Chapter 249: _Elder Davina Is Dead "The bracelet..." Kaelos muttered, stretching his right hand and wrapping it tenderly around my wrist. The magic bracelet flashed with a red light... something that has never happened since the Elders of the Luminari coven gave it to me. He’s right... "Thank you, Alpha King and Luna Queen. The wolves of North America are indeed lucky to have you as leaders." Governor Daniel said as he slowly raised his head again. "Would you relax? You did what you had to do to protect yourself." He said firmly, caressing my wrist. "Besides... The rule said you’re banned from using your powers in public. Look around, Odessa..." . ’That’s not supposed to be any better. I don’t know what’s waiting for us once we get back to America but I have a bad feeling.’ I remarked mentally as a portal opened up for us at the other end of the pocket dimension. After the death of the raven witch, the mental manipulation magic she left on some of the human soldiers wore off. But most of them remembered all the atrocities they committed while being controlled by her. "Hello, Layla?" Kaelos breathed out. "Tell High priestess Althea to open another portal that’ll take Odessa and me back home. We—" He was now dressed in a clean black suit and pants, his face devoid of the burn marks he had in the pocket dimension. "I wish the same for your wolves." The Governor uttered as Kaelos and I finally turned away from them. "I watched him explode, Odessa. And I couldn’t do anything to help him. He told me to help him and I couldn’t do that." It was almost as if I was being watched... . ’And if there’s one thing I trust... It’s my intuition.’ "S–Sir...something’s wrong." Layla’s voice was hesitant at the other end. "This is bad..." I brushed my right hand through my hair, trying to step away from Kaelos a bit. But he grabbed my wrist gently, causing me to squint my eyes. I nodded slowly, feeling rage simmering from him as we paused walking for a second. His jaw clenched as he let out a heavy sigh. I smiled weakly, bringing my hand to his face and caressing it gently. "As long as we live... We wouldn’t let that happen. Okay?" I shook my head, tightening my grip on his hand. "No. Kaelos, it wasn’t your fault. It isn’t your fault that the witch did all those things to the captives and even the human soldiers. They’re victims as well." "I love you." He blurted much to my surprise, pecking me on the side of my cheek. "Let’s get out of here. I can’t wait to head back to Blood Oak. I’m done with Mexico.") Gosh, I’ll never get tired of staring into those silver orbs. Some were forced to pull out of the force and seek therapy. Back in the Iron Fang pack, the Alpha council of that pack came together under Kaelos’ direction and picked a new Alpha to take over the late, corrupt Alpha’s place. The next few hours in Mexico were hectic... yet so worth it. "And that’s in a day’s work..." Isaiah and Governor Daniel stood with Kaelos and me at the gates of Mexico City. "There’s no one here. The wolves in the capsules didn’t see you and the raven witch is dead. You’ve got nothing to worry about." "Elder Davina was murdered, sir." He gestured at the pocket dimension. It was empty and left in ruins. I could feel the guilt he felt like it was mine as he continued speaking. As for the werewolf captives, after the witches of Mexico City checked and confirmed that the ritual done by the Raven witch had indeed cleared after her death, each of them was sent back to their resident packs. I smiled at him, wrapping my arms around his. "We did it. We saved those wolves and now Mexico wouldn’t be afraid of any looming conflicts." My expression fell instantly. She sounded like she’d been crying for hours. He blinked at me, his silver eyes glinting with warmth. His voice and his words grounded me, causing my lips to curl into a smile. The male witch now had an impressed look on his face, a great contrast when compared to how he looked down on us when we first approached the city’s gates. We both let out a chuckle, walking to the other side of the collapsing pocket dimension hand in hand. But as we did, I couldn’t shake off this ominous feeling. But then, he slowly brought his gaze to my stomach with a bitter smile. "I thought about our unborn child during that moment. I imagined what I’d do if they were in that situation. Used like some disposable lab rat." I tensed up slightly as he drew out his phone from his pocket, dialling a number. After a few rings, the person at the other end picked up. His smile was genuine, and I couldn’t help but smile in return, glancing at Kaelos, who gave a curt nod. He grunted, looking away briefly. "I hope your city gets the healing it needs," Kaelos said. ’Maybe it’s just the elders of the Luminari Coven. You should be fine.’ Sirena said in my head but I was far from "fine". "There was a little boy. One of the captives. He... He was augmented with magic but his body was too fragile to contain the artificial hybrid spell holding him together." "What happened? Another riot?" Kaelos queried with a tense expression. "We’ll address those and put an end to them once—" "We acquired great losses..." Governor Daniel said, a solemn expression on his face as he smiled wryly. "But it could’ve gotten much worse without your help. So..." "Not everyone was saved." Kaelos interrupted, his tone sounding solemn and his eyes becoming distant. Or even more. I didn’t need a divination witch to tell me what that meant. The bracelet had sensed me extending power similar to the charity Ball incident. Kaelos gave a wry smile. "Yes, but that raven witch was working for the Lord of the North. And if she’s been working for him since my mother’s death... I can’t help but wonder how old he is and what exactly his connection with me is." Suddenly, the two men bowed slightly in front of Kaelos and me, causing my lips to part in shock. "I’m so glad we saved all those people," I muttered, leaning against his shoulder. "Whatever lingering effects were left behind by the raven witch should wear off with her death. But the witches would have to check each wolf just in—" Layla’s words came like a punch to the gut, causing my stomach to drop.
