Chapter 55
Eos, seeing his mother, burst into tears. He didn’t want that bad man to hurt them. He took a few steps toward his mommy and held on to her legs. Danna automatically placed the girl behind her. It broke his heart to see her like that. He wanted to carry her to comfort her, but it was dangerous with that madman aiming.
“This is going to be better than I expected. I’m going to kill two wolves at the same time. This time I’m going to make a claim that you ruined my life, killed my granddaughter, and left me homeless,” he shouted with anger at every word.
Danna, with a murderous look, replied.
“You’d better drop that weapon, and I’ll be merciful to you for being an old wolf.” Otherwise, I’ll rip your head off.
“When you’re dead, you won’t be able to do anything.” It’s a pity your daughter is going to live without a mother, but I promise I’ll take good care of her.” He smiled contemptuously as he pulled the trigger, shamelessly firing.
In that moment of anguish, Eurides responded to her deepest instincts as she saw how the man pulled the trigger, she without a second thought crossed his path.
Danna, seeing Eurides fall to the ground, furious, relinquished control to Hede, who immediately emerged. At that moment, the she-wolf lunged at the aggressor, preventing him from firing again. The air was filled with the man’s heart-rending scream as he felt the animal’s claws on his body, like sharp blades tearing at his soul.
Hede began to mercilessly tear apart every corner of Fabricio’s body, his eyes burning with anger. Then, he let out a deep, sinister growl. Fabricio’s inner wolf, in desperation, howled and left his body, turning into a white energy that was absorbed by the she-wolf.
Hede, however, did not stop. With unrelenting cruelty, he delivered a lethal bite to Fabrizio’s neck and quickly turned away from the man. Fabricius, unable to utter a word or utter a cry from the blood gushing from his mouth, realized that his fate was sealed. Without his wolfish side, he couldn’t even find a respite in his excruciating agony.
Danna returned to her human form and ran off to Eurides. She crouched down next to her daughter, who was crying inconsolably as she passed her grandmother’s wound over her grandmother.From NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hold on, Eurides. I’m going to get help.” Danna felt her heart break into a thousand pieces, she tries to get up when she feels how Eurides grabbed her hand.
“My time has come,” he whispered very softly. The silver bullet was raging, he swallowed hard to soothe the pain that raced through his body. No… leave Eos alone… Go to the hideout, the girls must be safe.
Danna nodded sadly, understanding the gravity of the situation. She felt that she could not abandon Eurides in that state, but she also understood the importance of protecting Eos and the little girl in her belly who depended on her.
“Mommy! It’s going to hurt! She cried and cried and cried. The woman in white told me that I could heal the wolves that were going to be attacked by humans, but it’s going to hurt.
“Puppy, what do you say?” Don’t torment yourself, you’re small and you can’t heal these types of wounds. Granny has to go.” Danna was confused by what she heard from her daughter.
“No, Mommy,” she groaned. My blood can heal them, but it’s going to hurt.” Eos is a coward. He stretched out his hand to his mother. You better do it, prick my finger.
“Puppy, what nonsense are you talking about?” I don t understand you.
“Mommy, last night, the lady in white told me that ugly things were going to happen. He also said to me: “Eos, you have to be brave. You are the source of life, you have the cure of wolves in your blood, just a drop and they will be healed.” She cried and cried and cried. But mommy, Eros is a coward, you better do it.
Danna was scared. Now, more than ever, they had to protect their daughter and make sure that no one discovered the gift she possessed, as she was vulnerable to greed and power. He sighed several times. She didn’t like to see her puppy like that, but she had no choice but to check if what the girl said was true. Eurides’ life was also at stake, and Danna didn’t know if she could forgive herself if a simple prick on her daughter’s finger could save her life. He searched desperately for something that could help but found nothing within his reach. Eurides’ life span was running out. He looked at Fabricio’s dying body, got up and began to search through his clothes until he found a knife with several tools in one of his trouser pockets. She saw a tool with a sharp point and breathed a sigh of relief, then walked over to her daughter.
“Puppy, move your little face to the side and take a deep breath, this…” This is going to be a puncture and it’s not going to hurt at all, I promise you.
“It’s okay, Mommy,” she replied sobbing from the possible pain of the bite, Eos turned his face and wrinkled his forehead.
Danna looked at her daughter’s face and made her laugh. He carefully brought the tip close to the finger of his Eos and pricked it. Seeing the blood beginning to gush out, he said.
“Ready, now, where do I put this drop?” He pondered, not knowing whether to place it in the wound or in Eurides’ mouth.
The little girl turned around and saw her mommy with a smile.
“It didn’t hurt, it didn’t hurt. Yay! Did you see, Mommy? I’m brave, too,” the girl jumped for joy. The lady told me that a gothic of my blood in the mouth of a wounded person will suffice.
Danna rolled her eyes. Definitely, her daughter was dramatic. She brought Eos’ finger to Eurides’ mouth and let the drop fall. Mother and daughter stared at Eurides’ reaction for a few seconds.
Eurides, feeling the taste of blood, swallowed with difficulty. Then he closed his eyes, feeling his breathing, which was slow, return to normal. The pain was slowly fading.
Meanwhile, at the Vilkas mansion, Galilee entered Perseus’ room holding a potion in her hand, found him in the fetal position, she approached the bed and sat down next to him.
“Young Perseus, I bring a potion to calm your wolf. You must take it or let it out.
“But what do you say?” How am I going to let him out if I don’t know what’s wrong with him?
“I told the witch of the forest what you were experiencing, and she made one of her concoctions and handed me this. He told me that your wolf was experiencing the call of his mate in danger, that he is feeling her suffering.
Perseus’ eyes widened; he stammered in surprise.
“What?” How? I’m not supposed to find my mate yet. I’m only 14 years old. Besides, if we don’t know her and haven’t bonded, how does he perceive her pain? Its scent is supposed to captivate me or something,” Perseus said, confused and annoyed by what he was experiencing. Without thinking, he snatched the container from Galilee and drank it in one gulp. He felt his body relax instantly.
“This works,” he settled into bed with a half-smile.
Galilee was paralyzed by what he had done. He wouldn’t let her finish speaking.
“Perseus, what did you do?” Your mate is in danger and your wolf wanted to help her.” Galilee grumbled at the boy’s lack of empathy. Now, with that potion, you won’t know who she is by her smell even at first glance. Only the human side of you will recognize it.
Perseus frowned, in an icy voice he expressed.
“I’m not interested in knowing who my mate is. I’m not going to create bonds with anyone. Look at my father, his own mate tricked him and banished him from his pack. A she-wolf turned him into a weak man, and that’s not going to happen to me. There are a lot of little wolves out there waiting for my love.
Galilee rolled her eyes at the boy’s immaturity and got out of bed to leave.
“What are you going to do when he appears?”
“You didn’t just tell me that I’m not going to recognize her at first sight, and if that happens, I’ll reject her right then and there so that the link can be broken.”
“Perseus, you are a fool. You say it now because you need to mature, but I will help you to recognize it. Now I’m leaving you alone to reflect on that madness you said.
Perseus felt calm. He could see that his wolf was lying placidly. He whispered as he hugged a pillow.
“Without knowing you, you’re already wreaking havoc on my life,” he breathed a sigh of relief. Goddess Selene, as far as I can see, you sent me a complicated mate. I don’t want to meet her, and if she crosses my path, don’t let us recognize each other. I like my freedom.
