Chapter 54:

Alley POV:

How in the hell did they create a seer. "It's how she knew you were the next great white witch." Atsila croaked out. Stephen stood in front of me and I could feel the anger roll off of him. I rubbed my hand up and down his arm to calm him before I stepped beside him. "You have a lot of explaining to do dick head." Tye seethed out. I knew they would still be mad but I couldn't. "Boys cool it now. Let him speak." I snapped, they lowered their eyes and nodded. "First I owe you all an apology. I couldn't tell a soul without Stella being in danger.We had only met a few days prior before Bosch took her from me.." His eyes were on her with nothing but love showing. "Where is she from? None of our packs are missing anyone." Stephen asked. She smelled like a wolf so she wasn't human. "I met her in the Blue Moon pack. I was bestowing a young white witch her fire element when we crossed paths. I didn't even get the chance to talk to the moon goddess. I would live if she died but the bond is strong and I felt all the pain they put her through. I was to be his eyes and ears, taking back information to him. I thank the moon goddess you learned how to put your shield up. It threw him for a loop and he had to come up with another plan." Atsila said. My heart hurt for him. I don't know how I would handle feeling what he did if something were to happen to Stephen. I shuddered at the thought. "How is Bethany a seer?" I asked.
I watched as Atsila ran his fingers over Stellas face. He looked sad and relieved at the same time. "I wasn't there when it happened, they held a ritual before I even met Stella. He said he could feel the next great white witch going to rise and where so they held it before Alley even knew she was a witch." Atsila said. So she knew? How in the hell did he know it would be me and where I was even at? Why did Bethany even help him? I honestly hoped she could see me ripping her limb from limb in her near future. "He kept track of the linkage and watched everyone, he needs you to have all your powers and the power from the golden moon to sacrifice you to gain your powers." Atsila said, it sent chills down my spine. How was he left alive after what he did? Was this all a game to him? For shits sake he could have taken my ass out long ago but he wouldn't gain any powers if I didn't have mine. "How does he plan to take Alleys power?" My mother asked, her words came out harsh and made Atsila flinch, I couldn't help but smirk. My mother was the sweetest woman ever but threatened her family and she became lethal in more ways than one. "He has the dagger.." He whispered. I heard the others gasp in surprise and their eyes wide. "What dagger?" I asked, not liking their response to his words.
"We forged a dagger that would take his life, draining him of his powers but he disappeared before we could get him so we hid the dagger in the volcano miles away, how did he find it?" Davina asked, shock clear across her face. "I don't know, he now has the one thing that can kill us and he thinks that it can transfer power to him." Atsila said with his head cast down. I could see regret on his face, he was torn on what to do. I walked over to him kneeling in front of him. "Hey, don't beat yourself up. None of us can say what we would have done because we weren't in your shoes, I'm sorry I didn't believe you." I said, offering a small smile. I knew something wasn't right and I should have figured it out sooner. "I don't blame any of you for being mad. I should have reached out for help but I was scared." Atsila said, his words trailed off when his eyes landed on Stella. "Why isn't she waking up?" I asked him, "They tortured her, filled her body with silver, lashed her with whips dipped in silver. They've weakened her and her wolf." He said, I could see the tears that had formed in his eyes, he felt all her pain, each time they injected her or whipped her he felt it.
I couldn't sit here any longer and watch him suffer the way he is. He should have reached out for help but I also understand the fear of losing the one person you love most in the world. I stood up and walked towards her, I sat down in front of her taking in what she looked like. She had deep brown hair that was matted with mud and blood, she had lacerations across her entire body that would take a long time to heal. I placed my hand on her head trying to feel her wolf praying to the goddess I could feel her wolf. I felt something stir within her and I knew her wolf was still there. I placed my other hand beside the other one resting gently on her head. I cleared my mind with only one thought left, healing. I needed to heal her, the others didn't want help and that was fine but I could feel her pain. She's trapped in her own mind clawing to get out, she just didn't know how. Relaxing my body and taking deep breaths, digging deep within me I felt the familiar warmth spread across my chest. I felt her body twitch under me and I knew she started to feel it too.
Her breathing became steadier, and she started to move a little more. Little by little I could feel what she had been through, all the pain and fear she held inside all the silver that was shoved in her system started to fade away. I opened my eyes feeling my element spread through me, the more I pushed the more it worked through her. Her eyes snapped open and they glowed bright blue, I took my hands off her head, she blinked a few times before she looked around the room. Fear evident on her face, Atsila was at her side in the blink of an eye. I started to stand when my legs gave out, Stephen quickly caught me before I hit the ground. I offered him a small smile as I looked at him, "Are you okay princess?" Stephen asked, looking at me with worried eyes. "I'm okay, just tired." I whispered, turning my attention to the now awoken Stella. "How do you feel Stella?" I asked her. She looked between everyone before she finally rested her eyes on me. "I feel much better, where am I?" She asked. "Shh it's okay you're safe now, this is Alley. She is the great white witch." Atsila whispered to her while he brushed her hair out of her face. She looked at me and a shy smile graced her face. "Thank you Luna, I will forever be at your service." She said to me, ``Please call me Alley, you don't owe me anything, it was the least I could do." I said to her,
I watched as her features changed, something was swirling around her head. "I can trust you all?" She asked. "Yes you can, what's wrong?" Stephen asked. He obviously saw the change in her. "Bethany is after the boy." Stella said, her face paled as if she just realized something. "What boy?" I asked, feeling my heart start to race in my chest. "What pack am I in?" She asked. "The Blackwood pack." I stated. Her eyes went wide as she looked between Stephen and I. "Shit. He's here. The boy is here." She said looking frantic. "What boy Stella?" Atsila asked, holding her head between his hands trying to get her to focus on him. "When I was in that cell I overhead Bethany and Bosch, the next seer that will rise will be for the white witches, she could see his being blessed sometime soon." Stella said with a shaky breath. "Stella hun you need to tell me the name of the boy." Atsila said, not breaking his eye contact with her. She had tears in her eyes and her bottom lip trembled. I swear to the goddess if she doesn't spit a fucking name out I'm going to lose my shit.
She took a deep breath collecting herself.
"Danny, the boys name is Danny." She whispered.
