Enigma novel Chapter 13

“Demons? But why did they attack you?” Leo asked voicing my thoughts.

“Demons have always been trying to kill us. Well not exactly us but the spirit walker and the road to a spirit walker is through the wolf spirits.” The Alpha explained plopping on the ground.

His companions also sat down. They looked exhausted.

“But why? There has to be some sort of reason.” Stanley said.

“Did you forgot what my mother said? The first spirit walker’s mate was a demon. He has been after her since then but she is already dead so why now after so many years and your pack? There wasn’t even anyone that was shifted.” I explained.

This is really concerning. What are these demons after?

“We were the pack that she first helped. Our ancestors were the first shifters.” The Alpha said looking me straight the eyes. My mouth popped open. How can I forget such an important detail? “After we defeated the Demons for the first time, there haven’t been any threats to us so none of the generation since then had shifted yet. I snooped around a little and found out that other packs were destroyed too. The other spirit wolves had vanished as their pack was gone. We were fortunate enough to have some of the members alive but we lost our Alpha in the attack. This pack is the only one that hadn’t been attacked yet and I am having a feeling that the attack here is going to be massive, now that they know where the spirit walker is.”

Steven growled lowly in his throat and pulled me closer. Steven and his possessive ass. The spirit wolves and the shifters growled aggressively. They don’t seem to like the idea of anyone laying their hands on me as well. Well I don’t like that either. Those demons can keep their filthy claws to themselves or their will be consequences.

“We want to help you with the attack too.” One of the boys said in a firm voice.

“How about we address this situation tomorrow when everyone is well rested?” I advised. Steven looked at me in disbelief. He looked at me like I told everyone to dance naked around the fire. “Don’t look at me like that Steven. Look around yourself. Those boys look like they haven’t eaten or rested properly in a long time which is quite true, those spirit wolves have been traveling since forever and our daughter looks to be on the verge of passing out. We will meet here tomorrow at midafternoon. We will decide what actions to take from there.”

A switch of sorts must have clicked in Steven’s head as he looked towards Aria. She looked like she straining to keep her eyes open but was failing at it miserably.

“She healed me Aunty Amy.” Xander said excitedly.

“No wonder she looks like that.” Steven grumbled.

“Are you okay now Xan?” I asked him.

“Yup.”

Aria had put almost all of her weight on Xander by now. She was practically splayed on him. My poor baby. She must be feeling exhausted. Using spirit powers for the first time feels like shit.

“You three, pack your things. You are staying at our place.” I told the boys and turned towards the Alpha. “Alpha, you and the rest of the pack can rest here. We will see you tomorrow and then we will lay our plan out. Those filthy demons won’t be killing anyone else among us.”
