The Fall Of Lucian
Chapter 12

Eren and Ethan embarked on a journey into the icier mountains, the north rarely visited by wolves. Despite being furry and cold hardy in appearance, this road was on another level.

No one took that route, for they knew their death would be certain.

-I hope that witch is not playing tricks on us, Ethan.

-I hope so too, since my wife’s life is at stake.

Both wolves reached the edge of the plain. They had to descend that ridge that connected with the base of the mountain. That path was the only way to climb that mountain of hell.

-We’re here, there’s no turning back,” growls the alpha king, “Let’s go!

The wolves descend at great speed; jumping, dodging logs and bushes. Their goal was to reach the mountain as soon as possible, since it would take them a long time to find Lucian.

It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. An albino wolf hidden in a pile of snow would make the search quite difficult.

[…]

While the alpha king and his best friend were heading towards a battle in which only they would participate, in the albino wolf pack an important event was taking place.

Deisy, the alpha of that pack, had found a dying wolf on the borders of their lands. The she-wolf, not knowing what to do with him, opted to take him back to her pack to heal his wounds, which the young woman found quite curious.

-Please, I need… I… I’m thirsty,” the man mumbled, still keeping his eyes closed.

She didn’t approach him, she simply stayed where she was, silent; listening to his every word.

-I know you’re there,” the man smacked his lips. Whoever you want me to be, please, water,” he pleads.

The young albino girl blinks, still in complete silence, then looks at the man’s wounds; they still haven’t healed. This man was definitely not a wolf, he was a human.

-Water, water…” She decided to approach him, he was a human after all.

-Where did you come from? -She takes a pot of water to bring it to the man, who drinks with some desperation, until he chokes a little and she takes the glass away.

-Thank you very much.

-Where did you come from? What were you doing in these mountains?

-I don’t remember,” he still kept his eyes closed.

What did that mean? Had he lost his memory, or did he not want to tell her anything?

-For your sake, you’d better tell me where you came from.

-I don’t remember, I don’t even know my name.

At that moment, the stranger opened his eyes slowly, with the little light that filtered into the cell, Deisy could see the colour of his eyes and was shocked.

His eyes were the colour of the moon, very bright and mesmerising. For a mere human, his eyes were truly special.

She was a little uneasy when he looked away to see her, the she-wolf stared at him and he stared back.

-You’re an albino! -The stranger frowned, which caused him a lot of pain.

-What of it?

-I’ve never seen a woman so white in my life; or that I can remember.

Yes, she was a strange breed. Her offspring were of the white wolves, but not because of that, in their human form they were also white. It just happened only with those who came from the lineage of the alphas. His family was always like that, they were all pale whitish in appearance.

-You should rest, the wound you have is very deep, and you’ve lost a lot of b***d.

-Am I hurt? -He pretends to sit up, but a strong pain takes hold of his body and makes him lie down again. Damn, this hurts a lot, what happened to me?

-That’s what I want to know, that’s why you should rest, maybe tomorrow you’ll be able to remember something about yourself.

-I too…” The man closes his eyes and begins to babble. I hope so.

The she-wolf stays a moment longer, and notices how he is falling asleep. His breathing had become rhythmic and the pained expression on his face was beginning to fade.

The young woman wondered how he was enduring so much pain, for a human, he was very resilient. She turns around to head for the exit, she needed to keep an eye on this human, he could be a mere mortal, but if it came down to it he was a stranger in her pack.

It had been moons since there had been rumours of humans roaming the wolf territories, not since Lucian and his son Daren disappeared completely taking their wild wolves with them. Many of the humans, seeing the number of missing victims, chose not to enter the forest anymore.

And it was the right thing to do…

However, his she-wolf was very anxious. And not so much because of the arrival of that human to her pack, but because of what was out there. Whatever attacked that human had the strength to attack one of her own, or any defenseless wolf.

Deisy walked back to the living room, thinking of a solution. And the only one she could think of was to visit her king and notify him of what was happening, but what was she going to say about the human?

If Eren found out that a human had come to his domain, he would surely have him taken to the castle. And that poor man would not endure such a long journey.

Sitting back in her chair, she thinks of another option, Ethan was a great leader. Many respected him and his pack was closer than Eren’s reign. She would have to visit him and let him know what was happening in his domain.

He would entrust the task to the blue moon alpha, that way he would pass the word to the rest of the packs, that way he would leave the task to him to get the information to the king. He preferred not to be too far from his pack and even less with this strange human.

-My lady, have you been able to talk to the human? -Ria interrupts her.

-Ria, you will accompany me to the blue moon pride. We leave in the morning. I want you to call my beta and the commander to give him some instructions.

-Of course, my lady.” He bows and leaves the room.

It was the only option he could think of. On the other hand, it was somewhat alarming that she didn’t want to get rid of this human, as he made her very nervous and uneasy. When she thought of him, she felt a strange deep shudder.

-By the goddess of the moon, what the f**k am I thinking?

[…]

In the morning, before dawn broke, Deisy and her companion departed from the herd, leaving the herd in charge of the beta and his commander.

The human was left in the hands of the matriarch, and remained in the dungeon until further notice. That morning, the old woman informed him that his wounds were still the same, but that he was still alive and had not woken up.

She left the house with trepidation, but the journey would take a day. If they both travelled in their wolf form they would return to the pack at night.

Deisy became a huge white wolf, she was bigger and more imposing than other wolves, even though her stature in human form was small. Ria became a small she-wolf of two shades, grey and white. Her parents were of different colours, yet Deisy did not hesitate to take her in when she was left without her parents.

-Let’s go, Ria. Try to keep up with me, okay?” -She commands.

• “Yes, my lord.”

He was young, but I trained him every day so that he became a strong and hardy wolf. In the event of any fall that came his way, the wolf knew how to defend himself.

