Chapter 42 Forty Two
Valerie's point of view
As the witches started chanting, I gripped firmly onto Killian's head while he had his hand on Sheila's
forehead. My eyes pierced right into the soul of his eyes as I began chanting along with the witches.
We were performing a spell that would give Killian access to Sheila's subconscious.
It's been a day now since she's been unconscious and still hasn't woken up. We have tried our very
best to ensure her condition remained stable. Her wounds had already been healed. It didn't take long
to realize that her unconscious state wasn't from the physical injuries she sustained. This was deeper
than that.
Whatever had happened in the cemetery must have affected her in some way. This wasn't from the
power of the stone; I could feel it. It was from another source, a stronger source, which happened to be
her.
What I felt the night she retrieved the stone could not be mistaken. Every one of the wolves, and even
the witches, felt the enormous magical energy that pierced through the whole pack. It was foreign, yet
so powerful.
I felt the same magic the night Killian lost control of his demon and went on a rampage. When we
arrived at the meadow, Sheila was right there with Killian, and to my surprise, Killian had regained
control of his soul. Something did happen that night, and now more than ever, I do believe it had
something to do with her.
That's when I started to have doubts about her. From the first day I met her at Luna's coronation, I
realized she carried a strong aura, but I felt it was because she was mated to an Alpha, and the first
time she stepped foot into my spell room, the door opened for her. That wasn't supposed to happen. It
only opens for anyone with magic in their blood, but yet, it opened for her. That's more confusing when
every piece of her screams she's a wolf. There's something about her that is a mystery to me. And I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtneed to find out exactly what it is.
My eyes pulled open, glowing brightly. Killian had successfully slipped into her mind. Now all I can do is
wait and hope he's able to find her.

Sheila's point of view
It was pitch black. I was completely surrounded by darkness. I felt extremely cold. I have been walking
in this darkness for what seems like forever. It feels like an endless tunnel. My heartbeat was spiking
up as I kept walking. A certain fear crippled my insides. The more I kept walking, the more the air
around me turned graver.
Suddenly, without warning, light surrounded me and I began to fall. Around me were images from my
memories, floating past me as I kept on walking. As I walked further, it was as if I was walking
backward in time to the place I had detested for the longest time, my very own home, the Silver Mist
Pack.
I saw memories with my father that I wished I could forget, moments I regretted, and they made me
hate my father all the more. I saw my father and then the ruthless way he treated me. Growing up in
the Silver Mist Pack was more than difficult; it was unbearable.
Being hated by my own father was the worst torture of my life. I had no idea why he had so much hate
for me. Like my very existence was appalling to him. It was almost as if he wanted me gone, yet at the
same time needed me. I was constantly locked up in my room like a child that wasn't wanted and
needed to be hidden away.
I kept on walking in the darkness, but the images around me disappeared. I couldn't see anything
around me from the time before I was nine. Those were memories I couldn't remember. I always found
it strange that I couldn't remember anything before then, but whenever I asked anything, I was severely
punished by my father. As I kept moving, I noticed a small light in the distance. It was glowing a bright
blue.
A rush of relief flooded my entire being. My lips broke into a smile for the first time since I had been
down here. Hopefully, it'll be a way out of this darkness.
At this point, all I wanted was to be out of the darkness. I hated it badly. Even in this horrible state of
mind, all I could think about was Killian, and how badly I craved his presence. Despite knowing that I
was not the one in his heart, I still craved his warmth.
As I walked into the light, the cold around me quickly changed to a soothing warmth. Everywhere was
bright. I looked around and realized I was surrounded by several crystals that had a faint glow of blue.
Everyone I peered into held my reflection. I tried to find a way out of here, but the crystals had formed a
wall around me.
Fear and panic rose within me when each crystal began to crack around me, and in an instant, loud
shattering sounds echoed as the crystals crashed against the ground. The loud sound pierced into my
soul, affecting me.
I collapsed to the ground and my eyes burned brightly as I was pulled away by a force, and my
surroundings changed. Everything around me was blurry. I couldn't see clearly, but I found my nine-
year-old self running through the woods to a pack house.
It wasn't the Silver Mist Pack, the environment was unfamiliar to me. I saw a woman approach me
along with two older boys. I moved closer to them, but I could only see the blurry outline of their figures.
When my younger self called her ‘mom’, my whole body became stiff. Was this woman really my
mother?
Immediately, my surroundings became dark. The loud sound lingered around me. I pulled my eyes
open and my face went pale at the sight before me, or better yet, the person before me.
My gaze pierced right through that of a young girl. She was at a distance. Her eyes were a brilliant
blue, and her lips were open, letting out a heartbreaking scream. Tears rushed down her cheeks. She
was in pain. And I felt it.
Her body was covered with blood, but it wasn't hers. It belonged to the woman laying lifeless in her
small arms. I walked closer to where she was. It took me less than a second to realize that that girl was
me. My eyes welled in tears. That was me, but I'm not sure what day it was or who that woman was.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was a banging pain in my heart like I was supposed to remember that woman. Like remembering
her meant a lot to me. Suddenly, the surroundings began to come alive. There was chaos around us.
People were dying, wolves fighting in their various forms. Pain and death took dominance, and it made
my heart ache all the more.
The loud screams from my nine-year-old self became louder. It caused the air around her to turn wild,
swallowing everything in its path. The earth shook violently, tearing up. The night sky turned red,
allowing red water to pour from it. As it soaked me, I realized it was blood, and my younger self was
quickly surrounded by a vicious-looking beast.
My heart thundered. I wanted to run to her, but the wild tornado swallowed everything around me,
returning me to darkness. All that echoed around me was the sound of people dying, and wolves
howling. I felt pain writhing through my bones. I needed this pain to end. I needed to escape from this
place. I couldn't stand the pain that killed me. Just then, I felt something. A presence.
"Sheila?" I heard in a whisper. It was almost inaudible, but it was calm and soothing. I turned around,
but I couldn't see anything in the midst of the darkness.
"Sheila," said the voice once more. I could recognize it now as it echoed in the darkness.
"Killian?" My tear-filled voice echoed in the darkness. I didn't hear the voice again, and for a frightful
second, I thought it had abandoned me.
Quickly, a warmth surrounded me. "You have to get out, Sheila. You are stuck in your mind, and you
don't belong there."
"I can't. I've tried, but I just can't seem to escape this place," I cried more.
The warmth drew closer, settling inside of me. "Come with me," he said. "I'll help you come out. You
just have to focus on my voice,"
"Please, Killian, don't leave me."
"I won't ever leave you. I promise with my life." He whispered, his words calming me, and just like he
said, I followed the sound of his voice.
It started to echo, and my surroundings grew hazy, allowing a distinct light to float in. And I felt myself
escaping.
