Abby entered the room alone, while her five knights waited outside with the other warriors of the luna. There was a brief introduction between them, but it was short and tensed.
Meanwhile, inside the bedroom were the Serafim, Aliana, the healer and laying unconsciously on the bed was the luna of the Howling Wolf pack, the woman, who rumored as a runt, but as it turned out, she had a great healing power, where she could heal one of the warriors from being a cripple.
"Her vitals are fine, Serafim." Penny gave the Serafim a rundown, she was a little bit stammering here and there, because she had never met someone as powerful as Serafim before.
For small and insignificant people like her, the Serafim was akin to a Goddess. Someone that you could only hear from a tale. Their power was unmatched and unlimited. They could use their power as they like and was not bounded to the magic stone, unlike those magic users.
Penny had her head hung very low, she couldn’t afford to offend the Serafim.
On the other hand, Aliana kept her composure quite well, she gave the Serafim the same amount of respect that she showed to the alpha, nothing more, nothing less.
"Thank you for your information, Penny, I am really appreciated it." Serafim stood next to Iris’s bed and a heavy curtain was drawn, which concealed her.
"I only did what I have to do, Serafim." Penny beamed because someone like Serafim remembered her name and was appreciated with her effort.
"Can you leave us for a moment?" Abby spoke gently and Penny resigned herself. She went out of the bedroom and closed the door. "Can I see her?" Abby directed her attention toward Aliana, once the healer was no longer there.
"Yes, Serafim." Aliana then withdrew the curtain and revealed the luna.
Iris was still unconscious, her face was still pale, but she looked like she was just sleeping.
However, the moment Abby fixed her eyes on Iris, her heart skipped a beat. She widened her eyes in surprised and it was very clear to see that she was not prepared for what she was seeing.
A woman, who seemed around her age, or a little bit younger than her, with the shade of red hair. They could be passed as sister.
Abby had heard it from Koda that the luna of the Howling Wolf pack had auburn hair and both of them almost looked similar, but she didn’t think much of it. The similarity must be the color of their hair or the blue eyes that they had, though it was uncommon for shifter to have such eyes color, unless they were the color of gold, but that color only reserved for the royal bloodline.
However, Abby could see the similarity between the two of them was beyond the mere color of their hair and probably their eyes.
"You must be shocked because the two of you look so much alike, Serafim," Aliana said, she broke this awkward silence that hang in the air. "Me too. I was shocked when I saw you earlier." She then added. "I don’t mean any disrespect, Serafim, but you look very similar with our luna."
Abby shook her head, as if she was trying to get her mind straight and regain her composure. "Not at all. You are right. Outsider might mistake us as a sister." Abby had to admit it. "Is she... really from this continent?"
"She was born in this continent. Her father was the alpha of the Blue Moon pack and her mother was the luna."
Abby nodded. "So I heard." That was a common information and she already knew about it. "The color of her hair is not common in this continent."
"Yes," Aliana agreed, but gently she corrected her. "Even though, it’s not common, but there are a few shifters or magic users with this color that I knew of. One of our warriors is a red hair."
"Oh... it seems, I need to learn more about this continent." Abby smiled at Aliana.
"That will be a blessing for our people for you wanting to know more about us," Aliana replied, she didn’t mean it in sarcastic way, knowing how people in the Andelus continent saw them, shifter. "I am sorry for the trouble, Serafim, but if you don’t mind, just like you can see, our luna is in strange condition. The healer said her vitals are fine, but she has not yet woken up for days and we are worried about it."
Aliana changed the topic very smoothly, as she directed their focus to the main problem in this room. She could be very silly and reckless when she was in cahoots with Ethan, but then she could be very dependable like her beta brother.
Ever since, Cane had been often absent from the pack, it was Jace, who had to maintain the Howling Wolf pack and the Blue Moon pack, kept them in check. That was not an easy task to do and could only be done by someone that the alpha completely trusted.
"If you this information can help... our luna is currently pregnant, she is almost three months by now." Aliana had discussed this with the alpha and they agreed to let the Serafim knew about Iris’s pregnancy beforehand, to avoid any mishap, no matter how small it was.
"Pregnant." Abby repeated the word and then sat down on the edge of the bed and stared at Iris’s face. She tried to focus on the matter at hand and shook off this strange feeling she had upon seeing the luna.
"Yes, Serafim." Aliana nodded.
Abby was silence for a while, before she stretched out her hand to hold Iris’s. "Let’s see what I can do..."
However, Abby let out a scream the moment her hand touched Iris’s, which made Aliana shocked and panic when the Serafim fell to the floor, as if someone just pushed her harshly.
"Serafim! What happened?!" Aliana immediately rushed to her side.
And at the same time, the door was slammed opened and the five knights immediately rushed toward the Serafim with their drawn swords. Behind them were the warriors.
One of them kicked Aliana away from Abby, which made her head bumped against the table and the sight of it made the seven warriors growled at them. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"What the hell do you think you are doing?!" Reed growled at the knight, who had kicked Aliana away and Eron rushed to her side, while the other were seething at the knights.
"Aliana, are you, okay?!" Dyne came to her side too.
