Chapter 27: Part 2 The good witch

Mei's POV



Luka was still fast asleep so I took the opportunity to just admire the man next to me. He was breathing
softly as we were both facing each other. I couldn't help myself not to touch his cheeks which I did
gently, caressing him whilst I could. I think he felt my cold hands warming up against his face as he
lifted his hand cupping mine still with his eyes closed.



"You already awake?" He asked me still with his sleepy deep voice.





"Only to watch you sleep my darling," I said as my eyes gazed on his lips.



He opened his breathtaking grey eyes that met mine as he leaned in for a kiss.





"I am hoping that today will be a winning day for us. I am so done worrying about everything. I don't
want our child and future children to be brought up not knowing what the forest offers because we won't
risk facing the vampires."





He held his hand on my still flat belly caressing it. I smiled and inhaled sharply.



"We won't have that kind of future for our kids and the next generations to come. We fight today to win
tomorrow's freedom."



I brought my fingers through his hair, noticing that he was growing a few white strings of hair from the
front.



"Let's get up, my old man. We need to train early, remember?"



I rolled over and got up feeling energetic. It might be that I was nervous and that drew my energy level
up. I wore my green training top and black training trousers that would match with Luka's clothing.



I walked down the stairs to join the packs for training. Lylah was having a conversation with the children
that have gathered around her enjoying her storytelling as they were all sitting down on the floor.







"It was a bit, yes, but then I got used to the tingly feeling, Nelly said to Sindy. The tiny fairy smiled at her
response and wondered when she will ever get to her fifteenth birthday to be able to have magic too
like her older sister."





I approached Lylah and the kids slowly, admiring her. She knows how to entertain the pups. Lylah
looked up towards my direction and stopped the story. A few kids started to protest and so she smiled
at them and brushed her fingers over their hair.



"Good morning Mei. How are you feeling today?"



She looked at my belly as she raised her eyebrows. I looked down rubbing both my hands on my belly
smiling.



"Can't wait to have him in my arms," I answered having the feeling that its a boy.



"Too early to say if you are trying to ask me to check for you. You cannot yet tell what it will turn out to
be. Either or, they are both rewarding, right?" She asked looking back at the kids hugging a few of
them.





"Where is it?" One four years old blonde girl asked.



Both Lylah and I giggled. Lylah pointed at my belly to show her.



"I don't see it though," she said innocently, searching my belly.



"Yes, that is because it is still growing inside her. In a few months, you will see her belly grow," Lylah
explained to her looking at me.





I smiled back at her as I watched her lifting herself from the floor. She was wearing a light blue dress
covering up to her ankles. She walked to me and took both my hands in hers and closed her eyes. I
stared at her not knowing why she did that, waiting for her to open her eyes again and explain to me.



"Seems like everything is fine. Can't satisfy your curiosity though as of yet. As I said, the gender reveal
must be later on," she said as she brought her hand to my belly. "I will take care of you till the day your
pup is born."



Luka walked towards us as we were about to walk outside to watch everyone settling down for training.







"Morning Lylah," He said looking serious.



It takes him time to adjust in the morning. He rubbed both his eyes roughly before proceeding to
continue with the conversation.





"Today we will not train as hard as the other days to allow the pack the energy they need for later. I
hope that they are ready," he explained.





"They are ready Luka. I promise you that. One thing though. You will have some losses before the war
is over, but you will manage to win."





Lylah looked at us with a determined face as Luka looked at her with concern.





"I don't want any losses. Is there anything you can do to help?" he asked.



"I have already done my best. I cannot cheat death. It is against the good witches' rules. Those kind of
spells are dark and can never be used."



Luka nodded in acceptance then looked outside at everyone like he is seeing them for the last time.



"It's time," he said after a while. "Mei, let's go".



It was half an hour into training when we all had a large explosion coming from outside our territory, yet
not so far from it. We all went silent in shock.





"The daywalkers are trying to trick us. They want us to go outside to investigate and kill us during the
process.



"No one leaves from here," Lylah screamed.





Luka, Lylah and my self ran towards the gate to check where the bomb landed.



"There," Luka said pointing at its direction. "You know what this means?" He continued.



"They have weapons," I said now getting nervous.



Lylah placed a hand on our shoulders.



"They don't know one thing though. They have no idea you have a witch by your side that can
designate their explosions. I have even a better idea. Why not making them explode whilst they have
them in their territory?" She smiled cheekily and waited for Luka's command.



He looked at me for a second then back at her. "Do it," he confirmed.



I left to gather all the kids inside to take them to the dungeons and as luna, I ordered everyone to take
their places as Luka explained the day before.



"It's time. You must all get ready. I want all the pups to come with me."







There were hundreds of children that followed me down the long staircase that led to the prison cells.
They were all empty and it was silent before the kids arrived.





