Adrian's POV
I had no idea where I was. I hadn't thought to ask Mark. He had returned to the packhouse so quickly. I must be separated from the pack.
I couldn't talk to Mark about leaving the pack because he was in such a haste to get back. Everyone in the pack would understand I wasn't dead because of the pack bond. As a result, I had to disconnect and go Rogue. No one would think I was dead otherwise. I tried to remember what the ritual was for me to leave the pack. Although it was difficult, I finally remembered the emptiness I felt during the death of my father and mother.
'Demus, for God's sake, where are you, I need your urgent help.' My old wolf was still not around.
Looks like I was going to handle this on my own. I closed my eyes, I tried to meditate to remember. I do not know how but I found myself in front of Moon Goddess.
"Adrian, you're welcome. I understand how difficult it is for you to deal with all of these issues, but keep in mind that you are not alone. Aurora was taken from you. But I returned your wolf to you. It is in the healing stage; he will be totally healed and ready to serve you by the end of the night. Disconnection from the pack is a waste of time. You were never officially attended to their pack. As a result, there is no need to disconnect. You are still the Alpha of Blue Moon Pack.' She said.
'How could I be the Alpha without any of my pack members?'
'You are bright, my boy; you will locate your members, or, to put it another way, they will locate you.' Mark will inform your Beta of your disappearance and your Beta will track you down. Don't be concerned. Only be cautious tonight. Prepare Aurora's grave and enter the wilderness to hunt and locate a safe place to sleep. The rest will be handled by your wolf.'
Then she suddenly disappeared. When I came to, I was at Aurora's body.
I couldn't take my gaze away from Aurora's headless body. Her body was a few meters away from her head. Those lovely eyes were staring blankly at me. I walked over to Aurora and closed her eyes. I had only known her for a few days. Even though she had a lot of unpleasant memories from her brief life, she was full of joy and happiness. I felt a void inside of me now that she was gone. At the very least, I had avenged her by killing the Rogue. My sole companion, on the other hand, had died as well.
I looked around for something to dig for but found nothing but dry twigs. I managed to dig a not very deep grave by using dry branches like shovels. After that, I placed Aurora's head and body into the grave and covered it with earth. Then, in order to locate the grave, I found two flat stones and laid them on top of the grave's head.
I did all this while in a trance state. I finished my task and sat on the ground, leaning against a tree and praying to the Moon Goddess for Aurora. I hadn't got the chance to think about my dream my meditation. When the Moon Goddess said in my dream that she would take her with her, I hadn't grasped what she meant. Poor Aurora, she died for nothing. Then I remembered the rest of my dream.
What happened to Demus?
'Are you there, Demus?' Nothing but stillness, and no response to my questions. I believe the silver that was injected into me had a terrible impact on him. It had weakened my bond with him. The Moon Goddess, on the other hand, had promised me that Demus would guide me if I got dead-end or needed assistance. Despite the fact that I needed him desperately, he was too feeble to respond. I have to wait until night.
Going to the Shadow Pack was out of the question. If I went there, I'd be hurting Mark and his family.
