never expected their son to run from the problem. A panic spread everywhere. People started cursing them for their troubles. Soon Martha stood up and spoke in loud voice " I am your female alpha and I understand your pain. As Lisa said we have one hour. I trust my son, if he left he have a reason and if it can't be solved in one hour I promise I myself will handover my son and his mate to you to do whatever you want for revenge".
Rudolf went near his mate and held her hand, he trusted his wife and son's judgement and if he was wrong he was willing to loose everything.
Though most of the people became silent and went near their mate, where Lisa was working non stop to control the barrier that was covering twelve women at a time. Sweat covered her, it was very tiring mentally but she had to give everything she could.
While Zach and Eva entered densest part of the forest " this is it, this is the most dense area in the entire forest. Look if you can find what you need". Eva nodded and caressed the tree trunk near her, shaking her head she kept moving while closing her eyes. Without her knowing she was humming something which made the trees around her move their branches with specific rhythm.
