Chapter 172
REED’S POV (THE FIRE ELEMENTAL)
I don’t know for how long I have been out, but I’m sure it has been for quite a while.
I’m actually in my bedroom, on my bed and sweat profusely like I just returned from a marathon race.
I place my hand on my left abdomen and I don’t feel any pain. I can’t even feel the wound anymore.
I have been healed. Luna Reign healed me.
She is indeed the Paramount Luna. Her mercy and kindness is unmatchable.
Before she healed me, we had a very intense conversation that hunted me throughout my slumber. He words kept echoing only mind and I swear I cannot ignore them.
Everything she told me about Alpha Lance is nothing but the truth. He is just using me and when all this over and he is going to get rid of me.
Alpha Lance is capable of doing that.
I have been given another chance to live and I’m not going to waste it fighting a war that I’m going to lose. If Luna Reign says Alpha Hardin is going to take me in, then he is definitely going to do so.
They never go back on their words.
Just then, my room door opens and both Lloyd and Kevin walk in with the biggest smiles plastered bon their faces. I know for sure that they are happy that I’m alive again.
“Look who is up!” Lloyd coos as he walks over to me.
“Man, the next time you pull that kind of stunt on us again, I will kill-haul you!” Kevin warns jokingly as he takes a seat by my side as well.
“You honestly think I would pull such an expensive stunt? Man, I almost died!”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“That is scary to think of”
“Indeed it is.”
“So, how are you feeling right now? Do you feel any pain anywhere?” Lloyd asks concerned.
“Nope” I deny as shake my head. “Not even am iota of pain. Luna Reign healed me completely.”
“Cool”
“I like her” I suddenly announce.
“Like who?” Kevin asks confused.
“Luna Reign, I like her”
“Of course you do. She just saved your life, even I will like someone who just saved me from dying even if she was my enemy.”
“I am serious guys. She is a nice person, she healed me despite the fact that I’m her enemy. Bruh, people like her are rare to find!” I explain.
“That doesn’t matter Reed, the most important thing is that right now you are fine. She can go to hell with her kindness for all I care”
“No you don’t get it, do you?” I retaliate, slightly raising my voice. “You guys don’t get it at all”
“Tell me Reed, what don’t we get?”
“If she was the one in this condition, I would not have healed her, I would have let her die. She knows that, yet she healed me.”
“Yes, because she has got the heart of a bird and that is exactly what will bring her downfall, especially now that she has lost her baby and this battle is back to normal”
“You guys finally gave her the silver?” I ask aghast.
“Yeah, we did. Seeing her bleed was oddly satisfying. I can’t wait for us to win this battle.” He explains carelessly and I look at him in total disbelieve.
It’s like I died and right now I have resurrected with a new life, a new mind, new sight and a new way of understanding things.
I can’t believe a few days ago I didn’t mind giving my life for this battle.
Right now I feel like I just want to dash out of that door and run away from all if them.
They are sick.
All of them are sick in the head and there is absolutely no hope for them. They still had the mind to go ahead and make Luna Reign lose her baby even after she healed me.
They have no hearts and consciences.
I can’t stay here.
“Guys, that is just sick. How could you allow that?”
“You talk like we are the decision makers here. Besides you wanted that to happen a few days ago”
“Yeah, that was when I really didn’t know the good person she is. Guys she saved my life, wasn’t that enough to at least spare the innocent baby in her womb?”
“Reed, I think you did not wake up with all your memories. You seem to be forgetting that if that baby was born, that would have been the end for us. The war stops, Alpha Hardin wins, he gets the powers and then we are doomed! We had no choice but to do it!”
He explains deeply.
“I have another question”
“Go on”
“Two people have actually asked me this question. Luna Reign and Kol. When this war is over, which one among the two Alphas is going get the powers of the staff? Which pack gets to be edified ?” I ask with raised brows and they both exchange confused glances.
That is something I have never really thought about, but it honestly calls for concern.
I know these two Alphas all too well. One will never give up that power without a fight.
After this battle, if they should win, there will be another battle for that power and that one will be even more pathetic.
“I’m still waiting for your responses”
“Reed, when we get…”
“… to that bridge , we will cross it” I cut him short as I give him a one sided look. “Really? Are you very certain we are going to cross that bridge? Or are we going to start throwing each other off it”
“Reed where is all this coming from by the way? What did Luna Kira tell you while we were away?”
“A lot of things, which happen to be nothing but the truth”
“That sneaky bitch! She has brainwashed you!”
“No she did not. All she did was peel off the scales from my eyes that made it impossible for me to see beyond. To see what is actually going on! This is going to lead to an apocalypse!” I darn.
“Reed, this is not you”
“This is me, okay! This is me, it’s just the version of me that is not blind. Do you honestly think that when you win as you hope, there will be peace between our packs? That one of our Alphas will willingly give up all that power to the other without a fight?” I ask with raised brows.
“They are going to sort it out like the king’s they are. Don’t believe all that crap she told you, she was only trying to buy you over. Don’t fall for it!”
“There is nothing for me to fall for guys. She spoke the plain truth. That is exactly what is going to happen”
“Ugh Reed! Can you please just stop already!” Kevin cries. “Just take a nap. You must still be traumatized about the fact that you almost died, get some sleep and when you wake up, you will be back to your senses”
“I have not lost my mind Kevin. I know very well what I am talking about. I believe you all know that after this war, we lose these powers, right?”
“Yes, we know that”
“What do you think our Alphas will do to us after that?”
“Thank us for making them win the battle and of course, reward us with high ranks in the packs” Lloyd explains confidently and I just chuckle as I shake my head.
His understanding of this whole issue is way limited and that’s just very pathetic.
The scales in his eyes are not going to fall off anytime soon. He is so blinded by the after glory that he can’t see what exactly is going on, he can’t see where all of this is leading to.
I feel so sorry for him.
“Guys, it’s wrong for me to condemn an Alpha so I’m not going to do that, but I just want to let you all know what I think. This isn’t going to end well. Everyone seems so peaceful and united right now, wait until all this is over and it’s time to get the powers. Everything is going down the drain”
“You think too much Reed”
“Like I said, get a nap bro. When you wake up, your senses are going to come back. For now, you are just suffering from the after effects of healing gotten from the enemy”
“Guys, I’m not suffering from any after effects, I’m damn serious.”
” You know what? I think you need some time alone”
“Guys, they are just using us. After this battle is over, if they win, they are going to kill us all. I can swear on my life that’s the plan they have for us, for all of us and our families” I try to explain but they just keep shaking their heads and sighing.
They are never going to believe me.
“Now that is just about how much crap I can take from you today. Go to bed and when you wake up, we are going to talk. By then your senses must have returned to their right positions” Lloyd instructs as he urges Kevin to follow him outside.
They are short sighted. That’s why they can’t see what’s going on.
Any way, when they die, I hope they remember my words in their graves. As for me, I won’t stay here and watch my doom befall me. I have to leave and I’m going to do that later this night when they are all asleep.