The boys ran, quickly running away from the monkey. The sun was not shining, and that gave them the opportunity to stay fresh and with their energies untouched.

Bordos orgonizobo a meeting with the second group of guordio or half-torde, Adoro as son of the leader, also ocompoñobo them and JB also estobo present. When suddenly, the prince raised his face and focused on the forest.

-Someone is approaching, and coming very fast.

-Who can it be? We haven’t received notification of nodie’s visit,” asked Adoro.

-It’s Deisy, the olfo of the olbino wolves.

-Deisy? And what does she want?

-He must want to have s*x with Ethon.

-He was quick to forget, something must have happened in his monkey.

Bordor delegated the orders to JB and he went to Adoro to receive him. Who in a few minutes later was received by the prince and the son of the olfo.

Lo olbino stopped at the entrance of the monodrome, immediately he looked at Bordos and bowed his huge body a little.

-Prince Bordos.

-Deisy, what’s going on here? -I, the wolf, who was a wolf, heard the conversation in private.

-I have come to have a talk with him, I have something very important to tell him,” he replies, opening his mind to be heard by Adoro.

Bordos looked at either his moon and it or him, then observed or heard him.

-You’d better go back to your humono form, and let’s go inside,” Adoro suggests. Then they’ll find him something to cover himself.

-Rio, I want you to go around these parts and look for anything out of the ordinary, anything that looks suspicious to you. Be discreet,” he says to him alone or to his friend, “My husband will stay around here, if you don’t mind.

-You are welcome,” replies Adoro.

Once in the middle of the room, Deisy looks up and observes the schoolboys. It brought back silly memories of when she lived there and discovered that Ethon was her wolf.

Then he sensed something strange, the smell of that humour was gone. The smell of Shery I did not smell. I look or I adore seriously.

-Your father is dead? -the young man polishes.

-I am not dead, it is still alive -But your spirit I am not in that thing, it is very strange, even the smell of Ethon is not strong.

-Your power is not here?

-He is not in the monodrome, that’s why the issues I want to solve with him, he will have to solve them with us.

-What is going on?

-Mi podre ho reolizodo un vioje, no regresor en olho tempo. What is troe o monodo, olfo?

That’s very strange, Ethon never reolizobo viojes ton lorgos. Did he do anything with Lucíon’s hideout? Whatever it was, he would find out. So he took care of what was important.

-A very wounded humon has come to my domain.

-Humon?! -Bordos rises to his feet.

-Yesterday my men found him, he has a very serious wound on his body that prevents him from moving. I thought he was a wolf, that’s why I took him or my monkey, but I’m sure his wounds are not. He’s a humono!

Al olbino mirro o Bordos fijomente y ve ve olgo que yo hobío visto ontes, no sobío si estobo imoginándose cosos, pero, ese muchocho porecío tener el mismo colour de ojos de oquel humono.

-Yes, my lady.

She was young, but he trained her almost every day to become a strong and resilient wolf. In case of any attack that came her way, the she-wolf would know how to defend herself.

The girls ran, quickly away from the pack. The sun was not yet up, and that gave them a chance to stay fresh and with their energies intact.

Bardas was organising a meeting with the second guard group in mid-afternoon, Adara, as the leader’s daughter, was also accompanying them, and JB was also present. When suddenly, the prince raises his face and focuses on the forest.

-Someone is approaching, and coming very fast.

-Who can it be? We haven’t received notification of anyone’s visit,” asks Adara.

-It’s Deisy, the alpha of the albino wolves.

-Deisy? What does she want?

-Surely she wants to talk to Ethan.

-He’s approaching fast, something must have happened in his pack.

Bardar delegated the orders to JB and he went with Adara to receive the albino. A few minutes later she was met by the prince and the alpha’s daughter.

The albino stops at the entrance of the herd, immediately observes Bardas and bows her huge body a little.

-Prince Bardas.

-Deisy, what brings you here? she speaks so that her moon can hear them, as the albino she-wolf kept the conversation private.

-I have come to speak with the alpha, I have something very important to tell him,” she replies opening her mind to be heard by Adara.

Bardas looks at his moon and she at him, then they look at the albino.

-We’d better return to her human form, and go into the house,” Adara suggests. They’ll bring her something to cover herself in a moment.

-Ria, I want you to walk around the grounds and look for anything out of the ordinary, any footprints that look suspicious. Be discreet” -she says only to her friend- “My companion will be walking over there, if you don’t mind” – “You are welcome” -she replies.

-You are welcome,” Adara replies.

Once in the alpha’s house, Deisy immediately looks up and sees the stairs. It brought back so many memories of that house, when she lived there and discovered that Ethan was her wolf.

Then she noticed something strange, the scent of that human was gone. Shery’s scent was gone. He looks at Adara seriously.

-Is your mother dead? -The young woman pales.

-But her scent was no longer in that house, it was very strange, even Ethan’s scent was not strong.

-Your father is not here?

-The alpha is not in the pack, for that reason any issues you want to resolve with him, you will have to resolve with us.

-What is going on?

-My father has gone on a journey, not to return for some time. What brings you to the pack, alpha?

That was very strange, Ethan never went on such long journeys. Had he found Lucian’s hideout? Whatever it was, he would find out. For now he would deal with what was important.

-A badly wounded human has arrived in my domain.

-Human?! -Bardas rises to his feet.

-Yesterday my men found him, he has a very serious wound on his body that prevents him from moving. I thought he was a wolf, that’s why I took him to my pack, but the matriarch assured me that his wounds won’t heal. He’s a human!

The albino looks at Bardas and sees something he had seen before, he didn’t know if he was imagining things, but, that boy seemed to have the same eye colour of that human.
