Chapter 104
In the room, Eos tenderly stroked his mother’s hair, who seemed to be in a peaceful sleep. Galilee, attentive, handed him a needle, which she used to prick her finger. With the crimson drop on his fingertip, he carefully brought his hand to Danna’s lips, while with the other he gently opened her mouth and let the drop fall to take effect.
Danna, opening her eyes slowly, met her daughter’s serene gaze. Despite the confusion that enveloped his memories, the metallic taste in his mouth told him that something had happened. He remembered the dizziness and how he felt it fade away. He bowed cautiously as he whispered.
“Daughter, what are you doing here?” What happened? “I’ve felt strangeness in my body since yesterday,” she asked worriedly as she looked at her daughter with restless eyes.
Eos, noticing his mother’s restlessness, wrapped her in a warm embrace. As they parted, he indicated calmly.
“Mommy, I’m glad to see you’re well. You fainted. Have you ingested anything strange?
“It’s business as usual, part of my daily routine. Normal, why do you ask? I snoop confused.
Eos frowned and, annoyed, expressed.
“Someone tried to poison you, to weaken your gift with wild wolves. I’m sure Sofia is behind this, looking to stop the beasts from following you.
Danna was stunned by her daughter’s revelation, processing the information as the gravity of the situation settled in her mind. The room was filled with a tense silence, until Danna spoke, taking her daughter’s hands and looking at her tenderly.
Danna took in the information with a mixture of gratitude and concern. She thanked her eldest daughter for protecting her and felt a warm pride in their strength.
“Thanks to my older puppy, he didn’t achieve his goal. I’m happy to have a wonderful daughter,” she said tenderly, caressing Eos’s face. What Sofia doesn’t know is that my youngest puppy also possesses this gift. Eda is stubborn and carefree; she hasn’t even noticed. As a mother, I have observed how my puppies behave with her.
“Mommy, take a rest. Eda and I will take care of this battle. Leave this to us.
Danna noticed the uneasiness in her daughter’s gaze and expressed in a tender voice.
“My puppy, I see sadness on your face. Tell me what happened? Your dad was going to support you, and now I see you here.
“Okay, Mommy. It’s just that last night Perseus appeared in the pack with Sophia. We find out she’s a black witch. His family was executed for practicing dark magic. Sophia absorbed the power of her family, and her thirst for vengeance towards us made the evil she executes powerful. Perseus was bewitched by her and yesterday he tried to kill me. Thanks to the goddess Selene, we were able to escape, but I fear for the people in the pack.
Danna put her hand to her mouth in disbelief at what she was hearing, realizing that another battle was coming in the form of a woman.
“We must prepare to fight her, before innocents are hurt,” he looked at his daughter regretfully. I’m sorry Perseus came back as someone else, but you’ll see that we’ll get him back.
“Mommy, he hates me because that witch made him believe that we killed his father, Frederick. They come against kings,” he sighed. Now, rest. Like I said, leave this battle in the hands of your daughters. My aunt and uncle are on their way along with Eda. You should be ready for when they arrive.
Meanwhile, in the office, Eros sat in his chair, erect like a hungry wolf. At that very moment, the door opened and Uriel entered, dragging with him one of the kitchen assistants, whose pallor betrayed the fear that consumed her. The certainty that his life hung in the balance was etched in his eyes. Seeing her, Eros stood up and surrounded his desk with determined steps, standing in front of the trembling she-wolf. He let out a roar of questioning.
“Why did you do it?” Who sent you?
The she-wolf began to tremble even more, her tears welling up like an uncontrolled torrent, and she felt that her heart threatened to escape from her mouth and would not allow her to utter a word.
“Speak,” Eros growled angrily.
“Alpha, I’m not here to beg for my life. If you wish, you can snatch it from me right now. I only beg you to save the lives of my two daughters. Two nights ago, a woman burst into my cabin and, in defending me and my husband, he lost his life in front of me and our children-his tears were heartbreaking, driven by fear, he knelt in front of Eros. He took my Lucrezia and Lucia, my two puppies. He promised to bring them back to me alive if I would provide the lady with a concoction. I… I only did it for my puppies. Lord, save them.
Eros clenched his fists, his eyes dripping with rage. The thought that his queen was on the verge of losing her life filled him with suppressed fury. I didn’t know how to act; His mind was spinning in search of a solution to rescue the puppies from that she-wolf.
“Why didn’t you come to me?” Eros thundered, his voice echoing through the room. I would have found a way to save them.
The she-wolf, still kneeling, looked into the alpha’s eyes with a mixture of despair and fear.
“That woman told me that if I didn’t comply, she would have no mercy to take my daughters’ lives. I saw how he killed Juancho. I didn’t want the same thing to happen to my girls. I’m here, giving you my life, but save my daughters.
“Dad, don’t hurt him. This woman is a victim of Sophie’s wickedness. You would have done the same for us,” said Eros, who had been listening in silence. He gave Uriel a hard look. Take her, Uriel, and don’t hurt her.
The she-wolf turned to look at her and began to crawl towards Eos’s feet, her voice breaking, she implored.
“My life doesn’t matter, princess, please save my daughters, just save them.” They must be suffering.
Eos bent down and took the woman by the shoulders. With a compassionate gaze, he said.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Laurel, don’t worry. We will rescue your daughters. Go to Uriel.
Laurel turned to look at the alpha.
“Alpha, I don’t deserve your forgiveness or that of the Moon Danna. I will be at your disposal whatever you decide to do. I just wish my puppies were okay.
“My daughter heard. Get out of here, we’ll take care of rescuing your daughters.
The woman left the room next to Uriel with a blank stare. His heart cherished the hope of seeing his daughters alive.
Eos approached his father and tenderly grabbed his hands.
“My mommy is a strong woman. That’s enough.
Drawn to his daughter’s comforting voice, Eros drew her to him and embraced her
“Thank you, my puppy, for saving your mother,” her voice cracking and tears rolling down her face, she continued. I don’t know what my life would be without my Danna. If she is missing me and she is gone from this life, I would go after her.
“Now, Daddy, don’t say that” he pulled away from his father, trying to provide comfort. Let’s get ready for the arrival of the family. We must hunt down that witch and save innocent people.
