Her Cold-Hearted Alpha Chapter 113
Delsanra
RAYHAN
It had been two days and nights yet still , she managed to escape us . I was one of the best trackers in The Black Storm Pack .
Despite being an Alpha , I had the ability to blend in well .
I was fast , sharp and nothing got past me . Well , not until now .
This little witch was impressive despite the fact her powers were sealed , but I was beginning to doubt that , especially with how
well she was hiding her tracks . That was until now , when we finally rounded in on her . The difference ? I hadn’t slept and we
hadn’t stopped –
I’m sure the witch needed sleep more than us wolves . We were now on some rocky terrain , dense with forestry . She was smart
to stick to paths near water , but that also meant there would be plenty of trees around . We had been searching high and low , I
had a feeling she was retracing her steps too .
The sun would soon set and I needed to find her . The other problem was that there were some Manangal in these woods . We
had come across three already . Uncle had said there was a high chance for some to still be out there , and it seemed like it was
true .
” Alpha . ” Lola said quietly as she landed next to me , passing me a pair of pants as w e shifted back . Lola was the daughter of
the current Beta , and she would be my Beta when the time came . She was two years older than me , strong and one of my
closest friends .
” What is it ? ” ” Shall we proceed , or do you plan to go alone ? ” She asked , pulling on the oversize shirt . I flashed her a smirk ,
” We need answers , I think going alone would work out better . I’ll mind link you i f things go wrong . Just be on the lookout , i f
she tries to get away , knock her out .
” Got it . ” She said , cracking her knuckles . ” Really Lola , she’s as weak as a newborn pup . Go easy on her . ” I said as I
walked closer to the faint scent , looking down at the river thirty feet below the cliff edge . ” Oh ? Then she shouldn’t get past you
, should she ? “
” Well ... I have to be a gentleman . I can’t g o hitting women . ” I said lightly , as I gave her a small nod , glancing at the few men
who were with us . They knew their job and each one nodded before I jumped off the jagged edge and landed on my feet upon
the ground below .
Now to find the witch ... I scanned the area , smirking as I looked at the rushing river , the upended tree , some hedges ...
Where are you hiding , witchy ? I looked back at the upturned tree roots ... She is only sixteen and is said to be very small .
I sniffed the area , getting closer to the tree , a smirk of victory crossing my lips . Oh , this little mouse has nowhere to run t o now
... I saw the piles of nettles and thorns that were piled together and my smile vanished . A sliver of guilt rushed through me as I
moved the prickly bushes , tossing them aside .
There she lay i n the fetal position , her knees tucked into her chest , her pure white hair , which was patchy with dirt , covered
her face . Her heartbeat was very faint , I wondered how I didn’t pick it up , but I guess with the rushing river ... and it seemed
she was so exhausted that she didn’t even hear me approach .
She was tiny ... If I didn’t know she was sixteen , I would have assumed she was about twelve . Bruises , runes and wounds
covered her bare arms and legs . A fresh rash thanks to the nettles added to her already battered body and I stepped back ,
Did we push her to resort to this ? She knew she was being followed ... Her scent of orchids and ylang – ylang drifted into my
nose and I crouched down , reaching out , but before I could even touch her , she jolted up .
Her startling blue eyes were wide with fear , a fear that soon turned to anger and hatred . ” Stay away ! ” She shouted hoarsely .
Her voice was soft , but it held strength . Everything I had planned went out the window .
I was not going to manhandle a girl who had been through hell from the looks of it ... even if she was a witch . What Kiara said
now made sense . ” Alright ... I won’t approach . We just have some questions . ” I said softly , raising my hands in surrender .
She glanced at me , then looked away , shaking her head bitterly . She didn’t believe me . ” We just want to know , what day
Endora will attack . ” I asked quietly . ” First ... Let me go . ” ” Now I can’t do that , can I ... I need an answer first , then you’re
free to go .
” I said softly . ” She’ll find me and kill me if I answer that , but then again , you dogs wouldn’t care if I die , right ? ” She spat . For
someone so young , she held a lot of hatred .
I ignored the insult and ran my hand through my hair . ” If you tell us , I can take you to wherever you’re going . To safety . ” I
suggested . Our eyes met and I took a moment to look at her properly . She was a pretty thing behind the bruises and cuts .
Severely malnourished but with about fifteen or twenty kg weight gain , she’d look pretty good . ” And why should I trust the kind
who has abused me ? ” She asked quietly . I saw the darkness and pain in her eyes . I wonder , what has she been through ?
” I’m not asking you to believe me , I just want an answer ... If Endora attacks , many innocent people will die . ” ” You mean
werewolves . What’s wrong with that ? You are all monsters anyway . ” I could smell the fear from her , yet at the same time , she
was still saying whatever she wanted .
” Not all of us , I would remind you that the witches have done a lot of harm to us as well ... but that won’t get us anywhere .
Look , I won’t pretend that I like your kind or pretend that we are going to get on . But we really need to know and what do you
think ? Once Endora’s done with us , she will let you go ?
” I didn’t like the fact I was using that line o n her , but we were running out of time . ” She’ll come for you and whatever power
you possess ... ” I looked her over , I could faintly smell that she was a witch , but there was nothing that showed she was strong
or full of darkness .
