Zachary's (POV)

Continued.....

We walked further into the cave and our awkwardness seemed to dissipate as we discovered new things around the cave.

Like moonflowers, I had seen only white ones, but here they were three more: red, lavender, and black.

Small insects, similar to fireflies but smaller, illuminating their whole bodies. Each one had a different glow.

And many more kinds of flora and fauna, which I don't recognize

On the other hand, Fiora was excited, touching, giggling, and playing with whatever she found, walking around as if she were in some sort of fantasy garden. We stopped at the most illuminated part of the cave and saw something breathtaking.

Seeing that view, we both stood there like rocks, we looked at each other our expressions mirroring each other, and the only word we could form was "marvellous"

There was this beguiling sword perfectly embedded in the pillar, small, beautiful, impressively crafted, and seemingly thousands of years old. It illuminated very blackish-blue shimmers. On the other hand, the sword was illuminating all kinds of different shimmers.

Fiora walked towards that sword as if it didn't even affect her, whereas when I took a step forward, the energy I was feeling became prominently hard to handle, It was so addicting; I wanted more and more. I didn't even realize when I turned into my wolf form.

I saw Fiora's hands extend towards the sword, but before I could stop her, a heavy wave of energy threw us out of the cave. After that, all I could see was black.

I woke up to the delicious smell of lilies and jasmine. Fluttering my eyes open, to find the source of the scent, only to find an unconscious Fiora, Shockingly, I was still in my human form, despite transforming into my wolf earlier.

Although it was still pretty dark outside the cave, the surroundings within were illuminated as if nothing had happened. As I fully regained consciousness, I extended my hands to wake Fiora.

I was shocked to find her, to be the owner of the smell, that intoxicating fascinating mixture of lilies and jasmine smell

I shook her a little, but she didn't even budge I shook her a little harder, no response I got a little scared but didn't panic, I could hear her heartbeat, I decided to take her back to the packhouse since she was not a human, doctors there could examine her better

I mind-linked Ziwa, Arnica, and our pack doctor to meet me at my residence, within a few minutes I was at my home I changed back to my human form this time my clothes were ripped off Since Fiora was unconscious I didn't bother wearing clothes and picked her bridal style to my bedroom

I wore clothes since my Delta's wife would be here.

All of them barged into my room ready for any danger when they saw nothing other than me they all bowed in respect

I asked the pack doctor to examine her

Meanwhile, we stepped outside "What happened alpha, why is she in your bedroom unconscious," Arnica, asked a little angry and rudely and that was not acceptable

" Watch where you are going female delta, I am not obliged to give any kind of explanation to you," I said, firmly

Ethan entered the hall, he saw me and Arnica, and he stood protectively in front of her mate and backed up a little

"Zack, maybe her way of asking is wrong but why in the hell is she in your bedroom unconscious... You didn't do anything... maybe...." Ziwa asked, I understood where this conversation was headed too and Ziwa's questioning eyes cleared that I wasn't getting away with this question

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Ethan's eyes mirrored Ziwa's but Arnica was getting visibly angry as if I had done something to her daughter and that bothered me

After what I saw inside the cave and the way Arnica is behaving I have my suspicions about her

"No Ziwa I have not done anything to her, I didn't even touch her in any kind of wrong way, While I was running I went to the cave and saw her unconscious there I tried to wake her but she didn't budge I remember you all talking about her not being a mere human so I brought her here so she could get a better care" I lied but the last line was darted towards Arnica

Her eyes went from angry to shocked to realization to very worried, she didn't say a word and went straight inside the room, we all followed her

The doctor saw us and said "Nothing to worry she is just unconscious, maybe some animal attacked her and she passed away from shock, there are little cuts and scratches here and there I have already bandaged them"

As soon as he stopped talking, Arnica reached Fiora and started doing some kinds of magic, celadon-coloured glimmer radiated off of her hands I felt very uncomfortable so I stopped her in mid-air

"What are you doing, female delta? Why are you behaving strangely?"

She relaxed a little and answered "I had a suspicion that maybe she is one of us so I manipulated her dreams to the cave I got a little tired so I went home I forgot to check on her, maybe that cave recognized her as a danger and this happened to her, I am just making sure that she has just fainted and nothing has happened to her soul or energy or any kind of injury that could not be examined" she finished, with her eyes filled with guilt depicting in them clearly

I let go of her hands and she started doing her things

Things became clearer to me, she was at the waterfall not for fun, she must be searching for the cave from her dreams. If I had not been there she must have been unconscious and maybe some rogues or other animal could have........

I halted my thoughts only thinking of something happening to her was making me go crazy I didn't understand this equation the smell of her was making me go wild

" Theo, is she our mate?" I asked him "I don't know she smells ravishing but the connection we should have with our mate is prominently missing I can not feel any kind of connection she just smells so delicious even in this condition I want to have her"

My talk was interrupted by Arnica's voice stating "My energy could not pass through her let's see what happens later, the sun is already up let's wait and see or I will call my queen"

We all left the room letting her sleep a little my injuries were already healed, super healing power... benefits of being a werewolf

I couldn't concentrate on my work my mind kept on pinning to a beautiful girl in my bedroom I gave up and went to my room just to see her

But I just couldn't take my eyes off of her "I don't know who you are but you seem like a very important person to me I will pray to the moon goddess for your safety and well-being" I said in a low voice

I lightly kissed her forehead and sat there holding her warm hands in mine I noticed she had a very cute and innocent face, her lashes were long her nose had a little cute bump on it and her lips looked perfectly kissable

I remembered the feel of her soft, bouncy cheeks when I cupped them in my hands in the cave

Before I could lose my sanity towards her I left the room and went to the office for a meeting I ensured someone or the other was with her

But she didn't regain her consciousness even after the day ended, Arnica was going crazy, her guilt started to eat her up

She tried all in her power to wake her up, but at last, she gave up and informed her queen of what had happened she arrived in the evening and said something in an angry tone which we couldn't understand we all could hear her arriving, heightened senses another perk of being a werewolf

She examined her and asked all of us out except Arnica

We all could hear them talking, but due to the language barrier, we couldn't understand a thing. I started becoming more sceptical that they were not just a normal witch clan.

We heard a blasting sound from the room so we rushed to the room I saw the Queen standing near Fiora, staring at her while Arnica was standing a little far in the room and my room was a mess all the furniture was broken walls had cracks in them

Ethan quickly wrapped his hands around Arnica, she opened her eyes for a few seconds and I felt something strong I don't know what, and I am confused as hell now

Whereas Arnica and her queen went out, before leaving, while talking in their language

A little later, everyone went to work. I started following them, but the thought of waiting a little more held me back, so I stayed.

She looked so beautiful in the sun's rays. "Just who are you to me, Fiora? Why do you make me feel this, what is my connection to you? Please wake up and answer my questions"

I sat there for a while and slept
