Corrupted Redemption

ANA POV:

We have been in the neighboring woods for hours. Our best trackers head by Ilad. Lead a group of warriors, myself and the boys through the thick area. Looking around there is literally nothing but trees and massive land.

It took us two days to form a sad semblance of a plan and attmept to contact Aunt Laila... who is once again M.I.A. Shes been training young witches within her coven for some time now. So we're not surprised she didn't answer.

As tiring as this is, our wolves are driving us with urgency. We are here going in blind. We come to a clearing and one of the trackers stops before linking the group. "Over here Alpha." I follow Sinead, with Jara and Ilad close behind me. As we shift the warrior hands Sinead a doll.

Lexi's scent pouring from it. "The scent is fresh, she has to be around here somewhere." Sinead says while looking around the vast area. I nod as he gives orders to keep moving. A renewed pep in our step. Our wolves take off.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Almost 20 minutes later we stumble across a barn. I can smell Lexi. Sinead tells the warriors to surround the building. "Nobody move until I give the order. Attack to detain unless you must kill." He links the group. Just as we are about to check out the perimeter. The door burst open.

LEXI POV:

"Good night little moon." I kiss my daughter's head. "Good night momma." She yawns and rolls over. I smile and reach my body over her. "Good night little star." I kiss my son. "Good night mommy." He sighs and snuggles into his blanket.

The cots I bought at the store with the blankets are a perfect upgrade from the hay. I can't wait to get them real beds, toys...a home. I head down from the loft and to the kitchen area to make myself tea. When Lilly perks up.

"What is it Lil?" I start to sniff and look around. Lilly's hunches go up. "Our pack." She whines. "What! Lil they can't get the pups! " At that Lilly sobers and growls. I nod and strip my clothes before shifting. It was now them or us!

ANA POV:

A very large black she wolf. One of the largest I've ever seen, with golden eyes like Sinead's. Steps out of the barn and bares her teeth. Our warriors begin to growl, some bow at her power. I look into the wolf's eyes and tears spring to my own. "STOP! Everyone back off! You're scaring her!" I scream at the warriors and Ilad who was slowly walking towards the wolf.

They all bare their necks and Ilad whines causing the wolf to cock her head curiously. I slowly turn back to the wolf with my hands raised. "We're not going to hurt her Lilly." I say softly bringing her attention back to me.

The wolf again cocks her head before looking at Sinead, then to Jara. She begins to whine in Jara's direction. He cautiously comes to stand beside me. Smiling like an idiot as tears run down his face. "Hey big sis." He sobs out.

At that Lilly lays down on her belly and starts to crawl towards Jara's feet. Before Jara can crouch down and touch her. She turns and gives a warnig growl towards the barn behind her. Two little black puffs peak out from behind the door.

She turns to me with fear in her eyes. I gasp. They are hers. I look from her to the pups and back to her. Smiling I squat down and slowly run my hand down her back. "I'm an aunt.... twice." I laugh with tears in my eyes. Lexi yips and licks my face. "Gross dude!" She gives me a lopsided wolfy grin. I hear a gasp behind me and turn to see Ilad, eyes glowing staring at the pups.

She whines and steps forward but stops. Ohhhh i get it now. Duh Ana. Lexi turns to her pups, whose eyes glaze over for a moment. They run into the barn and return shifted back. A boy and a girl each carrying an article of clothing. Lexi's bones realign and she stands up.

Her auburn locs now flow to her bottom. A grown version of my best friend, is standing in front of me and I just want to reach out and grab her. She quickly gets dressed, cheeks blazing red as she looks around before her eyes meet mine again. We both giggle before embracing each other. Sobs rack through us.

"I've missed you so much." I cry. "I've missed you more A. Sorry for running away the other day." She says looking down and finding the dirt interesting. A throat clears and she looks up at her brothers. She opens her arms and they each take a turn squeezing her. Ilad hugs her unsure before Lexi hugs her back and she spins her around. Causing Lexi to laugh.

"Momma." A tiny voice brings us out of the moment. Two small versions of Lexi stand nervously in the barn entrance. Sniffing the air curiously. The little girl fiddles with the hem of her night gown. While the boy stands tall, chest puffed out staring at the warriors. His eyes finally finding Sinead and his resolve wavers. "The warrior King." He squeals.

Sinead cocks an eyebrow and Lexi laughs. "I may have embellished on everyone just a tad. I'll tell you later." Then starts to walk towards the kids. "Im sure you all have a lot of questions."
