Silas Henris's
I'm going for a patrol since it's my turn to do it. The four Alpha King candidates as of myself do this shit always. While roaming around the campus, I heard everyone whispering about a witch attacking students at the campus field. At first, I don't believe them but I decided to go check it to make sure, I believe witches are being kept in us their powers by that toy.
As soon as I get there I saw a witch in a deep green cloak, her face is covered with her hood so I can't recognize her. But I smell a very astonishing scent. I don't feel that she is dangerous but the fact that she is a witch won't change the fact that she might betray us if we trust her and attack when we put our guards down.
She leaves immediately after we have a little conversation. It feels like she is very familiar. I don't remember I meet her somewhere before, but the voice is very familiar.
" Silas! " A girl shouted my name sweetly. I look at the girl and smiled. What is she doing here? " Silas, I miss you very much. I made a snack for you, " she said. She hugged me and I nuzzled on her neck, damn this scent is incredible.
Everyone look at us, I'm an Alpha and in the future, she will be my Luna.

Evita Deighton's
We end up in a shabby cabin. " Why did you bring me here? " I asked he turned around to face me. " They're here, " He said and I looked at him, shocked.
" Then why won't you let me be with them? " I said in a little angry tone. I hugged my stomach when I felt a little discomfort. " Hey, are you okay sis? " he said while walking to me and he held me.
" I'm fine, you have to let them go. We must leave, " I said pushing him away from me. I sense the pain he felt when I pushed him away. I felt sorry for what I did.
Even tho I'm feeling a little guilty over what just happened my kin must come first. I entered the cabin without him leading the way and start searching for them that hiding in the corner. " Evita," they said and a sense of relief fasten on their faces. "We have to go," I said and began to cast a spell. They hurriedly go to my side. I look at him one last time and smiled bitterly, maybe in our next life when everything is not so complicated maybe I could be her sister again. Maybe we become a family again.
When we arrived at the Coven everyone is waiting and hurriedly go near us when they saw us. I smiled and look at them crying in relief, but my knees felt so weak and I fall on the floor. " High Priestess! " everyone said and gaps, " It's okay, I just feel a little tired since I used up all my energy for this. " I said and smile while slowly standing up and going to my room. A young woman assists me in walking there since it is difficult for me.
" Thank you very much, you can leave me here now. " She nods and leaves the room, I lay my back on the soft mattress and slowly rub my stomach, " Are you alright there my little angel? " I said while closing my eyes and trying to feel another heartbeat besides mine. I smiled when I feel it under my fingertips, she is really strong. And so, I fall asleep after checking my baby that she is fine.
•◇•◇•◇•◇•◇•◇•
This place seems so familiar, I walked down the path and saw the cabin that I used to live when I was still unconscious, this is where my love started all. I smiled and hold my bump that is obvious now, this is the dream realm after all.
I look at my baby bump and smiled so sweetly, " You grow up pretty fast. " I said and chuckled. The elders say since I am powerful, the baby could get all the nutrition and power she could get to grow up and that is why she is growing so fast.
" Who are you? What are you doing here?" A familiar voice, I smiled and looked around and see his face full of relief and a little shock. We talk and talk like we always do and share kisses that would make me blush after.
" I wish I could meet you," I said and cuddled more on his chest. He stopped brushing my hair with his fingers and kiss my forehead while his hand hold my back for assistance.
" I wish this is not just a dream too. " I look at him, his eyes are full of longing. Longing for me and the baby he thought he have, only in this dream.
I woke up because of the commotion downstairs I slowly get up on my bed and go outside to see what is happening when they see me they stood up and greet me with a slight bow. I sat in the middle of the table and they followed afterward.
"What happened? Is it very important that you could disturb my wonderful dream?" I joked but everyone seems to take it seriously that they couldn't reply. I faked a cough and signed them to continue.
They are arguing about the letters they receive from fallen covens like Cygnus Coven and Scorpius Coven. " They are requesting some help from us but if we do, the werewolves might track us down. " One of the elders argue. They keep arguing about helping them out or not, it makes sense after all we prioritize our coven's safety. And we didn't publicize our existence.
