Death Wolf Saga
Death Wolf Chapter 59 (Book 2)

Alexandria’s pov

It’s dark. Too dark for my eyes to gather my surroundings. I blink my eyes, thinking of them to be closed. To only find them open.

Where am I?

Hello?

I speak in my cracking voice. To hear nothing. A cold gust of wind hits me instead. And I shiver. Hugging myself.

Gulping,I step forward into the depths of unknown. To only hear a low growl, more of a painful whimper.

And I still. Looking around in worry.

Was any animal injured here?

Hello?

I speak again, a little more confident this time. Eager to help. To only hear the sound again.

I walk in the direction of it, not caring about anything. The way back, lost but the urge to help the animal in need ardent.

My footsteps slow down to come to a standstill as I realise from where the voice was coming.

There was a big tree in the centre. Would be a thousand years old with thick extended branches and bark. And behind it’s bark. There was something sitting.

I felt afraid.

I was alone in this unknown dark place.

But I had to help. I always do.

From the shape behind. One could tell it wasn’t a human. It was a big shape, like a wounded wolf perhaps.

“Hey? Do you need some help?”

The figure doesn’t turn , hearing the voice of an Intruder. Instead it continues to whimper. Like it was in deep pain.

I couldn’t wait.

Clenching my fists I move forward. To only find myself only a few feets distance from the tree. It was a wolf.

I extend my hand to touch it when to my surprise. I see a white light being emitted by the creature ,blinding me.

My footsteps stagger back as I shield my eyes.

What… what’s happening?

“Alexandria?”

I hear a sweet voice calling my name tenderly. And I bring down my hands. To only see the light fading, giving shape to a women.

“My daughter”

The voice says and my mouth opens. A beautiful women stood in front of me. Her eyes brown and hair dark.

She wore a white dress, giving her the form of an angel. And I just stare. Blankly.

“How have you been my child?”

She asks me. Her brown eyes soft and voice dripping with love, like the one I always dreamed my mom would call me with. But…how can I see her? Dad said she died after my birth.

Am I dreaming?

For if it is. I never want it to end.

“Mom? Is…is that you?”

She nods stepping closer. To only look into my eyes and smile.

“Yes Alexandria it’s me. Your mother.”

Tera glister in my eyes and I couldn’t control myself. Throwing my body on her frame,I hug her tightly.

“Mamma? Why did you leave us? I…love you mom …I love you soo much!”

I feel her touch on my head and I smile,with tears of happiness falling down my eyes.

“I never left you daughter. I am always with you. In your heart forever.”

“No mamma! I want you here with me! Come! Let’s go home! Dad will be so happy to see you! You Know he cries for you at nights, he doesn’t say but I know he misses you alot! “

Holding her arm, I try to pull her. To not find her budge. And I look into her serene eyes afraid.

“You won’t come momma?”

“I am sorry my daughter. I can’t leave.”

“Why momma? Why can’t you!”

She just smiles sadly at me. While I was going crazy. Convincing her.

“You don’t love me right? You never di-“

She silences me by holding my face in her palms and kissing my forehead.

“In the magic of forests I reside, when the right time comes. I promise I will rise, to come back to you my child.”

“Mamma? What do you mean?”

“It’s not the right time now. But in due time.”

“We will meet”

I wanted to trust her words. But I don’t want her to leave. Why not now?

“But-“

“You will find me Alexandria. I know you will. But for now. I have to go my daughter.”

Fear enters my heart like anything.

“No! You can’t!”

I hold onto her tightly. To only have her smile at me.

“Take care my daughter and don’t trouble your father. Okay?”

“No! Wait! Mom!”

She steps back from me and I scream.

“Stop no!”

“Stay strong”

Were here last words as that white light again blinds me and I shield my eyes. To only fall into darkness.

.

.

I wake up to find myself in an unfamiliar room. My senses still numb as I look around afraid. Where am I? Mom?

“Alex?”

I hear a familiar voice and I look beside me surprised. To see dad sitting beside.

“Dad?”

“Thank god. I was so scared! My princess! What happened?’

Dad looks at me in concern and I just realised it was a dream. She is not here, mom left us Alexandria. She is not coming back. Getting back to reality. I try to get up. Shaking my head, recollection the memories.

“N… nothing Dad. I am fine now.”

I say giving him a small smile. But it doesn’t buy him. Pushing me back, to make me lay down on the bed. He get’s up, his eyes turning into slits.

Here we go.

“Alexandria Darian Black ! Do you have any idea how afraid I was when I get a call from the school authorities. Telling me my daughter fainted under unknown conditions.”

“Chill da-“

“I can’t chill Alexandria!. If you don’t tell me what happened to you!”

” These stupid school authorities tell me it’s a damned stomach infection? When I know you don’t eat anything from outside. And here you say it’s nothing?”

“Dad! I am fine!”

“No you are not! You always lie to me! Look at your face! It looks so pale! If you don’t tell me what happened, I swear I will drag you to a hospital and make them run bloo-“

“Dad! It’s my time of the month! It’s nothing! Just stomach cramps!”

“No we still….wait a second. What?”

I chuckle. Leaning my head back on the pillow and repeating my words.

“Period pains dad”

“Oh”

He says, sitting down. Rubbing his neck awkwardly and I can’t help smile. Awww he is so cute! I wish I could squeeze his cheeks that look red in embarrassment.