Perhaps it was the runes , I had heard about witches many do you want to stay her ? ” be asked eetly ” Because many innocent
people will die , family , friends , loved ones the won’t stop until she gets what she wants , and that is to de She looked at her
hands and I saw the number of cuts that covered them .
She seriously needed to see a doctor .... ” Endora will attack in nine days ... On All Hallows Eve . The night when ” When
darkness is at its strongest Halloween . ” I said , how could we have not seen that ..... ” But that’s not what she needed ...
She is looking for the moment the barrier to the underworld is at its weakest ar She gasped and I looked at her sharply , seeing
the runes beginning to glow a deep orange . ” What’s happening , are you- ” ” Don’t touch me ! ” She recoiled from my touch as
she began trembling . Her eyes were filled with tears .
” 2.39 am . That is the moment she will try to resurrect the dark witches of the past . You need to make sure she doesn’t socceed
.
That is the moment she will also be at her weakest . She will She whimpered as tears of pain filled her ” Ok , look , stop . ” ” I
said . I knew a spell when I saw one . She was hurting herself , to tell the truth . ” It’s fine , I understand- ” ” No ! She will not
attack the pack of the Lycan king .
” She broke into hacking coughs , whimpering in pain . I wanted to do something , but there was nothing ...
Her words hit me and I wondered what she meant . ” She will start her attack where the first witch is buried , the ground near the
‘ Ray there are too many ! ‘ Lola’s voice came through the link .
‘ Don’t worry about ime , protect yourselves . I’ll manage ! ‘ Just then , I saw two of the creatures come rushing towards us . I
turned to the girl who was staring at them , bending down and scooping her up . My heart skipped a beat when her eyes met
mine , pure shock clear in them .
But we didn’t have time to stop , I broke into a run . She was as light a s a feather . She didn’t touch me . Her arms were
wrapped around herself . ” How the hell did they get here ?! ” I growled , glancing back at them . ” 1 ” To make sure I never speak
.
” Then why- Fuck ! ” I hit the ground when a Manangal lunged at us , slashing through my back , its disgusting scent filling my
nose . Delsanra went tumbling and I looked at the large cliff ahead . Panic filled me , but she stopped rolling a few feet from the
edge .
We had nowhere to go . There was the river far below , but that would do us n o good ... I stood up , lunging at the first of the
Manangals . It lurched towards me , its claws raised .
I glanced back at her seeing another two rushing towards her shifted , ripping it apart before I growled , leaping through the air
and knocking them away from her . One fell over the edge and I tore the other one to bits . The taste of their blood in my mouth ,
I looked at the last one as it rushed towards her .
I jumped forward and bit down on its neck , ripping it apart . Blood splattered everywhere and I shifted back . ” Where will they
attack ? ” I asked . ” Only tell me , if you’re able to ... ” ” 1 She looked up at me , her eyes filled with confusion and curiosity . ”
The Pack of the Deimos Prince .
” She mumbled , gripping her hair , as she screamed in agony . The runes on her body were now turning a burning red .
” The Blood Moon Pack ... ” I looked at her sharply , reaching to help her up . ” Look , I know someone who can help . ” She
recoiled from my touch and crawled t o the edge of the cliff . Her eyes filled with fear as she looked at me . ” I gave you the
answers you wanted ...
” She staggered to her feet as she neared the edge . ” Delsanra ... If you jump , you will die . ” ” And if I stay here ... I die . ” She
countered . I saw the trickle of blood from her nose and realised she was dying anyway .
With the state she was in , there was no guarantee I’d get her back to Kiara in time . I looked at her . Her dirty white hair was
blowing in the sharp wind , the setting sun made her hair glow . Mixed with the blood and dirt were fresh tears .
Her plump lips quivered as she looked over the cliff . She was scared ... but she felt it was the best option . That hurt . Why did it
hurt ? ” Why did you help if you knew it would kill you ? ” I asked softly , watching her chest rise and fall as she looked down
below .
I moved closer , wanting to pull her away from the edge . ” Because you have those you love ... I have no one . ” She said ,
looking at me through her tear – filled eyes . I swallowed , feeling her pain myself .
I didn’t get it , but something about this farewell was messing with my head . I had to stop her , surely there was somewhere she
could go . ” The daughters of Hecate always ask for something in return for helping .
I know ..... I am darkness ... but even then , may I ask for a favour ? ” She whispered , her soft voice carried on the wind . I
nodded , thinking no , she was not darkness . The setting sun burned behind her and at that moment she looked ... as if she
didn’t belong to this world ...
” Don’t stop me . ” My eyes widened as her words sunk in , just as she jumped . ” No ! ” I shouted , rushing to the end as I looked
over the deep ravine . All I could see below were clusters of trees and the narrow river filled with rocks far below .
I scanned the area but could see her nowhere .
There was no way she could have survived that fall ... My heart was thudding and although I knew she was a witch ... she had
been innocent , another victim . I stood up , my heart pounding and knew I’d never forget that tear – stained face .
I closed my eyes , not knowing why this felt so painful . Pull yourself together , Rayhan . I shifted and ran back the way I had
come . I needed to tell everyone what I had learned ...
