CARLYLE'S POV
“I'm not saying we would not return, Donnie. But let's make sure you get better
first. I can't afford taking you on the long journey in this situation.”
“Time is what matters, Alpha Carlyle. I'm okay,” Donnic insisted, her voice
steadier than I expected.
“No, you're not, Donnie. You're weak already, with depreciating energy,” I
countered, my concern etched across my face as I examined the wound inflicted
by the once benign White Dasier.
Her gaze held mine, determination flickering in her eyes. “If a war breaks out, will
you be able to cater for the large number of werewolves and supernatural beings
with depreciating energy?” Her question hung in the air, a profound challenge
that left me momentarily silent.
“No, you wouldn't be able to cater for all; you can only try your best. Then why
not. make preventions before it's too late? Think of the bigger picture,” she urged,
her words. resonating with a wisdom that surpassed the immediate
circumstances. In that moment, amidst the chaos of battle and the pain of
betrayal, Donnie compelled me to consider the broader implications of our
actions.
Her perspective cut through the urgency of the present, urging me to confront the
responsibilities that came with leadership. The looming threat of war and the
welfare of our kind demanded foresight and strategic planning. Donnie, despite
her weakened. state, embodied a resilience that inspired me to reassess the
priorities and take measures to safeguard the well-being of our community.
She was right. Time was running and the procedures to alert the supernatural
leaders. would take a long while.
“Alright, Donnie. I'll listen to you. The werewolves of my pack should be grateful
for having a Luna like you.” I muttered, placing a kiss on her forehead.
“It's nothing. Everyone being safe is all I wish for.” She uttered.
“Alright dear, if you insist. I will surely grant your wish.”
Carrying her up on her feet, I made sure she had the ability to work while leaning
on me. Our journey back is going to be tough and slow but I was ready for the
task. She has sacrificed so much for me just right after we settled our differences.
“How did that weapon form?” Donnie inquired, our pace deliberate and measured
as we retraced our steps.
“It was the White Dasier, and I'm finding it suspicious. Who did you say sent you
here?” I questioned, my thoughts wrestling with the unfolding mystery.
“It was Athena who requested the White Dasier, but I don’t think she’s the one
behind the whole thing, Donnic responded, her gaze fixed on the path ahead.
“You can never be so sure, Donnie,” I cautioned, a lingering doubt casting a
shadow over the situation.
“I don’t want to doubt Athena, Alpha Carlyle. You know, doubt is the root of all
bad relationships. The moment I begin to doubt her, I might find it hard to trust
her again. Moreover, I don't see a reason why I should doubt her. She knows
about the medicine so well. People from other packs sometimes come over to
collect drugs from her, and it works well. In fact, she has been teaching me the
art of healing over the years,” Donnie explained, her loyalty to Athena evident in
her words.
“I'm not saying you should doubt her, Donnie. All I was saying is perhaps try to
ask her. She could have a clue to what happened about the weapon forming out
of the White Dasier.” I paused. “Think about it. Have she ever sent you for herb
here?”
“No, she hasn't. But I feel it's because she has never needed it"
“Good! Now let's analyze it this way. For the first time, in years that you've been
with her, she sent you here for the first time, and I'm sure she must have insisted.
“Yes, she did.”
“So, she sent you here. we met somehow and we ended up here together with
that flower and that flower turned into a weapon. Think about it, Donnie. I'm not
saying you. should doubt her, but we can't rule out any chances at the moment.” I
said and for a while, Donnie kept silent.
It seemed as though she was thinking about what I said just like I really wanted
her to.
“That aside, how did you kill the beast? She asked.
“I won't lie to you at this stage but have it at the back of your mind that this is top
secret and must not be divulged to anyone who is not a royal member of the
Moon Shade.
“Is it that serious?”
“Yes, it is, and you will know what I meant when I say it. Would you rather not

it"
“No, I want to know. I promise not to tell anyone. The safety of my pack members
is also my priority and I will keep to it even though I've left the pack in a while.
“Okay, those people are called the death force”
“The Death Force?”
“Yes, I won't be able to tell you everything about them, but just know that they are
invincible under the alpha’s request; they are strong and they only listen to the
command, “kill.”
“That's much to know already. Why didn’t you use them when the Canthrastras
appeared?”
“That was because I wanted to know the current strength of the Canthrastras.
You know they've been locked up for decades. If we are to fight with them now,
we have to at least have an idea of how much chances we have. Only then can
we have a chance to survive in this fight.

“That's a good plan, to get anything?” I inquired as our journey. continued, the
weight of the recent events hanging in the air.
“Of course, I was, but I couldn’t get much because you were suddenly hurt. I had
to kill them before they killed you.”
“I'm sorry,” she muttered, a hint of remorse in her voice.

“You don't have to say that. It's not fault.” I reassured her, acknowledging the
sacrifice she made to protect me.
“Hmmn,” she groaned on the spur of the moment.
“Is everything okay?” I asked, sensing her discomfort.
“Sure, everything is,” she replied, but her strained tone betrayed the facade.

Suddenly, Donnie began shivering. She was running a very high fever that got
me very scared. Hurriedly, I rushed to her side.
“What's wrong, Donnie” I asked, touching her forehead which was wet with beads
of perspiration.
“I'm cold,” she mumbled. Pulling off my top without a second thought, I wrapped
her in it, hovering over her so that my broad chest would bring more warmth to
her. It was weird that she was cold as a werewolf but I took it as a result of her
weakness and the injury.

I leaned on one arm, touching her forehead to check if she was fine and her fever
was down.
“Oh, heavens! Thank goodness.” I murmured but I didn’t know if she heard me.
We stared at each other for a while without saying anything.
“Your eyes are beautiful.” She whispered.
“So are yours. You look like a damsel.”
Placing a light kiss on her cheek, I paused to see her reaction.
