The Two Alphas (Editing)

Part 22

Pain; blind, intolerable, excruciating and unendurable was felt by Valerie. It was so unbearable that she was not able to even voice her discomfort. No voice was coming out of her mouth; she was just writhing and thrashing in pain. Each and every cell in her body was feeling the intensity of the pain. Something dreadful and alarming was happening with her. She felt her wolf spirit leaving her body. She felt as if someone was sucking the spirit out of her body. She saw Cayden saying something to someone in anxiety and fear. Then she saw blinding white flash of light. And with light came the relief. The pain was gone, vanished, over and she felt the peace again. In the very next moment, she felt nothing but darkness.

Valerie was floating in nothingness. She was unable to hear any sound or see any light. She knew that she was alive because she was able to feel her breaths but everything else was dormant and recessive. She was not able to feel her wolf that caused panic to set in but she was unable to express it. She felt nothing but void. She felt helpless, she wanted to scream and yell and say something but the lull of sleep pulled her back in the darkness and she was once again falling into the dark pit of void.

It was three days since the battle with hunters was over and yet Valerie was unconscious. Both packs lost some of their precious warriors and both packs were mourning in pain. But they had managed to inflict serious damages on hunters. More than half of those scoundrels were killed or seriously injured by the warriors of both packs. The rouges were wiped cleaned by them. Cayden appreciated the warriors of both packs and congratulated them on the victory.

He was acting as the spine for the Stalwart warrior pack in the absence of their alpha. He was giving hope to them that their leader will recover fully and soon. He was also acting as the shoulder for the Jackson family. Jennifer was inconsolable but he managed to control her. Valerie's sister Genesis was other story. She was determined in fear that she will loose her sister just like her father and Jason was trying to console her but left in vain.
Charles was working on something along with Alexei who left for Russia immediately after the battle to join Dmitri and to find out about hunters. Kevin was acting like a true strong leader in the absence of her sister. He was managing the pack very well and Cayden was helping him in every way possible. The pack members started believing in Cayden and were accepting his warmth with open arms.

The said alpha was pacing outside Valerie's room from the past half an hour because Flora and Autumn were both inside performing some sort of magical ritual upon her for her recovery. He was left aghast when he learned that Randall had brought a witch with him in the battle and that she tried to separate Valerie from her wolf. Everything that was happening was not making any sense to him. Hunters, Randall and his association with witches and how did the hunters manage to convince rouges to fight for them.

He knew one thing that he was thankful of Alexei because somehow he knew that something like this would happen in the battle and he brought Autumn with him at the last minute who was able to counter the magic of that witch who was accompanying Randall and managed to save Valerie on the crucial time. Before he could question him about anything after the battle was over he was off to Russia. Cayden was deep in thoughts when suddenly he heard the door opening. When he looked back he saw Flora coming out of the room.

"How is she?" He asked desperately to get information on her mate's health.

"Recovering." Flora replied.

Cayden craned his neck to have a look in the Valerie's room.

"You can go inside. Maybe the presence of your wolf can help her to heal faster." Flora suggested and left. Cayden took her advice and entered the room where he found Autumn enchanting some sort of spell. He saw that a pentagon sort of shape was drawn with salt around Valerie's bed and candles were lit. Some sort of healing potions were also placed and he noticed that some crystals like runes were also lying in the pentagon.