“Just that?”

“Ah hun”

I say nodding. And he barely nods.

There is few minutes of silence. Till I decide to break it. Getting up from the bed , offering him my arm.

“You can’t get up Alexandria. The doctor said -“

“Go hell with what he said. Come hold my arm. Let’s go home”

He sighs. Interlocking my arm with his. And we walk out of the school.

“Careful”

He says making me sit inside the car as he get’s on the driver seat. He drives as I stare outside at the chilly weather.

My thoughts going to the scene that happened earlier.

That boy ,Zen.

My body shivered, imagining what would have happened if Silas didn’t come on time to save me.

And I clench my fists.

Those eyes…that boy…he looked like a beast.

Why did he said it was my fault?

He must be crazy.

Getting out of my thoughts, I look at Dad. To see him driving. His eyes meeting mine as he raises his brow.

“What’s in your mind?”

I just shake my head. Giving him a smile. I shouldn’t tell him or he will be hell worried if he comes to know. He will even ban me from going to school.

“Nothing. Can I ask you something random?”

He narrows his brows to nod. And I ask the question I always ask him. The dream giving me the needed determination to try again atleast.

He gets hurt hearing it. I see the pain in his eyes. But I need to know.

Especially after that dream.

“How was mom like?”

There is silent. Pin drop silence. And I see his grip on the steering wheel to tighten, till his knuckles turn white.

His eyes fixed on the road.

And I look down at my hands. He was not going to answer yet again, why do you even try Alex.

Don’t you know , how it hurts him everytime you ask.

He has given you everything till now. The love of father, mother ,a family everything.

But still, I just wanted to know about the women who brought me into this world.

I want to know how she was.

“Did she had brown eyes?”

He looks at me. That pain in his eyes veiled by coldness as he answers for the first time. Or rather just nods.

“Hmmm”

I turn around in my seat.Looking at him with curiosity.

“Her hair? Was it dark brown like me?”

I say running my hand through my waist length hair. To have him blink in agreement.

“Yes”

“And was she like the notorious type that I am or was she like those elegant mother’s of those children in my class, who talk with an accent and class?”

He looks at me with a painful expression. And my smile drops. His answer making my heart to thud in my chest.

“Neither. She was a fighter. The strongest woman I have ever seen.”

I just blink. Strong. Stay Strong. Her last words rewind in my mind and I feel goosebumps appear on my skin.

The women in my dream?

She was mom….my momma. And I feel like I never felt before.

This was the first time in my 18 years of existence that I saw her.

Even if it was in my dream.

I can’t be more happy than this. I talked to mom! She kissed me!

But she needs me.

She was there somewhere. She is alive. And I need to save her. The forest. She said she resides there.

I have to search for her there. Maybe she was living there her who life. Maybe she never died.

But Dad wouldn’t lie to me. He said she died.

Looking at him ,I ask him. Or rather try to explain him.

“Dad? Are you sure mom is dead? Did you see her die in front of you. Maybe she is alive somewhere and we need to find h-“

“Alexandria!!”

He literally shouts at me. Pressing on the breaks. And I hear my heart thudding in my chest. Fear entering me.

“Dad bu-“

“Shut up Alexandria! You don’t know anything about her and neither will you try to know anything. You get me?”

“The only thing you should know is that your mom is dead and she will not be coming back! Do you hear me?”

I feel tears sting my eyes. Why…why is he so angry? I just wanted to know about my mom. Everyone has a mom…who lives with them, loves them.

Then why not me? I don’t even have the right to know about her?

I look outside the window. Trying to hide my tears. To only hear him sigh.

His anger coming down ,as he tries to look at me.

“Alexandria?”

He says softly. While I continue to look outside the window. Turning my back on him.

“My princess. I am sorry. But you need to understand. I am doing this for your own good Alexandria.”

“Don’t… don’t talk to me”

I say , with my vision blurry. To only have him ,kill the engine. And make me look at him.

“I am sorry. I .. princess. I don’t know what happens to me.”

“I just don’t want to loose you like I lost her Alex. Please. Forgive me”

He was hurt. In more ways one could imagine. For him I was his everything. And I couldn’t stop myself.

Hugging him ,I let go of the dam of tears waiting at it’s brim.

As he k****s my head. Hugging me back.

“I miss her dad. I miss her so much!”

And he replies or rather whispers in my ear. Breathing heavily. His eyes teary as well.

“I miss her too my daughter.”

We both find solace in each other’s embrace. As he pulls back. Cleaning my tears.

“Promise me my daughter. Promise me to not find more about your mother.”

“The only thing you need to know is that she loved you more than anything in this world. And she is in your heart, forever.”

“But Dad-“

“Please daughter. It will only hurt you. Just trust me.’

I bite my l*p. Not knowing what to say. But those concerned eyes, they were forcing me to give in.

To believe him. To trust him with this.

“Okay dad. I promise.”

Relief floods in his eyes. As he pulls me for a hug.

And I hug him back.

“Thank you my daughter.”

I am sorry dad. Please forgive me. But no matter what, I have to save mom. She is there, somewhere. And I need to find more about her.

“I love you Dad”

“Love you more my princess.”

With determination in my eyes. I clench my fists. I know I will hurt you by doing this Dad. But trust me , in the end it will be worth it.

I will do everything I can to find mom.

And I will get her back to us.

I promise.
