Chapter 33 - Farah

*****Maddison's POV*****

"W...What are you?" I question, gobsmacked at the sight before me.

The large deer creature was now a 5ft 10 female with long auburn hair.

"I am exactly like yourself... however my species shift into deer rather than wolves." She explains softly, as she eats away at the Apple that Seth and I had tried to feed to her in her deer form.

"Oh...but how come I've never seen anyone like you before?" I question again as Seth just stands by my side gawking at her.

"My species is basically extinct now... I am the last of my kind as far as I know..." She continues, as my mouth falls open in horror.

She looks at me briefly, before inhaling to continue-

"We were much stronger than wolves so we were hunted for years by large packs until they eventually killed everyone.... well except from me since I had fled north and kept a low profile." She sits down on one of our blankets watching the river.

"I'm sorry to hear that... but I must tell you that it's not safe here on this land... in fact, how did you even manage to find this place? It's hidden away for only rogues to use..." I explain, as I sit down on the other blanket, Seth following my lead.

"Oh... well I guess since I'm the last one then I must now be classed as a rogue? I don't know really but I guess I don't exactly have a pack to belong to anymore... but anyway, why are you both here you seem way too nice to be rogues?" She furrows her eyebrows, before tossing away the core of her apple.

"It's a long story but we are basically trapped here by an evil woman and until she dies then we can't leave." I sigh, as she just stares at me sadly.

"Why does she have to die?" She asks further as I shrug.

"She basically runs this place, she controls everyone here and if we leave then she will be sure to make our lives hell for as long as she lives... my father and my mate should be here soon though to try and save us but the woman is stronger than we think." I tell her, feeling like I can trust her for some weird reason.

"That sucks... well if it helps then I can stay here with you both until they save you? I can maybe help kill her? I mean I've not spoken to anyone in twelve years and the company would be nice for a while..." she smiles at us softly and shrugs.

"Yeah sure..." I smile back as she nods.

Maybe she could help us... after all she did say that her kind were stronger than wolves.

"Great... I'm Farah by the way." She smiles.

"I'm Maddison and this here is Seth... he's kinda shy..." I laugh as I gesture to Seth who just waves over to her with a small smile.

"Nice to meet you both." She nods with a laugh.

I like her. It feels slightly safer having her here for some reason... maybe the moon Goddess sent her to protect us.


*****Coda's POV*****

I hiss out as the large injection stabs into my arm for the eighth time today.

This was the last of the transfers for today and I could feel the increased power in my veins already.

It felt right to feel this strong and powerful. Almost as if my body was now being restored back to its destined state.

This was who I was born to be. A strong Alpha. Not some weak abused boy.

But I blame my father for that...

"At this rate you will be able to go there in two days rather than three." The doctor confirms causing the King to nod happily.

"The faster we can leave the better." He confirms, as I nod in agreement.

Karson's blood was helping to speed up the whole process.

"I hope she's doing okay..." I sigh out, forgetting where I was for a second before I look to see the King with furrowed brows.

"You really do seem to care about my daughter don't you..." He concludes, as I don't waste time on nodding.

"I do sir and I will forever apologise for the mess that I've put her in." I gulp, feeling a wave of shame flush over me as I think about Maddison being stuck there with that evil bitch.

"We will get her back and when we do... you and I will have a long chat about this whole situation in order to move forward." The King states.

Does that mean he's willing to forgive me for what I've done? I hope so. I just want to be with Maddison forever and to have a normal life.

I also plan on taking over from my father too. He doesn't deserve to be an Alpha. He shouldn't be entitled to torture and ruin an innocent pack.

I also want to find my mother. I need to know where she is and what happened to her. She didn't deserve the hell that he put her through and for that he will pay.

"Okay that's you all done for today." The doctor nods, as I stand from the bed.

"I will have two of my guards escort you to one of the guest rooms and don't even think about trying to leave during the night. My pack border is doubled with security and there will be guards outside your door at all times. Until I have my daughter back, you will remain a prisoner." The King stares directly at me with his arms folded over his chest to show me that he's serious.

"I wouldn't think about running off sir I can assure you of that. I want her safe as much as you do and this is our only chance to save her." I agree causing him to nod with a sigh.

"Follow my guards and I will see you in the morning for the next round of injections." He nods before exiting the room leaving me with two of his guards.

"Follow us." They state, as I do what they say and head off in direction of my designated room for the night.

If this whole mess drags on for any longer than two days I think I might actually die from heart break... I need her safe and with me again.