" We should help them. " I said after thinking very hard, I ended up risking everything. " But High Priestess, we can't gamble our safety for them. We are not involving ourselves in their war, if we help it means we're in. " She is right but I remember what every witch goes through that hell of what they called school. Some witches lose their loved ones and become slaves. I know because my ears are wide open and I listen. I can't ignore their miseries.
" If you're afraid of your safety, you didn't trust me that much. " I said and stand up, " If you do trust me then I'll do my very best for everyone's safety. " After that, I go outside the old mansion and take a deep breath of fresh air.
Esmeralda one of the young maidens here takes care of the children that playing outside. I look at them and it makes me more at ease imagining my daughter running along with them. How happy could we be if her father could stay with us? It must be amazing to have him by my side raising our kid.
Remus is walking in my direction so I waved and say hello. " High Priestess, I would like to thank you for saving us. " He said and leaned a little to kiss the back of my hand that he was holding.
I smiled to tell him that it's fine and his welcome. Remus asked me if I will continue to go to that school but I only looked at him, I want to but I can't, after what happened that day, I can't anymore. I don't want to see Keanu I'm not ready to face anyone from my old pack. " I guess not, my job is done anyways," A hint of sadness appeared in his eyes, and disappointingly nodded.
•◇•◇•◇•◇•◇•◇•
When the sun sets, everyone in the coven is gathering, encircling the big stone where our ancestors engrave a secret spell of protection. The debate over the matter of helping other covens continued. I who is tired of arguing with them sat on the big chair designed with wilted vines and roses that were preserved by magic.
I watched them argue and I just yawned. I stand up and walk through the woods and they don't even know that the chair is now empty. I understand that lending some help might get us into trouble but I can't just watch, I want this war to stop. A sudden cracking of branches was heard from the back so I immediately looked around to see if someone is following me, but there is none.
I walked again but now with a wariness. I feel like a dozen pairs of eyes watching me. Then I secretly cast a spell and I could see anything with the sight of shadow creatures that I summoned. Wolves! we are under attack!
" Surge, creaturae, quae numquam datum est casu ut a lucem! " after I loudly cast the spell, more shadow creatures, and bigger ones arose from the land wolves attacked me when they noticed that I knew they were hiding. But the shadows stop them tackled them down the hard cold piece of soil. A scream echoed in the woods and I hurriedly runoff into that direction.
When I arrived I saw a big silver-coated wolf growling at a girl and an injured Esmeralda reaching out for the girl.
Purple lights attacked the wolf, making him thrown away on a big tree. I am about to heal Esmeralda but it's too late. " Thanks, Moon Goddess. " after she thanked the Goddess she closed her eyes while smiling so peacefully.
It broke my heart, this is what gonna' happen if we joined the war. I can't stand the sight. I don't want this to happen. I run to the ancient stone and when I arrive everyone is fighting I make sure the kids that Esmeralda protected is secured in a safe place.
I touched the stone and the ancient language drew their lighting up. I cast a spell to strengthen the protection spell that protected us until now after that every wolf vanish. They are going to forget about this place.
After that, I looked around to see everyone agonizing at the sight of their loved ones' lifeless and bloody bodies.
A sense of guilt flowed down through me. I cried too. It is all my fault.
Then everyone looked at me with sadness and madness in their eyes. Yeah, I am the one to blame I'm sorry. " So what now Priestess? " a young woman cried out and everyone looked at me.
" Is this what you called protecting us? Everyone looked at me again. I can't see any hint of understanding in their eyes.
" You have to avenge us, Priestess," another woman said.
" I heard both of you came from a coven that falls a year ago. My people don't even dare to tell me such things, I understand that you lost your loved ones but is it okay for you to blame it on me? I lost something precious too, Did you know how I felt when all of this happens? " I didn't hear any complaints from them when I voice out my frustration. I really do understand.
A load crash was heard after I said those things. " You crazy bitch! " I yelled, she smashed the ancient stone that protects everyone from harm.
" We should all die," she said and murmur as she mumbled a spell I can't hear clearly and her whole body burned in instant.
And she vanished with the wind.
