Warrior (Shewolf)
Chapter 46: Having to return it

"How's Allana?" arthur asked as he entered Allana's room. He saw Allana lying on the bed and still unconscious.

"It's definitely magic, alpha" Jim said.

"Then? Justjust like? Is it gone? Where'd it come from?"

"I don't know, but yeah, it's gone."

Arthur fell silent. He just stood at the end of the bed and looked at Allana meaningfully.

"Have you finished Alpha? They're gone?" jim asked Arthur.

"It has. They're cleaning up the wolf's body" Arthur said. He was still staring at Allana. Jim realized that.

"Just calm down alpha, he's fine" Jim said.

"Hm.. I know."

"It's really fucked up. They might attack us. It's a good thing they're not going to the settlement." Mr. Abe walked into the room.

"Dad, I want to talk to dad" said Arthur and immediately exited the room.

"What do you want to say? Oi! Can't you just talk here? Oh, my God, that kid. Excuse me, young man."

"Please sir. I'll take care of Allana, make sure there's no more magic" Jim said.

"All right."

Mr. Abe exited the room. He's headed to Arthur's study. He's sure Arthur's going to be there. Abe opens the door and finds Arthur and Rome there. Arthur stood by the window and observed the situation outside.

"Can't you just talk in the room? Be polite to the witch. He's been helping us." advice Mr. Abe. Arthur turned and looked at his father.

"This is my pack, father."

"I know, Rome knows, everyone knows. But that doesn't mean you can't be polite."

"Dad will teach me manners now? Or are we gonna talk about something important?" Arthur walked to his desk. He really didn't want to hear his father's lecture on manners.

Mr. Abe sighed. "Alright, alright. What's that important?"

"Allana. It looks like the problem he is facing is more serious than I thought. Not just Crysort, but witches and Rogue" Arthur said. He thinks it's all about Crysort.

"If it's about the witch, I'll take her. Crysort has witches since time immemorial. Even her first luna was a witch. Therefore he accepted a werewolf that had magic abilities. But for Rogue? I'm not sure."

"Then... What next? What do we have to do with alpha?" this time Rome spoke.

"It looks like hiding in Zykolt's pack is indeed the solution if it's about witches. I was right Arthur. Renald doesn't want to take your mate. Hiding in a Zykolt pack is indeed one solution. No witch can get in there. So they're just going to fight the werewolves and it's easier to deal with."

"So you're supporting that son of a bitch?!" Arthur was surly when his father brought up Renald.

"I don't support him. I just said he wasn't lying! Then how do you want? We'll be overwhelmed with witches too!"

"Then tell the witches to stay here longer" Arthur proposes.

"Are you crazy?! They're elders, white people! They have their own system of government, their own leaders! You think it's easy?"

Athur rubbed his face rough. "alright, fine. Then what's dad's solution?"

"Get him back to Zykolt."

Arthur's eyes widened. "Is dad crazy?!"

"Dad's not crazy, my son. I just thought it was a wise thing."

Arthur hit the table. He had painstakingly brought it from Zykolt's pack but what?! Restore her?

"Son, you know that's the best way."

"Sorry alpha, but I agree with Mr. Abe. If you really want luna to survive, you better do that."

"You too?!" Arthur stared dislikefully.

"I'm sorry alpha." Rome.

"Don't blame Rome. Rome's right. Now the priority is Allana's safety."

Arthur fell silent. He knew and was very sure what father and beta said was true. But his heart could not let Allana back into Renald's pack. What's more is the Renald pack. He should have protected her. Not that kid!

"Thank you for accepting us" said Lucia. They sat at the dinner table with warm tea to warm their bodies.

"Always, Lucia. This house is always open for you and your son." a woman of Lucia's age holds Lucia's hand gently. "Allowed Chris?"

"Of course, baby."Chris, the woman's husband is there too.

"So... What do you have to do?" ask the woman named Diana.

