Chapter 33
CARLYLE'S POV
Taking a look at the sky, I realized that time was far spent already. Aridah was
calling as I thought of what could possibly be happening in my pack without my
presence. The Canthrastras weren't to be trusted or underestimated.
In a sudden shift of the conversation, she inquired with a tone that resonated with
longing.
“How are my parents?” Her voice carried a depth of emotion, revealing a heartfelt
connection to her family.
“They're fine. I made sure of that.” I reassured her as a sense of responsibility
underlined my words, and I probed further, “You miss them?”
“Of course, I do.” She affirmed genuinely. Her acknowledgment resonated with a
touch of nostalgia and a yearning for familial connection.
“You know, you can always return when you're ready. They will surely welcome
your well. The pack remains yours.” I offered her a comforting pat on her
shoulder which I supposed she very much needed.
“Thank you,” she mumbled inaudibly, but it didn’t skip my hearing.
With a smile, I announced my departure.
“So, bye. I'll be leaving too. I'll come visit you when I get the chance. By then, I
need a definite answer from you.”
However, she seemed very concerned and interjected.
“Wait, where were you headed? The road ahead is quite dangerous.”
“I know that, Donnie. But it’s a necessity for me to go. I need to gather
information about the recent happenings in the pack.” The intensity in my voice
hinted at the importance of the mission.
Concern etched on her face, she inquired anxiously, “Did something happen?” A
hint of fear colored her tone, reflecting her worry for the pack.
“Nothing to be worried about.” I reassured her. Yet, her skepticism prompted her
to press further.

“I won't take that for a response. If it's not something to be worried about, you
wouldn't be heading for the dangerous Mountain of Canth right now. So, tell me
what's going on. Her authoritative ione showed concern and determination,
revealing a strong, assertive side that resonated with familiarity. My woman, she
is!
“Okay, fine. Actually, I'm heading for the land of Aridah.” I told her, still amused by
the way she questioned me earlier.
“The forbidden land of Aridah where the Canthrastras were sealed?” She
gasped, surprised.
“Yes, I'm going to that very point.” I replied, “Some incident occurred in the pack
and suspicions are that it is related to the Canthrastras. I need to go there to
inspect the seal and see if there are planning anything.
“But why are you going alone? Shouldn't you go with your better or Gammas, or
probably the garrisons? You might get hurt if you go alone. It's been a while
anyone ventured there. No one can tell the current state of that place.”
“Is this you been worried about me” I taunted her.
“I'm only being worried as member of your pack. Nothing more. If anything
should happen to you, the pack will be in disorder and my parent's safety won't
be guaranteed.” She analysed the reason for her concern but I knew she was
feigning it. Her reasons were beyond that, the bonds were working.
“I'm an Alpha, Donnie. What harm can possibly come to me?”
“Sure, you're an alpha. But some things are possibly done better when you have
more hands to help.”
“You're right, though. Just take care of yourself on the way. It's late already.” I
bade her goodbye once again.
“No, wait! I'm coming with you.”
“Did I hear you right? No, you're not doing that.” I disagreed with her. “I want you
to Don't even think of following me at all.” The sternness in my voice reflected a
protective instinct, urging her to prioritize her safety.
return home to Athena this want, Donnie.
“No, I insist. I will follow you. You can think of it as having a pet around you to
ward off evil.” She stood her ground. Her declaration holding both determination
and a touch of humor, a surprising stance given the seriousness of the situation.

Chapter 33
“I won't agree with that, Willow. That place is very dangerous just like you know
already and I can't stand you getting hurt. I won't he able to take it if you get
hurt.”
“It's not necessary i get hurt, Alpha. I'm sure you're capable of protecting me.”
She walked up to me, holding my hand like a baby begging his parents for
something. Her words were true. I can protect her but I didn’t want to take risk.
On a second thought, I felt it won't be bad to take her with me. That way, we
would bond more along the way.
“Ok, fine. But won't Athena be worried about your late return?”
“No, she won't. She knows I'll surely return.” She smiled at me.
Together, we headed towards the land of Aridah. Silence endured between us at
first when we started the journey but she broke the silence just right when we got
to the Mountain of Canth.
“How did you kill the assassins?” Curiosity laced her question.
I have my ways. I responded cryptically with a smirk on my face.
Ever persistent, Donnie pressed on.
I know you have your ways, but I want to know. Else, I won't ask.”
“It's a secret.” I answered playfully as my tone conveyed a sense of reluctance to
reveal the details. I didn’t want to tell her about the Death force just yet for so
many reasons. The matter of the Death force has always been a secret and
telling her before we're mated would mean breaking the rules. That, I couldn’t
afford.
“Making it two secrets you failed to tell me.” She commented, making me recall
that I had told her the method I used in healing her wound was a secret.
“Since you really want to know, choose one. Would you like to know how I
heaked your wounds or how I killed them?" I played a gamble with the hope that
she chooses how I heal her wound, placing a probability of about eighty per ent
on it. That was because I noticed her skillful care when uprooting the White
Dasier. It's either she’s versed in healing, learnt it or she has a thing for it.
“I'll rather know how you treated my wound than know how you killed them since
I can’t know both and I'm not planning to kill anyone anytime soon.”
As expected, I won the gamble.
Chapter 33
“About that, it's easy. Since we have a fated connection between us and I'm an
Alpha, my blood could heal your wounds when it reacts with yours.” I explained.
“Wow! That's amazing.” She sounded surprised.
“So you can heal any sick person in the pack right?"
“No, not everyone. Only people that are directly connected to me in one way or
the other. Like I said, we have a bond between us which is why it worked.”
We continued our journey ahead and soon, we climbed the Mountain of Canth
which was the only barrier for us to reach the Land of Aridah.
“Wow, it's so high here,” Sidonnic commented as she looked around us, studying
the envoironment.
“Yes, it is.” I chipped in affirmatively.
“You know, sometime ago, I really wanted to walk up to somewhere very high
and just yell out my pains and worries into the space in the absence of everyone.
“And why didn’t you do it?”
“I didn't have the chance to due to some reasons.”
“You can come here with me anytime you want in the future.” I assured, holding
her hand but she only stared up at me, avoiding my gaze as she kept mute.

“It's not been easy,” she heaved a sigh. “But I just have to work hard. Out there,

“That's true enough. But there's difference in the way we all want to survive.

“Since childhood, I didn’t have the chance to do what I really want. It's always for