"Right, now I need your ears for a second my darlings. I need you all to be quiet as soon as I give the
order. We do not want to draw any attention towards the vampires. I want the oldest of you to be in
front and the youngest at the back once we reach the dungeon. Lylah will do a spell for us to be
invisible to trick the bloodsuckers from seeing us but they can still hear our every movement. They are
ugly and scary and you don't want them to get close to you as they can make you become one of
them."



Suddenly we all heard a very loud explosion. The packs that were outside must have gotten their ears
burst. I hoped that everyone was ok within our walls.



"Ok now settle down darlings. Remember training. Just in case the ugly monsters spot us, we must be
ready for the moment."



Luka's POV





I was preparing the pack with a motivational speech when I got interrupted by the loudest explosion I
ever heard. By instinct, I was brought down to my knees as the sound wave hit my eardrums. Everyone
started to groan and complain about pain as they hold their hands on their ears. I have left Lylah to do
her magic near the gate and my gut told me to go check if she was ok. As soon as I reached the gate,
she was on the floor looking drained and tired.



"Lylah," I called to her.



She looked up at me and that is when I felt my body feel numb.



"No, no, no, no, no Lylah. Help! Bring me a few doctors Nelson, hurry," I screamed.



As soon as I reached her, her body fell to the floor. I managed to reach for her head before it hit the
ground.





"Lylah, stay with me. You are going to be ok."





She looked at me barely opening her eyes when suddenly I felt myself being shifted into a
hallucination.





"Where am I?"



Looking down on the floor Lylah was gone. I looked around me and noticed I was someplace else.
There were dozens of children playing in the field that was part of the large packhouse. My eyes settled
on a beautiful rose that brought a smile on my face thinking I should give it to Mei but my thoughts were
interrupted as I heard a voice coming from behind me.





"We don't have much time Luka. The vampires are closer then we all thought. The explosion was a few
hundred meters away. Its blast tore my insides in a dozen pieces. I don't have much hope. I will do my
best to keep my body alive until the fight is over."



I looked at Lylah feeling ashamed of myself for not thinking about protecting her.





"Lylah, I have the best doctors one can find. They will help you get better. Just stay strong. Please,
don't die. I don't want even one soul to die."



Lylah looked at me smiling "witches don't have a soul silly, remember?"





I felt myself being pulled back into reality as I watched Lylah fade into nothing.



"Hold tight. Soul or not, I am going to save you anyway."





I lifted her holding her tight against my chest and walked towards the house pack entrance. Two
doctors whom one was female came running down the hallway with two other male nurses following
them behind with a stretcher.





"Save her. She got caught in the blast of the explosion."





I brought her down on the stretcher whilst they were taking out all the equipment necessary to give her
first aid before proceeding to the hospital.



"Pulse, very low, breathing, barely, bleeding none externally but possibly internally. Raylene, ventilator."



Bernard took the ventilator from Raylene and placed the pipe in her mouth gently. They checked her
body from any bruises which seemed there were a few that were possibly getting bigger as time went
by so they rushed her inside.



I mind linked Mei to check if everything was ok from her side.



"We are settled," she said back.



"Lylah got injured, she is taken to hospital," I informed her.



"How, what happened?"





I didn't have much time to explain everything so I just ended the conversation with "tell you later" and
rushed back outside to make sure that everyone got themselves ready for battle.



"I need all the alphas to follow me. We will go to their shelter where they keep the offsprings and burn it
down. We will start from there since it should be the easiest place to start from. They will get much
weaker if they have no one to replace them after their death."



I waited for them to gather all behind the gate before I ordered the guards to open. Half of the Alphas
changed into wolf form which was all in front of the ones that chose to remain in human form. Since I
was the one leading I was in front, in wolf form. Me being the largest of the wolves I felt myself
overpowering everyone and everything and got motivated that we were going to win.



"We sneak in, no sounds. Follow me."



I scented everywhere and let my nose lead the way. We entered into their territory and I kept sniffing
our way to the offsprings location where the smell was getting nastier. Everywhere smelt of rotting skin
and iron which almost made me gag a couple of times. After a few minutes, I managed to find the right
spot.



"Look at that! Oh gosh!" One alpha said, disgusted.





Their nest was dark and massive, with a lot of slimy purple stuff coming down from everywhere
especially the ceiling. There were large skin-looking transparent sacks, filled with a transparent purple
liquid. In each sack, there were baby vampire fetuses that were floating in that liquid.



You could see the shadows of each child from inside their eggs moving around, which looked
disgusting to watch. I moved towards one of these sacks and noticed that the offspring was still forming
the skin around its face, with its sharp teeth exposed and its eyes were still without the eyelid.
Disgusting! We couldn't waste time so I asked a few of the alphas to go further in and start the fire
whilst I placed a few more alphas in different spots to help burn it all down.