"I don't know. Renald is alpha. But he can't get into his own pack. The only way is to unlock that protection."

"But... Isn't that dangerous?"

"really. That's hazardous. Especially Grigory. He alone was already strong and now he had the rogues by his side. It's gonna be hard."

"But if it stays that way, your son won't come in. He won't be able to lead the pack" Diana said.

"What if, before opening protection, you practice, prepare yourself and ask for another pack to help? And witches, too."

"I doubt the witch will help, Chris. You know the whites have their own system. The elected also said clearly. It is not permissible to help others if there are no witches involved" Diana warned.

"Yes, you're right, baby. Too complicated. Then, just another pack."

There was a sound of steps approaching them.

"Ryan's? Ted? Come here." bring Lucia. Ryan and Ted sat down. "What about Renald?"

"Much better, luna. Luna's right. It seems all because of that protection.

"So.... How now?" ask Ted.

"Request help. Chris's right. We should ask for help. It'll be hard if we don't ask for help, because I'm gonna be opening up that protection. Sooner or later we have to do that. Do you know about which pack can help us?"

"Lykort." answered Ted briefly.

"Lycort? Are you sure? Isn't that your king's pack?" Lucia was quite surprised.

"At least I can try luna. Pack we helped him first. Maybe, at least, they'll send their troops."

"Ted was right luna. I also jumped in directly." added Ryan.

"alright. About the allied pack, I'll leave it to you. Is there anyone in the pack who can train the pack members?"

"Many trained, luna. Don't worry" said Ted.

"Send them to keep training hard. While I'm going to my family's house."

" What?" Chris and Diana were both shocked. "Are you sure Lucia?"

"I have no other way. The only one who can unlock protection is my family."

"alright. We'll take care of Renald" Diana said.

"No, there's no need. I'll send her to one of the magic cities" Lucia said making everyone shocked. "Renald is now a witch. He must control his magic and master it. He would need it later when fighting his own uncle. After all the magic city was a safe place for him. We'll pick him up when the cover's open."

Everyone is silent. It seems like it is the best way.

"Lily, let's get up." Gyria stroked her sister's hair gently. Lily just groaned slowly. "Lily, come.. It's noon. You have to go to school, remember?"

"Five more minutes, sister, five more minutes." Lily asked.

"There's not five minutes, Lily. If you don't wake up you'll be late for your first day of school."

"Ughhhh!! I hate school!" Lily sat on her bed. He opened his eyes, trying to wake himself up.

"Ugghh my sweet little sister. Quickly prepare. We'll have breakfast and then we'll go."

Gyria went out of the room and helped her mother prepare breakfast.

"How's your sister?" ask mother.

"He'll be here soon." Gyria flips pancakes. His mother sipped on the coffee he had just made.

"You gonna be okay at school?" ask mother.

"Mother double? I'm a big mom, don't worry."

His mother breathed. "Yes, that's right. But I'm still worried."

"Mom's going to work today, right?"

"Hmmm mom started working today and if mom doesn't leave now, mom's gonna be late." her mom finished her coffee. "Ah yes. Are you looking for a job today?"

"I've got it" Gyria said.

"really? Why not tell mom? Are you playing a secret to me now, miss?"

Gyria laughing. "No ma'am. I just found out last night, too. One of the restaurants where I volunteered called me said one of the employees resigned. So I accepted and mom was asleep. So I can't tell mom."

His mother slit her eyes. "You sure?"

Gyria laughed again. "Yakin mom. There go. Didn't say she'd be late."

"Ahh right."

"Where are you going?" ask Lily who just came to the kitchen.

"Loves. Have fun at school." her mom kissed Lily's head and left.

"Let's have breakfast. Then we go to school."

"Wahh.. Pancakes!" sahut Lily is excited. He sat down and took the pancakes.

Gyria looked at her sister. They managed to get away from Derek. She misses him? Sure oes. Derek is the mate. Even though he was injured, he would still try to forget about it.
